"Shawshank's Redemption" mainly tells a series of things that happened in the prison of the two protagonists Andy and Reid and how Andy redeemed himself and the people in prison step by step. The most touching thing about this movie is Andy's persistence and yearning for freedom and hope. He has not given up his belief in hope under any circumstances. Andy’s pursuit of freedom and hope is the most admirable. For him, even just a moment of spiritual freedom is very precious. For this reason, he let the inmates drink cold beer that could not be drunk. ; He insisted on carving stones, even if he went to jail, he did not abandon his interest; in order to relive the beauty of music, he did not hesitate to violate the prison rules and was imprisoned alone for 2 weeks; in order to build a library, insisted to write a letter every 2 weeks , 6 years uninterrupted; in order to escape from prison, in 19 years with a small hammer to dig out a tunnel. None of this reflects his pursuit of freedom. Andy is also an extremely smart person. He knows how to use all resources to achieve his goals. He used his wisdom to change everything in the prison. At the same time, many people have received spiritual salvation. Reid is another important character in this movie, and the movie tells everything about Andy from his perspective. If Andy hadn't appeared, maybe Rhett would follow in the footsteps of Laobu. However, Andy not only rescued himself, but also rescued Reid and many people in the prison. The existence of Reid is also one of the important media for Andy's ultimate success in escape. The examples of Reid and Lao Bu also make us realize the terrible of institutionalization. Once a person is institutionalized, once he leaves the system, he will not survive. The main purpose of the film is to tell us not to give up hope at any time and in any place. Just as Andy used his actions step by step to redeem everyone, but at the same time he also rescued himself, and finally allowed himself to live in a free world. Watching this video, we learned that no matter when or where, we should not give up our hopes. Only by persevering, we will be able to succeed one day.

    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.

    A good movie is worth watching over and over again, and this is one.

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • Red: [Narrating] There must be a con like me in every prison in America. I'm the guy who can get if for you; cigarettes, a bag of reefer, if that's your thing, a bottle of brandy to celebrate your kid's high school graduation, damn near anything within reason. Yes sir, I'm a regular Sears and Roebuck.

  • Andy Dufresne: ...or come to think of it, I suppose I could set it up for you. That would save you some money. I'll write down the forms you need, you can pick them up, and I'll prepare them for your signature... nearly free of charge... I'd only ask three beers apiece for my co-workers, if that seems fair. I think a man working outdoors feels more like a man if he can have a bottle of suds. That's only my opinion.
