      1. Interior, cabin, night, 1946
      A dark and empty room.
      The door was knocked open. A man and a woman come in. They were obviously drunk and looked horny. As soon as the door closed, they couldn't wait to start tearing each other's clothes, kissing and stroking each other.
      The man groped, trying to turn on the light, but knocked it over. But he didn't care...

      The Shawshank Redemption

      I watched this film when I was a freshman, and I watched it again two years later, and I am going to write about my personal feelings. When I watched it for the first time, the biggest shock to me was the ending of the movie. I don't know how to describe the mood at that time. Although the ending was not so unexpected, it gave me some indescribable thoughts. But when I look at it again, I have a different idea, that is, hope and freedom.
        The second time I watched it, I liked the whole...

      The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people.

      "Some man's wings are so radiant that even the darkest prison in the world cannot hold him for long..." The

      story takes place in 1947, when banker Andy was accused of shooting his wife and her lover. Sentenced to life imprisonment, which means he will spend the rest of his life in Schoenke prison. Unjustly imprisoned, coupled with the poor living environment, Andy's first days in prison were very negative.
      But there is a saying that as long as a person has faith, no matter how...

      It is necessary to write a review... The Shawshank Redemption

      In the late 1940s, Andy, an accomplished young banker, was jailed for allegedly killing his wife and her lover. When I first saw this movie, one side was the banker's wife making out with her lover, and the other side was the banker Andy struggling in the car and getting angry (you shouldn't be in the car, you should be under the car...), I knew it An accident is going to happen, but the murderer is not him, but he is still in prison.
      A group of new prisoners came. Old Rhett made a bet...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The American Humanitarian Association supervised the shooting of all the crows involving Brooks in the film. In one scene, Brooks fed maggots to his crow. The association believed that the maggots were not "humane" and asked them to use a maggot that died naturally. The crew had no choice but to follow suit.
    In the film, the photo posted on the parole file of the character played by Morgan Freeman, Reid, is actually Freeman's youngest...

    Creation Background

    Stephen King, the author of the original novel , helped the new director establish a reputation through the Dollar Baby program .

This was the first collaboration between the two.

    Cast

    Recommended by producer Liz Glozer, Morgan Freeman was selected as the "white Irishman" Red in the original novel. Red’s English "Red" also means red because red hair is in Ireland. Very common among people. When Andy asked about the origin of Rhett's nickname in the film, Rhett answered "Maybe because I am Irish". Freeman deliberately refrained from studying the role he needed to play. His reasoning was that "playing a prisoner does...

    Post Production

    "Shawshank's Redemption" pays tribute to Allen Greene (Allen Greene) who was once the director's agent and died of AIDS during the filming of the film. The first cut of the film lasted nearly two and a half hours. The producer Liz Glozer thought it was too long, so he cut out multiple shots. For example, the bridge section for Reid to adapt to outside life would have been longer after he was released from prison. Director De Labont...

    Music Production

    The soundtrack of the film was composed by Thomas Newman. He felt that even the absence of music in the film was enough to generate strong appeal, so it was difficult to take the plot to a new level without ensuring that the music did not distract the audience. The music that sounded after Andy escaped from prison was called "Shawshank Redemption". The theme was originally composed of three notes, but the director felt that this was...

    Europe and America

    The public’s immense love for the "Shawshank's Redemption" film may be due to Thomas Newman’s bitter soundtrack, but more importantly, the touching characterization and deep friendship between Robbins and Freeman. Highlight the enduring resilience of the human spirit. ("Hollywood Reporter" review)

    Asian Evaluation

    "Shawshank's Redemption" is undoubtedly a good film, with no movements, no special effects, and even no beauties, but it still impresses the audience, and has been fascinating over the years. What does it rely on to attract the audience? Some people say it is because it reflects the "resilience of human nature." Indeed, with a small hammer, in the past 20 years, a small escape tunnel was dug in a fascist prison with extremely strict...

    Movie quotes

    • Red: [narrating, referring to Andy] I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby. He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here. He strolled, like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world, like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place. Yeah, I think it would be fair to say... I liked Andy from the start.

    • [Playing checkers]

      Red: King me.

      Andy Dufresne: Chess. Now there's a game of kings.

      Red: What?

      Andy Dufresne: Civilized. Strategic...

      Red: ...and a total fuckin' mystery. I hate it.

    • Tommy Williams: So I'm backing out the door, right, and I got the TV, like this; it was a big old thing, I couldn't see shit; suddenly I hear this voice, "Police, kid, hands in the air." You know, I was standing there, holdin' on to that TV, so finally the voice says, "You hear what I said, boy?" And I say, "Yes sir, I sure did, but if I drop this fucking thing you got me on destruction of property too."
