Daily Dialogue — December 5, 2013

“I have trouble sleepin’ at night. I have bad dreams like I’m fallin’. Wake up, scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am… I don’t like it here. I’m tired of bein’ afraid all the time. I’ve decided not to stay.”

The Shawshank Redemption (1994), screenplay by Frank Darabont, short story by Stephen King

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is Fear.

Trivia: Frank Darabont took a pay cut in order to be allowed to shoot his own script.

Dialogue On Dialogue: One of the all-time great subplots with Brooks functioning as a dark Mentor, carving one potential path for Red. The other one forged by a promise Red made to Andy. In the end, hope wins out over fear.
