- 10. At last after 20 years , the redemption:
- 11. The Shawshank redeption book vs movie In the book in the movie Tommy Williams is moved to a different prison after andy tells the warden that he has information that might free him. Tommy is shot and killed by hadely under the pretense that he was trying to escape Red is a white Irish man He is black ,but jokes that he is Irish There are three different wardens There is only one The warden resgins after Andys escape The warden shoots himself in the head in his office after his corruption because of Andy
- 12. DEFINING MOMENT ? 1. “Rehabilitated?” ? This was a recurring plot device to show both the changes that Red (Morgan Freeman) underwent in his decades in prison and the passage of time. This occurs at the very end of the film when a weary Red is dragged one more time in front of the parole board and with withering weariness delivers one of the best monologues Freeman’s ever gotten
- 13. DEFINING MOMENT ? 2. “Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying” ? Probably the most memorable line from the film come in a conversation about dreams, anger, imprisonment, freedom and choosing how much we let anger master us against the balance of our dreams; something that imprisons more than enough people in the world walking free.
- 14. DEFINING MOMENT ? 3. “Andy’s Escape” ? I wish I could show the entirety of Andy’s escape and how brilliantly thought out it was, but it’s all about the horrifying, visceral journey he takes through offfal, emerging to be reborn in the rain in one of cinema’s most hope-filled shots.
- 15. Defining moment: ? 4. “Rooftop” ? Everything in Andy and Red’s world is so abnormally awful that this scene where they volunteer for a work detail and Andy works a deal with the guards for beers for his guys that watching these prisoners relax in peace after working like dogs all day is fantastically peaceful. Andy didn’t even want a beer. He just wanted to see normal people doing a normal thing for once in his imprisoned life. Brilliant scene.
- 16. OPINION ? Starting off, I feel I have a very deep connection with the movie. This is one of those movies where I was too stupid to realize awesomeness with my first watch, but slowly, the realization arrived..... ? TODAY : Three years have passed, and my count today stands at 67, that is how many times I have watched it. ? Must Watch Movie! Total justice to the IMDB No. 1 stature. I will try and give out a review edging on the personal side. ? 3 years back: The first time I tried watching it, I slept midway, same story the second time. The third time I coerced myself into going the whole way and I successfully did that.
- 17. CONCLUSION ? Conclusion In the movie Shawshank Redemption, psychological issues are evident and are portrayed through different characters that are dealing with their individual desire for hope and freedom each having a different “outlook on life.” As the main character, Andy Dufresne has a goal of finding his own identity, which is “an individual’s self-concept derived from perceived membership in a relevantsocial group,” within the prison of Shawshank by taking on different responsibilities and roles. Becoming a prison librarian, a financial advisor, and an educator, Andy begins to cope with the hardships of prison of life
