The initial purpose of all feature films is to make money and entertain an audience. Feature films such as The Shawshank Redemption, a motion picture adapted from a novella written by Steven King, directed by Frank Darabont, also shows an accurate deconstruction of humanity and life experiences. The characters in this film portray the human experiences of hope, redemption, institutionalisation and dehumanisation. It is about how social reality becomes a human experience and shapes the defining qualities of human beings under tough circumstances. ... Andy Dufresne is a character who never gives up hope; he survives twenty years in the Shawshank prison and his optimism helps him endure though this experience of inhumane acts that occur in prison. ... When Andy enquires whether or not they are homosexual, Red replies with, “You have to be human first. ...
Institutionalisation is a human reaction to disciplined and structured environments, such as incarceration. ... This feature film presents a view of institutionalisation as a dependence on the organised system or hierarchy social structure.
