In the end, the answer given by netizens has the highest recognition rate: The Shawshank Redemption.
Since 1994, this film directed by Frank De La Trey has been ranked first in the world's classic movies for 26 years. Even now, it still occupies the first place in Douban's list of high-quality movies as a king.
After the film was released, some people commented on "The Shawshank Redemption": It is a work that can shock ordinary people, impress great men, admire those who hope, and regenerate those who are desperate. But after all these years, what is the truth of The Shawshank Redemption?
1. The saddest thing about people is not wasting time and life, but the courage to break through the cage.
In the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", everyone's life scene is confined to the prison, and it must be regulated. They get up regularly every day, exercise outdoors, eat, sleep and even queue up to urinate.
The contradiction between prisoners and prisoners, prisoners and prison guards is irreconcilable. Even if Andy, the protagonist, doesn't want to make trouble, he is inevitably influenced by the struggle between prisoners here.
But it is hard to imagine that in such a chaotic environment, there are still people who are reluctant to part with this prison. He's Andy's cellmate, Bruce. On the day before he was released from prison, Lao Bu hijacked the prisoner to make trouble and tried to stay in prison to serve his sentence.
Nevertheless, he was released and imprisoned for decades. After he got out of prison, Lao Bu was shocked to see the changes outside. He can't talk very well, can't ride a car, and even works very slowly. After he got out of prison, he woke up in a nightmare every night. Finally, Lao Bu chose to bow to life and hang himself at home.
When the news reached the prison, many people laughed at what Bob did, but Rhett said that this is life: at first, you hated the high walls around you and wanted to escape from this place at once, but after staying for a long time, you felt that you could not leave here. This is the power of the system.
What Rhett wants to say is that it is not terrible to be imprisoned. Terrible is that in the long-term imprisonment, even his soul lost the courage to step out of the high wall. This sentence not only implies the helplessness of prison life, but also makes many ordinary people think deeply, because now our life is the same. When we go to work, get off work, find a job and want to leave the company, we are just prisoners within the system.
No matter who it is, the key to success is "long-term doctrine"
Why do you say that? Andy, the protagonist, had already planned to escape from prison when he first went to prison. At that time, he only had a hammer less than 6 inches in his hand. Rhett saw it and sarcastically said, if we dig a tunnel with this hammer, it will take about 600 years to get out.
Andy didn't take that long. It took him 16 years to scatter the dirt and stones dug out of his trouser legs outdoors every day, and he had to endure the ridicule and beatings of his prisoners.
The most shocking thing at the end is the picture of the prison guard opening the poster. It took a long tunnel 16 years to escape from heaven, and Andy was relieved for a long time.
A similar situation happened when Andy ran the library. Andy applied to the other party once a week when he was told that there was no library in the prison and the state government would not allocate funds for this project. Six years later, his application was approved, and Andy was excited to get 200 dollars and a bundle of old books. He said, "Look, it only took me six years to have a library."
After that, Andy applied for books at a regular frequency every two weeks, and finally got a monthly grant of $500. He also helped prisoners build the first library in American prison history.
That's what long-term doctrine is. Once you persist for a long time, a seemingly insignificant and unremarkable thing will always produce incredible results. For example, Stephen King, the novelist of The Shawshank Redemption, only writes in the morning every day and doesn't work the rest of the time. Later, some people wondered why he could write so many classic works. Steven replied: Don't you see that I write very little every day, but I have been writing for decades.
3. The key to breaking the game lies in mastering skills.
At the end of the movie, let's sum up why Andy can escape from prison. First of all, he mastered scarce skills. Being familiar with the Bible, Andy recited the contents of the Bible when the warden was about to discover the cave under the poster, which aroused the interest of the other party. Later, because he was good at banking and helped prison guards evade taxes, he got the right to work in the library and drink beer with friends on the roof.
Andy is relatively free in prison because he knows how to write off accounts reasonably. In addition, he is an excellent geologist and meteorologist, which makes him know how to dig tunnels and how to use weather factors to cover up the sound of knocking on sewers. Finally, he escaped.
This also tells us that sometimes solving seemingly impossible problems depends not on how you do it, but on what you are good at. Every professional skill is a tool. When your life toolbox is full of tools, there is no room that you can't get into. This is the benefit of skills.
Sharast once said that everyone has the right to dream, but when your ability can't realize your ideal, hide in the cave and practice your magic.
I personally want to say that Andy's success is not accidental, but inevitable. When you encounter an impossible problem, you might as well break it down into small things. When you have done enough of these little things, you will find that the problem that makes you desperate has been solved.
