"The Shawshank Redemption"
"Shawshank's Redemption" is undoubtedly a good movie, no fierce action, no stunt, no beauty, but still able to deeply impress the audience, and experienced ten years of unabated charm, it rely on what attracts us?
Some say it reflects the "toughness of life." Indeed, with only a small hammer, spent nearly 20 years in a very strict control of the fascist prison dredged an escape route, is not it reflects the toughness of human life it?
Therefore, some people think that "Shawshank's Redemption" reflects the fact that "hope" is so precious to people. Yes, there are many places where the hope is spoken directly. For example, Andy said in a letter to Rhett after he jailed: "Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies." Perhaps this is exactly what the work and director want to tell us. "Fear can hold you prisoner, Hope can set you free." This sentence has become famous.
"Some birds can not stand it, their wings are too bright."
"Hope is a good thing, perhaps the best in the world, and the good things never go away," I think this is the crowning touch of the film. The hero of the story, Andy, was charged with murder and served a prison sentence. However, this did not make him lose the courage to live, Andy still maintain the usual calm, rational, gentle, clothes are still decent, clean and tidy, and even his face often filled with the luster of hope, without any dull expressions, As if he was not serving his sentence in prison, he was on holiday here.
Rhett said: "The prison wall is really interesting. At first you hated the surrounding walls. Slowly, you got used to living in it. Eventually you find yourself having to rely on it to survive. That is institutionalization." The practice of this law is the old cloth. He is a jail librarian, serving 50 years in Shawshank prison, and can say that almost all of his life was spent in Shashenkor. After being informed that he was being released on parole, he not only did not feel happy, but was rather scared. Finally, the old cloth chose to commit suicide because of being unable to adapt to outside life. What a sad thing.
This movie, people of different experiences can see different contents. The high wall is not only a prison, but also the society, organization, class, family, etc. that we live in. Where such freedom is limited and where hope is lost, People do not give up longing for freedom, try their best to fight, and for that erratic hope, eventually achieve relative freedom. Some people no longer desire for freedom, but find their ultimate value in this hopeless place, as if those Betting people, in the difficult situation since unable to fight, simply have fun. Some people have been institutionalized, I do not know what freedom, have the opportunity to a free world, but do not know how to survive. Not only the movie, the world, probably the same way.
We hope that each of us will have the yearning for freedom and the resilience to life.
