There is a kind of bird that can never be closed because every wing of it is covered with the glory of freedom
I always remember that in the movie, when ANDY talked about his prison escape plan, RED thought he was delusional. At that time, ANDY's response was the following: "fear can hold you prisoner, hope can send you free." Salvation is from the soul. Above: Save yourself from difficulties, redeem past mistakes, and then freedom from the inside out.
There is a kind of bird that can never be closed because every wing of it is covered with the glory of freedom
Don't forget that there is something in this world that can penetrate all high walls. It is deep in our hearts. They can't reach or touch it. That's hope. ——Andy
The wise Rhett immediately retorted: "Let me tell you what hope is, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing, it can make people crazy, and the hope in our hearts is useless. You'd better get used to this idea. "
Andy's salvation-soul salvation of individuals and groups
Heroes transcend the system in their souls. Although their bodies have to obey the constraints of the system, heroes can use their great souls and great actions to continuously change the system and transcend the system. Elites belong to the category of people who have a deep and clear understanding of the system and who have tried to resist but finally choose to compromise. What the elite and the hero have in common is that in the depths of the soul, both have hope. The difference between an elite and a hero is that in addition to believing in hope spiritually, heroes also try to change the system in action. This kind of brilliant and intelligent endeavor is exactly what makes a hero a hero. Although the elites still have faith in hope in their souls, they have completely abandoned the possibility of resistance in their actions. Although they have not been institutionalized in their souls, they have been completely institutionalized in their bodies. Secondly, it is the vast majority of the general public (that is, people like you and me) who have also tried to resist, but under the powerful institutionalization force, they are unfortunately completely institutionalized from the spirit to the body. In the end, it was the losers who were eliminated. They became the sacrificial offerings of the system and were quickly submerged in the whirlpool of institutionalization.
Redemption is in you and me
It is not difficult to understand that Shawshank is just a fable, it actually exists in our real life. Everyone in reality is consciously or unconsciously playing the role of prisoner or prison in Shawshank. Most of us will be reduced to the fate of Lao Bu, and will gradually be institutionalized until we are heavily dependent on the system, and we will never go beyond the rules throughout our lives. Any kind of organization, system, and society can regard Shawshank as a microcosm. For example, the university is a Shawshank castle to some extent. When we leave this castle, most of us are destined to be institutionalized. Even when we enter society, the erosion of people by the system has never stopped. Social history is constantly advancing in the cycle of institutionalization and anti-antibody institutionalization. However, salvation is entirely our own choice. Just like Andy's choice, no matter how powerful the system is, we can never deprive us of the right to choose salvation, because, Salvation exists in our hearts, which is a place that no power can reach. To being, or not to being, to choose salvation or despair, to choose heroes or to choose the masses, to choose God or to choose Satan, all of these are in our hearts.
In the valley of despair, where is God? Everyone is his own God. If you give up yourself, who else will save you? Everyone is busy, some are busy living, some are busy dying (Get busy living or get busy dying). You who are busy chasing fame and fortune, and you who are busy chasing fame and fortune, stop and think for a second: Has your brain been institutionalized? Where is your God? Where is your salvation?
Believe in yourself, don't give up hope, don't give up hard work, and patiently wait for your own brilliance in your life. This is my "Shawshank Redemption".
