Why can The Shawshank Redemption occupy the first place in film history for a long time?

First, let's talk about the box office. The shooting cost of Sean Xiao is $25 million, which is also a big investment in 1994. In the end, he only got about 28 million box office. There is no doubt that if the cinema is not included, there will be huge losses. Why do you lose money? Maybe it has something to do with the name. The English name of this film is "The Shawshank Redemption", which is awkward and difficult to read, so there is a funny Chinese translation of "Stimulus 1995" or "The moon is dark and windy". In fact, this name is good and appropriate.

Secondly, the Oscar said no, and now it seems that the film with such a good reputation traveled to the Oscars on 1994 and lost to Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. However, it is also possible to formalize this empathy, which makes many netizens get high marks on IMDB. In fact, the reason why The Shawshank Redemption ranked first in film history is thanks to Nolan's powerful fans. As it turns out, the godfather has always occupied the championship throne. However, since Nolan's The Dark Knight was released, enthusiastic fans have given the godfather a lot of low marks on IMDB to see if this scene is familiar. Fans all over the world are very enthusiastic and everyone can see it.

Then, the adaptation of the film by the original author is also crucial. As we all know, The Shawshank Redemption is adapted from Stephen King's novella rita hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption. Who is this rita hayworth? Many friends may not know this, but I would like to mention that The Shawshank Redemption shows a black-and-white movie every week. Every time the heroine in it is crazy, the prisoners who watch movies will have an orgasm. Grandma was born in 19 18. Her movie is called Gilda and Slut Gilda, so according to Stephen King's original intention, Hayworth represents a free life outside of Gaucho, while Shawshank is a cage to imprison people. Stephen King was dissatisfied with the changes in the film, for example, the warden was not so outrageous in the novel. In order to intensify contradictions and conflicts, the film was changed, and the warden finally committed suicide, which had a greater impact on the audience. Andy, the protagonist, is not a tall man in the novel, and Bruce, the first old man who was released from prison, did not hang himself, but died of depression. Although hanging is more cruel, it can better reflect the misery of being abandoned by the world. Even Stephen King complained that the hole Andy dug in the movie was too round and out of touch with reality.

The Shawshank Redemption has been ranked first for a long time, which is more or less the reason why it was in the right place at the right time. Let's talk about the right place at the right time. It can also be said to be luck. In 2008, a legendary Batman, the Dark Knight, was born. Its profound connotation and stripping analysis of human nature have completely laid the peak of DC comics and even Batman series. Before that, the hero movies of Marvel Comics were always inferior to DC, and it was this movie that made his fans crazy. In order to make the film score ahead, many fans spontaneously organized to give the godfather, which occupies the top spot, a low score, trying to lower the score of the godfather. Unexpectedly, this caused dissatisfaction among some fans of The Godfather, and the two sides tore each other apart. When mussels compete, the fisherman gains, but the deadlock between the two sides makes The Shawshank Redemption reverse to occupy the top spot, and this position has been firmly locked since then. It can be said that its position will remain firm for a long time to come.

After talking about the right time and place, we are talking about people and peace. There is no denying that the quality of the film The Shawshank Redemption itself is excellent, and the dark hope it conveys is like a pot of good wine. The longer the time, the better. The original name of this film is Stimulation 1995. If it hadn't met a series of classic films such as Forrest Gump under special circumstances at that time, it should have no problem winning the prize. Unfortunately, after the Vietnam War, anti-war sentiment was high, and it was inevitable that a main melody film that could perfectly present the American spirit would win the prize. The failure of the Oscar and the unsatisfactory box office both added extra sympathy points to the film. Let later fans calm down and appreciate him.

It is irresponsible to say that everyone who likes this film has seen it at least three times. I am no exception. Every time you watch this movie, you will feel different, especially when your life experience becomes richer. There are too many feelings about it, so I will only elaborate two points. That is, in an atmosphere full of darkness, it gives people infinite hope for the future and infinite despair of institutionalization.

First, let's talk about the institutionalization of despair. This representative is Lao Bu. After decades of prison life, he has become accustomed to everything here and is unwilling to leave and contact with the outside world. He once thought he might die of old age here, but what he didn't expect was that it was time to serve his sentence. He doesn't want to leave, and even wants to kill people in prison, just because he doesn't want to leave here. Those who just came in wanted to go out, but when they really wanted to go out, everyone was confused and scared. He has been in prison for too long and is out of date. He has been eliminated by the times.

Isn't it the same in real life? When people reach middle age, they are doing stable jobs and living a stable life in enterprises and institutions. Don't want to see more things, do we think this is ordinary? No, this is institutionalization, this is shackles! We lock ourselves up! Reality is more cruel than ideal. Why do you see many units dead and lifeless? It is precisely because of the environment and self that a Shawshank is created.

After despair, let's talk about hope. There is a kind of bird that can never be caged, because every wing of it is covered with the glory of freedom. This is Rhett's evaluation of Andy. Andy himself said that hope is a good thing, and good things will never disappear. Yes, in middle age, everyone has experienced daily necessities, soy sauce and vinegar tea. Can they still visit and not forget your initiative, so as to achieve your ultimate goal? Can you still stick to your dream? Therefore, there are few people like Andy, and the beneficiaries have three friends. I hope that each of us can meet someone full of positive energy like Andy, infect us, and let us have the real courage to leave the system, leave the cage and find inner peace.

The film "The Shawshank Redemption" is the first film in Douban at present, and it is also a rare good film in the film history of electronic world. It tells the story of Andy, a young banker, who was held in a prison named Shawshank for being framed for killing his wife and lover. After years of planning, Andy finally escaped from prison and lived a free life. There are many classic sentences in the movie. You know some birds are not meant to be caged. A heavily guarded prison can't stop a heart yearning for freedom. Andy dug an exit in 20 years. Today's article only uses a small hammer, and freedom is always priceless.

The Shawshank Redemption is not only the hero's, but also Andy's own. The Road to Redemption is the epitome of the redemption of power and the desire for freedom. No one in this world is really a good person, but this is the most true story. Since no one is perfect, someone always does something wrong. This is also one of the messages that this film wants to convey. The film tells the audience through the story of Andy, the hero, that even if he is desperate, he should not give up and hope to be free. Yin Pingyong also said that if the heart is a cage, then it is full of cages, and freedom is not outside, but inside. A good movie can always inspire people in the depths of their hearts, and often one sentence can give people the deepest enlightenment, which is also the charm of the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

Redemption, what is redemption? Only by rekindling hope in people's hearts can we be redeemed. With hope, we can have everything. Even in the harsh environment, the protagonist and Andy didn't give up, and their unremitting efforts brought her all kinds of hopes of rebirth. In the movie, even if Andy is beaten by a prison hand, he will sing and drink beer to officially light everyone's star of hope. The protagonist wants to tell his prisoners and tell the audience that no matter what the living environment is,

First of all, the original film is also very famous, which is the work of Stephen King, a master of horror novels. The style of the film is unpretentious and the narrative is eloquent, just like an old man telling a story slowly, unlike the current commercial films, which deliberately attract people's attention. The climax of the story is also in the prison break, and the unexpected ending gives the audience a great impact and aftertaste.

Regarding faith, this film does not overemphasize the role of God, but firmly believes in the ultimate standard of goodness or justice. Based on this, there is eternal hope. Therefore, even though Andy was in prison, he didn't give up himself or give in to the darkness, but remained loyal to his heart. Freedom is the natural result of hope.

Whether you are a teenager or an adult, you have or have had all kinds of dreams or hopes. At the moment when Andy successfully escaped from prison and regained his freedom, he left a touching moment in the hearts of the audience, which led to the sound of * * *!

Perhaps, when you were hit or lost hope, you opened and watched the film more than once.

I don't know why I wrote this answer. I'm not sure. It seems that many things have been answered. I want to say that I was really moved by the description of hope, friendship and redemption in the movie The Shawshank Redemption. This is a film that has a great influence on me. Whenever I feel depressed, I will go to see this movie. I feel good after reading it, and my life has experienced many hardships. I watch this movie again and again, and every time I try my best to find something beautiful in my life. There is no big scene, no special effects, just a group of men talking and living with each other in prison, but the influence on my heart is incomparable to other movies. In my mind, it is the best movie, it touches my heart, and more than once, such a movie that can touch people's hearts and souls is of course the best movie.

Of all things, hope is the most beautiful, and the most beautiful things will never die. This sentence in The Shawshank Redemption probably sums up why The Shawshank Redemption can occupy the first place in IMDB and Douban.

Everyone has always had their own views on the aesthetics of movies, and it is difficult to repeat what they said. The Shawshank Redemption, which can be recognized as the first film, is undoubtedly an epic. Special effects will be outdated, narrative routines can be imitated, and even directors will dig into details. It is possible to create a detailed work, but it is difficult to create a real masterpiece.

The reason lies in whether the spiritual core of the film can move people's hearts and touch human nature, and The Shawshank Redemption has just done this. In another 50 years, the next generation may feel that the special effects are backward when watching Avengers 3, and they will never feel shocked again, but when watching The Shawshank Redemption, they may burst into tears again.

Why do people admire Shawshank so much? Now the evaluation has greatly surpassed Forrest Gump. (Although the scoring gap is not big, the evaluation structure can still see the gap. The five-star ratio of Forrest Gump is much lower than that of Shawshank. First, redemption expressed in movies, or redemption, is the most common and biggest core in movies. Whether fighting against aliens to save the earth or bravely fighting against dragons to save the princess can be said to be saved, but saving Shawshank is people's lost hope in prison.

Andy wrote in a letter to Rhett:

Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and good things never die. Just as Lu Xun said that studying medicine can't save China people, the first thing to save people is hope, not a useless corpse.

Besides, what I like best is the wisdom-raising and anti-wisdom-raising in Shawshank. Everyone in the prison was destroyed physically and mentally, except Andy. Like Lao Bu, he spent half his life in prison and became a member of the jurisdiction. After he got out of prison, he couldn't find the meaning of his existence and finally chose to end it. In fact, when he is integrated into the body and mind, he is already "dead", or he can only live in the body and mind. Does his role represent the future of many people in reality?

The most important thing is that the reflexive method given in the film always gives hope to life and does not give up easily. Andy's experiences in the early stage of the film included confinement, chicken sword and beating, but Andy persisted and never gave in or became a pawn of the system. He didn't sink, because he insisted in his heart. Of course, success is not achieved by shouting.

Andy saved his friends when dealing with the warden in prison. But with a small hammer, we dug an "escape" tunnel, which is the tenacity of human nature. You may not be in prison, but all the places you are trapped are prisons. Are you a prisoner too?

Finally, why didn't Shawshank, 1, the box office was too low. In the early Oscar selection, the box office was still very important. Only more than 20 million Shawshank naturally compete with Forrest Gump. 2. The competition that year was really fierce. It was a big year for Oscar, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and four weddings. 3. Social conditions and public opinion. At that time, people and judges preferred fast-paced movies.

The Shawshank Redemption is a great work, and the reason why a movie can be called great is not only the plot or the special effects of the actors. Must be the meaning behind him.

This movie has too much meaning. The system can regulate your behavior, but it can't imprison your thoughts. When you first went to prison, you hated the high walls around you; Slowly, you get used to living in it; Eventually you will find that you have to rely on it to survive. This is the society in which you live. And his greatness is because it establishes a connection between the story and every ordinary audience. Let everyone who watches movies have their own feelings, and then let the people who watch movies trigger a series of thoughts. This film has influenced too many people, and people have become yearning for freedom and getting better and better.

When I finished watching The Shawshank Redemption, I realized all this. Prison life is definitely not fun, let alone full of hope, and it is even more difficult to find hope in despair. People always say not to fight against fate, but when Andy overcomes fate, we can also say that this victory is only part of fate. The Shawshank Redemption is a classic shot of 1994. The story happened in 1947. It tells the story that Andy, a banker, was sentenced to life imprisonment because his wife had an affair and was accused of shooting her and her lover after being drunk, which means he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank prison. Through the special background of prison, which forces people to lose their freedom, the film shows the individual's fear of the passage of time and the change of environment, and highly emphasizes discipline.

Because it inspires people too much, and there are too many memorable places. We all admire Andy's wisdom and character.

I think it is Andy's indomitable and persistent character that makes the audience yearn for and convince. I unconsciously want to be a person with the same personality as him.

Andy in the film can give people a kind of strength and a belief that persistence is victory.

I think this is also a feature that a movie should have when it is called a classic. It is very suitable to enjoy it every few months or years to replenish energy.

There are many classic movies in film history. There is only one reason why "The Shawshank Redemption" has occupied the first place in the film review list for a long time, that is, the quality has passed. Stories and ideas have reached a perfect combination.

The Shawshank Redemption is based on Stephen King's original novel. The novel itself is very classic and the editing is very powerful. The plots in the novel that are not suitable for the screen should be reduced, deleted and merged. A two-hour movie, the plot is watertight.

Making a good movie and telling a good story are the foundation. The foundation of The Shawshank Redemption is solid. This determines the quality of the film. The story is told, even if it is not done well in other aspects, the film will not be too bad.

The Shawshank Redemption is more exciting than other good movies, because it not only tells a good story, but also has connotation. This makes the film thought-provoking. There are many golden sentences and plots about life, humanity and hope in the film. It not only publicized the story, but also sublimated it.

Such a movie, people who like excitement can see the plot, and people who like thinking can see the connotation. Who wouldn't like it? If you like it, you will naturally get high marks. Winning the first place is nothing.
