You eat when we say you eat. You shit when we say you shit you piss when we say you piss you
you got that you mega dick motherfucker can a film which is grated are for a host of
obscenities produced by a cast and crew of non-believers and which paints the
only Christian as evil hypocrite be in fact the greatest Christian movie ever
made but 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 sell to 45 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 the air in the marginal quintessential
lead-up or execution of a plan something someone not a worried Andy just
disappears Lord it's a miracle man I'm finished like a fart in the wind or if
you might get me a rock head given that escapes are endemic to prison films
viewers might have expected it my rock camera 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 how to do the setup off
anyway I do nothing I come in here to say fairly well made you heard his throw
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
praise to 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
of his innocence
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 donno 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 a need ed 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 hiepro 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 it'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 read the only guilty man it's read and not Andy who
needs to be redeemed thank you
only guilty man in Shawshank read like Brooks is institutionalized and three
parole hearings at the beginning middle and end the film demonstrates Reds
transformation if you've been rehabilitated
I can honestly say I'm a changed man Oh 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 in his final hearing read 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 is it obvious now why red 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
