Tommy Williams (a young man who was sentenced to two years in prison for stealing TV) was originally prepared for Brad Pitt. Gil bellows, who plays Tommy in the film, and William Thomas play a similar role in 1997' s popular TV series ally mcbeal. The shooting location was Mansfield State Prison in Ohio, but the crew had to renovate it before shooting because the prison was too shabby. The indoor scene was shot in the studio, because repairing the interior of this prison is more expensive than setting the same set. The Humane Society of America supervised the filming of all crows involving Brooks in the film. In one scene, Brooks feeds maggots to his crows. Aha immediately felt inhuman to the maggots, and asked them to change to a maggot who died naturally, so they had to do it. When Morgan Freeman went to prison, the photo posted on the parole document was actually Freeman's youngest son, Alfonso Freeman. Alfonso also ran back to the film as a walk-on, calling for new prisoners! New prisoner today! (fresh fish! Fresh fish today! We got them involved! ) that. There is a picture of Einstein on the wall of Andy's cell. Tim Robbins, who plays Andy, once appeared in the fantasy film IQ about Einstein (1994). The movie rita hayworth, the American god of love, showed the prisoners was Gilda the Slut (Gilda 1946). In the scene of the trial, Andy said that he threw the gun into the Royal River. In Stephen King's another novel "Stand by and Watch May", the escaped children cross the same river. Stephen King said that this novel is the crystallization of his years of experience in watching prison movies. As shown in the film, the plot of this film has many similarities with Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. Warden Norton's tone is a firm guarantee. This is a church hymn written by Martin Luther, the pioneer of Christian reform/founder of Lutheran Church. The lyrics are: God is my strong fortress and my unshakable protection; The Lord is my help at any time, so that I can be out of danger and fear; Satan, the ancient enemy, still wants to make waves. He is cunning and powerful, cruel and vicious, which makes it impossible to prevent. When Walden Norton opened the Bible with Andy's chisel and hammer, the page he opened was Exodus, which described in detail the process of Jews fleeing Egypt. Frank Darabont, the director, watched "Thieves Have a Way" every weekend during filming, and got inspiration from it, using voice-over to make the transition. Although the cinema box office performance is quite satisfactory, this film has been far ahead in the rental video rankings. At the end of the film, a subtitle commemorating allen greene was translated into Chinese to commemorate allen greene. Director Frank Darabont's agent, allen greene, died of AIDS on the eve of the film's completion. When the new prisoners who had just arrived in prison got off the van, a young black man in the crowd laughed at them. The actor is Alfonso Freeman, the youngest son of Morgan Freeman, who plays the leading role in this film. Boggs, one of the three sisters, was beaten by the captain and sent to an ambulance. During the filming, the old ambulance with a broken tooth broke down, and the ambulance action in the picture was actually pulled by the staff. The scene where the fierce captain Hadley almost pushed Andy off the roof was actually that the actor was tied by a safety rope, which was very safe. On the first night in Shawshank prison, the old prisoners kept laughing at the noise in an attempt to scare the new prisoners. Because there are not enough extras, the security at the shooting scene is also used to create a noisy atmosphere. In the movie, the rows of cells in Shawshank prison are not real prison cells, but scenes built in warehouses imitating the old prison structure. Andy was sitting in his car the night of the murder with a close-up of a bullet in his hand. Actually, those hands belong to Frank Darabont, because the original script didn't design this shot, but they were made afterwards. The Italian version of the film is 15 minutes shorter than the American version, and the clip at the end that simply explained Andy's free life was deleted. Andy and Lao Heihong meet for the first time on the playground (Hongzheng is playing baseball with others). Because of numerous problems in shooting, this scene actually took a whole day to shoot repeatedly to make the director feel perfect. Andy is walking in the snow. Those snowflakes are actually potato chips. The long stone wall that Andy asked Rhett to find was built by the film crew because the director couldn't find the actual long stone wall. The prison guard who shouted "turn off the lights" at the beginning of the film is also a prison guard in real life. When Tommy (Andy's student, the one who was shot) came to the prison, the black prisoner sitting behind him in the same prison car was actually the warden of the Ohio juvenile detention center. The stone Andy used to break the sewer was originally designed for Andy to use his pebble hammer, but later it was found that the pebble hammer was not enough to break the sewer, so it was changed to stone. When Andy crawled in the sewer, the stains on his face and pipes were actually chocolate pulp. The original plot of the line "Some birds are not meant to be caged" is that the crow raised by librarian Brooks flew back to Shawshank and was discovered by Andy and Rhett after his death. It also involves a scene in which prisoners hold a funeral for the bird on the playground to mourn the old Brooks who committed suicide. In the last scene, Andy and Rhett meet and hug on the beach, which does not exist in the script, because this plot does not exist in Stephen King's original novel. This was added by the director against his will at the insistence of his partner, and he even wanted to cut it out after filming. Fortunately, the audience liked the demonstration, so the director made a concession and decided to keep the plot. Later audiences were lucky enough to watch this happy and tearful ending scene. The old man who won his belated freedom played by Morgan Freeman is called red, which is the first three letters of the English word "redemption". Since the film The Shawshank Redemption was released, it has always been a tug-of-war between the first and second place and the godfather in the selection of the top 250 movie fans in the history of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), and it is also the film with the most fans participating in the rating. At the 1995 Academy Awards, the film was nominated for best film, best actor, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, best editing, best score and best mixing. But ultimately failed to win any awards. Surprisingly, although the film did not get much praise when it was released in the cinema, it was a great success in the home theater market and rental market and has become a famous case so far. In Stephen King's novel Nazi Gautu (the second novel in The Shawshank Redemption), Du Shande, the hero, once said this to Todd: "I bought some shares of General Motors, some shares of at&T, and 150 shares of Revlon, which were selected by bankers for me. I still remember his name is Daphne, because it is a little close to my name. Obviously, his ability to kill his wife is far less than his vision of stock selection and school rules. This criminal impulse can only prove that everyone is just a literate donkey. " Andy's song is a letter duet in the third act of Mozart's opera The Wedding of Figaro, or Walking in the Breeze, which is a duet between the heroine Susanna and the Countess. The two ladies wrote a letter together, trapping the Count Playboy. Susanna: It's breezy. Countess: I wish I could blow a soft westerly wind. Susanna: West wind. Countess: It will be windy tonight. Susanna: Tonight. Countess: Under the pine trees in the forest. Susanna: Under the pine tree. Russell Adams, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, said that the film didn't catch on in a short time because the characters were mostly men, the content of the film was heavy, and the title of the film was religious, so even though it was nominated for seven Oscars, none of it won an award. Since then, Warner Pictures has been released in the form of video, which has been affirmed by film critics and audiences and has become the most rented film of 1995. This film continues to generate revenue for Warner Pictures today. According to Babu Gunton, who plays the warden in the film, he still has considerable follow-up income. A boring shot shows Andy driving a red convertible on a mountain road in Mexico. It's a Pontiac GTO made in 1969, and the car age in the film is 1966 (at that time, the film crew contacted a mustang made in 1965, but the owner changed his mind at the last minute). When Hadley was about to be arrested, someone read a Miranda clause (that is, you have the right to remain silent, apply for defense, etc.) ), it was at the beginning of 1966. The Miranda case will not be finalized until June 13 of that year (that is, the time to fully promote this sentence). Andy tells Rhett that the price of a stone chisel hammer is $7. In 1947, $7 was valuable (it was a professional tool at that time).
This place is not a goof shot, and this figure is also found in the original novel. Bruce (the librarian) gave Andy a chisel and went straight ahead, but Andy's cell was the last one.
This place is not an idle place. When Andy escapes, you can see that you can turn right behind Andy's cell. The poster of Raquel Welch in Andy's cell came from 1966' s "One Million BC" and lasted until1February 2, 967/0/day (that is, a few months after Andy escaped from prison). At the end of the film, Rhett said that Andy climbed 500 yards, "almost half a mile", 0.5 miles) =880 yards, 500 yards (yd)=0.2840909 miles, which is about 3/10; The length of a football field is 100 yards (the football field here refers to the field used for American football games). Andy did the accounts for the warden for the last time and put the ledger (actually his Bible) in the safe. This shot is inconsistent twice. In the second scene, Andy got stuck when he put it on, and the warden's finger holding the envelope was in a different position. Andy entered the escape tunnel and said that he had torn off the poster stuck on the wall, but the poster was still posted on the wall the next day. (Tim Robbins tries to turn around at the entrance and successfully seals it, but the story is too complicated to be filmed inside the entrance, so it is deleted. This is because Andy entered the tunnel from the bottom of the poster and the top was not torn off, so the poster should be on the wall, but because it didn't stick to the bottom, the warden later found out that Andy threw a stone at the poster when he escaped, which should not be broken. Not only will it not break, but it should bounce back into the warden's mouth and break his left upper canine tooth 1.2 cm. ) Andy should have worn the warden's black leather shoes when he escaped, but the shot before he came out of the tunnel and walked to the sewer was his own brown leather shoes, which should have been in the warden's shoe box. (Andy's shoes when he ran away should be different from those in the shoe box. Prisoners' shoes and underwear are the same, so they must have a change of clothes. And Andy can see that he took off his clothes to the innermost layer before he escaped, but when he came out of the sewer, Andy was still wearing prison clothes, so he must have put his suit and leather shoes in that plastic bag to avoid getting dirty in the sewer so as to escape after he came out. ) When the warden searched Andy's cell for the first time, the chess on the windowsill. It rained heavily the night Andy escaped from prison, but the next day the police tracked him by the river, and the camera showed that the soil on the shore was dry.
