Are there any good movies about being a man and life? What inspirational films are there, how to live and how to mature?

Rhett 1927 was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, and his parole failed several times. He has now become an "authority figure" in Shawshank prison. As long as you can afford it, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, wine and even marijuana. Whenever a new prisoner comes, everyone bets on who will cry on the first night. Rhett thinks Andy, who is fragile and bookish, will cry. As a result, Andy's silence made him lose two packs of cigarettes. But it also made Rhett sit up and take notice of him.

For a long time, Andy didn't contact anyone. When everyone was complaining, he took a leisurely walk in the yard, just like in the park. A month later, the first thing Andy asked Rhett to do for him was a small pickaxe. His explanation was that he wanted to carve some small things to kill time, and he said that he managed to escape the routine inspection in prison. Soon, Rhett played the chess carved by Andy. Later, Andy made a huge poster of rita hayworth and put it on the wall of his cell.

Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard the prison guard talking about paying taxes. Andy said he had a way to get prison officials to legally exempt this large amount of tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of asia pacific breweries for each of a dozen prisoners' friends. Drinking beer, Rhett said that he felt free for the first time in many years.

Because Andy is proficient in the knowledge of financial system, he quickly got rid of the heavy physical labor in prison and the harassment of other abnormal prisoners. Soon, the famous Andy began to deal with tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even asked him about his children's further education. At the same time, Andy has gradually become an important tool for Shawnk warden Walden to launder money. Because Andy kept writing letters to the governor, he finally applied for a small sum of money for the prison library. Prison life is very dull, so you always have to find something to do by yourself. Andy heard that Ali used to like playing harmonica, so he bought him one. After the dead of night, you can hear the melodious and slight harmonica sound echoing in the prison.

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

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed ... One day, he said to Rhett, "If you can get parole one day, you must go somewhere to realize a wish for me." That's where I first dated my wife. I dug a box under a big oak tree there. Then you know what it is. "That night, it was stormy and thunderous, and Andy, who was redeemed by his soul, successfully escaped from prison.

It turns out that Andy used that little pickaxe to dig holes every day for twenty years, and then covered the holes with posters. At the same time, because of his shrewd economic mind, the warden has been asking Andy to do black accounts and money laundering for him, and transfer the black money he earned and the cheap labor in the prison one by one. Andy put all the black money in the name of a man named Steven. In fact, this Steven is a fictional character of Andy. Andy made Steven all kinds of certificates, driver's license, ID card, and it was flawless. After Andy escaped from prison, he took part of the black money saved by the warden under Steven's pseudonym and lived a good life with this large sum of money. And denounced the truth of the warden's corruption and bribery. The warden saw a Bible that Andy left in the safe, and he put it in his little ledger. The title page reads: "Warden, you are right. Salvation is among them. " There is a pickaxe that is almost ground into a round head in the hollow part inside. At this time, the police were coming to the prison to arrest the warden, and finally the warden shot himself.

Rhett was released. He found a box of cash and a letter left by Andy under the oak tree. Finally, two old friends met again on the sunny beach in Ciudadaneo.

Behind the scenes production

Through the forced deprivation of freedom and the special background of high emphasis on discipline in prison, this film shows personal fear of "the passage of time and the transformation of the environment" The ending of the film has a "Count of Monte Cristo" style of revenge.

"three redemptions" run through the whole line

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 guide 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 eyes of fans, an outdated topic in film forums, a bestseller in video stores and the top three in IMDB websites.

Edit this wonderful tidbit

Remember when the new prisoners who had just arrived in prison got off the van, a young black man in the crowd laughed at them? This actor is the son of Morgan Freeman, the actor of the main character Black and Red in the film.

Remember Boggs, one of the three sisters, was beaten by the captain and sent to the ambulance? During the filming, the old ambulance broke down, and the ambulance action in the picture was actually pulled by the staff.

Remember the shot of Andy driving a red convertible on a mountain road in Mexico? It's a Pontiac GTO produced by 1969, and the film is still in 1966. The crew actually contacted a Mustang produced by 1965, but the owner changed his mind at the last minute.

Do you remember the first night Shawshank went to prison, when the old prisoners kept laughing at the noise in an attempt to scare the new prisoners? In the process of shooting, because there were not enough extras, the security guards at the shooting site were used to create a noisy atmosphere.

Do you remember the close-up of Andy sitting in the car with a bullet in his hand on the night of the murder? In fact, those hands belonged to director Frank Darabont, because this shot was not designed in the original script, but was made later.

Do you remember the first time Andy and Lao Heihong met on the playground (Hong was playing baseball with others)? Because there were countless problems in shooting, the director spent a whole day shooting the scene repeatedly, which made him feel perfect.

Do you remember Andy walking in the snow? Those snowflakes are actually potato chips.

Do you remember the prison guard who shouted "turn off the lights" at the beginning of the movie? He is also a prison guard in real life.

Do you remember the black prisoner sitting behind the same van when Tommy (Andy's student, the one who was shot) came to prison? In real life, that man is the warden of Ohio juvie.

Do you remember the stone Andy used to break the sewer? In fact, the original design was to let Andy use his small stone hammer. Later, it was found that the small stone 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.

Do you remember the sentence "Some birds are not meant to be caged"? The script originally designed the plot that the crow raised by librarian Brooks flew back to Shawshank and was discovered by Andy and Rhett after his death (metaphorically, Brooks was only suitable for being caged like this bird and could not survive outside), and also involved the scene that the prisoner held a funeral for the bird in the playground to mourn the old Brooks who committed suicide.

Do you remember the scene where Andy and Rhett meet and hug on the beach in the last scene? This does not exist in the script, because there is no such plot 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 loved this demo, 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" (also the title of this film).

The role of Tommy Williams (a young man who was sentenced to two years for stealing TV) was originally prepared for Brad Pitt. Gil bellows, who plays Tommy, once played a similar role in 1997' s popular TV series ally mcbeal (the Hong Kong version translated Ellie's fantasy world, and the Taiwanese version translated ally mcbeal, a popular TV series similar to Friends).

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 thought that the maggots were inhuman and asked them to use a natural death maggot, so he had to do it.

The photo posted on Morgan Freeman's parole document is actually Freeman's youngest son, Alfonso Freeman. Alfonso is also a walk-on in the film, shouting "new prisoners! New prisoner today! " ("fresh fish! Fresh fish today! We got them involved! " ) That one.

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 (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.

Walden Norton's music is "Strong Guarantee", which 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 hammer, the page opened was Exodus, which described in detail the process of Jews fleeing Egypt.

This film is dedicated to director Frank Darabont's agent and friend alan glynn. Green died of AIDS before the film was finished.

Director Frank Darabont watched The Boy every weekend during filming, and got inspiration from it, using voice-over as a transition.

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.

Although the cinema box office results are quite satisfactory, this film has been far ahead in the rental video rankings.

Edit this wonderful dialogue

Fear can imprison you, and hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, and a great man can save others.

Cowardice imprisons the soul, hoping to set you free. The strong help themselves, and the saints help others.

Prison life consists of daily affairs, and then more daily affairs.

Prison life is full of routine.

Rhett: These walls are a bit funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them. When enough time has passed, you will rely on them. That's institutionalized.

Red: These walls are interesting. When you first went to prison, you hated the high walls around you; Slowly, you get used to living in it; Eventually you will find that you have to rely on it to survive. This is called institutionalization.

I found that I was very excited. I can hardly sit still or have thoughts in my head. I think this is the excitement that only a free person can feel. A free person has started a long journey with an unknown ending. I hope I can cross the border successfully. I hope to meet my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific Ocean is as blue as I dreamed. I hope so.

I found myself too excited to sit or think quietly. I think only those who regain 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 shake hands with my friends across the border. I hope the water in the Pacific Ocean is as blue as in my dream. I hope so.

I think life comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

Life boils down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

Rhett: Not a day goes by that I don't regret it. Not because I'm here, nor because you think I should be here. I looked back at me at that time, a stupid young child who committed a terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to reason with him and tell him the truth. But I can't. The child has long gone, leaving only the old man. I have to accept this fact. Turn over a new leaf It's just a nonsense word. So go ahead and fill out your form, boy, and don't waste my time. Because honestly, I don't care.

Rhett: I've always felt guilty about what I did. Not because I'm here (in prison) or trying to please you (parole officer). Looking back on the detours I took, I want to say something to that stupid young man who committed a felony, tell him how I feel now, and tell him that there are other ways to solve the problem. However, I can't. Young people have long been submerged in the long river of years, leaving only an old man to face the past alone. Turn over a new leaf. It's just a lie! Don't waste my time, boy. Put your stamp on it. Honestly, I don't care.

Some birds can't be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright. ...

Some birds won't be caged because their feathers are so beautiful!

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. Good things never die.

Edit this shot

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 matches)

When Hadley was about to be arrested, someone read a Miranda clause (that is, "you have the right to remain silent and apply for defense"), which began with 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 chisel hammer is 7 dollars. In 1947, $7 is a lot of money.

The poster of Raquel Welch in Andy's cell came from "One Million Years" in BC 1966, and it was not released in the United States until February1,1967 (that is, a few months after Andy escaped from prison).

The poster is still stuck on the wall: in one scene, Andy held up the poster and made a hole, suggesting that Andy later climbed into the hole without tearing it off.

When Red, an old black man, went to buxton to look for an oak tree, when he got off the bus, the corn was still green, but after a few shots, it was ripe and could be cut. In this way, the director hinted more than once that Rhett had looked for it locally.

Edit the relevant film reviews in this paragraph.

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 dying? 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.

Ten English movies you must watch in your life.

2. Brave heart
