I originally wanted to watch "Dreams of the Blue Bridge".
He said to his son: "I plan to watch "Covered Bridge Dream" tonight, you can help me find out." ”
"I've seen that movie, it's not good, you watch "The Shawshank Redemption", this movie is good!"
I have seen the introduction to "Blue Bridge Dream", the content is the love of a middle-aged woman and a photographer, no wonder my son does not like to watch it.
"What is The Shawshank Redemption about?" I asked him.
"Hope!"
"Hope?" Then I'll have to take a look!
01
Andy was wrongfully imprisoned, because it is two lives, it is possible to be imprisoned for life, even if he is released when he is old, he may be separated from the outside world for a long time, and lose the courage to continue living, which is the result of his cellmate Lao Bu.
Life in prison is rigid, cruel, and he loses his personal freedom, but Andy did not succumb to fate from the beginning after he had to go to prison.
He managed to get a small hammer from his friend Red, pictorial newspapers (which did not attract the attention of others in the slightest, because the hammer is small enough to dig a passage with it, it would take at least 600 years), and every night he carried out his secret activities of digging passages with a small hammer one by one.
When he worked the next day, he threw the excavated soil out of his trousers, and under the cover of his hobby of carving stone crafts, he used this inconspicuous little hammer to dig non-stop for twenty years.
Finally, one day he dug through the thick walls of the prison, followed the only sewer and climbed out of the closely monitored prison, saw the light of day, gained freedom, and was reborn in life.

The protagonist Andy was a young and talented banker before he was imprisoned, and after being imprisoned, he persistently and secretly carried out his escape plan and dug tunnels one by one, which is a dark thread.
On the other hand, he was proactive and took the initiative to help others and even prison guards solve problems, so much so that he later became the warden's special secretary, which helped him escape (during this time, he used his position to create a non-existent person, saved a lot of money for his name, and became this person after his release).
He built libraries to enrich the spiritual lives of his fellow inmates, he taught them literacy, he helped them get diplomas, and he treated his friends with sincerity. When he first worked for the guards, his request was for his fellow inmates to drink three beers each.
For twenty years, he was wronged and wronged, but he could not change the status quo, even if he once learned from a young man who had just entered prison that someone inadvertently said that he was the one who killed Andy's wife and lover, and could testify in person, the young man was innocently killed by the warden.
The reality is so cruel that no one can save themselves, either go with the flow and be drowned by the filthy torrent, or save themselves. Andy chose the latter, he did not stop my path to salvation for a moment, and for twenty years, he really carved out a path for himself to the light from a dark place.
He hadn't forgotten to help his friend Red, who was released from prison after forty years in prison, when Red's mood was so similar to Old Cloth that he was just a rope away from hanging himself, but he remembered what Andaday had asked him.
When he found the box, it turned out to be the money and address that Andy had left him, and Red found Andy by the sea, and Andy was in the bright sun, by the azure sea, repairing his boat, just like the ideal life he portrayed many times in prison.
And the inmates who are still in prison, they always talk about Andy, which has become a legend for them, I believe that each of them will have a hope and a yearning for a new life in their hearts because of Andy's story.

After watching the movie, I said to my son, "It's not bad!"
The son said: "Of course, the number one film. A must-see for students, in fact, adults should also see! ”
Yes, I think most people like this film precisely because of the fighting spirit of the protagonist Andy in the film, who does not compromise with reality, and persistently strives for the ideal in his heart in the face of adversity.
Although the film uses prison as a carrier to limit Andy's struggle to this small and representative place, can we replace the prison with another scene? Aren't each of us trapped in a circle, do you go with the flow, or do you strive to move forward?
After watching this movie, I believe everyone will think.
Dear friends, if you also like nature, animals, plants, beautiful things; Like reading, writing, like beautiful scenery; Then follow me, there will be wonderful sharing every day!
Thank you for your attention, welcome to like, comment, favorite, forward, your encouragement is my greatest motivation!
