肖申克的救赎中英文影评全教学文案

《肖申克的救赎》观后感这是我第二次看这部电影。

其实在很早之前我都一直想看它，但是碍于各种原因一直没机会，后来终于有机会了，但却没留下任何印象。

而这一次，又完全是偶然，但是却给了我不少感触，收获颇多，觉得这是一部值得再看的电影。

我看过不少写狱中生活的电影，包括《越狱》，它们所反映的狱中生活都是恐怖的代名词。

这部电影也不然。

但是，它除了描述邪恶之外，更多的是人的希望，激发人积极向上的思想。

无辜的银行家安迪入狱，开始时努力适应新环境，但并不和别人打交道，但是两个月后还是开始和别人打起了交道，并和瑞德等人成为好朋友，狱中生活虽然很艰苦，但是其中不乏温馨的场面，譬如，瑞德他们一群人在夕阳的余晖下享受安迪的啤酒，享受心灵上的自由......虽然安迪在狱中也受了不少苦，但是他从未自暴自弃。

让我很有感触的还有老布，他是监狱中看管图书馆的，也是一名罪犯，在狱中呆了大半辈子，最终获假释时却不想出去。

瑞德分析他是制度化了，在狱中他是有地位的，但是出去后他什么都干不了，更何况双手又有关节炎。

所以，出狱后不久，老布便自杀了，我想也许死于他才是真正的一种自由。

其实，电影着重向人们传递一种生活的态度，一种永远心存希望的人生态度。

可以说，被判无期徒刑的安迪甚至于鲨堡狱中所有的有罪的无罪的罪犯，他们的生活几乎是没有希望了，但是电影通过安迪这一任务，他的所作所为，像我们展示了希望的力量。

安迪在狱中写了六年的信，终于得到了200元的资助和一些别人捐的旧书，这是安迪的狱中图书馆的开始，后来他又坚持写信，又获得了另一笔500元的图书馆资助，后来他的图书馆越办越好，他还组织别人考学历，帮助汤米从ABC开始学习。

但是，他却从一开始就在为逃狱做准备，所以到最后，我们不得不佩服他的智慧，开始觉得他为典狱长洗钱是一种交易，自己可以好过些的交易，但是后来才知道，他在为以后做准备。

可以说，这部影片真的很精彩，他向我们展示了知识的力量和希望的力量。

对于生活的态度更应该是积极的，就像安迪所说，就是因为在牢中，所以有些东西才有意义，因为他们可以告诉自已有些东西是石墙关不住的，有些东西是别人管不住的，那就是希望......所以，他重拾自己的爱好，甚至为了放几首音乐而被关禁闭两个星期。

影片结局安迪成功逃狱，这只管不住的小鸟终于自由了，瑞德也终于获得假释。

最后的场景很温馨，很感人。

两人终于会面，我想，这应该是他们这辈子最美好的回忆吧。

重获自由的那份喜悦。

影片像我们阐述了希望的力量，它告诉我们：希望是件好事，也许是人间至善，而美好的东西永不消逝。

总而言之，这是一部值得细细品味的电影。

Impression on The Shawshank Redemption This is the second time that I watched the movie,I wanted to watch it for a long time,but because of series of reasons I did not.Then,I finally watched it,but there was nothing left.But this time,incidentally,it gives me a lot.I have watched so many movies about the life in the prison,but what they reflect are bad things.But in this movie,you can see more moving scenes instead of evil.Andy was innocent,but he was in the prison.He tried his best to adjust to the environment at first,and seldom spoke to other people,but two months later,he began to made friends with others and became Red’s friend.Difficult as the life is,there were many moving scenes such as the moment that they were drinking beers in the setting sun.Andy endured a lot,but he never gave up.What made me thought a lot was Books,he was a prisoner and took charge of the library in the prison.When he was told that he could get out ,he felt sad instead of happy.As Red analyzed:In the prison ,he was somebody,but out there ,he was nobody,not to speak of his sicking hands.So Books could not fit the life outside and took his own life.Maybe,death is the real freedom to him.In fact,the film tend to tell us the attitude to life----One should always feel hopeful.In a manner of speaking,the film made Andy to let us know the power of hope.All in all,the movie told us：Hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.And the film really worth seeing.The View of The Shawshank RedemptionThe charectersRed, the narrator, recounts how he planned and carried out his wife’s murder by disabling her brakes, which accidentally killed a neighbor and child as well and earned him a life sentence at Shawshank Prison. Red also remembers the arrival of an inmate named Andy Dufresne, whose tenure at Shawshank affected the lives of everyone at the prison. Andy was sent to Shawshank for life in 1947 for the cold-blooded murder of his wife, Linda, and her lover, tennis pro Glenn Quentin. Despite the damning evidence placing him at the scene of the crime on the night of the murders, Andy has always maintained his innocence, which Red eventually comes to believe in as well.Andy has some initial difficulty adjusting to prison life, especially because many of the other prisoners think he’s a snob. A gang of men known as the Sisters frequently attack and rape him in the laundry room while the guards look the other way. Andy fights the Sisters, even though it always lands him in the infirmary and sometimes solitary confinement. Despite these hardships, however, Andy never complains or loses his confidence.The storySoon after arriving at Shawshank, Andy approaches Red and asks him to procure a rock hammer because he’s interested in rock collecting and carving. After a while, he also pays Red to smuggle in some polishing cloths and then, rather nervously, a large poster of pinup Rita Hayworth. Red fulfills Andy’s requests.After a few years, Red and Andy both find themselves on a work crew, tarring the roof of the prison’s license plate factory. Andy overhears Byron Hadley, a prison guard, complaining to the other guards about the taxes he’ll have to pay on the $35,000 he just inherited from his long-lost brother. Andy offers Hadley some financial advice by telling him to give the money to his wife as a one-time tax-free gift. Andy even offers to fill out the paperwork for Hadley in exchange for giving three beers to each prisoner on the work crew. After some initial hesitation and suspicion, Hadley agrees. The deal wins Andy the respect of everyone involved and makes him a mythic hero in the eyes of the prisoners. Andy also becomes a valuable financial resource to those who run the prison. As a result, the guards and the warden protect Andy from the Sisters, make him the prison librarian, and don’t assign other inmates to his cell. Andy relishes his new position and works hard during the next two decadesto significantly expand the library.Andy’s financial responsibilities start with filing the guards’ tax returns, but they soon expand to laundering money for the various prison wardens, including Bible-thumping Samuel Norton. Andy has no moral objection to hiding the money that Norton receives from construction companies, but he doesn’t realize that doing so also hurts his chances of ever leaving Shawshank.A new inmate named Tommy Williams arrives at Shawshank and tells Andy that he served time in another prison with Elwood Blatch, a man who privately admitted to killing tennis pro Glenn Quentin. When Andy asks Norton to request a retrial, Norton dismisses Andy’s claims and puts him in solitary confinement for more than a month on the “grain and drain”diet of bread and water. Norton, meanwhile, transfers Tommy Williams to another prison out of fear that Andy would expose his money laundering operation if paroled. After another aborted attempt to reason with the warden and another stint in solitary, Andy drops the issue and becomes more brooding and introspective.Eventually Andy emerges from his lengthy depression and tells Red one day that he had a friend set up a false identity for him. Under the false identity, the friend invested $14,000 of Andy’s money, which has since become more than $370,000. Andy, however, can’t touch the money, saved under his alternate identity, because he would risk exposing himself and losing everything. The documents and lucrative bonds are kept in a safe-deposit box at a local bank, the key to which has been stashed under a black volcanic rock wedged into a stone wall in the countryside near the prison. Andy dreams of escaping, assuming the new identity, and becoming the proprietor of a small hotel in Mexico. Andy also imagines Red going with him.Red thinks nothing of this until years later when the prison guards find Andy’s cell empty one morning. The guards search the prison but find nothing, until an extremely frustrated Norton rips the pinup poster from the wall to reveal a gaping hole in the thick concrete. The hole leads to the sewage drainpipe, which empties into the marshes surrounding Shawshank. Red figures that Andy slowly and systematically used the rock hammer and polishing cloths every night for nearly twenty years to carve through the wall. After completing his hole, Red also figures that it took Andy roughly eight years to muster the courage to actually try to escape.Red adds a postscript to his story about a year later, writing from a hotel in Portland, Maine, after being released from Shawshank. The transition to life on the outside has been tough, and Red thinks of Andy when he feels the urge to commit a petty crime or violate the terms of his parole so that he’ll be put back in prison. Now working as a bag boy at a supermarket, Red uses his days off to explore the countryside, partly because he likes the freedom and the space but also because he’s lookingfor the volcanic rock where Andy hid the key to the safe-deposit box.Red walks the rural hayfields in search of the stone wall Andy had described years earlier, and after several weeks of searching, he finally finds the rock. Underneath, Red discovers a letter addressed to him from Peter Stevens, Andy’s pseudonym. The letter invites Red to join Andy in Mexico and includes a gift of $1,000. Red concludes the postscript with renewed hope for the future as he decides to abandon his job, violate his parole, and make his way to Mexico to find Andy.Analysis of Major CharactersRedRed is the lifeline of the prison, the man who can smuggle almost anything into Shawshank from the outside world. By making himself indispensable to the other inmates, Red affords himself protection and an esteemed place in the pecking order of the prison yard. He forces the other men to do business on his terms and knows full well the need to defend his own interests in a world where violence and exploitation are the norm. Ultimately, however, Red’s hardened stance conceals his fear and insecurity as he struggles to make sense of his life both in and out of prison. Even though Red’s narrative focuses on Andy and his eventual escape, Red admits that the story is really all about himself. Andy’s inner confidence and sense of self-worth represent the part of Red that Hadley, Norton, and the other prison authorities never managed to crush. Although Red has undoubtedly thought of escaping numerous times during his thirty-eight years in prison, it is Andy’s resolute sense of hope that Red admires. Red knows that hope is what keeps him and every other inmate alive.Andy DufresneAndy is an enigma to Red and the other inmates, a man they admire but never really understand. An element of fantasy infuses the characterization of Andy: at one point King even refers to the mysterious “myth-magic” that his protagonist seemingly possesses. In truth, Andy is an anomalous figure who stands out from the rest of the inmates at Shawshank Prison, but not for any mythical or spiritual reason. Andy’s calm, cool collectedness govern his interactions with the world around him, and he rarely succumbs to emotion or cheap sentiment. What many inmates take for snobbery is actually reserve and caution as Andy tries to stay one step ahead of his adversaries. Without this strength and inner resolve, Andy would never have survived his twenty-eight years in prison nor managed to escape. Andy emerges as an object of fascination for many of his fellow prisoners, a figure onto whom they project their various embellishments of the ideal man: Andy, the man who can talk down the guards; Andy, the man who can manipulate the warden; and Andy, the man who canescape out from under everyone’s noses.Samuel NortonWarden Norton embodies the hypocrisies and contradictions of the penitentiary system. The national exposure and adulation he gets for his “Inside-Out” program belies and conceals the corruption that prevails during his tenure and the campaign of threats, intimidation, abuse, and excessive cruelty he employs to maintain control of the inmates. At times aligned with images of death—his face is compared to a cold slate tombstone—Norton is a self-deluded despot who justifies his exploitation and the promotion of his self-interest at the expense of others in the name of his faith and the fire-and-brimstone Bible passages he often quotes.Themes, Motifs, and Symbols ThemesThe Power of HopeHope, more than anything else, drives the inmates at Shawshank and gives them the will to live. Andy’s sheer determination to maintain his own sense of self-worth and escape keeps him from dying of frustration and anger in solitary confinement. Hope is an abstract, passive emotion, akin to the passive, immobile, and inert lives of the prisoners. Andy sets about making hope a reality in the form of the agonizing progress he makes each year tunneling his way through his concrete cell wall. Even Andy’s even-keeled and well-balanced temperament, however, eventually succumb to the bleakness of prison life. Red notes that Tommy Williams’s revelation that he could prove Andy’s innocence was like a key unlocking a cage in Andy’s mind, a cage that released a tiger called Hope. This hope reinvigorates Andy and spreads to many of the other inmates in the prison. In his letter addressed to Red, Andy writes that “hope is a good thing,” which in the end is all that Red has left. Red’s decision to go to Mexico to find Andy is the ultimate proof of Red’s own redemption, not from his life as a criminal but from his compromised state, bereft of hope and with no reason to embrace life or the future. Red’s closing words, as he embarks tentatively onto a new path, show that hope is a difficult concept to sustain both inside the prison and out.《肖申克的救赎》的影评The story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable. When I heard the name of the film first time, I considered the Shawshank to be a man’ name, but in face it is a jail——a hell in the world. Not only for the inhumanity of the jailors——they behaved brutally; but also for the jail gnawed at people’ heart by keeping them waiting and waiting as life passed. It seemed that only those utterly worthless people who gave up everything could survive. Th at’s where the story happened.The part impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jai. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom. At that moment, I saw the faith win the darkness, discharging light dazzling the eyes in the dark blue sky. Under the light, I could feel my recreant innermost being shivering as his voice said: “Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thin g ever dies!”That’s why I like this film: it encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most important is to keep hope forever. He once that is born, that is die. Everyone is the same. The only difference is whether busy living or busy dying. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and works his life right, then once is enough. The faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark, the hope is the chief happiness that this world affords, and the life should be full of the singing of the bird and the happiness hope brings. " What’s that do you think? It’s the trembling of the heart, the singing of the mind, the flying of the soul and the hope to be free.”这个故事也许看似简单，但是其中的道理却是发人深思的。
