Shawshank Turns 20

Anyway, the movie is 20 years old.  Today.

I wrote a term paper back in college about Shawshank for a movie class I took at EIU with Professor Paul Bodine.  I sure wish that I could get my hands on that paper, so I could take another read thru the in-depth look at the plot, character, and theme that I studied.

2 of the best lines from the movie that are great reminders for me in my walk thru life:

If you've not seen The Shawshank Redemption, I would strongly encourage you to.  It's a little rough in places, and has some strong language, but the messages are intense.
