this movie talks about Hope..i cannot watch it without drawing some comparisons between our lives and this movie.

we all seem to be locked in our own little prisons/worlds,and quite a few of us have lost sight of Hope.

the Hope for Love,companionship,of fairness and justice,of Life itself.
i look around,and i see lots of people who are so negative,or let negativity rule their lives,and i wish they could regain their Hope.

to some of you,this movie probably was just a prison movie..to me,it was one of the greatest movies ever made.

i ask you for your opinions of this movie,and also..do you have Hope?

" get busy living,or get busy dying "

" i find im so excited i can barely sit still,or hold a thought in my head."

" i think its the excitement only a free man can feel,a free man at the start of a long journey,whos conclusion is uncertain."

' i Hope to see my friend and shake his hand..i Hope the pacific is as blue as it is in my dreams......i Hope "

I read it as a novella, 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank
Redemption' And I was not disappointed in the movie.

It's a great movie....I happen to be a big believer in karma and spiritual growth so to me there is more to most things than meets the eye...no accidents.

I agree- one of the best movies ever made! And hope is key to happiness, along with faith and love~

Incredible movie....

I liked both the movie and the novella... a story 'bout starting over and making friends along the way.

Agreed. Great story and great movie.

When anyone asks me.
What is the best movie ending ever.
It is always The Shawshank Redemption.

What an awesome movie.

Agree... The movie and the novella in Different Seasons are both great. As well as the novella "The Body" in the same book, which is of course what Stand By Me was based on.
This is agreeing with Michiganman and JustAGuy...I'm on my ipod touch so it is probably why it messed up when I tried to quote the posts..
