The Shawshank Redemption
There was a successful and famous movie in 1994 called ‘The Shawshank Redemption’. It moved a lot of people at that time. It got high ranks in IMDB. The storyline introduced in IMDB is ‘two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.’ It is really a good conclusion of this movie.
This movie explained the connection and the meaning of ‘dream’ and ‘redemption’. As long as you can hold the dream, you will be able to have hope of salvation.Hope is a good thing, and maybe the best thing of all.
I remembered the good saying in the movie. “Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.” Wherever you are, keep your mind free. If you are not open your heart to the world, even you are in this society, you will still feel lonely. Prison can keep you in a place, but it can’t confine your soul. Don’t be afraid even if you are in an awkward situation, everything will go well just needs time. You should believe in yourself and keep having hopes. You will lose everything only if u doesn’t have hopes.
Shawshank encompasses friendships, hardships, hopes, and dreams. And what is so great about the movie is that it moves you, it gives you hopes. Even at that situation, Andy still can see his bright future.
Let’s see the world around us. Most people in this world don’t want to be unhappy but the truth is many people are unhappy. Lots of people wish, pray and above all hope for that magic can be happy. Actually they are busy dying. They don’t know how to be happy, but happy things are happening every minute they just don’t notice them. They always complain that how hard their live is. They are getting used to just notice the unsatisfied things. What a pity for them. They are supposed to open their mind and find the meaning of their life.
Never lose your hopes.
