After reading the review of this Shawshank Redemption it can be seen that Shmoop,an analytical website for films and novels, gave a great and in depth presentation of it. Looking at the review in an analytical point of view, Shmoop hits this spot on by explaining the symbols and themes seen throughout the film. One of these being the Library and the Bible. Shmoop explains the Library as being a sort of “gift” it also says it was a “ place of safety apart from the cell block, where Andy could be himself with his books and accounts”. The second symbol, being the bible is also expressed throughout the film by also being expressed by, for example the warden of the prison telling the main character, Andy, that “salvation lies within”.

Luke’s plan is set up in a way of fitting in by gambling, and gaining the trust of his fellow mates.

Andy then showed viewers his successful plan by crawling through the sewers, and moving to Mexico. He then turned his freedom into success by essentially taking down the prison by exposing the warden. Another large difference between the films are the outcomes of each by Cool Hand Luke ending sorrowfully with his death , but Shawshank Redemption ends satisfyingly with both Red and Andy’s freedom.
Conclusion:
In conclusion each of these movies are related to one another in ways that are within the characters, as well as having their differences represented through actions. Within Shawshank Redemption there are more similarities regarding the personalities with each of the characters from each film. These similarities are also found in Cool Hand Luke through personality as well. The plots also shown throughout each paragraph as different, but similar. Lastly, the outcomes and symbols seen throughout the films are brought up showing their similarities and
