Shawshank Redemption

[MWB]

Somebody told me that the character "Red", played by Morgan Freeman is a ghost - an imaginary friend only Tim Robbins can see?????

Hmm, why would Andy leave a large sum of money next to that wall for a ghost?

leg pulling with bells on :)

Never heard this before, i think your friend is very wrong!

[Reverandfunk]

What about all the relationships Red has with other inmates? Did they imagine him as well??

Total garbage. Watch the film and you'll see what I mean.

The film is adapted from the novella 'Rita Hayworth - The Shawshank Redemption' told in the first person by Red, who as the nickname infers, is caucasian, with red hair - a fact overlooked by the film casting people - to no detriment of the movie what ever.

The book is one of the few seriously good adaptations of King's work - it is a wonderful story of optimism, and the genuine good to be found in even the worst places.

Your friend has either misunderstood the film, or is simply teasing you - but rest assured, Red is real - well, in the novella and film anyway!

I thought he was nicknamed Red because his surname was Redding?

?

[galltin]

In the film yes , to explain why he was called Red (as he didn't have red hair).

One of my favourite fils. Especially the narrative.

And a ghost couldn't carve his initials in the woodwork, or work in a supermarket??!!
