I have seen the movie twice. Every time I saw it I was encouraged
by the chief actor Andy Dufresne' thoughts, behavior, belief in life.
The movie is about a banker named Andy Duframe (Tim Robbins) who is
wrongly accused of a double homicide he didn't commit. At last he was
sent to Shawshank Prison for life time. In prison there is a man named
Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman) who has an ability to deliver
almost any types of contraband (except, on his own principles, hard
drugs and weapons) into Shawshank Prison.
So this makes him a very important man in Shawshank Prison's social structure. And it is also the reason why he first became acquainted with Andy. Andy also befriends Red. One day he asked Red for a rock hammer and later he asked a poster. And Andy also befriends prison guards by giving them financial advice. He does it because he has a great plan in his heart. Gradually the warden (Bob Gunton) became interested in him. And he let Andy help him do shady financial scams. One day Andy heard from another prisoner, Tommy (Gil Bellows), whose former cellmate had bragged about killing a rich golfer and some hot-shot banker's wife and the banker getting jailed for it.
This is clearly the real killer of Andy's wife. And Andy tells the warden he is innocent. But the warden refuses him and tells Andy to ignore the story. The Warden then makes Tommy killed. Andy does not want to help the warden with his scam anymore. And one morning Andy is gone. The prison guards search his cell and find he dug out of the wall an escaping way with the hammer and hid the hole with the poster. Andy then takes the money accumulated from the scam (a banker's salary for 20 years) and leaves the town. The police attempt to arrest the warden who commits suicide. Red passes his parol board and reunites with Andy in a Pacific Mexican Town at last.
The theme of this movie is about hope and the power of friendship. We all need hope and also friends in our lives. Maybe there are these two things encouraging us moving forward. There sentences said by Andy impressed me much. The first one is: You know some birds are not meant to be caged; their feathers are just too bright. The second is: There is something inside, that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.
The third is: Hope is a good thing and maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies. I want to say I really like these sentences. They make me think positively and give me lots of courage and make me full of hope. I hope everyone can see the movie and I'm sure you will be driven to live positively and hopefully as Andy lives.
