I'm not sure if i'd agree with parts of Wbogacz answer. The Humility part specifically. I always got a more resigned vibe from Red. He doesn't believe that the board will really grant his parole, and as such doesn't see the point in lying to them. He is honesty, sincere and expresses true regret for his actions, rather than trying to convince the board ...

This is purely my opinion on parole, and may not be the opinion of the scene's author:Parole is a play, acted out by two battle-weary combatants - the parolee who wants to get out his prison cell at all costs, and the bureaucrat who wants to get out of his prison cell at all costs, too. Remember prison confines those on both sides; the prisoner's walls are ...

I've done some more digging on this according to moviequotesandmore When the top of the pipe is broken open, it shoots a fountain, indicating that it is pressurized (if only by gravity). But then the pipe drains nearly empty. It should only have drained to the lowest point in the hole broken at the top. and there's an even more detailed discussion on ...

There are two elements to this 1) The whole story is told from the perspective of Red, who wasn't there at the time and told it with dramatic effect. 2) The pressure may have built up and the explosion was a sudden release, afterwards the pressure was less. Either way, it is pretty unpleasant.

Warden Norton sees the poster when he checks his cell. He says; I can't say I approve of this but I suppose exceptions can be made. Because he wants to use Andy with his money laundering business and he doesn't want to disturb him very much. Also he wants Andy to think of himself as a privileged prisoner. If normal prisoner hung this poster, the Warden ...

No one looks under the poster because for many years Andy was a model prisoner & he was helping out the warden with his shady schemes. He also endeared himself to the guards too, and he never gave any indication that he wanted to break out of prison, so he was left alone and neither the tunnel nor his hammer was ever discovered.

These are multiple ways that Andy hid his escape. The first and possibly the most obvious was the poster he used to hide the hole, as illustrated by Soner and Paul. However, there are a few other reasons why it went unnoticed. The first was that he did it very gradually over time. It took him years to make the hole. The second was that he was using the ...

My guess is that he would have had to go ahead and break the pipe anyway (as you point out, he has already carried out his plan past the point of no return). The thunder provided a way to mask the sound and give him more chances to open the pipe, but if there had been no storm, he probably would have still broken open the pipe and hoped that either no one ...
