Trivia

On the wall in Andy Dufresne's cell is a picture of Albert Einstein. Tim Robbins, who portrayed

Andy Dufresne also played in the fictional movie about Einstein, I.Q.(1994). See more

Goofs

Andy Dufresne is obviously a very intelligent man and fond of playing chess. However if you

ake a good look at the shot of the (nearly) completed chess board in his cell, you see thathe put up the chess board the wrong way. The board should be turned 90 degrees in order

o have the pieces stand right. The square on the lower left should be black, the one on theupper right too, which they are not, they are white. Anyone fond of playing chess would

never make that mistake. See more

Quotes

first lines]District Attorney: Mr. Dufresne, describe the confrontation you had with your wife the night

hat she was murdered.Andy Dufresne: It was very bitter. She said she was glad I knew, that she hated all the

sneaking around. And she said that she wanted a divorce in Reno.

Simply known as "The Movie"6 February 1999 | by chad millar(Madison, WI) See all my reviews

Whenever I talk about this movie with my friends, I do not even refer to it by title, but rather as "The Movie". When I say "The Movie", m

riends know exactly what I'm talking about. In fact the main reason that me and my friends don't refer to it by title is because this movi

so great, that we do not feel worthy enough to say it's name in vain! I still remember the first time I saw The Shawshank Redemption. So

riends of mine and I went to see it at one of those "Budget Theaters" over the summer of 1995. None of us really knew anything about t

movie, but we had heard that it was pretty good. So, not having any real expectations, we saw it. When the final credits rolled and the

ights came on in the theater, all of us just sat there with our jaws hanging down on the floor. I turned my head towards my friend Bob a

said "That was the greatest movie I have ever seen in my entire life!" There's really no other way I can put it in words. Every moment of movie captivated me and inspired me to believe in the one true thing in life...... "HOPE". This movie is sad, uplifting, inspiring, harsh, cold,

unny (at the right times), jaw-dropping, and heart-warming all at the same time. I get chills every time I watch this film and this film

contains the greatest ending (which takes place over the last 30 minutes or so)in movie history! How it all just "comes together" is so

ncredible and uplifting. I should also mention the music in this movie is nearly flawless as well, and the soundtrack is a "must buy" for any

music fan. The only bad thing about this movie is the fact that I know I will never see a better movie, no matter how many I may see. I'v

seen many movies over the past few years, many excellent films. However, every time I walk out of the theater, I turn to my friend or fam

member that I saw it with and I say, "That was a great movie, but it wasn't nearly as good as 'you know what'!" There have been many

movies over the past few years that thought would really move me or that I might one day call my "favorite of all time", but they've all fa

ar short of "The Shawshank Redemption". So, if you have yet to see this movie, please run to the video store immediately. You're

guaranteed to find it in the "employee picks" section. And if it isn't in that section, then you should tell the employees there that there is

something seriously wrong with them. If you have seen this movie, go see it again. If you haven't bought your own copy yet, buy one. In

act buy two, and put one in a fire-proof safe, just in case of an emergency. :o) So, you want a 1-10 rating??? I give it a 13!!!!!!
