Rebecca Daly Development of Film Research Paper 5/1/14 Shawshank Redemption: A Reflection of its Time Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 prison drama directed by Frank Darabont. The film was adapted from a novella written by Stephen King called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The story was published in his 1982 from King’s collection Different Seasons, subtitled Hope Springs Eternal. Shawshank stars Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, and many other talented actors. This film is a reflection of its period in two ways; it perfectly exemplifies what effect the rise of cable TV and videos had on the film industry, and is a mirror to social issues at the time revolving around religion and prison systems. Shawshank takes place in 1947 Maine and follows the story of a banker named Andy Dufresne who is wrongfully accused of murdering his wife and her lover. He is given two life sentences and sent to off to Shawshank Prison. Although he has trouble when he first arrives because of his cold and standoffish demeanor, he begins to make friends with an inmate named Red who runs a “business” in Shawshank where he smuggles certain items from the outsidecigarettes, alcohol, magazines, etc. Andy asks Red to get him a rock hammer so he can practice his hobby of rock sculpting. Over the first few years in Shawshank, Andy becomes good friends with Red and a few other men, although he also runs into some serious trouble with some other inmates called “The Sisters” who rape, beat, and harass him regularly. However, Andy’s luck changes after the chief guard Byron Hadley discovers that Andy is an extremely intelligent and talented banker. Andy starts to give financial help to the Warden and the guards and he begins to become very favored in Shawshank. To help Andy out, Hadley and some other guards beat up the leader of The Sisters so badly he is left paralyzed and has to transfer to a different prison. Andy continues to work for the Warden as well as significantly improve the prison’s library. Over the years, he witnesses an enormous amount of cruelty and corruption among the guards and the Warden especially. Eventually, Andy decides to escape Shawshank by crawling through a tunnel hidden by his Rita Hayworth poster that he had been carving in the wall with his rock hammer for the past fifteen years. He brings the Warden’s paperwork and clothes in a bag, and the next morning goes to a bank to take out money under a false identity. Andy sends a letter to the newspaper exposing the corrupt practices of Shawshank and leaves for Mexico where Red meets him after he finally gets paroled. Starting in 1975 with the release of Jaws , the film industry began to move away from the New Hollywood age and onto the high grossing films of the Blockbuster. Blockbusters were all about the theme of good vs. evil and heroes (who were always white) and villains (who were almost always of some other ethnic background). Blockbusters strived to put on a huge spectacle and be something that the whole family could enjoy. These films were vastly different than the previous ones of New Hollywood which were more complex and required more engagement than just sitting in front of a screen watching a bunch of special effects and lavish spectacles. People began to figure out that through synergy, films can bring in huge amounts of revenue. Studios began to be integrated with media conglomerates so the number of companies that controlled the media became smaller and smaller. According to author of The Media Monopoly Ben H. Bagdikian: “In 1983, fifty corporations dominated most of every mass medium and the biggest media merger in history was a $340 million deal. … [I]n 1987, the fifty companies had shrunk to twentynine. … [I]n 1990, the twentynine had shrunk to twenty three. … [I]n 1997, the biggest firms numbered ten and involved the $19 billion DisneyABC deal, at the time the biggest media merger ever” The film industry was becoming more of an industry than ever, and less of an outlet for creative expression and innovation. As the 90’s began, high budget blockbusters were still extremely prominent in the film industry, although indie films were also gaining notoriety. Directors like Quentin Tarantino began producing extremely successful indie flicks such as Pulp Fiction, which was nominated for Best Picture along with S hawshank at the 1995 Academy Awards (although both films lost to Forrest Gump ). Shawshank did not in any way resemble the blockbuster; it presents itself in a slower, quieter fashion and is a very clever film with a lot of underlying messages. It requires a higher level of attention and one may need to watch it more than once to pick up on all of its undertones. It was a low budget film that cost around 25 million dollars, and was directed by a relatively new director. The film did not seem very appealing who would want to go to the theaters and sit through a 2 ½ hour prison drama? There were virtually no women in the entire cast, no huge Hollywood actors, no exciting special effects or intense action scenes. Shawshank failed to even make back its budget, grossing around 18 million at the box office initially. Although it was nominated for seven Academy Awards, it was completely overshadowed by Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. Shawshank was a true underdog. However, word of mouth began to create buzz for the film, and thanks to a shift in the media industry Shawshank made a triumphant comeback. It is because of the rise of cable TV, videos, and the internet that Shawshank eventually gained enormous popularity years after it was released. In the 80’s, the number of cable networks began to steadily increase until the 90’s where they suddenly rose at an enormous rate. Cable technology improved and direct broadcast satellite television provided viewers with more channels. By the late 90’s, 98% of homes in the U.S. had one or more television sets that were usually on for several hours a day. Ted Turner sold the rights to Shawshank to his own network, TNT, for a considerably lower price. Because of this, the station was able to play the film very often, and made Shawshank part of its “New Classics” campaign. Thanks to IMDB and other websites that emerged dedicated to spreading the word about Shawshank , its popularity continued to grow. Warner Brothers shipped 320,000 rental copies of the film to video stores all over the U.S., and it became the most rented film of 1995. In 1999, The Wall Street Journal Published an article called Shawshank’s Redemption, How a Movie Found an Afterlife. The story explained that even though Shawshank won no Oscars and initially received mixed reviews and little hype, many people regard it as one of the best movies ever made. In an IMDB survey of thousands of people, Shawshank was voted the #1 movie of all time. It is pretty astounding that a movie that did not do terribly well at the box office would even make it in the top ten movies, let alone land at the top of the list. One answer to this can be summed up well by Tim Robbins (Andy Dufresne): “Why has it endured? ... The reason why it’s had a profound impact on people has a lot to do, I think, with its spirit, and the hope within it. The idea that over a long period of time, someone’s ambitions can come true, that resilience and persistence pay off.” The plight of the film and its success can be compared to Andy’s plight throughout the entirety of Shawshank . One of the strongest messages of the film is the idea that through hope and perseverance, one can prevail. Andy comes into Shawshank a quiet, unimpressive man who has to endure the harshness of prison life until the day he dies. However, he continues to have hope that he will one day be free despite many setbacks and his friends telling him that hope is a dangerous thing. In the end, Andy finds a way to escape prison and lives out the rest of his life in beautiful Zihuatenejo, Mexico. Just like Andy, Shawshank’s beginnings seemed rather dismal and hopeless, however throughout the years the “little film that could” slowly gained popularity and is now regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time. Since Shawshank Redemption was released in 1994, it is important to have a basic understanding of society and culture in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The 80’s were largely influenced by the policies brought about by President Ronald Reagan who was in favor of tax

The Division of the G.O.C. Into Factions The first division among the Old Calendarists occurred in 1936, when three of the seven bishops returned to the New Calendarist State Church of Greece. The fallen hierarchs were Metropolitan Chrysostom Demetriou of Zacynthus, Bishop Christopher Hatziz of Megara and Bishop Polycarp Liosis of Diaulia. The remaining hierarchs of the Synod of the Genuine Orthodox Church of Greece were Metropolitan Germanus Mavromatis of Demetrias, Metropolitan Chrysostom Kavouridis of Florina, Bishop Germanus Varykopoulos of the Cyclades and Bishop Matthew Karpathakis of Bresthena. The second division among the Old Calendarists also occurred in 1936, when the government‐recognized entity of the “Religious Community of the Genuine Orthodox Christians” (a group of laymen theoloigians without any bishops or priests) severed communion with the President of the Holy Synod, Metropolitan Germanus, and also severed communion with all the remaining hierarchs of the Synod, and went off alone, forming a parasynagogue. The third division among the Old Calendarists occurred in September 1937, when Bishop Matthew of Bresthena severed communion with the Synodal President, Metropolitan Germanus, and instead formed his own party, and took over the leadership of the schismatic “Religious Community of the Genuine Orthodox Christians” which had severed communion from the Church a year earlier. Bishop Matthew left for ecclesiological reasons. The fourth division occurred in October 1937, when Bishop Germanus of the Cyclades severed communion with the President of the Holy Synod, Metropolitan Germanus of Demetrias, and instead joined Bishop Matthew. The fifth division occurred in 1942, when Bishops Germanus of the Cyclades and Matthew of Bresthena severed communion with one another due to dogmatic reasons. Bishop Germanus of Cyclades condemned Bishop Matthew for his writings and publications, which included a statement that if it were not for the birth of St. John Chrysostom, there would have needed to be a “second incarnation of Christ,” and another statement that Christ’s teeth were supposedly broken, etc. Bishop Matthew retaliated against this by stating that Bishop Germanus was guilty of blaspheming against King Abgar’s letter to Christ, and the response from Christ to Abgar, and for mocking the “symbols of the Theotokos” that Bishop Matthew had published in his book “Garden of Graces.” The sixth division among the Old Calendarists occurred in 1943, when Metropolitan Chrysostom of Florina severed communion with the Synodal President, Metropolitan Germanus of Demetrias, due to political reasons. In other words, by 1943, there were four Old Calendarist bishops, and four factions! Each of the four bishops was the “president” of his own faction. Unfortunately, these hierarchs managed to preserve themselves from new calendarism, but they fell into the passion of factionalism, a passion that still runs wild among the Old Calendarist hierarchs even today. This is what occurs when bishops are led by their passions, make hasty decisions to condemn their brothers, and make themselves leaders of their own parties. In 1946, this factionalism began to come to an end when Bishops Christopher and Polycarp returned to the Old Calendar and joined the Synod of Metropolitan Chrysostom of Florina. Soon after this, Bishop Germanus of the Cyclades also began meeting with the above three bishops for the sake of reuniting all the factions of the Old Calendarists of Greece. However, he was placed in prison from 1947 to 1949, and it was not until he was released that he joined formally with the Synod of Metropolitan Chrysostom of Florina. The only bishop who remained separated was Bishop Matthew of Bresthena, mainly for ecclesiological reasons, but he was much more open to unity than were those immediately surrounding him. The below photograph is of Metropolitan Chrysostom of Florina and Bishops Germanus of Cyclades, Christopher of Megaris and Polycarp of Diaulia in 1946, when the factionalism began to end and a united Synod began to form again (with the exclusion of Bishop Matthew who did not meet in person with any of the remaining hierarchs).
