Cinematography :• A lot of aerial views were really nice in creating a

setting which a viewer will notice immediately…

• Guards are not often shot personally and it helps them remain as guards…

• The scenes that are inside the prison are very dark as they make the viewer feel like they too are apart in the prison with the characters…

• Some shots during the roof scene are spectacular…

• The aesthetic and purposeful normality of things really adds to the atmosphere…

Theme that the film emphasised :• Many themes are explored in the film , however some

of them are not typical of a stereotypical movie.

• Themes explored:

Hope

Theme : HopeHope is set against its opposite despair. Most of the inmates are afraid of hope because they think it will destroy them. In contrast Andy didn’t give up hope. He believes hope gives people a reason to live, a sense of freedom.

He not only maintains hope himself but tries to give others the hope that life can and will get better, even in prison.

Quotes :• “Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set

you free”…

• The discussion between

Andy and Red reflect this..

Red dismisses Andy’s

desire to go to Mexico…

“Get busy livin’ or get busy

dyin”...

• “Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. It never dies. I'm hoping this letter finds you well”.

• By journeying to Mexico, Red chooses hope over despair. He hopes to be reunited with Andy and to have a future.

The movie has shown

what the will to live

and the hope

that goes with

that will can do.
