In my opinion, "The Shawshank Redemption" is exactly a Hollywood film through and through. I don't deny that the brilliance of human nature and the film's compact and ups and downs are enough to make a certain film. Some people who don't usually watch or watch movies very little think that this is a film that can go down in history, so these people started to get excited and wrote a lot of praise and even flattering film reviews
"The Shawshank Redemption" belongs to absolute and complete Hollywood There are three reasons for the movie.
First, the protagonist Andi, he is a standard individual hero,
which is in line with the definition of a hero in Hollywood or Americans. From his imprisonment to his wonderful escape, he completely belongs to the category of personal power, although Some people say that this is because Andy can't let too many people know about his escape, but Andy's other practices, including giving other prisoners a chance to drink, and expanding the library are completely a lone hero saving others. human mind.
Second, justice is often the moral standard of American films.
Andy is unfortunate because he was framed, and he is innocent. Compared with the dark warnings and indiscriminate prisoners in prison, he represents justice and represents Human nature represents kindness and uncompromising. Under the cloak of justice, everything else is wrong and ugly. This is also repeatedly emphasized in American films, so in the film, you will not think that prison guards, wardens These public officials are good people in real society. On the contrary, we will agree that a prisoner is a good person because he represents justice. This is a typical American Hollywood aesthetic, that is, justice represents everything.
The lone hero of the third justice must succeed
. At the end of the film, Andy successfully escaped through his own wisdom and wisdom, and lived a relatively prosperous life. Regardless of whether Andy's money was used reasonably or not, the most important thing is that he succeeded. The standard No matter how many setbacks and difficulties the protagonist suffers, he will eventually succeed and live a happy life.
Based on the above three points, I think "The Shawshank Redemption" is a very thorough Hollywood movie. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that many people are not used to watching Hollywood movies in private, and think that if a movie is in line with Hollywood's aesthetic taste, it is vulgar. Yes, so many people try their best to elevate this film to an inappropriate position to show how high their aesthetic taste is, which is not necessary. Movies, in the final analysis, are entertainment. If you insist on adding inappropriate factors to an ordinary thing, many things will become very complicated, and the same is true of movies.
