The Shawshank Redemption was directed by Frank Darabont and co-written by Stephan King. This movie uses suspense to attract the viewer’s attention. It is cunning and picks at the mind. Certain individuals might view this movie as an evocation of the evils of the prison system in America. They might center too intently on the cruelty of prison life and not on the underlying story of personal redemption and exoneration. Other individuals might view the movie as merely another mundane prison break movie. be Whatever the case, the Shawshank Redemption grapples with more relevant issues; issues such as nuances in the human character and the inherent prevalence of human resolve against such imposing, sadistic and overbearing adversities. The lifestyles and values that are being portrayed in the movie are as varied as they are complex. For example, homosexuality is manifest and vice within the prison is rampant. Even still, in the Shawshank Redemption, there are characters that, throughout it all, serve as a moral backbone; showing that even in the in crux of debauchery, virtue and hope can persist. This message is being sent to advocate a sense of self-awareness. That one can have inner redemption and not be limited to self-condemnation. This film shows that before God forgives us, we must forgive ourselves.
