Regarding Shawshank Redemption

ok i just watched it agaian last night and something's been bothering me

why did Warden Norton have Tommy killed?

it doesnt seem like he had any reason too, i know he's meant to be the whole sorta evil guy but it just doensnt make sense :choc:

Tommy knew who set up Andy and framed him for the murder. Tommy said that he had a cellmate that talked about how he had framed an accountant for the murder. Tommy was going to testify on what he heard for Andy so that Andy could get out of prison. Since Andy was doing all of the books for the warden where the warden was money laundering, he couldn't have Andy leave, otherwise he couldn't launder his money anymore. So he had Tommy killed and was able to keep his money laundering accountant.

...what he said.

Excellent movie. Classic.

ok i get it now, i just didnt get that through watching it, thanks FM and Sasquatch to a lesser extent :choc:

I just watched it over the weekend again. What a great movie.

Yeah, its a classic movie. Morgan Freeman does a great job in it.

Truly one of the finest works of cinema ever made.

Yeah it's onehelluva good movie :)

True, but did anyone actual see it in the cinema?

Really good movie.

I love this movie. My 5th form English class studied it a while back for a film study.

That's part of the magic for the film, hardly anyone did. It was a sleeper hit on vhs, with recommendations all spread solely by word of mouth, because it's just that damn good. But let's be honest, it's not really a cinema film anyway.

i was 5 when it came out, so no i didnt go see it at the cinema :P :choc:

If i saw the title "The Shawshank Redemption", i wouldnt see it either. the title wouldnt appeal to me, but i saw it on TV and thought it was amazing and now i got the 10th anniversary DVD set.

I have a strange obsession with this movie...
Maybe that's why I can get newbies ANYTHING, forks, spoons, ANYTHING...:rolleyes2
