The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 395 The Misfit in the World

This movie has two real villains.

The first is the sanctimonious warden, who held a bible when he first addressed the new prisoner, and said: "I only believe in two things here, discipline and the bible, and here, you two things can get it.”

The second is Hadley, the leader of the prison guards, who is brutal and brutal. As long as someone offends him in the prison, he will either be beaten to paralysis or beaten to death.

In Shawshank, there are no human rights.

The warden and guards are the masters.

This movie is telling all audiences from the beginning.

How bad is Hong Chen's situation now.

Unjustly imprisoned, permanently imprisoned, sanctimonious warden and brutal prison guards
It was like a nightmare from which I would never wake up.

Ordinary people encountering such a situation, I am afraid that they have already lost any will to survive.

The first night is the hardest for a new prisoner.

The old prisoners would wantonly mock the new prisoners, and this happened every year.

They swear and mock the new prisoner, hoping that the new prisoner they bet on will be the first to cry.

"I can't take it anymore, I don't belong here, I'm going back to my mother."

Finally, the fattest one couldn't take it anymore and was the first to cry.

Hearing his cries, the whole prison began to cheer.

They laughed wantonly in the room surrounded by iron railings.

"A winner is born!"

"It's that fat man, that fat man cries first!"

"Your mother isn't that good."

At this moment, the cheers of the prison attracted prison guard Hadley.With four or five people, he barged in viciously.

At this moment, all the old prisoners shut up and became quiet, except the fat man who was still crying.

"Shut up!" Hadley came to the door of the fat man's prison and yelled.

"Sir, I don't belong here, they made a mistake." The fat man was still crying, and begged him for mercy.

Seeing his appearance, Hadley's face became more gloomy, and he said, "I counted to three, no, actually I don't even want to count one."

Immediately, he took off his hat and handed it to the person next to him, and asked his younger brother to open the prison door, then rushed in and pulled the fat man out, took out his baton and began to beat the fat man severely.

Until the fat man lay flat on the ground, no longer breathing.

"Send him to the infirmary." Hadley said indifferently.

Immediately, he glanced at the others again, and threatened viciously: "If I hear any rats farting again tonight, don't think about it!"

After speaking, he left.

This night, it has always been Freeman's perspective.

And the person he bet on was Hong Chen.

Usually Freeman can always guess who is the first to cry, but this year was his most unsuccessful year, because Hong Chen didn't make a sound the whole night.

He went through such a predicament, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this time.

The fat man died in the infirmary the next day.

For the next month, Hong Chen was in prison, walking alone, not saying a word, and rarely communicating with others.

Freeman has been watching him silently, Freeman thought to himself, probably because he is still adapting to the prison environment.

It wasn't until a month later that Hong Chen talked to someone for the first time, and the person he was looking for was Freeman.

Hong Chen knew that Freeman could get anything, so he hoped to buy a small hammer for breaking rocks from him.

"Why buy a hammer? To dig a tunnel?" Freeman asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Hong Chen smiled and said, "You will understand when you see that hammer, it's impossible. I'm a rock lover, and I just want to satisfy my hobbies at a minimum."

Then, the two struck a deal.

When Freeman got the little hammer from outside, he really couldn't help laughing.

Because that hammer is small.

"If someone really wanted to use this hammer to dig a tunnel to escape, it would take at least 600 years."

That was Freeman's first thought when he saw the hammer.

Since then, it has been Hong Chen from Freeman's perspective.

"I can see why so many people think he's pretentious."

"Because his quietness is different."

"Speaking and walking are out of place here."

"Like a person walking in the park, carefree."

"It was as if there was an invisible garment separating him from here."

The way this movie tells the story is very different from other movies. It belongs to the kind of eloquent but extremely attractive style.

The filming of the whole play is also very smooth.

This drama requires hundreds of ensemble performers in prison uniforms every day, and ensemble performances in the United States are expensive, so the cost is not small.

The subsequent plot was a little depressing, Hong Chen offended the "Sister Gang" for some reason.

He naturally rose up to resist, but just like the movie said, this is not a fairy tale, the reality is often very cold.

In the next two years, Hong Chen often had injuries on his face and body.

Freeman watched him silently as a bystander.

This is a real prison. There are not so many gangs in a real prison, and there are not so many fights. Some are just obedience.

Because Hong Chen was independent, no one helped him.

Freeman liked Hong Chen's character very much, but he couldn't really help him.

Freeman couldn't help but think: "The first two years must have been his hardest two years. I believe he won't be able to survive after a while."

It wasn't until a mission in Kaichun that all this changed.

The task was to apply asphalt to the roof, which was a very good job for the prisoners because it was May, and the sun was so bright in May that they could see the sun.

Prisoners crave the outdoors.

Freeman knew the jailer very well, so he and the group of people he made friends with were all on the list for the price of two packs of cigarettes, including Hong Chen.

While working outdoors, a few of them were mopping asphalt.Prison guards gossiping there.

The talking point was that C.O. Hadley got a $35000 inheritance and was unhappy complaining because he had to pay a large amount of taxes.

Hong Chen was a banker before he was imprisoned and knew how to avoid taxes reasonably.

Then, at the risk of being thrown from the roof by Hadley, Hong Chen stepped forward to offer his own suggestion.According to his proposal, Hadley would not have to pay a penny of tax money.

Similarly, Hadley didn't need to hire a lawyer, because Hong Chen could fill in all the forms for him.

The premise is that Hong Chen hopes that Hadley can invite each of his "colleagues" to drink three bottles of cold beer.

Here, Hong Chen used "colleague" instead of "associate" or "prisoner", and this sentence also received a warning sarcasm.

In the end, Hong Chen did it.

He won a bucket of cold beer for these people.

The voiceover is Freeman's voice:

"The day before the end of the project, in the spring of 1949, a group of prisoners were laying asphalt on the roof. At 10 o'clock in the morning, they sat together, drinking cold beer. The people who treated them were the most vicious and miserly in the entire Shawshank prison. prison guard."

"We sat in the sun, drank beer, and felt like free men."

"It's like fixing our own roof, we still have everything."

The screen cuts to Hong Chen, and the narration continues:
"And Andy, sitting right now in the shade of the roof, with a weird smile on his face, watching us share his beer."

"Some people say that Andy did this to please the prison guards, while others say he did it to make friends with us."

"As for me, I think Andy did it to feel like a normal person again."

"Even if it's just for a short while."
