Thoughts change life

Today is my second time watching this movie

When I first watched it, I was only fifteen years old. At that time, the number of films read was small, so I didn't see the meaning of this film. I just think Andy is so awesome! Then there is no more

Today I re-read the classics, which really gained a lot of knowledge. Andy’s kind of spirit is really awesome, even if you are in jail, even if you are sentenced to life imprisonment, you can’t lose hope in life.

I think this is more or less related to Andy's background. He used to be a banker, showing that he has a good education and three views are right. Thought is important. It is the hope for life. The power of dreams has allowed Andy to carve a channel of salvation on the wall for twenty years.

And relying on his knowledge of finances, the warden took a fancy to him in the jail, and he was able to get the money from the warden and escape to Mexico. They also provided the evidence to the newspaper, and the police dealt with the warden and the chief of security in a single shot to prevent future troubles. Visible the importance of knowledge

At the end of the film, the dialogue between Andy and Rhett is too classic. When Andy said that he wanted to open a hotel on the Pacific coast of Mexico and dream of living this life. It can be said that Rhett is dumbfounded, how is this possible? A person who has been sentenced to life imprisonment is daydreaming when he says these words!

This is the gap, the gap in ideas, the gap in value. It is the gap between the people of the world, that’s why there will be successful and unsuccessful people, the poor and the rich, and the story described in this world.

It is not terrible to be trapped by a high wall, because some people cannot be trapped. Birds with full feathers will always belong to the sky and cannot be shut down. But if the mind is trapped by a high wall, people will also be trapped in it

    This is a movie about freedom, friendship, and justice! "Faith is immortal, hope is forever". This is actually the salvation for all of them, but the choice is different.

    It’s a good movie, but it’s far better than this one. Everyone thinks about this movie all day long. In fact, I like Forrest Gump better than the movie of the same year.

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.
