I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
Andy's letter:
Hope is a good thing maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.

- 監獄裏的高牆實在是很有趣。剛入獄的時候，你痛恨周圍的高牆；慢慢地，你習慣了生活在其中；最終你會發現自己不得不依靠它而生存。這就是體制化。
- 原文：These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.
- 我發現自己是如此的激動，以至於不能靜靜地坐下來思考。我想只有那些重獲自由即將踏上新征程的人們才能感受到這種即將揭開未來神秘面紗的激動心情。我希望跨越千山萬水握住朋友的手，我希望太平洋的海水如同夢中的一樣藍：我希望……
- 原文：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.
本片之導演 Frank Darabont, 曾執導過, 數部由驚慄大師 Stephen King 小說改編的電影, 例如有"The Green Mile" (綠里奇跡) 與及 "The Mist" (霧地異煞), 但筆者卻認為, "The Shawshank Redemption" 實乃他的畢生代表之作!
