The Shawshank Redemption is one of my all time favourite films. Its one of those films that really touches you, that actually makes you think, and then always remains your head, ready to pop up when discussing influential, favourite films. At points this film is awfull, when prisioners are being violently beaten by the guards or being raped by fellow inmates. But at times its full of hope, determination and positivity. Andy Dufresne is the main character, he had been wrongly sentenced to two life sentences in one of Americas toughest prisons and on his first night he witnesses another new arrival being beaten to death by the guards. Dufresne is befriended by fellow inmate Red, who is the man to go to if you wnat anything brought into the prison. Dufresne requested a small rock hammer to be brought in. The film follows the years of Dufresne growing in prison, becoming popular with the guards , the inmates and working hard in the prison library. One morning Dufresne's room was found empty, after an investigation, a tunnel was found behind a poster. This tunnel Dufresne had made over the years with his small rock hammer. So hope and determination set Andy Dufresne free, it wasn't easy, it will haev been a lot of hard work but in the end he won.
