![]() The last thing I liked more about the film is that they showed how Andy escaped whereas in the book, as Red is telling the story it is only speculation. Considering what an ass he was, I really wanted to see him get his comeuppance. In the movie, he kills himself but in the short story he quietly retires. The other thing I did not like about the book was that I didn’t feel like there was any justice where the warden was concerned. ![]() It captured everything perfectly and because I already knew how Andy escaped, the novel held no surprise for me. I should note before I begin this review, that it is partially a comparison between the book Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and the film it was based on. While it does not play as prominent a role as Rita Hayworth it is still an important aspect to Andy Dufresne’s story. ![]() This was not only due to my love for the novel’s film counterpart but also because I have been to Zihuatanejo Mexico several times. I finally decided to read the short story it is based on. It is a fantastical story of innocence and escape and is well presented on the screen. The Shawshank Redemption is a film I have watched countless times. ![]()
