The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American drama film. Frank Darabont directed and wrote this film. Tim Robbins plays the star role as "Andy", whom spent almost two decades in prison. Morgan Freeman played as the fellow inmate "Red". Andy is convicted of killing his wife and her lover and is going to jail for it. Throughout the whole movie you wonder if he really did commit the murders or not. Based on "circumstanical evidence" he is sentenced to two consecutive years in Shawshank Penitentiary. Andy later on down the road runs into Red. Red has connections outside the penitentiary. Andy first asked Red for a rock hammer so he can maintain his hobby of rock collecting. Andy than, helps all of the people in the penitentiary with their taxes on the count that he is a banker. After that Andy was given space to work on their financial matters under the pretense of maintaining the prison library alongside elderly inmate Brooks Hatlen (James Whitmore). Later, Andy uses his good will with the prison guards to expand the library.One donation he received from the library was the opera The Marriage of Figaro. Andy than plays that song over the loud speaker system in which shocked the whole penitentiary.
Both inmates went through struggles and hardships but in the end they are both released as free into the world. What is crazy is how Andy is serving a sentence in jail in which he didn't evn commit. But as he is in prison he than contributes to the penitentiary is a good and positive way. Andy was very patient and consistant and in the end it paid off in his benefit.The way Andy was serving others is the same acts in which Jesus contributed to the world. Jesus came into this world to help others lives with no fault. Between Jesus and Andy they both contributed in many positive ways in the world and society.
