Let's look at Xiao shenke's salvation.

I remember the first time I saw Xiao shenke's salvation as if I was a freshman or sophomore. At that time, I felt like "the plot was wonderful, unexpected ". In addition, it seems that there is no other feeling.

On the website a few days ago, I saw this film ranking second among the 200 best movies in IMDb's century. It was only in Malone. the Godfather starring brandic gave rise to another idea.

Compared with a few years ago, during this process, my mind was constantly hit by the plot, and I was constantly thinking: when other prisoners are repeating: hate-> habits-> when relying on this old path, what support can Andy still stick to and will not eliminate the desire to pursue freedom?

Hope! That's right. Hope! I think what this film wants to convey to the audience is: Hope is the most powerful thing in the world. As long as you don't give up, no one can take it from you. As stated in Andy's letter to Ryd at the end of the film:

-Hope is always good, and good things will never pass.

It is because of hope that Andy will not be desperate in his nearly 20 years of jail; he will be able to use a small hammer to dig out the road to freedom; he will climb the trap of 500 yards. When Andy raised his arms in the rainstorm to enjoy freedom, I felt like I was the hero of the film. The past 19 years has become a memory and a feeling of relief. This verifies the classic line he and he talked about:

Get busy living -- or get busy dying (either busy for survival or busy waiting for death)

The rest of the plot is to let the boat go, meeting the psychological needs of the audience "good people have good news.

Why is the film named "the salvation of Xiao shenke"? Who is the salvation? Who is the redeemed? I think the salvation here includes the hero's own, and the salvation of others. For example, one piece: Andy played Figaro's wedding in the prison guard's office. This time, Andy's smile was a kind of smile with a sense of victory. What is he laughing at that moment? It may be a rare feeling of freedom, a feeling that has not been abandoned by society.

For example, if he builds a library in prison and implements cultural education-this is a salvation for others. At least he showed others the value of freedom and hope.

The reason why this film was successful was not only the eternal theme of mankind in the past century: freedom and hope, but also the actor's acting skills. I have to mention another major character in the film: St. Fred played by Morgan Freeman. As a person who has been in jail for 40 years, he hopes to be a luxury. As he said to Andy, hope is a very dangerous thing. He is used to suppressing or even forgetting his hopes, just like a sentence in the film: He has become an "institutional" product.

A good friend has a completely opposite understanding of hope. The director uses this comparison to bring out the spirit of the hero.

If this film teaches me something, It is hope, and the persistence derived from it.

Pay tribute to the classics by referencing the poster advertisement of this film-"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free ."

 

Appendix: highlights of the Dialogue posted online
Bytes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

The hope is to make you feel free. Strong self-help, holy one ferry.

Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.

Prison life is full of routine.

ANDY: These wallare 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 interesting. When you are in jail, you hate the walls around you. Slowly, you get used to living in it. In the end, you will find that you have to rely on it to survive. This is a mechanism.

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

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 into ss 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 found myself so excited that I could not sit or think. I think only those who are about to embark on a new journey to regain their freedom can feel this excitement that is about to unveil the mysteries of the future. I hope to cross the border and shake hands with my friends. I want the ocean to be 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 attributed to a simple choice: not busy or busy.

RED: There's not a day goes by I don't fell regret. not because I'm in here, or because you think I showould. 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 feel guilty about what I do all the time. This is not because I am here (in jail), or because I am not here to thank you (parole officer ). Looking back on the detours I 've taken, how much I want to say to the stupid young man who commits a serious crime, how I feel, and how I can solve the problem. However, I can't do it. The young man has been drowned in the Long River of years, leaving only one old man alone to face the past. New person? Lie! Don't waste any more time on me, kid. Cover your chapter. Honestly, I don't care.

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