Stephen King has often lauded The Shawshank Redemption movie, but the King of Horror seems to have one weird complaint about the movie's big twist.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While many viewers and critics could not help but admire The Shawshank Redemption and its big twist, Stephen King had the weirdest complaint about it. Starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, The Shawshank Redemption unfolds as a rite of passage for a man who gets falsely convicted of murdering his wife.
While The Shawshank Redemption's initial box office was disappointing because of competition from other popular movies like Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump, it garnered a cult after it got seven Academy Award nominations. Over the years, The Shawshank Redemption's popularity has only grown from strength to strength. Stephen King, too, has often been vocal about how much he admires Frank Darabont's adaptation of his novella.
Why The Shawshank Redemption's Cartoonish Hole Actually Works While it is understandable where Stephen King is coming from, the cartoonish hole in The Shawshank Redemption seemingly serves a purpose in the movie's narrative. For starters, it clearly draws attention to what happened and immediately conveys how Andy escaped the prison to audiences. If the hole in the wall was not so evident, the impact of the twist would be dampened by confusion.
In many ways, the near-perfection with which Andy carves a hole in the wall also reflects his personality. Its cartoonish appearance is a direct contrast to the grim and oppressive environment of the prison, symbolizing how it serves a final gateway in Andy's undying quest for freedom.
