    You might not know a lot of people but when it comes to knowing masses you'd know that some people look much older than they are and some look younger. Some people in certain groups look around the same though the limit be around 10 years apart. He looked a lot older than 50? But that doesnt indicate that he was around 70 for the age of retirement and being that he was in prison most of his life he probably didnt gain enough credit to get retirement.
    That's why I think it's unfair that he was paroled at such an old age

            Wonderful film and a favorite. I usually watch it whenever it's on; however, I was watching Lisey's Story episode 1 on Apple TV. Should have watched Shawshank.

                Pretty terrible. Great actors, great cinematography, lousy pacing and a jumble of storyline.

                    When you watch it for the very first time and don't know the twist ending, it is great.
                    Then it just gets better and better when you know what will happen.

                      Im not sure is the twist ending that I like. I think I like all of it. It is never really bad. Just some really depressing parts but the film itself as a whole is quite good. From top to bottom. Easily rewatchable.

                        I like it how Andy is just gone.
                        Starting with how quickly Red comes out and looks down and doesn't see him because he is worried that Andy is dead after asking for that rope.
                        Then the Warden throws that rock at the poster making a hole and you hear the rock trickle down the hole.
                        Sticks his hand through the poster and there is the hole.
                        LOL!

                          yea I like that scene and was just watching it but I later thought about it. It doesnt make any sense? He is going to be digging for about 19 years and nobody would notice all the dust and rocks under and around the wall? Nobody would check the poster? Nobody would notice these huge holes on the other side? Nobody is going to hear the noise he makes for 19 years and is he really going to take all the rocks and dust to the outside by his pants and then again nobody is going to notice his pants full of dust and rocks and when he is outside nobody is going to see the dust and rocks he is piling up outside? All of this 19 years and then at the end nobody notices he is wearing other shoes. The many times he got caught in trouble or they hated him nobody thought about wrecking his room and destroying it all catching something suspicious in the act? All of this for 19 YEARS!!? Where he might've even gotten paroled in the last one. All of this effort and countless sleepless nights for one year? Makes no sense.

                                  yea goes with the story and to add to that angle. He of course was never transferred to anywhere. Even for bad or good behavior. It was his own private room where nobody touched anything and people fell for the hammer in the book trick.

                                    He of course also couldve been lucked that he had somehow the corner or the wall where it lead to the escape but for 19 years nobody checked that section even for repair or maintenance which somehow lead him free.

                                      Well, ya know… movies.
                                      LOL
                                      And what else makes it unbelievable is that his cell remained untouched for the two months he was in solitary?
                                      There are little things in public IRL one can do without getting caught.
                                      For example I have been writing the words, "Collecter's Item" on Aunt Jemima products in a groc. store for my own grins and giggles.
                                      I have done it more than once and have yet to be caught.
                                      There are other little things I have done in public, that I cannot think of at the moment, that were not exactly illegal but I might have gotten into trouble if I had been seen.
                                      So I think Andy can get away with little things such as cleaning up and getting rid of the dirt in the yard.

                                          Yeah, that is what I am talking about!
                                          I have no doubt that prisoners do little things in prison all the time where either they don't get noticed or no one cares.
