二 电影评论
It’s the second
time I watch the film The Shawshank Redemption.Every time I see it,I feel
impressed.As for the theme of the film,I conclude it as the three words below.
1 wisdom
Andy is a man
full of wisdom.One hand,his professional capacity on economic.He earned some
beer for his friends because he helped a prison guard save a lot of tax.Then many other prison
guards went and found him for helping them handle some economic problems.The
worst was,the warden of the prison asked him to make illegal money for him.Of
course,that also made him a rich man after his successful jailbreak.The other
hand,he had been dibbling for 19 years,but never been found.Wasn't he smart?
2 insistence
Two things I
have a deep impression.First one, Andy writed the state senate and requested funds from them for the
construction of the prison library.He had been rejected for a lot of times,but he never gave
up.He insisted on writting letters,at last ,he built that library.And the
second one,after a long time ,most of the convicts in prison get used to it.Enough time passes
,they get so they depend on it.But Andy never give up his hope,He insisted on
working for a jailbreak for 19 years,even he gradually get used to it.
3 friendship
The
friendship between Andy and Red also make me moved.They didn’t say any
emotional words,but they understand each other quite well.Andy’s harmonica for
Red,Red’s poster for Andy,their worries for the other and Andy’s leaving notes
for Red are all detailed evidence of their friendship.Their meet on the sunny
beach in Mexico starts another trip of their friendship.
