I don't know about Shawshank Redemptions. I do remember talking to a friend about God after that film, but it could have been "Hurricane" or "In the Name of The Father". Any movie where an innocent good man gets locked up for years and years and loses so much of their life in a hell hole of a prison - and those that were responsible for putting him there get away with it (well, the jail warden killed himself to avoid having to go to jail himself). The innocent suffering and the guilty benefiting from that suffering - that is the kind of thing that makes me question the existence of a good God.
But beyond that, I'm not sure what the moral was behind SR.
