The final scene shows the Carpenter on the boat (A.D., anno Domini/Andy Dufresne) who is going to make fishers of men (take his hotel guests fishing).

Andy, like Dorothy "was in the path of the tornado."

Better Titles! Wow can't wait to see this. People might not want to stay for a 30 Second Intro...but maybe you don't need them!

Yeah I could probably tighten up that intro I made. Maybe I’ll do that for the next one.

@@justinsmorningcoffee it's like Robert McKee says, if the Scene does not serve a purpose, you need to cut it. KZbin has an integrated Editor. I am Return to a lot of my older Videos, and cutting out the rambling at the start. Sometimes 3 Minutes to get, and start at the POINT.

Interesting that Chess (a symbol of higher thinking and the brain) is in Shawshank redemption, Alice in Wonderland, and Harry Potter (another voyage and return story - Harry goes to Platform 9 1/2 and enters the world of Hogwarts). Also, Andy describes chess as the game of kings, and Jesus was a King. From the internet: "The story of The Matrix is closely related to chess, with the goal of checkmating the machines into a position that they cannot solve themselves. The machines need the matrix to harvest humans for energy, and know that if Agent Smith corrupts the matrix, they cannot live." It is also a key motif in Bergman's Seventh Seal.

That’s true!!

Andy Dufresne = A.D. The term anno Domini (A.D.) is Medieval Latin and means "in the year of the Lord" but is often presented using "our Lord" instead of "the Lord", taken from the full original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi", which translates to "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ".
