Red finds himself in the same mood and situation as Brooks.
He feels afraid and nervous because he does not know any other system than the
prison. He wants to break his parole just so he can go back to the only thing
he knows. Red thinks back on his words to Andy, “I’m institutionalized now,
just like Brooks was.” He can’t break his routine of asking the manager to
‘take a piss’ and can’t shake his negative thoughts about this new world. Red
is dressed in his suit and cracks open his pocketknife. Climbing onto the
chair, then onto the small table. Now carved into the wall, next to Brooks
farewell, read the words “So was Red.” Red takes the same fate as Brooks and we
look to the backside of his lifeless silhouette. The movie takes a flash-forward
of about ten years. We see Andy driving his convertible and a focused sense on
his face. He is driving along among endless hay fields. This must have been the
place he told Red to go. Andy gets out of the car, crosses a small creek and is
headed towards the giant oak he described. As we recall Andy’s unfailing hope,
we see that he hopes for Red to have made it to this place or even here at this
same moment. The rocks haven’t been moved and we all find the black volcanic
glass one that we hope to know what has been its importance. Andy uncovers what
has been buried what was obviously intended for Red. The box never opens and
the camera zooms out on Andy sitting still with disappointment streaming down
his face.

SAGAs Again
The
year is 1918, and
with winter on the way the sound of a typewriter, passed down over centuries, clicks away in
a cliché Bronx apartment. With every word she is creating, time is of the
essence for the
perfect fictitious character of the Nuyugonan tribe that journeys south. Liam was tall
with brown eyes, a classy black suit, and a side grin… pushing south may
be their only option. Despite the horror stories a knock on the door makes her get up.
“You typed?” said Liam. They learn hard truths about themselves, and what it means to
be alive.

Peace It Together
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBHCJbHEKsA
I was trying to evoke a sense of relaxation and peace with a constant visual of natural landscapes that I would choose to look at if I were stressed and a musical number from Paul Cardall that really puts me at ease when I try to unwind from a long day or week. I think that although the audio was optional, I find audio to be the most important part because once I have looked at these wonderful flowers and landscapes, I tend to close to my eyes and just listen to magic of the song.
