The quote: "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." is from the movie, The Shawshank Redemption (1985). Here, it is the specific story of a banker convicted of a double homicide, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins). He maintains his innocence and finds a way of surviving 19 years of harsh prison life. During this period of time, he creates an unlikely bond with fellow convict Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman). They are able to survive with hope.

Overall, Shawshank's message is about the enduring power of hope and friendship. It should be safe to say that tough times happen to everyone. No matter how strong, powerful, or confident tough times will come. Bad times often viciously force their might and cause us for the most part to crumble. We may feel good one day; then the very next day, we may feel lost or scared. So the hardest part of tough times is not to lose hope. In the film, The Shawshank Redemption, it directly shows us how not to lose hope in very tough (bad) times.
