The Shawshank Redemption

Maybe sometimes what we lack is hope, or the courage for hope. Like Red in The Shawshank Redemption, he hadn’t believed that one was able to tunnel through a wall with a rock hammer and crawl through a 500-yard long foul drain until Andy did.

I prefer the words in the letter that Andy wrote to Red: Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

At the end of the movie, what moves me is not the good conclusion but Red’s four more hopes. It means he has been free indeed.
