Recently I have watched Shawshank Redemption in reading the movies. This Film was by far
the most interesting movie we have watched yet. It all starts out when Andy
Dufrane comes to Shawshank. Red and a few of his prison buddies bet on which
new inmate would break first at the end of the first day. Red bet on Andy but
one of his buddies prison mouse broke first and he won. Andy finds out that Red
can get stuff for the inmates. He could get anything reasonable to have in
prison. Andy’s first words he spoke were asking red to get a rock hammer. It
was the size of a bible if not a little smaller. He used this to dig out a hole
in the wall behind a poster so he could escape. The warden heard about how he
was really good with number and he started doing the warden's taxes and soon
the whole prison staff's taxes. The warden has been getting money illegally for
a long time. At this time he and Red are like really good friends, almost close
enough to be two peas in a pod. The warden switches Andy’s job to the library
where he can help Brookes and also teach the inmates and help them get a degree
so they are not complete losers. One
day this new inmate arrives at Shawkshank. His name was Tommy and he was the
one who told Andy that he was in the same cell and this guy was talking
about it what happened to Andy. Andy then knows he got framed and told the
warden but the warden went haywire and put him in solitary confinement. The
warden also killed Tommy for saying anything. So later on in the movie Andy is
doing the warden’s stuff and the warden goes to the safe and Andy being the
smartest inmate alive, switches the books. He put the warden’s bible and bank
stuff in his belt and put his bible that had the rock hammer inside the safe.
The warden told him to shine his shoes and wash his clothes. What Andy did was
shine his shoes and put them on and put his old shoes in the warden’s box.
Nobody ever thought to look at his feet either. Andy soon escaped by crawling
through 500 yards of poop and pee. I do not think Andy was redeemed at all
because he was the one with the plan and he's the one that was escaping, he did
not change in the 20 years he was there. The only thing he did was take the wardens
money and call the cops on him. Now Red is the one that was redeemed.
While he was in prison he kept getting rejected for
parole. I think he did this because he thinks that since he was in prison
for so long he would not be able to make it in the real world. But after Andy
escaped Red saw the big picture I think and he missed Andy so much. Red then
put all his feelings into his last parole hearing and he got approved. He
promised Andy he would go to the oak tree and find out whatever is under the
volcanic rock. He did do that, and it was money so he could go see Andy and
help him with his dream and be a part of it. I think Red was redeemed because
he chose to get better and he chose a lot of things. He chose not to get a gun
and go back to prison. He chose to get Andy that hammer, he chose to protect
Andy. He has been rehabilitated and he got a second chance with his best friend
and he is pursuing good things. This movie does live up to its name, not only
is it suspenseful but it is a redeem movie. Red is not the only one who was
redeemed. You could argue that Tommy was redeemed to. Because Tommy was only in
there for two years for what he did but he redeemed himself because he told
Andy about the guy and how he was framed. But it back fired because the warden
sent Andy to solitary and Tommy agreed to help the warden help Andy with his case.
Tommy thinking this is how I will help to fix his mistake, but yet the warden
has him shot in cold blood. This movie is a good movie I recommend it to any
who like intense movies.
