This movie has one of the greatest overlooked moments of foreshadowing. When Andy is speaking to Red about Zihuatanejo beach later in the film, red says “Andy that’s just sh***y pipe dreams” (paraphrase). And what did Andy crawl out of to reach his dreams.....

I noticed it the first time I saw it in college when my roommate was watching it. I laughed when he was crawling through the pipe and turned to the roommate and said “That’s funny, shitty pipe dream.” He was kind of upset I noticed that right away and he had seen it a bunch of times and never noticed it. He mostly was upset because he was an A student and I was about to drop out.

The "Redemption" is not Andy's, it is Red's. Andy never lost hope, Red had. To redeem is to give value to something that no longer has any. Red's life was redeemed by Andy. Andy gave him hope, and it eventually paid off. Redemption indeed!

I thought it was interesting the way that the movie shifts from Andy being the main character to Red in the last few scenes after his escape.

The bird call that makes Red wary enough to check his surroundings for prying eyes is highly effective at instilling that sort of chilling feeling as though you're being watched. I did a little research and found out that the bird sound heard is the cactus wren, native to the southwestern US and Mexico. I don't know if that's just the sound production folks being lazy (it's used a *lot* in movie scenes set in a desert) or are they being rather clever...after all, a bird from Mexico (where "jailbird" Andy has escaped to) has no earthly business being in a Maine hayfield (any more than a chunk of black volcanic glass does).

As a plumber the problem in the sewer pipe scene isn't the level of sewage he is crawling though. The problem is that sewer pipes don't hold liquid under pressure, (unless there is a pump which didn't happen in that era) so the shit fountain would not happen, but the internal level would be accurate. Also the pipes tend to get bigger as you get closer to the end.

The smart thing they did from changing this from the book was not to tell what Red did to land in prison (he killed his wife when he was in his 20's) and kill Tommy (It was more impactful and made the Warden that much more evil). Also I think this is one of the few movies where the happy ending was earned. In the book Red is just one the bus going to Mexico (it is a well know joke that King never know how to end his stories, he liked the change). This movie was robbed at The Oscars (yes it was and is better then Forest Gump)
@davidking4838 Жыл бұрын

@valecrassus7835 Жыл бұрын
I always felt since the first time I saw it that the story was intended to end with Red on his way to a new adventure with an uncertain future but hope filling his heart, and that the reunion scene was sort of slapped on. It doesn't ruin the ending, it's just a little incongruent. Darabont made some similar changes to The Green Mile. Eduard Delacroix seems far more worthy of sympathy when they don't tell you he's on the Mile for raping a girl, killing her, then trying to cover his crime by dousing the body with coal oil and setting it on fire...which ends up burning down a building and killing several others in the process. I will also put forth that this edit very slightly puts things out-of-kilter with the themes in the story; much like how John Coffey pulls death and disease from people (and mice) and releases them to disperse like a sinister cloud of shadowy insects, King also treats whatever drove Del to commit his crimes as something that infected/possessed him but vacated and moved on afterward, leaving just a meek little Cajun man incapable of such evil to pay the price. This makes Coffey pulling the tumor out of Melinda Moores and then using whatever shadowy force comprised it to prompt Percy Whetmore to murder William Wharton make a little bit more sense.

Agreed 👍 A couple years back my then girlfriend told me she'd got tickets to see it at a local theatre. I assumed, as this isn't uncommon in my experience, it was the theatre showing the movie on a temporary big screen on the stage. When we arrived at the theatre and were waiting for drinks in the foyer I clocked several posters on the walls promoting up coming shows, and sure enough there was The Shawshank Redemption. After glancing at it for a second or two something seemed off about it. Then I thought, "hey that isn't Tim Robbins...and that isn't Morgan Freeman either". It only took a couple more seconds for the penny to drop and me figure that we were there to see a live stage production of the movie 🙄 Unfortunately I voiced a lot of this thought process and my then girlfriend thought it was hilarious that I'd got it all wrong. From that moment on I vowed to pay more attention to what she was saying!! Didn't do much good though I guess given that she's now an ex 😁

The business seen out the front window is Picideli news stand.. The bus station where Red got his ticket is part of the old Myers building offices and the brand new building seen across the street DCHS had to be blurred out because of the sparkling new handrail that was in the shot. The laundry scenes we also shot in our town where most of the outside shots outside of the prison where shot in the upper eastern part of the US... Massachusetts or Maine... not sure which.

As far as the aging goes, maybe I’m seeing things, but certain shots do seem to have Andy, Red and The Warden with more grey hair and different hair styles towards the later years (about the time Tommy arrives). I don’t think it was meant to be drastic and realistic but just subtle detail to show at least some time passage. Andy is also seen wearing glasses later on which is about the same time you can notice this. Again, it could just be inconsistent make up, scenes shot out of order, or just the lighting, but it seems like it’s definitely there.

Consider the piping Andy crawls through. It's obviously a storm drain, not a sanitary sewer, which most certainly would not drain into a creek. The pipe he breaks with the rock or whatever would most likely be made of clay, with is plausible, but that would be rainwater, not raw sewage gushing out.

What's interesting about prison movies, is that the prisoners tend to be the good guys, and the Warden with his guards are the bad guys. Movies like Shawshank Redemption, Escape from Alcatraz, Lock-up (with Stallone), and the Longest Yard (both versions with Burt Reynolds and Adam Sandler). There is typically a prisoner who is the protagonist, and the Warden, the antagonist, is either mean or corrupt, while the guards are his henchmen. The protagonist prisoner typically wins in the end.
