Get a hope and keep it.

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2004)

Years ago i heard about this film and now i have watched it. Its lines make me think a lot. Andy was a silent man. However there is an ambitious goal in his mind. That is the hope. He said hope is a good thing while Red said it was a dangerous thing. Because of the big hope Andy was busy for it everyday."Get busy living, or get busy dying" , which is his word. it reminds me the saying of a famous Chinese writer Lu Sun. That is ¡°break out in silence or perdition in silence¡±. What do you think about it? When i think over this word 'hope' i strongly feel that it is a guider in my lifetime. Without a hope I don't know what I am doing everyday. With a hope everyday is meaningful.And it is not a waste of time.
Certainly there is a strong mind in Andy's heart insists him to do what he was doing. If hope is the first thing , insisting will be the second thing.No matter how hard it is, we shall not give up our hope while we are approaching it. Andy is the bird with beautiful feathers and it is a sin to forbid him in prison. His escaping is predetermined. Miracle is coming true by Andy¡¯s Rock-hammer. Our dreams are also coming true by our hands.
In the film, talking between Andy and Red and Red¡¯s monologue described vivid interpersonal activity. And this peaceful talking may stimulate readers¡¯ inner billows better than exciting dialogue. Andy¡¯s guilt to his wife has been released and got redemption after locking in Shaw shank prison for nigh teen years. The heaviest burden of a person in one¡¯s lifetime is from inside rather than outside. Lots of lines in the film are valuable for us to take our time to taste. And everyone shall remember that hope is a good thing.
