Is There a Religion in This Movie?

I feel like maybe that was more acceptable in 19 94, just like, ok, we just have this kind of ridiculous set up, and that's just the way. There'r certainly some fan theories where andy defrane represents jesus. I was going to make that comparison earlier ye where he has a symbolic death and a rebirth into freedom. He was wrongly incarcerated, wrongly convicted. But Frank durbont has been very clear that that's not true.
