Corrected entry: When placed in solitary confinement Andy tells the warden that "everything stops", meaning that he intends to stop working on the corrupt financial schemes in operation at the prison. Why on earth would an intelligent man like Andy Dufresne make such a threat? There is no hint that he is bluffing, even though he must surely know that he cannot meaningfully threaten the warden, a man who has absolute power over life and death in the prison and even that is beside the point! The financial schemes operated by Andy are there to ensure HIS prosperity, not that of the warden. "Stopping everything" would deprive him of the key to his new life in Mexico. By the time he is sentenced to solitary confinement Andy's escape plans are very advanced; he must be at least two thirds of the way through the prison wall by that stage. His picking up the funds deposited in false names in banks throughout the area is an absolutely essential part of his escape to Mexico and it would be pointless and stupid for him to endanger it in any way, or even to threaten to do so. It is essential that he stays in his "one bunk Hilton" and maintains his access to the warden's financial dealings, and he would know that.
Correction: It's not just because he was thrown in solitary. His friend was also just killed by the guards and Andy knows it was a set up. He was helping Tommy get an education and taken a mentor role over him. They had grown close and he was legit making a difference in someone's life. Only to then be thrown in solitaire and have this friend killed. He was emotionally destroyed by this and was the tipping point.
Corrected entry: Andy leaves his prison shoes behind in a shoe box for the warden to look at as the escape siren begins to sound. He wears the warden's polished shoes while returning to his cell the night before. As Andy lowers himself onto the sewer pipe after coming through the wall, you can see he is wearing his "high-top" leather prison shoes and is not barefooted or wearing the warden's shoes before he breaks into the sewer pipe.
Correction: Andy has a lot of influence at the prison. Getting a spare pair of shoes and keeping them in his cell would be nothing to him.
Nothing hints to that, not when he's packing his stuff to show him putting his new shoes in the bag or anything. No hint about the shoes whatsoever. It was a mistake and that's that.
Corrected entry: When Andy escapes from Shawshank, and we see the shot when he first comes out of the sewer pipe, watch his bag that he tied to his ankle. It appears to float. Considering that Andy packed up his Stone Chess set in this bag, it's very unlikely that the bag would float even in the slightest.
Corrected entry: When Andy makes his way through the sewer he takes Norton's clothes with him in a small bag tied to his ankle. It's hard to believe that on the next morning the same clothes are in clean mint condition when empties out Norton's accounts. (01:54:00)
Correction: Andy probably ran a lot of errands that morning, including the cleaning of the Warden's suit. He very easily could have bought some street clothes, had the suit cleaned, and even picked out the convertible he wanted, all before visiting the banks to clean out the cash.
Corrected entry: The film is supposed to take place in Maine, but the city Buxton where Red is looking for the hay field is actually in Ohio.
Correction: This is not news. Nearly every movie made in the past three decades is filmed "on location" which could be anywhere.
Correction: There's a Buxton in Maine too.
While true, that's not what the mistake is saying. The mistake is pointing out that filming took place in Ohio, so the scene of Red in Buxton, ME is actually him in Ohio. There is no Buxton, OH.
1) If that was the intention, then the mistake is badly worded. I also would interpret it to mean there is a Buxton in Ohio and not one in Maine. 2) If that is the intent, it is not a mistake. Movies shoot in locations different from their intended settings all the time. Unless there is something obvious on screen (like a sign reading Cincinnati 20 miles) it isn't an error.
The mistake is very clear that the scene that's suppose to be Buxton, Maine is actually Ohio. What's not clear is what revealing evidence there is, other than knowing the filming location. But the correction of pointing out there's a Buxton, Maine isn't a valid correction either.
Correction: Rubbish. Andy is a highly intelligent man who has made complex and far reaching plans for his future. The warden has already arranged one murder - why stop there? Andy would keep his mouth shut.
