In my mind, give me liberty or give me death

肖申克的救赎影评

一位前途似锦的银行副总安迪，由于妻子偷情，便想杀死妻子和她的情人，而恰好那晚，两人死于枪杀，他便成了头号嫌疑犯。他虽然没有杀人但是有杀人动机，由于他的辩护无力和证据不足，他被判无期，接着送入肖申克监狱。作为新人，前两年他受尽折磨，那是咬着牙过日子，打碎的牙往肚子里咽。他主动寻找到一次机会，利用自身的专业知识帮狱警长躲过税收的麻烦。在和老囚犯瑞德的交往中，两人的友谊也日趋牢固。而安迪在监狱中由于给狱警和监狱长带来了利益，由此他也得到了许多自由空间。汤米的到来，使他无意中发现了杀害妻子的凶手，他要求翻案，但是在监狱长的横加干涉下，他的希望被扑灭。当汤米被害，他便下定决心完成越狱这一壮举。在电闪雷鸣之夜，他爬过自己用十九年挖出的隧道，爬过五百码的化粪道，成功的离开了肖申克监狱。随后，他把监狱长的受贿记录交给了记者，腐败者得到了应有的惩罚，而他选择了新生，好友瑞德也在假释后，来到了他的身边。

故事一点也不复杂，相反简单的不能再简单，用一句话概括就是安迪的越狱实录。但是，为什么这么简单的故事反而会产生如此大的效果？我觉得技巧全在影片的编排和人物的设置上。

影片的一开始是交代安迪的“案底”，给大家一个心理暗示，那就是他可能是凶手，也可能不是凶手，使大家能够有兴趣接着往下看。后面便是以瑞德的角度来描述安迪。我觉得这部电影好就好在瑞德这个角色的设定。瑞德作为一位老囚犯，他熟知监狱中的一切，也明白监狱中需要的生存技巧。而以这样一个近似“导师”的人物来描述一个新进的囚犯，在心理上会给观众一种亲切感。这仿佛就是一个故事，而瑞德是讲故事的人，安迪是故事的主角。而这样的安排注定这个故事是带有传奇色彩的。

安迪在狱中最初的生活都是靠瑞德的观察来说明的，接着，影片便制造了安迪遭遇性侵犯的事件，加上新囚犯被狱警活活打死的事件，使每个观众在心理上都开始倾向于同情安迪，这就为影片后续的故事打下了一个基调——安迪以后的所作所为都是在反抗这种体制，都是在争取自由。而这种观众和主角之间的默契类似于“斯得哥尔摩症候群”，这是影片最高明之处。

安迪在此之后便开始有了转机，在屋外劳动中，他利用自己的知识主动接近狱警长，然后帮助他完成遗产的转移。这是得到监狱中最大势力支持的一种最有效途径。瑞德对他的评论是他向往内心的自由。我觉得这是一种比较理想的说法，最真实的说法就是想要生存下去就必须和外在势力做出某种妥协。就如以前网上的一句名言：“生活就像强奸，既然不能反抗不如学着享受。”到此为止，安迪得到了狱友的信任，也得到了狱警的关照。每个人都会面对困境，每个人处理困境的方法可能不一样。但是安迪的做法在一定程度上暗合了我们内心对于困难的一种解决方法，而这种方法又是最常用的。当然，安迪暂时的妥协并不代表完全的服从，这要等到影片结束才能明白他的坚忍。

影片从这开始，进入了一种比较欢快的气氛。身为犯人的安迪成了监狱中的财务总监，他的所作所为更像是反讽这些政府的工作人员。看到这里，观众大概会轻松一下，主角的智慧让他脱离了困难。接着，便是布鲁克斯事件。这位进入监狱五十年的老头被获准假释，一个被监狱同化了的人在外面的世界完全被抛弃，失去希望的布鲁克斯选择了自杀。这一事件的发生促使观众接受了我认为最经典的一句话：这些墙很有趣。一开始你恨它，慢慢你就习惯了，到后来你便不能离开它了，这就是体制化。这句话解释了亘古以来所有政策的本质。而任何一位有生活经验的观众便能从这体会出生活的某些滋味，或酸或甜或苦或辣，一切尽在不言中。影片在这里进一步将监狱渲染成了对立面，而安迪则是冲破这种体制最佳人选。

生活还要继续，监狱生活就是一段一段的例行公事。而安迪则做着另一件事情，他每周给州议会写信，以期望得到图书资助。在他坚持了六年后，他的努力获得了回报。接着，他再接再厉，继续给州议会写信，这带来了最后的成果：他得以建立图书馆，改善狱友的精神面貌，让每个人的内心中充满希望。接着，他便私自放送音乐，让内心的自由得到再次的释放，迎接他的便是禁闭。日子在他不断触动体制底线的反复较量中流失，谁都不会知道他的那把小锤子一刻也不会停下凿墙的步伐，直到汤米的出现。

个人以为汤米这个人其实本不需要出现。不过作为一个可以丰富安迪性格的角色（汤米的教书育人近似于我们古代的圣人），他的出现也带出了十九年前的那起凶杀案，得到内情的安迪自然是兴奋不已，在和监狱长的谈判中，他出口不逊，或者说过于冒进，导致自己丧失了机会。其实，这种机会本来就不可能出现，监狱长不会让他有这个机会，汤米的被杀让安迪彻底的失望，也坚定了他越狱的决心。在这里，估计很多人都会问，既然都要越狱了，为什么还要多此一举，期望翻案？我个人观点，安迪是一个聪明人，他当然想利用这次难得的机会摆脱杀人的罪名，以便轻松出狱；另外，越狱是有风险的。两者比较选其轻，他以为已经得到好处的监狱长可能会开恩，这样就没有必要冒险。当然，事态的发展导致他只能选择越狱。

后面的故事就算是点缀了，安迪越狱成功，并带走了监狱长洗干净的金钱；瑞德抱着不被假释之心去应付问答，结果却被假释，他也经历了一段心理挣扎，还好有老朋友的扶持，他也到达了梦想中的地方；而监狱长选择自杀，狱警长被捕，一个皆大欢喜的结局。

黑幕落下，观众大概还沉浸在安迪这种完美的结局中不能自拔。导演就是在不断的“破局”和“立局”中完成了这个简单的故事。而导演的精明之处就是在编排上让观众看不到一丝造作的痕迹，任何问题的产生和问题的解决似乎都是自然的。

情节上，导演的高明之处便是我前面提到的让观众在监狱生活开始不久后就同情安迪。而监狱作为一种对立的批判的象征性场景，时时刻刻被各种事件加以深刻，最终当安迪越狱成功，监狱的象征性则完成了使命。安迪成功越狱，对他而言是一种救赎，但是对监狱而言，安迪在监狱中散播下的希望之种是另一种形式的救赎。而影片的片名我想大概就是来源于这两方面吧。

而回过头去看安迪最初的一系列举动，便不难发现这是一个具有大智慧的人，他时刻都保持着冷静，都能审时度势。在宠辱不惊的外表之下，我想应该是最初的监狱生活给了他深刻的启发。而这个角色则代表了一般人心中最完美的人格。至于瑞德，他是一个深受体制困扰的旁观者，他能接受现实，并能自得其乐，却少了追求自由的激情，这个角色更是我们普通人的真实写照。用普通人的视角去看完美的人格，这无疑拉近了观众和电影的距离。

如果仔细看看安迪的所作所为，那么这部电影则是一部励志大片，是一部足以温暖每个人的“心灵鸡汤”。而在此层面上，这样的电影更适合在家中观看而不是电影院，更适合一个人欣赏而不是众人观看。

试想，在静谧空间中独自感受那份充满激情的力量，在光影交错中品尝那份包含情感的滋味，这也就不难理解影片为什么会拥有如此多的支持者。

最后的一晚，外面暴风骤雨，坐在牢房里的他的内心也在波涛汹涌。最后的一晚，当他爬出监狱的下水管道，举起双手徜徉在雨中的时候，他蓄积了20年的对自由的渴望终于爆发了。他用自己的坚持完成了对自己心灵的一次完美的救赎。

第三篇：《肖申克的救赎》英文影评

REVIEW OF THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION It has been a long time since I wanted to write a movie review of THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.I had so many feelings the first time I watch this film.The second.And the third.Every time.More and more feelings, I would say.It is a very impressive movie, being known to us all.Once you got it, you couldn’t help being touched.That’s it!It is one of my favorite movies.However, I dared not say that I fell in love with it at the very first sight.Actually I had thought it was very boring.It’s probably more because I didn’t understand its plots, let alone its theme until I’d watched a quarter of it.It’s hard to understand when I was just a senior high school student.I was not that smart.But I finally got it.And I loved it immediately!What a deep theme it is!Institutionalized!That’s exactly the word I gonna interpret!Before that, a story first.There was a time when my history teacher told us all before our final exam,“It is very relunctant for me to say that, but I gotta say, when you write down your answers on the paper, you’d better write down the same as the book says.I ain’t saying that my opinions are wrong, but it wouldn’t be recognized when your papers are being checked.It’s only my opinions.If you didn’t, then you’re stupid.I ain’t the only person who’s gonna check your paper.That’s the system.We teachers have rejected that kind of checking because it would not be fair for every teacher having his or her own key points to teach and thus, deserving their own standards for evaluation.Besides, you know that you have no enough powers to overthrow the system.Do you? So don’t be stupid and ridiculous.That’s all.” It was the sentence “That’s the system!” that attractted my attentions and made me reflect.System.Isn’t that exactly the same as institutionalization?

As a matter of fact, all of us, more or less, have been institutionalized or are being institutionalized.That’s what I got from THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.If we pay a little more attention on ourselves, we would find that fact.The systems have already been set for us as soon as we were born, without less similarities as the prisoners.They own their numbers as soon as they are put into prison.We own our identy cards.Then we try to fit right in the totally new world.For that matter, we try our best to do the same stuffs as everyone else under the system, such as the education.More or less, the prisoners are the same.No need to argue with that.What’s more, “Believe what you want.These walls are funny.First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em.After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em.That's “institutionalized.” That’s what Red said.And that’s exactly the truth.Why would we be institutionalized? Not having enough force is just an excuse.The point is we have no awareness that we actually would have had the choice not to be institutionalized only if we hadn’t lost the hope for freedom.As for “hope”, actually, Red and Andy have totally different viewpoints at first.“That 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.” Andy said.And Red said,“Hope is a dangerous thing.Drive a man insane.It's got no place here.Better get used to the idea.”

Whose would I stand by? Without doubt, Andy’s.You just can never ever lose hope for life, for freedom unless you are totally desperated for life.Neither can Red.As we can see, Red regained freedom finally.Isn’t it a relief? He once said that he was the only guilty man in Shawshank.Yet he got redemption in the end.Thank god.It’s not the end of his life.No one would want to be institutionalized.But how come one began to be institutionalized? Well, living a life under a system is a start to be.When we begin to think that we are out of the fashion, we are institutionalized.Because the fashion is one of the ways the system set to lead us.When we begin to think that we’d better not do something since nobody else did, we are institutionalized.Who made the rules for people to obey? The system.Then how come we not to be? Flee away from the systems.Only if we had such determinations as Andy did.And get busy living of get busy dying.That’s the only truth.Tina

第四篇：肖申克的救赎-英文影评

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!

I can’t agree with it any more.In the film, the walls of the prison can bind people’s freedom.But they can not deprive people’s hope.The hero, Andy, never abandons the desire for freedom, and he keeps up working for his hope.Every night andy uses the little hammer to dig the wall that in others’ opinion, it will takes hundreds of years to dig through.He makes all preparations for leaving the prison.So he succeeds, and regains the precious freedom.It is hope that helps Andy get through painful prison life and regain the freedom.At the same time, hope saves his friend’s life too.Therefore, in real life, no matter how difficult the situation is, we shouldn’t give up our hope.We should stick to work hard for the hope.In this way our life will not lose its significance.So please remember, Hope is a good thing, and no good thing ever dies!

希望是美好的事物，也许是世上最美好的事物。美好的事物从不消逝。影片中安迪有这样一句话：“Don't forget that there are … places … in the world that are not made up of stone，there is something … inside … that they can not get to … that is hope（不要忘了，这个世界穿透一切高墙的东西，它就在我们的内心深处，他们无法达到，也接触不到，那就是希望）”。的确，正像ANDY所说的，监狱的高墙可以束缚住我们的身体上的自由，甚至于体制化的东西可以束缚住我们的精神上的自由，但唯有希望不可以放弃。失去希望的生活是灰暗的，没有生气的，甚至是没有意义的。在ANDY的心中一直就没有放弃对自由的渴望，而且他也一直在为自己的希望努力着——每天晚上都要用那个小锤去挖RED认为几百年也挖不穿的墙壁。而对RED和BROOKS来说，他们早就放弃了希望，因为在他们看来希望只能让自己更痛苦，甚至认为希望便是痛苦的根源。一个人能够在19年痛苦的监狱生活里，不放弃对自由的向往，这是一种怎样的精神信念，所以他成功了，夺回了自己的自由，主的审判迅速降临。

希望挽救了朋友的生命

有了希望，生命就不会失去意义

Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!记住,希望是美好的，也许是人间至善，而美好的事物永不消逝。

Andy in the film there is such a word: “ Don't forget that there are...Places...In the world that are not made up of stone, there is something...Inside...That they can not get to...That is hope(don't forget the world through walls, all things, there's something inside, that they cannot get to, that they cannot touch, that is hope)”.Indeed, as ANDY said, the wall can bind our body freedom, even in the system that can bind our spiritual freedom, but only hope can not give up.Lose hope of life is dull, lifeless, and even there is no significance.ANDY in my heart has not abandoned the desire for freedom, but he has also been hope for their own efforts--every night to use the hammer to dig RED that hundreds of years to dig through the wall.And for RED and BROOKS, they had to give up hope, because in their view of hope can only make yourself more pain, even think hope is the source of the pain.A man in the 19 years of painful prison life, do not give up longing for freedom, this is a kind of spiritual beliefs, so he succeeded, recapturing their freedom, the judgment of the Lord fell quickly.

第五篇：肖申克的救赎影评

评《肖申克的救赎》

—灵魂的超越 心灵的救赎

在《文明而未开化的读者》中有人说过这样一句话：即使在最为困窘的情况下，依然有一条打开着的通向灵魂的通道，这个条通道也许并不容易找到„„，然而它始终在那儿，我们的义务是使它保持畅通，从而进入我们灵魂的最深处，在那里我们可以获得更高的意识，正是那种意识使我们做出最后的审判，并且把一切都安排好。正如影片在安迪刚进入肖申克看突兀的高墙时，谁都不清楚，命运早为他写好了结局。

环顾当今电影节所呈现的氛围，要么极度追求奢华的明星阵容，要么过分强调用高科技来打造的大手笔场景，或者以离奇曲折的情节取胜，或者是极尽无厘头的搞笑幽默。电影的构造大多数以此为表现范畴，而由弗兰克?德拉邦特执导的影片，既没有跌宕起伏的情节，也没有更多的投资，更没有众多明星的加入，然而却将影片所要变现的信念展现得淋漓尽致，从而震撼了每一位观众的心。这不是一部艺术性商业片，没有奢侈的票房收入，没有玄变的色彩，没有多少场景的男女角色搭配，没有重要的商业卖点——时尚，没有全球化进程中人们忙碌追赶世界潮流的身影，有的只是在丑陋的现实面前，各位囚徒因为精神空虚而烦恼，为没有实现的远大理想而不安，整日在广场上坐着看头顶天空的失去信仰的眼神，面对狱警的棒槌表面上没有而心理上却存在歇斯底里的恐惧，同性恋者的变态折磨，典狱长人面兽心的嘴脸，一次次遭到驳回的REJECTEDE印章，一系列的一系列导致他们已经失去了探寻生命能够继续存在的理由。这些都是监狱生活的常规，进入了肖申克借用典狱长诺顿的一句话：把信仰交给上帝，把身体交给我。长此以往，悲剧就产生了，孤寂的是心灵，创痛的是灵魂。人们习惯了这种不自由，习惯了这种被体制化的生活，布鲁斯就是这种被完全体制化的牺牲者，以至于在年老体衰出狱之后不知道该何去何从，甚至想通过再次杀人来让别人再次把他送回“家” „„。而瑞德则是被半体制化的典型，在遇到安迪之前他对“自由”已经没有了太多的憧憬，游离于现实和儿时的梦想之间，而更多的则是做了现实的傀儡。

肖申克不是一个人名 而是一个被完全紧闭的囚笼 该影片，实际上不是主演本人安迪?德佛瑞恩本身的救赎，而是对于整个被囚禁在肖申克监狱的所有人的救赎。有位导演曾说过：“含蓄是艺术美学上最好的享受。”而安迪在肖申克监狱的出现就是将这种含蓄的艺术美升华到了极致的境界。该影片中这种含蓄的美感主要来自安迪的性格表现，他选择孤独，用孤独来掩盖着与众不同的内心世界，用孤独沉思来捍卫他的尊严和追求，探索新的生活方式。他的一切都是矜持的：或是因为帮狱警逃税成功让他的同伴享受了每人三瓶啤酒的优厚待遇后的浅浅的奇怪的微笑；或是长达六年向州立政府写信，申请图书馆补贴，最终因为他的坚持而获得丰厚回报而脸上露出的那份恬淡与超脱；或是冒着被禁闭的危险，面对典狱长的威胁，在办公室里边放意大利歌剧的的那份潇洒与自然体现。无不向观众呈现了一个大银行家骨子里的那种沉稳与心机。这就是所谓的“含蓄美”但这种含蓄并不仅仅是虚设，它有一种爆发力，这是一个“自我”与“超我”的问题。而这种“自我”主要是通过图书馆的建立来体现的。图书和音乐两者都是一个人精神和灵魂可以栖息的地方，即使在肖申克如此变态的环境之下，也不忘让狱友们陶冶情操，去学习探索的人更是值得让人敬佩。他让为数不少的人在监狱里边获得了高中毕业证，让肖申克监狱的图书馆成为全缅因州的最顶尖图书馆，让监狱里的人们开始对完全不自由与状态下的生活开始有了内心的憧憬与期待。“超我”则从一把鹤嘴锤说起，在瑞德开来如果想借助鹤嘴锤企图越狱最少需要六百年的时间，而安迪却突破了这种常规，用了不到二十年时间为自由开辟了一片新天地。影片赋予这个沉闷型的人以厚积薄发，无坚不摧的雄浑气势。大家都生活在理性世界，没有人对希望这个词汇能再次存在敏感而他则是融感性与理性于一体的这样一个大人物，他的那些在常人眼里不正常的言

行举止，比起甚至是活在自由世界的我们这些人的理性言行更加可爱。因此，几十年如一日，一批又一批囚犯被带进肖申克这个无底洞，而只有安迪——这个沉默寡言得人将自己对于自由的那份追逐付诸了实践，最终得以解脱。

影片在表现手法上尽量做到了朴实单纯，用黑白搭调来展示牢狱生活，依靠人物和环境更多的发掘故事内在的本质的东西而不追求形式上简单化得创新，导演更多的运用全景和大全景的镜头，是人物和背景始终能够融合在一起，来衬托对于自由还存在向往的那种清纯质朴，进而反衬牢狱生活的黑暗，导演把影片拍得很“艺术”,有幽默也有伤感，其都来自于乏味生活下最本质的细节，体现出当时生活下的那种质感，在五六十年代资本主义迅速发展的美国，正处于存在隔阂与碰撞的时期，新旧交替也不是就可以简单的推倒重来，他需要一个漫长而艰辛的过程，而在影片中反映出的就是安迪的魅力所在，而那把鹤嘴锤，那条通道，以及作为掩饰的性感美女海报在影片中则有着外延，它是一种精神，一种文化，更是为安迪所举行的一场“新生”盛宴。知识分子最终还是要融入世界的，充实做人的本质，最终实现自我的价值，赢得人生的尊严，重塑形象，救赎心灵。肖申克的救赎是一部反映五六十年代美国司法黑幕的影片，典狱长诺顿把囚徒们当奴隶来使唤，洗黑钱，以在退休之前获取更多的私有财产，影片一开始就借助于安迪的眼睛来讲办公室里墙上的警言呈现于观众的视野，以此来为他的命运结局设置了伏笔。而电影本身的主题则是以此为背景向观众展示了一个“圆梦”的故事——即如何把生活中的不可能变成可能。它是好莱坞电影制造“白日梦”的一种全新突破，是对现实生活的一种折射，是对现实浪漫主义思想的一种加工处理，这里的“圆梦”不仅仅是“圆”剧中人的梦，更是“圆”那些对于梦想仍然没有彻底破灭的观众的梦。是对观众现实生活的理想化，言观众之所欲，进而又突破了这个层次，使观众产生共鸣，因此该电影无论是从艺术水平还是电影产业的角度来看，都具有十分重要的意义。

从剧中我们可以得到这样的启示：心灵的漂泊需要静养之地，精神的流浪也总需要回归，而回归是生命个体本身的结局所在，更是对现实生活的超越。对于所有的现代人而言，拯救我们的是我们自己，你无力改变喧嚣的世界，但你可以使自己的内心保持平衡，那么你同样可以得到精神的救赎，灵魂的超越。
