When a reporter once asked him what he wanted his movie to say to young people, he replied:

”I don’t want it to say anything to young people. I want it to say something to grownups, if it says anything. I want it to say, ’Listen to young people’.”

In losing Robert Redford, we lose not just a star, but a moral compass in an industry too often driven by ego.

Now, as we say goodbye, I think of Redford not only as a legend of the screen but as someone who showed us how to live through pain with grace.

He made us dream, he made us think, and he gave us reasons to believe in stories.

Hollywood will never see another like him.
