"The first rule: Do not blaspheme, do not abuse God's name!" "Put your faith in God, and give me your life." These are the two sentences of the warden in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" And when Andy walked into the prison and heard the warden's instructions, like Red said: "When you enter the cage and the gates are locked, you realize it's real, in the blink of an eye, it's a lifetime. Ruined, leaving only endless regrets."

Andy, played by Tim Robbins, as the protagonist of the film, is the embodiment of freedom. In Red's description of Andy, he said: "His pace and speech are simply alien, he is like a walk in the park, Carefree, as if wearing an invisibility cloak." Indeed, in the movie, Robbins is like a forbearing gentleman, or an upper-class elite with his own small world, compared with Red, compared with Laobu, and three Compared with his sisters, compared with his friends, he always looks at everything about Shawshank with secret eyes. He doesn't seem to belong there. Despite the fact, because of his own charm, he soon has Shawshank Prison. Capabilities and talents that all prisoners lack.

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • Warden Samuel Norton: [as Mozart music is playing on the phonograph, the Warden comes to bang on the door] Open the door. Open it up! Dufresne, open this door! Turn that off!

    [Andy acts like he is going to do as he says]

    Warden Samuel Norton: I am warning you Dufresne, TURN THAT OFF!

    [Andy turns up the volume instead, so Hadley comes to the door]

    Captain Hadley: Dufresne...

    [taps on the door with the club]

    Captain Hadley: ... come on down.

    [Andy does nothing, so Hadley smashes the screen on the door, unlocks it, and comes in the room]

    Red: [narrating] Andy got two weeks in the hole for that little stunt.

    Captain Hadley: [turns off the phonograph] On your feet.

  • 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.
