Notes

Hello Class,1.2. Overall I felt a lot of different emotions throughout the movie. At first, I felt bad for Andy because he, in fact, was fired for false reasons. I felt extremely happy once the jury came out saying he would be getting over 4.5 million dollars. Andy definitely deserved it although I had wished it would have been able to fully benefit him in getting the treatment needed. I felt extremely anxious during the trial scenes because I could feel the stress that there was in the courtroom. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to be psychically sick in that courtroom. 3. The thing I will most remember from this movie was how sick Andy got in such a short period of time. I always believed that it got worse over time but it seems like not even 3 months passed and he was at his worst. It will forever stick with me how serious this disease is. I definitely will be looking at this disease differently since watching this movie, it changed my whole perspective. I never knew it could sneak up on pretty much anyone that fast, and make them the sickest they've ever been. 4. My favorite character throughout the movie was definitely Andy. I loved how confident in himself he was. He knew the law and what had happened with his job was illegal and he took action. I also love the scene where he refused to go into the private study room in the library and insisted on being in the main area. It showed dominance and strength, which when having a disease is what people assume you lack most. I also really loved Andy's family because of how supportive they were of him. If Andy wanted to do it and it would make him happy them his parents would support his decision, which is heartwarming to see.  5. I'm not usually a fan of any type of musicals or music being in movies. Although, there were two scenes in this movie where I stopped specifically to listen to the music. Once during a transition scene and there was a random yet soothing melody that helped set up the next scenes serious tone perfectly. The second time where the music caught my attention was when Andy was having his opera moment and it lasted about 2/3 minutes. It grasped my attention because it was so loud as well as showed the emotion Andy seemed to be feeling. By the end of it, he was crying and I think so was I. 6.
