If you open the barrage while watching a movie, you will understand that I didn't pretend to be X, and people who can talk about society after watching this kind of movie are basically people who are habitually attributed to something.
Also, after writing for so long, I found that I didn't work hard at ordinary times and didn't practice basic skills well. I only cared about depression and shouting. When you are asked to talk briefly about a book or a movie, you just say "Ah, good". ...
When I do my resume, there is a place on the template where I can fill in a motto or something. I can't think of a word related to my career, and I'm relatively absent-minded. I only remember the sentence "Get busy living or get busy dying". It's scrawled.
Okay, back to the story of Andy and Rhett. ...
I think this film is good for reality. In fact, philosophical film and television works and books are rarely reflected by what can happen in our lives. Even though Andy's story is a rare event, it makes people feel that everyone wants to do it.
A bird flew out of the cage. ...
Andy may have been desperate when he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Just like when the warden stopped Bruce from testifying for Andy, Andy roared, "Do you understand, this is my life"! Although he tried to make the warden understand what "life" he described, what did it mean? But everything is in vain, he can only rely on himself.
Andy hasn't said a word for a month after he went to prison. As Red, a black man, said, "He may be trying to adapt to prison life". Later, when Andy spoke for the first time, Rhett felt that Andy was walking in the free playground of the prison, just like in his own garden.
But this is probably why "Sister Flowers" like Andy. ...
Andy's "perfect" personality was also reflected when he was raped by his sister flowers. Always resist, sometimes succeed, sometimes fail, a few years later. After being raped by gay men in prison, most people will have some psychological distortions.
Finally Andy and his sisters finished it. Sister Hua wants to put that thing in Andy's mouth, and Andy tells her that there are only two possibilities: "put it in Andy's mouth and bite it off" and "stick a needle in Andy's ear and bite it off". Sister Hua didn't scare Andy, but was scared by Andy. Absolute rationality and no panic are also the advantages that most people in Andy don't have.
Andy later succeeded in angering floret. After being beaten up, he got the leadership of floret and was beaten by the prison guards for life. This may also be due to the fact that he once helped the director of the detention center escape a tax. This similar situation makes the barrage often ridicule "knowledge changes fate" ...
The afternoon when Andy worked outdoors, he brought freedom to the prisoners in the prison for the first time. I helped the director escape more than $10,000 in taxes and exchanged a bottle of cold beer for my "colleagues" who worked outdoors. He said, "If an outdoor worker has a bottle of beer to drink, he will feel more like a man …".
Have you ever felt this way in your life? Sometimes one thing, one food, one little thing can bring great satisfaction, joy or freedom to your heart.
Andy also thanked Rhett for taking him out to do outdoor work. They became friends. It can be seen from Rhett's later asking Andy about killing his wife that they have reached the point where they can care about each other's private affairs.
Andy has given up drinking. He leaned against the wall and gave a strange smile. The smile seemed to say, "I am free in prison, even if it is only for a short time." Andy can pursue good things in life, things in prison.
Andy's talent was quickly "reused" by the warden. Tax returns of all prison guards and money laundering records of the warden. Andy got an easy job and the best library in all prisons in New England. He helped many prisoners get high school diplomas.
Andy first wrote a letter to the state legislature once a week for six years. The country sent him some books and 200 yuan of funds, telling him that this matter should be over, please don't write any more.
But this is far from completing Andy's plan to build a library. It's just that Andy wrote a letter for six years, and the government chose to perfunctory it. Andy said, "Oh, it only took six years" and "From now on, I will write twice a week". In this film, Andy's core personality charm appeared at this time. For six years, Andy has written a letter to the state government every week.
Andy is in a good mood at this time, which coincides with the objective condition that there is no one in the studio. Let Andy take out the record, turn on the radio and give all the prisoners a few minutes to be free.
The angry warden locked Andy up for a week (in a dark room less than one square meter). After Andy was released, he said there was Mozart in it. What's important is that he thinks it is worthwhile to exchange a week's confinement for a moment of freedom. When the warden called Andy to open the door, Andy's innocent expression and movements were vivid. ...
Before the warden "reused" Andy, he inspected Andy under the guise of making rounds. Andy's crane beak hammer is hidden in the Bible in his hand. If you don't have a book in your hand, you will definitely be turned over by the prison guard. If you don't have a bible, the warden will basically turn it over.
Andy was really lucky to avoid this expedition. Another big reason is that the warden is hypocritical, loves to pretend to be X, and then left the classic line "The way to salvation is in it".
The warden fabricated an "internal renovation plan" in front of the media through Andy's construction of the library. Propagandize their "virtues" and a series of politician's platitudes, such as "serving taxpayers" and "giving people a good environment". In short, you pay taxes and the government serves you. In fact, whether Americans or China people choose to believe lies to cover up the tragic side of life, which is a kind of human nature and an ability.
Old Bruce, the former librarian of the library, is an old man who has been in prison for 50 years. The prison was ready to let him out, but he resisted and even excitedly killed his cellmate who congratulated him on his release from prison and got himself convicted. But it was stopped by everyone. Old Bruce couldn't adapt to the life in the outside world after he got out of prison, so he chose to hang himself. No one but Rhett understands why Bruce did it.
Fifty years in prison is enough to make a person lose the ability to live outside. Rhett said, "Bruce is institutionalized." These high walls in prison are amazing. At first you hate them, then you learn to get used to them, and finally you can't live without them.
Of course, the movie The Shawshank Redemption is not a simple prison break. After all, it reflects the real life, the world outside the prison. It is difficult to tell the truth of institutionalization with external stories, just as fish don't know the existence of water. It is difficult for people to feel the existence of air from the original perspective and find themselves living in an institutional society.
People living in prisons are institutionalized by prisons, while people living outside are institutionalized by the rules of human society. Because people need institutions, an invisible thing.
Andy is a person who can realize himself to the maximum under any system. Andy is no longer a person, he represents the hope in everyone's heart.
The story of old Bruce inspired Andy at that time. What I have to face is that the only thing left in prison is waiting to die.
Then young Tom brought a turning point to the story. He brought a shocking news, a kind of karma coincidence. The murderer who killed Andy's wife and his wife's lover was once in prison with Tom.
The murderer is manic and often talks excitedly about his crimes. Once, the murderer told Tom that he had killed a baseball player and a mistress. That mistress has a banker husband. At this point, the murderer began to laugh hysterically. "The banker became a scapegoat."
This story is perfectly connected with Andy's story. Andy ran to the warden and asked for a retrial. Of course the warden will stop their behavior. On the one hand, he needs Andy to help him evade taxes in prison. On the other hand, Andy knows all his secrets. Andy was locked in a dark room for a month. At this time, there is no "Mozart" around him, only despair after hope is ignited.
Andy helped Tom get his high school diploma. Tom likes Andy very much. Or respect, like a father. Knowing that Tom would testify for Andy in court, the warden planned to kill Tom. Tom is simple, or he doesn't know about Andy's other relationship with the warden. Tell the warden what he really thinks.
This is probably why Andy made up his mind to run away. By this time, his great project has been basically completed.
He talked to Rhett before he was ready to escape. Tell Rhett where he is going for no reason. He also talked about his wife. He felt guilty about her death. He thinks that he and his wife may fall in love with the wrong person, and he caused his wife to cheat him to some extent ... Finally Andy said, "I just want to have a simple choice, either get busy living or get busy dying."
Everything is ready, all that needs to wait is a thunderstorm night.
That night, Andy changed the ledger and put on the warden's shoes. No one noticed that he was wearing a pair of clean leather shoes at his feet that night. He climbed the hole he dug in 19 and cut the sewer pipe with the help of giant thunder. Then climb 500 yards of sewers (more than 450 meters). The new student is waiting for him at the other end.
The next morning, the prison guard checked people and found Andy missing. When the warden arrived, he was already crazy ... here is a detail. The warden flew into a rage and threw away the carved stone left by Andy. He said angrily, "A big living person has disappeared, leaving only a stone and a portrait of a girl." This made the warden throw a stone at the poster and found a hole behind it. The story turned very reasonable.
Rhett's voice-over said, "He thought it would take 600 years to dig this hole with a hammer, but Andy did it in less than 20 years." "And the 500-yard trench, maybe I just don't want to climb, so I feel so painful to climb." Andy's core personality advantage is reflected in time for the second time.
Just like we want to do something in life, we feel impossible and out of reach. Maybe we just don't want to do it. Time is never wasted on people like Andy.
In fact, the arrangement of the role of Rhett is also a very wise role. Rhett, the vast majority of us, is used to showing the minimal probability of success made by a few excellent people. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is best to sue. Fish doesn't know the existence of water, and Andy won't know the existence of his wisdom.
Rhett finally experienced the same experience as old Bruce, but he was not as old as Bruce. He had Andy's guidance. Finally, Rhett successfully crossed the border to find Andy and found a free life.
Every movie has a different perspective, and this movie is mostly Andy's world. So what the audience sees is not darkness and depression. Andy left the audience with something called hope. Whether there is such a person as Andy in reality or not, whether there will be what happened in Shawshank prison. Andy's hope is real.
Freedom lies in people's hearts, not elsewhere. There may be all kinds of injustice and ugliness in this world. But at the same time, she always gives us something that makes us feel beautiful and happy. Andy is a person who has the ability to discover the beautiful things in the world.
Perhaps too many people on the barrage said that "knowledge changes fate or something", which also aroused some people's unhappiness. Someone sent a barrage saying, "If you are smart, you can do this in primary school." I think "intelligence theory" and "intelligence theory" are more boring and careless ideas than such a wrong concept as "knowledge changes fate"
This film also shows that there are many loopholes in this society. If more people drill holes, someone will fill them up. The government may not always be able to decide the direction of the world, and the decider is usually "people" themselves.
The barrage at the end felt very warm, and many people left the date, name or address of watching the movie ... and left the date when they watched it for the third time. In the words of a self-media author I like, "everyone does."
Finally, finally ... When I watched The Shawshank Redemption twice before, I always thought the hero's name was Shawshank, but I didn't find it after reading it.
Is there the same person? Say it out loud and make us happy. ...
