Daily Dialogue — July 14, 2019

“I find I’m so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.”

— The Shawshank Redemption (1994), screenplay by Frank Darabont, novella by Stephen King

Dialogue On Dialogue: As far as I’m concerned, hope is the central theme of the movie and it’s particularly poignant for Red as he begins in a place in which he claims, “Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.” Quite a character arc where he ends up uttering the movie’s last line: “I hope.”
