Marvin Miller’s “Red speech” from Shawshank redemption didn’t work
Well, another year, and another meeting from the parole board from Cooperstown, who decides who deserves to be enshrined. The potential parolees are listed, and talked about. Some of them are asked if they earned parole. One guy, Marvin Miller, has been so disillusioned by the parole board that he decides to tell them that he doesn’t care at all about what they think. You know, a sort of reverse psychology, though I’m not sure that Red (Morgan Freemen) really intended to dupe the parole board, but instead was simply taking control of his own life. The parole board however granted Red parole.
Looks like the HOF committee is even more heartless than a parole board that denies parole for a deserving model prisoner, emprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit.
Time to now quote the great and melodic words of Cee Lo Green…
