"Shawshank's Redemption" is undoubtedly a good film, with no movements, no special effects, and even no beauty, but it still impresses the audience deeply, and has been fascinating after more than ten years. How does it attract us? Some people say it is because it reflects the "resilience of human nature." Indeed, with a small hammer, in nearly 20 years, in a fascist prison with extremely strict personal control, a small escape tunnel was dug (perhaps it is more appropriate to cut a small tunnel. That hammer is too good. ). Doesn't this reflect people's tenacity? However, I think this plot is obviously dramatic. This is just the director’s need for plot arrangement. The ending is just to reflect the success of Andy’s "self-salvation", otherwise the entire plot and theme will be unsustainable. So some people think that "Shawshank's Redemption" actually reflects how precious "hope" is to people. Yes, there are many places where hope is directly mentioned in the film. For example, Andy said in a letter to Reid after escaping from prison: "Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies." Perhaps this is what the work and the director want to tell us. "Fear can hold you prisoner, Hope can set you free." This sentence has become famous.
