The Shawshank Redemption

In this link, the author discusses a general overview of The Shawshank Redemption, and mentions the different themes discussed in the film.

The author states that the film deals with perseverance and sacrifice, but also about joy and hope.

The author also discusses how the director, Frank Darabont, keeps his work simple by using "by-the-book structure" and techniques for this film.

The author ends by stating, "It’s all about how Earthly friendship and human connection are crucial for the heart, but faith – in whatever form – is good for the soul. That’s why Shawshank has found such a universal audience connection: because it expertly uses a straightforward moral-bound story to carry such weighty baggage."
