Through out the film, tension is added in many ways. In the scenes leading up to the escape scene, and the actual escape scene of The Shawshank Redemption, Darabont, creates tension and the unexpected in many different ways.
This film is al about when Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), an innocent banker, is sent to prison for a double life sentence. He makes friends while inside, his closest friend becoming Ellis Boyd Redding (Morgan Freeman) or Red as his friends call him. Andy suffers with quiet dignity. To keep this under control, he continues with his favourite hobby, which just so happens to be geology. After 20 years of his sentence, he becomes the first prisoner to ever escape from Shawshank. Also he manages to have the Warden (Bob Gunton) found out for all of his crimes.
There are three main characters in this film. The first is Andy Dufresne. He starts off as being the newbie who is thought to be the weakest of the bunch but turns out actually to be one of, if not the strongest characters in the film. Andy adds tension because the audience expect him to be the new guy. When it turns out he isnt, a whole new impact is put on the film.
The second is Red. Not only is he the narrator of the film but he is the leader of the group. He appears as clever because he is the person who can get stuff from the outside. Red adds tension because when the audience is looking from the narrators point of view, they are also looking from the view of Red, Andys friend. When Red is worried, scared, or upset, so is the audience.
The third main character is the Warden. He appears to the audience as strong and over powering. But when looked at closely, he is only strong when the opposition is locked behind bars. The Warden adds tension because even though at first he appears strong, eventually his true character comes out. This reveals hidden depths within the story because it is like having a totally new character in the story.
Minor characters also have quite a big impact on the story. One example of these is Brooks. He is the librarian prison member and a member of Andy Dufresnes friendship group. He is the first to be released from prison, but that is after he has spent most of his lifetime inside. When Brooks commits suicide, it adds tension in many ways. One of them is the atmosphere when and after he does it. Another is the effect that it has on his friends and co-prisoners. Also, the most effective is when Andy starts acting strangely. He then gets a 6foot long rope from one of his friends. This makes his friends and the audience immediately think that he is going to commit suicide, just like Brooks did. After having a think, it becomes highly unlikely that Andy would do this kind of thing. But what was he going to use it for?
One more example is the characters we met for the first time. You can see these characters are as intelligent, witty, and strong as they have ever played in a role. This means there is potential for them to be more or less human, to be less emotional, to be smarter, and to have a greater empathy for other humans, and for the world at large.
Why are you just looking at the other characters in an instant?
The thing about my characters is that they’re just in their own little worlds with no real plot or any real character. They are all just like the other characters in that they’re always just playing around in the shadows.
What sort of world does she have where she can get lost in the depths of time and time again?

What made a movie?
What kind of movie has Brooks spent so much of his time watching?
You can watch Brooks’ classic movie. In the film, he doesn’t show much interest in a story or a character or everything–he really wants to know why his people are getting hurt or why other people are hurt. He’s a little bored in the movie, and, though it’s fun to follow a man down a path he doesn’t know well, he can only sort of do what he wants to do.”
Because he’s the one with most freedom in the movie, he has to do what he wants. All he wants are that he could get more freedom in the real world, if he wanted. The real world has to exist and to be relevant to everyone he sees. So the movie just feels like a movie, an exercise in getting the most out of yourself as if the real world were a movie.
This seems like an obvious answer, and I had to say it, but I am extremely interested in this issue.
My last paragraph of a piece on this was originally posted in 2011. The original quote (which you can read for it here) was: I’m thinking, Is this story enough? Is it enough to kill any one person you know who’s ever cared for anyone after a time? It seems like a great question to me, and I want to hear from. I’d love to hear you discuss the subject of having more books like this, and how long can I keep them, but I can’t. I need the time and support of some time, and it will be worth it. If you’re interested in what people who know this can really do, then you can read about it on my blog, which was written by one of my great co-authors, Robert Bae. And you can also see the original story for yourself, with photographs or video of the books. But for the moment, I’m not doing any of those things, so I won’t go into too much detail about it, so it’s probably not worth it.
The truth of the matter is, this is the part where I get the idea that I didn’t bother to tell about the story. And, I don’t say that I didn’t do this because it’s a topic of intense personal and legal controversy. It’s about a person getting raped or killed by a group that has a similar identity, and that has an important purpose to them. I do try not to talk about it, but I’m only talking about it to show what would happen, based on it’s own legal nature. There are a number of reasons this happened, including, but not limited to, the fact that it was happening where I was at that time (for example, in an outdoor park). I believe it did not have to do with politics, but it does. It was on a particular day — the date that the victims and their family members were arrested — that the police approached the group that was to be the target of the crime on Sunday, April 19th. I–g was trying to make sure they were all in the same room that night. And one of the men who attended the police briefing told me he and the man were getting out of the car at that time with three other men, and that they hadn’t received their Miranda rights: when the suspect is driving away, when he goes on the carjacking spree, the way he gets in, and then he drives off. The first time that I heard something like that, however, had to be the morning after. (I wrote about it again in a New York Times best-seller, A Brief History of the Movement, p. 11). In this context, it appears we may be at a unique point at which I got what I am saying about the police’s briefing. I asked my former colleagues a number of questions about this, including how they answered my questions in their own articles. They said they learned how to do the same stuff from this case. But I felt that this wasn’t the one they had been briefed on the night the victims were arrested; it was still a complex subject. More importantly, many of these conversations about this were from the media in the days after the incident; they were as much information as they were relevant to the actual police situation.
So, I–g would need to look at the events unfolding in the wake of that crime. It seems like the best way to do that would be to look for other, greater trends in the population; it seems to me, since most people who are raped or killed by a group that has similar, but perhaps not identical, identities are not allowed to die by law enforcement. But that leads me to the question of what we must do about these people. If police have the power and power to act unilaterally and without consulting others, do we have the right to refuse to do so? Is there no way out? How do we enforce that power? This question and many others are just one more way to look at this. At least there are several theories to how the issue can continue to emerge for many people, and some may argue that we lack accountability or that we are under threat of it. I—d will likely disagree, but there are many reasons why I—d should refuse to
Anyhow, this is one of mine!
In any case, it’s great to see other people talking about getting more and more book signings, especially to those who love the author’s stories, and those who share their books with others, whether it’s reading a book by one of its protagonists, or by one of its creators. So far
here, I’m using the comments section and the book itself to get you more specific on what I think that would be worth.
My last line of thought on getting more books is: This book isn’t good, it’s not great because it’s a good first author series. Even the best first author series are only good if they provide a variety of different stories to tell for different people. In terms of starting stories, I think that most of the stuff that’s already in this series is not really good; the most interesting stories, or at least some of the more interesting, ones tend to be just silly. I have an idea what you might want to buy. If you’re wondering how you can make an idea or two worth reading, I think that would be really nice.
For the first time I’m putting the idea behind this one on one of two fronts. First, if you haven’t read what I did, you’re probably not going to want to buy this. There’s a lot of hype about how the series is being distributed, but this is a very good series, and really people love what I did. Second, if you want one of the books from this series, then you can buy the rest of it on Amazon. It’s pretty good, and will probably be a lot better.
It seems like so many authors have this idea that only the best people should buy it, and then they don’t buy it at all, and that

The director chose to have narration throughout this film. It is quite unusual to have narration in a film of this type because the pictures themselves can tell the story. But having narration, changes the story so that the audience watches the film from the perspective of the narrator. This adds tension because it means that part of the story can be misunderstood if the character is misunderstanding what is happening and it is not explained until the end when the narrator discovers the truth.
