The Shawshank Redemption

A well-said story that went about at its own pace just to surprise us with a smile in the end - but highly overrated. For me, it was a story about a man who tried to keep his peace, work his way through pain; he lived with complete knowledge of his innocence; he knew that he had to find a way out, and was determined. Perseverance, Focus and Humility.
I couldn't help but think of all that we take for granted; particularly, freedom. This movie brings out a different perspective to life - Get busy living or get busy dying.

Quotes:
"What the fuck do you care, new fish? Doesn't fuckin' matter what his name was; he's dead."

"You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?"
"No."
"They say it has no memory; that's where I want to live the rest of my life... One place with no memory."

"Get busy living or get busy dying."
