But King wrote some of the quirkiest things in passing, so it makes sense to attribute them to more central characters. In the book, Red tells story after story about Andy's time in prison and some people are only mentioned once. In terms of the other characters, several have been slightly altered, expanded, or combined with other characters in the film. The Shawshank Redemption was nominated for Best Picture in 1994, as was Darabont's adapted screenplay. Darabont also wrote the pilot for my newest addiction, The Walking Dead, which was adapted from a comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. He has adapted several of King's works with great success-this, The Green Mile, The Mist. Some of them did indeed come up in the story, but others were nowhere to be found and were actually from Darabont's screenplay.
I'd seen the movie tens of times before I sat down to read the novella upon which the film is based, ready to highlight all my favorite quotations when they came up. And Frank Darabont's ability to take King's words, characters, and themes and bring them to the big screen is just as noteworthy. Even after reading his nonfiction work, On Writing, about the writing process and his books, I'm still in awe of his ability to weave a compelling tale and think up random character traits. When it comes down to it, they both hit that sweet spot and are better than the other during the moment you are eating them. criminal justice system to dispense justice.Comparing the book and movie of The Shawshank Redemption is like comparing a warm chocolate chip cookie and a brownie right out of the oven. That no one ever holds Blatch accountable for Linda and Glenn’s murders-while Andy is wrongfully incarcerated for decades-demonstrates the failure of the U.S. Norton may even arrange Blatch’s early parole so that any lawyer Andy might hire won’t be able to find Blatch. When he tells Tommy’s story to Warden Samuel Norton, Norton-who wants to keep Andy in prison and laundering his money-claims not to believe it. Andy remembers a man matching Tommy’s description of Elwood Blatch working at the Falmouth Hills Country Club, which he and Linda attended and where Glenn Quentin was a golf instructor. After Tommy learns why Andy Dufresne is in Shawshank, he reveals to Andy that Blatch once bragged to him about murdering Glenn Quentin and Andy’s wife, Linda Collins Dufresne during a burglary.
Elwood Blatch, a violent burglar, is a large man, “mostly bald,” with “green eyes set way down deep in the sockets.” He shared a prison cell with Tommy Williams in Rhode Island, four years before Tommy is incarcerated in Maine’s Shawshank prison.
