What "can set you free" according to this tagline for the 1994 film, Shawshank Redemption?
Correct answer: Hope

Stephen King lives in Florida in the winter. Once, at the grocery store, an older lady came up and asked, "Aren't you that horror writer, King?"
"Yes, I'm guilty," Steve replied.
"Why do you write such awful stuff? Why don't you write something uplifting. Like that Shawshank Redemption story?" she asked.
"Actually, I did write that," He answered.
"Oh, you did not!"
All SK could do was laugh.
True story.

Probably Tim Robbin's best performance, and one of Morgan Freeman's best as well. One of my top 10 films ever!

Player #913201, Random Fact: The same Director of The Shawshank Redemption, also directed The Green Mile. His name is Frank Darabont. That is also a Steven King movie.

Allowing the inmates to hear the angelic voices over the speaker system was his gift of hope to the hopeless. This scene gives me chills and tears just writing about it.

Franklin meant that hope alone won't get you anywhere; you have to provide some action.

Mars V, "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" is one of Stephen King's finest works. I loved it for years and was worried what the movie would be like, but it turned out great.

Hope is the last word of the novella and the movie. Both are excellent.

if you can't figure out what Franklin said, you haven't much hope.

There is a reason it is #1 on the top 250 movies of ImdB. It speaks to everyone that watches it. Another quote about hope I like: “Every kind thought is the hope of the world.” (William Peter Blatty in his book The Ninth Configuration)
