[quote=Anonymous]On a different note, there are many who recall the memorable aria in the Shawshank Redemption when Andy locked himself in the library and played it on the loudspeaker system in the prison.

Red - played by Morgan Freeman - said about the recording that was played:  
[i]
"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free."[/i]

The aria is from Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro". It has nothing to do with freedom even though Red was speaking figuratively. It was certainly one of those moments in that movie that one does not forget.[/quote]
