As most viewers expected, after Zhou Yanfa learned the truth, he immediately told the prison warden about it, hoping that he could clear his name.

The prison warden happily agreed to Zhou Runfa, Zhou Runfa on the screen looked hopeful, but the audience in the screening room always felt that something was wrong, because in the previous plot, there were many details that reflected that the prison warden was an insatiable person, and Zhou Runfa helped him make a lot of money, but could the money really satisfy him?

Sure enough, the accident that everyone guessed really happened.

Zhou Yunfa waited with infinite anticipation for good news from the prison warden, but what he waited for was the news that the thief who actually committed the crime was shot for trying to escape from prison.

But when the bad news came, Zhou Yunfa on the screen was very calm, but from his eyes, the audience could feel that deep despair.

It wasn't until this moment that the audience really understood the intention of the previous plot foreshadowing, Lin Lingdong's style has not changed, but in a different way.

In the past, his movies used dark plots to directly convey this emotion to the audience, but in "The Shawshank Redemption", his technique is even more clever, first giving people a little hope, hanging everyone's appetite, and then when this hope is the greatest, it suddenly bursts like a soap bubble, and uses this emotional gap to make the audience feel the depression that the male protagonist in the film endures.

The screening hall was quiet, and all the audience was infected by this suppressed emotion, and they only felt breathless.

Zhou Runfa knew that the thief was designed to be killed by the prison warden, in order to prevent himself from being released from prison on parole, because he was worried that Zhou Runfa would expose his gray income after he was released from prison. On the other hand, he wanted to keep Zhou Yunfa in prison and continue to help him make money.

After being locked up in a small dark room for a month. Zhou Yunfa seemed to have compromised. He continued to help the warden invest and make money, but never mentioned his release from prison again.

The audience believes that Zhou Runfa will not give up, but there is also a worry about whether Zhou Runfa will die at the hands of the prison warden after the most deplorable, according to the plot arrangement of Lin Lingdong's previous movies, this possibility is very high, just like "Dragon and Tiger" is the last, Zhou Runfa died.

With such worries. All the audience watched with their eyes wide open and glued to every frame that appeared on the screen, because everyone had realized that a lot of important information about the film was hidden in the plot details.

Zhou Yunfa said some very strange things in a meeting with Huang Qiusen, he asked Huang Qiusen to go to a place if he was released from prison one day, and there were some things he left for Huang Qiusen.

Later, when Zhou Runfa filled out the documents for the prison warden, the audience finally noticed something unusual, and he changed into the prison warden's leather shoes before leaving, this abnormal behavior gave the audience a very excited hint: Zhou Runfa is finally going to take action.

Sure enough, the next day, when the prison guards were rounding the room. Zhou Yunfa disappeared from the cell, and at the same time. The warden opens the safe and finds that his ledger has been replaced with a Bible.

The prison warden came to Zhou Runfa's cell in a rage, and the prison guards found a passage behind Xia Meng's movie poster, and the prison warden also found the tool that Zhou Yunfa used to dig this passage, a small pickaxe hidden by Zhou Yunfa in a book.

Seeing this, the audience subconsciously remembered that in the previous plot, every time Zhou Yanfa went out to ventilate, he habitually stomped his feet, and then some dust would fall from his trouser legs.

Many viewers noticed this detail, but they all subconsciously ignored the past, but they didn't expect that there was such a secret hidden in it.

The film once again uses the technique of cross-editing, showing how Zhou Yunfa dug a tunnel to reach the sewage pipe, and how he smashed open the sewage pipe, crawled all the way along the sewage pipe, and finally reached the small river outside.

The camera gives a close-up of this escape route, and also uses three measurements to describe the length of this sewage pipe, which is of course intended to express to the audience the difficulty of Zhou Yanfa's escape from prison.

The moment Zhou Yanfa climbed out of the sewage pipe and opened his arms in the rain in the river, all the audience felt that the feeling of depression in their hearts before disappeared, and some even gasped for breath, as if the people who escaped from the sewage pipe were themselves.

The explosion of depression at this moment made everyone feel extremely happy.

Zhou Yunfa escaped from prison, took the prison warden's ill-gotten money, and sent evidence of his corruption and bribery to the newspaper.

The film doesn't end here, Huang Qiusen was also released from prison on parole after that, and there was a small episode during the period, a prisoner who had been in prison for most of his life was released, because he couldn't adapt to life outside the prison, he finally chose to hang himself in his own home, and Huang Qiusen also encountered the same confusion after being released from prison, he thought about committing another crime in order to be imprisoned again, but thinking of the promise to Zhou Runfa, he finally came to the place where Zhou Runfa asked him to go, He found the gift that Zhou Yan had left him: a sum of money and a letter.

This letter is about "hope", which is also the theme of this movie, because in prison Huang Qiusen has always believed that "hope" is a terrible thing, and Zhou Yunfa has proved with his own personal deeds that in this world, what penetrates all high walls, hope is in the depths of everyone's heart, they can't reach it, and they can't touch it, that is hope.

In the letter, Zhou Yunfa asked Huang Qiusen to go to Thailand to find him, and Huang Qiusen finally overcame the psychological crisis after being released from prison, and finally found Zhou Yunfa with hope.

The two old friends finally looked at each other under the blue sky and blue sea and hugged each other.

The ending of the film really doesn't seem like Lin Lingdong's style, but at the end of the film, no one cares about this problem, everyone is still immersed in the profound meaning of this story, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time.

Lin Lingdong sat in the first row, his expression looked very nervous at the moment, although he had shown great confidence in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" in front of the media before, but when it was really time to be examined by the judges, he still sweated in his palms.

It was quiet in the cinema, and after about half a minute, suddenly someone started clapping.

One, two...... More people joined in the applause, the applause lasted for more than 5 minutes, and the most popular one evolved into a warm applause from the audience, during which people continued to come to congratulate Lin Lingdong, and a filmmaker from Japan bluntly said to Lin Lingdong through a translator that he would definitely vote for "The Shawshank Redemption" for the Golden Dragon Award this time.

More people began to walk out of the screening room, and as soon as they saw someone coming out, reporters waiting outside the cinema immediately surrounded them.

"The biggest feeling I have about this movie is that it is very exciting, not the kind of visual stimulation, but the stimulation from the spiritual level, the extreme shock from the surface of the sense to the soul, I dare to say that this is the most shocking movie I have ever seen, there is no one!" Xu Anhua, who was at the forefront, didn't wait for the reporter to ask, she couldn't wait to say her opinion on the film, her emotions didn't seem to have completely come out of the film, and her expression seemed very excited when she spoke.

The reporters at the forefront were all stunned, what kind of rhythm is this?

Mecca, who came out, saw the reporter pointing the camera at him, and quickly waved his hand: "Don't ask me how I feel about this movie, because everything I want to say has already been said by Director Xu." ”

Xu Anhua is abnormal alone, even Mecca, the reporters at the scene really don't know the situation.

Xu Anhua and Mecca had no intention of staying for an interview with reporters, and after saying these words, they left in a hurry, leaving behind a bunch of reporters who had not yet reacted.

Although they missed the opportunity to ask the two of them, as more and more people walked out of the cinema, the reporters did not worry about finding the interviewee, and soon the judges of the film festival were surrounded by reporters.

"I think it's hard to draw a conclusion about this movie, anyway, this movie is very unique to me, and it is different from Lin Lingdong's previous works. Then "The Shawshank Redemption" tells a work that is full of dark clouds and depressing, and finally the clouds open and make people see hope. ”

Guan Jinpeng focused on Lin Lingdong's style change in this movie, and then praised this movie as a model of a feature film, but when it came to Wu Yusen, "The Shawshank Redemption" changed a genre.

"I think this is a suspense movie, because from the beginning, the director began to secretly set up for the characters in the film, so you must be very attentive when watching this movie, a certain detail may be a foreshadowing that has a major role in promoting the plot later, and when I saw one of the foreshadowings revealed, I was stiff, and I didn't expect it to be such an arrangement...... So I seriously suggest that no matter who you want to really evaluate this movie, you should watch the film more than twice before making a conclusion, otherwise you will miss something. ”

One said it was a drama film, the other said it was a suspense film, and the reporters interviewed felt that their brains were a little insufficient, and the judges interviewed with one face, they still haven't even figured out what kind of genre film "The Shawshank Redemption" is.

"I think it's an inspirational film......"

As soon as Liang Jiahui, who was an actor judge, spoke, the reporters in front of him were all dumbfounded.

God, is this movie crazy, or are these judges crazy? (To be continued......)
