This film is mainly about America in the 1940s. Andy, the hero, is a successful banker, but bad luck soon befalls this young man who just turned 30 and has a bright future. One night, he came home after drinking a lot of wine and found his beloved wife having an affair with a man at the door. As a husband, he was furious to see his wife cuckold him. Coupled with the effect of alcohol, he pulled out a private pistol at his waist and told him that the gun was full of bullets and wanted to kill the dog men and women. Then when he woke up, he found that he was arrested by the police because his wife and her lover were killed in his house, and he was the only third person on the scene. The police passed the appraisal, and the bullet that killed the man was shot from his gun, and his fingerprints were on the bullet. Because he was drunk that night, he vaguely remembered seeing his wife having an affair with someone else, taking out a pistol and loading a bullet, and then he remembered nothing. All the evidence points to him killing his wife and her lover, and he has no excuse. The jury finally found him guilty and the court sentenced him to life imprisonment for murder. A few days ago, he was still in a suit and tie on Wall Street, proud of his love in the workplace. Now he has suffered the betrayal and death of his wife's feelings, and he has become a criminal who will spend the rest of his life in prison. His life suddenly went from light to bottomless darkness. He was assigned to Shawshank prison, which was full of blood, cruelty and violence. On the first night in prison, a fat man couldn't stand the huge gap in the prison environment and the ridicule and ridicule of the old prisoners around him, and the defense line collapsed. He cried and shouted in his cell, which attracted the warden. The ruthless warden wanted someone to teach the newcomer a lesson, so he beat the fat man with batons in front of hundreds of prisoners, and the fat man kept begging for mercy. Finally, he was carried to the infirmary until he beat the fat man to a weak breath and made no progress. Later, fatty. This bloody and violent scene shocked the new prisoners, but the old prisoners have become accustomed to it. Every time a new person comes, the old guy gambles on cigarettes, betting on who will have a nervous breakdown on the first night, and then be severely taught by the prison guard and become the first unlucky person. Andy was often bullied by the old guy soon after he came in. There are no women in prison, so many homosexuals are born. Andy is the ideal object for many people to be gay, because he is white and clean, and he is also highly valued in prison, and he is young and handsome. He was finally targeted by a pair of "sister flowers" and harassed him endlessly. Andy swore to death and was beaten black and blue every time. The worst one was lying in the infirmary for a whole month. In the face of such a cruel environment, he did not despair, but adjusted his mentality in time to find his way to survive in prison. He began to take the initiative to contact Rhett, who was well-known among prisoners. Rhett is an incredible figure in prison. He can always get small contraband items that prisoners need, such as cigarettes, whisky, posters of female stars and so on. Andy asks Rhett to get him a crane's beak hammer, saying that he likes to carve some stones. Rhett jokingly asked him, do you want to cut a passage with a small hammer? Then he shook his head and said that it would take at least 600 years to dig through the wall with such a small thing. Rhett got him a crane-beak hammer after all. Because it is a prohibited item in the prison, the prison often makes surprise rounds. Once the prohibited items are found, they will not only be confiscated, but also face the punishment of confinement. According to the shape of the crane's beak hammer, Andy dug a hole in the Bible distributed by the prison and hid it in the Bible, which successfully escaped numerous inspections by the prison guards. So Andy took part in labor in prison during the day, chiseled the wall with a small hammer at night, and put the waste in his trouser pocket when he went out for outdoor sports the next day, and secretly shook it off through his trouser legs. In prison, he also used his knowledge of finance and taxation to avoid taxes reasonably for prison guards and became a financial helper for prison guards. Even the vicious warden turned to him for help. His reputation is becoming more and more famous. Later, even the owner of the prison, the warden, heard about his talent and asked him to make a personal account for him. Andy used his professional knowledge and talent to set up a virtual person with various identity documents, put the money of the warden's corruption and bribery into the virtual person's account, and turned the warden into an invisible millionaire. In return, the warden transferred him to the post of prison librarian, freeing him from the pain of manual labor in prison, which was both decent and relaxed and envied by many prisoners. In prison, he also took the initiative to teach other prisoners to learn to read, and successfully helped a young man, Tony, successfully get a high school diploma. In a chat with Tony, Andy learned that he was really wronged and that the murderer of his wife and lover was someone else. Tony used to be in the same prison as the real murderer. He told Tony to show off that he had killed someone. Andy and Tony found the warden, hoping that the warden would redress his grievances. However, in order to keep Andy in charge of his own finances for a long time and prevent Andy from revealing his secrets of corruption and bribery after going out, the warden not only refused to redress his grievances, but also locked him up. He also designed to lure Tony to the prison restricted area, and then let the warden shoot Tony, claiming that Tony escaped from prison. After the warning failed, the guard had to shoot him. The only witness and clue was destroyed. The warden threatened to burn the books in the library, throw him in a gay prison, and asked Andy to continue to do the accounts. Andy agreed, as if nothing had happened, to continue to be the warden's financial planner and life servant. In the eyes of inmates, Andy seems to have adapted to prison life and is ready to die of old age here like them. In the eyes of the warden, Andy has succumbed to the injustice of fate, to his own arrogance, and has become a tool for him to collect money and a slave to life. The days passed quietly, the warden accumulated ill-gotten gains every day, the prison guards continued to dominate the prison, and the prisoners hopelessly repeated the days of working, breathing fresh air and suffering in the dark every day. As Rhett said, people who came in began to hate it here, then relied on it, and later found it increasingly inseparable from it. There is no hope, no free days, only the existence of body and breath can prove that you are still alive. Nineteen years later, on a stormy night with thunder and lightning, Andy finally got through the passage he knocked out with a crane's beak hammer. He climbed up the tunnel dug in nineteen years, climbed up the stinking sewer, and finally saw the light of day. He is free! Andy escaped from Shawshank prison, took the bank deposit and the virtual ID for the warden, crossed the border to a beautiful island in the Pacific Ocean, opened a small hotel and lived a free life.
? The movie story ends here. Let's share our feelings and gains after watching the movie.
Before the age of 30, Andy became a banker by virtue of his intelligence and ability, and married a beautiful mother. It can be said that his career and family are going well, but something unexpected happened, and God made him unlucky. He witnessed his wife's infidelity and betrayal overnight, and her wife was killed. He is still the biggest suspect. Later, he was wrongly sentenced by the court and wronged in prison. Life can be said to have fallen from a height to a trough, into a cliff-like abyss. In the face of sudden bad luck, he didn't complain about the injustice of fate and the cruelty of life. He did not give up on himself, but chose to face it calmly, calmly, calmly and rationally. In Shawshank prison, he didn't break down because he couldn't stand the huge gap in reality in prison, as others expected, and he didn't cry to people everywhere. He is always very calm. When he is outdoors, he will take a quiet walk in the prison, just like in his garden. There is always a smile on his mouth, which gives people a steady and peaceful appeal. In prison, he didn't go with the flow like many other prisoners, and gradually became infected with gambling, smoking, drinking, telling dirty jokes, homosexuality and other bad behaviors. Because he drank too much on the night his wife was killed, he lost his memory after drinking, so he gave up drinking in prison. When others laughed and scolded after work and amused themselves, he quietly carved small stones or read the Bible and the books in prison. In his small dark cell, there are many lifelike small objects and books carved by himself, which makes his cell look different. When others gradually adapted from the panic, anxiety and pain when they first entered the prison, and then accepted their fate and prepared to sit at the bottom of the prison and live a life without dignity, freedom and hope, he did not give up on himself or hope. Every night, when others are sleeping soundly or can't sleep, he picks up a small hammer and opens the road to freedom bit by bit.
After Andy had the idea of escaping from prison, he learned with his own geological knowledge that the wall of Shawshank prison was built under special geological conditions. As long as the wall is constantly pressed, it will easily turn into powder. After considering the feasibility, he began to take action. He asked Rhett to help him get a small crane's beak hammer that is easy to hide, dug a hole in the Bible, usually hid the hammer in the Bible book, and began to dig the wall in the dead of night. In this way, every night, I dig and chisel, and put the waste from digging the wall into my trouser pocket like an ant moving. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, he posted the poster of sexy female star that Rhett gave him on the wall to block the hole. Others laugh at him privately, but they can't stand loneliness. They fantasize with photos of female stars. They don't know that there is a shocking secret and an arduous project behind the poster of the female star. 19 years of persistence, 19 years of excavation, he did not give up. He knew that every centimeter he pushed forward, he was one step closer to freedom. Another thing is that when he was transferred to the prison librarian, he insisted on writing to the state government twice a week, asking for more money or buying some books for the prison library. Even the warden tried, but the state never agreed. For several years, he insisted on writing letters to express his demands. In the end, the state government may be annoyed by him, or moved by his persistence. In the end, it even allocated extra money to the prison for the first time to buy books and presented a batch of old books. Because of his persistence, even the highest warden in the prison looked at him with new eyes, and he won the respect of more prisoners. Imagine that people in prison may fantasize that they can escape from this hellhole one day, thinking of digging tunnels or other ways to escape, but they know that prison walls are heavy and guarded, and it is more difficult to escape from prison than to ascend to heaven. I think some people plan, or fail to implement the action, or give up halfway because it is too difficult. Rhett predicted that it would take at least 600 years to drill through the prison wall with a crane's beak hammer, but Andy was not intimidated. After making up his mind, he chose firm action and continuous action, and finally opened the road to freedom.
Andy is a banker, well versed in the knowledge and skills of finance and taxation management, and is a scarce talent in prison. In fact, many prison guards seem to be bossing around in front of prisoners. On the other hand, ordinary citizens who have to support their families and have financial troubles. When he was in labor, Andy heard several prison guards chatting next to him, and talked that he wanted to avoid taxes reasonably to reduce expenses, but he was upset and didn't know what to do. After hearing this, Andy risked being taught a lesson by the prison guard's baton. He volunteered to help prison guards avoid taxes reasonably. In the end, he not only won the prisoners a rare opportunity to drink cold beer on the roof like a free man, but also won the respect and goodwill of the prison guards. The most important thing is that he was recognized by the prison guards and gradually became famous. Many prison guards came to him to help fill out the tax bill, and later they got the attention of the warden. Finally, he was able to become the warden's royal financial planner. Andy won welfare and friendship for himself and his cellmates with his unique knowledge and skills. In prison, he established a deep and sincere friendship with several prisoners, such as Rhett, so that he would not feel lonely during his long prison life. With the help of Rhett and others, he kept the library in good order and became a favorite place for prisoners, making the originally deserted library a happy garden for everyone. Rhett and others can also help manage the library in the name of alleviating labor pain.
Andy, relying on his firm belief, never gave up hope or himself under extreme circumstances, thus showing a detached and calm attitude and posture in Shawshank prison. He won the favor and special care of prison guards by helping them fill out tax forms. The "sister flower" who had been pestering and bullying him before was severely taught by the prison guards and spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair after being beaten. No one dares to bully him any more. He made the prison library very distinctive, added books, set up a reading room and a music room, and gradually changed the cold and violent atmosphere of the prison. Prisoners in prison also feel a little warm at home, life is more interesting, and the spiritual world is richer. So Shawshank Prison was commended by the state government, and the warden was invited to give a lecture on advanced typical reports. With faith, hope and persistence, it took him nineteen years to finally escape from prison and escape overseas, realizing his own redemption. His friend Rhett, who was in prison, walked out of the fence after parole. Because he didn't adapt to the outside world, he almost wanted to commit a crime on purpose again, intending to return to his familiar prison. But he thought of Andy and his agreement with Andy. In prison, they allowed Rhett to go to a village and find a stone under a big oak tree, where he proposed to his wife. Rhett gave up the idea of committing another crime and went to look for the camphor tree and the strange stone. In an iron box under the stone, there is a letter he left for Rhett, inviting him to look for him on the Pacific island, and even the travel expenses are prepared for him. Finally, Rhett meets Andy in the legendary dream island Blue Water. He is still calm and quiet, and his mouth is still smiling. They hugged each other tightly, and he not only saved himself, but also saved his friend Rhett. In Shawshank prison, while he successfully escaped from prison, he also wrote to report the inside story of corruption and murder in Shawshank prison. Finally, the warden was forced to shoot himself and the warden was arrested by the police. Two villains in Shawshank prison were moved down by Andy, and the prisoners cheered when they knew it. I believe Andy will become a legend that everyone in Shawshank prison will tell orally. He also saved the hearts of other prisoners and gave them hope.
