《肖申克的救赎》观后感

The Shawshank Redemption

I saw the film "the Shawshank Redemption” last time in my class, it completely blew me away and for days I couldn't stop talking about it. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the most popular movies of all time. The story was about the caring and smart banker Andy Dufresne, who is falsely accused and convicted of the murder of his wife. He is sent to Shawshank prison in the 1940’s, he meets many fellow prisoners, including Red, who becomes his important friend. During his time at Shawshank Andy’s way of life is changed, but he never looses his hope. It’s a powerful story of hope, friendship and freedom, made remarkable by the interaction between the two lead characters. Hope is the major force behind the lead character Andy, and Andy uses hope to change the other lead character Red. “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever die." ---Red (Morgan Freeman).

In my opinion, it’s one of the best movies ever made. If I could recommend to you one movie you must see before you die it is this one. Let me show you why? Firstly, the characters in the film were all deep and showed a lot of human character and emotion, and the acting was also really good making every character seem real, both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman do a fine job in terms of making their roles genuine and appealing, and also in the way they work so well together. Secondly, the songs are all entertaining and range from excitement to drama to great sadness, they are really beautiful! Thirdly, the film is also very well photographed.

Although there is violence in the film, it is necessary to show the kind of place the prison is certainly not gratuitous. The main theme is hope, not despair, and the violence serves only as a real. The key to the film's structure, I think, is that it's not about its hero, but about our relationship with him - our curiosity, our pity, our admiration. If Andy had been the heroic center, bravely enduring, the film would have been less mysterious. But we wonder about this guy. Did he really kill those two people? Why does he keep so much to himself? Why can he stay in the prison yard like a free man? Why people value "Shawshank" so much. Maybe it plays more like a spiritual experience than a movie

To be honest, People like excitement at the movies. Films about "redemption" are approached with great care. A lot of people are not thrilled by the prospect of a great film. But there's an ego of hope, and when a film offers one, it's likely to have staying power even if it doesn't grab an audience.

Being a huge film fan myself, this is a film I enjoy from start to finish, this movie is beautiful and genius. It shows what prison life is like at the time which may not be innovative because obviously it has been done before, but it still is a movie that is lightened up by the superb actings of Tim Robbins (Andy Dufrane) and Morgan Freeman (Red). However, personally I think the ending was a bit sappy and didn't fit the movie while the whole movie was a work of art.

In sum, the Shawshank Redemption is really a wonderful film! I’ve been shown by Andy's example that I have to keep true to myself, not lose hope, bide your time, set a quiet example and look for your chance. "I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really," he tells Red. "Get busy living' or get busy dying'."

The Little Prince – A Tale of Love andn Life

Title: The Little Prince

Author: Antoine de St-Exupery

Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.

Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.

As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.

Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.

At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. “It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.

One of the important characters is the rose. Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world. The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.

Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year’s life experience, it’s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence.
