2、ol of Foreign Languages December 20, 2011 哈爾濱商業(yè)大學(xué)畢業(yè)論文 Hope and Freedom - On the Theme of Shawshank RedemptionThe story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable. When some people heard the name of the film first time, most of them considered the Shawshank to be a man name, but i

3、n fact it is a jails name - 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 surviv

4、e. Thats where the story happened.“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” When Andy Dufresne puts it in such a quiet way, my heart ache because of it. Have you ever felt that way about hope? Hope is the only thing in the wild world not carved out of gray stone.

5、 Hope is a small place inside of us anyone can never lock away. That is what Ive learnt from an excellent movie The Shawshank Redemption. The story begins in 1947, when Andy Dufresne, a city banker, is wrongfully convicted of his wife and her lover. He is sent to Shawshank prison and receives a doub

6、le life sentence for the crime. In shawshank, Andy forms an extraordinary friendship with Red, a man who knows how to get things from the outside. Andy gets a 5 inches long rockhammer and a huge poster from Red, by which he secretly puts his pipedream into practice. After 20 years digging, Andy tunn

7、els through the prison wall. Then he crawls 500 yards through the sewer and gets out into a ditch near the field beyond the ground of Shawshank, with no equipment, no one knows. On the first viewing, its the story of Andy and his struggle to maintain hope despite his circumstances. However, this is

8、really a movie about Red and his struggle to find meaning and purpose. It seems that we are more or less similar with Red, because weve got used to the gray walls around us, which stand for routine, and then more routine. If one day, these walls dessolve away, well be afraid instead of free. Were af

9、raid of not being ruled? That sounds ridiculous, but we actually are! Fortunately, when Red is faced with the same situation as we are, because of Andy, he can find a different paththe path of freedom that is lit by hope. Sometimes, we feel many things have let us down and dont hope for the good any

10、more. But I have to say, suffering is not always a bad thing. Suffering produces perseverance, character, and character, hope. If we can see hope through all the hardship, nothings gonna stop us marching towards victory! “Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free.” this is a sentence written

11、 on the poster of the movie The Shawshank Redemption. Its a movie about freedom, friendship and hope. And the aspect that shakes me a lot is “freedom”. What is freedom? Its a carefree and content breath under the sun. To us, it just like air, so ordinary that you cant imagine what it will be when yo

12、u lose it. But to those prisoners, especially those who would live there all their lives, its a precious happiness out of reach. Andy finally got rid of Shawshank, what made his redemption come true? Maybe his aspiration after freedom, his believing of hope! What is freedom? Its that blue sky above

13、the prisoners in the wall; its Andys pure blue eyes where hope revealed; its the vision that the prisoners sitting on the roof drinking beers; its the little jack that Norton fed flew out of the window; its “Le Nozze de Figaro” flying over the roof of heaven in the prison; its the arms Andy stretch

14、out in the lightning day; its the ocean the heaven the cockleboat Freedom isnt always a good thing especially when it comes to Brooks who was discharged from prison and committed suicide in his room. “Brooks was here”- it turned me to a deep think, its not a death of a person but a death of individu

15、ality and mentality “These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, and then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.” When freedom comes so suddenly, it may lose its glary and even become a murderer. Because if there is no sup

16、port from life, no meanings of survive, then freedom will become an even bigger prison to you. Freedom can linger on in a steadily worsening condition relying on compromise, but can be gained by compromise. Freedom may be glary, but darkness is its premise. Andy got his freedom through a 500 yard ce

17、sspool, although its rough and humiliated, it had the support of faith then showed the luster that it should have. The movie gives me a invisible strength, it let me know what the most precious things in a persons life. When we face frustration, embarrassment and defeat, shall we be depressed or str

18、uggle, persist in or give up, cease all activities or try our best, The Shawshank Redemption give us a clear answer. Life is what? Get busy living or get busy dying. Hope is the chief happiness the world affords. Hope encourages people to keep fighting for dreams, freedom and dignity. Hope helps people to appreciate the beauty of life. “He once is born, that is die.” Everyone is t
