A long road to freedom, a deep cleansing of the soul, and an immortal inspirational classic, "Hope" follows God's will and sleeps peacefully in the "Bible" with the hollowed out inner pages, attached to Andy's tall body, Crawling down 500 yards of sewers, in the end, the only dirty road took Andy to the Brave New World. This desperate and heavy redemption journey comes from the notorious Shawshank Prison, from the original work of thriller master Stephen King, and from the work of philosophical director Darabont. "The Shawshank Redemption" brings lasting sincere friendship, indomitable soul forging and endless fire of destiny. Hope does not need enthusiasm, enthusiasm is just an inadvertent impulse in the soul. In prison, when the process of life can only be measured by time, any high enthusiasm can only helplessly raise its hands to disappointment and accept the arrangement of fate fatefully. Only people with a clear heart can see the absurdity of life. Otherwise, people can only be wronged and helpless in the face of injustice, angry and violent in the face of oppression, rotten in adversity, or even lonely and hopeless in ordinary circumstances. Cowardice imprison people's soul, hope can feel freedom. The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people.

"This is a must-see movie for men." Everyone said so. But simply distinguishing between genders will make this movie narrow. "Shawshank's Redemption" breaks through the limitations of men's movies, and the whole story is almost full of incredibly warm tone, and the greatest theme in the movie is "hope." When we have no choice but to encounter the kind of jail that imprisoned the freedom of the soul like Shawshank, are we the helpless old Brook, the discouraged Rhett, or the wise Andy? Use wisdom, trust hope, and face fear bravely to defeat it? Classic movies are classic because they are all doing the same thing-allowing you to appreciate the beauty of hope from different angles.

At that year’s Oscars awards ceremony, its brilliance was concealed by the thriving "Forrest Gump", and with the passage of time, the status of this movie in the hearts of more and more people has surpassed "Forrest Gump". Whenever the reality makes me feel so exhausted, I will regain my strength when I turn out this disc. There is no doubt that this film ranks among the top three must-see movies for men! Recalling that classic line: "Some people have such brilliant wings that even the darkest prison in the world can't keep him besieged for long!"
The Shawshank Redemption quotes

Red: [narrating] I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.
