Shawshank+Redemption

Shawshank Redemption Andy and Red have many similarities such as they are both institutionalized which means you have been in prison so long that your use to asking the guards permission to do anything and being locked up. Most of the inmates at shawkshank share a common thing which is they all try and do things to regain humanity such as play chess, baseball, friendship. Andy gave everybody at shawkshank a taste of humanity when he played the Mozart song and Red gives everybody cigarettes, one might say that is an act of kindness. One of the differences Red and Andy have is Andy is so full of determination and hope and Red is disgusted by hope. Andy writes 2 letters a weak to get 500$ a year towards a library, digs a hole in his cell for 19 years and teaches Tommy how to read. Red told Andy he use to play music so Andy gives Red a harmonica as a gift but Red wont even play it. Andy and Red do many acts of friendship. Andy helps the guards with taxes, gets beers for his co workers, got inmates their high school diploma. When Red gets out of prison he goes through the same thing as Brooks, working at a grocery store living in a poor apartment and Andy gives him hope and reason to live in the real world by giving him money to go to Mexico. Shawshank Redemption was a good movie and it showed two strangers becoming friends looking out for each other and breaking out of their Institutionalized situation by doing small things to regain some humanity giving a connection to the real world.
