"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."

    The survival system in Shawshank is similar to today’s social system. People who “painfully changed their former faults” are thrown into the darkness again and again.

People who are "systematized" can only survive when they are accustomed to submissively.
