- Put you trust in the Lord your ass belongs to me

welcome to Shawshank. - The Shawshank Redemption is one of Hollywood's most

beloved films according to public voting on IMDB it ranks just above the

Godfather in the number one spot people are drawn to this film for its message

of hope and enduring friendship I am warning you to afraid turn which

remarkably come together in a Christian act of redemption

- Man missing on care to cell 245. -  When Andy Dufresne escapes after 2 hours of

screen time 19 years in the story, it hits as a total twist.  - He was in his cell

and lights out sansa reasoning still be here in the morning. -

lead-up or execution of a plan. - He must say something. No, sirs. Not a word. - Andy just

disappears. - Lord it's a miracle. Man vanished like a fart in the wind. -

- You might get me a rock hammer. - Given that escapes are endemic to prison films

viewers might have expected it. The Shawshank Redemption in a

slight of hand turns attention elsewhere contrary to every expectation the

prisoners of Shawshank fear release while they may hate the walls of the

prison they're not seeking to escape from the neither. - What did you hell to do to set him off

anyway. -  I do nothing I come in here to say farewell. Didn't you heard, his parole come true. -

the missus embodied in Brooks after being locked up for 50 years

Brooks responds to his parole by attempting to kill a friend just so he

can stay behind bars. - I'm telling you these walls are funny

first you hate him, enough time passes guess so your depend

on. - For Brooks freedom as an exile to world he doesn't belong so when he

ultimately finds himself in that exile emptying alone, he sees no other option

but to hang himself this is the principle problem for the prisoners of

Shawshank and yet not for any Dufresne Andy comes to Shawshank as the innocent

outsider and refuses to give up hope. he subverts the prison's dehumanizing

system of rules and regulations extending to his fellow prisoners rare

and extraordinary reminders of the outside world cold beer after hot days

work angelic music over the prison speakers new books to educate men Andy's

strength derives from his innocence but when at last the Warden erases evidence

Andy appears to succumb to the same institutional pessimism of his fellow

prisoners. - Andy come down to the loading dock today he asked me for a length of

rope. - Remember Brooks Hatlen. - No and he'd never

do that.- I don't know. - He returns to a cell and there appears to hang himself. - That's

when the unexpected occurs. - You better be sick or dead in there I shit you not you

hear me.- Instead of finding Andy dead, the cell is

empty. - Oh my holy God.- Now stop and think about that if you thought this film was

just another prison flick. Take another look. The film infuses Andy's escape with

a symbolism of new birth it proceeds through a woman's womb

and ends with him something headfirst from the other end. This symbolism fits

within the film's larger allegory prisoners enter Shawshank like newborns

naked and coated in white. - A macho and naked of the day you were born. - And they

come to fear release with life's corresponding dread of death. In his

escape Andy is born again becomes a new man. - ... spilling her little secret a man

nobody ever laid eyes on before. - He preach the identity of wealth McHugh stop I set

aside for the Warden until that moment he didn't exist. - I hope you'll enjoy

living abroad. - Thank you. - And in taking on this new persona

Andy passes judgment on the Warden and his hypocritical system in the end the

Warden performs on himself the faith that only moments before he is assumed

to be Andy's end. Now look at the empty cell again. Tt's an allusion to the empty

tune. - Oh my holy God.-  Andy's Escape is an echo of Jesus resurrection but this

alone isn't what makes Shawshank the greatest Christian movie ever

it's beyond the illusion where Shawshank touches people in a way that gospel

films don't. Rather than ending with the resurrection. Shawshank goes on to show

why it matters it's not by accident that Andy the only innocent man in Shawshank

becomes the best friend of Red, the only guilty man. It's Red and not Andy who

- Only guilty man in Shawshank. - Red like Brooks is institutionalized and three

parole hearings at the beginning middle and end the film demonstrates Reds

transformation. - If you've been rehabilitated -

- Without a doubt, I can honestly say I'm a changed man. No tainted to society here. - In his second

he admits to no longer being a danger to society

not because he's a better man but because like Brooks he no longer looks

forward to the outside world but it's Andy's miraculous escape and his life on

the outside which redeems Red. - Well now let me see

you know I don't have any idea what that means. - Well that means you're ready to

rejoin society. - I know what it means. - In his final hearing, Red at last speaks

as a free man he no longer cares whether he remains or goes whether he lives or

dies the world outside no longer concerns him because Andy lives. Red can

face what the future holds. So when it's time of release does come it's hope and

Andy which propels and Beyond and Brooks fate to a life in a world beyond

Shawshank. It's obvious now whyRred finds Andy working the wood of a fishing

boat all before an eternal sea the Shawshank Redemption is a parable and

like the parables of Jesus its seed which opens in the right soil
