TSR

I seldom stay up late at night to purposely watch movies. But I did exactly last night. It was by chance I had to pass the living room for the kitchen, and there staring at the tv or should I say, the tv staring back, was hubby,  sprawling on the couch half-asleep and became slightly clueless when I stood directly in front and softly shouted, "Oh dear, it's Tim Robbins...it's Morgan Freeman...it's Shawshank Redemption!"  I forgot my quest to the kitchen for some milk, actually, but pushed hubby aside and sat through the movie like I was watching it for the first time. :-)


Well...if you had noticed, I stated in my profile here about The Shawshank Redemption (TSR) as my favourite movie. I even re-quoted - 'some birds are not meant to be caged', as one of my favourite quotes ever...
I have watched TSR a few times and I think after watching  a lot of movies, this one is rare; and it has practically grown in me like forever. Like the friendship it tells. It is the friendship actually that always strike a chord with our lives...something that I always treasure....that I would want to watch it again and again and again.  
Oh dear, what is this thing trickling down my face...

Okay...no more late nights, I hope...hehehehe...but then again, like Red ( Morgan Freeman) in TSR said, "Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."   :-D

Most of all, this one narrative is my all-time companion when the sentimentality in me sets in (hiks!)....
"Sometimes it makes me sad, though...Andy being gone. I have to remind myself  that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is much more drab and empty that they're gone. I GUESS I JUST MISS MY FRIEND." - Red (and sometimes emily repeats this too!)

Oh, gotta go now...TSR is showing again at 2pm...hehe...I didn't get to catch the beginning last night!
