The Shawshank Redemption?
The film "The Shawshank Redemption" tells the story of Andy, a young banker with small achievements, who was imprisoned on suspicion of killing his wife and her lover in the late 1940s. Andy gave us the answer to how to save Shawshank prison, which is a mixed bag of evil and black and white confusion.
Brooks
Bob in the movie, like most people, spent most of his life in Shawshank prison. The first thing he said to Andy was to feed the worms in Andy's rice to the birds that had just been rescued. As the only librarian in the prison, he pushes a cart and asks the prisoners every night, "Do you want books?" This is his job.
Decades are like one day, four seasons change, and the years go back and forth.
It's hard to imagine why such a kind and kind old man was sentenced to life imprisonment in Shawshank prison, but that's not important, as the movie said, "No one in Shawshank prison is guilty."
Finally, the dying old man was paroled, but instead of being happy, he hijacked his cellmate and wanted to stay here. It is difficult for anyone to understand this practice, but Rhett's words give the answer:
What are these walls? Kind of funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Is that enough? As time goes by, you become so dependent on them. That's institutionalized. ? The high walls in the prison are really interesting. When you first went to prison, you hated the high walls around you; Slowly? You are used to living in it; In the end, you will find that you have to rely on it to survive. This is institutionalization. )
Bob lived in Shawshank prison for fifty years. He is used to life here and makes a living from it. To some extent, this is his home, and he has been institutionalized. So when he got out of prison, facing the great changes in the outside world, the faltering old man seemed so helpless and distressing.
To tell the truth, I cried when I saw Lao Bu walking in the street with his legs bent. An old man who has lived in the system for nearly fifty years is so bitter and desolate after leaving the system. Nobody cares about him, and he is annoying everywhere at work. Even Jack, who was adopted at the beginning, never saw him again when he was feeding birds in the park. No one needs him anymore, and Lao Bu knows it very well. So he committed suicide in an unnoticed room.

Andy (male name equals Andrew)
Andy is the protagonist of the whole movie. He was jailed for being framed for killing his wife and her lover. When he first entered prison, he was bullied and engaged in high-intensity work. However, by chance, he showed his unique talent in mathematics, helped the prison guards get a $35,000 inheritance, helped the warden to launder money, and helped others apply for an education fund, which won the support of the prison management. He even wrote to the government every week and set up the Shawshank Prison Library.
In this prison, he is respected by everyone, just like Lao Bu. Andy enjoyed this life, but almost, almost, Andy was institutionalized like Bruce until Tommy died.
Tommy is a young man who was sent to Shawshank prison for stealing, but he was brutally killed by a hypocritical warden because he wanted to be Andy Ping. Tommy's death gave Andy a heavy blow, and because of Tommy's death, it stimulated Andy's desire to escape.
In the end, Andy finally dug out the secret passage and made the warden's evil deeds public. He also went to the place he dreamed of in prison with a new identity.
In Shawshank prison, the unchanging system ruled everything, ruled Bruce, Andy, Rhett and many prisoners like them, and destroyed people's hopes one by one for forty or fifty years. Maybe, maybe it was the high stone wall around Shawshank prison that trapped them at first, but then it was the system and thought that trapped them, so the institutionalized old man didn't want to leave, preferring to stay in Shawshank prison all his life.
Rhett is absolutely right: the high walls in prison are really interesting. When you first went to 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.
Most people in Shawshank prison were sent to mental hospitals. They have no hope and are unwilling to leave. One by one, the old cloth was completely destroyed in the long prison career. I think this is the most vicious system and the most vicious punishment. Turning over a new leaf is not the purpose of Shawshank prison. It's all in Rhett's last parole:
I regret it every day, but not because I was punished. I look back, the little fool who committed a felony. I want to talk to him. I want to reason with him and tell him what is right and wrong. But I can't. The child disappeared and left me with an old man. I have to accept this reality. It doesn't make sense to turn over a new leaf.
