Life in Prison

"He stroll...like a man in the park, without a care or worry in the world."

Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), describing Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) who was sentenced to life imprisonment, in one of my favourite movie - - The Shawshank Redemption.

Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins at their best.

Ever since i saw this movie, i've always wondered why both of them couldn't win any Oscar Award...and they finally have it in 2003 and 2004 - - Best Supporting Actor Awards.

But really, they deserved The Best Actor Awards, no?

Back to the movie, i've found quite a lot of wonderful quotes, among them are:

Everybody in here is innocent, don't you know that?

I didn't do it, lawyer f*cked me.

Prison life consist of routine, and more routine...

We sat and drank with sun on our shoulder and felt like freeman. Hell we could have been taring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lord of all creation...And we feel normal again, even if only for the short while!

I'm a convicted murderer providing sound financial plans. A wonderful pet to have.

I tell you those voices soared, higher and further than anyone in the great place they dares to dream. It was like some beautiful birds flap into our trapped little cage and made those walls dissolved away. And for the briefest moment, every last man in Shawshank felt freedom.

...something, inside, they can't get to it, they can't touch, it's yours...HOPE!

...get busy livin', or busy dying, that's god damn right...

...i hope to see my friend, and shake his hand...i hope...

Andy took 20 years to dig a rabbit hole, get out of one world to a better one, and me???

Get busy living at the moment, i guess :)
