The best director ever

Chapter 555 Redemption
Later, Andy started doing things again.

This time he sneaked into the room where the radio was playing, and played a song for Shawshank Prison.

At the moment when the singing sounded, whether it was the prisoners walking in the playground or the prisoners working in the labor reformation, he raised his head at the same time and looked at the place where the singing sound came from.

Although many people can't appreciate this song, although many people can't even understand the lyrics, and some even find it unpleasant, they still stare at the sky in a daze, with hope flashing in their eyes.

Just like Rhett said: "I never understood what they sang, and in fact I didn't want to understand. At this time, words are better than words. They sang an unspeakable beauty, which is heartbreaking. The singing Straight into the clouds, surpassing the dreams of amnesiac prisoners, like a bird flying into a prison cell, making the walls disappear without a trace. At this moment, all the prisoners in Shawshank feel free again."

Andy leisurely put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to enjoy the beauty of the music. Even after he was arrested and put in confinement, he was still not sad.

After he came out, he touched his chest and said to his inmates, "They took away everything from me, but they couldn't take away what was in my heart."

Yes, it's like shutting down the master but not the heart.

If the audience doesn't understand these words, then it will be more brutal.

It's like forcibly killing someone else's cute girl, taking away her body, but not her heart.

Later, Andy continued to make troubles, writing letters to the government every week for an unknown number of years, and finally drove the government crazy, directly gave him books and money, and helped Shawshank build a prison library.

He can even listen to music.

After the incident was exposed, many media interviewed the warden.The warden unceremoniously took the credit for himself, and even said that he would lead the prisoners to do more "meaningful" things in the future.

These prisoners are free labor.

There are loopholes everywhere in manpower and materials, and you can profit from it everywhere.And behind every black money, there is Andy, and he is responsible for it.

He and Rhett revealed that after the warden retires, he will be a millionaire!
This was an unimaginable sum in the 60s.

The audience couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, this is so frivolous, isn't it too profitable?

The key is that Andy also fabricated an identity, so he is not afraid of being found out.

This further fueled the warden's desire for corruption.

This went on for many years until 66: Andy's 19th year in prison!
At this moment, Andy has gray hair on his temples, and he still wears presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose when he reads a book.After he established the library, he has helped many inmates obtain diplomas over the years.

And this year, many new prisoners came to the prison. One of them was Tommy, a thief who liked to tell jokes, and soon became friends with the prisoners.

He asked Andy Dubai to start learning from the spelling of the alphabet.Andy is willing to teach him not only because of Tommy's lovable character, but also because of the necessity of prison life.

Prison life is really slow, and prisoners have their own ways to pass the time.Someone collected stamps, someone built a match house, Andy used to carve stones, and then built a library. Now, he has a new plan, which is to help Tommy get a diploma.

In prison, you have to find something to do when you have nothing to do.

But unexpectedly, Andy's unintentional move to pass the time brought him an unexpected surprise.

This young man named Tommy had been in other prisons for stealing cars.In that prison, he met a fellow inmate who said he once lurked in a golf club and preyed on the rich.In one miss, he killed the manager of the golf club and his mistress.

The prisoner also showed off to Tommy, saying that the mistress's husband, the big banker, had taken the blame for himself.

Whoa!
At this moment, audiences all over the world were in an uproar. Although everyone had expected that Andy didn't look like a murderer through his usual performance, they didn't expect the truth of the matter to be so weird.

Andy was wronged as expected, and took the blame for others.

20 years in prison
It's really sitting in vain.

Later, Andy, who found the truth, came to the warden's office and told him that he was wronged, hoping that he could help him reverse the case.

But this was ruthlessly rejected by the warden, who also said that what Tommy said was a lie.

It seems that this is not enough for the warden to simply kill Tommy without doing anything else.

Now it's clean, just launder money for Lao Tzu, do you have to overturn the case?And you, Tommy, just stay here and tell Randy the truth?

Why bother, and ruined his own life.

Seeing the extremely dark scene, the hearts of the audience were instantly chilled.

Is reality really that dark?
"Fuck, it's too dark, right? In order to prevent Andy from overturning the case, just kill the innocent witnesses directly?"

"It's so vicious!"

"The warden is also afraid that after Andy overturns the case and is released from prison, he will tell about his money laundering."

"Hehe, I bet that the year the warden retires is the year Andy loses his use value, that is, the year he dies. With the warden's urinating nature, it is absolutely impossible to put Andy This hidden danger is left behind."

As soon as the camera turned, Tommy, the soy saucer, became the second prisoner to be killed in the movie.

Compared with Tommy, Andy's experience is even more chilling.He was really wronged. I really don't know how he survived 20 years in prison.

Some viewers thought, this Tommy might as well not show up, and it would be better not to tell Andy the truth of the matter.

Give him a little hope, and then reality sends more despair.

Some viewers suddenly thought of what Rhett once said to Andy: "My friend, let me tell you, hope is only dangerous. Hope can drive people crazy. Hope is useless. You'd better not have hope."

That's what Rhett said to Andy after Andy made a song disturbance.At that time, after he said this, he went to apply for bail for 30 years in prison, but the result was still rejected.At that time, nine years have passed since now.

In Reid's eyes, one should never have any hope for such a hopeless place as a prison, just muddle through, otherwise the hope will be greater.
The greater the disappointment.

This is the conclusion that Reid has come to after years of prison life, just like every time he applied for parole with hope, but all he got was rejected.Over time, Rhett no longer had any hope.

This is a very negative theory, but in prison, it is the most applicable theory, especially for those prisoners who serve life sentences.

Rhett was very negative. He felt that he had been institutionalized and hopeless.

But not Andy.

Just like before he left, he told Rhett that he would spend the rest of his life in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, because it was close to the sea.Because there is a saying in Mexico, people say that the Pacific Ocean is an ocean without memories.

Andy wants to spend the rest of his life in this place where he has abandoned his unbearable memories.

But Rhett obviously didn't understand this idea. Shawshank is thousands of miles away from Mexico, and you don't have wings, how can you get there?
Then Andy told Rhett: "It's true, it's far away, but people always have to make choices."

"Get busy living, or get busy dying!"

These words startled Rhett, and hit the hearts of many viewers.

busy with work?With hope, life is more meaningful.

Busy to die?Despondent, not interested in anything, feel that life is meaningless, it is better to die.

Andy chooses to be busy living, Brooke chooses to be busy dying.

Reid hovered on both sides. He used to have no hope, but after being in contact with Andy for a long time, his attitude is slowly changing.
Before parting, Andy asked Reid to go under the big locust tree after he was released from prison on parole, where there is nothing left for him.

Then, Andy disappeared from everyone's sight one night.

It wasn't until the warden accidentally discovered the big hole behind the poster on the wall that he realized that Andy had escaped from prison.

The audience was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Andy bought the hammer to dig a tunnel, and bought the poster just to cover the hole!

On the screen, the climax of the whole film!
On this night of lightning and thunder, Andy lifted the poster, climbed into the hole, then climbed out of the house, and then climbed out of the prison along the sewer pipe, and climbed to freedom.

That distance is almost five football fields long!

But Andy endured the stench, and crawled outside little by little.
Climbed all the way to the river outside the prison.

Facing the stormy night, he opened his arms and raised his head high, as if he was embracing the downpour and the freedom he had not seen for 20 years.

A relieved laugh came from Andy's mouth, which was a mockery of fate and a satire of the system!
You can lock my body, but you can never lock my heart!

At this moment, audiences all over the world are boiling, watching the scene of Andy embracing the heavy rain, watching the water stains slide down his face, I don’t know how many people want to learn from him, and embrace the freedom outside the fence with him .

As soon as the camera turned, Andy appeared in various banks in a suit and leather shoes, pretending to be that intangible identity, and ran away with the warden's money.When I left, I didn't forget to report the warden's crime of corruption.

When the police came to arrest the warden that day, the old guy chose to kill himself and shot through his jaw through his entire head.

Later, Reid received a postcard from Andy. Although he didn't write his name, he knew that it was from Andy.Because he remembered that the place on the postcard was the ocean without memories where Andy was going.

Facing this old friend, Reid not only misses, but also praises: "Some birds should not be kept in cages. Every feather of them shines with the brilliance of freedom."

Shortly afterward, Reid applied for parole after serving 40 years in prison.

This time, it may be because he is old, has no use value, and can no longer cause harm to society.Or maybe it was because his indifferent attitude caught the examiner's attention.

Because he knew that he had been institutionalized, and he could only end up in the same end as Brooke if he went out.

But this time, his parole application was granted.

So he went back to Brook's old road, living in a big room by himself, working as a packer in a supermarket, unable to urinate without reporting, and unable to sleep without the atmosphere of prison restraint.

He suffers from the same prison institutionalization syndrome as Brooke, and doesn't fit in with the new world.

Until he remembered what Andy left him, he didn't hang himself like Brooke.

In the last scene of the movie, Reid digs out the gift under the locust tree, which contains the travel money and a letter left by Andy.

What impressed the audience most in the letter was a sentence: "Remember, Rhett, hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing. Hope is always there."

At this moment, Rhett was silent for a long time.

Hope, he once said to Andy, is dangerous, it drives a man mad and brings more disappointment.

Now, he wavered.

Should he choose redemption, or continue to perish?

The audience also watched this scene nervously, is it self-salvation?Or sink to death like Brooke?
In the end, Reid chose to go to Andy.

He chose redemption!
As soon as the camera turned, the conversation came to a beach where Andy was wiping the hull of the boat, and Rhett walked over with his bare feet stepping on the sand.

The two saw each other from a long distance away, then looked at each other with a smile, and walked over.

The camera kept zooming in until the two hugged each other and became a small black spot on the seashore.

The movie is over!
