3、ank Redemption”. What is the real life, and how to avoid numb to die in the life? The film “Shawshank Redemption” is inspired us to think about this question, and with the vivid characters fate in the film it reveals something to us: with hope and unremitting efforts, break away from sin and create
4、new. This is the Shawshank redemption and also ours.Freedom is a seed buried in the heartIn the film, the hero Andy was mistaken for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In this impregnable siege prison, he was witnessing a lot of corruption. So he knew that he was difficult to recover his inn
5、ocent, the only way to live is jailbreak. Indeed, Andys mind always save a seed which named “freedom” and it has taken root in the deep of his heart. He started implement his plan secretly, and with the professional knowledge in finance he became the right-hand man of the guards, even became the pri
6、vate financial assistant of the warden, these treatment plans for Andy escaped with implementation possible. At the same time, Andys talent and personality made him win the sincere friendship from Red. He even selflessly helped many prisoners in prison to get the equivalent education, because he wan
7、ts lay a foundation for their free social life in the future. What Andy has done is a perfect interpretation of the word “salvation”. As classic lines said in the film: it takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another. Andy is the great man, no doubt on this point.Film has such
8、 three scenes: one is that in a bright spring morning, the prisoners after finished work, sitting in the roof idle and leisurely drinking cold beer which is from Andys wisdom, even his life, and enjoys the warm sunshine to rest. It seems on them own roof, enjoying the hard-won freedom. In another sc
9、ene, after Andy opened the music, the 3music of Mozart has been sound in prison. The beautiful high voice echoed over the whole prison, all people, including prisoners and prison guards toward the direction of the music sound at the moment, quiet listening and forget the bondage of the walls. The th
10、ird scene is that Andy built the best prison library in England, through his own unremitting efforts finally. In the library, prisoners can be as free as the outside people to get free air.Andy has done many effects for prisoners: to risk his live only to fight for them an opportunity of a free drin
11、k; he would rather has sinned against the warden and the most horrible prison guards just let them feel the music in the free feeling; more than ten years like one day, he wrote letters in order to obtain subsidize and use these built a decent library. In Andys view, he has done everything only for
12、one word, which is called “freedom”. People alive cant afford to lose freedom. We should try our best to fight for freedom even if in prison. Because in his view, people live is to fight for their own freedom. In Shawshank prison, there is no “freedom” at all, because the spread of the institutional
13、ized let people suffocating, in the film, Red described it this way: fist you hate them, then, you get used to it, enough time passesYou get so, you depended on them, that is institutionalized. In Shawshank prison, it limits the freedom in the physical aspect, but the institutionalized is from the s
14、oul to restrictions on freedom, and it also named “assimilation”. For the people who dont have a life in prison, also cant escape this fate of the institutionalization.Freedom is a buried seed in our heart, and we need to use our ideas to water it from time to time. In the film, in order to save tho
15、se prisoners, Andy fights for them to get the sunshine of freedom not only once time. But for us, who will save ourselves? I think only us.Hope is the blooming flowers in the dreamIn real life, there is no one can get own ideal freedom completely, but we have the courage to live as long as we have a
16、 hope. Film performance of the miserable life and dark life in the prison, and the depressive tonal is heavy. Under this condition, whether a 4prisoner has a hope in his live plays a very important role for his future. The film has three persons always been contrast: The first one is Old Brooks, a library administrator who lived in pri
