The focus of this review of the film "The Shawshank Redemption" is about the "innocent man in prison" theme. However, this film takes it in a different direction. While most prison films are centered around the yearning to escape from behind bars, this film shows many inmates adapting and accepting their place in prison. There are also example s of the inability of those same inmates to adapt back to the cutoms of society after being in prison for so long. Tragically one man is unable to cope and ends up committing suicide. This "innocent man in prison" theme takes a turn when Andy Dufresne, helps all of the guilty men to better themselves while in prison. He never gives up hope that his innocence will be proven. The presentation of this theme makes the movie one of the best prison movies that I have ever seen.
