After watching the Shawshank Redemption, my mind was filled with thoughs of hope and belief. In the prison, maybe there should be no hope as Red said ‘‘Hope is dangerous, it can make a man insane.”But the coming of Andy made a difference to everyone in Shawshank.
Andy was a young banker,whose wife had a lover outside .He hated them ,but he wasn’t a cold fish as people thought who killed his wife .He was innosent ,however,he was sentenced to Shawshank prison for all life.As we can guess,the door for free life shutting up immediately is horrible ,let alone an innocence. With a hammer,he ditched the wall behind a poster for nearly 20 years,It’s the hope and belief in his heart that leading to the successful prison break. What’s more, he attained a library which became the best prison library.In the end,He chose a lighting and thundening nignt to escape from the tunnel which took him 20 years,and crawled 500 yards in pipes, getting freedom eventually.He stretched arms in the rain,to bug the true freedom,the exchange with hard work and great hope.The scene touched me.20 years ,20 years is short to a free man,saddness to a prisoner ,but to Andy,an innocence ,there is no complain.If we are in shawshank,are we Andy,Red or Brooks?Can we continue ditching a hole for 11300 nights? Are we peace enough after prison breaking to a seaside to live our spare time ?
I love the smile on his face when he drove to his dream place,it’s so pure,without fear,worry and saddness . It’s a relief, a relief after chasing for hope,planning the future ,forgetting the past.It is just what Red found,the life can’t have no hope and belief whenever,he can’t go the way Brooks went,it’s wrong.
In the film,it is a surprise to me that Brooks wanted to kill a prisoner in order to stay in Shawshank ,but after thinking over it,I know,to a hopeless prisoner ,a sudden freedom is horrible,because he had no aim to live ,he had already adapted to the limited life, he had been institutionalized. When Brooks carved his name ,maybe he wanted to find a true freedom.But,in this world,death is just easy,the significance of this is important. However the situation is,innocent but in prison forever or casted in darkness for a month,nothing can keep us away from hope.
If I was in shawshank ,I must have accustomed to the life there. Really ,it is the horrible natural pattern.I don’t know why tears are in my eyes, maybe I’m moved by Andy’s strong and greatness,the strong hope to a man,the influence of Andy to others or the peace and pursuit in one’s heart.Now ,I really know why it is the Shawshank Redemption not Andy’s Redemption,Andy’s prison break is Shawshank’s miracle,but in fact it is a must to a strong hoper. No matter what happens,we should take Andy as a model,maintain a hope,pursuit the aim,save others around us, resist wicked power, wait for proper chances to get out of our situation eventually.
My heart was heavy after finishing the film. Forgetting the past,enjoying the spare time,maybe bad luck had tormentted Andy 3 quarters of life, complain was no use,innocent person was peaceful in heart, lying in breeze, smiling to sea ,and bad governors were punished by law as they should be ,that is the best ending.Now, I am maturer to see the obstacle and use hope as a tool to save myself and others. “Hope is a good thing.Maybe the best of things and no good things ever dies!’’
