Shawshank Redemption

The film Shawshank Redemption was a film written by Stephen King and it was directed by Frank Darabont and produced by Niki Marvin. It was released in the fall of 1994 starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.
The film appealed and caught the eye. Shawhank is a film in which it unravels itself as it progresses. It never carried a dull moment. It is all inclusively entertaining and produced a great plot. The movie had a sense of mystery to it. It produced frequent questions and to do. The film is being narrated which appeals to the audience.
This film has various meanings and interpretations. Some may view and recall the justice that Andy was entitled too, or also karma which circled back to the guards that hurt Andy. However, through all the different meanings, I believe that hope is the main idea.
The film is largely and almost entirely centerally focused on a prison compound. It follows the lives of Andy Dufresne and Boyd "Red" Redding and a few other companions. The lifestyle is those of convincted inmates. It carries through the course of a 20 year incarceration. Life as a convict in the 1950's, innocent and detained against your will. Values presented were those of an innocent man relying an only hope. Persistance and friendship are examples shown throughout.
I believe that the film Shawshank Redemption portrays a great deal of the idea of hope. A belief so strong that prevails all throughout the film. Andy Dufresne had a constant belief of self-justice and hope. His character had a sense of determination and ease. He brought a contagious aura of belief and a new meaning of life. Hope was the central meaning of the film
I believe that the film clearly portrays Andys innocence. In the film Andy is falsely accused and prosectued. He had to endure punishment for the sins of other just as Jesus died for ours. There is much symbolism throughout the film. In the very tittle, Redemption, clearly demonstrates how Andy is redeemed in the end by gaining his freedom and condemening the officers who did wrong upon them. Redemption means deliverance; rescue, and after enduring everything that was thrust upon him he was able to break free.
