《肖申克的救赎》是我最喜欢的美国电影之一，这是我第三次重温这部经典的美国电影了。Andy在被误判投入监狱无期徒刑的绝望中，永不言弃，最终用了19年的行动成功越狱，重获自由。他在影片里救赎了自己的灵魂和肉体，也救赎了帮助过他的如Red一样的那些狱友。这是一部讲述绝境，希望，坚持，友情，信念的影片。
第一遍，第二遍观看这个影片，也许只是因为它的经典，它的情节，它的感人。然而第三次重温，更深的理解了很多曾经看起来有些虚无缥缈的话语，关于生命和救赎，关于希望和信念。
有三个关于救赎的情节让我印象深刻，第一个是他帮助狱警Hadley逃税，为狱友赢得每人3瓶啤酒的奖励。“We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders, and felt like free men. We could'a been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lords of all Creation.”...“You could argue he'd done it to curry favor with the guards. Or maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feel normal again...if only for a short while.”这时，你看到了Andy第一次露出笑容。自由总是最可贵的，同时也代表一种自我价值的实现。当Andy的狱友给他拿过来一瓶赢来的啤酒，Andy只说了句，谢谢，我戒酒了。他在屋顶的阳光里坐着微笑的看着狱友们享受他为他们赢回来的啤酒，而他想享受的只是片刻的自由。
第二个是片中最为精彩的一部分，他在狱警办公室放“费加罗的婚礼”（Le Nozze de Figaro）。这个片段看似平静如水，却让人热泪盈眶。“I have no idea to this day what them two Italian ladies were singin' about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid.I like to think they were singin' about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words,and makes your heart ache because of it.”...“I tell you, those voices soared. Higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away...and for the briefest of moments -- every last man at Shawshank felt free.”这次，Andy的微笑是一种带着胜利感的微笑。他利用自己在狱警中的价值以及得到的信任，再次给他的朋友们，带来自由的感觉，哪怕是一刹那。“There are things in this world not carved out of gray stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.” 那种任何围墙都围不住，任何人都夺不走的东西叫做希望。
第三个，他为监狱建立了一个新的图书馆。为了得到第一批书，他每周一封信，连续写了六年。然后他增加到每周两封，在Andy入狱的第二个十年间，图书馆落成。这也是一个划时代的胜利，这个胜利的影响是深远的。无论书籍还是音乐，都是对心灵最好的抚慰和救赎。
其实我们每一个人都活在一所无形的监狱里，拥有各种各样的不满和痛苦，不知不觉被体制化。永怀希望，救赎就在你我心中。
附上《肖申克的救赎》经典语录
1.Red: Let me tell you something my friend: Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. 瑞德：听我说，朋友，希望是件危险的事。希望能叫人发疯。 2.Red narrating: These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate em, then you get used to em. Enough time passes, so you depend on them. 瑞德话外音：这些高墙还真是有点意思。一开始你恨它，然后你对它就习惯了。等相当的时间过去后，你还会依赖它。 3.Red narrating: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are better left unsaid.I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful,it can't be expressed in words,and it makes your heart ache because of it.I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free. 瑞德话外音：到今天我还不知道那两个意大利娘们在唱些什么，其实，我也不想知道。有些东西还是留着不说为妙。我想她们该是在唱一些非常美妙动人的故事，美妙得难以用言语来表达，美妙的让你心痛。告诉你吧，这些声音直插云霄，飞得比任何一个人敢想的梦还要遥远。就像一些美丽的鸟儿扑扇着翅膀来到我们褐色牢笼，让那些墙壁消失得无影无踪。就在那一刹那，鲨堡监狱的每一个人都感到了自由。 4.（On playing opera records in the prison） Andy Dufresne: Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don‘t forget. Forget that there are places in the world that aren’t made out of stone. That there’s a---there’s a---there’s something inside that’s yours, that they can’t touch. (在监狱里放歌剧唱片) 安迪.杜德兰:这就是意义所在。你需要它，就好像自己不要忘记。忘记世上还有不是用石头围起来的地方。忘记自己的内心还有你自己的东西，他们碰不到的东西。 5.Andy Dufresne: That’s the beauty of music. They can’t take that away from you. 安迪.杜德兰：这就是音乐的美丽。他们无法把这种美丽从你那里夺去。 6.Red reading a note left by Andy: Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies. 瑞德读安迪留下的条子：记住，瑞德，希望是件美丽的东西，也许是最好的东西。美好的东西是永远不会死的。 7.Red narrating: We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like freemen. we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy—-he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face.watching us drink his beer. 瑞德话外音：我们坐在太阳下，感觉就像自由人。见鬼，我好像就是在修自己家的房顶。我们是创造的主人。而安迪——他在这间歇中蹲在绿荫下，一丝奇特的微笑挂在脸上，看着我们喝他的啤酒。 8.Red narrating: You could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards. Or, maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feel normal again, if only for a short while. 瑞德话外音：你会说他做这些是为了讨好看守。或者也许是为了同我们搞好关系。而我则认为他只是为了再度体验一下正常人的感觉，哪怕只是为了短短的片刻。 9.Red narrating: I have to remind myself that some birds don’t mean to be caged . Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up. DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend. 瑞德话外音：我得经常同自己说，有些鸟儿是关不住的。他们的羽毛太鲜亮了。当它们飞走的时候，你心底里知道把他们关起来是一种罪恶，你会因此而振奋。不过，他们一走,你住的地方也就更加灰暗空虚。我觉得我真是怀念我的朋友。 10.Red narraing: I hope I can make it across the border, I hope the Pacific is as blue as I dreamed it is; I hope to see my friend again, and shake his hand; I hope. 瑞德话外音：我希望我能越过边境，我希望太平洋同我梦想的一样蔚蓝，我希望再见我的朋友，同他握手，我希望。 11.Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. 恐惧让你沦为囚犯。希望让你重获自由。 12.It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another. 坚强的人只能救赎自己，伟大的人才能拯救他人。 13. I guess it comes down to a simple choice:get busy living or get busy dying. 生命可以归结为一种简单的选择：要么忙于生存，要么赶着去死。
