It has been ten years since Stephen King and Frank Darabont created this great work. I know that beautiful things must be felt by everyone, but I am sorry that my noise will remain the same as before.
In my eyes, Shawshank's salvation is related to faith, freedom and friendship.
[1] Belief
Red said that hope is a dangerous thing and the source of mental distress. He is indeed qualified to say that after 30 years in prison under heavy squeeze. Because from the day he came in, the warden had said, "Give the soul to God, and give me the body." Except for the cigarettes he could get and the poker cards printed with naked women, any other changes in this dark It seems that there is no growth within the high wall.
But Andy told him, "Remember, hope is a good thing—perhaps even the best in the world. And good things never disappear."
So Andy was able to dig a tunnel that Reid thought could not be pierced in 600 years in 20 years. When he finally climbed out of the five hundred yards of foul-smelling sewage pipes, standing in the pouring rain, he couldn't help himself, we seemed to see faith pierce through the shady scenes and strike a dazzling thunderbolt in the dark night. In the light, our cowardly souls appeared under Andy's open arms and trembled.
In the ordinary life, we seem to have become accustomed to step-by-step, accustomed to saying "that is impossible" first, accustomed to no miracles, accustomed to, accustomed to. But as it is said in "One Flew over the Cuckcoo's Nest", "If you don't try, how do you know?"
Try to retain some beliefs before they are lost. They may not be realized in the end, or they may not make us live more meaningfully-even for myself, they will only bring me more sense of nothingness. However, I know how much I need such hypocrisy and self-deception, because you can say that I am dreaming, but I will not be the only one.
——We have seen that when the warden opened the "Bible" containing Andy's stone hammer, he turned to the page of Exodus. This chapter details the Jews' escape from Egypt.
[2] Freedom
I still don’t understand what these two Italian women are singing. In fact, I don't want to understand. Some things don’t say it’s better. I think that is a beautiful state that is beyond description. But it makes you so heartbroken.
The sound soared, high into the clouds, beyond the dream of any prisoner in confinement, like a beautiful bird flying into this gray birdcage, letting those walls disappear, making all the prisoners behind the bars feel a moment free.
When Andy played Le Nozze di Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro) desperately on the prison loudspeaker, the camera slowly passed the prisoners and prison guards who were venting in the square. They stood still, moving, and cast aside all the resentment, viciousness and resentment, and bathed in sunshine that I had never felt so free. Mozart's music spreads over these people, and the beautiful notes from the world seem to wash them all into incomparable purity.
The strong will save themselves, and the saints will help others. Only then did I understand Andy's intentions. When repairing the roof, he won beer for everyone. In fact, he won for everyone the feeling of being at ease as he was repairing his own roof. Therefore, he did not drink, but smiled with great happiness; he put Figaro. The wedding is also to awaken their lost sense of freedom.
However, the strong are in the minority after all. In the face of freedom, more people choose to be imprisoned. Brooks, who has spent fifty years in the prison library, wanted to stay in prison by hurting inmates in order not to be released on parole. Is it weird? Freedom should be what people yearn for and pursue. But Brooks has already been regulated by the prison rules. They need rules and order. Without them, they can't even survive.
"The high walls in prison are really interesting. When you first went to jail, you hated the high walls around you; slowly, you got used to living in it; eventually you will find that you have to rely on it to survive. This is the system. In the mouth of Reid, Stephen King pointed directly to the humble.
Brooks got the freedom of the body, but the soul has been irretrievably institutionalized. He finally failed to get rid of the predicament of being unable to adapt to freedom and committed suicide. As wise as Rhett, after he was released from prison, he also found sadly that he had to report to the manager even when he peeed, otherwise he would not be able to squeeze a drop of urine out. He also considered how to break the rules in order to return to prison, and even considered leaving like Brooks.
Either busy living, or busy for death (Busy for living, or busy for death). People walking in a hurry might stop occasionally and jump out to see what they look like. We will eventually know that people who are accustomed to obeying the rules will pay a huge price to get used to the freedom that belongs to every individual.
[3] Friendship
This film has nothing to do with love, except betrayal. There is only friendship between men in prison. The friendship between Rhett and Andy, placed under the high wall, seems to be purer and cleaner than the friendship in our chaotic world. They are both introverted people, yet they are insightful and agreeable. I like this feeling. So when they finally met on the sunny beach of a small Pacific island, they couldn't help but smile.
If I were in Shawshank, who would I be? If you were in Shawshank, who would you be?
