PLOT
Dufresne is allegedly charged
with the murder of his wife and her secret lover. He is sentenced to serve the
life imprisonment in Shawshank Prison. He makes new friends especially Red,
thereafter it revolves around the life in prison. His friendship with fellow
inmates, his charge free tax evasion methods to the police officers, his effort
to expand the prison library, the life goes on.
There
are large number of movies in world cinema about prison, most of them deals
with the hardcore life in prison, while Shawshank is different, even if it
tells from the point of view of Red about Andy, it emphasis on the simple life
in prison, happiness in enjoying a beer together after a huge work, watching
gorgeous heroine in the reels and betting on new inmates. The movie’s main
theme is about hope, it says “hope is a good thing and good thing never dies”.
The story of antagonists Andy is a fine example of this hope, you may find it
as simple good feel movie while reading the plot, but it has all the elements
of happiness, sentiments, and even suspense for everyone to enjoy. The refreshment
it provides at the end of the movie will make us speechless.
Shawshank Redemption is
not a new name for cinema lovers, most of them had seen it many times, if not
watch it now itself; otherwise you are missing a masterpiece in world cinema.
