have never thought of writing a film review for "Shawshank's Redemption", perhaps because I was afraid to expose myself as a junior fan of the world, perhaps because I really don’t want to go too much to such a film that cannot be copied. Filed. However, an unexpectedly bad cold made me lie in bed, and I no longer had the energy to digest my pretendingly advanced movies that I kept keeping but didn’t bother to watch, unexpectedly picked up "Shawshank’s Redemption", no Thinking of moving myself again, it's just that we met again inexplicably in the northern winter afternoon.
2.
There are some movies in memory 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.
From then on, I stubbornly believed in the same feeling that movies can bring, called happiness. This happiness hit my whole body at that moment-when Andy escaped from the dirty pipe, I didn't know why, I was weak and unable to speak.
3. Smile
Looking at "Shawshank's Redemption" again, I understand Andy's peaceful and mysterious smile. One time was to win the cold beer in winter for the inmates, and the other time was to play the heavenly song to the inmates. Andy's eyes were vague and calm, and there was a seemingly non-existent smile on the corner of his mouth. He did not hesitate to exchange for a month of claustrophobia, not just the feeling of freedom.
Just like I never want to be bewitched by "Brave Heart" again, when Wallace called out freedom, although the blood boiled at that moment, it gradually became pale after cooling down. Do we need freedom, do we just need freedom, what kind of freedom do we need?
At this moment, I was only moved by Andy's serene and mysterious smile.
4. I hope
these two words are so commonplace. However, Andy tells Reid that hope is the best in the world. Maybe love is more valuable than life, freedom may be more valuable than love, but what is more valuable than freedom can only be hope.
No matter how unbearable life is, it is not a reason to despair. Reid kept saying that the institutionalization killed Lao Bu, and when Reid also wanted to follow Lao Bu's footsteps, Andy's words resolved his fate, didn't they, either busy living or busy dying, that's all.
5.
Why are you alive? There is no standard answer, because you can't help but be alive. However, how to live, the history of man has given clear ways to live. Andy gave us another reason to live for truth, goodness and beauty, just as the warden gave us a reason to live for fake, evil and ugliness. It is wisdom. It was the prison library built by Andy and his method to win over the warden and prison guards. Without wisdom, he can only resign himself to fate. Kindness is love and hatred. It is the beer and music that Andy won for the inmates. It is the high-five of us when the warden committed suicide. Beauty is hope, Andy’s serene and mysterious smile, the rebirth in the rain when he climbs out of the smelly pipe, and the tranquil blue of the Gulf of Mexico.
6. The reality The
reality is that I am still ill. Although the cold is small, it can be painful to get rid of it. This is incomparable to Andy's 20 years of forbearance, let alone Reid's 40 years of fate. The disease can be cured, what about fate? Andy doesn't give me the hysteria that man can conquer the sky, how can man conquer the sky? Andy doesn't give me the hysterical idea of defeating myself, how can the person sitting on the stool be able to lift the stool?
Andy convinced me of hope. He convinced me that even if the plan to excavate the tunnel failed, he would still retain hope; even in the face of irreparable death, he still has a perseverance that no one can stop, just like no one can take away what is in his mind. Like Mozart.
7. Imagine
so sometimes I wonder if it would be better if this film ended in tragedy. As mundane as I am, of course I will not feel better. Although that might better reflect the greatness of humanity, isn't it too sad; although that might get the damn Oscar, isn't it too cruel. Although the hope seen in despair is more than just an escape, we are still willing to see such an end. Because, instead of saying that we are facing death, it is better to say that we are facing life. On the way to life, hope is reality.
It's like the azure blue sea, originally where we were born.
