The hole in the wall is a way, and so is the music of course. In a sense, music crosses all boundaries. In a sense, music has carved a gap that no one can see. Although you don't know and don't want to know the meaning of those Italian songs, you can feel him. The beauty of music cannot be described by pen and ink. He can take people to distant places. Like a bird flying out of a cage, it goes to nature? As the walls around them disappear, prisoners feel free? ... What the powerful people who knocked on the door couldn't stop was the uncontrollability of some souls. Music is an intimate system of symbols, it is said that it allows the mind to talk directly to the mind, even if you dance, even if you cry... No one really knows what that melody means to you.
From the very beginning of the film, music and montage effects are used to create a tense atmosphere. The seemingly relaxed and cheerful music reflects the tense psychological state of the characters, and the subsequent music further plays a role in rendering the atmosphere. . Of course, this is a very common use in musical narratives, and the tragic-sounding music when Andy was in prison seemed so heavy with the prison shots. Later in the film, we can find that many people in prison have been institutionalized. They don't know what to do except in prison. They have no longer adapted to the life outside. In prison, they are happy and that is their home. , the director is using this kind of music to sigh and lament for it.
Of course, this is not the most exciting part of the film. Although the music after Brooks was released from prison was very emotional, it made people feel sorry and sighed for the experience of old Brooks, but it was still not as good as the 67th score of the film. Andy, who started left and right, played Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" in the prison guard's office. Prison, a confined space, even when you are in middle school and the school radio station plays such a cheerful and passionate opera music. How do you feel? What's more, in such a special environment as a prison, someone said, "This clip seems calm as water, but in fact it is full of passion and lethality, and it can make your eyes warm the most." I absolutely agree with such a statement, look. Watching the reactions and expressions of the prisoners when Andy played this opera, you should know how such a piece of music can motivate the prisoners who have been institutionalized in a prison, and the prisoners who are basically institutionalized. What a blow. The "Marriage of Figaro" is not just an opera here, it's a hope, and when the warden keeps knocking on the door to turn off the gramophone, Andy turns his voice up until the guards break in. , forcibly turned off the gramophone. Throughout the whole film, we found that this is Andy's character. There is pressure from outside. The greater the pressure, the greater the hope of Andy. The prison guards forcibly turn off the gramophone, which reflects from the side that the role of the prison guards and the prison is to cut off. Your hope, if the old Brooks is the representative of the institutionalization of prisoners, then the prison is a cage of institutionalized people, we can exaggerate this to a city, or even a country, and its ruler is to rule them over the people The hope of the people will be destroyed and cut off, so that the people can be obedient and their rule will last longer. As RED said: "Hope? I tell you friends, hope is a dangerous thing, it drives people crazy, it's useless here."
