institutionalized sorrow

There is a "hope and freedom" throughout this film. There is a saying that is very good "The prison is a place where you hate him at first, then you get used to him gradually, and you can't live without him in the end." Lao Bu is an obvious proof. The old man with arthritis in his hands who has been in prison for 50 years can enjoy a little higher treatment than others in prison because of a little culture, but when he goes out, there is nothing left , how can someone who is scolded for even holding a plastic bag stay well outside, so the ending of the old cloth is doomed, that scene is the worst place I cry in the whole film, not only because the old man has a feeling of sympathy for me The feeling is because of Lao Bu's "institutionalization". When Lao Bu got parole, which should have been a happy thing, he was unwilling to leave, and even wanted to hurt his inmates and wanted to stay in prison. At that time, in my mind, Suddenly, infinite sadness poured out, and even in my head, I cried out in despair, "How could it be like this?"

The film gives us the feeling of escaping from this prison, but when you actually go in, you will find that the prison limits not only your time and your freedom, but also your heart. When your heart is limited, when you Your heart is numb, then this prison is really ruining your life

And obviously, everyone who has been in prison for more than ten years has an institutionalized concept. They have been locked up for so long that they have forgotten what it feels like to be free, but Andy is here, no matter what. Whether it's beer when the roof is being repaired or playing music, it's Andy's yearning for freedom in prison, even if it's only for a second, even if he'll be severely punished after that, but at that moment, he's free, at least as much as he is. Feeling free, at least reminds him of what it feels like to be free

Andy never gave up his freedom. From the first day in prison, he never broke for 20 years, so he made the determination to dig a hole and escape from prison for 20 years.

In fact, he made the right choice, even a respectful smile from a female employee in the bank (I don't know what it's called) can make you feel free, compared to the picture of running in a convertible and repairing a boat by the sea and hugging Wade Prison, one heaven and one hell

    "There is hope in life", there is nothing wrong with it, when Lao Bo committed suicide I was thinking that he should go back to prison to spend the rest of his days, but when Andy finally got out, it was so beautiful, man, really You have to have hope to live happily and bravely. When I was disappointed, I remembered this film, and I remembered how hard he tried to get out, and I felt that I could break out of the siege and stand up again. It was really inspirational.

    Because in 1994, Taiwan introduced a relatively popular old film The Sting, which was mistranslated into "Stimulation". When the film was released in 1995, the film maker felt that its plot was similar to "Stimulation" (probably both belonged to the revenge of high IQ?), so it was translated into "Stimulation 1995". In 1998, there was another film Return To. Paradise was translated into "Excitement 1998" because of the prison plot!

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • Red: [Narrating] There must be a con like me in every prison in America. I'm the guy who can get if for you; cigarettes, a bag of reefer, if that's your thing, a bottle of brandy to celebrate your kid's high school graduation, damn near anything within reason. Yes sir, I'm a regular Sears and Roebuck.

  • Andy Dufresne: ...or come to think of it, I suppose I could set it up for you. That would save you some money. I'll write down the forms you need, you can pick them up, and I'll prepare them for your signature... nearly free of charge... I'd only ask three beers apiece for my co-workers, if that seems fair. I think a man working outdoors feels more like a man if he can have a bottle of suds. That's only my opinion.
