What does the movie the Shawshank redemption have to do with the teaching of plato and aristotle?
I have to write a paper on this and I'm totally lost does anyone know what the two have in common?
the film is about an accountant who gets wrongly convicted of his wifes murder and is sentenced to life. whilst in prison he uses his skills to launder money for the guards and the prison govenor. eventually he transfers the wardens money to a different bank account and escapes the prison by using a tunnel he dug over many years with a small tool for craving rocks.
Plato and Aristotle were both greek philosophers. My best guess is the link would be something like human spirit in the face of adversity, persistance never to give up, or maybe from the wardens point of view - never trust an inmate, even if totally innocent of the charge.
There's an old saying ' if you kiss a thief - count your teeth' , (applies to the warden) the link below is Plato and what he did/taught/thought about. Id watch the film if i were you, then read up on plato, good luck, thats the best i can do

Silly question. But in the Shawshank Redemption he crawls through a sewage pipe for 500 yrs "just short of a mile" and its kind of narrow e.g. two times the width of Tim Robins. Would the fumes kill or poison someone if they tried it in real life?
Sorry, I mean yards not years lol.
It would not be a pleasant trip but it could be done.
i am just begining to study psychology and have been asked to watch the film the shawshank redemption and write up what i found out about it. maybe like how it can relate to psychology or any issues that i may notice or how different people react. i have absouloutely no idea what to write about or how to word it so any suggestions would be good lol 10 points to whoever helps me the most!!!! ty :)
ps. i watched the film last night
The banker, Andy, acts subservient to the warden and helps the warden make money, yet Andy is smarter than the warden. He digs his way to freedom and drops stones outside (from the hole he dug in the wall). Andy is innocent and this movie shows that justice is sometimes blind. Andy was convicted of something he didn't do. If you are innocent, you have every right to gain your freedom no matter how you have to do it. The warden's greed turns against him. The lifer (Morgan Freeman) befriends Andy and even though he is not sure if Andy is completely trustworthy, he still goes to the field and finds the money Andy left to him. It is a story about friendship, justice, hope and greed. The lesson in this story seems to say that "what you see isn't always what it is". The warden thought Andy was a subservient criminal and even Morgan Freeman's character thought that Andy wouldn't survive in the prison. Yet, the human resilience found in Andy proved them both wrong and Andy escaped. Justice prevailed.
It's a famous scene in the awesome movie Shawshank Redemption, Andy Dufrain puts on a record over the intercom and it puts the prison in a trance. Then Morgan Freeman starts narrating...good scene, great movie.

How did the prisoners (Andy Dufresne and Edmund Duntes) felt after and before getting rescued?
What is a good conclusion about the comparison between the prisons in these two movies: The Shawshank Redemption and the Count of Monte Cristo?
Both were incarcerated although innocent; both of them had jailers WHO ENDED UP DISCOVERING THAT THEY WERE INNOCENT and yet kept them there anyway. I'm sure the hopeless injustice of the situation was felt by both.
Both jailers kept them incarcerated for personal reasons: Andy's for money, Edmund's to keep his job.
I don't think there is a good comparison after they were "rescued." For one thing, neither of them were rescued - they both escaped. Andy just wanted to get away and stay far away. Edmund bent his mind to revenge - and eventually got it.
