      @@nickb9436 Seriously. I'm not one for hero worship or whatever, but seeing stars grovel to an agenda really does ruin their films. I'll never be able to stomach Mathew McConaughey because he was on the news holding up a cloth mask and telling everyone "just put on the damn mask!" Ugh. He said something like "I know y'all aren't afraid of a little bit of cloth. Just do it." Hey, Matthew. It's not that we were quivering in fear over a bit of cloth. It's that we knew they didn't stop viral transmission and the fact that masking healthy people just doesn't make any sense!

    I was in the #CultOfCovid at the beginning, but something clicked in me one day. Let me explain. I was so scared, I refused to leave the house even when we were finally freed. (France). I would walk around with my big umbrella under my arm so it would stick straight out and force others to stay a mètre away. It was bad. I had spent the first 6 months of the pandemic on a small island, and we had Zéro cases. When I got back to France in August 2020, we were having many cases and whatnot. I was so scared. When my hubby told me one day that they don't wear masks at work, I was infuriated. We fought. Our relationship went to a real low. I didn't trust him. I have comorbidités and felt like he wanted me to get hurt. (Really went to my head). So stupid, and I'm sorry to hims.🙏🏻
    Then, one day in November 2020, I was at the fruit and veggie market. An outdoors one, and I was standing next to these women. I had my umbrella. And I just don't know what on earth happened, but I, in my head, I was like *WHAT THE FK AM I DOING HERE*?! I was treating normal humans like their very existence could kill me. Which is BS. I felt really disgusted about myself and started researching. I had a hard time because I didn't want to be related to the "conspiracy crowd" but I decided to keep pushing through.
    I was lucky. It was a month before the 1st jab started. I went on to participate in massive rallies to protest the covidinsanity. And here I am. Proof that you can come out of the indoctrination.
    Edit to add.
    Ps. My entire family disowned me. Off the will and everything because I refused to be jabbed. It's been so painful. Be strong guys.
    2nd edit.
    Adding that I was put in a covid prison for 2 weeks as my mum was dying. I live overseas. Then I 5 days before she died I had to fly back to France because they were mandating every single person to be jabbed to board a plane. I watched her die for 3 months and missed it by 5 days and her funeral. screw the pro c○\/!d freaks. I hate them. 😭

      So glad you decided to do that. They use Fear, Always Fear! If your gut/intuition is telling you "this seems like a massive push of fear" or something along those lines then there's more than a problem. The way that the Western world has Sophisticated that Fear response in the masses is something completely different than living in other countries where the physical fear is right in front of you or around you.
      As opposed to the fear that festers and takes control of thoughts and is perpetuated differently.

    Thank you very much mister Robbins. I'm a 30 y.o. Ukrainian that grew up on your movies. It may sound weird, but you're an authority figure in my life and in the life of my family. The last couple years were the worst years of my life. It's comforting to hear you say these things because not many other people that I used to look up to do. It felt like a betrayal and, at certain times over the last two years, made me question my own sanity. This video is better than any therapy session for me. Thank you.

    One of the men who gave us The Shawshank Redemption, the quintessential film on the hero's journey and the best movie ever according to the top 250 on IMDB, that is such an inspiration to persevere in the face of blatant brutal injustice to ultimately against all odds come out on top to countless, including me. That movie changed my life. And now speaking up in this way as one of the very few Hollywood 'stars' and having a prison program to liberate inmates. Big respect. Thank you, Tim.

It is very nice when someone who is financially supported by them puts some energy into helping a vulnerable population. But we must remember that Mr Robbins is living very comfortably as the priveledged elite of a corrupt and perverse industry that exploits vulnerable populations readily.

      The reason you don’t hear more people in the entertainment industry speak up is because that industry is a tool of control, if they speak against it they don’t get to play anymore. Most entertainers want the money and fame more than their own self respect - it’s a Faustian bargain. All of the Hollywood elite gave Will Smith a standing ovation less than an hour after he smacked Chris Rock. They did that because they are all cowards who know Smith has clout in Hollywood and Rock doesn’t. It is foolish to put clowns like that on a pedestal.

      Tim Robbins, of all people, being self-deprecating? I doubt it. This guy's been in the front of the left-righteousness pride parade forever. Seems more like lack of self-awareness than actual insight. Actors do better to sit down than to stand up. They generally have little of value to share. Unless you think breathing exercises free you from ideological prisons.

    I’m inspired to share as I read some of these comments. We’ve all have such different experiences during the pandemic. At the beginning, I smelled a rat, and my main fear was for two people in my life who were already struggling with their mental health, one being my father, who was in an assisted living facility, 5th floor. Lockdown came and for 5 months he was required to stay in his small room, a man who had battled schizophrenia for 40 plus years. One day he finally chose to end the suffering by jumping off his balcony. I often wonder how many stories like my dad’s. Crimes against humanity have been committed. I have worked through much grief and anger, still more to release, and writing this helps in that process. Please, let’s share our stories without fear of being labeled, criticized, shamed.

      The Shawshank Redemption is an excellent movie, yet there are scenes in it that may be too much for children, especially a child who is sensitive. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were amazing. Steven KIng is a horror writer, however his material on possible real life situations is where I believe he shines the most. The Green Mile is one good example, as well as Delores Claiborne. I could watch those movies several times.

    • @jonfreeman9682

      A true legend both Tim and Morgan Freeman and director Frank Darabont. Frankly it deserves best picture Oscar and movie goers didn't give it a chance back in the day. I remember seeing it in cinema 3 decades ago thinking this is a true masterpiece. It lost best picture Oscar to Forrest Gump which was a box office smash but I think Shawshank was the better movie. I think if they released it a year earlier it would still lose to Schindler's List. Just strong competition in those couple years. But it deserves more recognition.
