On the chance that the post that started this line did not mention Andy DuFresne(sp?) in THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION I will hazzard the opinion that Andy's crawl through the sewer pipe (a place of death, a Sheol in Old Testament terms) and his subsequent emergence or resurection FOLLOWED by his striking crucifixion pose, makes him a Christ-figure with a profound twist. For an extensive review of SHAWSHANK that majors on the religious themes in the movie, see my review of it at http://www.mcs.com/~wcrc/movies.html John Schuurman ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
