"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.
