THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
by
Frank Darabont
Based upon the story
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
by Stephen King
1 INT -- CABIN -- NIGHT (1946)
A dark, empty room.
The door bursts open. A MAN and WOMAN
enter, drunk and
giggling, horny as hell. No sooner is the door
shut than
they're all over each other, ripping at clothes,
pawing at
flesh, mouths locked together.
He gropes for a lamp, tries to turn it on, knocks
it over
instead. Hell with it. He's got more urgent things
to do, like
getting her blouse open and his hands on her
breasts. She
arches, moaning, fumbling with his fly. He
slams her against
the wall, ripping her skirt. We hear fabric tear.
He enters her right then and there, roughly, up
against the
wall. She cries out, hitting her head against the
wall but not
caring, grinding against him, clawing his back,
HELLO EVERYONE!

电影《肖申克的救赎》中的人生哲理
前些日子，又重新观看了美国经典老电影 ——《肖申克的救赎》。影片讲述了银行家安迪・杜弗伦因涉嫌谋杀妻子及其情夫，被判终身监禁，在肖申克监狱服刑。为了重获自由，他自入狱一个月后便开始谋划，用一把 7 英寸的小钉锤挖穿厚厚的监舍水泥墙，成功越狱。之后，他利用服刑期间为典狱长收黑钱造假账所虚构的身份、证件和转移的资金，逃离边境，隐居在墨西哥边陲小岛。这部影片虽拍摄时间较早，但其中蕴含的人生哲理却发人深省：
一、梦想点燃希望之光。安迪因私自播放唱片被关禁闭后，出来向狱友们分享了一段触动心灵的话语：在这个世界上，有一些地方，虽非坚石筑就，但有些东西会深入其中，无人可及，无人能碰，它们只属于你，那就是希望（hope）。安迪的越狱计划从入狱 1 个月向瑞德购买小钉锤起，便从未间断、未曾半途而废，坚持了近 20 年，最终将看似不可能之事变为现实。此类实例数不胜数，皆源于伟大的梦想和坚定的信念。莱特兄弟怀揣飞天之梦，翱翔于蓝天；加加林心怀太空之梦，踏入宇宙；阿姆斯特朗志在登月，留下了人类的足迹；NASA 追逐火星之梦，实现了着陆壮举，旅行者 1 号、2 号更是飞出太阳系，迈向星际空间；红军心怀革命理想，完成了二万五千里长征，创造了世界军事史上的奇迹。心怀梦想，并为之拼搏奋斗，才有成功的希望。若无梦想，或只是空想而不付诸行动，终将一事无成。诚如那句半开玩笑的话：梦想还是要有的，万一实现了呢！
二、坚持铸就胜利之匙。安迪为扩建监狱图书馆、丰富狱友文化生活，每周给州议员写一封信，如此坚持了六年有余，却仅得到 200 美元和一些旧书。然而，他并未放弃，而是继续写信，每周两封，一直坚持到 1959 年（他于 1947 年入狱），最终，他的不懈坚守和执着打动了议员，获得每年 500 美元的拨款。坚持就是胜利，这是浅显易懂的道理。虽说坚持并非万能，但不坚持，许多事情都将功亏一篑、一无所获。当然，也要考量所坚持之事是否值得，若在无价值之事上盲目坚持，便会陷入迂腐、固执之境，此时需懂得适时放手。
《肖申克的救赎》中的救赎主题浅析 -->《肖申克的救赎》中的救赎主题浅析-An Analysis of the Theme of Redemption in The Shaption Ⅰ. Introduction 引言 电影肖申克的救赎是改编自斯蒂芬·金的同名小说，给人留下了深刻的印象。从影片的片名不难看出，这部电影是讲救赎的问题。那么什么是救赎？主耶稣在福音提供了一条救赎的道路。所谓的“挽救”是揭示人类的痛苦;所谓的“救赎”是实现我们的目标。 The film The Shaption the same name novel of Stephen King has left a deep impression on the people. From the title of the film, it is not difficult to see that the film is talking about the issue of redemption. Then ption? The Lord Jesus in The Gospel has provided a road to redemption for us. The so-called “save” is revealing the distress of human beings; so-called “redemption” is that the ost concerned about is bodied in The Shaption. 故事开始于一个年轻的银行家Andy Dufrense，通过旁证受害，谋杀他的妻子和她的情人而审判定罪。他被判处连续两次在肖申克州立监狱终身监禁。他不仅身体存在于这所监狱，他的心中无他周围的土褐色的墙壁。 The story begins ized by circumstantial evidence, resulting in a conviction for the murder of his ind free from the drab .

They have goals, but as the years go by the goals gradually faded, as they had been institutionalized. The Shaption helps re-examine life and find the dreams again. Andy retrieves his freedom at last. Time and perseverance can help achieve everything. People should treat s! Ⅱ. Th -->e Origin and Connotation of Redemption 救赎的起源与内涵 aigelaen, 2003: 3) Christianity is a anifestation of values, ethics and cultural values. It influences profoundly all aspects of American life. Therefore, the secular meaning of this Christian doctrine has also been developed: only keeping faith, people can get hope, save themselves and the that moment, the nenly announced: “I believe in te.” There is no doubt that it is a and implied the prison guard, and then the prison guard ething inappropriately, he might be the next one to be beaten. The ne the free iliation from the old prisoners. But Andy did not e in the e to madness the first night. That innocent fat boy was badly beaten up by the prison guard and died, because he could not wit -->hstand others’ provocation and cried. All of those happened on the first day. It shoselves at all. Hoething for himself. He starts to make a plan to escape from the prison. This is the origin of redemption. 2.2 The Connotation “Since the 20th century, along ent of industrialized societies, people are doubt about the and the nature of human, e loss of faith. In this dark an beings have to struggle to survive; ust make every effort to find a about redemption provides the ansption? It is the dignity and belief. And redeem for and hope. Redemption is a breaking imprisonment, hope prevailing over despair; a an dignity. Andy is succeeded. During this process, the Christian doctrine redemption plays a very important role. It is because of this, Andy has al, has never given up the pursuit of freedom, , the azure blue sky and blue sea, symbolize the ideal freedom; and that small boat and tile is a symbol of hope for a better future.

There is something inside that they can not get to that they can not touch. That is yours. That is hope.” Indeed, the prison , and even institutionalized things can bind spiritual freedom, but only hope that can not be given up. Life eaningless. Hope is a kind of flos in the dream. s and hope, brace the future. Ⅲ.

In Andy’s mind, he has not given up hope of freedom, and he makes every effort mer an about 600 years to tunnel under the mer. This is indeed a vast project, but Andy is succeeded. Everyone, including the warden and Red, could not believe that Andy spent 20 years tunneling the wall, and then crawling five hundred yards, which was the length of -->five football fields. He regained his freedom. Andy achieves self-redemption. 3.1.2 Spiritual Redemption The spiritual redemption in the film is one of the most important themes. Redemption, as a kind of invisible po.
