Shawshank Redemption - Closed Book Theme

Andy Dufresne keeps his escape plans to himself.  He hides his rock hammer in a book.  He and the Warden keep their financial papers in a safe.  The contractor gives Warden a hidden envelope of cash in a pie box.

I would call this a "How Theme."  It's How Andy gets what he wants...he hides things.

Thesis:
Chipping Away leads to Life
Hope leads to life
Getting busy living leads to life

Vs.
Thesis 2
Getting busy dying leads to death

Action scenes about getting busy living -
Reaction scenes about why, how,
