(Spanish ver. at the bottom.)> “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.”-Red (played by Morgan Freeman). This line is as alluring as the movie it’s from. The movie in question, The Shawshank Redemption, is my father’s favorite movie, and he doesn’t even care for film. In fact, there have been countless times where I would be so invested in a movie only to see his chair is empty or he’s snoring, sleep more interesting than movie night. I remember when I was younger I’d ask him if there was any movie out there that he like, and he’d say The Shawshank Redemption. I remember seeing the movie cover and thinking, what, why?
