Shawshank Redemption

Shawshank Redemption Shawshank Redemption portrayed the existence of systems and ways of living that can slowly encroach and ultimately dictate one’s course of life. It is stunning to see how the film was able expose a seemingly slow and excruciating. Yet, also a life-changing process of being confined inside a prison. The film had captured how routine and drear the life of a prisoner is. Their seclusion can be as simple as being alienated from the outside world. But as it turns out that such process is not just as unfussy as what it seems to be. Shawshank Redemption showed how different people can turn out and how things impinge on them, no matter how dawdling and slow its manner is. One can be like Andy, who seemed undisturbed, detached, and appeared like he did not care at all. When in fact he when been studying the whole order and even coming up with plans to escape. One can also be like Red, who just decided to go with the flow, doing what he’s good at, confused, and torn, until he opens himself up to other things like hope and redemption. But one can also be like Brooks, his entire life depended on the institution that he could not see himself not being in it. He thought that he’d rather not live at all if he could not be on the life he had been forced and known to live for the majority of his life. No matter how twisted and unjust that kind of life was. These prisoners are just like everyone else. There are those who choose to rise above the norm, rejecting what is unruly and even serving as an inspiration to other people. These men are few and far in between, but when found can motivate people who are uncertain to pursue a better life, a better perspective, a better them. But sadly, there are still those who just allow themselves to be encroached of the system that they become so dependent on it. These itself can become fatal. Social injustice can be clearly seen in the treatment of the prisoners. Ideally, all the prisoners should
