“Get busy living or get busy dying”

While The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is not my favorite film of all time, it’s the most profound to me. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I watched it when I was in law school, which was my form of prison at the time. The film is more than just about a physical prison, but more about a spiritual prison and how the human spirit cannot be broken as long as you have hope. As Andy said it best: “There are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours….Hope.”
