I've Had Mr. Mozart to keep me company. The music was in here, in my head, and in here in my heart.That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you. Haven't you ever felt that way about music?...Here's where it makes the most sense.We need it so we don't forget...that there are places in the world that aren't made out of stone, that there's, somethin' inside that they can't get to, that they can't touch. It's yours. It's hope. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.


Story


A film about hope or the lack of it. The Tale of two prisoners. Red, a remarkable performance by Morgan Freeman, and Andy Dufrense, character played by Tim Robbins. When the story begins we find Andy being held on trial for murdering his wife and her lover, a budding golf professional. For some reason , it was never revealed if he was really guilty of that crime or not. But the performance of Tim robbins we have that immense unknown compulsion to believe that he is innocent. He was sent to shawshank prison. Red , A seers at the prison , can get ''just about anything with a reason'' for the inmates, having served 20 years and hoping the parole board will actually release him if he convinced them that he has changed. The Parole rejected his application. what did these two men have in common that made them such good friends ? Based on a Novel by Stephen King's Novel Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption.


Both of them hoped they would be out of prison someday. Andy had the tough time in prison , with the obtuse and corrupted warden on one side and the pestering bull Queers on the other. Will Red get the parole, or Andy Managed to prove himself innocent. watch and Find out ?.


Favorite quotes( there are too many )


#1.


We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lords of all Creation


#2.


These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, it gets so you depend on 'em. That's 'institutionalized'...They send you here for life and that's exactly what they take, the part that counts anyway.


#3.


Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside. Better get used to that idea.


#4.


Red: That don't make you a murderer. Bad husband, maybe. Feel bad about it if you want to but you didn't pull the trigger.


Andy: No, I didn't. Somebody else did and I wound up in here. Bad luck, I guess.


#5.


Lord! It's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind.


#6.


Get busy Living , or get Busy Dying.


#7.


Put your trust in the lord, your a** belongs to me. Welcome to Shawshank.


#8.


Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singin' about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words and makes your heart ache because of it


#8.


The funny thing is, on the outside ( the prison), I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.''


#9.


I tell you, those voices soared.


Higher and farther than anybody in


a gray place dares to dream. It was


like some beautiful bird flapped


into our drab little cage and made


these walls dissolve away...and for


the briefest of moments -- every


last man at Shawshank felt free.


#10.


I don't think you ought to be doing this to yourself, Andy. This is just s--tty pipedreams. I mean, Mexico is way the hell down there and you're in here, and that's the way it is.


And For Desserts


If There is somewhere down there you may have lost hope. This movie is for you. This movie gave me goose pimples. What I would really notice is the way , Andy and Red almost gave up hope. I said Almost. Sometimes you cant help noticing that you are a prisoner of your own fears. You cant help relating yourself to the movie.


The theme of the movie is


Fear can hold you Prisoner , Hope can set you free


Note:If you really want to see this movie online visit https://vzavenue.net/~speedtech/index2.html


You need to have real player installed. The picture quality isnt that good, but makes a good viewing.


Note There is another movie on the same grounds called The sharkTank Redemption. This plays more emphasis on being a prisoner to your office desk. In a funny way ofcourse. And Morgan Freemans son , Alfonso Freeman, was among the lead. Watch it if you have the time.
