Something Genuine: “The Philosophy of Hope & Despair”
In this program, we watched and discussed a selected TED* talk. TED talks follow a unique format. Speakers at TED events have a maximum of 18 minutes to share their messages, which are delivered in highly polished, succinct speeches. TED talks are delivered by people from all walks of life on a multitude of subjects. A great many of these talks are about the insights gained by ordinary people–insights gained through extraordinary experiences or based on their contemplation of the ordinary events of their lives. Either way, their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma, but experience.
The speaker was Kyle Robertson. The Ted Talk is called: The Philosophy of Hope & Despair.
This group was facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert.
11/22/2020 ~ Movie Discussion Group: Shawshank Redemption
Rev. George Maddox facilitated this month’s movie group.
The Shawshank Redemption is based on a novella by Stephen King. Tim Robbins plays Andy, a banker who is sent to prison for the murder of his wife and her lover. The judge who sentences him finds him “a particularly remorseless and icy man.” Andy’s cool reserve and aloofness is not accepted well by the other inmates at Shawshank maximum-security prison in Maine. He is raped by some angry men and given several long stretches in solitary confinement for his bad attitude.
Luckily, Andy is befriended by Red, played by Morgan Freeman, the prison fixer. He is awed by this young man’s quiet reserve and inward resolve to make the best of his bad situation. Andy’s accounting skills come in handy, and he begins doing the taxes for the guards and laundering money for the corrupt warden. This lands him the cushy job of librarian. Eventually, Andy wrangles money out of state officials to build the best prison library anywhere.
Writer and director Frank Darabont draws out strong and intense performances from Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins as soulmates who support each other while doing hard time. Red sees hope as a dangerous thing that can drive a man insane, but Andy believes it is fuel that keeps one going against all odds. Yet, they will both find that hope is not enough. Finally, trust is what will free them both. The Shawshank Redemption is a jubilant tribute to this essential quality of soul.
