"The Shawshank Redemption" is undoubtedly a good film. It has no action, no stunts, and even no beauty, but it can still deeply move the audience, and its charm has not diminished after more than ten years. The film mainly tells the story of Andy, a young and promising banker who is suspected of killing his wife and his wife's lover. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in Shawshank Prison due to the lawyer's incompetence and judicial incompetence. Andy escaped from prison in the 19th year after persistently digging a hole with a six-inch-long pickaxe in an iron cage (usually it takes 600 years to dig a tunnel to the outside world).

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • [after Brooks held a knife to Heywood's throat]

    Andy Dufresne: I just don't understand what happened in there.

    Heywood: Old man's crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse, is what.

    Red: Oh Heywood, that's enough out of you!

    Ernie: I heard he had you shittin' in your pants!

    Heywood: Fuck you!

    Red: Would you knock it off? Brooks ain't no bug. He's just... just institutionalized.

    Heywood: Institutionalized, my ass.

    Red: The man's been in here fifty years, Heywood. Fifty years! This is all he knows. In here, he's an important man. He's an educated man. Outside, he's nothin'! Just a used up con with arthritis in both hands.

  • Red: [narrating, referring to the warden committing suicide] I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
