Ari was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in 1927, and was paroled several times without success. He has now become the "authority figure" in Shawnker's prison, and as long as you can pay, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, alcohol, even marijuana. Whenever a new prisoner arrived, everyone would bet on who would cry on the first night. Ari thought Andy, who was weak and bookish, would cry, but Andy's silence cost him four packs of cigarettes. But it also made Ari look at him differently.

For a long time, Andy did not have contact with anyone. While everyone complained, he took a leisurely walk in the yard, just like in the park. A month later, the first thing Andy asked Ari to help him was a small pickaxe. His explanation was that he wanted to carve some small things to kill time, and said that he would find a way to escape from prison. routine inspection. Soon, Ari started playing chess made by Andy. Afterwards, Andy made a huge poster of Rita Hayworth and posted it on the wall of the cell.

Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard the prison officer talking about tax collection. Andy said he had a way to make the prison officer legally exempt from this large amount of tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of Tiger beer for each of a dozen prisoner friends. Over a beer, Ari said he felt free again for the first time in years.

Because Andy was proficient in financial system knowledge, he quickly got rid of the heavy manual labor in prison and the harassment of other perverted prisoners. Soon, the famous Andy began to handle tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even their children came to him for advice on their education. At the same time, Andy has gradually become an important tool for money laundering by Warden Warden, Shawnk. Because Andy kept writing to the governor, he finally got a small amount of money for the prison to build a prison library. Prison life is very ordinary, and you always have to find something to do. Andy heard that Ari loved playing the harmonica, so he bought one for him. After the night is quiet, the melodious and gentle sound of the harmonica can be heard echoing in the prison.

The arrival of a young prisoner broke Andy's peaceful prison life: this prisoner had heard about Andy's case when he was serving time in another prison, and he knew who the real murderer was! But when Andy asked the warden to reopen the case, he was flatly rejected and was severely punished by two months of solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the prison did not hesitate to kill the insider!

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed... One day, he said to Ari: "If one day you can get parole, you must go somewhere to complete a mission for me. Wish. That was the place where I had my first date with my wife. You will know what it is when you dig out a box under a big oak tree there. "That night, it was stormy and thunderous. The soul-saving Andy successfully escapes from prison.

It turns out that for twenty years, Andy has been digging holes with that little pickaxe every day, and then covering the hole with posters. After Andy was released from prison, he took away some of the black money saved by the warden and exposed the truth about the warden's corruption and bribery. What the warden saw in the safe where he kept his small account book was a Bible left by Andy. In the hollowed out part was a pickaxe that was almost ground into a round head.

Arry was released, he found a box of cash under the oak tree, and the two old friends finally reunited on the sunny beach of Mexico.

After a frustrated night, banker Andy was brought to court as the murderer of his wife and lover. The wife's infidelity, the lawyer's treachery, the judge's misjudgment, the prison guard's brutality, and the warden's greed and despicability pushed the thirty-year-old Andy from the peak of his life to the hell of the world. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to the impregnable Shark Castle Prison.

After witnessing the corruption in prison, he knew that it would be difficult to recover his innocence, and the only way to survive was to escape from prison. So he began to secretly implement his plan. He met Ray, a criminal who specialized in black market transactions in prison, and obtained the Bible and some of the most inconspicuous items from Ray. At the same time, he persisted in writing letters to petition continuously for nearly ten years and built the best prison library in the United States for Shark Castle Prison. He also selflessly tutored and helped many prisoners obtain equivalent academic qualifications, so that they could continue studying in prison and lay the foundation for regaining their freedom and entering society in the future. Andy is a symbol of dignity in the hearts of all the inmates. His talent, intelligence and charisma win him the sincere friendship of Ray. His professional knowledge in finance made him a valuable helper to the prison guards, and even became the warden's personal financial assistant. Such treatment made Andy's escape plan possible.

When a young thief told Andy that he had met the real murderer of Andy's wife and lover in another prison, Andy could no longer restrain his feelings. The warden can help him clear his name and seek justice. Unexpectedly, the warden decided not to let Andy return to the world because Andy knew the inside story of his corruption and bribery, so he brutally killed the young thief and put Andy in prison again.

Unbearable, Andy finally escaped from prison on a night of thunder and lightning and regained his freedom. When the warden opened Andy's cell door the next day, he found that he had disappeared. The warden, who had a premonition of the end, committed suicide in fear of guilt after prosecutors received the warden's incriminating evidence sent by Andy.

In 1947, Andy, a young and promising vice president of a large bank, was sentenced to two life sentences for allegedly shooting his wife and the golf coach with whom she had an affair. Will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank Prison.

Reed, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in 1927, is likened to "Shawshank's mobile shop". He can get anything you want: cigarettes, candy, whiskey and even marijuana, as long as you Affordable. Whenever a new prisoner reports, Rhett will bet with everyone on who he thinks will cry on the first night, just like betting on horses. This time Rhett staked Andy, so he lost two packs of cigarettes, and the poor guy who cried bitterly and begged to get out was sent to the west by Captain Hedley's stick.

Andy, who has just been imprisoned, is constantly harassed by Boggs from the gay "sister gang". In addition to working in the laundry room every day, Andy fights with Boggs. Andy didn't talk to anyone for a long time. When he was out for a walk, he would walk around as leisurely as if he were walking in the garden.

A month later, Andy spoke in front of Rhett. Soon, Andy got the rock hammer he bought for 10 US dollars from Rhett. He told Rhett to use it to carve chess to kill time. Soon, the two became friends.

The spring of 1949 was a turning point in Andy's prison career. The prison wanted to allocate 10 volunteers to paint asphalt on the roof of the factory. Rhett, who was very resourceful, once again benefited his friends, including Andy. Hedley complained to his colleagues that his brother's inheritance tax was too high. The clever Andy finally convinced him before being pushed downstairs by Hedley that he could help him legally escape a large amount of tax on the condition that each of his partners 3 bottles of beer. As a result, a scene that had never been seen before in Shawshank appeared. Under the warm spring light, 10 prisoners were leaning on the roof of the building, drinking ice-cold Tiger beer in a relaxed manner, while Andy was smiling in the corner.

Soon, Andy got a huge poster of Rita Hayworth from Rhett and put it on the wall. In an entanglement with Boggs, Andy was beaten half to death. In return, the always cruel Hedley beat Boggs into a vegetative state.

Andy's proficiency in the financial and taxation system gradually allowed him to get rid of heavy manual labor. After the inspection of Warden Norton, Andy was sent to the prison library and began to provide financial guidance to all prison guards. From tax returns to applying for pension plans, everything is covered. And most importantly, he was Norton's money laundering tool.

At the same time, Andy wrote to the state assembly every week, requesting a grant for the construction of a prison library. Finally, the state Legislature couldn't stand the flurry of letters from Andy, and allocated $200 to the prison and some donated books and items. Andy accidentally discovered a record among the donated items, saying that the guards were unprepared. He used a loudspeaker to play the long-lost natural sound to all the inmates in Shawshank, and was fascinated by "The Marriage of Figaro" for a moment. In exchange, Andy spent two weeks in confinement.

Red, who has been in prison for 30 years, was once again rejected by the parole board. At this time, Andy had also stayed in Shawshank for a full 10 years. The huge poster of Monroe was given by Red. A 10th anniversary gift for him.

Andy is still writing letters to the state assembly, this time twice a week. In 1959, the state Congress promised to allocate $500 per year to the Shawshank Prison Library. Soon, the Shawshank Prison Library was transformed into the best prison library.

The arrival of a young prisoner, Tommy, broke Andy's peaceful prison life. He knew who was the real murderer of Andy's wife and lover. When Andy made a hopeful request to the warden to reopen the case, he was flatly rejected and punished with two months of confinement. Tommy, the only insider, was framed and killed by the warden.

Desperate Andy became depressed. One day he mentioned the small Mexican island of Jihattaneo to Red. He said that he was going to open a small hotel and buy some broken boats. He needed a The Omnipotent Man was his helper. He asked Rhett to go to Buxton Ranch after he was released from prison. That was the place where he proposed to his wife. There was an iron box buried under the big oak tree. Rhett would Learn the truth from within.

There was a thunderstorm that night, and Andy slowly crawled through the tunnel carved out with rock hammers for nearly 20 years behind the poster, running toward hope with the $370,000 that had been laundered by Warden Norton. …

The protagonist Andy Dufresne was originally a successful banker, but was sentenced to two life sentences for being framed for killing his wife and her lover. . This means that he will have to live in prison for the rest of his life. From the moment Andy enters Shawshank Prison, the film no longer observes the world from his perspective, but instead uses the calm and peaceful narration of another protagonist, Red, to advance the plot. This kind of "transformation" that lasts for decades has made the soul that originally longed for freedom "accustomed" to the confinement of the cage, and also made the once high-spirited and passionate young man be washed away by the years into a mature old man who is sleek and worldly and dare not go out of his way. During Andy's 19 years in prison, he helped the warden make false accounts and carefully planned an escape show.

One sentence comment:

Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

·The filming location was Mansfield State Penitentiary in Ohio, but because the prison was too dilapidated, the crew had to renovate it before filming. Interior scenes were shot on a sound stage because restoring the prison's interior would have been more expensive than building the same sets.

·The American Humane Association oversaw all filming involving Brooks' Crow in the film. There was a scene where Brooks was feeding maggots to his crows. The AHA immediately deemed the pair of maggots to be inhumane and asked them to use a maggot that died of natural causes instead, which they had no choice but to do.

The lyrics are: The Lord is my strong fortress, my unshakable guarantee; The Lord is my ever-present help, keeping me out of danger and panic; Satan, the enemy of all ages, still wants to make trouble. He is cunning and powerful, cruel and vicious, incomparable. The evil is really hard to guard against.

Wonderful dialogue:

Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.

Cowardice imprisons the soul, I hope it can make you feel free. The strong man saves himself, the saint saves others.

Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.

Prison life is full of routine after routine.

Andy:These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.

Andy: These walls are funny. When you first go to prison, you hate the high walls around you; slowly, you get used to living within them; eventually you find that you have to rely on them to survive. This is called institutionalization.

------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------

I find I'm so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

I find myself so excited that I can't Sit or think. I think only those who have regained their freedom and are about to embark on a new journey can feel the excitement of unveiling the mystery of the future. I hope to cross the border and shake hands with my friends. I hope the water in the Pacific Ocean is as blue as in my dreams. I hope.

I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

Life can be boiled down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

Red: There's not a day goes by I don't fell regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stump your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

Red: I don't give a shit to myself all the time. I feel deeply guilty for what I did, not because I am here (prison) or to please you (parole officers). Looking back on the detours I have taken, how much I want to say something to that stupid young man who committed a serious crime, tell him how I feel now, and tell him that there are other ways to solve the problem. But, I can't do it anymore. That young man has long been submerged in the long river of time, leaving only an old man facing the past alone. Become a new person? That’s just a lie! Boy, stop wasting my time and put your stamp on it. To be honest, I don’t care.

Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...

Some birds will not be caged, because their feathers are too beautiful!

Interlude shot:

·When the truck stopped and Red got out to find the tree, the corn was still green, but after a few shots, the corn became ripe. Waiting for harvest.

·Towards the end of the film, Red said that Andy climbed 500 yards, "almost half a mile", but in fact 500 yards was only 1/4 mile.

·Andy told Red that the chip hammer cost $7. In 1947, $7 was considered a lot of money.

·The poster of Raquel Welch in Andy’s cell is from the 1966 film One Million Years B.C., which was released until February 21, 1967 (that is, when Andy was released It was not released in the United States until several months after he was imprisoned).
