Nine out of ten of the major media, major social networks, and the movies discussed are "The Shawshank Redemption".

Have you seen it?

It's out without seeing it!

As Chen Yongren's latest movie, the aftermath of "The Martian" is still there, coupled with the record-breaking opening score and explosive word-of-mouth, this movie has once again set off a carnival of film critics!

A rookie film critic wrote an article entitled "The Shawshank Redemption" which is touching!: "The book I have always wanted to read, but I gave priority to the film version, as the first to start the road of film critics, perhaps because it has been sought after by many people recently, and has been at the top of the list for a long time."

When I first saw this name, I just knew that it was a book about prison, and I thought that Shawshank was the protagonist, who must have been framed and imprisoned like all the stories in the works, and then in prison there were some people with a clear conscience, or like a prison break, the protagonist had skills and went all the way!

But after watching the film, I realized that I was wrong, the reason why a classic became a classic is really not accidental, and the story is not as simple as I thought!

The story takes place in 1947, when banker Shawshank is accused of killing his wife and lover and sentenced to life imprisonment, and Shawshank will spend the rest of his life in prison.

The scene of Shawshank entering prison has always impressed me, and the camera switches the distant and close view of Qinshan Prison and can't help but give it life, and Shawshank's appearance in Qinshan Prison is like a guest who breaks in, he is more observing.

There are always people crying, without exception, we just wait to see who it is, and it's fun to gamble with it.

The old people in the prison will always have this way of welcoming the newcomers.

And Red, as a person who has been here for 20 years, is the "authority figure" of Qinshan Prison, as long as you can afford to pay, he has almost a way to get anything you want, and at the same time, he is very familiar with everyone here, when he sees the bookish Shawshank and thinks he must cry, as a result, Shawshank's silence makes him lose two packs of cigarettes, but at the same time makes him pay more attention to Shawshank.

Two people with similar souls will always come together naturally, the beginning of Shawshank and Li Ruide is that Shawshank walked towards him, and what Red said after chatting with Shawshank for the first time made me feel that they are really two lovely people:

No wonder some people think he stinks, he is muffled, his steps and conversation are simply outlierous, he is like walking in the park, carefree, as if he is wearing an invisibility cloak.

The sun shines on his shoulders, like a free man. In fact, for Shawshank, he never seems to have lost his freedom, because his heart has always been free.

For ordinary people, it's good to live an institutionalized life in that kind of environment, at least they won't be able to face the most ruthless prison guard captain in the prison like Shawshank, give solutions to the problem of paying taxes, and talk about dignity with him (only when a black hand drinks can he have dignity, this is my shallow opinion.) ）。 Nor will they write to the city once a week for the prison's library.

But Shawshank succeeded, which gradually made him a "legend", just like Wang Ke was surprised when he saw the police officer shake hands with Shawshank.

mentioning Wang Ke should be regarded as a turning point in this film, and the whole film began to go dark again. It is another profound meaning conveyed by the film, the impact of the "institutionalization" of prisons.

Why is it that the place that once made them want to flee is the place where they miss the most and feel the most secure? When they leave, they will feel frightened! Everyone thinks that it is best for Wang Ke to stay in prison until he dies of old age.

It's really embarrassing, what is freedom? They have wanted to make themselves free through parole again and again, but the day they are really free, their hearts have nowhere to put them. I really think of the sentence that my heart is my hometown.

The meaning of redemption could not be more obvious, what does Shawshank's redemption refer to? Does it mean those who have been caught and sentenced to life imprisonment, hoping that they will use the rest of their time to atone for what they have done? But it is clear that those so-called prison guards and prison wardens have crimes that they cannot make public, and the film mentions several times that "there are really no people who have committed crimes in prison", this is a clear comparison, the real criminals are not the people who are locked up inside.

Obviously someone can prove Shawshank's innocence, but the prison warden killed the insider Li Mi and told everyone for a grandiose reason.

These things also made Shawshank lose confidence in this prison and choose to pursue hope on his own.

Or it can be understood that because the inmates in Shawshank's prison have gained more, such as dignity and learning.

When Shawshank drove along the Esplanade, that freedom was something he didn't have in prison, and once again reminded me of him in and out of Qinshan Prison, different from him, that freedom was different, and the relaxation of body and mind was the real freedom.

Some birds should not be kept in cages because their feathers are so rich, and when they fly away, you will sincerely congratulate them on their freedom.

This sentence was said by Red after receiving a letter from Shawshank, when Shawshank became a legend in the mouth of his cellmates, and voice-over has always been my favorite way, and the meaning expressed every time it makes people feel a lot more.

After watching this film, I really feel that I have gained too much, and the story has given us a happy ending, but it has moved me all the time!"

Professional film critic Li Mo published a film review entitled 'A Must-See Movie in a Life', writing: "A must-see movie that has just been released, the movie "The Shawshank Redemption".

This movie tells the story of a young banker named Shawshank who was wrongfully accused of the immaturity of the law at the time and ended up in prison.

The film now has a whopping 9.9 rating on Time.com, and the plot is simple and not exaggerated, telling the whole story in a slow tone.

Let the audience feel a lot of truths in the simple and not exaggerated plot, this movie can be said to be a must-see movie in a lifetime, and I have to admit that Chen Yongren is like chocolate, and it feels different every time.

At the beginning of the movie, I simply used the technique of interpolation to explain the background of the story.

Our protagonist, Shawshank, gets drunk when he finds out that his wife is cheating, and ends up with a gun to find his wife. Then his wife died with the man with whom his wife was together.

Although, Shawshank said that he did not remember what happened, and stressed that he did not kill anyone. However, because of the immaturity of the legal system at that time and various unfavorable evidence, he was still sentenced. Thus, Shawshank's prison life began.

Then the screen turns, and another male number two of this movie appears, who is being questioned by several censors. Because his twenty years of imprisonment have been filled. Unfortunately, his answer did not satisfy the judge, and his request to be released from prison was denied.

However, this man is very powerful, he can do business inside the prison and get things that others can only get outside.

Then, Shawshank and the second male Red, met. Red felt that Shawshank would definitely not get through it, but he didn't expect Shawshank to get through it, although Shawshank was very uncomfortable when he first went to prison.

Then, something unfortunate happened, although Li Ruide gradually became familiar with Shawshank, Shawshank was still bullied.

Just when I thought Shawshank would not be able to hold out, Shawshank began to grow and learn to resist. This includes negotiating terms with vicious prison guards.

Later, Shawshank began to plan to dig tunnels to get out.

Immediately afterward, he was beaten on the way back. However, he used the prison guard he had helped and asked the prison guard to help him get revenge.

Later, Shawshank was discharged from the hospital, and his friends, in order to welcome him, helped him find the stone he wanted. Because Shawshank wanted to carve his own chess pieces.

Then, the prison guard and the warden came to check the room, and the warden asked Shawshank some questions about the Bible, left a meaningful sentence and left.

It turned out that the warden wanted to rely on Shawshank's ability to be sensitive to numbers and wanted Shawshank to help him manage his finances. Later, everyone approached him for money.

However, a bad thing happened to Shawshank's side.

The man who worked with Shawshank was about to be released because he had been doing well in prison, but the man thought he had spent too much time in prison and that he could no longer adjust to life outside.

Later, the man committed suicide. Then, it was as if it had cast a shadow on the people in the prison, and the people in the prison were all very heavy.

However, Shawshank did not give up hope from then on. He sneaked into the playback room and played a beautiful song for all the people in the prison. Then, Shawshank was punished by the warden.

Then, Shawshank's friend ushered in his inquiry again. As a result, it still failed. Later, Shawshank's letter to the city government worked.

The city government would pay the prison to build a library, and the prison began to build a library that belonged to the prison, and the prison people were able to read from now on.

Although, all this is the credit of Shawshank, but all this has become a means for the prison warden to publicize and a way for the prison director to gain fame.

Eventually, the warden became more and more inseparable from Shawshank. He wanted Shawshank to stay in prison forever.

In addition, the appearance of one person turned Shawshank's prison life around. This man is very young and a little rebellious, as if giving Shawshank a glimpse of himself when he was younger.

So, Shawshank began to take care of the young man and teach him how to survive in prison.

Then, in retribution and gratitude, the man gradually recalled that on the night Shawshank's wife was shot, he heard a prisoner confide in the fact that Shawshank's wife was shot. It turned out that Shawshank did not kill his wife.

Later, the warden learned of the incident, and instead of helping Shawshank clear the case, he also used a scheme to send someone to kill the man.

Later, Shawshank learned of all this, and from then on began his path of resistance. He escaped from the tunnels he had spent years digging, and before leaving, he explained everything to his friend Red.

Eventually, Shawshank managed to escape and was not captured, and he came to the agreed place with Red.

After watching this movie, I think Shawshank is a very strong person.

He knows how to judge the situation and how to use his talents to survive, even if this place may not be a good match for him, even if this place is not suitable for him.

I think each of us should be like this, learn to be calm, learn to judge and choose our own path to take.

Because most of the time, we don't have a choice. If we don't have the ability to change what has happened, we have to adapt ourselves, just like Shawshank.

Also, I feel like Shawshank is a great guy as well. He helped the people in prison regain their hope for a better life and their yearning for a better life.

Shawshank's friend Red is one of them, although he is the only one guilty and guilty of mistakes in the entire prison.

In short, I think it is precisely because of Shawshank that the entire prison has hope and a future.

In short, I think Director Chen made this movie very well, and the script was also well written. Through the depiction of life in Qinshan Prison, this film reflects the discrimination against prisoners in society at that time.

As long as they are in prison, these prisoners are bad people in their eyes, and they cannot reform and become new people.

And the irony is that many people in Shawshank's prison are not guilty, but because of the immaturity of the legal system at that time and various reasons, these people were locked up as prisoners.

They are subjected to inhuman torture and unequal treatment in prison. Sadly, many prison inmates have become numb and deplorable because they have been in one place for a long time.

And the appearance of Shawshank changed everything in this prison. This also tells us that we must learn to change our perspective and learn to survive in the face of adversity, just like Shawshank.

In addition, the film suggests that our legal system should be more perfect. If a system or a system is not mature and perfect, and does not keep pace with the times, then many people will take advantage of the loopholes, and eventually it may cause chaos in the whole society..."

After watching this movie, a famous Hollywood director also analyzed the film from the aspects of the film's expression: "In terms of narrative perspective, the film uses the character of Red as a bystander.

That is, third-person narration, which is usually narrated from the standpoint of a bystander who has nothing to do with the story, and in most cases the narrator, like an omniscient and all-powerful God, is able to know all the causes and consequences of events.

But this film is not like this, Red is first and foremost a participant and promoter of the story.

And he didn't know about it in some ways, such as he didn't know in advance that Shawshank was going to escape from prison.

When Shawshank asked for a rope before escaping, he was still faintly worried about Shawshank, which made the whole movie more watchable and mysterious, making the viewer's mood develop with the development of the plot of the movie, and then become ups and downs.

In terms of narrative structure, the film is also very concise. Including the setting of some plots and the connection between them, it is precisely because of the concise ingredients that the movie becomes very compact and not procrastinating. Three more paroles, the first and second were unsuccessful. Until the third time, Red was actually relieved whether he could be paroled, but at this time he was successfully paroled.

However, by then, Red had become very old and had become accustomed to his life in prison. Once he goes out, he may get the same fate as Lao Wang - he commits suicide because he can't adapt to life outside.

However, it is precisely because of these plot foreshadowing that Shawshank's enlightenment to Red in the end has practical significance and value.

In terms of narrative performance, the film sublimates the theme of "freedom". The so-called freedom is hope, and there are many things in the movie that symbolize the oppression of freedom, and Shawshank has mentioned "hope" to Red more than once.

Although Shawshank was physically and psychologically imprisoned from this prison, he did not give up his pursuit and desire for freedom and hope.

This can be seen in the fact that Shawshank is trying to get beer and music for his friends.

Through these, the film has been telling us the true value and meaning of "hope" and "freedom".

Although Rhett didn't know what Shawshank was describing before he escaped from prison, at the end of the film, Shawshank showed his heart to Rhett with practical actions.

The "redemption" in the title of the film really wants to show the redemption of people's souls.

And the pursuit of freedom never stops, this is my perception of the whole film.

As long as people exist in society, they will inevitably encounter the influence of this environment. There are good and bad things, but that's not what we're going to struggle with. What should really be handled is that no matter what, you and I will not be our previous selves.

We are bound by all kinds of rules, but in fact, the meaning of survival is to find true freedom. Of course, it is also freedom under constrained conditions.

At no time should you give up on your previous commitments. Although there will be many obstacles, obstacles from yourself and others. But none of this is a reason for us to retreat.

Hope is a must, and you must have a good idea of your future. It's not just about proving something, it's just about telling myself, "All of this is inevitable, and all I have to do is get through this time in peace." "The difficulties and boredoms of the past will be my most beautiful business card.

Finally, I would like to express my admiration for director Chen Yongren, after watching this movie, I feel that he is the number one director in the world today..."

At the box office, "The Shawshank Redemption" was also popular, with 75 overseas markets receiving $260 million on the first day of release, and a total of $296 million worldwide.

Among them, the mainland received 86.86 million US dollars, island countries 18.4 million US dollars, North America 100 million US dollars, the United Kingdom 4.4 million US dollars, Taiwan 4.1 million US dollars, Xiangjiang 4 million US dollars, Indonesia 3.5 million US dollars, France 8.6 million US dollars, Russia 7.5 million US dollars, India 5.5 million US dollars, Thailand 2.3 million US dollars, stick country 12.2 million US dollars, Malaysia 2.2 million US dollars.

Due to the fact that many blockbusters have grabbed the market, the box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" is not as big as "The Martian", but it is still a film with a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, and the North American box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars, which also makes many Hollywood directors very unhappy.

On the first day of release, the Shawshank box office has recovered its costs and made a lot of money... Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Legend of China Entertainment: Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
