When Andy is first locked up in his cell he is separated from society, he looses his physical freedom and is put in a confined space where his every move is watched. He is given a set of rules, which he must follow everyday for the rest of his life, he has to act with due restraint and if he doesn’t he is punished by the officers in charge. He makes efforts to volunteer to paint the rooftops of the prison and also fanaticizes about living by the sea once he gets out the prison. He wants freedom “from” the confinement he is in but his journey for freedom is not just physical he is always seen aspiring to be mentally free. The smallest of things make him the happiest person in the world such as watching his friends drink beer or the peace he gets when he plays music for the whole Shawshank to listen to, at those moments he achieves the spiritual and internal freedom he so desperately longs for.
From the moment Andy found the stone in his cell could be easily chipped away he knew it was his way out of Shawshank and his way out to freedom. Even if his inmates didn't know it- they were giving him means for escaping by providing him with posters to conceal the secret tunnel Andy was slowly digging. “When Andy asked for Rita Hayworth I told him I could get her for him.” The Warden further helped to develop the ideas of freedom and secrets when he performs a surprise inspection in Andy's cell. He notices the wall sized, pin-up poster of Rita Hayworth, but mildly disapproves “...I suppose exceptions can be made.” and does not confiscate it. The posters enable Andy to hide the secret tunnel by day and dig a handful of stone each night without causing suspicion.
Shawshank Redemption won an Academy award for best picture and best actor which was given to Morgan Freeman. Andy Dufrense seemingly the cold killer of his cheating wife and her lover, sits in court getting question by the court prosecutor answering them emotionless and nonchalant. The judge sentence Andy to two life terms in Shawshank Prison. When Andy reaches Shawshank he immediately catches the attention of the prison veteran “Red”. One day while in the prison yard Andy approaches Red for a small rock hammer, Red is the “Sears” of the prison, not only did Red gain a customer that day but he also gained a friend for life.
While Andy is serving his sentence he comes across a man named Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding, played by Morgan Freeman. Ellis is serving a life sentence and has become well customed to the traditions during his imprisonment. Red’s area of expertise inside the prison is the “import/export” business. Red’s first impression of Andy is that he is quite different from the average inmate, which of course works against Andy’s favour. As the movie continues Andy begins to befriend many of his fellow prisoners as well as the guard in order to reap the benefits only they could provide.
Shawshank Essay In recent discussions of The Shawshank Redemption, a controversial issue has been whether Andy Dufresne brought hope to the very unhopeful Shawshank Prison. On the one hand, some argue that Andy was able to bring and show hope to the inmates in a place where hope was hard to come by. On the other hand, however, others argue that Andy had no chance in bringing hope to Shawshank. In the words of one of this views main proponents, Andy writes, “Hope is a good thing… maybe the best of things.” According to this thought, Andy has full expectations of showing the inmates the importance of hope. In sum, then, the issue was whether Andy was able to bring them hope, or if the dreadfulness of Shawshank was too overwhelming.

When he came out of prison he had doubts about his innocence in the matter and was convinced that he was indeed a convict. “Under the whip, under the chain, in the cell...he recognized that he was not an innocent man, unjustly punished” (Hugo 23). Later in his life Jean Val Jean does overcome this and turns out to be a huge benefactor for his community, giving to the poor and providing many jobs. This however is done only with great resistance from society, as they do not accept convicts as normal people. Jean Val Jean had to conceal his identity in order to help people.
These scenes in the movie best exemplify the quotation to be true since the characters seek truth but faced conflict. Inspector Javert searched for Jean by doing whatever it took, only to realize that what he believed in was not always true. Javert’s belief is that no one ever changes. He believes that if Jean was once a convict, he will always be one. What he did not realize was that people could change.
