The Shawshank Redemption

The Shawshank Redemption, which is one of the most worth-watching movies throughout the human history. The film can simply described as a prison-break story, which takes us only several hours, but the leading role, Andy, almost 20 years. At the beginning, Andy is ordered to serve two life sentences for two victims, his wife and her lover, who are supposed to be murdered by him. But it turns out to be a miscarriage of justice. In the following 19 years living in prison, Andy has gone through a lot of hardships and fortunately made a real friend, Red, another leading role in this film. Andy is amazing guy who has even won the respect from the jailors because of the comprehensive knowledge of accounting. He is also a guy of incredible perseverance that he has spent 19 years to tunnel through the prison wall and successfully escaped the prison at the end. When seeing he is extending his arms in front of himself in the heavy rain to enjoy the freedom, I was so touched. I think it is hard to say whether it is a happy story or a sad one, because the plot, you know, really makes your heart ache and the ending may make the cruelest man in the world smile. "Two old friends""on the beautiful beach of Mexico""hugging each other""after tens of years suffering in the prison" I think it is so wonderful that it can't be expressed in words. Well, I like the film so much because it always reminds me that we should appreciate the beauty of life and fight for the dignity of human beings. And the most important is to keep hope forever, just as the sentence on the film poster — “fear can hold you prisoner; hope can set you free”.
