I thought about this scene last night while I was watching A Prophet. This is Red's final appearence in front of the parole panel at Shawshank prison. After appearing twice in front of the board after being in prison for 20 and then 30 years, and each time making a case for his own release, Red finally realises the futility of the life he led that sent him to prison and tells the board that he no longer cares.
This is an interesting moment in a great film. The mantra of the film is that 'hope can set you free', yet in an odd way it is Red's realisation that there is no hope for himself that brings him to be released from prison.
Anyway, I could listen to Morgan Freeman deliver monologues all day long, so enjoy!
