MUSIC AND MOVIES - SHAWSHANK REDEMTION

If I have to just choose one movie of the whole lot ( It will Kill me !! ) , but If I do have to it will be "SHAWSHANK REDEMTION". It brought me down to tears out of pleasure for the few times , after I saw it for the first time.

"Hope is a good thing , Maybe the best of things & a good thing never dies "
- Andrew "Andy" Dufresne
Shawshank Redemtion is based on Stephen King novella " Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption". The best part about movies based on literary works is that the screenplay is rock solid and ready for improvisation by the actors.

That's why they always are a treat to watch.

This movie is considered to be the All Time Best even toppling the likes of GodFather.
The film portrays Andy ( Tim Robbins ) spending nearly two decades in Shawshank State Prison and escaping when the day he hears the full story of his Wife's murder. He feels free from guilt and wants to break free which he does with panache.
It also potrays his frienship with fellow inmate Red ( Morgan Freeman in yet another brilliant role ).

Movie is about many flavors of life :
"Survival"
"Aceeptance"
"Friendship"
"Perseverance"
& most importantly "Hope".

============================
Why Special to Me ?
============================
Hope is a quality I always try to embibe in my way of life.
This movie just strengthed the argument.
Also ,
a very subtle observation is of Friendship - Its a very subtle but maybe strongest bond around.
A guy on brink of taking his life stopped & went all the way to spend time with his friend on the sea shore towards a new sunny bright pristine LIFE.

!! Absolutely Brillant !!
