Read a critic on this movie once that I agree with. The "redemption" isn't Andy's. Its Red's. At the beginning he had no hope. Hope is a dangerous thing he said; til his final words. " I hope the pacific is as blue as in my dreams. I hope" Brilliant film making.

At that time, I was diagnosed with rare and incurable blood cancer, and I happened to watch this movie again the same week. The line, "I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really Get busy living, or get busy dying." sums up my philosophy. I'm still busy living after all these years, and will never give up.

@oldbaldfatman27665 жыл бұрын
Dec. 24, 2018----No, little towns in America are not just a dream. Used to drive truck and for awhile, thru every state but Maine & Minnesota. Grandpa & Dad moved from New York state to Golconda, Illinois when Dad was a small kid and he's 92 this year. Was traveling thru Illinois when I realized I would be 20 miles or so from the interstate highway to Golconda....without hesitation, I went for it. Down a 2 lane state road and over 2 bridges marked narrow bridge and they were too.NO idea what I was going to find or even how to get back onto the interstate after (hopefully) getting to Golconda. Found a big open spot in front of the city courthouse where I parked 70 feet of truck and trailer. When I got out of the truck, a policeman was cruising by, so I waved out of habit and he waved back. Took a bunch of photos with me in some of them. When I emailed them to Dad, he couldn't believe it as he hadn't been home in at least 10 years. And of course, he wondered how the hell did I ever get out of town. All I had to do was make a couple of lefts in front of the city courthouse and back down that 2 lane state road and back on the interstate.The same day after leaving Golconda, able to stop in Metropolis, Illinois the home of Superman where I got more photos. Been to Tupelo, Mississippi the birth place of Elvis where I visited a massive car museum which sadly is now being sold. Bottom line: small towns still exist in America though the media would have you believe other wise.
