Stephen King wrote the novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" in 1982, as part of his collection called "Different Seasons." This novella served as the basis for the iconic movie "The Shawshank Redemption," which was released in 1994.

Red, played by Morgan Freeman in the film Shawshank Redemption, is introduced as a long-time inmate at Shawshank Prison. He serves as a mentor to the main character, Andy Dufresne, and helps him navigate prison life. Red is known for his resourcefulness and ability to procure items for other inmates through his connections.

"Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption" was published in Stephen King's novella collection "Different Seasons."

"The Shawshank Redemption" is actually a novella written by Stephen King, titled "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." It was published as part of a collection of stories in 1982. The story has not won any major literary awards as a standalone work.

The budget for "Forrest Gump" is estimated to be $55,000,000 and grossed a whopping $678,226,465 worldwide ($623,226,465 profit).

On the other hand, the budget for "The Shawshank Redemption" is estimated to be $25,000,000 and grossed $28,884,716 worldwide, which is significantly worse in comparison to Forrest Gump ($3,884,716 profit).

So, yes, Forrest Gump beat out The Shawshank Redemption in terms of profit and budget.

However, the quality difference is a different matter and it is subjective. In my personal opinion, The Shawshank Redemption is superior to Forrest Gump but ultimately it is up for debate.

Stephen King has written over 60 books, including "Carrie," "The Shining," "It," "Misery," "Pet Sematary," and "The Stand." His works span various genres such as horror, supernatural fiction, and suspense.

I have no idea The aria, Che soave zeffireto, (I'm sure) is sung by Gundula Janowitz and Edith Mathis, from an old performance conducted by Karl Bohm. It was recorded in 1968 and has been reissued on Deutsche Grammofon. A good but not outstanding performance.

Guy Dufresne died in 1993.

Red's full name is Ellis Boyd Redding in The Shawshank Redemption.

We see Andy break through his lack of hope in the portion of the film wherein Andy broadcasts operatic music through the prison, is sent to serve a week in 'The Hole' and returns to his friends.

He discusses with his friends that he felt much more at ease, and he would even term his solitary confinement 'easy' as he was filled with renewed hope. Music had set him free, for it was the one thing they could never take away from him. This event symbolised the emancipation of Andy, and the discovery by Andy of the redemptive power of hope.

Good overcomes evil, and justice prevails.

Andy uses a rock hammer to dig a tunnel so he can escape from Shawshank Prison.

The movie is dedicated to Allen Greene, the agent and close friend of Frank Darabont, the movie's director and screenwriter. He died of AIDS complications just before the completion of the movie.

He is questioned by the Warden about his disappearance, he also has a rock sculpture thrown at him.

Double life, it can be conjected that that is two 25 years sentences, 50 years in total.

crows normally represent death or death soon to come. they're bad omens and supposedly they have the souls of demons.

Well, sorry to say this to the recent answer but a crow in many countries represents intellegence and often back in the past the people with the last name crow were thought to be pranksters and did bad things not nessicarily evil

Stephen King wrote the novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption on which the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption is based. It appears with three other novellas in a book called "Different Seasons".

Tommy is an inmate who arrived at Shawshank in 1965. He is the one who knows of a story that proves Andy is innocent.

*Spoiler Alert*

At the end of Shawshank Redemption, the main character (Andy) escapes prison through a tunnel he dug in his cell wall. He hid the tunnel with a poster so no one saw it. After that, Red (Andy's best friend in prison) is paroled, and goes to meet Andy in Mexico.
