This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lol, I guess I should have expected that response. 🤦♀️
I ask because I feel like your characterisation of The Shawshank Redemption could equally apply to The Godfather (if you replace good guy with protagonist) and I think they are equivalently great films. It's just that one film is about how a normal (presumably innocent) man descends into evil and cruelty due to his circumstances and unfortunate events, the other is about a man who maintains his inner light despite his circumstances and unfortunate events. While you may or may not find one more compelling than the other, I think they are both equally special in their way.
