肖申克为好莱坞救赎
好莱坞是不是总是以商业目的来制造事物或艺术？若要创造一件真实自然的事物，一个导演就必须以一丝不苟的态度来接近事物本生，这归功于完美的过程。这样一件容易令人退缩的任务，要求绝对卓越的艺术家，他必须拥有无可置疑的管理能力和对于电影艺术中每一个元素精确的敏感度，无论是在音乐、视觉、剧情和表演上。每一种元素都是同等重要的，不仅个体而言能够保证成功，而且整体上来看，也要求和谐并成为一个整体。之所以如此，是因为这些都决定着艺术家的作品的命运。虽然Frank Darabont已经在他的业界内以他在编剧和导演方面已非常有名，但是，肖申克救赎却仍是他的处女作。虽然他以身为编剧的主要负责人，但Darabont仍竭力创作了最为收到认可的个体解放的实例在好莱坞的历史上。肖申克救赎确立了它自己的风格，否定了突变，激励了情感，把一个有艺术性有影响力的新纪元重新带回了好莱坞。
故事于一个年轻的银行家的审判开始，Andy Dufrense，被所谓“充分的证据”指控，最终定罪为谋杀妻子和她的情人。在快速的审讯之后，Andy意识到他将在肖申克监狱服终身监禁，没有任何的假释的机会，于是，他假装表面上仍存在于监狱中，但他的心已经飞出监狱。他的能力是他获得身边囚犯朋友们的信任，尤其是Ellis Redding。Ellis，也就是说是Red,因能够给牢内的其他囚犯提供违禁物品而发现他本身的价值，而Andy的行为和无可置否的对希望的信念使得Red开始重新审视他自己，以及他身边周围的世界。Andy向Red和其他囚犯证明，肖申克监狱的大墙内是找不到他们这辈子自己的家的。
通过创作这部影片的基金会，一丝不苟而轮廓鲜明的剧本为这部影片的成功奠定了基础。Frank用他对肖申克救赎同名小说《丽塔海尔沃斯和肖申克的救赎》的非凡改编，战胜了自己。在这本小说中，史蒂芬金证实了他能够打破他原有的写作风格，而建立一种新的无与伦比的现代文学风格。虽然电影在多方面都映射的小说本身，但Darabont更加入了一些事物本身客观存在的镜头，而小说中却一笔带过的，致使成为史上最为成功的小说翻拍成电影的典范。
Shawshank redeems Hollywood
Can Hollywood, usually creating things for entertainment purposes only, create art? To create something of this nature, a director must approach it in a most meticulous manner, due to the delicacy of the process. Such a daunting task requires an extremely capable artist with an undeniable managerial capacity and an acutely developed awareness of each element of art in their films, the most prominent; music, visuals, script, and acting. These elements, each equally important, must succeed independently, yet still form a harmonious union, because this mixture determines the fate of the artist's opus. Though already well known amongst his colleagues for his notable skills at writing and directing, Frank Darabont emerges with his feature film directorial debut, The Shawshank Redemption. Proving himself already a master of the craft, Darabont managed to create one of the most recognizable independent releases in the history of Hollywood. The Shawshank Redemption defines a genre, defies the odds, compels the emotions, and brings an era of artistically influential films back to Hollywood.
The story begins with the trial of a young banker, Andy Dufrense, victimized by circumstantial evidence, resulting in a conviction for the murder of his wife and her lover. After a quick conviction, Andy finds himself serving a life sentence at Shawshank prison, with no hope of parole. He exists in this prison only in appearance, keeping his mind free from the drab walls around him. His ability to do this results in the gaining of respect from his fellow inmates, but most of all from Ellis Redding. Ellis, commonly referred to as Red, finds gainful use of his entrepreneurial spirit within the drab walls of Shawshank by dealing in contraband and commodities rare to the confines of prison. Andy's demeanor and undeniable sense of hope causes Red to take a deeper look at himself, and the world around him. Andy proves to Red and the other inmates that in the conventional walls of Shawshank prison convention will find no home in his lifestyle.
By creating the film's firm foundation, the meticulously chiseled screenplay paved the way for this film's success. Frank Darabont outdoes himself with the phenomenal adaptation of Stephen King's equally noteworthy novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. In this novella, King demonstrates that he can break free from the genre he dominates and still create a marvelous piece of modern literature. Though the film mirrors the novella in many ways, Darabont illustrates a focused objective of improving upon the areas where the novella came up short, resulting in one of the best book to film transitions ever.
