Chapter 276 Andy, Wrongfully Accused!
Although the protagonist is imprisoned and helps the warden launder money, he is not stupid. He is exceptionally intelligent and can protect himself while assisting the warden, demonstrating extraordinary shrewdness.
He exploited loopholes in the rules to achieve numerous goals, appearing upright on the outside while skillfully maneuvering through fraud on the inside.
This stark contrast impressed director Shen Qing, who was deeply impressed by Shen Qing's wisdom and adaptability.
"In fact, Andy was only involved in money laundering, not in any heinous acts."
"Perhaps it's somewhat self-justifying."
"The environment shapes the way of survival."
"It is not easy to remain innocent in this filthy place."
The movie has reached the 90-minute mark. If there are no ups and downs, it wouldn't be in line with Shen Qing's style. A turning point is about to arrive.
The arrival of a young prisoner at Shawshank Prison sets the stage for a dramatic climax!
Tommy, a vibrant young man, is arrested and imprisoned in Shawshank for illegally occupying someone else's apartment and theft.
He sported an Elvis-style haircut, loved rock and roll, and was completely out of place in the dull prison, often describing the older prisoners as solidified syrup, lacking vitality.
However, this influx of new blood was well-received by the veteran prisoners.
During lunch, Tommy happily shared his prison experience in a humorous and witty manner, eliciting laughter from everyone.
He was talkative and innocent, and had made a series of minor mistakes since he was thirteen years old, moving from prison to prison in various places, leaving his footprints in almost all the well-known prisons in the country.
Andy observed Tommy's words and actions and believed that Tommy had unlimited potential but had gone astray. He thought that if someone guided him, he could become a pillar of society.
At first, Tommy didn't take Andy's encouragement seriously, until one morning, he was moved by Andy's words and went to the library to seek him out.
"I want to get a high school diploma. I've heard you can do anything."
"But I am almost illiterate."
Andy readily accepted the challenge, determined to save the young man.
Do you truly want to change?
"Study requires our full effort; we must never give up halfway."
In Shawshank, Andy seems omnipotent, able to solve any problem, and is the hope in everyone's hearts.
From then on, Tommy became Andy's student, learning from basic grammar and building his language system.
The process was arduous and required perseverance, but fortunately Tommy was exceptionally gifted and gradually began to enjoy learning.
During their exam preparation, the two became teacher and student as well as close friends. Andy rediscovered the joy of knowledge and used Tommy as a medium to combat the boredom of prison.
Tommy's progress made Andy's life more fulfilling, gave him clear goals, and helped him obtain his high school diploma.
However, the road is not smooth.
Tommy planned to take the exam in 1966. Andy prepared the test questions, but Tommy, who was new to the exam, finished answering them and his confidence collapsed.
His poor grades made him consider giving up, believing that a high school diploma was out of reach and that his many days of hard work had been in vain.
Enraged, Tommy tore up the exam paper, spoke rudely to Andy, and thought it was all in vain.
Anger needs time to cool down. After calming down, Tommy was filled with remorse, realizing he shouldn't have offended Andy, but he still longed for a diploma.
Seeking forgiveness, he turned to Andy's close friend, veteran Red.
Upon hearing this, Reed smiled calmly: "Andy won't be angry about this, I know him."
When talking about Andy in private, Red revealed his melancholy, wondering why the talented Andy was trapped in this situation.
In a moment of deep emotion, Red tells Tommy about Andy's past.
"He was exceptionally intelligent and an outstanding banker."
During Red's thirty years of imprisonment, Andy was the only person he admired.
Why are you imprisoned?
Tommy couldn't understand why someone like Andy had become a prisoner.
There was no need to shy away from this matter; Reid stated bluntly, "Murder."
Tommy didn't believe it and couldn't accept that Andy was the murderer, scoffing, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Appearances can be deceiving; he committed this tragedy in a fit of rage because his wife was having an affair with a golf coach."
Tommy was shocked, incredulous, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Reed noticed something was wrong and asked what was going on.
By a twist of fate, Tommy recalls his experience in Thomas' Prison four years prior and urgently summons Andy to recount the past. Tommy narrates that tragic story in the first person.
At that time, he was imprisoned for theft and his sentence was about to be served. His cellmate, Blatche, was also imprisoned. Blatche was burly, neurotic, and often made strange laughs, which made people avoid him.
Brach, who was sentenced to six to twelve years for armed robbery, often talked to himself and boasted about his past crimes.
One day, Brach recounted his murder to Tommy: he sneaked into a club late at night, was jealous of the rich, targeted a woman, followed her home, and when he was about to kill her, he encountered her and her lover. In a fit of rage, he killed them both.
The woman was the wife of a banker who had an affair with a professional golfer, and the banker unfortunately became the scapegoat.
Brach laughs uncontrollably whenever the matter is mentioned.
Andy and Red listened in silence; the story was utterly absurd.
Andy felt as if his heart was being torn apart, like a lone boat adrift, losing all direction and control.
The audience was also shocked; the usually calm Andy lost control of his emotions.
The audience whispered, questioning the director's methods and lamenting Andy's injustice, which lasted for more than ten years.
"The director's camera language is misleading, the reversal is amazing, and Andy was indeed wronged."
"How cruel, more than ten years of time wasted."
"An unbearable weight."
How did Andy cope with the devastation of learning the truth?
Andy desperately seeks out the warden to uncover the truth and yearn for freedom.
However, his path to freedom was cut off the moment he began assisting the warden in laundering money.
The warden would not allow Andy to leave prison, so he secretly exposed the risks and left no hidden dangers.
From God's perspective, Andy's actions were ill-considered, but in the heat of the moment, it's hard to be rational.
The story is filled with even more despair.
During the negotiations, Andy inadvertently angered the warden and was severely punished, receiving a month of solitary confinement, an unprecedented punishment.
The light of hope was extinguished. The small cell, or dark room, where prisoners were alone in a dark space, damaged their minds and drove them to the brink of madness.
The atmosphere in the theater was oppressive, the plot took a sudden turn, and the audience felt a tightness in their chests.
Despair stems from hope; so close, yet slipping through one's fingers.
Andy was just one step away from freedom, but he fell short at the last hurdle.
The theater was quiet, everyone watching intently, anticipating the ending.
"I knew the protagonist wasn't lying."
"The warden should be punished!"
"Extreme hypocrisy."
"Extremely indignant."
Shen Qing delivered another heavy blow, pushing the audience's resentment towards the warden to its peak.
Andy was wrongfully imprisoned for nineteen years. During this time, Tommy earned his high school diploma with a C+ grade. Andy's yearning for freedom drove him forward.
To eliminate any future trouble, the warden plotted to kill Tommy.
Tommy, who knows the truth, threatens the warden that if he survives, he will help Andy clear his name, so he is doomed to die.
The warden, who considered himself a saint, acted despicably.
Tommy, outside the wall, was mistaken for an escapee by the prison guards and shot dead. The incident not only struck Tommy but also deeply saddened the audience.
The plot is tragic, and the audience finds it unbearable.
The dark side of human nature is vividly displayed.
After nineteen years in prison, Andy lost control for the first time, and instead of opening a window for God, he was dealt a heavy blow.
The warden was determined not to let Andy escape.
When news of Tommy's death reached him, Andy learned of it during his confinement period.
Even after his confinement ends, Andy still has to help the warden launder money.
If we disobey orders, we risk being assaulted by homosexuals, the library will be destroyed, and everything will be reduced to nothing.
Hell on earth, demons among us! (End of Chapter)
