The Shawshank Redemption by Mike Long https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23 This film chronicles the experiences of a formerly successful banker as a prisoner in the gloomy jailhouse of Shawshank after being found guilty of a crime he did not commit. The film portrays the man's unique way of dealing with his new, torturous life. Along the way he befriends a number of fellow prisoners, most notably a wise long-term inmate named Red. Over the years, he retains hope and eventually gains the respect of his fellow inmates, especially longtime convict "Red" Redding, a black marketeer, and becomes influential within the prison. Eventually, Andrew achieves his ends on his own terms. en-us 2017-01-20 13:41:44 UTC 2026-02-27 06:57:56 UTC hello@padlet.com mlong21 https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23/wish/150375884 2017-01-30 20:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23/wish/150375884 Andy's Secret... mlong21 https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23/wish/150377336 This scene is my favorite.

Andy breaks the rules, and plays music for the inmates. Italian opera music is played over the loudspeakers, symbolizing beauty and hope that can still be found within an ugly place.]]> 2017-01-30 20:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23/wish/150378623 Andy's Friend... mlong21 https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23/wish/150379907 Andy and Red are the best of friends!

My favorite scene would have to be the scene in Andy's cell when the warden discover's his escape tunnel behind the poster. It is a truly memorable scene, and I remember how blown away I was time first time I saw this film. I was just as surprised as the characters in this scene (Red, the Warden, and Prison Guard Hadley). I also love the actual camera shot where the camera is inside the tunnel looking out into Andy's cell as the three characters lean over to look into the hole and their faces move into the camera's Point of View.]]> 2017-01-30 21:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23/wish/150394604 The Box Office Statistics mlong21 https://padlet.com/mlong21/dmpqhfrfhc23/wish/150396066 Cost to Make the Film: $25 Million Dollars
