Get busy living or get busy dying..after a house fire those words mean a lot more

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2015)

I'm not an English major so take this as it goes -
I'm gonna try and make this quick. My favorite movie of all time is T2 and Jaws...but this film...man if I had to pick one...JUST ONE...this would be it. Sure its based off a book but goddamn is it amazing. The acting, the set design, the cinematography...EVERYTHING...literally...NOTHING is wrong with this film. The Score, the story, the pace...EVERYTHING. After my house fire I had two years ago I felt like Andy...everything taken away from him...nothing but himself and what was inside (a reference to him and Mozart remember?) ....as time went on I learned that its not the physical items in your life but what you have inside. Even though I had seen the film more times than most...a few days after the fire...and a few days of drinking and self pity(rightfully so) I was inside my hotel room and said screw it and watched the flick. Get busy livin...or get busy dying......THATS GOD DAMN RIGHT! I owe a lot to this film both before and especially after the fire. If you don't think of it as AT LEAST one of the top 5 movies of all time...you better have one good damn reason. R Smith Cape Cod, MA wink emoticon
