‘The Shawshank Redemption’ should be inducted into the Movie Hall of Fame because it covers many areas of drama, this includes love, despair, hope, rebellion, motivation and purpose. Not many movies can cover all of these aspects in a movie length scenario. The script of this movie perfectly balanced all these aspects through filmography. The director captured through shots that moved the scene in the movie into a steady a gradually increasing drum beat of a storyline.
The main theme of the movie was a prisoner, who is seemingly innocent, tries to make a life for himself inside the walls of the prison. He meets a couple of guys and they soon become the tightest knit group of friends in the whole prison. The movie follows our newly convicted prisoner, Andy Durfresne, and his friends through 20 years of prison time, reaching the climax of the story when Andy is alone in his prison cell with six feet of rope on a dark and stormy night.
The characters in the movie influence the story line so well that if they weren’t there you would just be watching a bunch a prisoners bum around the courtyard and in the prison, going on with their daily lives doing hard labour work. The prison, throughout the story, becomes a necessity to the prisoners inside it, it is all they know in the world and all they need to be able to live their lives right through to the end. It becomes their best friend that they would not replace even to be let out into the real world again.
