Since I came to university, I have often been confused. Sometimes I see the classmates around me living a carefree life, sleeping until they wake up naturally every day, attending classes and playing as they please, without any restrictions on themselves.
Although I am strict with myself and strive for my goals every day, I have no sense of accomplishment. When you can't hold on, just find a quiet place to close your eyes, and strengthen your dreams from Andy's story. This is the reason why I am addicted to this film. What it brings to me is spiritual shock and enlightenment.
Life is not flat. Injustice in society, differences in origins, and differences in environment cannot be used as excuses to give up hope and faith. The starting point is different, no matter how depressed we are, we must work hard to change it. Some birds are not destined to be locked in a cage, because every feather of theirs shines with the brilliance of freedom.

After watching The Shawshank Redemption
The Shawshank Redemption is a rare and excellent inspirational film. I have watched it many times. , still have a lot of feelings.
The plot of the film is very simple: Andy, a banker who was falsely accused of murdering his wife and her lover, was sentenced to life imprisonment and came to Shawshank Prison. His uniqueness attracted the attention of the black prisoner Red and eventually they formed a good friend.
Andy is always taciturn and always able to maintain everything he should keep as a normal person. By chance, he began to use his rich financial knowledge to help the jailers "legally" evade taxes, and even helped the warden launder money, in exchange for some slightly more lenient treatment for the prisoners and himself.
However, Andy finally learned the truth about his wife's murder from a new prisoner. When he appealed to the warden, he was brutally rejected.
Because at this time, the greedy warden has regarded Andy as a cash cow for himself to seek huge profits. He even did not hesitate to kill the informed prisoner and leave Andy in Shawshank forever to satisfy his desire for money. Endless greed.
After Andy became disillusioned with legal justice, Andy successfully passed through the secret passage he had dug for nineteen years and regained his freedom.
Yes, this is a film that advocates freedom. The important thing is that it shows people the process of obtaining freedom. It tells you that freedom cannot be that easy, and you may even have to compromise with power in exchange for your own survival. It tells you that freedom is such a difficult and even necessary journey through obscene things. with a dirty process.
The tall and strict Shawshank Prison is a symbol with rich meanings, as if it is a representative of the cold authority that we often encounter in reality.
When we are still ignorant about ourselves, we begin to constantly accept the training, forging and hints of this authority. We are constantly warned to completely clear the path in our hearts and try our best to Accept its teachings sincerely, thereby winning its rewards and obtaining everything we need as a human being: to be respected and to realize our simple dreams. He vividly expressed whether people under institutionalization should obey the system and lose themselves, or whether they should have hope and find freedom.
However, although it shines with the brilliance of freedom and humanity, it is so heroic. When Andy finally climbed out of the pipe and rolled into the creek, the camera gave him a panoramic view from an elevated angle. There were thunder and lightning and heavy rain. Andy relied on his incomparable perseverance and belief to gain freedom. No, in the camera, it is better to say that he himself has become a symbol of free spirit;
When Andy realized his dream at the beach The promises made to oneself before being released from prison---god, these images make us excited and at the same time make us feel that they are desirable but unattainable.
The Shawshank Redemption turns life into a cruel choice. The Shawshank Redemption is something worth recalling again and again in our simple lives. Believe in yourself, never give up hope, never give up hard work, and patiently wait for your own glory in life. This is the Shawshank redemption.
