I read the book and watched the movie “ The Shawshank Redemption”, by Stephen King. There are many differences and similarities between the book and the movie, some significant and some not so much. The Shawshank Redemption is about a man named Andy Dufresne who is sentenced to life in prison after he is blamed for his wife's murder . In prison he quickly gains respect of the inmates and a lifelong prisoner named “Red”. Andy and Red eventually escape the prison permanently. There were many…

To think or not to think. To wonder or not to wonder. That is the question. Sociology comes up in many ways in The Shawshank Redemption defines a large multitude of sociological terms. The instances in this movie are tragic, concerning, and yet wonderful. They make your mind jog at the speed of light as you realize “That’s a social group!” or “That’s a style of Culture!”. So many instances that in fact, the list would possibly consist of 76% of the sociological knowledge. This movie truly does…

To some people, Avatar may seem like just another science fiction action-adventure flick designed to show off some new special effects while giving audiences some feel-good messages in the process. However, there are much deeper messages to be found in the movie. The events in Avatar between the humans and Na’vi closely align to the motives, actions, and outcomes that occurred during historical imperialism. One of the most noticeable parallels between the motion picture and historical…

Introduction A journey is often more important than the destination you reach; a popular message that is represented in both the films Cool Hand Luke and Shawshank Redemption. Both of these movies focus on the themes of determination and self worth, even while being set in the bleak lives of prisoners in intense prisons with seemingly no hope. Still, these films create a sense of motivational drive in individuals and have even changed the lives of the people who view them. Furthermore, it is…

My favorite show has to be the Walking Dead. I started watching the Walking Dead in the middle of season one, no matter what Caleb says, I started watching it earlier than whatever he tells you. Anyway, the Walking Dead is my favorite show because it is obviously not real, but it seems to be. I live almost all the characters, even the evil ones, and it's full of great actors and actresses. The ZA (zombie apocalypse) started when an obviously dangerous virus started to spread. Neither the show…

I 'm Still Pissed Off About the Oscars A funny thing happened on the way to the Academy Awards, A.K.A. the Oscars, in 2007. After early screenings with journalists and one at the Cannes festival, DreamGirls was widely deemed an Oscar frontrunner. It went on to be ranked 4th on the American Film Institute 's Best of 2006 list and won 3 out of 5 Golden Globes, including Best Picture-Comedy or Musical, Best Supporting Actor (Murphy) and Best Supporting Actress (Hudson). It also received nods and…

DeMille Award), won a lifetime achievement award from the Directors Guild, was nominated for a different DAG award, and countless others, since news of the…
