肖生克的救贖英文觀后感一：
Can Hollywood, usually creating things for entertainment purposes only, create art? To create something of this nature, a director must approach it in a most meticulous manner, due to the delicacy of the process. Such a daunting task requires an extremely capable artist with an undeniable managerial capacity and an acutely developed awareness of each element of art in their films, the most prominent; music, visuals, script, and acting. These elements, each equally important, must succeed independently, yet still form a harmonious union, because this mixture determines the fate of the artist\'s opus. Though already well known amongst his colleagues for his notable skills at writing and directing, Frank Darabont emerges with his feature film directorial debut, The Shawshank Redemption. Proving himself already a master of the craft, Darabont managed to create one of the most recognizable independent releases in the history of Hollywood. The Shawshank Redemption defines a genre, defies the odds, compels the emotions, and brings an era of artistically influential films back to Hollywood.
The story begins with the trial of a young banker, Andy Dufrense, victimized by circumstantial evidence, resulting in a conviction for the murder of his wife and her lover. After a quick conviction, Andy finds himself serving a life sentence at Shawshank prison, with no hope of parole. He exists in this prison only in appearance, keeping his mind free from the drab walls around him. His ability to do this results in the gaining of respect from his fellow inmates, but most of all from Ellis Redding. Ellis, commonly referred to as Red, finds gainful use of his entrepreneurial spirit within the drab walls of Shawshank by dealing in contraband and commodities rare to the confines of prison. Andy\'s demeanor and undeniable sense of hope causes Red to take a deeper look at himself, and the world around him. Andy proves to Red and the other inmates that in the conventional walls of Shawshank prison convention will find no home in his lifestyle.
By creating the film\'s firm foundation, the meticulously chiseled screenplay paved the way for this film\'s success. Frank Darabont outdoes himself with the phenomenal adaptation of Stephen King\'s equally noteworthy novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. In this novella, King demonstrates that he can break free from the genre he dominates and still create a marvelous piece of modern literature. Though the film mirrors the novella in many ways, Darabont illustrates a focused objective of improving upon the areas where the novella came up short, resulting in one of the best book to film transitions ever.
While maintaining some of the poetic and moving dialogue of the novella, Darabont also proves that a film\'s score can generate a great deal of emotional response from its audience, as dialogue does. He employs the cunning Thomas Newman, son of the legendary Hollywood composer, Alfred Newman. Darabont shows recognition for the film\'s needs by employing Newman, who makes the gentle piano chords whisper softly to the viewer, as if a part of the scripted dialogue. Newman lends himself to individualism and tends to drive more towards the unique in the realm of score composition. His effort in Shawshank did not go unnoticed, as his score received an Oscar nomination in 1995. While unique and independent, Newman\'s score never once intrudes on your concentration or distracts from the film.
With work from vast array of talented scene designers, costume designers, composers, cinematographers, and various other Hollywood artists, the cast of The Shawshank Redemption had a strong foundation to work with. The marvelous cast of this film will dazzle you with some of the most convincing performances you will witness in a film. While both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman shine as Andy and Red, respectively, the true spectacle of acting lies within the plethora of amazing supporting actors who easily disappear into their roles. Most noticeable of these, the veteran film star James Whitmore, who portrays the elderly Brooks Hatlen. Brooks, a man incarcerated for an unmentioned crime for so long that he finds himself attached to the Shawshank and the daily life he has lead. Each of these actors show a true dedication to their art, and a focused purpose in their motivations, creating a convincing setting that never once caters to anything unbelievable.
With all of the aesthetic touches and attention to cinematic detail, the most beautiful part of the film lies within its thematic material, such as its focus on the human desires for the most abstract concepts, like hope and freedom. These themes, which concern things the human spirit undoubtedly yearns for, seem so intricately woven into the plot that it easily draws its audience in to its story. Though full of hardened criminals, your heart will go out to these men as they display the most basic of human emotions, and deliver some of the most quotable lines in a film to date. Like a great novel, this film manages to succeed at greater things than simply entertaining an audience. Darabont tells his story most masterfully, illustrating principles and inspiring his audience to think. He leaves us a poignant film with a powerful message of hope, and redemption, something we all seek.
This film manages to redeem Hollywood in the eyes of people who feared it long lost in a dark sea of clichés and predictability. Darabont shows us that artists still work in the Hollywood studios and production facilities. These artists show their capability to produce art; real art that inspires you to look at the deeper aspects of life and the world around you. The Shawshank Redemption delivers much-needed breath of fresh air for anyone who realizes the capability of film. It proves that masters of the craft still live on this earth, and still bless us with timeless masterpieces that we will never forget.
肖生克的救贖英文觀后感二：
Hope is the whole theme of the movie.
Before Andy went into the Shaw shank, the topic here is nothing but metamorphosis, fighting or killing time. Confusion, dirty, fear, despair gathered together to create a harsh environment. The prisoners have no human rights at all. They are free to sell the warden their cheap labor. After Andy’ coming, although this unwilling banker can not change the oppression and abuse of prisoners, he at least brought hope, a breath of life, even liberty. This hope is different from the verbal warden said, "I am the light of the world. I would not have you follow the dark" because he is a downright "false Christ" by the name of Christ. He is just a matter of the devils trip. His brutal disposition is to let the prisoners succumbed to "discipline and the Bible", and even "Want you to eat you eat, want you to pee you pee ". Everyone in Shaw shank is institutionalized, resulting in the death of the Brooks, leading to Red’s still having no rights and intendance to bring the" instructions "of the brand, losing hope that his life will not always be like a normal person. The warden is precisely to completely obliterate the hope of Shaw shank prisoners for the future.
“The Shaw shank Redemption” is successful and impressing in the territory of moralizing audiences. All virtuous quality of every role make us happy from the bottom of our hearts., Moreover, the background music in company with the plot also delight us at the same time. To sum up, it is not only a movie, but also a flawless display directing us to freedom and goodness.
It is the first time that I have watched “The Shaw shank Redemption”, which is said to be one of the most meaningful movies in the world. At the beginning of the movie, I felt embarrassed about the sexual scene. Then, with the plot developing, I found that this is a movie almost all actors of which are female. However, it is still full of warmth and touch. I indulged in it at once.
I am moved by Andy’s willing self-punishment. He knew he is innocent, but he was actually sorry for that he dismissed his wife and didn’t give her enough love and care, which led to her death indirectly. Therefore, he undertook the seventeen-year experience in jail without any complaints. It is a behavior out of redemption, which is magnanimous in fact.
At the same time, the negative roles also impress me a lot. The warden is so greedy and vicious that he compels Andy to assist him in wealth accumulation and tax evasion, otherwise Andy would be violated by a bunch of gays. And the guard was extremely selfish and cruel. He can punish any prisoner in any way at any time without a guilty conscience. The most common punishment is brawl. There’ no need worrying about taking responsibility of the prisoners’ death. For another thing, prisoners do not dare and have no access to sue them/ For another, they can make up the causes of their death to cover the truth. The prisoners’ lives are actually in their hand. To some extent, they are like some governors.
Why does it impress me a lot? Firstly, it is institutionalizing which wrecks humanity. In the prison, no doubt that Red lives a relatively easy life, and also, he is very wise. He can meet anyone’s needs. He knows the nature of the life in the prison clearly. He said to Andy, “Hope is dangerous”, which is intellectual man’s tongue. In real life, people will say, "Red is very seasoned" and so on. But, as these so-called "wise men", Red had never thought of fighting, let alone influencing or changing others. He just conforms to the rules in order to protect himself. He doesn’t change until Andy’s appearance, which eventually leads him to the freedom.
Brooks, of course, the librarians, is another most shocking role. His whole life is a profound reflection of the "institutionalized" servants life. Brooks spent a lifetime in the prison. After he was finally released on parole, got free, and left the familiar surroundings, familiar people, he felt loss of his value, and he can not find his place. He had the freedom of the body but in fact, his soul had been strangled. The world belonging to him has been compressed to a minimum. Eventually he can only choose to end his life. Why should arrange such a role as Brooks? I think the director is trying to tell us, if Andy doesn’t appear, the vast majority of prisoners, including Red, can be Brookes in the near future. Isn’t Brooks like too many people in real life?
Andy imparted other prisoners some useful knowledge, which created a positive atmosphere. That went a long way in their redemption. That is to say, Andy’s atonement had a great impact on others and made them feel regretful sincerely. Just as Red put it, It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another. Andy is great.
