"The Shawshank Redemption," with Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, Clancy Brown, and James Whitmore. Written and directed by Frank Darabont, based on the short novel "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption," by Stephen King. City Centre. "R" - Restricted; profanity, violence, mature content. Prisoners of Hope -- 'Shawshank Redemption' Melodramatic but RewardingBy Jeff ShannonWhen trustworthy colleagues told me they found "The Shawshank Redemption" either too long or vaguely disappointing, I must confess I was mystified. As the credits rolled after my first viewing, I was certain I'd seen one of the best movies of the year. After a second viewing (a rare luxury for reviewers these days), I understood my friends' complaints but my initial opinion held firm. It's true that Frank Darabont, making an otherwise remarkably assured directorial debut, could use a lesson in pacing and editorial economy, and from a detached perspective "The Shawshank Redemption" is likely to seem cleverly but deviously manipulative. It's by no means a perfect movie. But like "Field of Dreams," this movie about perseverance, ingenuity, and hope in the face of hopelessness held a greater personal significance - an emotional connection to a well-told story that transcended whatever niggling reservations I might have formed. Judging from the applause that followed both screenings I attended, there's clearly something to "The Shawshank Redemption" that many people will find, well . . . redeeming. It's in many ways a standard prison movie, beginning in 1947 when a New England banker named Andy (Tim Robbins) is wrongly convicted for the murder of his adulterous wife and her lover, and sentenced to two life terms in the Shawshank State Prison in Maine. There he meets Red (Morgan Freeman), another lifer who's "a regular Sears Roebuck," serving as Shawshank's primary supplier of smuggled goods and contraband. The corrupt, Bible-thumping warden (Bob Gunton) is a joylessly hissable villain straight out of the Snidely Whiplash school of melodrama, as is his vile and violent head guard, played with mule-headed brutality by the ever-effective Clancy Brown. Providing moral counter-balance are the prison's oldest inmate (a welcomed return for James Whitmore), and the close-knit members of Red's benevolent gang who, like Red, see in Andy a unique and optimistic spirit. Their admiration deepens when Andy earns rare privileges (by cooking the warden's books and filing the guards' tax returns) and mounts a successful campaign to build New England's finest prison library. But every privilege has a greater cost, and "The Shawshank Redemption" turns into a dark journey of the soul, with Andy cleverly and patiently awaiting his chance at freedom. To say that Robbins is too inexpressive is to miss the subtle, internalized grace of a finely calibrated performance. Like a sly bluffer who knows just when to tip his hand, Robbins portrays Andy as a man who can survive torture, threat, and psychological terrorism because he's matched his inward faith with an outward defense. The latter gives the movie its almost mythological payoff, delivered in tandem by the equally excellent Freeman, whose wise narration rises Andy's uplifting story to almost legendary status. Sharply adapted by Darabont from a novella by Stephen King, the film has been mounted with physical authenticity, but as a kind of adult fable it should not be confused with reality. There's a slightly artificial tidiness to the story, and it won't grab you if you aren't immediately hooked. But as it spans nearly two decades in the enduring friendship of Andy and Red, "The Shawshank Redemption" accumulates the kind of spiritual depth that comes from taking a path well chosen. The journey may not be a smooth one, but the destination is well worth the effort.

The Shawshank RedemptionA successful young banker Andy found his wife fornicate with a baseball coach. He flew into a fury and planned to shoot them dead at one night. But at last he gave up. His reason won his emotion. Surprisingly, his wife and her lover died at that night. Andy was framed for murder. And the sentence was two life imprisonments. He was sent into Shawshank prison. That was a dark and gloomy hell with mad prisoners, cruel warders and viperous and greedy wardenry. The first night Andy spent in it, a new comer like Andy couldn’t bear the fear and kept crying and shouting. The result was he was taken out and beaten dead by the warders. At that moment, Andy understood that if he want to live he must be silent in Shawshank. In Shawshank Andy knew an old prisoner Red. They gradually became friends. Red was able to get some small goods for the prisoners. So Andy asked for a little hammer because of his interest in geology. The life in Shawshank was full of danger. Andy, as a new prisoner, was often threatened and maltreated by some scoundrels because he always refused their unbearable and disgusting demand. In such a dark prison, no one could help him even if someone may want to. After tow years, one day, Andy, Red and some other prisoners got the chance to rebuild the roof. They heard the head of the warders complaining that he had to pay high tax to government if he wanted to receive his brother’s inheritance. Andy grabbed the opportunity and taught him a way to be exempt from taxation. The condition was to give each prisoner 3 bottles of ice beer. All the prisoners enjoyed the rare and short freedom leisurely. Red said,” It’s just like rebuilding the roof of our own house. We are free like God.” Another consequence was that from then on Andy got the protection from the head of the warders. And all the warders even the wardenry began to consult Andy for financial affairs. So some of his special behaviors were permitted, such as pasting posters of some famous actress on the wall or carving chessmen with his little hammer at as he was, Andy did more than a civilian. He kept writing one letter to the government every week to ask for bankroll to develop the library in Shawshank. After nearly ten years, a new library finally appeared. When checking the books from the government Andy found a piece of disc of The Wedding of Figaro. Then he played the disc in the radio room, letting the dulcet music spread above Shawshank. Although he was imprisoned alone for two weeks as penalty, he wasn’t regretful at all, because of the greatest thing in the world——music, which represents another best thing for human——hope. Later on, Andy knew a new prisoner Tommy, from whom Andy knew who was the real murderer that killed his wife. He immediately told the wardenry about this and naively thought the wardenry would help him leave there. But the wardenry didn’t do that. He killed Tommy. Andy had been laundering money for the wardenry for a long time. So it’s impossible for the wardenry to set Andy, as a tool and an attester for his crime, free. At this moment, everything seemed to be over. Both Andy and the audience should despair. But the climax of the movie appears. At a night with thunderstorm Andy escaped from Shawshank. Everyone including the wardenry and Red couldn’t believe it. The stone wall which Red asserted wouldn’t be dug through even with six hundred years was dug through by Andy in two decades. He kept digging with that little hammer at night, the sound of which was mistaken for the sound of carving chessmen. And the hole on the wall was covered by the huge poster of a famous actress. At that night, Andy crawled through the narrow tunnel to a drain-pipe and then smashed it with a stone under the cover of thunderclap. He was crawling while vomiting in the pipe which was as long as five football grounds by Red’s estimate. At length, Andy got out of the pipe into a little river outside the prison. He walked to the middle of the river and ripped his shirt, letting the rain wash all the filth away. Under the lightning and thunder, Andy spread out his arms, regaining freedom. When reading the postcard from Andy, Red sighed with feeling,” Some birds aren’t meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are just too bright.” Andy had said,” Life has only two choices——get busy living or get busy dying.” This is the most impressive word in this movie. It influenced a lot of people including me. Everyone is able to be busy living, but not everyone can do that all the time. That’s why a few people have brilliant life; many remain mediocre till the last minute of their life while some always struggle to get out of poverty. We complain that God is unfair. We just despair when we are in all-time low. We take hands-off attitude towards ourselves when others think we are failure, although we will weep in dreams. All of these have a same reason——we forgot that only ourselves can save ourselves. Holding hope forever especially in desperation and reminding myself to get busy living at any moment. That’s the most precious thing I got from this movie——The Shawshank Redemption
