After I watched the trailer of Shawshank Redemption I thought it would be a film about just crime and violence but I was wrong. Theres more in the movie than just violence. Wrote by Stephen King, directed by Frank Darabont and was also the screenplay writer, nomited for seven Oscars and had 9.2 out of 10 user rating, this movie can get any better based from the productions. Andy a banker who commited double murdered for killing his wife and another man which led him to Shawshank prison. In the prison he witnessed the cruelty to live in that environment. In there he made friends with Red, an African American prisoner who accompanied him throughout the years in prisonment. Watching the prisoners get brutally violated by the abuse warden and other officers, I felt pity and sorry for what they have to go through instead of thinking what they should be punished for. Especially Andy who was treated horribly in prison for so many years. Even though they were treated unfair by the officers, I think that the prison they live in is kind of lenient back than compare to the prisons today. One thing that caught my attention was when Andy explained about having hopes in everything. I just cant believed that after all that he went through from brutally treated in prison that he would still have hope in everything he do. I admire his patience for the years he spent in prison, intelligence to know how to work things out by plotting his escape and for still having that hope to not give up on life. God made individuals with different characters and roles in life such as Red who continue to support his friend Andy and Andy in return never loses hope for both of them that they will be freedman and revealed the corruption what is happening in Shawshank prison. Also God created this hope for everybody to not give up on anything. I liked the part when Andy wrote a letter to Red about not giving up and if he came that far the he should go even farther and continue his journey. I believed that God always put a happy ending in everyone’s life, whether a person was in prison or not, He puts hope in everyone to succeed.
