Why is "The Shawshank Redemption" ranked first in film history?

The success of a movie lies not only in the presence of beauties, special sound effects, and wealthy businessmen; it also means that no matter how many years you watch it again, you will have different feelings and understandings. What exactly is this movie trying to say? I think it's about the salvation of the soul.

Have an unwavering view of things. "Put your faith in God and leave your life to me." Warden Norton's words imprisoned the minds of most prisoners within this high wall. As Rhett said, "When you enter the cage and the door is locked, you realize that this is serious. In the blink of an eye, your life is ruined, leaving only endless regrets.

"Inside the prison People begin to wait for death. Andy, who first entered prison, was calm and composed, not as fragile as Red and the others imagined; he kept observing everything in Shawshank, "not dull, his pace and conversation were simply alien, he was as indifferent as walking in the park." "Carefree, as if wearing an invisibility cloak" is how Red describes him, and it can also be seen in comparison that Andy is different. This is the belief that he, who is innocent, does not belong here.

As the most important element of human survival, it not only refers to physical freedom, but also to spiritual freedom. Yet for most people in prison both are lost. While repairing the roof, Andy accidentally heard the warden complaining about paying taxes, and knew that this might be the key to changing the prison's status.

Used his trade as a big banker to get a cold beer for his friend. "Repairing the roof, sitting on the roof, with the sun shining on our shoulders, as if we are free people, as if we are repairing the roof of our own house, we are as comfortable as the creators." This is the first time a prisoner has been treated like this. Maybe Andy wanted to take a photo The warden is flattering, perhaps in an attempt to gain the friendship of his fellow inmates. At that moment, only Rhett knew that Andy wanted to be free.

There is a lot of inequality when you enter Shawshank. People in prison knew that Andy had the ability to escape various government taxes, and they all flocked to help. A prison officer wanted to set up an education fund for his children. Andy said: "Let's sit down and talk. The two of us can talk as equals. Gradually, more and more people asked for it, and Rhett was able to come over as an assistant and work in the library. Start working as if you were in your own office, with the same equality. Reid said: "Hope is a terrible thing and can drive people crazy. Hope is useless. You'd better accept your fate." "After two failed parole applications, Rhett no longer cared. He saw the institutionalized version of himself in Lao Boo and lost his yearning for the outside world. However, at this moment, Andy actively helped Tommy take the certificate and was full of hope. Everyone in prison has hope to pursue.

Persistence is also a valuable thing. During the first two years of his imprisonment, Andy was constantly sexually harassed by the three sisters. “It has never been like this in my life. "It's miserable," Red said. Andy insisted on writing letters every week over the years, and finally expanded the library so that more prisoners could enjoy a bit of freedom. Andy used a seven-foot hammer to drill through Red's 600-year-old house. Dream, who can not admire the persistence over the past 20 years?

Finally, “People are either busy living or busy dying. Anyway, choose one of the two. "It gave Rhett confusion, but also gave him hope. He passed through the high wall of sin, crawled through the dirty sewage, washed away the filth, and allowed Andy to be reborn on the other side. There are some things in the world that stone walls cannot contain, In people's hearts, things they have no control over you belong to you.

This is the real redemption! Every line in this movie is a classic, it can shock the soul, and it is worthy of being the first in film history
