SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION – A FEW OBSERVATIONS

I’m sure everyone agrees this is a great movie and yet I am left with questions when it comes to the character Red, played by Morgan Freeman.

I know full well this is a “fictional” story but with that said, the setting of the story is in the American South, sometime between the nineteen forties and the late sixties yet SOMEHOW Red is the only Black man in a prison full of white dudes!

Right there that would place this movie in the realm of Science fiction wouldn’t it ?

And for Red appearing to be such a meek character we have to assume he was a Bad Mamma Jamma to be as connected as he was.

The guards were hooking him up with the prime prison gigs and he was able to smuggle Andy’s “Rock Hammer” into the prison without even knowing what a Rock Hammer was!

That’s connected.

He was doing’ pretty good for being the only black guy in a Southern prison, right. And let’s not forget, by his own admission he was “the only guilty man In Shawshank.“ Bad Mamma Jamma!

Then, when he gets released (SPOILER) he picks up the package Andy left for him by the tree and he now has an envelope jam packed with fifty dollar bills,

Now I’m a black guy in Canada in the year twenty twenty four who has a hard time breaking a fifty without some major scrutiny. If I pulled out an envelope packed full of fifties, someone is going to be calling the Cops. And this is TODAY in Canada without evading parole OR a prison record!

Like I said Science fiction

Go figure
