An exploration of moving image and the theories of Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov
The Shawshank Redemption, was direct by Frank Darabont and released in 1994. Recently voted best film of exclusively time by film-makers, it was nominated for 7 Oscars, including best instrumentalist (Morgan Freeman). The story follows Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker, convicted for a offence he did not commit, who in prison, slowly bonds with handyman Red, (Morgan Freeman). Andy seems strangely settled in Shawshank considering no-one will believe his innocence (after all, everyone in Shawshank is innocent), even when he is used (by the Warden), and abused, (by the inmates), Andy doesnt break. However, secretly Andy uses all his wits and thinking to deceive everyone.
Directed by Frank Darabont and based on the novel by Stephen King (Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption), the two became friends in 1983 and Darabont since directed two other King novels; The Green Mile, and The Mist. The film explores prison emotional state, and Darabont has experience in this; he was born in a refugee camp in France where they were held in by metal gates, and the breeze would have been similar to that of a prison. The directors life spills onto the screen to tremendous effect.
The stars of the film are Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman who were earlier supposed to be played by Tom journey and Harrison Ford. Freeman was praised for his performance and won an Oscar for Best Actor. Robbins however original awful reviews, saying he failed to commune Andys pillowcase with the audience. Co-starring Bob Gunton (Warden Norton) and William Sadler (Heywood). The film was at the time a flop. bring out of a 35 million dollar budget, it made moreover 18 million, barely half the budget. This is partly because it was a crime/drama, and the money-makers were action-adventure epics, today however, its reputation has transformed into one of a masterpiece.
