"The days went by like this, and prison life was like a routine, but other than that, it was a routine."

The camera constantly switches between prison life, prison guards making rounds, labor camps, and aimless walks on the playground.

The background music at this time becomes the long and mournful voice of the violin, like a complaining woman whispering her grievances.

Andy had injuries on his face and body, and the three sisters didn't let him go. Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses, that's Andy's prison life, that's his routine. ”

On the screen, the three beasts smiled and surrounded Andy, just like the big bad wolf saw the little white sheep, or the kind of little white sheep who was stripped naked. Sometimes Andy would raise his arms and fight back, but more often than not, he was humiliated by the three sisters.

The audience felt panicked when they saw this, although the disgusting scene was not given directly, but everyone knew the disgusting scene of being stuffed into a chrysanthemum by a man.

Moreover, neither party is gay yet. One has a normal sexual orientation and goes to jail for it. The other three are purely beasts, and they can't find women, and they want to plug them as long as there are holes.

The audience watched chills off the screen, and Rhett, as his good friend in prison, can imagine how he felt in his heart.

Rhett narrates: "I believe the first two years were his worst, and I believe that if life continues like this, this place will be ruined sooner or later!" ”

Until one day.......

The warden summoned the inmates and announced: "The roof of the license plate factory needs to be repaired, I need 12 volunteers to work for a week...."

This event is an outdoor activity, that is, to work not far from the prison, and the weather is very good in May, many prisoners who are suffocated in the prison want to go out for a walk, and in the end, more than 100 inmates signed up.

Red played a little "trick" and bribed the prison guards to replace all 12 places with people from his own side.

It just so happened that Byron, the captain of the prison guard, was the overseer of this "event".

During one discussion, Byron revealed to the other prison guards that he had received a sum of money from relatives, but because of the government's taxes, he had to deduct a lot of money, so much that he was in pain.

The sound of discussion also reached the ears of several prisoners, and everyone whispered mocking at the usually violent captain.

Only Andy didn't smile, but showed a pensive expression. Then he put down his work, and without stopping the persuasion of his fellow inmates, he walked in front of Byron under the horrified eyes of the crowd.

You know, Byron can kill! And he's in a temper tantrum now, isn't it looking for death to provoke him at this time?

Sure enough, when Byron saw Andy provoking him, he grabbed him by the collar and wanted to push him off the roof and fall to his death!

A second before he fell, Andy told Byron that he could help him escape the tax by simply inviting his cellmate to a beer after he succeeded.

After some explanation, Byron suspiciously sent Andy back. He also knew that Andy was a banker before he was imprisoned, and he knew a lot, maybe he could indeed help himself evade taxes?

So......

The day before the completion of the project, the prisoners of the spring of '49, sitting in a row at ten o'clock in the morning, drank a cold beer. And he was also the most ruthless guest in the history of Shawshank Prison.

The sun shines on the shoulders of the prisoners, and everyone's smiles seem to shout to God that I am a free man, and we are as free as the Creator!

As for Andy, he was sitting on the side, looking at his beer-drinking cellmate with a strange smile on his face. Someone offered him beer, but he refused to say "I've quit drinking".

Some people may say that he is trying to curry favor with the prison guards, while others say that he is trying to curry favor with his fellow inmates. But in Red's eyes, Andy just wants to relive his freedom.

Freedom, find freedom in this closed world.

Even if it's only for a moment.

........

Once, Andy asked a fellow inmate what crime he had committed, and the cellmate said, "Not guilty, everyone in Shawshank is innocent!" ”

On this day, Red asked Andy, "What crime have you committed?" ”

Andy followed the tone of the cellmate and said, "Not guilty, just like everyone else." ”

He didn't know if others were joking, but he wasn't. The audience doesn't know if Andy actually killed someone, but they know that Andy really doesn't look like a murderer.

Afterward, Andy asks Red, "What crime did you commit?" ”

Red shrugged: "I'm probably the only guilty person in Shawshank Prison. ”

Seeing this, many viewers were also confused. In addition to the three beasts, Red, Andy, and a few of their fellow inmates all behave like ordinary people, they don't look like bad people, and they even have hopes and longings for life. It's just that they don't live in society, but in prison.

The people in the prison say they are not guilty, and God is preaching that people are born sinful.

Crime! What is it?

Is it a major mistake made by the criminal? Or is it an unattainable "rehabilitation"? Or the seven darkest deadly sins of the human heart?

........

Later, when Andy was carving a stone, he accidentally touched the wall and dug up a small piece of stone from the wall.

Looking at the stone, Andy was silent.

So he asked Rhett to buy a sexy poster of the actress, but before the poster arrived, Andy was blocked by the three sisters again.

This time, the three sisters tossed Andy half to death, because Andy refused to use his mouth to go to the little brother of Boggs, and threatened to use strong words, and they would bite off his life.

The end result was that Andy was sent to the hospital for a month and Baugers was locked up for a week.

A week later, Bauges came out of confinement. When he returned to his cage, he found that Byron, the captain of the prison guards, was already waiting there.

He was bribed by Andy to teach Boggs a lesson.

Then Boggs was beaten by Byron to be disabled for life and could no longer get out of bed. As for the other two sisters, they never came to Andy again.

.......

Later, during a surprise inspection, Warden Norton approached Andy, tried his pounds, and then transferred him to Brooke's side as a librarian.

In order to better play his talent for mastering numbers, Andy's superb financial management skills have been branded.

And then....

A prison guard approached Andy and asked him to help him file his taxes.

And then .....

The following year, Andy filed taxes for half of the guards at Shawshank Prison.

It's a comical scene, with an inmate sitting in a dilapidated room, and a line of uniformed prison guards standing in line outside, holding forms, waiting for Andy to file their taxes.

It has always been the prisoners who line up in front of the prison guards and then be lectured by the prison guards, but now it is completely reversed.

This hilarious but real scene surprised all the audience.

Awesome, my big banker!

This is the real application of what you have learned, and even in prison, you can make yourself shine.

The saying that gold shines is true.

It just varies from person to person.

After that, for another year, all the prison guards asked him for help, including the warden.

Another year later, the inter-prison baseball game began, and many prison guards played baseball together. This then led to all the prison guards coming to Andy with tax bills, and even in the next few years, many prisons simply changed the time of baseball games to coincide with the tax season, so that they could come to Shawshank Prison to find Andy to file their taxes.

Sometimes, during the busy tax season, Red would temporarily transfer out of the factory to help Andy as an assistant.

Every time this happens, Rhett's heart blossoms.

The audience also laughed, one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven!

Until one day, Brooke, the librarian, had an accident. He was granted parole from above, but in order not to leave the prison, he coerced a prisoner with a knife, hoping to use this crime to get the parole revoked.

Did the audience wonder when they saw this? You can go out and regain your freedom, why do you want to stay in every possible way?

For what?

It wasn't until Brooke was released from prison, faced with a new world, at a loss, overwhelmed, afraid, and finally hanged himself, that the audience suddenly understood why he wanted to stay in prison and not go out.

The audience heard Rhett mention one word: institutionalization!

What can Brooke, an old man who has been in prison for fifty years, do when he is released from prison? Can you adapt to life outside? Although he had studied before, fifty years was enough time to turn anyone into a frog at the bottom of a well!

It was fifty years, but now ten years is enough!

How can you know how much the outside world has changed when you sit in prison and watch the sky? As Brooke said in his last words, there were few cars that he couldn't see before he went to prison, and when he got out of prison, the streets were full of cars.

In a strange world, without any familiar people, without familiar things, it is enough to drive people crazy.

Brooke eventually committed suicide.

The audience was silent, and the word "institutionalization" kept coming back to their heads.

Like Red said, prison is a weird place, at first you hate it, then you get used to it, and later... You can't live without it.

Faced with Brooke's death, Red had a thousand words in his heart, and finally turned into a sigh: "It's better for him to die in prison." ”
