Jerlene Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 This is one of my favourite movies of all time. It's a really long movie and is really only for people who like a good story. There's no action in it or anything so it's just the story that holds you. Does anyone else love this movie? How do you interpret the last scene?

The Blackangel Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I absolutely love the movie. I have since it came out, and have watched it only about a billion times. It's one of the greatest works of cinema ever created. Stephen King is an astounding writer, with one of the most amazing creative minds of our generation. But I have to say that his dramas are leaps and bounds ahead of his horrors, and his horrors are the leaders of the pack. Granted there are a lot of good horrors out there, but none compare to the creativity of anything King has created. have you also seen The Green Mile? I can't decide which is better between The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. But if I was forced to pick, it would probably be Shawshank.

Jerlene Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 My sentiments exactly! I love Stephen King. Of course I've seen Green Mile. I've also read the [really long!!!] book. I think I would choose Shawshank as well though. How do you interpret the last scene of the movie? Was it just Red dreaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I adore The Shawshank Redemption -- what a film! It's definitely up there with my favourite movies of all time as well. Personally, I think it's leaps and bounds ahead of The Green Mile. I wasn't that enamoured with The Green Mile tbh. Another Stephen King drama adaptation that I love is Stand By Me. Wonderful piece of filmmaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Red actually did get paroled. But I always thought the old woman at the end of Titanic was asleep and dreaming at the end, whereas most people said she died and was in her own personal heaven. 1 hour ago, DylanC said: I adore The Shawshank Redemption -- what a film!

Jerlene Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 I believe Red got paroled, too. But I also believe that maybe he dreamed of meeting up with Andy, or the director wanted to give off that illusion, when really he hung himself just like Brooks did.
