The author's creative experience is very interesting. He loves writing and is also anxious about it. At the age of seven, he dropped out of school because of illness, and his mother lured him to start writing with a one-yuan manuscript fee. He is not interested in recognized positive energy books, but murder, ghosts and vampires are stimulated by him.
His first novel was written, printed and sold at school, and 36 books earned 9 yuan. The headmaster forced him to refund money to his classmates and asked him: Why did you waste your time and talent writing such rubbish?
If Jin Yong agrees with people's contempt for martial arts novels, we won't have a chance to watch flying snow shoot White Deer Plain. If Stephen King had listened to the teacher's advice, there would have been no later works.
It is inevitable that people will be mediocre if they follow suit. Truth is often in the hands of a few people, and time is the only criterion for testing truth. Everyone's mind is like a sieve, with different sizes. Stephen wrote the horror intercepted by his sieve to the extreme, and he won.
He has a hard life and great pressure. His wife firmly believed in his talent, and the witch Carrie was picked up from the trash can. Later, the paperback copyright alone earned $200,000, which is equivalent to the salary of teaching 3 1 year. He is diligent and never stops writing 1500 words a day. His talent made him invincible, and he monopolized seven of the 25 best-selling books in the United States in ten years. Really happy rivers and lakes, chic life. Later, every American family had at least two books, one was the Bible, and the other was mostly Stephen King.
Andy was only 30 years old when he first came to Shawshank prison. He was neat and elegant, and used to be the vice president of a bank. The charge of imprisonment is killing his wife and lover. He did buy a gun and followed them. He was calm and claimed that he was drunk that night, and the jury didn't believe him at all. Everything is irrefutable evidence, and it's hard to justify it.
? The first thing Andy did after he went to prison was to find a criminal who specializes in business and buy a small hammer.
? The second thing to deal with is the violent sexual assault between the same sex in prison. There are only two outcomes of this kind of thing, either admit it from the beginning or fight hard and be violated. Andy chose to resist. He broke the nose of one of them, but the result was the same.
? One morning in early June, Boggs, who was the first to invade him, was beaten with three broken ribs, bleeding eyes, pulling his back and dislocating his femur. He doesn't bother anyone anymore. Andy is a banker. He knows how to use the power of money.
He also bought millstones and posters of rita hayworth. Soon, he gave two pieces of ground seasonable as gifts to his friends who sold him things. This kind of beauty took time and energy to create, and his friends also respected his perseverance.
One day, while they were renovating the roof in the scorching sun, Andy suddenly interrupted the conversation of guard Harry. Began to teach him how to avoid taxes reasonably, so that his brother's legacy is intact. This is a wrestling match between wisdom and strength. Andy stepped in and pushed hard, and the weak held the strong wrist. He prepared three cans of beer for each prisoner on the roof.
? Beer is warm, provided by the strictest jailer in history, and the sun is warm. They drank beer for 20 minutes, just like working on their own roof, and enjoyed the taste of freedom for 20 minutes.
? From that day on, all the prisoners felt that Andy was different. He is convinced of his value. He is like a pearl in the sand with free air. From that day on, he was no longer harassed by gay prisoners, because those people were severely warned by the jailer.
There is a passage in the movie that is not in the novel. Andy looks as modest and gentle as jade. I don't seem to have done anything out of line. On one occasion, he took advantage of the fresh air to occupy the studio, risking being locked up, and played a song for all the prisoners. Music awakened people's yearning for freedom, and all was silent. Only music washes people's souls like a clear spring
? Andy was transferred to the library to replace an old prisoner named Brooke. From 1954 to 1960, he kept writing to the state legislature asking for funds to subsidize the prison library. The warden told him to stop his foolish behavior, but he replied: a drop of water wears a stone!
? 1960, his letters can be piled as high as a mountain, and the state legislature finally got the first appropriation. He continued to write letters. At 197 1 200, it becomes 1000 per year. Under his care, Shawshank Library has become the best prison library, where you can see almost all the books you want to read.
Andy set up two trust funds for guards who want to keep their children's college education fund. He also instructed some guards who wanted to try their hand in the stock market how to speculate in the stock market. By 1952, he had made all the prison guards' tax returns. And the biggest reward he gets is the most valuable thing-respect.
Andy has a trait, a kind of inner peace, and even a firm belief.
In the library, he helps prisoners pass correspondence exams and get education. Tommy, one of the prisoners, expressed admiration for his help. He was shocked when he learned about Andy's experience.
Four years ago, Tommy served time in another prison for theft. Ai Wu, a prisoner in the same cell, once boasted to him about how he robbed and killed Coach Quentin and his mistress at gunpoint. Later, the woman's husband took the blame.
Andy is always calm and excited when he learns about it. He went to the warden Norton.
Norton kept him in solitary confinement for 20 days because of the complaint. Andy has been asking to see the warden since he came out. In June of the following year, Norton met him and told him that Tommy had been transferred to another prison (in the movie, he was shot for escaping from prison), and Ai Wu was released on parole and disappeared from the crowd.
From then on, the real criminals are at large, and the wronged Andy will sit in prison forever. Norton himself extinguished Andy's hope of exonerating himself.
Why is this?
Norton passed the prison, and the black money kept flowing into his pocket, while Andy skillfully made the money legal, commonly known as money laundering. Can Norton let this god of wealth go? He won't let anyone who knows his secret leave alive. So he held out the palm of a child prodigy's hand and held Andy's life firmly in his own hands.
Besides, Norton doesn't like Andy's behavior. He said Andy was walking on the playground, just like attending a cocktail party. The feeling of freedom is like an invisible coat on Andy. He has never cultivated a mental state of being imprisoned, and his eyes have never been dull.
For the next four years, Andy was silent and introspective, with gray hair, fine lines on his face and no smile on his mouth. I finally got Norton's heart. Yes, this is what Norton wants, to use his mind and destroy his spirit.
In the baseball season of 1967, the Red Sox at the bottom are getting closer and closer to the championship. The whole prison was boiling, Andy's eyes began to glow again, and he put on the invisible clothes of freedom again.
One sunny day, Andy suddenly wanted to talk to his friend, the prisoner who sold him something. His name is Red. People are always eager for friendship, even in hell.
He said, "I must go to a place where there is sunshine all the year round." Chihuahua Tanijo, Mexico. A small town near the Pacific Ocean, where I want to run a small hotel. Build six huts on the beach, and the other six are near the road. I will find someone to take the guests fishing on the boat, and the person who catches the biggest marlin will get a trophy. I'll put his picture in the hall. This is not the kind of hotel suitable for the whole family, old and young, but this is the place for honeymoon ... "
He told Reed that there was a stone wall in buxton Town, and there was a stone under the stone wall, which was a volcanic glass. If Reid is free, he will definitely look for the philosopher's stone.
This is a heart-to-heart conversation between friends. Although it sounds unreliable and impossible to achieve, it is pleasant. It is warm to know that you are included in one's future plan, even if it can't be realized.
1975, Andy successfully escaped from prison.
1976, in Chihuataniho, Mexico, a man named Peter Stephen was running a small hotel.
That day, when the prison assembled, Andy disappeared and the cell was empty. He disappeared.
Norton's eyes fell on Linda lonsdale's poster when he toured in person. Linda reached into her back pocket and responded with a smile. She was wearing a halter vest and her skin was tanned.
Of course, hayworth's posters have already rotted away. Andy once said that if you take a step forward, you can step into the free world where those beautiful girls live. He really did it.
Norton tore down the poster angrily and a black hole appeared on the wall.
It took Andy 27 years to escape from prison. In prison, he earned courtesy for himself from his humble position. Make sure you can stay alone in your cell. He put the knocked concrete on the side of his trousers and moved it into the yard while it was still fresh. By laundering money for the warden, he successfully created the legal identity of a virtual person and took the warden's money away. He struggled to climb out of the long, dark sewer. Lightning and thunder, heavy rain washed away his body and soul. The taste of freedom is so wonderful that he did not hesitate to carefully plan and implement it steadily, and created miracles with amazing perseverance.
Old Brooke committed suicide shortly after he got out of prison. I stayed in prison for too long, got used to eating at 8 o'clock and was scolded. In the free air, he can't adapt and can't survive.
Prison is a system, even marriage. When this system controls our bodies for too long, even our souls will be branded. When we have a chance to regain our freedom, we find that our pursuit of freedom may be that Ye Gong is a good dragon, just talking.
The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to jump.
What is freedom?
When Andy was crushed on the cold concrete floor and tortured to death, his heart yearned for freedom.
When he was respected and treated in prison, he didn't forget that this was not the freedom he wanted.
He persevered and went through hardships. Climb out of the cesspit and be reborn. His resistance, gentleness, firmness and persistence deserve the freedom he wants.
Ask ourselves, our bodies are free and our hearts are free, but we don't know how many chains we are bound and what prison we are locked in.
Let's listen to music together ...
When the intoxicating melody rises to the sky like a lark, you will find a bird with gorgeous feathers and beautiful songs. Its yearning for freedom is like a flame, which no one can resist and control!
