Redemption

Recently or not so recently I saw a movie "SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION". Classic stuff though I aint somebody who understands or claims to understand art,life or other big words there are..
Theme although was good, is quite alien to me...HOPE can set you FREE...Two protagonists but..This is one story where theme takes precedence over characters...Morgan freeman in his inimitable baritone...And Tim Robbins in a sterling performance....
I read somewhere....When I thought it was the end of road for me, GOD who had greater vision blessed me and said this is just a curve child..
Sometimes in our lives we get disillusioned and become paranoid and things seem empty that is where faith holds you firm...The movie leaves one with a sense of having faith in whatever is good and beautiful around us....
There is a particular scene where Freeman says-Every man has his breaking point....But the story does not say that it is the end of road it is about having faith...To believe..To live lies within....Nice movie .
