The Shawshank Redemption tells the story of Andy, a banker, who was accused of murdering his cheating wife because of her betrayal and drunkenness. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court and held in Shawshank prison. Andy just began to suffer all this silently, and later met Rhett and others. Get to know them and be friends with them. Meanwhile, Andy was bullied by his sisters. Andy relies on his own talents to file tax returns for guards and officers in prison. Later, the warden took a fancy to it, laundered money for him and became his vassal. Andy also wrote to the state government every week on his own insistence, and finally built a library for Shawshank Prison. Later, a young man came to tell Andy that he had been wronged, but he was assassinated by the warden. Andy finally decided to escape from prison, climbed the cave he had dug for 20 years with an axe and ran to freedom.
A prison, where prisoners and officials seem to be all beings in our society.
Warden Norton, high above, is usually hypocritical and knows his back like a stream. In fact, he is cruel, insidious and greedy when he tries to get benefits by hook or by crook. Harry, the prison guard, and other policemen are fierce and cruel, acting as Norton's thugs and taking care of the prisoners' lives. Are they very much like the ruling class in our reality? I call it a prison. This? Small society? The ruler of.
There are also differences between prisoners. Except Andy, the protagonist, Rhett is certainly a key figure. I think he is the clue of the whole movie: in fact, there is not much dialogue in the whole movie, and many things that the movie wants to express are said through Rhett's monologues, most of which are Rhett's reflection and summary of prison life and his interpretation of Andy.
The world that belongs to him is compressed to the minimum, and finally he can only choose to disappear from this world that doesn't belong to him at all. It is worth mentioning that you feel the same way? Institutionalization? I feel that Rhett didn't commit suicide by hanging a beam from Brooks' old road, because Rhett knew something was waiting for him, so he wrote on the beam? soisRed？ Then he left. This is The Shawshank Redemption.
Andy, our hero, is a real person. You can say that Rhett is a ... Strong? People, and Andy is one? Great? He not only saved himself, but also made every effort to save the prisoner's soul. In fact, the plot of the whole movie about him digging a tunnel to escape is so precious that the scene of Andy's escape makes me feel quite abrupt, which shows that the fantasy escape is not the theme of the movie. Besides, Rhett told us that Andy didn't run away immediately after digging the tunnel. He finally left because Tommy's death showed him Norton's cruelty and his inability to save other prisoners.
In other words, although Andy was ready to escape from prison, he didn't run away immediately. Although he is eager to embrace freedom-I believe that the bird's-eye view of him standing in the river and embracing the wind and rain after he escaped from prison will impress the audience-but he still stays in prison to help those people? A hopeless person? . The film mainly describes this aspect, and I think it is also called The Shawshank Redemption instead of Andy? The reason why Dufresne atoned.
There is a saying in The Shawshank Redemption that touched millions of people: Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing in the world. Andy insisted on this belief, so he finally dug the road to freedom for 20 years with that small axe, but he was not in a hurry to escape, he was waiting, and he was still hoping that the law would give him a final and just result. But Andy is waiting for the warden's ruthless greed and murder. Andy is also persistent.
He wrote a letter every week for several years and finally built a library for Shawshank prison. He also helped Tommy learn, starting with the most basic alphabet, and finally being admitted to a school. Andy yearned for freedom from the heart, so he ignored the warden's threats and played that Italian song for everyone in the prison, including the prisoners.
That song is like the sunshine of freedom on everyone? Detention? People are floating over Shawshank prison. People are intoxicated by the sound, although they don't know the meaning of this song. But it represents every heart yearning for freedom, flying over Shawshank prison and heading for the distance. Andy also earned a case of cold beer for his friend, even though he risked his life. His behavior saved everyone around him. Because of his arrival, his friends have joy and yearning for freedom and faith. Because of his escape from prison, his friends have endless happy topics.
After 20 years in prison, Andy didn't complain, just like I said. Besides, he felt sorry for his wife. Although Andy didn't murder her, he always felt that he had killed his wife indirectly, so he felt guilty and couldn't forgive himself. When his 20-year prison career came, he felt that he had paid off all his debts. At the last moment, Andy still misses his good friend Rhett and tells him his vision for the future life. ? It's a place with no memory. ? Such a place is very desirable for everyone who has suffered. After Rhett got out of prison, he found his good friend Andy, and they smiled at each other. What a happy mood.
Thoughts on The Shawshank Redemption _ 1500 words
The Shawshank Redemption is a rare and excellent inspirational film. The story of the film is simple and full of Hollywood legends: Andy, a banker, mistakenly murdered his wife and her lover, was sentenced to life imprisonment and went to Shawshank prison. His uniqueness attracted the attention of Red, a black prisoner, and he finally became a good friend. Andy is always taciturn and tries his best to protect everything he should have as a normal person. By chance, he began to help the jailer with his rich financial knowledge? Legal? Tax evasion, even helping the warden to launder money, in exchange for some slightly lenient treatment for prisoners and themselves. He even took the trouble to write to the state government, and a few years later he got a response-the state government donated books, record players and even an unprecedented prison book fund to Shawshank prison? 500 dollars a year. However, Andy finally learned the truth about his wife's murder from a new prisoner, but when he complained to the warden, he was rudely rejected. Because at this time, the greedy warden has regarded Andy as a cash cow for profiteering, and he even spared no expense to kill the informed prisoners and left Andy in Shawshank prison forever to satisfy his endless greed for money. Andy finally quietly embarked on the road of self-salvation after disillusionment with legal justice? On a windy, lightning and dark night, Andy successfully crossed the secret passage he had dug for 19 years and regained his freedom.
A few words in the film are very classic.
(1) Rhett: Prison is a strange place. At first you hate it, then you get used to it. After a long time, you can't live without it. This is called institutionalization.
(2) Andy: Some places in the world can't be closed by stone walls. In people's minds, some things are beyond their control and belong to them completely. Rhett: What do you mean? Andy: I hope so. Rhett: I tell you, my friend, hope is dangerous. I hope it makes people crazy. Hope is useless. You'd better accept your fate.
This is undoubtedly a film with profound connotation. The tall and rigorous Shawshank prison is a symbol with rich meanings, as if we often meet a cold authoritative representative in reality. When we don't know ourselves, we begin to accept the training, forging and suggestion of this authority. We are constantly told to clean up our inner path thoroughly, try our best to accept its enlightenment sincerely, so as to win its reward and get all the needs of our life: to be respected and to practice our simple dreams. But authority is becoming a part of ourselves in a subtle way. Our heart and breath have a unified rhythm endowed by authority, but we know nothing about it. His image expresses whether people under the system lose themselves because they obey the system or hope to find freedom.
It gives people an invisible power. It let me know the most precious thing a person should have in his life, so as to cherish the opportunity you still have. Because we humans have always been like this: only when we lose it, do we really realize its value, then try our best to get it back, and then don't cherish it. Hope, freedom and friendship are our most basic and minimum feelings and needs. If we don't cherish them, do we still pray for others to cherish and safeguard them?
At the same time, Andy's image is also very well portrayed. He looks weak, but in fact he is strong. He is not afraid of being beaten and sticks to his opinion. He is intelligent and knowledgeable, kind to others, kind to himself, and never forgets that he is a dignified person, and never forgets hope and freedom.
Rhett (monologue): So, the day before the completion, the prisoners on duty in the spring of' 49 sat in a pile at ten o'clock in the morning, drinking cold beer. The strictest prison guard in Shark Castle has always been kind to me, and this bastard is still pretending to be generous. The sun shines on our shoulders, like a free man, like repairing our own roof, and we are as comfortable as the creator. Where is Andy? He was in the shade with a strange smile on his face, watching us drink his wine. You can say that he wants to kiss up to the prison authorities or win the friendship of prisoners, but I think he just wants to relive his freedom, even for a moment.
He likes adventure, but he is careful. When Rhett thought it would take 100 years to make a hole with a small hammer to escape, it actually took him only 19 years. He has confidence and courage.
To tell you the truth, I was completely shocked by this movie. The high gray wall separates my eyes from everything. Endless years, lonely and hopeless days, the spirit is eroded bit by bit, the soul is gradually distorted, and the mind is numb until it no longer feels numb. There is nothing more sad than the death of the heart, so-called? Hope? ,? Faith? Imprisoned with their bodies. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. When a feather floats slowly, life is transformed into a beautiful waltz, because no matter what you get, chocolate is always delicious. Only at the moment when Figaro's wedding rang, all the prisoners were shocked by this strange sound and felt a sense of freedom from the secular. Even a momentary stay, even a flash, seems to awaken something in the prisoner's heart that has not completely disappeared. Perhaps this sober moment, the moment of release, will bring more heavy depression, just like opening the blood scab on the wound.
The Shawshank Redemption turned life into a cruel choice. In our simple life, The Shawshank Redemption is something worth remembering again and again. Believe in yourself, don't give up hope, don't give up efforts, and wait patiently for the glory of your own life. This is The Shawshank Redemption.
The Shawshank Redemption's comments
There is a kind of bird that can never be caged, because every wing of it is covered with the light of hope and freedom.
Notes before the text of a book or after the title of an article.
The film begins with the memory of Andy's cellmate Rhett: everything is as unreal as a dream. Only when night fell, it was dark all around, and I heard the sound of the iron gate closing, did I suddenly realize that all this was true. There was silence all around, time was long and boundless, and all that remained was thinking. ?
This is a dark story about American prisons. Darkness lies in the darkness of justice and its destruction of human nature. This kind of destruction not only limits prisoners' spiritual freedom, but also stifles their only yearning for life. This movie is very touching because it depicts such a hero Andy. Under the oppression of the dark system, Andy completed the redemption of his soul with great patience, persistent belief and humiliation, and finally escaped from the cage and arrived at Chiwatanio, the holy land of hope and freedom.
Washington post once commented that the long road to freedom and profound spiritual washing, and the immortal inspirational classic The Shawshank Redemption brought eternal sincere friendship, unyielding soul exercise and endless fire of fate. ?
The personality type under institutionalization is a key point of the film. In the dark Shawshank prison? Bullying the weak with the old and bullying the new? This is considered to be the only way to find fun in the boring prison life. Under such circumstances, our hero, a banker with high cultural level and personal accomplishment, was accidentally accused of murder, went into Shawshank prison and started what Warden Norton said? Spiritual redemption? A long journey. In the eyes of many old prisoners, Andy, who looks fragile and bookish, can't stand this inhuman torture. On his first night in prison, he will burst into tears and sink like other prisoners. But Andy resisted everything with silence and tenacity, wisdom and faith.
Andy is one of the unique scenery in a prison full of cruelty, abnormality, violence and distortion. When the yard is open, it is as leisurely as walking in a quiet park; When repairing the roof, he risked being pushed off the roof by the prison guards to fight for a rest for the prisoners; In order to let the inmates listen to Figaro's wedding, they were locked up for a week; In order to make the prison no longer boring, he kept writing to the state legislature and finally got some money to build a library in the prison. For the sake of hope and freedom in my heart, I endured the harsh criticism and reprimand of the warden for a long time, quietly, and with a small hammer, I carved a dark passage leading to a new life day after day.
Shawshank, this prison, in the long prison life, many people like Lao Bu just rejected it, got used to it, and finally could not live without it. Lao Bu, who was paroled, left the place where he had been imprisoned for most of his life and gained long-lost freedom. But as an institutionalized product, he knew nothing about the world outside the prison. When his cellmate lost his only respect and friendship, he finally chose to commit suicide. Even Rhett, who is full of wisdom and sees through everything, is bound by various systems in prison and cannot find real freedom. Only Andy, with his inner persistence, experienced the spiritual redemption of blood and fire and escaped from this human purgatory. Andy finally left. Some birds are too bright in color. They can't be caged.
Perhaps, as Thoreau said, how a person views himself determines his fate, or points out his destination. ? Andy always has an ambiguous expression, silent but firm, alert but never taking unnecessary risks. Get closer to your goal step by step. When he finally climbed out of the 500-meter stinking sewage pipe and stood in the pouring rain, I seemed to see faith piercing the darkness and shining brightly in the dark. In the light, those cowardly souls trembled for a long time under Andy's open arms.
Everyone lives for hope and struggles for freedom. But what about society, life and family? System? Now, hope is fading away bit by bit, and freedom is losing inch by inch. I hope everyone who has hopes and dreams can see from Andy that no matter how hard the environment is and how heavy the setbacks are, he will never give up the pursuit of hope and freedom and stick to it for the sake of his wisdom and wisdom. Finally, send the letter Andy left for Rhett to everyone:
