Shawshank tree falls - CNN.com

There's a big hayfield up near Buxton...One in particular. It's got a long rock wall, a big oak tree at the north end. It's like something out of a Robert Frost poem. It's where I asked my wife to marry me. We went there for a picnic and made love under that oak and I asked and she said yes. Promise me, Red. If you ever get out, find that spot. In the base of that wall, you'll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine hayfield. A piece of black, volcanic glass. There's something buried under it I want you to have.

Great movie...one of the all-time best.

Could the tree falling be a sign from God, that leftism is destroying the world?
 
My son and I watched Clint Eastwood in "Escape from Alcatraz" the other day.

I couldn't believe how much in that movie was similar.

Stephen King must be a intellectual pirate. :badgrin:

Shawshank was a much better movie.
The title of "Escape from Alcatraz" kind of tipped off what was going to happen. In Shawshank it came as a surprise

Yeah, because if they had titled it anything else, the audience wouldn't have a clue what was going to happen, since, well, it's based on a true story.

One of the greatest movies of all times...from one of the greatest U.S. authors of all times...

May the good old oak tree, rest in peace! :(

Stephen Kings best work was in movies that did not go too deep into the supernatural

Shawshank, Stand by me and Green Mile
