Not many people realize that this movie is from a Stephen King short story titled “Hope Springs Eternal”. It is a great story. Gotta love Morgan Freeman. 500 yards could feel like half a mile if you’re going through a sewage tunnel.
In the beginning of the movie THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.this scene narrates the andy's situation in court.Enjoy the high quality videohope you like it, Be sur...
Of course the bad guy is a Christian. You'd never see the bad guy be any other religion.
Guess they just couldn't find the right actor to play a Nation of Islam prison warden from 1940s Maine.
Good response. Kobbs Hessler's comment was nonsense, particularly given the setting of the movie. Second half of his comment was just as nonsense, considering James Cameron's True Lies was released in the same year as Shawshank.
You are welcome to point out any movies in more recent years where the bad guy demonstrably practices any religion other than Christianity.
Btw, in Stephen King's original novella (on which the movie is based), "Red" was a white Irish guy, and the warden was not an unabashed Christian who commit suicide.
Stephen King hated the movie. But I can’t recall the reasons why.
Most likely because it was wildly awesome and successful and almost nobody associates it with him. He has had 5 stinkers for every carey/cujo.
