　　肖申克的救赎影评英文

　　I think this movie is very meaningful. I like it very much. You must think so too. You must all have a lot to say. But according to what we have appointed, Im the Chair, so please let me show you my opinion first.

　　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.

　　As far as Im concerned, this movie shows us three things: freedom, friendship, and hope. If we take a movie as a novel, then Shawshank Redemption is a great novel without doubt. It reflects the real social life, and creates several typical characters with Classic Quotes and a few kinds of modifications. This movie organizes the main scenario of the story in a simple way and at the same time using some petty lines. It expresses the subject in a very artistic way.

　　There were three words, the first is freedom. However, what impressed me is nearly everyone in the prison got accustomed to the prison life. Whats more, an old man even suicide after he was set free. I have a very deep feeling of friendship. The second word accrued to me is friendship. Friendship is a necessary in our life. In this movie, the friendship between Andy and Red moved me. It gave me an idea: getting a real friendship is more important than money and power. Friendship is really important, and in my opinion, it is very hard to get a real friendship. When we dont have a real friend, we will feel very lonely. I may have this feeling during these days. That is really incredibly hard.

　　Also there are some sentences in the movie that really impressed me. The sentence I like most is hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. Because I think, it encourages people appreciate the beauty of life, to keep their hope in heart forever. It was as if some beautiful birds 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. From this sentence, I start to know that, in fact, something cannot be noticed at all. That is like the freedom of our heart. We need it, just like you have never forgotten it.

　　Another one is: Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself. A great man can save another. I like this sentence because it teaches me to let me full of courage and hopes. It urges me to have the determination to succeed.

　　In the end, I want to use a sentence to summarize this movie: Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
