"This is a must-see movie for men," everyone said. But simply dividing it by gender would make this movie narrow. "The Shawshank Redemption" breaks through the limitations of men's movies. The whole story is almost full of incredibly warm tone, and the greatest theme in the movie is "hope." When we helplessly encounter the kind of prison that imprisons the freedom of the soul like Shawshank, are we the helpless old Brooke, the discouraged Red, or the wise Andy? Use wisdom, trust in hope, and face fear bravely to defeat it? Classic movies are classic because they all do the same thing - let you appreciate the beauty of hope from different angles.
