9、 American film written and directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan freeman. And this film was adapted from the Stephen king novella Rita Hayworth and shawshank redemption. Many people hold on the view that this film was about the hope, the friendship and the faith, they think
10、that it is an allegory for maintaining one?s feeling of self-worth when placed in a hopeless situation, but there also have a very important argument, that is the redemption. Redemption is a significant part in the film; it can be the complementary of another part hope. Every one may watch this movi
11、e, the story may be simple, but the truth behind the words is profound. The majority of people are in favor of the opinion that Andy Dufresne is a brave and wise man, and he raises the hopes or spirits of the person in the prison. I just remember the very impressive words, “Fear can hold you prisone
12、r, and hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself; a great man can save another.” (King, 1983:118). This sentence says that if we conquered our fears and then we will get the final hope and free. Freedom in prison is a precious gift for those prisoners, and we should understand this freedo
13、m means their inner resources, the guilty man should save themselves and they should be repentant of things they did. So hope and redemption are much more important for characters in the shawshank prison, and also for every person. Auto-criticism is a foundation of hope. People cannot do without hop

This article is mainly talk about the hope and redemption in the film The shawshank redemption, and hope and salvation in our modern society.

16、不然。但是,它除了描述邪恶之外,更多的是人的希望,激发人积极向上的思想。无辜的银行家安迪入狱,开始时努力适应新环境,但并不和别人打交道,但是两个月后还是开始和别人打起了交道,并和瑞德等人成为好朋友,狱中生活虽然很艰苦,但是其中不乏温馨的场面,譬如,瑞德他们一群人在夕阳的余晖下享受安迪的啤酒,享受心灵上的自由. 虽然安迪在狱中也受了不少苦,但是他从未自暴自弃。让我很有感触的还有老布,他是监狱中看管图书馆的,也是一名罪犯,在狱中呆了大半辈子,最终获假释时却不想出去。瑞德分析他是制度化了,在狱中他是有地位的,但是出去后他什么都干不了,更何况双手又有关节炎。所以,出狱后不久,老布便自杀了,我想也许死于
17、他才是真正的一种自由。其实,电影着重向人们传递一种生活的态度,一种永远心存希望的人生态度。可以说,被判无期徒刑的安迪甚至于鲨堡狱中所有的有罪的无罪的罪犯,他们的生活几乎是没有希望了,但是电影通过安迪这一任务,他的所作所为,像我们展示了希望的力量。安迪在狱中写了六年的信,终于得到了200元的资助和一些别人捐的旧书,这是安迪的狱中图书馆的开始,后来他又坚持写信,又获得了另一笔500元的图书馆资助,后来他的图书馆越办越好,他还组织别人考学历,帮助汤米从ABC开始学习。但是,他却从一开始就在为逃狱做准备,所以到最后,我们不得不佩服他的智慧,开始觉得他为典狱长洗钱是一种交易,自己可以好过些的交易,但是后
18、来才知道,他在为以后做准备。可以说,这部影片真的很精彩,他向我们展示了知识的力量和希望的力量。对于生活的态度更应该是积极的,就像安迪所说,就是因为在牢中,所以有些东西才有意义,因为他们可以告诉自已有些东西是石墙关不住的,有些东西是别人管不住的,那就是希望.所以,他重拾自己的爱好,甚至为了放几首音乐而被关禁闭两个星期。影片结局安迪成功逃狱,这只管不住的小鸟终于自由了,瑞德也终于获得假释。最后的场景很温馨,很感人。两人终于会面,我想,这应该是他们这辈子最美好的回忆吧。重获自由的那份喜悦。影片像我们阐述了希望的力量,它告诉我们:希望是件好事,也许是人间至善,而美好的东西永不消逝。总而言之,这是一部值
19、得细细品味的电影。Impression on The Shawshank RedemptionThis is the second time that I watched the movie,I wanted to watch it for a long time,but because of series of reasons I did not.Then,I finally watched it,but there was nothing left.But this time,incidentally,it gives me a lot.I have watched so many mov

21、made friends with others and became Reds friend.Difficult as the life is,there were many moving scenes such as the moment that they were drinking beers in the setting sun.Andy endured a lot,but he never gave up.What made me thought a lot was Books,he was a prisoner and took charge of the library in
22、the prison.When he was told that he could get out ,he felt sad instead of happy.As Red analyzed:In the prison ,he was somebody,but out there ,he was nobody,not to speak of his sicking hands.So Books could not fit the life outside and took his own life.Maybe,death is the real freedom to him. In fact,
23、the film tend to tell us the attitude to life-One should always feel hopeful.In a manner of speaking,the film made Andy to let us know the power of hope.All in all,the movie told us:Hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.And the film really worth seeing.The View of
24、 The Shawshank RedemptionThe charectersRed, the narrator, recounts how he planned and carried out his wifes murder by disabling her brakes, which accidentally killed a neighbor and child as well and earned him a life sentence at Shawshank Prison. Red also remembers the arrival of an inmate named And

Andy was sent to Shawshank for life in 1947 for the cold-blooded murder of his wife, Linda, and her lover, tennis pro Glenn Quentin. Despite the damning evidence placing him at the scene of the crime on the night of
26、the murders, Andy has always maintained his innocence, which Red eventually comes to believe in as well. Andy has some initial difficulty adjusting to prison life, especially because many of the other prisoners think hes a snob. A gang of men known as the Sisters frequently attack and rape him in th

Despite these hardships, however, Andy never complains or loses his confidence. The storySoon after arriving at Shawshank, Andy approaches Red and asks him to procure a rock hammer because hes interested in rock collecting and carving. After a while, he also pays Red to smuggle in some polishing cloths an
