I watched this film when I was a freshman, and I watched it again two years later, and I am going to write about my personal feelings. When I watched it for the first time, the biggest shock to me was the ending of the movie. I don't know how to describe the mood at that time. Although the ending was not so unexpected, it gave me some indescribable thoughts. But when I look at it again, I have a different idea, that is, hope and freedom.
The second time I watched it, I liked the whole process even more. Freedom and hope are really the most precious things in life. It is also a prison-type film, but it made me see the human touch and warmth in it. The biggest point of view is still the fear of the individual "people" about the transformation of the environment and the passage of time in that context. I remember this passage, "Everyone is his own God. If you give up on yourself, who else will save you, everyone is busy, some are busy living, some are busy dying. Busy You who are chasing fame and fortune, you who are busy with firewood, rice, oil and salt, stop and think for a second: Is your brain already institutionalized, where is your God, cowardice imprisons people's souls, I hope you can feel free The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people. Prison life is full of routines.” The most terrifying thing is the institutionalization that binds your mind, so from this perspective, freedom is the most precious wealth.
Andy has this sentence in the film: "Don't forget that there are ... places ... in the world that are not made up ofstone, there is something ... inside ... that they can not get to ... that ishope" Until now, this film is still me My favorite movie, it has brought me a lot, and it also has a special meaning for life. Spiritual freedom is the most beautiful and precious thing. This movie will have different feelings at every stage of life. I really appreciate this movie.

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.

  • Warden Samuel Norton: Do you enjoy working in the laundry?

    Andy Dufresne: No sir, not especially.
