The Shawshank Redemption

i have been wanting to blog about
my favorite movie forever and it just
seemed the words would not come

when i blog, the words must come easy
i must not struggle

what brought me to this blog today
was watching one of my favorite
movies "The Shawshank Redemption"
i think i watched it a dozen times and
each time i am enthralled by it

i love the way Andy figures things out
he seems to have so much patience
and even tho he was never guilty
he just took his sentence as a way
of life, at least we thought he did

his friendship with Red was very
endearing, and it just proofs that
friendships are very strong indeed

it's a powerful, poignant, thought-provoking
challenging film like no other i have watched

the ending of the movie when Andy is
in Zihuatanejo on that amazing beach
and Red walks up the beach towards
Andy, is forever a picture perfect postcard

quoting Andy
"Get busy watching, or get busy dying."

he is right, the yellow is out there
it surrounds all of us~~

what movie has forever touched you
and allows you to watch it over again
a zillion times only to watch it one
more time?
