The Shawshank Redemption 1994.multi.1080p.blu-r... «1080p × 480p»

Andy’s "redemption" is not just his physical escape from the prison, but his refusal to let the prison escape into him. He uses music, literature, and even tax law to maintain his humanity and provide a sense of worth to his fellow inmates. His famous ultimatum—"Get busy living, or get busy dying"—serves as the film’s thesis. It posits that hope is a dangerous thing inside prison walls, but it is also the only thing that can truly set a person free.
