The movie "The Shawshank Redemption" is a classic inspirational movie that I have to watch. The film was released in the United States in 1994 and won many Oscars. This film has been competing with The Godfather for the first place in IMDB, and in recent years it has been the first in film history. Perhaps many people will ask, why is the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" so attractive and can be recognized by the audience? What does the film convey to people?

I've watched this movie more than ten times, and I often say that old books are never tired of reading them. Isn't the movie a book? Every time there will be new discoveries and new insights.

Let's briefly review the plot first: it mainly tells that Andy, a banker, was accused of shooting his wife and lover, and was finally sentenced to life imprisonment, which means that he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank prison. Whenever a new prisoner comes, people bet who will cry on the first night. Many people think that Andy, who is fragile, will cry. As a result, Andy's silence disappoints everyone and makes Rhett sit up and take notice of him.

Andy doesn't contact anyone and doesn't complain. He takes a leisurely walk alone in the yard every day, just like in the park. Later, Andy asked Rhett to help him get a small hammer on the grounds of carving things to kill time. Soon Rhett played chess carved by Andy. After that, Andy made a poster of Zhang Mingxing and put it on the wall of his cell.

Andy overheard the prison officer talking about taxes when he went out to work. He boldly went up and said that he had a way to legally exempt taxes. In exchange, he won two bottles of beer for a dozen prisoners. Sitting on the roof at sunset and drinking beer, Rhett said he felt free for the first time in years.

Because Andy is proficient in financial knowledge, he has since got rid of manual labor and the harassment of abnormal prisoners. More and more prison guards are looking for Andy to deal with the tax problem, and Andy has also become an important tool for the warden to launder money.

The arrival of a young prisoner told the truth that Andy had been wronged. When Andy asked the warden to reopen the case, he was rejected and severely punished by two months' imprisonment. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the warden designed and killed the insider.

The cruel reality Andy became depressed. One day he suddenly said to Rhett, If you are released one day, you must go somewhere to fulfill a wish for me. That's where he dated his wife. Dig out a box under a big oak tree there. You'll know what to do then. That night, it was stormy and thunderous, and Andy escaped from the dirty sewer successfully.

For twenty years, Andy dug a hole with that small hammer every day, and then covered the hole with posters. After he got out of prison, he took away the black money saved by the warden and told on the truth about corruption and bribery. Later, Rhett was also released. He found an iron box under the oak tree agreed with Andy, which contained some cash and a handwritten letter from Andy, and finally met again on the blue Pacific coast.

In the movie Braveheart, when the hero was hanged, he used his last strength to shout out two words-freedom. And these two words are exactly what the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" conveys to people. Besides freedom, there is hope that people should never give up.

Redemption in movies is also the redemption of freedom and hope, and it also implies the redemption of justice. Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand the weight and value of freedom without being in a specific environment. When Andy used his courage and ability to exchange beer and rest for everyone, although it was so short, it was also an extravagant hope that people dared not imagine. The freedom of that moment seemed to embrace the world.

Andy has never been desperate about the experience of life, nor has he complained or indulged like others. Have some hope every day and put it into your own efforts and actions. It is this endless hope that has become the driving force in the face of suffering and misfortune.

In life, no matter what life we face, we are ashamed of ourselves, covered with haze or even suffocated. Don't be discouraged, blame and complain, and don't choose despair and degeneration. To light the candlelight of hope in the dark, Andy used a humble little hammer to carve a passage for himself to the new world. A single spark can start a prairie fire. Candlelight, though small, can illuminate the darkness in front of our eyes, and even warm the cold soul, so that the hope solidified by suffering will melt a little. In fact, each of us will experience a life redemption in our life, and different experiences will lead to different redemptions. What is your salvation?

Hello, everyone, I'm Pen in the Cloud.

One stop to the end? Not this level.

Hope is redemption!

Just as when talking about the mystery of music, Andy firmly believes in hope, "in the brain, in the heart, that is the treasure they can't take away." Some places are these towering stone walls, which can't be closed; There are some things in your heart that these people can't touch and take away, and they belong to you completely-hope! "

Or in Andy's letter to Rhett at the end of the movie: "Hope is a good thing and the best thing in the world, and good things never die."

Good things will come with hope ...

Andy's hope is, "Sivatanejo-I want to spend the rest of my life there, open a small hotel ... just buy a worthless old boat on the beach, come back and renovate it, and take my guests fishing ..."

Because Andy was full of confidence in hope, he was redeemed, and at the same time, Rhett was full of hope and was redeemed. "I hope I can successfully cross the border. I hope to see my friend again and shake hands with him. I hope the Pacific Ocean is as blue as my dream. I hope ..."

That's why this book is not called Andy's Redemption, but Xiao Shengke's Redemption, because it is hoped that everyone who goes to prison can be immune and institutionalized, can still maintain their yearning for hope, and can firmly believe that good things will bring salvation to the soul ...

Andy and all the groups that were damaged and damaged, insulted and insulted in that high wall were redeemed. Including the notorious warden, also completed the redemption by pleading guilty.

Even the director's frustration with the bleak box office vanished because of the big sale of the video.

As the popularity of the film continues to ferment, Shawshank Redemption, as a classic film, and those movie audiences who are in adversity have also completed a spiritual baptism and realized a wider range of comfort and redemption.

It can be said that in and out of the play, it has achieved counterattack and redemption.

Both Andy and his cellmate have been locked in the high wall of the prison to survive. The Shawshank Redemption tells us that even in the lowest valley of life, God has not given up on us, and there is still courage, hope and free candlelight in those corners where the sun can't shine.

The Shawshank Redemption is an American film, which expounds the great way of redemption. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were bewitched by snakes and stole figs, which were considered unclean and sinful. Therefore, people are born guilty and must be redeemed.

And how to achieve redemption, the film gives the answer.

First, have courage. Andy didn't give up after fighting ineffectively and being sent to prison. In the face of bullying, I didn't accept it, but tried to fight back.

Second, looking for hope. When Andy came in, he should have made up his mind to escape and thought of a feasible plan. Whether it is a poster, a hammer or the Bible, it has become an important part of his huge escape plan. During Shawshank's years, he made it a reality bit by bit.

Third, regain freedom. On that night of thunder and lightning, Andy finally escaped from the high wall, and my heart was deeply shocked when he roared naked in the rain. Not only that, he also testified against the warden.

A strong man can only save himself, and a great man can save others. Andy not only saved himself, but also saved others. In prison, he persisted for several years and won the funds for the prison library. Like a bright light, he not only illuminates his way home, but also warms others.

In fact, the film itself is a song of redemption. The box office of The Shawshank Redemption was bleak, and it lost to Forrest Gump in that year's Oscar contest. But gold always shines, and its light can't even cover up the dust of time. He lost touch with the little golden statuette, but became an evergreen tree in the video sales market. All the major lists, whether it is IMDB abroad or douban in China, are NO, 1. There must be a place for it in the film history.

If Forrest Gump represents the American spirit, The Shawshank Redemption symbolizes human courage, hope and freedom. Even through the screen, we can hit the softest place in our hearts.

The protagonist of The Shawshank Redemption is Andy. Many people think that redemption is Andy's redemption for himself, but it is not. The so-called redemption is Andy's redemption for Shawshank prison and inmates. The so-called redemption is the first sin before redemption. Andy is innocent, so how can he be redeemed?

Andy just followed his heart and did a series of things that made him free, but Andy's actions brought extraordinary significance to his cellmates and Shawshank prison.

I remember there was a clip in the film that music was not allowed in this prison. Andy came to bring music to this prison, and Andy tried to build a library. Books and music symbolized the civilization in human society in the film. Andy, like an angel, brought civilization to Shawshank, an isolated island, and brought salvation to his cellmates! And Andy's escape from prison, his yearning for freedom, also brought hope for the future to the prisoners, which is also a kind of redemption!

The Shawshank Redemption

What is redemption?

Redemption is to buy back the property that was originally yours but owned by another person. There is a Hebrew word with a similar meaning: "release".

Redemption, generally explained, refers to the redemption of people who have become slaves and prisoners and their freedom; From the perspective of religious belief, it means to redeem the soul that has fallen into sin and fallen into darkness and give it real liberation, light and free life.

The obvious characteristics of redemption:

1, redemption behavior must have three subjects-the seller, the seller and the buyer.

2. Redemption requires that the redeemer must pay a certain price to the seller in exchange for the seller.

3. After the redemption, the seller must completely disconnect from the seller and become an accessory of the redeemer.

4. After the redemption, the redeemer must release the seller and set him free.

However, the characteristics of this redemption in The Shawshank Redemption are not obvious, the nature of maturity is the same, and the media are different.

In fact, the simplest framework is to lose freedom, bear extreme hardships and gain hope. As long as it is completely and maximally experienced three stages, it is the process of redemption!

Back in the play, Andy's actor Tim Robbins' face lit up. We can see from the following photos.

Hope! Hope can be seen in Tim's eyes, which runs through the whole text, frowning slightly and not blinking his glasses, as if unfathomable and bottomless!

Andy is a man of culture, and his own culture makes him have the possibility of redemption. Along the way, Andy is wiser than a fool. When he was appointed by the warden,

You can be sure of your trust, and occasionally play music mischievously for everyone. After the service, you can apply for a few bottles of beer, which not only pleases everyone, but also makes the warden relax his vigilance. This just left the possibility of redemption later.

Andy also has a very important friend, that is

Rhett, played by Morgan Freeman, is also very important, because he has also been redeemed, but the way of redemption is different from Andy's. Rhett's way is to apply for early release and make Andy a friend. Only in this way can we live a free life later. In fact, after Rhett was released, he found a job and didn't complete the redemption. He just changed to a place to be redeemed, and the redemption was not completed until he chose to find Andy. Because at this time he was truly free.

There is also a librarian, the old man Abu, played by James Whitmore.

For him, prison is freedom, and leaving prison is entering a miserable life. The curator Abu doesn't want to leave the prison.

There are some other prisoners, in order to get freedom, each has its own way, but the way may not be successful. Who knows which way is right in Qian Qian?

That's redemption. That's it, possession, loss, hope!

This sentence is also my favorite. We should take the time to do something meaningful, or we will waste our lives and die!

Here is Blue Yacht Man, your professional yacht broker, who loves life and never gives up!

Salvation is to compromise with yourself! Some people are sick to death by themselves!

My wife is having an affair with someone else, but she is put in prison, or life imprisonment. Do you think it's wrong?

When you get to prison, being bullied is a trivial matter, and you are also eyeing his body by the same sex, and you don't know when it will happen. Do you hate the defiled body?

From being wrongfully imprisoned to being humiliated in prison, your mind and body are dealt a double blow. Even if you hope to escape, will you be treated unfairly by fate, and you will complain about the unfairness of fate? Do you feel sad in your heart?

Many people struggle with themselves all their lives, not to mention being wronged in prison, that is, living a free life outside, which is a bit unsatisfactory, and there are many people who will die or even kill themselves! You can't compromise with yourself. Aren't you a walking corpse if you escape? What's the hope of escape?

The fate is that an invisible hand of God is around, and some people are desperate and angry when facing the status quo! When something happens, I don't think about how to solve the problem, but I destroy myself first and torture myself to death without hesitation! Those who drink to drown their sorrows are examples!

So The Shawshank Redemption, on the surface, is the hope of escaping from prison, but in fact, he warns us to learn to compromise with imperfect us and forgive imperfect fate!

Redeem the broken soul first, then you can have the escaped soul!

Perhaps to express, if life deceives you, what should you do?

(1) Maybe there are always a lot of events in our life and workplace, which bother us and make us hard to get rid of, or why life always tests good people, while evil people always live extremely well.

(2) Yes, "the judgment of the Lord is coming quickly" is a hope for a kind person like Andy, which indicates that he will one day escape from the cage with the help of the Lord and return his innocence. Let the wicked be judged by the Lord. It's just that Andy didn't expect this bad wind to blow for so long.

(3) For warden Norton and police captain Haley and others, the evil will come to an end, and "the judgment of the Lord will come quickly". As the saying goes, there is no place to reason, then there is justice. If there is no justice, then there is justice.

(4) Andy, an objective and rational banker, loves his wife deeply, but because he is not good at expressing it, the relationship between the two people goes further and further, until his wife cheated, was accidentally murdered by a habitual thief named Ermo, and died with his lover.

(5) The famous saying that what goes around comes around comes around, but God didn't deliver it to Andy in time. The real murderer continued to get away with it, but life chose to cheat Andy, who was accused of murder and jailed.

(6) Andy has a hard time arguing, because all the evidence points to him. Faced with the cruel reality of life imprisonment and all kinds of inhuman torture brought to him by Shawshank prison, Andy has always endured silently and never complained.

(7) Andy is uncompromising, not sinking, and not colluding with others. He is like a warrior walking in suffering, always creating and looking for opportunities for the hope in his heart. To this end, he constantly used his wisdom and talent to silently confront and deal with the evil around him.

(8) Andy insists on digging holes to prepare for escape; While doing meaningful things, expanding the library, helping young people like Tommy learn cultural knowledge, and establishing friendship with Rhett and others to help others save themselves.

(9) Finally, Warden Norton murdered Tommy who can testify for Andy. Andy finally rose up in despair, and he continued to use his professional knowledge to launder money for Norton. On the one hand, he began a struggle with Norton in the cracks.

(10) When Andy fled, it was the moment when Norton and others accepted the judgment of the Lord, just as the embroidered picture on the wall of Norton's own office wrote, "The judgment of the Lord came quickly."

(11) As the saying goes, it's not that we don't report it, but that it's not time. Moreover, even more ironically, Norton once told Andy that the road to redemption was in that Bible, and Andy hid the pebble hammer in that book to avoid repeated searches in the prison.

(12) So, what if you are suddenly teased and "cheated" by life and fate? Don't worry, perhaps the biggest test of a good man is how to learn to walk in misery like Andy; While trying to do something meaningful. Then, not stopping, just moving forward is the only way to break through the tight encirclement and save the predicament.

This story happened in 1947, when Andy, a banker, shot and killed his wife and her lover because of her extramarital affairs, so he was accused of shooting and killing his wife and his lover. Andy was sentenced to life immigration, which means that he will spend the rest of my life in Yu En's prison.

Ari was convicted of murder indefinitely on 1927, and some parole was unsuccessful. He has now become an "authority figure" in Sean's prison. As long as you can afford it, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, wine and even marijuana. Every time a new prisoner comes, everyone will bet who will cry on the first night. Ali thought the wind was weak and the book was angry. Andy would cry, and Andy's silence cost him four packs of cigarettes. But at the same time, it makes Ari look at him in a different way.

For a long time, Andy didn't meet anyone. Although everyone complained, he walked leisurely in the yard, just like in the park. A month later, Andy asked Ali to help him with his pickaxe first. His explanation was that he wanted to carve some small things to kill time, and said that he tried to escape from prison. Routine inspection. Soon, Ali played Andy's chess. Later, Andy posted another huge poster of Rita Gerbasi on the wall of his cell.

Once, Andy went out to work with several other prisoners, and he overheard prison officials talking about taxes. Andy said he had a way to get prison officials to legally exempt from this big tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of asia pacific breweries for a dozen prisoners' friends. Drinking beer, Ali said, was the first time he felt free.

Because of Andy's understanding of the financial system, he soon got rid of heavy physical labor and harassment of other abnormal prisoners. Soon, the famous Andy began to deal with tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even the children's education began to ask him. At the same time, Andy gradually became an important tool for Shawshank prisoner watchers to pay. When Andy continued to write to the governor, he finally applied for a small sum of money to build the prison library. Prison life is very talkative and you can always find something to do. Andy heard that Ari liked playing harmonica at first and bought one for him. After the dead of night, you can hear the melodious and slight harmonica echo in the prison.

The arrival of a young prisoner broke Andy's peaceful life in prison: the prisoner had heard of Andy's case before serving his sentence in another prison. He knows who the real killer is! However, when Andy asked the warden to ask for a retrial, he was absolutely refused and severely punished by two months of solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the prison did not hesitate to design the killing of insiders!

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed ... One day, he said to Ali, "If one day you can get parole, you must go somewhere to fulfill a wish for me." This is my first date with my wife. I dug a box under a big oak tree. You know what it is when you get there. "That night, storm, thunder and Andy who saved his soul escaped successfully. For the past twenty years, Andy has dug holes with a pickaxe every day, and then covered them with posters. After Andy got out of prison, he took some money left by the warden and reported the truth about the warden's corruption and bribery. The warden saw the copy of the Bible left by Andy in his own account book safe. The hollowed-out part of the prison was placed on an almost circular pick.

Ali was released. He found a box of cash under the oak tree. Two old friends finally got together on a sunny beach in Mexico.

The Shawshank Redemption, also known as Stimulation 1995, is a classic of American director Frank Dalabont. The film is magnificent, profound in connotation, classic in characters and skillful in artistic techniques. The film deeply criticizes the American judicial system and prison system, endlessly praises the firm belief in people's hearts, and makes a deep and vivid explanation and discussion on the benefits of friendship and life. This is a natural and elegant picture of life with a realistic coat but an extremely romantic core, which is worth collecting and pondering for a long time.

However, this classic, which was shot in 1994, didn't shine at the Oscar that year, because it lost to the more beautiful "main melody" movie Forrest Gump, and it is still a classic. This year, "The Shawshank Redemption" seems to be a naughty boy, who was selected as a "good student" by Oscar, a rigid teacher, and was shortlisted for seven awards, but none of them were given.

The owner of the film is Andy, a successful banker, but he was unjustly imprisoned because his wife had an affair and was killed at the same time. After entering Shawshank prison, he made friends with several inmates, who had a lot of energy in prison and were kind-hearted, and became close friends with Red, a black man who failed to be paroled many times. In fact, the content is not complicated, but a seemingly trivial matter such as a prisoner escaping from a prison in the United States seems to be really not a big deal in the United States. But what is shown to us in it is the confusion, pain, struggle, expectation, despair and simple happiness of the little people in the play.

It tells the trivial details of their lives, their attitude towards the things around them, and all kinds of small and simple happiness in their lives, showing the small and simple happiness of such a group of people in prison, showing their empty expectations and despair of having to deal with reality, as well as their powerless struggle and helplessness in a prison like stagnant water. But the superb feature of the film lies in creating a paradox of subjectivity, thus creating a myth that appears in reality. When other inmates asked Andy why he came here, Andy replied, I'm innocent. Rhett said that everyone who came here was innocent. Therefore, it is worth pondering why the guilty place will hold this innocent person? In the slow development of the plot, it may be understood that the people in prison are innocent, which is not so much a ridicule and irony as a kind affirmation of human expectations. The influence of the environment on people is subtle and far-reaching, and most people in prisons have become institutionalized. As Rhett said, you will hate it when you first enter prison, then you will get used to it, and in the end you will find that you can't live without it, and you can't live without it. This is why Lao Bu hanged himself after leaving Xiao Shengke.

Andy, the hero, not only successfully redeemed himself in 20 years, but also saved his best friend Rhett. On his last parole, Rhett once said: I feel deeply guilty about what I have done all the time, not because I am here or trying to please you. Looking back on the detours I have taken, I said something to the stupid young man who committed a felony, telling him how I feel now and telling him that there are other ways to solve the problem, but I can't. The young man has long been submerged in the long river of years, leaving only an old man to face the past alone. Turn over a new leaf It's just a lie!

The Bible, an important prop appearing at the end of the film, is both an introduction and an ending. The way to salvation is in it. Because everyone is his own god, if you give up yourself, who will go back to save you? Andy's pair's redemption is not a "prison break", but an insistence on his own beliefs. In the end, choosing a decisive escape from prison is actually the most perfect redemption for myself-I am innocent and I need freedom.

A truly excellent film is not a fast food culture. What is important is that it can reflect the reality of society, the truth of human nature and the value of life, touch people's hearts, touch people's souls and arouse people's thinking and memories. The Shawshank Redemption is such a perfect film. Although Forrest Gump covered his edge at the Oscar at that time, it was not because Shawshank was not good, but because he lost to the main theme. With the passage of time, the status of "The Shawshank Redemption" has been rising in the hearts of fans, even more than "Forrest Gump", and the rating of the film is even more frightening. It can be said that The Shawshank Redemption is almost one of the most classic films in the hearts of fans. Do we really understand The Shawshank Redemption? What is the "redemption"!
