Shawshank's Best Comment on Calf Rescue

brief introduction

The young banker was convicted of murdering his wife and sent to Shawshank prison in the United States for life imprisonment. He looks weak on the outside, but he is strong on the inside. He decided to leave here from the day he went to prison.

In prison, he met Morgan Feynman who was sentenced to life imprisonment for manslaughter, and they soon became good friends. Shawshank prison was the darkest prison at that time, and the point warden used criminals as coolies to make a lot of benefits for himself. Prison guards indiscriminately punish prisoners and even beat them to death!

Faced with such an environment, he didn't give up on himself. He runs a prison library, plays wonderful music for prisoners, and uses his knowledge to help everyone manage their own finances. The warden soon discovered his specialty and asked him to help launder money and make false accounts.

In the dark life of prison, he never gave up the pursuit of freedom and a better life, and he wanted to redeem himself with his own practical actions! backstage

Tim Bowden's outstanding performance is rare, but fortunately, Frank Darabont chose him to play the leading role, and his appearance really suits the role. And the acting star Morgan Feynman showed his perfect acting skills in the film. His wonderful performance was impeccable, and people had to applaud the black movie star!

The Shawshank Redemption is definitely one of the best classic films in the 1990s, no matter from the screenwriter, director or every actor's performance! Highly recommended!

Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption

1994 at the Oscar ceremony, The Shawshank Redemption was the biggest competitor of Forrest Gump. If Forrest Gump is a dream, then redemption is a life. Life is simpler than dreams, but life is far more cruel than dreams. Moreover, the two films do have many similarities and are destined to meet in an Oscar year.

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. When a feather floats slowly, life is transformed into a beautiful waltz, because no matter what you get, chocolate is always delicious. Forrest Gump always shows us the best side of life, and will make us always satisfied with the beauty of life.

Busy living or busy going? The Shawshank Redemption turned life into a cruel choice. In our simple life, The Shawshank Redemption is something worth remembering again and again. Believe in yourself, don't give up hope, don't give up efforts, and wait patiently for the glory of your own life. This is The Shawshank Redemption.

Although I finally found the way to heaven, the process of searching was full of ups and downs.

They are all excellent films, at least those that will never be forgotten after watching them. Every time you watch them, you will feel different from the last one. In the face of two equally classic films, the Oscar judges chose Forrest Gump, which made its influence and audience acceptance far exceed that of his competitors. However, the gold buried in the soil will eventually shine. Over the years, The Shawshank Redemption began to catch up, attracting as much attention as Forrest Gump, and many people began to complain about him. And I can fully understand why Oscar chose Forrest Gump.

First: Compared with Tom Hanks, Tim Robbins is still a junior. With The Philadelphia Story, Hanks won an Oscar, and he is also a typical representative of a good man in Hollywood. He is carefree, has a harmonious family and is charitable. Whether he is nominated for the Oscar or not, he will be the most popular candidate. The latter is a rookie with little influence, but it is worth mentioning that he rarely acts now and is basically a director. This film is also the debut of director FrankDarabont, and Oscar rarely gives a general to the director who directed the barrel for the first time. Frank Darla Berndt later co-produced "Grimm" with Tom Hanks.

Second: Oscar tends to be mentally retarded and often pays insufficient attention to realistic themes. Skip the madhouse, Rain Man, etc. They are all movies of this type, and they all won the grand prize. Americans often say that it is easy to win an Oscar as long as it is related to fools. Hollywood often pays little attention to realistic themes, especially those films that expose the dark side of American society rarely win prizes, while Forrest Gump runs through many important events in contemporary America and makes fun of them in a humorous tone. Therefore, it is reasonable for Forrest Gump to win.

Although an Oscar statuette is very important, Oscar's tradition has always been to pay more attention to commercial films, ignore literary films, pay attention to big-name actors and directors, and ignore newcomers, so he can't fully explain the problem. In the eyes of many people, the lost The Shawshank Redemption is far more profound and memorable than Forrest Gump. Of course, this is a matter of different opinions, but it is undeniable that there are many similarities between the two films.

Hero: I often think that Tom Hanks and Tim Robbins are very similar in many places. They all belong to the kind of men who are silent and deep, born with a decent face, the kind of men who make women feel very reliable and safe, and make men feel that they are honest and trustworthy friends, so it is easy to win the goodwill and trust of the audience. The most important thing is that their acting skills are excellent, and they are all actors who are full of drama as long as they appear on the screen.

Exploring the main theme of life: These two films are all about life, humanity and society. Just a full of sunshine and hope, a gloomy depression. It is this sharp contrast that makes it more meaningful for us to put these two films together.

I don't know if anyone has seen these two movies together, but I believe one afternoon is enough. I watched Forrest Gump first, and then The Shawshank Redemption, and I felt like I fell from the sky to the ground. The different fates of two people give us a new understanding of life and the future. Watching Forrest Gump is like sunbathing on the grass. Everything is so beautiful. Sunshine makes us feel the joy of life and the yearning for a better future. In this warm sunshine, we seldom think of the darkness and cold after sunset.

The Shawshank Redemption made us realize that prison life is absolutely not fun, let alone any hope. At this time, I thought of the school motto of New Oriental, looking for hope in despair. This is precisely the most difficult thing. Few people can look for hope when they know there is no hope. We often hear the voices of the elderly! It's best not to fight against fate. What is fate? That kind of effort is a struggle against life? No one can tell. When Andy conquers fate, we can also say that this victory may be just a part of fate.

The Shawshank Redemption

The three most common versions are: The Shawshank Redemption, Stimulation 1995 and Flying High in the Dark of the Moon;

If you haven't seen this movie, what you should do is to find a disc and watch it at once. Instead of reading this film review. )

Redemption, redemption, not just Andy himself. In a sense, he not only saved himself, but also saved his cellmate. His rescue of prisoners is a kind of spiritual rescue, because he makes people around him understand the value of pursuing freedom and hope to some extent-red is one of them. Two people with the same hope for freedom but different attitudes form the main line of the whole movie. The three redemption methods are as follows:

For the first time, he helped prison guard Hadley evade taxes and won three bottles of beer for each prisoner. "We sat together drinking, the sun shone on our shoulders and felt like a free man. We may be tarring our house. We are the Lord of all things. " ... "You could say he did it to please the guards. Or make some friends with us prisoners. I think he just wants to get back to his normal feelings ... even if it's just for a little while. " At this moment, you saw T.Robbins' smile for the first time. After all, freedom is always the happiest and represents the realization of self-worth. Everyone has needs that make him feel important.

The second time was the highlight of the film. He showed "The Wedding of Figaro" in the prison guard's office. This clip seems calm as water, but in fact it is passionate and extremely lethal, which can make your eyes hot. "I don't know what these two Italian women are singing. The truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think that what they sing is so beautiful that it can't be expressed in words, which makes your heart ache. " ... "I tell you, those voices soared. Higher and farther than anyone in the gray area dares to dream. It's like some beautiful birds flapping their wings into our monotonous little cage and making the walls disappear ... at that moment-everyone in Shawshank prison felt free. " This time, Andy's smile is a smile with a sense of victory. He used his value in prison guards and the trust he gained from it to make his friends feel free again-even for a moment. "Some things in this world are not carved with gray stones. There is a small place in our hearts that they can never lock, and that place is called hope. "

The third time, he set up a library for the prison. In order to get the first batch of books, he wrote a letter every week for six years. Later, he increased to two letters a week, and in Andy's second decade in prison, the library was built. This is also an epoch-making victory with far-reaching influence. About this time, Tommy appeared and the plot took a turn.

After Tommy was killed, Andy came out of the hole, and the day before he was released from prison, the conversation with Rhett was very intriguing. Before fleeing from here, Andy reflected on his mistakes. He was responsible for his wife's death. I killed her, Rhett. ... "I didn't pull the trigger. But I lost her. So she died. Because of me, my way. " When it comes to future plans, after nearly 40 years of pain, Rhett seems depressed (if you compare 20 years, 30 years and 40 years, "I can't cope outside." Been here too long. I'm a member of the system now. Just like old Brooks hartland. " ... "Here, I am the one who can help you find it. All you need there is the yellow pages. I don't know where to start. " He is afraid of hope-because he once had hope. But he knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Many times, this is also the reason why we shrink back and have negative thoughts. Then Andy ended their conversation with an incisive and powerful sentence: "Get busy living or get busy dying." This sentence can even be regarded as the central idea of the whole play.

What I have to mention here is that the clips before and after the escape are well handled. Rhett is always worried that Andy will kill himself. In the face of despair, some people choose to die because it means a kind of liberation-the director also tends to lead the audience to think in the direction of "death" here, as if playing a joke with the audience-but for those who really want freedom, they will choose another road, a real road to freedom.

Later, Norton committed suicide, and the sentence "His trial is coming soon" is very ironic. The scene from Andy's successful escape to Rhett's release from prison is a complete test of M.Freeman's acting skills. M.Freeman's monologues and performances always give people a feeling of seeing through the world of mortals and perfection, which adds a lot of color to the surge. (Wong Kar-wai also used monologues in Chongqing Forest and Spring Scene. But Tony Leung Chiu Wai's performance seems a little immature. ) In prison: "Sometimes Andy's departure makes me sad. I have to remind myself that some birds can't be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright ... "Finally, he opened the box and decided to go to Zihuatanejo to find his friend andy. Say the last monologue in your heart: "I find that I am so excited that I can hardly sit still or have an idea in my mind." I think this is the excitement that only a free man can feel, the starting point of a long journey with an unknown ending ... "You can see his profound skills.

Obviously, this is not a simple and pure commercial film-although it does bring high commercial achievements-1995 national video rental and sales champion. But besides the box office, it also brought a lot of information. For example, "value" is an important message brought by movies. What is the life value of released prisoners? Brooks' escape from prison to suicide is also a tear-jerking episode. As Rhett said, he has institutionalized prison life for a long time. "Humans have lived here for fifty years. He only knows this place. Here, he is an important person, an educated person. Librarian. Outside, he is just an old prisoner with arthritis in both hands. Even if he applied, he couldn't get a library card. Do you understand what I'm saying? " ... "believe what you want. These walls are interesting. First you hate them, then you get used to them. After a long time, you will become dependent on them. That's "institutionalization."

Cherishing your freedom is also one of the themes of this film. Rhett said of himself, "I am the only guilty person in Shawshank prison." He said at the hearing for the last time that he deeply regretted what he had done. "Not a day goes by that I don't regret it, not because I'm here, nor because you think I should. I look back on myself ... the stupid kid who committed terrible crimes ... and hope I can reason with him. Tell him how things are. But I can't. That child is long gone, only this old man is left, and I have to put up with all this. "

Isn't life itself a prison? Each of us, which one is not the product of social institutionalization? The original poster of the film reads: "Fear can imprison you. I hope I can set you free. " This reminds me of a bestseller some time ago: Who Moved My Cheese: "Overcome your inner fears, change yourself and release yourself."

The Shawshank Redemption, filmed in 1994, is almost always a classic in the hearts of fans, an outdated topic in film forums, a bestseller in video stores and the top three in IMDB websites.

The myth of reality

-Watch The Shawshank Redemption.

Hope is the best wealth of mankind. Hope will always be with you as long as you don't give up. Andy said this to several friends seriously, in exchange for Rui's silence. It took him a long time to speak. Hope is a dangerous thing and the root of mental depression. Then, Ray didn't look up at Andy again. He left the table, and Andy watched him leave quietly. Shake the camera and look at the blue sky outside the iron window. ...

The Shawshank Redemption's famous "Stimulation 95" is the work of Frank Dalabont, which tells the story of how Andy redeems himself in a prison called Sandcastle and helps his friends find a spiritual home.

Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court because he was falsely accused of murdering his wife and her lover. The film cleverly flashbacks the court decision to a series of scenes on the night of the murder. Andy is drunk, and his blue eyes are full of hatred in the dark. His pistol was always in his hand, but he finally put it back ... Ironically, the camera clearly told us that Andy didn't kill anyone. However, the court sentenced a promising young banker to life imprisonment because of a series of strong hypothetical reasoning by the opposing lawyer, which undoubtedly sentenced him to death for his career and future.

When Andy stepped out of the prison car amid the provocative shouts of other prisoners, his eyes were unconscious, as if his soul had been evacuated. Walking in the crowd, Andy's lonely temperament quickly attracted the old prisoner Rui. He made a bet with other friends. He said the tall man was the first to cry tonight. However, Andy's silence made him lose two packs of cigarettes, but Rui began to have a special feeling for Andy, and he wanted to know him better. Since then, the film has changed from an objective perspective to Rui's subjective perspective, and the lens has become Rui's eyes and Rui's monologue. ...

Andy and Ray talked for the first time about letting Ray buy him a hand cone outside. Ray looked at him suspiciously. Andy explained that he just wanted to carve stones to kill time. So Andy got the handle cone, and no one doubted Andy's motivation, because in Rui's words, it would take 600 years to dig a hole with that. Then in "A Volunteer", Andy used his intelligence to win the treatment of drinking cold beer on the rooftop every morning 10. So, when the 10 sun shines on their tired bodies, they sit together and drink delicious beer, just as comfortable as repairing on their own rooftop. Andy just sat in the distance and looked at them with a little smile, which seemed to be his first smile after he came to the sandcastle. Then the warden used Andy's knowledge to launder money for him, so Andy was transferred to a relaxed library. Andy saw that the books were old and few, so he wrote two letters a week to ask for more books. With his unremitting efforts, members of congress finally sent the funds; Andy may never forget the feeling of choking when he saw the sandcastle. Photographer Roger Dickens didn't buy too many fancy lenses. He just skillfully used two lenses, one from the top of the prison door and the other from the bottom of the prison door. The two shots quickly overlap and separate. The whole picture of the deformed door and prison from the inside out indicates Andy's future fate. Similar to the domestic director Zhang Yimou's "Raise the Red Lantern", Song Lian stood at the door with a box. The composition of the whole picture is a big character, which seems to swallow all her popularity.

Most of the pictures in the film are quarter-sided, and the close-ups of characters appear in gray and black tones, emphasizing the repression of sandcastles and the fact that prison guards are not human. The movie title "Shen Xiaoke's Redemption" actually refers to what Andy did in the sandcastle. Even though Andy has been treated much better than other prisoners for money laundering, he still knows that those so-called gentlemen, prison guards and jailers who talk about the Bible, are just using him to do dark things. He can clearly see that it all started from the first day he came in and saw the little crow in the bag. Yes, the blue sky outside the sandcastle wall is almost transparent; Yes, Andy was alone, dreaming of the endless blue water in the Pacific Ocean, and his eyes reflected melancholy. Yes, the scene of several prisoners sitting on the rooftop basking in the sun and drinking beer; Yes, Bao Shi looked at the sadness of the prison window at the moment he released Jay who had been raised for a long time; However, in the early spring afternoon, the sun is shining, and I miss Jay's warm smile when he feeds pigeons in the park. Yes, The Wedding of Figaro floating over the sand castle; Yes, in the sunshine, the prisoners are sitting on the rooftop, enjoying the cool cold beer; Yes, in the heavy rain, Andy stretched out his hands to the sky with passion; Or, when we get to the seaside, Rui slowly walks towards him? Perhaps, everything is just for freedom, and people's desire for freedom is equal and will not be reduced because of prisoners. As Rui finally said to the prosecutor, I really want to talk about my past and the child who knows nothing ... endless vicissitudes are contained in such simple words, but they can directly touch people's hearts.

Andy's choice of life is to jump out, so that he will not be numb by the cruel system in the sandbag, become dependent on it and be eroded by it. He has been living a life of forbearance and isolation. Although his body was imprisoned, his yearning for freedom in his soul did not change with the passage of time. In this plain and painful choice, he proved the characteristics of human beings.

The most commendable thing is that Andy not only wants to save himself, but also tries his best to help them and awaken their sleeping souls when he sees that life around him is becoming more and more dependent on sandcastles and even becomes numb to regain his freedom. To this end, he wrote to the House of Representatives twice a week, requesting the expansion of the library. He ventured to broadcast the opera on the radio. Although few people can understand it, the wonderful singing is so wonderful that everyone's dreams are released. He attacked the cruel system of sandcastles again and again through some stones that seemed to throw eggs, destroying the idea that the warden's so-called fate was in his own hands.

He told us an eternal truth that freedom means breathing freely in the sun, so he spent 19 years digging a tunnel that ordinary people dug in almost 600 years. He crawled in a 500-foot cesspit, and there was a thin line between hell and heaven. So, under the yearning for the blue sky and sea, Andy finally regained his freedom and punished the guilty warden and others. He created a modern myth.

There is almost no mention of love in the film, and the most talked about is the friendship between people. Andy and Rui, two tacit friends, both hands trembled when Rui took the harmonica from Rui, and when Andy took the poster from Rui after ten years in prison, his eyes were as warm as the winter sunshine. They stared at each other silently. Even if Andy can escape by himself, he hasn't forgotten his friend's future. His letter under the oak tree finally brought Rui to his side and smiled in the blue sea without memory. ...

Content excerpt:

Hope of spring, The Shawshank Redemption.

I guess every state prison and federal prison in the United States has a number one person like me, and I can get anything for you. Whether it's high-end cigarettes or marijuana (if that's your preference), or getting a bottle of brandy to celebrate your son or daughter's graduation from high school, in short, almost anything ... I mean, as long as it's within a reasonable range, I'm responsive; But many situations are not necessarily reasonable.

I just turned 20 and came to Shawshank Prison. In this happy little family, I am one of the few people willing to admit what I have done. I committed murder. I took out a huge life insurance policy for my wife who is three years older than me, and then tampered with the brakes of a Chevrolet car that her father gave us as a wedding gift. Everything went as I planned, but I didn't expect that she stopped halfway to pick up her neighbor's wife and her little son. They were walking down the castle hill to the city together. As a result, the brakes failed, and the speed was getting faster and faster. It rushed through the trees on the side of the road and hit a civil war memorial statue.
