The Redemption refers to both Andy and Red for different reasons. Frank Darabont also chose to use the voiceover to maintain the narrative voice of Stephen King's original short story, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Since Andy helped Hadley with the inheritance tax, Hadley realized that Andy could be of future financial use.
The sisters beating up Andy would interfere with that, considering that Andy was in the infirmary for a very long time after the last attack. Beating up on Boggs sent a message to the sisters to leave Andy alone or else.
He probably only knows the name. He doesn't want to know any more, so he can pin the blame on Andy should anything go wrong. He no doubt hasn't even considered that Andy might have ID so he can access the accounts after his escape.
Hadley was a cruel, brutal man who repeatedly beat inmates, in some cases so badly that they died. He was directly responsible for or, at least, an accomplice to multiple crimes up to and including premeditated murder. He may have saved Andy from the sisters, but that was purely because Andy, with his financial acumen, was useful to both him and the warden.
Hadley stepping in was purely due to self interest not in inmate welfare. After all, the sisters have clearly targeted other prisoners prior to Andy's arrival, without any apparent reaction from the prison staff.
In the book, the main drain pipes in Shawshank are ceramic, which is why Andy is able to break through. He provided the authorities and the media evidence of all the money laundering and illegal activities that happened at Shawshank. Any specific evidence he had regarding Tommy is not shown in the film, but it can be assumed that Hadley, as revealed in Red's narration, broke down and confessed. Like Red said, it could be to get the guards on his side, to help the other inmates like him, or to do something to feel normal again.
One has to keep in mind that Fat Ass was beaten to death by Hadley the night of Andy's arrival at Shawshank. Roughly 20 years had passed between Andy's arrival and escape from Shawshank. When Fat Ass was beaten to death, no prisoners would dare try and rat on Hadley. Especially knowing the Warden and several of the other C.
It's likely that it was reported that Fat Ass was attacked and killed by a fellow inmate. Without any witnesses to say otherwise, the case would be closed and forgotten about. However, Tommy's death was an act of cold-blooded murder carried out by Hadley on the orders of Warden Norton. Norton implied this to Andy, he knew they murdered him, so included it in his tell-all. Andy may have also mentioned Fat Ass's death, but Tommy's murder would be easier to investigate.
Andy could have included Fat Ass's murder in the letter to the newspaper also. Red was paroled in , having served 40 years. Andy was imprisoned in and escaped 19 years later, or So Red was paroled within a year of Andy's escape, depending on how long his release was after being paroled.
The film never really goes into detail about the courtroom gun or even if it's evidence, but there are two possibilities: 1. It's just a demonstration piece for the court. The more likely explanation is that the courtroom gun was simply the gun used by Elmo Blatch the true killer found at the crime scene, assuming Elmo had left his gun behind.
Keep in mind that prisons are unpleasant places to be. They probably had background checks that covered very basic elements. Then, Hadley and Norton may have become corrupted during their time working in the prison. By the time of the story, we see how Norton and Hadley had become best friends, and they often covered for each other. Their cover was blown after Andy exposed the financial scandal to the media.
Then, their misdeeds were investigated and dealt with. The most likely explanation based on the storyline is that Andy, having escaped from Shawshank just the night before and not knowing the extent or progress of any efforts to find him and return him to prison, prioritized completing all local business as quickly as possible, especially the most public tasks he could save for later things like planting the note and money for Red in the agreed upon location , in order to maximize his chances of making it out of New England and onward to Texas and then Mexico, where he could live essentially free of the risk and fear of being recaptured by authorities.
At that point in the story, Andy was already in the middle of decisively playing his extremely risky hand, and he added no additional risk by leaving the package in the hands of the bankers, who would certainly remember him and his visit regardless of that choice, whereas even taking the time to go to a post office would have added precious minutes to his public appearances in the area and exposed him to more people.
The filmmakers' goal of efficient and thorough storytelling provides several more probable explanations, the most straightforward being that the choice allows viewers to see the mailing explicitly by adding only a few seconds to the bank scene.
To accomplish that same storytelling goal, another means, such as a trip to the post office, would have likely required a whole extra scene that might have unnecessarily broken up the flow of the movie in a crucial phase of its story and certainly would have added run-time to the film, as well as an additional shooting location, perhaps more actors, time, cost, etc.
Andy's decision to allow the bank to handle the mailing, perhaps unplanned and prompted only by the female bank employee's asking him politely whether they could "do anything else" for him, gave the filmmakers an opportunity not only to show the mailing itself but also to highlight, through the casual and gentle attitude he displays, Andy's confidence and aura of tranquility, remarkable but not too surprising at this point of the film, coming from Andy given the perilous nature and the extremely high stakes of his situation, not just for him personally but also for countless others and perhaps even for society as a whole.
The brief exchange also emphasizes the dramatic shift of power almost two decades in the making that Andy had finally, dramatically brought about and was, at that moment, pointedly experiencing for himself, having broken away from the cruel and domineering rule of Shawshank and Warden Norton and finding himself no longer society's prisoner and Norton's slave but instead the deeply respected and important customer of Norton's bank and, more importantly, the recipient of Norton's tainted fortune and the server of proper justice regarding the ironic criminal activities of his former prison.
Another good point would be that any mail received from a bank or any mail being sent out from the bank would be given preferred and guaranteed treatment by all involved. A bank back then was a revered institution and the reporter upon examination of the source would be very intrigued and accepting of this source Or a one word answer would be "convenience.
