The strong save themselves, the saints cross others

A long road to freedom, a deep wash of the soul, an immortal inspirational classic, "hope" to follow the will of God to sleep peacefully in the hollowed-out "Bible", attached to Andy's tall body, Creeping in the 500-yard sewer, in the end, the only dirty road sent Andy to a beautiful new world. This desperate and heavy journey of redemption comes from the notorious Shawshank Prison, from the original work of thriller master Stephen King, and from the work of philosophical director Darabont. "Shawshank's Redemption" brings about the everlasting sincere friendship, the indomitable soul forging and the endless fire of destiny. Hope does not require enthusiasm, passionate hope is just an inadvertent impulse in the depths of the soul. In prison, when the course of life can only be scaled by time, any soaring enthusiasm can only helplessly raise his hands to disappointment and accept destiny's arrangements fatally. Only people with a clear heart can see the absurdity of life. Otherwise, people can only feel wronged and helpless in the face of injustice, angry and violent in the face of oppression, decay in difficult situations, or even lonely and desperate in ordinary circumstances. Cowardice imprisons the soul of a person, and hopes to feel free. The strong will save themselves, and the saints will help others.

    I like it so much. If I don't watch it, my life is not complete.

    God knows how many times to watch it again. The greatest and most valuable part of it is probably the rich themes nested at multiple levels on the one hand, and an inherent timeless quality and emotional expression on the other hand, so no matter what era the audience is in, what background they come from, and what kind of emotions they hold Mental state, can effectively or even involuntarily relate a certain character or a certain plot.

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • Red: [narrating] Not long after the warden deprived us of his company, I got a postcard in the mail. It was blank, but the postmark said Fort Hancock, Texas. Fort Hancock... right on the border. That's where Andy crossed. When I picture him heading south in his own car with the top down, it always makes me laugh. Andy Dufresne... who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side. Andy Dufresne... headed for the Pacific.

  • Andy Dufresne: [in a letter to Red] Dear Red. If you're reading this, you've gotten out. And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town, don't you?

    Red: Zihuatanejo.

    Andy Dufresne: I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels. I'll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well. Your friend. Andy.
