Classic Ending?

Red finds himself in the same mood and situation as Brooks. He feels afraid and nervous because he does not know any other system than the prison. He wants to break his parole just so he can go back to the only thing he knows. Red thinks back on his words to Andy, “I’m institutionalized now, just like Brooks was.” He can’t break his routine of asking the manager to ‘take a piss’ and can’t shake his negative thoughts about this new world. Red is dressed in his suit and cracks open his pocketknife. Climbing onto the chair, then onto the small table. Now carved into the wall, next to Brooks farewell, read the words “So was Red.” Red takes the same fate as Brooks and we look to the backside of his lifeless silhouette. The movie takes a flash-forward of about ten years. We see Andy driving his convertible and a focused sense on his face. He is driving along among endless hay fields. This must have been the place he told Red to go. Andy gets out of the car, crosses a small creek and is headed towards the giant oak he described. As we recall Andy’s unfailing hope, we see that he hopes for Red to have made it to this place or even here at this same moment. The rocks haven’t been moved and we all find the black volcanic glass one that we hope to know what has been its importance. Andy uncovers what has been buried what was obviously intended for Red. The box never opens and the camera zooms out on Andy sitting still with disappointment streaming down his face.
