Still wondering! It's been past 2 weeks of watching this movie and I am still wondering, collecting scenes, dialogues of this movie. This is how this movie is going to impact you.
Gun in your hand, all evidence point you and you are declared a murderer but within you know you have not actually committed it. Law see evidence and you, Andy is behind bars of Shawshank, a prison. Your all freedom is within the bars now. An intelligent banker, Andy goes through all trouble in Shawshank. But you are unusual, you will think on how you can be free again, whereas your other mates think of living or dying in prison. A good man Andy the convicted starts his journey in jail, writing to government for fund to improve library in jail. Brings a different transformation in jail by educating uneducated. Tiredlessly writing to US Govt for more fund, impressing the warden of jail by filing tax return, advising on taxation, expenses and even children education. Helps the jail Warden and Jailor make millions by creating a false person with id in case FBI or other interrogates the money stuff. There he meets his friend Red. Red is a changed man now in jail but still get rejected by the jail authority due to political reasons. New prisoner keep coming to jail. Andy spent 19 years. One night Andy, the banker comes to know from a young prisoner that another man actually murdered his wife for whom he is on life imprisonment. Andy, the banker earlier now a prisoner appeals to Warden of jail for a trial. Warden is a corrupted person who made millions due to Andy who advised him on taxation to all money related stuff inside jail. Warden murders the young boy in fear for that the young boy will tell the truth that Andy is innocent and Andy would get freed. Warden locks Andy in a small cage as punishment. After 2 months almost living in small cage inside the jail, Andy decides whether to live life or die life in jail. That night was a dark one. It was storm and Andy got rope. Red had doubt whether Andy would suicide. The next day Warden and Jailor all together were greatly surprised to find no one in Andy's cell. How did he run from the jail? He used that imaginary person name outside whom he created while filing taxation of the jail. Andy transferred money to that imaginary person account and became that person in real after escape from Shawshank jail. Warden could not save himself since the papers were taken by Andy before his escape from Shawshank. Warden could not hide his corruption and shoot himself when caught by American police. Red later got released because he suffered what he did by spending, learning discipline in jail for about 30 years. You spend 30 to 40 years and come out of prison you find the world has changed. Some prisoners even commit suicide who later cannot take up to busy world outside. Andy tells Red if he would be freed someday he must visit a place where Andy and his wife made love. Those were Andy's best times with his love. Red travels to Texas in search of that village a place near Oak tree, finds cash money and tickets. Then Red travels to the place Andy mentioned he would be if he is free from jail .... somewhere in Mexico. Red remember the place name and finally travels to find Andy with the new name and identity looking after boats in an island.
