he Shawshank Redemption” is one of those movies that I wished I’d seen on the big screen. Thanks to videos, however, all was not lost. Whether intentional or not, this film is about grace and hope, as well as the redemption that can occur even in the most dark and degrading corners of our world. Conceived and produced by the secular film community, this engrossing film stands as one of the most entertaining, thought-provoking dramas of this century. But, it’s a film for mature audiences. It…

If there is one thing that I gathered from the book, “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” and the film, “Wasteland”, it’s a sense of hope. Not all poverty is equal, and not all charities are truthful. Especially in, “Behind the Beautiful Forevers,” the characters show how to be good people despite their situation. In “Wastleland,” without the hope of a future from Tiaõ, none of the artwork or success would have been possible. Although both situations are difficult and many people would sense no…

Dollar Tree is a single price variety store that now operates more than 14,000 stores across 48 states and five Canadian provinces (Thomas, 2015). Most all of the products offered by Dollar Tree are priced at $1.00 or less and the company offers products that meet a wide variety of consumers every day needs. According to Parnell (2014), Dollar Tree customers are typically price-conscious consumers who are looking to get the best price available and feel that prices at other chain stores are…

The Shawshank Redemption is the tale of a banker who is wrongly convicted of double murder and his struggle to survive in Shawshank prison. The director, Frank Darabont, utilises the effect of colour, symbolism and foreshadowing to position the viewer to feel compassion towards the oppressed inmates and hostility towards the Warden and guards. Darabont, raises issues such as: institutionalisation, hope, freedom, corruption and oppression and has created a plot consisting of rising action and…

The Shawshank Redemption is my favorite film of all time and I can almost watch the whole film just by closing my eyes. The film is about a man named Andy Dufesne who is sent to prison on belief that he had killed his wife and the man she was cheating on him with. He is only a banker who claims to be innocent to the crime and is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison at the Shawshank State Penitentiary. While he is at Shawshank he remains to believe that he himself is innocent while the…

Through the days in Shawshank, Andy never lost hope. Loosing hope inside of Shawshank is like Captain Hadley beating “Fat Ass” in the first scenes. “Fat Ass” lost all hope as soon as the prison doors shut and he knew there was no escape. Andy took this into consideration to always have his guard up and not let things get to him. When meeting Red he met somebody who reflected Andy’s life. Seeing how Red was a down to earth guy helped Andy throughout his time in Shawshank prison. The director of…

Vinoth Loganathan Mark 3.9 Frank Darabont – Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile Anne Bradstreet once said “Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.” Frank Darabont effectuates this simple principal in his work. He successfully illustrates and imparts this comprehension into the mind of his viewers making his impact in the world. It can be drawn that this principle is close to his heart as it is craftily presented in most of his works. Frank…

There are a number of conflicts Frank Darabont used to show institutionalisation in the film Shawshank Redemption. This is shown in physical, verbal, internal conflict between the prisoners, guards and the warden. Conflict can be found in the form of physical violence. At Shawshank prison physical violence was not only common between the inmates but the guards were also violent toward the prisoners. The first few years Andy was at Shawshank Red’s voice over stated he would, “every so often, turn…

In both “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption” written by Stephen King and in The Shawshank Redemption written and directed by Frank Darabont, Red tells us early in the story that Andy did not commit the crime he was Jailed for. Injustice can be defined many ways the most relevant being “violation of the rights of others; unjust or unfair action or treatment.” The theme of injustice is used throughout both works to further enhance and unfold the story. Andy Dufresne was one of the few…
