The Shawshank Redemption

Un film de Oscar, vechi dar pe care eu, recunosc, abia acum, cand l-am revazut dupa 7-8 ani, l-am priceput cu adevarat.
Pe langa interpretarile superbe ale celor doi actori din rolurile principale, Morgan Freeman si Tim Robbins, este un film despre conceptul de a fi om chiar si in cele mai rele locuri de pe pamant, asa cum era descrisa inchisoarea din film.
Sa nu te lasi schimbat de mediu in care iti duci existenta si sa incerci sa-l modifici ca sa fie cu un pic mai aproapede sufletul tau, si prin acest efortte vei simti un pic mai bun chiar si intr-o gaura neagra.

Cele doua citate de mai jos mi s-au parut relevante pentru a incerca sa vedeti sau sa revedeti filmul asta, chiar numai pentru a auzi vocea calma a lui Red, interpretat de Morgan Freeman, cum iti expune epopeea unui individ care era in primul rand om.

Red: [narrating] I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.

Red: [narrating] We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy - he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.
