I could listen for hours. Hes just so enlightened and doesnt blame diversity or racism on outcomes. Very realistic, reasonable, and good-hearted.

Shawshank Redemption is an unbelievably incredible movie. It is my favorite of all time.

I agree it's one of my favorites and deserves to be considered high on the food chain for memorable movies, but there's just so many great movies in and out of America.

[@mikebears26]

Many movies of this great man, but if there’s one movie that really stands out as a leading role that brings out his greatness has to be lean on me.

An incredible actor! I always wait to see him in his next movie. His acting, voice, are just so good and he knows it. There's none better at what he does. He allows you to believe in his character as he draws you in with his superb reading of his lines. You'd think it was his own words. He's good at whatever he does. Very versatile. Always calm but very serious in his roles. I hope he's with us for a long time. Good work Morgan Freeman.

[@GustavoValdiviesso]

Always amazing!

[@zeldasmith6154]

This was really good. They didn't miss a beat. It was like a friendly tennis game.

[@stephengiese7753]

Morgan has the voice. Perfect for acting and narrating. Shawshank was the first I saw him. I wish the writers had let the two main characters had some dialogue at the end when they meet when they were free on the beach in mexico. One can only imagine. I have many times. Thanks Morgan.

[@mathbrown9099]

Not to detract, but in a movie with such strong characters sometimes leaving things to the imagination is a good way to end things. Tying things up in neat little boxes is, sorrowfully, too often the way of things today. Imagination is such a wonderful muscle to exercise today. I enjoyed your comment, please do not take this as criticism.

[@SleepingintheTrenches]

I love how the caption says his love of marijuana and it was a question he blew off literally second left into the interview lol

[@nattanunsangkasaba8991]

To learn to be interviewer, Larry King is the figure that all new podcast should examine the way he control and let the guess to reveal the intimate answer. I watched him from late 80’ CNN Larry King live till now. Although he was a little more intimidating than now, the structure of his approach for interviews still is still work. In simple term, he answer questions that I want to hear and let the voice of the guess’s message speak themselves. Remember this is time constricted format in term of time! You need skill articulate interviewer like him! I wish I can watched classic memory interview during his CNN Larry Live period.

A national treasure in which all men should follow his ways. Mr. Morgan is honest, doesn't let ego get in his way. I believe he is a God fearing man also.

[@rangitsengupta3025]

When the man said I don't get enough scripts coming on my way , that I was the greatest pain for me to hear,if I had the capability I would write ,direct , and produce an entire film with this man as the sole character, Hollywood has not utilized enough of him yet, he deserves a great movie as a Protagonist

[@SiggiAriOlafsson]

I need your help

[@rmrm1002]

A very intelligent, in touch with reality, truthful man! All Missing in today’s Society! I’m sure the powers that be could not stand him. The only part Morgan confuses me is when he refers to Obama the way he does... Who knows maybe his thoughts changed over time?? I would think that he would be able to see through the smoke n mirrors, But then again if you have a friendship things are seen different. Obama wrote and spoke with a lot of forked tongue in office, But then again he’s answering to someone else much much more powerful than him so maybe these books are there moment in time to actually be down to earth and real about their true feelings, desires,and hopes... which he and many other presidential have no control over now. Who knows............
