《肖申克的救赎》简介 The film I would like to introduce to you is known to a lot of people, I suppose. Its an American film called The Shawshank Redemption, which is one of the most worth-watching movies throughout the human history. The film can simply described as a prison-break story, which takes us only several hours, but the leading role, Andy, almost 20 years.

In the following 19 years living in prison, Andy has gone through a lot of hardships and fortunately made a real friend, Red, another leading role in this film. Andy is amazing guy who has even won the respect from the jailors because of the comprehensive knowledge of accounting. He is also a guy of incredible perseverance that he has spent 19 years to tunnel through the prison wall and successfully escaped the prison at the end. When seeing he is extending his arms in front of himself in the heavy rain to enjoy the freedom, I was so touched. I think it is hard to say whether it is a happy story or a sad one, because the plot, you know, really makes your heart ache and the ending may make the cruelest man in the world smile. Two old friendson the beautiful beach of Mexicohugging each otherafter tens of years suffering in the prison I think it is so wonderful that it cant be expressed in words.

And the most important is to keep hope forever, just as the sentence on the film poster — “fear can hold you prisoner; hope can set you free”. 译文： 我所要介绍的这部影片应该是为许多人所熟知的，它是一部美国电影，是人类电影史上最值得观赏的电影之一，它就是《肖申克的救赎》。 如果简单地概括一下，这部电影讲述的是一个“越狱”的故事。这个故事只消耗了我们几个小时的时间，却无情地从主角Andy的生命中攫取了几乎20年。一开始，Andy被指控犯有两项谋杀罪（谋杀了他的妻子和妻子的情人），但随后的剧情告诉我们这是一次误判。在随后的19年监狱生活中，Andy经历了不少苦难，但很幸运的是，他也结
