Movie Mela

Some time I used to watch movies continuously, last week that list exceeded more than sixteen movies which comprised Telugu, Hindi, English and Tamil. I have seen Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Usual Suspects, Bourne Identity, The whole nine yards, Matrix Revolution, Athadu, Arjun, Pokri, Bunty Aur Bubly….etc.

Nature of Prison (Torture, Corruption, Gangs…..) is also common in all over world like music. I don’t know how many times I have seen shawshank Redemption including this time

Just I like to share the feeling of RED in Shawshank .

AN IRON-BARRED DOOR 274

slides open with an enormous CLANG. A stark room beyond.
CAMERA PUSHES through. SIX MEN AND ONE WOMAN sit at a long table
An empty chair faces them. We are again in:

INT -- SHAWSHANK HEARINGS ROOM -- DAY (1967)

Red enters, sits. 20 years older than when we first saw him.

MAN #1
Your file says you've served forty
years of a life sentence. You feel
you've been rehabilitated
Red doesn't answer. Just stares off. Seconds tick by.
The parole board exchanges glances. Somebody clears his throat

MAN #1
Shall I repeat the question?
RED
I heard you. Rehabilitated.
Let's see now. You know, come to think of it,
I have no idea what that means.
MAN #2
Well, it means you're ready to rejoin society as a--
RED
I know what you think it means.
Me, I think it's a made-up word, a politician's word.
A word so young fellas like you can wear a suit and tie and have a job.
What do you really want to know?
Am I sorry for what I did?
MAN g2
Well...are you?
RED
Not a day goes by I don't feel regret, and not because
I'm in here or because you think I should.
I look back on myself the way I was...stupid kid who did that terrible crime...
wish I could talk sense to him.
Tell him how things are. But I can't.
That kid's long gone, this old man is all that's left, and I have to live with that.
(beat)
Rehabilitated? That's a bullshit word,
so you just go on ahead and stamp that form there, sonny, and
stop wasting my damn time. Truth is, I don't give a shit
The parole board just stares. Red sits drumming his fingers.
CLOSEUP -- PAROLE FORM
A big rubber stamp SLAMS down -- and lifts away to reveal the word "APPROVED" in red ink.
