One viewer described their tape of The Shawshank Redemption as 'like a friend in the sitting-room, who talked to me and picked me up when I was down'. And from such intimate encounters came the quasi-religious readings which would transform The Shawshank Redemption into a latter-day Gospel for some viewers. David Bruce, of the 'spiritual' pop culture website HollywoodJesus.com observes: 'It's an example of film as therapy. The Shawshank Redemption gives you hope; you can go on; you can go forward.'

    The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is a spectacular feature film directed by Frank Darabont who adapted Stephen King’s novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (Different Seasons collection). First things first, the poster of the movie has these words “Fear can hold you prisoner, Hope can set you free” on it. This quote clearly explains the power of hope freedom. Now moving to the movie itself, there have been many amazing prison dramas in the past so how does Shawshank Redemption filled with so many clichés differ from them? The movie is spread across a long period of time letting the simplest things take a fuller meaning the smallest details have their importance. This is what makes the main difference. In a place where everything has…

    The final example of redemption was at the climax of the movie, where Andy escapes Shawshank through the “tunnel of shit” and poses in the way of a cross, his head held high as the rain washed over him. This is symbolic to Jesus Christ; showing purification and cleansing of all sins. The rain represents freedom, the uproar of triumphant music and the camera shot from behind Andy gives us…

    Some wise guy might dismiss The Shawshank Redemption as Son of Cool Hand Luke. So it is, but it's more than that. Frank Darabont's adaptation of a Stephen King novella seems to respond to the old Paul Newman movie, amend it, complete it.…

    Director Frank Darabont wrote and directed the film “The Shawshank Redemption” which was based on a novella by Stephen King. “The Shawshank Redemption” touches our hearts and creates warmth in our feelings as it makes us a member of the family as Frank Darabont tells the slow and gentle tale of loving friendship and hope. A Shawshank newcomer (White guy who worked in a bank) in 1946 Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), bangs up a 20-year friendship with a black guy named Red (Morgan Freeman) while in prison. It uses the sweet, soothing and soft voice overs of Red to include us in the story of men forming a community in prison. It isn’t one of those films where it offers us quick, in cloud nine feelings. It accomplishes in avoiding the familiar.…

    Darabont and Kesey use messianic imagery to display conflicts between hope and oppression. Darabont portrays Andy as a humble Christ figure who “…had a quiet way about him,” and strolled like he had “an invisible coat that would shield him from this place [Shawshank prison]” suggesting the same modest traits of Jesus. Darabont uses this religious allusion to foreshadow that hope will prevail; Andy’s hope never fades, “…there is something inside that they can’t get to…Hope.” Darabont used a birds-eye-view shot to place the audience in a God-like position when Andy escaped; with his hands outstretched as if to say, ‘thank you God,’ emphasising his hope for success and being ‘reborn’, like Jesus, into freedom. In contrast to Darabont, Kesey uses messianic imagery to convey oppression prevailing. McMurphy states that he is “not a saint or a martyr.” Unlike Darabont’s portrayal of Andy as a sombre and modest Christ figure, Kesey portrays McMurphy as loud and confident but puts on a façade for the sake of others, asking “Do I get a crown of thorns?” when faced with electro-shock therapy and insisting “that it wasn’t hurting him,” telling the others that “all they was doin’ was chargin’ his battery for him.” Kesey portrays him as ‘self-sacrificial’,…

    Langston Hughes exposes the dishonesty of the church and how blindly trusting in God can have a negative impact on ourselves. Hughes’ decision to stand up and be “saved” clearly shows peer pressure, because when all of the kids at the revival were “saved” he became the center of attention which became a reason for Hughes to lie. Unfortunately, deceiving someone is a bad thing, but lying about a lie is not necessarily a negative thing. At the beginning of the article when Hughes said “I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved.”…

    "Battle Royal" by Ralph Ellison is the story of a young, African boy, who withstands humiliation to give a speech amongst the towns leading white citizens at an event called a "Battle Royal." The story escalates when the boy‘s grandfather’s dying words were that he was a traitor and a spy in enemy’s country. The tension rises when the boy is blindfolded and made to participate in a boxing match with his fellow classmates against his wish. The climax occurs when the fight gets over and the boy is finally allowed to give his graduation speech in front of the white people resulting in the resolution as he receives a scholarship and feels safe from his grandfather, whose dying words usually spoiled his triumphs. Ellison implies that the southern white people still had control over the African Americans even after they were freed of slavery. The story also suggests that gaining freedom does not necessarily mean gaining equality. The civil war had ended but the African American still suffered racism.…
