Page 10: Shawshank Redemption - movie review

• After some years of passiveness, one day, Andy was found missing in his cell.

• The Warden and the other inmates including Red were astonished to find out that Andy used the rock hammer and polishing cloths every night for nearly twenty years to carve through the wall.

• After some years Red was also released from the prison but after coming out, he feels “institutionalized

• The film ends with a beautiful description of the word “HOPE”.

• Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne.• Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, Andy's best friend and the

film's narrator; convict responsible for smuggling things inside the prison for the inmates.

• Bob Guton as Warden Samuel Norton. He is well versed in the Bible and presents himself as a pious, devout Christian and reform-minded administrator, while his actions reveal him to be corrupt, ruthless, and remorseless.

• William Sadler as Heywood, a member of Red's gang of long-serving convicts.• Clancy Brown as Capt. Byron Hadley, chief of the guards. • Gill Bellows as Tommy Williams, a young convict whose experiences in a

previous prison hold the truth about Andy's innocence.• Mark Rolston as Bogs Diamond, the head of "The Sisters" gang and a prison

rapist.• James Whitmore as Brooks Hatlen. Convicted prison librarian/trustee and one

of the oldest convicts at Shawshank, having been in prison since 1905.

CHARACTERS

Page 13: Shawshank Redemption - movie review

• Shot inside USAMansfield Reformatory as The Shawshank state prison

• Beautifully composed sound tracks

• Oscars nomination for the category best sound and best cinematography.

PRESENTATION

Page 14: Shawshank Redemption - movie review

• Connecting with the audience.

• Nice film based on Stephen King’s novella “Rita

Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption”

• The scene where all the inmates are shown without any

clothes does absolutely nothing to support the film.

• Guards never happen to touch the Rita Hayworth poster.

• Critics argue that the role of Andy could have been

better performed by actors like Leo Dicaprio or Jhonny

Depp.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Page 15: Shawshank Redemption - movie review

PART 3

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

“”

Page 16: Shawshank Redemption - movie review

• The beautifully written novella has been magically converted into a movie that succeeds to touch everyone’s heart.

• A good movie for someone who enjoys the smoothly flowing excellent script and beautifully written dialogues.

CONCLUSION

Page 17: Shawshank Redemption - movie review

• The only aspect in the movie where we can imagine any improvements being made is the part where the inmates were shown without clothes.

• As the part doesn’t contribute to the betterment of the film whatsoever, removing that scene would make the film more appropriate for all age groups.

• The role of Andy Dufrense is more suited for actors like Jhonny Depp or Leo Dicaprio.
