Shawshank
Today we watched the film Shawshank Redemption. Anita was a bit low so I thought it could give her a lift. I would recommend it to anyone in need of inspiration. It has some great spiritual message in the film particularly if like Anita you are trapped. The guy is trapped in prison for life yet inside you can see he is smiling, because he has faith. He doesn’t ever give up. Morgan Freeman says
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.”
Apparently people of all persuasions get something from the film, particularly Christians. I find this a bit odd because the evil warder is very much a bible basher! For me the spiritual side of the film comes out when the guy says
“Here’s were it makes the most sense. You need it so you don’t forget. Forget that there are places in the world that aren’t made out of stone. That there’s a - there’s a - there’s something inside that’s yours, that they can’t touch.”
