最近看了<<肖申克的救赎>>,是一群打WOW的人推荐我看的,说是啥男人必看的电影,OK,我是男人,谁怕谁啊?看就看!! I’M LOSING MY HAIR!!
关于影片的背景故事放在最后,先说点我的感想吧
看这部电影的时候,有个问题一直萦绕在我脑子中,就是到底是谁救赎了谁??
当主人公在暴雨的夜晚逃出监狱的一刹那,当他沐浴着雨水的时候,仿佛我有了答案,是的,这里,没有具体的谁救赎了谁,而是希望救赎了自由
就像影片海报里写的
Fear can hold you prisoner.
Hope can set you free.
是的,希望,便是这部影片的主题!
可在监狱里的人对于希望完全报以嗤之以鼻的态度,甚至说”Hope is a dangerous. It’s got no use…”
然而,ANDY仍然在监狱里享受着他自己的生活,甚至不顾被关禁闭室.ANDY是伟大的,他的到来给了整个监狱无穷的希望和乐趣,赢得了被认为是不可一世的警官的免费冰镇啤酒,帮助建立了图书馆等等…而相反,影片中的老头在被囚禁了数十年后,当他能离开监狱的时候,他放飞了他的鸽子JACK,自己的心灵却仍然被囚禁在这个小小的监狱中,无奈的他只好走上了自杀这条路…这位老头的故事与ANDY形成了鲜明的对比,ANDY通过他的行动告诉了人们,不管在任何地方,只要在心里还有最后的一点希望,那就还活着,否则,安于麻木的现实,也就同死亡没有什么区别了.
ANDY在最后留了封信给RED,信中是这样说的:Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing.And no good thing ever dies…..
是的,有希望就好,就像AEROSMITH的那首>>DREAM ON<<一样
Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin’ clearer
The past is gone
It went by like **dusk** to dawn
Isn’t that the way
Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay
I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it’s everybody’s sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life is in books’ written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it’s true
All the things you do, come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it’s just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
(x2)
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On,
Dream until your dream come true
(x2)
Dream On, Dream On
Dream On, Dream On
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it’s just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
如今已老去的ST唱着这首歌的时候,感慨良多,感叹着岁月已逝去,也害怕真的Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away…BUT HE’S STILL DREAMING ON!!
是的,
Fear can hold you prisoner.
Hope can set you free.
