"Shawshank Redemption" "American Beauty" and similar themes.
I love the theme in these movies. The Red character towards the end, and the Lester character, are too scared/or something personal holding them back, to live life the way they want to live it. Can anyone think of any other movies, with similar themes? I asked this question over on the IMDB, but everyone keeps naming off prison movies. I'm looking for movies, where the main character, is eat up with fear, or something personal holding them back, to do the things, they really, really want to do. And of course, they eventually get to do those things, in the movie.
