I think this movie is very meaningful. I like it very much. You mustthink so too.Youmustall havealotto say.Butaccording

As far as I’m concerned, this movie shows us three things:

freedom,friendship, and hope. If we take a movie as a novel, thenis a great novel without doubt. It reflects the real social life,and creates several typical characters with Classic Quotes and a few kindsof

modifications. This movie organizes the main scenario of the story in asimple way and at the same time using some petty lines. It expresses thesubject in a very artistic way.

Therewerethreewords,thefirstisfreedom.However,whatimpressedmeisnearlyeveryoneintheprisongotaccustomedtotheprison life. What’s more, an old man even suicide after he was set free. Ihave a very deep feeling of friendship. The second word accrued to me

isfriendship.Friendshipisanecessaryinourlife.Inthismovie,thefriendship between Andy and Red moved me. It gave me an idea:

gettinga real friendship is more important than money and power. Friendship isreally important, and in my opinion, it is very hard to get a real friendship.When we don’t have a real friend, we will feel very lonely.I may havethis feeling during these days. That is really incredibly hard.

Also there are some sentences in the movie that really impressed

me.ThesentenceIlikemostis“hopeisagoodthing,maybethebestofthings,andnogoodthingeverdies.”BecauseIthink,itencouragespeople 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 andmade 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 ourheart. We need it, just like you have never forgotten it.

Another one is:

“Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. Astrong man can save himself. A great man can save another.” I like

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