12. • Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne.
• Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, Andy's best friend and the
film's narrator; convict responsible for smuggling things inside the prison for
the inmates.
• Bob Guton as Warden Samuel Norton. He is well versed in the Bible and
presents himself as a pious, devout Christian and reform-minded
administrator, while his actions reveal him to be corrupt, ruthless, and
remorseless.
• William Sadler as Heywood, a member of Red's gang of long-serving convicts.
• Clancy Brown as Capt. Byron Hadley, chief of the guards.
• Gill Bellows as Tommy Williams, a young convict whose experiences in a
previous prison hold the truth about Andy's innocence.
• Mark Rolston as Bogs Diamond, the head of "The Sisters" gang and a prison
rapist.
• James Whitmore as Brooks Hatlen. Convicted prison librarian/trustee and one
of the oldest convicts at Shawshank, having been in prison since 1905.
CHARACTERS
13. • Shot inside USA
Mansfield Reformatory as The Shawshank state prison
• Beautifully composed sound tracks
• Oscars nomination for the category best sound and best
cinematography.
PRESENTATION
14. • Connecting with the audience.
• Nice film based on Stephen King’s novella “Rita
Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption”
• The scene where all the inmates are shown without any
clothes does absolutely nothing to support the film.
• Guards never happen to touch the Rita Hayworth poster.
• Critics argue that the role of Andy could have been
better performed by actors like Leo Dicaprio or Jhonny
Depp.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
15.
16. • The beautifully written novella has been magically
converted into a movie that succeeds to touch
everyone’s heart.
• A good movie for someone who enjoys the
smoothly flowing excellent script and beautifully
written dialogues.
CONCLUSION
17. • The only aspect in the movie where we can
imagine any improvements being made is the
part where the inmates were shown without
clothes.
• As the part doesn’t contribute to the betterment
of the film whatsoever, removing that scene
would make the film more appropriate for all
age groups.
• The role of Andy Dufrense is more suited for
actors like Jhonny Depp or Leo Dicaprio.
