The story tells that Andy, a young banker, was sentenced to life imprisonment because his wife and her lover were killed. Because of the corruption in the prison, he still can't get the truth, but suffered all kinds of mental and physical destruction in Shawshank prison. However, Andy was not ruined by his ill-fated fate, because he was full of hope. In the past 20 years, Andy has dug out his own way of survival with a humble little tool-crane's beak hammer. On a thunderstorm night, accompanied by the sound of lightning, he vomited and passed through the sewer two football fields away, and was reborn. Moreover, he got the embezzled money from the warden with a fake identity designed by himself and gained material freedom. I have to sigh: "Literati are really terrible."
But if you have seen Andy's face, you will know what cruelty is. Andy won't let this routine continue. He is taciturn and looks different. We have seen too many people think, just like others can't walk into their world when they think. Andy always has a thoughtful expression on his face, which makes people guessing. You always wonder what he will do. Later, it was discovered that it was strategy and tenacity.
Andy is unfortunate and lucky. Unfortunately, he was really unjustly imprisoned. Fortunately, he didn't give up his desire for freedom and professional study. He continued to use his skills and wrote two application letters every week. Finally, he earned $500 a month by his own efforts, and he set up his own library in Shawshank Prison. He also popularized knowledge for uneducated prisoners to enter high school ... With his efforts, people in Shawshank Prison had hopes and longings.
For a long time, the hypothesis of good and evil of human nature has been a topic of discussion in literary works. Andy's main performance is "kindness": he spent countless hours of hard work grinding time for his prisoners; He kept writing letters to the state government, and finally got the funding of reorganizing the library; He would rather be punished than release music to comfort everyone that night; He made up lessons for his inmates, thus passing the equivalent education examination; He believes that the exchange condition for prison officials to deal with inheritance is to give each prisoner three cans of beer ... His "kindness" not only won him freedom and respect, but also infected some prisoners who insisted on their true self and were not "institutionalized".
However, everyone has a good side and a bad side. He also planned to kill his wife, used opportunism to help prison officials deal with the problem of inheritance, and laundered money for the warden ... These are undoubtedly "evil" manifestations that harm social interests. However, "kindness may be late, but it will never be absent."
Andy's journey of redemption is full of uniqueness.
Hope is extremely heavy. In this process, what makes him not feel wronged in the face of injustice, not violent in the face of repression, not desperate in the face of difficulties, but always keep a cool head and tenacious fighting spirit? The answer is very clear, that is, Andy's rationality is different from that of ordinary people, which enables him to weigh the gains and losses freely, thus stripping his hatred for himself, surpassing himself and finally reaching the other side of freedom. The work hardly touches on how Andy dug a hole with difficulty, tenacity and wisdom, but shows that as a representative of a capitalized person, Andy did not lose his kind humanity from beginning to end in the magical city that brutally devoured his body and soul, and stubbornly completed his persistence in human nature, that is, his tenacious self-awareness and affirmation of his feelings, rights and values as a human being. Reason makes him never accept his fate, makes him believe that human nature is incompatible with each other, makes him always have hope and imagination for freedom, and makes him make unremitting efforts to redeem himself and realize real personal freedom.
Rhett's words are thought-provoking: "When you first entered the prison, you hated the high walls around you. Slowly, you get used to living in it, and finally you find that you have to rely on it to survive. " The "Lao Bu" in the play spent 50 years in Shawshank prison, from a young man to a white-haired old man. Bob was miserable before he got out of prison. He didn't want to leave, and even wanted to stab his cellmate with a knife to get the treatment of staying in prison again. This is the institutionalized result of Rhett's discourse dependence. You can even say that this is a common problem of human beings: comfort zone, even in a prison that is terrible for normal people. After going out for a few days, he hanged himself because he couldn't adapt to the "outside world" …
"Some birds can't be caged by nature. Their feathers are too bright, their songs are too sweet and wild, so you have to let them go, or they will try to walk away when you open the cage to feed them. You know it is wrong to lock them up, so you will be happy for them, but in this way, the place where you live will still look more desolate and empty because of their departure. "
Hope is good, maybe the best in the world, and good things never die.

3. Rhett's voice-over: We sit in the sun and feel like free men. Damn it, I seem to be repairing the roof of my house. We are masters of creation.

Hope is good, maybe the best in the world, and good things never die.
Some birds can't be caged, because every feather of them shines with freedom.
I found myself too excited to sit or think quietly. I think only those who are free and about to embark on a new journey can feel the excitement of unveiling the mystery of the future. I hope to shake hands with my friends across the border. I hope the Pacific Ocean is as blue as I dreamed. I hope so.
7. The high walls in the prison are really interesting. When you first entered the prison, you hated the high walls around you. Slowly, you get used to living in it; In the end, you will find that you have to rely on it to survive. This is institutionalization.
8. Andy Dadeland: That's the point. You need it as if you don't want to forget it. Forget whether there is any place in the world surrounded by stones. Forget that there is something in your heart that they can't touch.
9. Prison life is full of routine.
10. Don't forget that the world has penetrated all the high walls, and it is in our hearts that they can't reach or touch, and that is hope.
Rhett: Listen, my friend, hope is a dangerous thing. I hope it makes people crazy.
12. I have to remind myself that some birds cannot be caged. Their feathers are beautiful. When they fly away ... you will think it is a sin to lock them up, but you will feel lonely without them, but I just miss my friends. ...
13. I think life can be summed up in a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying. Life boils down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
14. Everyone is his own God. If you abandon yourself, who will save you? Everyone is busy, some are busy living, some are busy dying. You are busy pursuing fame and fortune, and you are busy with daily necessities. Stop and think: Is your brain institutionalized? Where is your God?
Andy Dadeland: This is the beauty of music. They can't take it from you.
16. Life can be summed up in a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
