watch The Shawshank Redemption online
It 'interesting that, although the film's hero is destined for a former banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), the function has never seen his point of view. Opening scene of the film shows he was given two life sentences for the murder of his wife and her lover, and then move permanently to represent the views of prisoners, and lifer, in particular, Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman). And 'his voice in mind for the first time I saw Andy ("looked like a stiff breeze blow over him"), and predict, incorrectly, that he did in prison.
Andy's arrival at the prison bus at the end of the movie, just see how others see it - Red, who becomes his best friend, the old librarian Brooks, the corrupt Warden Norton, guards and prisoners. Red is our substitute. He's the one we identify with, and redemption, when it is red. It has shown us the example of Andy you have to stay true to yourself, do not lose hope, patient, calm, an example and get your chance. "I think it comes down to a simple choice, really," he said in red. "Get busy livin 'or get busy dyin'.
The key to the structure of the film, I think this is not the hero, but on our relationship with him - our curiosity, our shame, that we admire. If Andy had been at the center of a heroic, courageous and strong, the film would have been normal, and less mysterious. But we wonder about this guy. Does it really kill these two people? Why did you keep as much of yourself? Why did you walk through the prison yard as a free man to walk, when all the other limps, or sidles?
People love the excitement in the theater, and securities that give it good. Films on the "redemption" are brought into contact with great skepticism, many people are not thrilled with the prospect of a great movie - it sounds like work. But there is a hunger for messages of hope, and when a film featuring one, it is likely to take even if it does not get an immediate hearing.
"The Shawshank Redemption" was presented at the Toronto Film Festival in September 1994 and opened a few weeks later. He received good reviews but had a bad deal (his $ 18 million gross of origin does not cover costs, it only took $ 10 million after winning seven Oscar nominations, including Best film).
There was not much for her: she had a terrible title, it was a "prison drama" and women do not like these, which contained almost no action, with players that have been reached, but not big stars, and extended to 142 minutes. It is clear that this was a movie that is necessary to the word of mouth to find an audience, and even business has been slowly but surely, more and more when it was withdrawn from cinemas. Had it been left to find his way, he would have continued to build and operate for months, but that's not what happened.
Instead, in one of the most remarkable stories in history Home Video, found its audience on actual weight of the cassettes and discs, and through projection television. Within five years, "Shawshank" was a phenomenon, a best-selling video and the tenant as his fans feel they have discovered for themselves. As the Wall Street Journal published an article on "Shawshank" good ground in April 1999 it was occupied first place in votes on Internet Movie Database world 250 best films, it is usually in the top five.
Polls and rents reflect the popularity, but do not explain why people will appreciate the "freedom" with such fervor. Perhaps it is more of a spiritual experience of a movie. This is an entertaining moments of the final solution (as when another prison guards, who wore a baseball uniform, line up is Andy doing taxes). But a lot of film with a quiet solitude, and philosophical discussions about life. Moments of violence (as when Andy is a sexually) is seen as a goal, not exploited.
The film is to avoid lingering on the suffering of Andy, after the beating, which saw the break in the medium and long, with tact. The camera does not focus on wounds or bruises from Andy, but, like his fellow prisoners, give it space.
Morgan Freeman character takes spiritual arc of the film. We see three parole hearings, after years 20, 30 and 40. The first hearing is the cunning of history, the film opened with Andy conviction, then we see a parole board, and expect to hear the call from Andy. But, no, when one first sees red. In his first appeal, is to convince the board that was rehabilitated. In the second, simply goes through the motions. In the third, which rejects the notion of rehabilitation, and somehow, in doing so he puts his mind free, and the advice does not release.
There is an underlying problem. Behind bars, the Red King. He was jailed fixer, able to get a pack of cigarettes, a small rock or pick a poster of Rita Hayworth. Outside, it has no status or identity. We have already seen what happened with the old librarian (James Whitmore), alone and adrift in freedom. The last act, where Andy will help Red accept his freedom, is deeply moving - especially because Andy is working again at a distance, with letters and postcards are considered by the spirit of Red.
Frank Darabont wrote and directed the film, based on a story by Stephen King. The film leaves a hobby that most horror films of the risks. The film is deliberate, thoughtful and thought that Freeman's narration. There is a feeling in Hollywood that the public has a very short and should be attacked with new frescoes. I think these movies are slower to sit and watch a movie like "The Shawshank" which absorbs and removes the awareness that we are watching a movie.
Deliberate, as is dialogue. Tim Robbins Andy is a man of few words, soft-spoken. It has worked to get real. He is his own man, able to keep his head down for years and then participate in a grand gesture, as when playing a melody of Mozart "The Marriage of Figaro". (. The quirk of prisoners in the courtyard Fascinated by music, is one of the epiphanies of the movie) because they do not volunteer, come to us, or to exaggerate their feelings, it becomes more fascinating: It is sometimes better to ask what think a person should know.
Roger Deakins cinematography is unobtrusive, not flashy. Two opening shots of a helicopter, one of the walls of the prison threatens to overload the prison setting. Shots follow the dialogue instead of anticipating it. Thomas Newman's music enhances rather than reporting, and there is a subtle form of deep bass rumors during the first murder when a young man taken prisoner recalls the description of the crime of another man.
Darabont constructs the film to see history, not to strike or to date. Overshadowing, in fact, is not known at this film, the actors remain limited to its functions, the story moves in an orderly manner, and the film reflects the slow passage of decades. "When you get into the cell," said Rojas, "when the bars hit home, that's when you know it's real. Old life blown into a nod. Nothing but the whole of time to think about it . "Seeing the film again, I admired even more than the first time I saw him. Love good movies often grows with familiarity, as it does with music. Some have said that life is a prison, who are Red, Andy is our Redeemer. All art is good for something deeper than he admits.
