No.1: The Shawshank Redemption (Douban score 9.7)

The film tells the story of a young banker, Andy, who is sentenced to life in prison on suspicion of killing his wife and her lover, and finally regains his freedom with his talent and perseverance. I believe that different people watching this film will probably be impressed by his talent and perseverance, because the protagonist of the film, with his solid professional knowledge - finance, in prison, not only won the safety of his life, a little freedom, but also won the material and spiritual benefits of his fellow prisoners. And finally with his own profession, he defeated the insidious warden and gained material freedom.

1) These walls are interesting. When you first go to jail, you hate the walls around you; slowly, you get used to living in them; eventually you find yourself having to live on it. This is called institutionalization.
2) Everyone is his own God. If you gave up on yourself, who else would save you? Everyone is busy, some are busy living, some are busy dying. You are busy chasing fame and profit, busy with chai rice oil and salt, stop and think for a second: Has your brain been institutionalized? Where is your God?

Unfortunately, the professor died of illness and never returned to the station, but Hachiko waited at the station on time every day for the next 9 years until he finally died.
The biggest attraction of this film is that it is based on a true story. Will relationships expire? Yes, but Hachiko's feelings for his master, Professor Parker, will not, and after the professor's death, Hachiko will continue to stay where the professor works and wait for him to leave work, even if others say to him, "Don't come, he won't appear again."

But how can you be sure that the reality you are experiencing now will not be a dream? The condition for waking up from a dream is probably to leave this world. Dreams, dreams, dreams and reality are intricate, and even if you burn your brain to watch a few more times, you will understand the movie, which is worth watching.
