He was a banker with a promising future, but he was sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly shooting his wife and her lover to death. He was not depressed because of this, and was always full of hope for freedom. After a long and boring 19 years of prison life, on a stormy night, he finally completed his self-salvation and successfully escaped from prison. Finally, I lived freely on a small island in the Pacific Ocean that I had always dreamed of. He is the male protagonist Andy in the 1994 film "Shawshank Redemption" directed by Frank Daconbondt.
The film uses Red's voiceover to describe the development of the plot, and the story is told as a bystander, making the characters more believable. The plot of the movie progresses layer by layer and is exciting. People see a character who is determined, not afraid of power, and fighting for freedom all the time.
Andy is not as weak as Rhett imagined. On the first day in prison, he did not go crazy. And slowly and hard to adapt to prison life.
He is not afraid of rape and never flinches when faced with the provocation of the "three sisters".
He wants to be free every moment.
In order to exchange beer for the inmates, he persuaded him regardless of the danger of being pushed out of the house by the warden and exchanged beer for the inmates. "We sat and drank, with the sun shining on our shoulders. We felt free again, just like repairing the roof of our own house. We were as comfortable as the Creator." "I think he was reliving freedom by doing this. Even if it’s only for a brief moment” - Rhett
Andy accidentally picked up a record of "The Marriage of Figaro", but faced the threats from the warden and the warden, he remained unmoved. , instead turn the volume of the record player to the highest level. "I really don't understand. What are these two Italian women singing? In fact, I don't want to know. I can only understand it at this moment, but I can't explain it in words. Their singing has a beauty that cannot be expressed in words, and it is so beautiful that it is heartbreaking. The song went straight up to the clouds and drifted into the distance, beyond the gray dreams of the prisoners. It was like a beautiful bird flying into our cell and disintegrating the cold wall. For a brief moment, the prisoners of Shawshank Prison seemed to have regained their freedom. Free." - Rhett. For this reason, he was detained alone for two weeks and did not regret it, because his mind was free and he had music to accompany him.
In order to build a library, Andy kept his word and began to write two letters a week. In 1959, the state Senate finally understood that two hundred dollars was far from enough to send Andy away, and the Senate Appropriations Committee resolved every year Pay five to six hundred dollars so that Andy can close the book." "In the year of President Kennedy's assassination, Andy transformed this smelly storage room into the best prison library in New England." - Rhett p>
The opposite characters in the film are Boo and Red. Lao Bu has been in prison for fifty years and has been severely institutionalized. After being paroled successfully, he kidnapped fellow inmates in order to avoid being released from prison. After going out, he was seriously unaccustomed to the life outside. Finally, he left a line on the roof "Lao Bu is here after a visit" and hanged himself with despair for life. "He has been in this prison for fifty years. He is a frog in a well. He is of some use here. After all, he has studied. But after he got out, he is useless. He is a lifeless old man with arthritis in his hands. Maybe he has nothing to do with the library. Borrowing books will be rejected." - Rhett. Similarly, Red was also institutionalized. After being paroled, he worked in a supermarket and had to ask for instructions every time he went to the toilet. "The reality is hard to face. I can't live outside here at all. I always think about how I can violate the parole regulations. In that case, I will be sent back again. The scary thing is living in fear." If not Andy's redemption for him makes him become another old Boo.
Until the end of the film, Sweden’s magnetic voice-over lets people know how Andy successfully escaped from prison. That little hammer was not only used to polish stone, he used it to chip away at the prison wall that blocked freedom bit by bit; the constantly changing posters of beautiful women on the wall were not just a lonely pastime, That was just to cover up the wall that was cut out behind it.
At the end of the film, Red found Andy's letter to him under the oak tree. After running all the way, he finally met Andy on the blue seaside.
Everyone is his own God. If you give up on yourself, who else will save you?
This is the truth that "Shawshank Redemption" tells you and I will never change.
