I Hope

1994 gave us some unbelievable movies. "Pulp Fiction", "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption" to name a few. "The Shawshank Redemption" was unbelievably good with monologues like this one from Red.
Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'. That's goddamn right. For the second time in my life, I am guilty of committing a crime. Parole violation. Of course, I doubt they'll toss up any roadblocks for that. Not for an old crook like me... I find I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
That's goddamn right.

One of the best movies ever. And reading that gives me chills. I love Red. He spoke to me and I think he spoke to everyone who watched this movie.
Get busy livin!
