Fear can hold you prisoner

Hope can set you free

Shawshank Redemption

*****Class film.

Watched it for the first time last night, and it was such a powerful film. It really moved me and I just loved it. When Andy isnt in that cell anymore, but during the time he has been there he has had this continual hope that one day he will be free. And that day comes! Even though he has to endure a lot of pain, suffering and sorrow, he doesnt give up on hope, but he really has this HOPE, a hope to live and to live life!

I didnt even notice the words that were written on the front cover of the DVD until my mum pointed them out to me, "fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free." It is sooooo great to see those words on written there, because it is true. Fear can hold you prisoner, it can hold you captive, BUT there is a real hope. This DVD doesnt illustrate a false hope - one that can just be created in films, like a fantasy, but actually there is a REAL hope that we can ALL have, and that is in Jesus Christ. And with this hope - there really does come freedom. Freedom is something that has definitely been on my mind recently.

A really good film, and a great watch! I definitely recommend it.
