Not so easy to write about the film that's the level; about the film in all the top list occupies the first place; the film, which is my age, and thus the opportunity to evaluate it, to Express his opinion, was already one generation. This is a large-scale film, probably, for a billion pictures released by film studios for the time of the history of cinema, there is only one such, giving any viewer food for thought for many days to come.
Although, if you think about it, its plot is hardly convoluted (if you compare it with many films under the "Run..." in the ratings). What, then cling this masterpiece? The fact that we are constantly talking about exactly that close to anyone. Yes, not on such a scale, but fear and freedom, despair and hope — they are familiar to everyone. But just the same exaggeration of the scale of related issues leads to finding motivation after watching the movie, because if Andy has broken through several meters of stone walls, crawled through miles of sewer pipe, and within twenty years of being in horrible conditions and did not give up, what could be so terrible in the life of a normal, legally a free man?
But in General, Andy Dufresne, a man were not normal. At liberty, he held a responsible post in the Bank has always been honest and decent, loved his wife, until he was accused in the brutal massacre of her and her lover. He, of course, was a direct intention, was the ability, and the statistics in most of these cases the fault of the husband, so the judiciary simply took the path of least resistance, accusing it in all respects a decent person in that monstrous act. However, as a man talented, Dufresne found the use of their capacities even in jail, throughout his twenty-year tenure he constantly handled such things, which has been going on favor of as him, so and the rest of the prisoners.
Moreover, as for those prisoners. Of course, they call themselves innocent and everything, but we understand that, perhaps, prior to his falling into Shawshank, these people have done terrible things. Nevertheless, you do not feel any hostility towards them, on the contrary, they are the same people, people are cheerful and cheerful, sometimes much more principled and open than most people are free. You get used to them, you sympathize with them, and you believe them.
The undoubted advantage of the film is the consistent development of several storylines, which, in fact, in any case, lead us to the same topic of hope, but make as if to look at it from different angles. That's great. For example, the despair of Brix, who was released from prison after fifty years? Incomparably talented Morgan Freeman introduces in connection with his situation, the concept of "prison person", perhaps, in this light, we can talk not only about the person being imprisoned, but in General about the habituation of people to certain conditions and their inability to change into other conditions, even the best. It is also worth mentioning the storyline associated with Tommy, a young boy who became a casual victim of the fight against arbitrariness in this prison.
In the context of this film, perhaps, can be called synonymous with the words prison and despair, because in the understanding of the usual, free from this kind of responsibility, prison can be anything. Any hopeless situation in life everyone can become his personal prison, and there is need to decide for yourself what is closer: to break through the wall, like Andy or realize his guilt as Red.
