In the process of watching the movie, another movie that I remembered repeatedly was "The Pianist 1900 on the Sea": Both of these stories were adapted from novels; both of these movies have nothing to do with the story itself. Translation of the Hong Kong version: Hong Kong gangster film "Excitement 1995", "Moon and Black High Flying", and "Sound and Light Fly with Me" which sounds like an inspirational film or a science fiction film; the beginning of these two paragraphs are from the protagonist's friend The memory begins; these two worlds have countless details that are far from our daily life but are authentic and believable; the two protagonists are called TIM, Tim Robbins and Tim Rose; these two protagonists are in a small The best years have been spent on the block stage. The difference is that in the two endings, Andy defeated Warden Norton as "a character who only appeared on paper" and drove to freedom, and 1900 ended up as a person who never existed, and buried his legendary lifetime.
I think the story of 1900 is a sad adult fairy tale, the daughter of the sea turned into a bubble, the happy prince was gloomy, Edward Scissorhands left heavy snow day by day, and our pianist who never touched the ground said, "Continuous The endless city has everything, except the end, there is no end, I need to see the end of the world." Then I chose to live and die with the Virginian cruise ship. In contrast, "The Shawshank's Redemption" is much more positive, and it is said that it has inspired many people who are almost perished to stick to their ideals. But if it is only positive, it is at best a domestically produced film with the main theme. In this world, how many She Xianglin had his eyes blind when he was released from prison, and how many Dou E could not wait for a month of snow. Encouragement and motivation alone cannot help any adult. What can comfort us is the "real" first, and then the "dream", just as if "The Pianist on the Sea" deletes all the vivid details like that green and failed love story and "Fuck him!", It will be much harder. From prison violence, homosexuality in prison, to old prisoners who have been locked in a cage for too long to fly out, they are all so authentic and credible. This movie about dreams and hopes is very maverick, not at all. Heroes exist. At the beginning, there was the straightforward fact of "I really want to say that Andy won the fight and retired so that the three sisters let him go, but the prison is not a fairy tale." In the end, Andy's escape was far from Monte Cristo. Earl-style incomparable scenery and delightful enmity, or domestic costume TV drama-style "prisoners turned into imperial servants" random photos. Time will never erase the wounds left by Shawshank and Azkaban. He will be a fugitive for the rest of his life, just like Sirius who failed to get his name to his death.
But in any case, Andy is indeed a miracle. We all know that "miracle" is also one of the important contents of the so-called "salvation" in Christianity. He knew he was innocent, so he believed in hope and realized it, and finally gave Rhett, who was almost unable to fly like old cloth, a big hope. "In Zihuatanejo, that warm place with no memories..." Yes, just like 1900 can't afford the vastness of the earth, dreams are sometimes very small. On the blue Caribbean sea, there is a brand new Life. This movie makes us believe that "hope is beautiful, perhaps the best on earth, and good things never pass away", just as believers believe that the Lord’s salvation will come, instead of being a sanctimonious label of "truth" "Oscar Wilde went to jail because of homosexuality", or "The truth about "Snow White" is father and daughter incest."
What I will never forget is the bright thunderstorm that night when Andy climbed out of the five-hundred-yard-long sewer pipe. It was as deafening as Wallace's last famous "FREEDOM——" in "Brave Heart". Yes, freedom. The most exciting passages before, such as Andy with a strange smile on his face, invite everyone to drink, such as Andy single-handedly built the best prison library in the state, such as Andy recklessly let the high-pitched female voice penetrate Layers of blockades covered by clouds resounding through the clouds are a sincere tribute to freedom. Even if you are behind bars, "as long as there is music here (in my heart), there is freedom"-this is also the undefeated reputation of "Ode to Joy" We all know that in German, the pronunciation of "joy" and "freedom" are very close.
And the last thing I want to say is that in order to avoid being affected by the overwhelming online film reviews, I even resisted using GOOLE or Baidu to find out the golden picture of "Andy with open arms in a thunderstorm" The idea of using movie posters as a tabletop is just a look at the introductions on a certain issue of "Watching Movies". In that issue of "Watching Movies," it was stated that the fairytale and incredibly bright ending of "Shawshank's Redemption" was added by the director at the insistence of his partners, because it was very popular during the screening, so it was not deleted in the end- This is probably the source of the commercial "happy people" smell I smell at the end of the play. Although it’s a crazy idea, if I were to write the ending, I would actually like Reid to finally walk under the oak tree and then wake up and find that everything is just a dream, or to put it another way, he thought he had been with him for twenty years. Di is just the shadow of "hope" in his heart. Zhuang Zhou has turned a butterfly into a dream. Everything has not yet begun, but everything has been very different.
"Get busy living... or get busy die." But no matter when and where, as long as the dream star flashes in the sky, the dawn of hope shines on life.
