The Shawshank Redemption Review
The Shawshank Redemption is a movie about how a man, Andy, played my Tim Robins, deals with being in prison. It is told through the eyes of fellow convict Red, played by Morgan Freeman. Freeman has an excellent voice for narrating. Andy Dufresne is wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to prison. While in prison he helps others to give his life purpose. The theme is about dealing with life no matter what comes your way. Andy deals with being lock up by helping his fellow inmates. Andy coping summed up best with the character Tommy. Andy helps Tommy pass the high school equivalency test. Helping others aids Andy in passing the time. Another example of this can is when Brooks, played by James Whitmore tries to cope with life outside prison. He does not learn how to deal outside the jail and commits suicide. Red says it's institutionalized; that after so long you know of no other way to live. Every man has his breaking point. Andy found his and escaped. It is an excellent movie, well written good acting and filming. The actors interact with each other exceedingly well. Making the audience feel as if the group has been together for a long time.
