The audience's anger erupted like a volcano, wishing they could jump out of the screen and tear that hypocritical warden to pieces with their own hands.
After two months of confinement, Andy returned to the world, exhausted both physically and mentally, on the verge of collapse.
Even more heartbreaking is that after his solitary confinement ended, he still had to continue assisting the warden in laundering money, and the endless torment never stopped.
No one could easily bear such a misfortune.
Red hesitated, finding words of comfort inadequate in the face of his friend's suffering.
For the past two months, Andy has been sinking into a deep abyss of self-examination and doubt, feeling lost about his future and even beginning to question his own innocence.
Is this fate's arrangement?
Perhaps, he himself was the culprit who caused his wife's tragedy.
Red was speechless, knowing full well that Andy was not the murderer, but merely a bad husband, and did not deserve such punishment.
Upright people often blame themselves and are unwilling to shift all the blame onto others.
The audience who witnessed this scene were all heartbroken.
Andy, who firmly believes in himself, has fallen into the quagmire of fatalism.
The immense pain caused him to lose his way, questioning the consequences of his past life's actions, which he was now forced to pay for.
Andy's life was like a tornado that swept through the land and continues to rage to this day.
The two down-on-their-luck men sat side by side; Red had no hope of parole, while Andy seemed to be imprisoned forever.
For the first time, Andy burst into tears as he poured out his dreams to his best friend.
"Let me tell you about the place I long for."
"Zihuatania, a small town on the Pacific coast of Mexico."
How do Mexicans describe the Pacific Ocean?
"It is a forgotten ocean."
“I will spend the rest of my life there. The sea breeze is gentle. I plan to run a small hotel and buy an old boat, refurbish it, and take passengers out to sea.”
"Of course, sea fishing is indispensable."
"Believe me, even if you are in that place, you can still achieve great things."
What does the future hold?
Viewers also ask themselves: movies are ultimately fictional, but life is incredibly real.
Like Andy, most people are trapped in the shackles of life.
The two sat leaning against the wall, gazing at the sky, and talking about their dreams.
Andy was full of hope, while Red was often pessimistic.
“I can’t do it. I can’t adapt to the outside world. I’ve been trapped in Shawshank my whole life. I’ve been institutionalized, just like Old Brooks.”
Andy constantly reminded Red not to forget hope.
You underestimate yourself.
"I disagree. Here, I'll help you solve your problems. But society is complex, and I'm helpless. The Pacific Ocean? What a joke, it's vast and boundless, and it terrifies me."
Unlike Red, Andy's tears had dried, his eyes were still moist, and his faith had never wavered.
“I have a clear conscience. I did not kill my wife and mistress. I have made amends for my mistakes. A small inn and a small boat are not excessive desires.”
Reed cautioned, "Don't harbor such illusions; it's pure fantasy. Mexico is worlds apart from here."
“You’re right. Life is a choice between life and death.” Andy said each word slowly and deliberately, as if he had made up his mind.
The audience fell silent; between life and death, there were only two paths.
Life should not be too comfortable, and not everyone is content with mediocrity.
Humans are not pigs; they cannot live a life of ignominy.
Shen Qing presented the audience with a gift through "The Shawshank Redemption," delivering a series of classic lines that drew admiration from viewers.
The conversation continued, and as they parted, Andy said to Red,
"If you are released, please lend me a hand."
"please say."
"Do you know Buxton, it has a big playground?"
The scene changes, and the two are in the same frame. Reid has a bad feeling, and his tone is slightly nervous.
Andy began to speak slowly.
"That playground was vast and boundless, but there was one spot that was different from others."
"There is a long stone wall, with an oak tree at the north end, as beautiful as a poem by Foster."
"I proposed to her here, we had a picnic under the oak tree, and we kissed. I opened my lips, and she said yes."
“Promise me, Red, if you are paroled, go to that place. There is a stone hidden in the corner, black volcanic glass, and beneath it is something for you.”
Reid was stunned.
"What is it? What are you hiding?"
"You'll know once you move it." With that, Andy left.
Red was puzzled, suspecting it was delirium or caused by illness.
After that, Andy's behavior became unusual, prompting his friends to speculate.
No one knows what Andy is thinking.
"Patience has its limits."
Andy's intentions remain a mystery to his friends.
Life resumes, and Andy assists the warden in laundering money day after day. The warden's cruelty ignites Andy's inner rebellion.
If the warden had helped Andy, given his character, he would never have exposed him; on the contrary, he would have been grateful.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
No matter how many times he had to do it all over again, Warden Norton would make the same choice, not allowing any hidden dangers to exist in his life. Andy waited patiently for his opportunity, determined to bring down the warden in one fell swoop.
Life is like the tide, unpredictable and ever-changing. Andy's daily work remains the same: assisting the warden in laundering money and washing dirty clothes.
One day, Andy made up his mind. With the right time, place, and people, he could act without delay.
He showed no sign of anything amiss, but his heart was in turmoil.
After polishing the warden's shoes and putting them on, everything was ready. Under the watchful eyes of the prison guards, he slowly walked into the cell.
This is his last time returning to prison.
He slowed his pace, as if bidding farewell to old friends, the faces of his fellow inmates flashing by.
Andy entered the room and sat quietly waiting.
"Lights out."
At the prison guard's command, the prison was plunged into darkness.
Andy held the rope, thunder roared, and his body trembled slightly.
The thunderstorm presented Andy with a golden opportunity.
Red couldn't sleep; he suffered from habitual insomnia, and every night, time felt like a dull knife cutting into his heart.
Stormy nights are especially long.
The scene shifts to dawn, and the prisoners are assembled, but Red is nowhere to be seen with Andy.
The prison guards counted the number of people on each floor and found that one person was missing from the second floor.
This person was Andy.
"No one is on the second, third, or fifth floor."
The prison guard called out, but there was no sound in the room.
The prison guards were furious, suspecting it was a prank, and wanted to teach the prisoner a lesson.
Upon entering the room, only posters were visible; Andy was nowhere to be found.
A stunning scene!
The camera pans elsewhere, showing the warden receiving dirty shoes instead of new ones, as the alarm sounds and he looks out the window.
As the audience witnessed Andy's disappearance, they gasped in amazement, and some who were deeply immersed in the story couldn't help but curse.
Andy has escaped from prison!
"Incredible!"
How did he escape?
The pent-up emotions are released instantly, resulting in an overwhelming sense of pleasure.
The story begins with a slump, then culminates in a surge of excitement from the audience.
"If the outcome is not good, Director Shen, don't blame me for being impolite."
Andy escapes, the audience forgets their pain, the gloom dissipates, and a huge weight is lifted from their hearts.
"This is brilliant!"
"The dawn has finally broken!"
The mystery is revealed, but the audience is still puzzled as to how Andy escaped.
The story of Shen Qing is rigorous and must have a reasonable explanation.
The prison guards' search yielded no results, and the warden, furious, questioned Red.
The two were inseparable, but no one knew what Andy was thinking.
Red reacted naturally, and Andy did not reveal anything about the prison break.
Andy was here last night, but he's nowhere to be found today.
The warden was furious and vowed to find Andy.
The warden berated Red and Andy, smashed things, and threw stones at them.
A stone accidentally struck the poster, tearing it open and revealing a hole.
The warden stepped forward, unveiled the poster, and was astonished to find a huge tunnel.
The audience was blown away!
The music was rousing, and the audience was filled with excitement as they celebrated Andy's successful prison break.
A historic moment: alarms blared, Shawshank Prison was shaken, and the police launched a full-scale manhunt.
Finally, a drainage pipe was discovered on the riverbank, and the prison guards realized what had happened.
In 1996, Andy escaped Shawshank.
All that remained were muddy prison clothes, soap, and a miniature iron hammer, which was no longer shaped and resembled a small piece of iron.
The photo of the three items made headlines.
Reid once boasted that it would take at least six hundred years for this hammer to break through the tunnel.
Facts speak louder than words: Andy achieved a prison break legend in just twenty years.
Rewind to twenty years ago, and the erudite Andy was full of curiosity about the world.
Passionate about geology, he was new to hammering and wanted to carve his name on a stone wall.
To everyone's surprise, Shawshank appeared solid on the surface, but its walls were actually soft.
After studying it, Andy became convinced that the wall could be broken through.
It takes time and patience to achieve.
As Red said, prison life is boring and we need to do something.
Andy secretly planned to hide dirt in his trouser legs every day and discard it the next day when he went for a walk.
Day after day, year after year, with an iron will, Andy finally succeeded in escaping from prison. (End of Chapter)
