Andy's demeanor and undeniable sense of hope causes Red to take a deeper look at himself, and the world around him. Ellis, commonly referred to as Red, finds gainful use of his entrepreneurial spirit within the drab walls of Shawshank by dealing in contraband and commodities rare to the confines of prison. His ability to do this results in the gaining of respect from his fellow inmates, but most of all from Ellis Redding.
He exists in this prison only in appearance, keeping his mind free from the drab walls around him.
After a quick conviction, Andy finds himself serving a life sentence at Shawshank prison, with no hope of parole.
The story begins with the trial of a young banker, Andy Dufrense, victimized by circumstantial evidence, resulting in a conviction for the murder of his wife and her lover. The Shawshank Redemption defines a genre, defies the odds, compels the emotions, and brings an era of artistically influential films back to Hollywood. Proving himself already a master of the craft, Darabont managed to create one of the most recognizable independent releases in the history of Hollywood. Though already well known amongst his colleagues for his notable skills at writing and directing, Frank Darabont emerges with his feature film directorial debut, The Shawshank Redemption. These elements, each equally important, must succeed independently, yet still form a harmonious union, because this mixture determines the fate of the artist's opus. Such a daunting task requires an extremely capable artist with an undeniable managerial capacity and an acutely developed awareness of each element of art in their films, the most prominent music, visuals, script, and acting. Can Hollywood, usually creating things for entertainment purposes only, create art? To create something of this nature, a director must approach it in a most meticulous manner, due to the delicacy of the process.
