What did The Shawshank Redemption save?

Answer questions in the cloud and learn from each other.

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

I've watched this movie more than ten times, and I always say that I can't get tired of reading old books. Isn't a 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 on who will cry the first night. Many people think that fragile Andy will cry. As a result, Andy's silence disappointed everyone and made Rhett look at him with new eyes.

Andy doesn't contact anyone and doesn't complain. He walks leisurely in the yard alone 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 legal tax exemption method. In exchange, he won two bottles of beer for a dozen prisoners. At sunset, Rhett sat on the roof drinking beer. He said that he felt free for the first time in many 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 tax issues, and Andy has become an important tool for the warden to launder money.

The arrival of a young prisoner revealed 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 made Andy depressed. One day he suddenly said to Rhett, if you are released one day, you must go somewhere to realize 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 managed to escape from the dirty sewer.

For twenty years, Andy dug a hole with that little hammer every day, and then covered it with a poster. After he got out of prison, he took the black money saved by the warden and denounced the truth of 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 personal letter from Andy, and finally met again on the blue Pacific coast.

In the movie Braveheart, when the hero was hanged, he shouted out two words with his last strength-freedom. And these two words are conveyed to people by the movie The Shawshank Redemption. Besides freedom, there is hope, and 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 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 unimaginable luxury. Freedom at that moment seemed to embrace the whole world.

Andy never despaired of the experience of life, nor did he complain or indulge 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 kind of life we face, we are ashamed of ourselves, shrouded in haze and even suffocated. Don't be discouraged, don't complain, don't complain, don't choose despair and depravity. In order to light the candle of hope in the dark, Andy used an unremarkable little hammer to open a passage to the new world for himself. A single spark can start a prairie fire. Although candlelight is small, it can illuminate the darkness in front of us, even warm the cold soul, and let the solidified hope of suffering melt a little. In fact, each of us will experience a life redemption in our life, and different experiences will lead to different redemption. What is your salvation?

Hello, everyone, I am the pen in the cloud.

Stand 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." In some places, these towering stone walls 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, 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 is full of confidence in hope, he is saved, and Rhett is also full of hope and saved. "I hope I can successfully cross the border. I hope to see my friend again and shake his hand. 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 Xiaoke's Victory, because I hope that everyone who goes to prison can be immune, institutionalized, keep yearning for hope, and firmly believe that good things will bring salvation to the soul. ...

Andy and all the groups who were hurt, insulted and insulted in that high wall were redeemed. Including the notorious warden, also completed redemption through confession.

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

With the continuous fermentation of movie popularity, The Shawshank Redemption, as a classic movie, has also completed a spiritual baptism for those movie audiences who are in adversity, realizing a wider range of comfort and redemption.

It can be said that counterattack and redemption have been achieved in and out of the play.

Andy and his cellmate are 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 cannot 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 that 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 in vain and being sent to prison. In the face of bullying, I did not accept it, but tried to fight back.

Second, look 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. When he roared naked in the rain, my heart was deeply shocked. Not only that, he also testified against the warden.

A strong man can only save himself, and a great man can save others. Andy saved not only himself, but also others. In prison, he persisted for several years and won the funds for the prison library. He is like a bright lamp, which not only illuminates the 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 missed the golden statuette, but became an evergreen tree in the image sales market. All major lists, whether foreign IMDB or domestic douban, are NO, 1. It must have a place in the history of movies.

If Forrest Gump represents the American spirit, then 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 of Shawshank prison and prisoners. The so-called redemption is the first sin before redemption. Andy is innocent. How can we make it right?

Andy just followed his heart and did a series of things to set himself free, but Andy's behavior brought extraordinary significance to his cellmates and Shawshank prison.

I remember a clip in the movie saying that music is not allowed in this prison. Andy came to bring music to this prison. Andy tried to build a library. In movies, books and music symbolize the civilization of human society. Andy, like an angel, brought civilization to the island of Shawshank and redemption to the inmates! 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 was owned by another person. There is a Hebrew word with a similar meaning: "release".

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

The obvious characteristics of redemption:

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

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

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

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

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

In fact, the simplest framework is to lose freedom, endure extreme hardships and gain hope. As long as it goes through three stages of complete maximization, it is the process of redemption!

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

Hope! Tim can see hope in his eyes, which runs through the whole text, frowning slightly and not blinking in the mirror, as if it were unfathomable and bottomless!

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

You can be sure of your trust and play music naughty for everyone once in a while. After the service, you can apply for a few bottles of beer, which not only pleases everyone, but also relaxes the warden's vigilance. This just leaves the possibility of recovery later.

Andy also has a very important friend, that is

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

There is also a librarian, the old man Abu, played by james whitmore.

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

There are some other prisoners who have their own ways to get free, but the ways 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 spend time doing something meaningful, otherwise we will waste our lives and death!

There are blue yacht people here, your professional yacht broker, who love life and never give up!

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

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

When he arrived in prison, being bullied was a trivial matter, and he was targeted by the same sex. I don't know when it will happen. Do you hate defiled bodies?

From being wrongly imprisoned to being humiliated in prison, your body and mind suffered a double blow. Even if you want to escape, will you be treated unfairly by fate, and will you complain about the injustice of fate? Are you sad?

Many people struggle with themselves all their lives, not to mention being wronged in prison or living a free life outside, which is a bit unsatisfactory, and many people will die or even commit suicide! You can't compromise with yourself Isn't running away a walking corpse? What are the chances of escape?

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 destroy myself first and torture myself to death without hesitation! Drinking to drown your sorrows is an example!

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

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

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

(1) Maybe in our life and workplace, there are always a lot of events that bother us and make it difficult for us to get rid of it, or why life always tests the good guys, but the bad guys always live very well.

(2) Yes, "the judgment of the Lord is coming" 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 God judge the wicked. It's just that Andy didn't expect this bad wind to blow for so long.

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

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

(5) Karma is a famous saying, but God didn't deliver it to Andy in time. The real killer continues to be at large, but life chooses to cheat Andy, who is accused of murder and jailed.

Andy is hard to argue because all the evidence points to him. Facing the cruel reality of life imprisonment and all kinds of inhuman torture brought to him by Shawshank prison, Andy has been silently enduring and never complaining.

(7) Andy does not compromise, does not sink, and does not go along 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 a hole to escape; While doing meaningful things, expand the library, help young people like Tommy learn cultural knowledge, establish friendship with Rhett and others, and help others save themselves.

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

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

(1 1) As the saying goes, it's not that we don't report, but that the time has not come. Moreover, 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 for a good man is how to learn to walk in misery like Andy; At the same time, try to do something meaningful. Then, the only way to break through the tight encirclement and save the predicament is not to stop and go forward bravely.

This story happened in 1947, and the banker Andy shot and killed his wife and her lover because they had an affair, so he was accused of shooting and killing his wife and her lover. Andy was sentenced to life-long immigration, which means that he will spend the rest of his life in a prison in Bonn.

Ari was sentenced to indefinite murder on 1927, and partial 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 felt that the wind was weak and the book was angry. Andy will cry. Andy's silence cost him four packs of cigarettes. But at the same time, it also makes Ari look at him differently.

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

Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard prison officials talking about taxes. Andy said he had a way to get prison officials to legally exempt from this huge tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of Asia-Pacific beer for a dozen prisoners' friends. Ali said that drinking beer 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 education of his children began to ask him. At the same time, Andy gradually became an important tool for Shawshank prison guards 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 Ali liked playing harmonica at first, so he bought him one. 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 quiet prison life: the prisoner had heard about Andy's case before serving his sentence in another prison. He knows who the real killer is! However, when Andy asked the warden for a retrial, he was rebuffed and severely punished by two months of solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the prison did not hesitate to design and kill insiders!

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed ... One day, he said to Ali, "If you can get parole one day, you must go somewhere to help me realize a wish." This is my first date with my wife. I dug a box under a big oak tree. You will know what it is when you get there. "That night, the storm, the thunder and Andy who saved his soul managed to escape. For the past twenty years, Andy has dug holes with a pickaxe every day, and then posted them in Shanghai Daily. After Andy got out of prison, he took some money left by the warden and reported the truth of the warden's corruption and bribery. The warden found the Bible left by Andy in his ledger 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 Darabont. 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 people's firm beliefs, and deeply and vividly expounds and discusses 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, did not shine at the Oscar that year, because it lost to the more beautiful "main theme" 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 the stereotype teacher Oscar, and was shortlisted for seven awards, but none of them were given.

The owner of the film is Andy, a successful banker, who was unjustly imprisoned and killed because his wife had an affair. After entering Shawshank prison, he made friends with several inmates, who were energetic and kind-hearted in prison, 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 like a prisoner escaping from an American prison seems to be really no big deal in the United States. But what is shown to us 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 attitudes towards things around them, and all kinds of small and simple happiness in life, showing the small and simple happiness of such a group of people in prison, showing their empty expectations and despair of having to face reality, and their powerless struggle and helplessness in a stagnant prison. But the superb feature of the film lies in creating a subjective paradox, thus creating a myth that appears in reality. When other prisoners asked Andy why he came here, Andy replied, I am innocent. Rhett said that everyone who came here was innocent. Therefore, it is worth pondering, why is this innocent person detained in a guilty place? In the slow development of the plot, it may be understood that the people in prison are innocent, which is not so much ridicule and satire 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 been institutionalized. As Rhett said, you will hate it when you first enter prison, then you will get used to it, and finally 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 he left Xiaoke to win.

Andy, the hero, not only saved himself successfully in 20 years, but also saved his best friend Rhett. Rhett said on his last parole: I have always felt deeply guilty about what I did, not because I am here, nor to please you. Looking back on my detours, I said a word to the stupid young man who committed a felony, telling him how I feel now and that there are other ways to solve the problem, but I can't. Young people have 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 that appears at the end of the film, is both an introduction and an ending. The road to redemption is among them. Because everyone is his own god, if you give up yourself, who will go back to save you? Andy's redemption is not a "prison break", but an insistence on their own beliefs. In the end, choosing to escape decisively is actually the most perfect redemption for myself-I am innocent and I need freedom.

The truly excellent movie is not the 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 overtook the Oscar at that time, it was not because The Shawshank Redemption was not good, but because it lost to the main theme. With the passage of time, The Shawshank Redemption's position in the hearts of fans has been rising, even surpassing 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 movies in the hearts of fans. Do we really know The Shawshank Redemption? What do you mean "redemption"!
