The Shawshank Redemption

There are some movies that can't be met. This "encounter" can only be an unexpected encounter, and a prepared encounter will overshadow everything. Forgetting what year it was, I somehow rented a VCD called "Stimulation 1995". At that time, I didn’t know who was Tim Robbins and who was Morgan Freeman. I only knew that I was chasing it all day long. Andy Lau and Faye Wong were spinning around, everything seemed to be God's will, so I watched the film silently, unconsciously, and inexplicably. Just like I never wanted to be bewitched by "Brave Heart" again, when Wallace called out freedom, although the blood boiled at that moment, it gradually cooled down but looked extremely pale. Do we need freedom, do we just need freedom, what kind of freedom do we need?

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • [after Brooks held a knife to Heywood's throat]

    Andy Dufresne: I just don't understand what happened in there.

    Heywood: Old man's crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse, is what.

    Red: Oh Heywood, that's enough out of you!

    Ernie: I heard he had you shittin' in your pants!

    Heywood: Fuck you!

    Red: Would you knock it off? Brooks ain't no bug. He's just... just institutionalized.

    Heywood: Institutionalized, my ass.

    Red: The man's been in here fifty years, Heywood. Fifty years! This is all he knows. In here, he's an important man. He's an educated man. Outside, he's nothin'! Just a used up con with arthritis in both hands.

  • Red: [narrating, referring to the warden committing suicide] I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
