I really liked the reference to Andy’s solitary confinement in Shawshank and its precursor Tatiana Gnedich’s Russian confinement. I have seen the movie several times but I paid more attention to the act of defiance by playing the music. Somehow, the chow hall scene escaped me. Thanks. I will pay more attention to it on my next viewing.

Now they both remind me of the ending scene in the movie Fahrenheit 451 with the memorizers walking around speaking their books. As long as we remember, truth cannot be expunged.
