The Shawshank Redemption

The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont. The first time I heard the name of the film, I considered the Shawshank to be a man’ s name, but in fact it is a jail.

In 1947, a successful banker named Andrew Andy Dufresne found his wife fornicate with a baseball coach. He flew into a fury and planned to shoot them died at one night. But at last he gave up.Unfortunately, his wife and her lover died on that night so Andy was framed for murder. He is sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at Shawshank, run by Warden Samuel Norton. Andy was quickly befriended with Red.Red was also a prisoner who was able to get some small goods for the prisoners. So Andy asked him for a little hammer because he was interested in geology. He later asks Red for a full-size poster of Rita Hayworth for his wall, replacing them over the years.

During manual labor, Andy overhears Captain of the Guards Byron Hadley complain about having to pay taxes on a forthcoming inheritance. Andy grabbed the opportunity and taught him a way to be exempt from taxation. Hadley accepts Andy's advice and rewards him and his friends with a brief respite and beer. Andy's accountancy expertise is soon sought by other guards at Shawshank as well as nearby prisons, and Andy is given a space to work on their financial matters under the pretense of maintaining the prison library alongside elderly inmate Brooks Hatlen . Every week Andy kept writing one letter to the government to ask for a bankroll to develop the library in Shawshank. After nearly ten years, a new library finally appeared. Unexpectedly,Andy found a disc in the library and played it.So people in Shawshank could heard it. Because of this,Andy was imprisoned alone for two weeks as penalty.However,Andy didn’t felt depressed because of the greatest thing in the world—music.With music,Andy saw a calamity and received boost. Later on, Andy knew a new prisoner called Tommy.Because of Tommy, Andy knew who was the real murderer that killed his wife. Andy immediately told the wardenry about this and innocently thought the wardenry would help him leave there. But instead, the wardenry killed Tommy. I t’s impossible for the wardenry to set free Andy who had been laundering money for the wardenry for a long time.Without Andy,the wardenry wouldn’t have all this things.

At this moment, everything seemed to be over. Unexpectedly, Andy escaped from Shawshank at a night with thunderstorm, which is the climax of the movie. 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 in the wall was covered by the huge poster of a famous actress. What impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jai. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom.
