Entertainment: The opening is forced by the old sister to be an actor

Chapter 288

The plot of “The Shawshank Redemption” is actually not complicated. What is really important is its portrayal of the theme of human nature. If you really want to classify it, it is not impossible to put it in a literary film.

Just like the title of the film, the word redemption runs through the whole work, and it depends on the performance of the actors to reveal such an abstract meaning.

The story happened in a certain year, the banker Andy was accused of shooting his wife and her lover, and Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment, which means that he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank Prison.

Lao Hei was sentenced to life imprisonment for committing a crime, and was unsuccessful on parole several times. He became the “authority figure” in Shawn Ke Prison, as long as you can afford to pay, he has a way to get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, alcohol, and even some contraband.

Whenever a new prisoner came, everyone bet on who would cry on the first night. Hei thinks that Andy, who is weak and bookish, will cry, but Andy’s silence makes him lose two packs of cigarettes, but 22 also makes Hei look at him differently.

After being in prison for a long time, Andy didn’t get in touch with anyone. While everyone complained, he took a leisurely walk in the yard, just like in a park.

A month later, the first thing Andy asked the old gangsters to do wasWest is a small pickaxe, he explained that he wanted to carve something small to pass the time, and said that he tried to escape the routine inspection of the prison.

Soon, Lao Hei started to play the chess carved by Andy.

After that, Andy made another huge poster of Yang Mi and pasted it on the wall of the cell.

Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard the guard talking about paying taxes. Andy said that he had a way to make the warden legally exempt from this large tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of warden’s beer for each of a dozen prisoner friends.

While drinking beer, Lao Hei said that for the first time in many years, he felt the feeling of freedom again.

Because Andy is proficient in the knowledge of the financial system, he soon got rid of the heavy physical labor in the prison and the harassment of other perverted prisoners.

Soon, the well-known Andy began to handle tax issues for more and more guards, and even asked him about their children’s education. At the same time, Andy gradually became an important tool for Warden Shawn Norton to launder money.

Because Andy kept writing letters to the organization, he finally applied for a small sum of money for the prison to be used for the construction of the prison library.

Prison life is very ordinary, and you always have to find something to do by yourself. Andy heard that Lao Hei liked to play the harmonica, so he bought one for him. After the night is quiet, you can hear the melodious and slight sound of the harmonica echoing in the prison inside.

The arrival of a young prisoner broke Andy’s peaceful life in prison. This prisoner had heard about Andy’s case when he was serving his sentence in another prison. He knew who the real culprit was!

But when Andy asked the warden to reopen the case, he was rejected and was severely punished by two months of solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the warden designed to kill the insider!

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed.

One day, he said to Lao Hei: “If one day, you can be released on parole, you must go somewhere to fulfill a wish for me. That is the place where I first dated my wife, and put it under a big oak tree. Dig out one of the boxes. Then you’ll know what it is.”

That night, there were heavy rain and thunder, and Andy, who had already redeemed his soul, successfully escaped from prison.

It turned out that Andy had been digging holes with that small pickaxe every day for twenty years, and then covered the hole with posters.

After Andy was released from prison, he took away some of the black money saved by the warden, and reported the truth about the warden’s embezzlement and bribery. What the warden saw in the safe where he kept his small ledger was a Bible left by Andy. On the first page, it was written that “the way of salvation is in it”, and there is also a hollowed out part in the Bible. A pickaxe used to hide digging holes.

After 40 years of prison life, Lao Hei was finally released on parole. He found a box of cash and a handwritten letter from Andy under the oak tree that he had agreed with Andy. The two old friends finally reunited on the sunny beach.

These are the main plots. Of course, in addition to this, there are characterizations about people who have lived in prison all their lives and are strangers to the world after they get out of prison, just like Old Bu who was a librarian in Shawshank Prison before.

Lao Bu played a total of seven times, running through Lao Bu’s life from prison to society to death.

The most shocking thing is the look in the eyes of Lao Bu sitting on the bus away from Shawshank Prison: lonely, terrified, confused, uneasy… like a child abandoned by the family, helpless, panicked, and the natural demeanor of the passengers around him In contrast, Lao Bu’s out-of-the-box sadness is engraved in my heart directly through the screen.

When the old cloth stands alone on a cross street where people come and go, at that moment you will feel that he is just a child, a lonely child who is homeless and has nothing to rely on. His inner panic is all over his face, but he can’t Escape, also can’t escape.

He thought of robbing with a gun, and wanted to kill the store manager and return to Shawshank, but his age was too old for him to be self-willed, and the prison would not accept an old man like him. He had reached the edge of the cliff of despair. It is the abyss of death.

Old Bu no longer stays, what he has to face when he stops is all kinds of unknowns and fears in life, he is too old, the society will not accommodate him because of his age, and he cannot adapt to this changing society like a young man , so what is the best solution?

Death, death, death!

Only by death can Lao Bu get rid of the long-held fear in his heart; only by death can Lao Bu let out the roar of despair in his heart; only by death can Lao Bu find the value of his existence in the pity of his inmates.

The so-called redemption is what is meant to be expressed here, Andy’s redemption of his own freedom and the glory of humanity.

In order to highlight these themes, Yang Su’s request can be said to have reached an unacceptable level. Sometimes just a single breath can make him stop and start again.

“Tell me about you, each of you is a big star, an actor with a professional background, an old actor, Shidi! In the end, you can’t even compare to a prisoner in prison!”

“Brother Hu! Especially you, you are the caretaker, the representative of authority in the film, you don’t need to be polite here, even if you want to give me beer, you have to give it to me in a cool way, understand?”

“And Mr. Chen, you are the second most important character in the entire plot after me. You must control your speed well. You can’t be strong for a while and weak for a while. I know you are all working hard, but we are here for the Oscars. , not to make money at the box office, I hope everyone will work harder, it’s been half a month, I don’t feel anything at all, it’s very sad, thenbring it on! ”

ps: As I write, I feel like writing a film review. I know this
