Been re-watching bits here and there as it replays on a cable movie channel.
I just wonder how long it took Red to find the hayfield and would it really have been possible?
If you watch carefully it's doesn't like it would have been spotted in any way easy off the road.
It looks like a field behind another field or more.
I'm sure it took him hours.
Maybe even more than a day.
Could he have spent the night somewhere sleeping in a field?
In the movies, sure, he finds it.
But how possible would it have been for him to find it IRL?

I always thought it was a bit of a stretch that the field hadn’t changed in the decades Andy Dufresne was in prison. No lightning struck the tree or the farmer sold the land or just some random kids moved a few rocks and found the case themselves? Hard to believe that.

I think this has occurred to most people. There is a Family Guy episode that actually points that exact thing out.

The Goofs page for that is funny. www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/goofs?ref_=tttrv_ql_2When Red violates his parole at the end of the film he says "for the second time in my life, I've committed a crime." However, Red committed numerous crimes while incarcerated due to his smuggling of contraband into the prison. If the poster of Raquel Welch was only secured at the top, then it would react to pressure changes in the tunnel as soon as it breached the wall of the utility corridor. Therefore it would either flap or if the bottom of the poster was secured, it would dimple. Either way, it would make noise, which would undoubtedly attract the attention of guards. At the end of the film, Andy is shown to have planned his escape down to the last detail, and only enacted his plan once it was clear he could never legitimately prove his innocence and be released from prison. However, Andy seems to have never planned for being actually released, in that he would have immediately faced additional charges once his cell had been cleared out and his unused escape hole had been inevitably discovered. When the warden opens Andy's Bible from the safe, he opens it to the bookmark in Exodus to find the cutout where Andy hid his rock hammer. Exodus is the second book in the Bible, so there'd only be a few pages (Genesis) above the cutout. But when the warden drops the Bible to the floor, it falls open to the bookmarked page. Now about half the pages are each side of the bookmark, with one half cut out and the other not. |
