內容簡介
The background of the novel is 20 century 30s, when "political corruption in America is late." The Shawshank Redemption novel - cover In front of merchants, even to prison.
小說的背景是20個世紀30年代,那時,「美國的政治腐敗已經遲到了商人面前」,甚至波及到了監獄
In the story, Andy, a young banker, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Because of the corruption in the prison, he was still not exposed to the truth. Instead, he was subjected to various kinds of mental and physical devastation in Shawshank prison.
故事中,年輕的銀行家安迪因為妻子和她的情人被殺而被判無期徒刑,由於監獄的腐敗,他在真相即將大白的情況下仍然得不到昭雪,反而在肖申克監獄飽受了各種精神上和肉體上的摧殘。
Nevertheless, Andy was not destroyed by his miserable fate. After more than 20 years of hard digging, he finally climbed out of a 500-yard-long sewage pipe on a thunderstorm night, regained his freedom and lived a free life on the Mexican coast.
然而,安迪並沒有被多舛的命運毀掉,他經過20多年水滴石穿般地不懈挖掘,終於在一個雷雨交加的夜晚,從500碼長的污糞管道中爬出,重獲自由,在墨西哥海邊過上了自由人的生活。
(1)肖申克的救贖電影英文介紹擴展閱讀
《肖申克的救贖》是美國作家斯蒂芬·金的中篇小說,也是其代表作。收錄於小說合集《四季奇譚》中,副標題為「春天的希望」。
該作講述銀行家安迪,被當作殺害妻子的兇手送上法庭。妻子的不忠、律師的奸詐、法官的誤判、獄警的凶暴、典獄長的貪心與卑鄙,將正處在而立之年的安迪一下子從人生的巔峰推向了世間地獄。
而獄中發生的一系列事情迫使忍無可忍的安迪終於在一個雷電交加的夜晚,越獄而出,重獲自由。當翌日典獄長打開安迪的牢門時,發現他已不翼而飛,預感到末日來臨的典獄長在檢察人員收到安迪投寄的罪證之前,畏罪自殺。
監獄作為故事背景帶有寓意性,以安迪、典獄長、獄警和囚犯們所構成的這個世界,本身就是錯謬、混亂的。安迪是一個無罪的好人,卻被關進監獄接受改造。肖申克的幾任典獄長沒有一個是清白的,但他們卻在那裡頤指氣使,教化訓導著無罪的安迪。
在這樣一個錯謬、黑白顛倒的世界,現代派作家筆下的人物通常會自甘墮落或精神崩潰,而斯蒂芬·金塑造的安迪卻像一隻浴火後重生的火鳳凰,健康自信地飛出了煉獄的火坑。這樣的結果同樣寄託著作者要使荒原上的人們堅守善良人性並「振奮」起來的創作主旨。
2. 關於(肖申克的救贖)的導演和主演的英文簡介
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
A film review by Jeff Pidgeon
Copyright 1994 Jeff Pidgeon
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION is a strong debut for director Frank Darabont, a screenwriter who sold the script on the provision that he could direct it. This isn't a Film For The Ages, but it is involving and engaging for the majority of its 150-minute running time. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are both fine as convicts who meet in Shawshank Prison in the late 40's and get to know each other as they do time together. The suspense mainly revolves around 1) whether Robbins will continue to survive prison life; and 2) whether he should be there at all. The script does a decent job of sustaining these elements and keeping the viewer in doubt. On the other hand, there are few moments in the story that, once they are revealed, are different than you might expect. For the most part, the satisfying option is usually chosen, the one that will make the audience happy. While this makes for an enjoyable immediate experience , the side effect is that the lack of genuine surprise makes it less enring than you'd like. On the whole though, aside from script weaknesses and implausibilities (more than a couple), the performances are uniformly strong, if a bit two-dimensional in spots, the period feel of the art direction is thorough yet understated, Thomas Newman's score nicely supports things and is emotional without being too overpowering or treacly. For a prison drama, the violence isn't played up particlarly, but this ain't FREE WILLY, either. For the curious, SHAWSHANK makes for a good night out, as the saying goes. If the concept doesn't grab you from the start, I don't know that it would win you over. Marginally Recommended. 天涯:洛杉磯奇跡——————是這位仁兄的!

[編輯本段]劇情介紹
故事發生在1947年,銀行家安迪因為妻子有婚外情,酒醉後誤被指控用槍殺死了她和她的情人,安迪被判無期徒刑,這意味著他將在肖申克監獄中渡過餘生。
瑞德1927年因謀殺罪被判無期徒刑,數次假釋都未獲成功。他現在已經成為肖申克監獄中的「權威人物」,只要你付得起錢,他幾乎有辦法搞到任何你想要的東西:香煙,糖果,酒,甚至是大麻。每當有新囚犯來的時候,大家就賭誰會在第一個夜晚哭泣。瑞德認為弱不禁風、書生氣十足的安迪一定會哭,結果安迪的沉默使他輸掉了兩包煙。但同時也使瑞德對他另眼相看。
好長時間以來,安迪不和任何人接觸,在大家報怨的同時,他在院子里很悠閑地散步,就象在公園里一樣。一個月後,安迪請瑞德幫他搞的第一件東西是一把石錘,他的解釋是他想雕刻一些小東西以消磨時光,並說他自己想辦法逃過獄方的例行檢查。不久,瑞德就玩上了安迪刻的國際象棋。之後,安迪又搞了一幅麗塔.海華絲的巨幅海報貼在了牢房的牆上。
一次,安迪和另幾個犯人外出勞動,他無意間聽到監獄官在講有關上稅的事。安迪說他有辦法可以使監獄官合法地免去這一大筆稅金,做為交換,他為十幾個犯人朋友每人爭得了3瓶啤酒。喝著啤酒,瑞德說多年來,他又第一次感受到了自由的感覺。
由於安迪精通財務制度方面的的知識,很快使他擺脫了獄中繁重的體力勞動和其它變態囚犯的騷擾。不久,聲名遠揚的安迪開始為越來越多的獄警處理稅務問題,甚至孩子的升學問題也來向他請教。同時安迪也逐步成為肖申克監獄長諾頓洗黑錢的重要工具。監獄生活非常平淡,總要自己找一些事情來做。由於安迪不停地寫信給州議會,終於為監獄申請到了一小筆錢用於監獄圖書館的建設。同時,安迪為了展現音樂的魅力,讓更多人了解,冒著被處罰播放了一段音樂,並送給瑞德一個口琴。
一個年輕犯人的到來打破了安迪平靜的獄中生活:這個犯人以前在另一所監獄服刑時聽到過安迪的案子,他知道誰是真凶!但當安迪向監獄長提出要求上報這一情況以爭取重新審理此案時,卻遭到了斷然拒絕,並受到了單獨禁閉一個月的嚴重懲罰。為了防止安迪獲釋,監獄不惜設計害死了知情人!
面對殘酷的現實,安迪變得很消沉……有一天,他對瑞德說:「如果有一天,你可以獲得假釋,一定要到某個地方替我完成一個心願。那是我向我妻子求婚的地方,把那裡一棵大橡樹下的一個盒子挖出來。那裡有我給你的東西。」當天夜裡,風雨交加,雷聲大作,已得到靈魂救贖的安迪越獄成功。
原來二十年來,安迪每天都在用那把小石錘挖洞,然後用海報將洞口遮住。同時,因為他對經濟聰明的頭腦,典獄長一直讓安迪為他做黑賬,洗錢,將他用監獄的廉價勞動力賺來的黑錢一筆筆轉出去。而安迪將這些黑錢全部寄放在一個叫斯蒂文的人名下,其實這個斯蒂文是安迪虛構出來的人物,安迪為斯蒂文做了駕駛證,身份證等各種證明,可謂天衣無縫。安迪越獄後,用斯蒂文這個化名,以斯蒂文的身份領走了部分監獄長存的黑錢,用這筆不小的數目過上了不錯的生活。並告發了監獄長貪污受賄的真相。監獄長在自己存小賬本的保險櫃里見到的是安迪留下的一本聖經,扉頁上寫著:「監獄長,您說得對,救贖就在裡面。」當看到里邊挖空的部分正好可以放下小石錘時。監獄長領悟到其實安迪一直都沒有屈服過。而這時,警方正向監獄趕來逮捕監獄長,最後監獄長飲彈自盡。
瑞德獲得了假釋,他在橡樹下找到了一盒現金和安迪留給他的一封信後,決定違反假釋規定,尋找自由。便動身去芝華塔內歐。兩個老朋友安迪和瑞德終於在墨西哥陽光明媚的海灘重逢。
[編輯本段]電影幕後
一句話評論
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
一部揭露美國司法黑幕的巨片
一幅用友誼和希望描繪的生命畫卷
蘊含人生哲理的喻世之作
幕後製作
本片透過監獄這一強制剝奪自由、高度強調紀律的特殊背景來展現作為個體的人對「時間流逝、環境改造」的恐懼。影片的結局有一種《基督山伯爵》式的復仇宣洩。
貫穿全線的「三次救贖」
redemption,救贖,並不只是andy本身,從某種意義上來說,他不但拯救了自己,也拯救了他的獄友。他對獄友的拯救,表現在一種精神上的拯救,因為他一定程度上使他的周圍的人明白了,追求自由和希望的可貴--red就是其中一個典型。兩個對自由持有一樣的寄望,但有著不同態度的人,構成 了全片的主線。三次「redemption」如下:
第一次是他幫助獄警HADLEY逃稅,為獄友贏得每人3瓶啤酒的獎勵。 「We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders, and felt like free men. We could'a been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lords of all Creation.」... 「You could argue he'd done it to curry favor with the guards. Or maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feel normal again...if only for a short while.」 這時,你看到了T.Robbins第一次露出笑容。畢竟,自由總是最快樂的,同時也代表一種自我價值的實現。每個人都有這種需要,使自己有重要感。
第二次則是本片中最為精彩的一part,他在獄警辦公室放「費加羅的婚禮」(Le Nozze de Figaro)。這個片段看似平靜如水,但 實則激情四射,殺傷力極強,最能使你兩眼發熱。 「I have no idea to this day what them two Italian ladies were singin' about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singin' about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.」...「I tell you, those voices soared. Higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away... and for the briefest of moments -- every last man at Shawshank felt free.」 這次,andy的微笑是一種帶有勝利感的微笑。他利用自己在獄警中的價值以及依此得到的信任,再次給他的朋友,帶來自由的感覺--哪怕是一剎那。 「There are things in this world not carved out of gray stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.」
第三次,他為監獄建立了一個圖書館。為了得到第一批書,他每周一封信,連續寫了六年。然後他增加到每周兩封,在andy入獄的第二個十年間,圖書館落成。這也是一個劃時代的勝利,這個勝利的影響是深遠的。大概也是在這個時候,Tommy出現了,劇情也隨之發生了轉折。
Tommy被殺後,andy從hole(禁閉室)中出來,臨脫獄的一天,和red的對白非常耐人尋味。在逃離此處之前,andy反思了自己的錯誤,妻子的死 他要負一定責任。
這里不得不提一下的是,逃獄前後的片段處理得很好。red總是擔心andy會自殺。面對絕望,有人選擇死,因為這意味著一種解脫--導演在這里也 有引導觀眾往「死」那個方向想的傾向,似乎是想和觀眾開個玩笑--但對於那些真正想獲得自由的人來說,會選擇另外一條路,一條真正通往自由的路。
其後,norton自殺,「HIS JUDGMENT COMETH AND THAT RIGHT SOON.」這句話非常有諷刺意味。而從 andy脫獄成功到red出獄後的這一段戲,完全是對M.Freeman演技的考驗。M.Freeman的獨白和表演總是給人一種看破紅塵,爐火純青的感 覺,為本劇增色不少。(王家衛也在《重慶森林》、《春光乍泄》等片中用過獨白的手法,但梁朝偉的表現似乎還是稍欠火候。)從在獄中: 「Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...」到最後他打開盒子,決定到 Zihuatanejo找他的朋友andy,說出內心最後的獨白: 「I find I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain...」 均可以看出他的深厚功力。
顯然,這並不是一部簡單的、純粹的商業片--雖然它確實帶來很高的商業成就--1995年全美影帶租售冠軍。但除卻票房,它帶來的信息量也是很大 的。比如「價值」就是該片帶來的一個重要信息。出獄監犯的人生價值何在?Brooks(老布)的從出獄到自殺,也是催人淚下的一個片段。正如red所說, 他已經長期的監獄生活institutionalized(「體制化」)了。 「Man's been here fifty years. This place is all he knows. In here, he's an important man, an ecated man. A librarian. Out there, he's nothing but a used-up old con with arthritis in both hands. Couldn't even get a library card if he applied. You see what I'm saying?」...「Believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's "institutionalized."」
珍惜你的自由,也是本片所要表現的主旨之一。red是這樣評價自己的: 「I'm the only guilty man in Shawshank.」他最後一次在HEARINGS ROOM所說的,他對自己所做的一切, 深感悔恨。「Not a day goes by I don't feel regret, and not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on myself the way I was...stupid kid who did that terrible crime...wish I could talk sense to him. Tell him how things are right. But I can't. That kid's long gone, this old man is all that's left, and I have to live with that.」
其實,人生本身不就是一個監獄嗎?我們每個人,有哪個不是被社會institutionalized「體制化」的產物?該片的電影原版海報上寫著 這樣一句話:「Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.」這使我想起前段時間的一本暢銷 書:《誰動了我的乳酪》:「克服你內心的恐懼,改變你自己,釋放你自己。」
提起拍攝於1994年的《肖申克的救贖》(The Shawshank Redemption,影迷通稱為《刺激1995》),幾乎永遠是影迷心中的經典、電影論壇里不過時的話題、影碟店內的暢銷貨、IMDB網站上的前三名。

[編輯本段]精彩花絮
·是否記得剛來到監獄的新囚犯們走下囚車時,嘲笑他們的人群中有一個年輕的黑人?該演員就是片中主角老黑人Red的扮演者Morgan Freeman的兒子.
·是否記得三姐妹之一的Bogs被隊長打殘廢後送入救護車的情節?在拍攝過程中,那個老的掉牙的救護車拋錨了,在畫面中的救護車移動其實是工作人員的人力牽引.
·是否記得Andy駕駛著紅色的敞蓬車在墨西哥山路上飛奔的鏡頭?那是一部1969年產的Pontiac GTO,而影片中的年代還在1966年.攝制組曾經聯系了一部1965年的Mustang,但是車主在最後時刻變卦了.
·是否記得在肖申克在監獄的第一晚,老囚犯們不停地嘲笑喧嘩,企圖嚇新囚犯的情節?在拍攝過程中,因為臨時演員不夠用,還動用了拍攝現場的保安也來製造喧嘩的氣氛.
·是否記得Andy在謀殺發生的那個夜晚坐在自己的車里,有一個雙手上子彈的特寫鏡頭?其實那雙手是導演Frank Darabont的,因為原先的劇本里沒有設計這個鏡頭,是事後補拍的。
·是否記得Andy和老黑人Red第一次在操場上相遇的情節(Red在和其他人玩棒球)?因為拍攝的時候出現了無數的問題,這個場景竟然花費了一整天的時間來反復拍攝才讓導演覺得完美。
·是否記得Andy在雪中行走的鏡頭?那些雪花其實是土豆薄片。
·是否記得影片開頭那個喊「熄燈」的監獄警衛?他在實際生活中也是一名監獄警衛。
·是否記得Tommy(Andy的學生,被開槍打死的那個)來到監獄時,同一囚車中坐在他身後的黑人囚犯?那個人在實際生活中是俄亥俄州少管所的典獄官。
·是否記得Andy用來敲破下水道的那塊石頭?其實最初的設計是讓Andy用他的小石錘的,但是後來發現小石錘不足以敲破下水道,才改換成了石頭。
·Andy在下水道中爬行時臉上及管道中的污漬其實都是巧克力漿。
·是否記得那句台詞「有些鳥是不會被關住的」(Some birds aren't meant to be caged,直譯是:有些鳥是無意被籠養的)?劇本原先設計了一個圖書管理員Brooks養的那隻烏鴉又飛回肖申克、死後被Andy和Red發現的情節(比喻Brooks像這只鳥一樣只適合籠養而不能在外面生存),還涉及了囚犯們在操場為這只鳥舉行葬禮以悼念自殺的老Brooks的場景。
·是否記得最後一個場景中Andy和RED在海灘上重逢並擁抱的鏡頭?這在劇本中原是不存在的,因為Stephen King的原著小說中並沒有這段情節。這是導演在其合夥人的堅持下違心添加的,而甚至在拍攝完後還一度企圖剪掉。幸虧在試看樣片的時候名觀眾們非常喜愛,導演才因此做出了讓步,並決定保留這段情節。後來的觀眾們才因此有幸觀看到這令人喜悅且熱淚盈眶的結局場面。
·摩根.弗里曼扮演的那位贏得遲來自由的老者名叫RED,即英文單詞「救贖」(Redemption,也是本片片名)的前三個字母。
·Tommy Williams(因為偷電視而被判兩年的小夥子)這一角色本來是給布拉德·皮特准備的,片中扮演Tommy的Gil Bellows,曾在1997年的當紅電視劇集《Ally McBeal》(港譯《艾麗的異想世界》,台譯《甜心俏佳人》,像《六人行》一樣的熱門連續劇)中扮演了一個類似角色William Thomas。
·拍攝地是俄亥俄州的曼斯菲爾德州立管教所(Mansfield State Penitentiary),但由於監獄過於破舊,劇組不得不在拍攝前進行整修。室內戲則是在攝影棚內拍的,因為修復這所監獄的內部比搭建同樣的布景花費要高。
·美國人道主義協會(The American Humane Association)監督了影片中所有涉及到布魯克斯的烏鴉的拍攝。有一場戲是布魯克斯給他的烏鴉喂蛆蟲,AHA當即認為這對蛆是不"人道"的,並要求他們改用一隻自然死亡的蛆,他們只好從命。
·貼在摩根·弗里曼假釋文件上的那張照片實際上是弗里曼的小兒子,阿方索·弗里曼(Alfonso Freeman),阿方索在片中還跑了回龍套,就是喊"新囚犯!今天的新囚犯!"("Fresh fish! Fresh fish today! We're reeling 'em in!")的那個。

4. 肖申克的救贖 影評,英文,200字
肖申克的救贖 影評:
Shawshank Redemption is one of the most exciting and morally satisfactory films in the 1990s. This is not just because it contains religious factors. God never cares for Shawshank, but because it is a story of looking for hope in the unshakable friendship between two people.
Crucially, as an age film based on a non horror short story by Stephen King, the film has never grown old. It is a moral fable about maintaining one's integrity and personal freedom, regardless of the environment. This is also true in real life, just as in this fictional fable.
翻譯:
《肖申克的救贖》是20世紀90年代最振奮人心,也是在道德上最令人滿意的電影之一。這並非只是因為它包含了宗教因素,上帝從來不會眷顧肖申克,而是因為它是一部在兩個人之間不可動搖的友誼中尋找希望的故事。
關鍵的是,作為一部根據斯蒂芬·金的一個非恐怖短篇小說改編的年代片,該片從未衰老。它是一個關於保持一個人的正直和個人自由的道德寓言,不論身處何種環境。這一點在現實生活中也是真實的,就如同在這部虛構的寓言中一樣。

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
A film review by Jeff Pidgeon
Copyright 1994 Jeff Pidgeon
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION is a strong debut for director Frank Darabont, a screenwriter who sold the script on the provision that he could direct it. This isn't a Film For The Ages, but it is involving and engaging for the majority of its 150-minute running time. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are both fine as convicts who meet in Shawshank Prison in the late 40's and get to know each other as they do time together. The suspense mainly revolves around 1) whether Robbins will continue to survive prison life; and 2) whether he should be there at all. The script does a decent job of sustaining these elements and keeping the viewer in doubt. On the other hand, there are few moments in the story that, once they are revealed, are different than you might expect. For the most part, the satisfying option is usually chosen, the one that will make the audience happy. While this makes for an enjoyable immediate experience , the side effect is that the lack of genuine surprise makes it less enring than you'd like. On the whole though, aside from script weaknesses and implausibilities (more than a couple), the performances are uniformly strong, if a bit two-dimensional in spots, the period feel of the art direction is thorough yet understated, Thomas Newman's score nicely supports things and is emotional without being too overpowering or treacly. For a prison drama, the violence isn't played up particlarly, but this ain't FREE WILLY, either. For the curious, SHAWSHANK makes for a good night out, as the saying goes. If the concept doesn't grab you from the start, I don't know that it would win you over. Marginally Recommended.

你有時間的話,應該自己看看,不然做什麼介紹?
這是劇情:
In 1947, banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover, based on circumstantial evidence, and is sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at Shawshank State Penitentiary. Andy quickly befriendscontraband smuggler Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), an inmate serving a life sentence. Red procures a rock hammer for Andy, allowing him to create small stone chess pieces. He obtains a large poster of Rita Hayworth for Andy, followed in later years by images of Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch. Andy works in the prison laundry, but is regularly assaulted by "the Sisters" and their leader Bogs (Mark Rolston).
In 1949, Andy overhears the brutal chief guard Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown) complaining about taxes on a forthcoming inheritance, and informs him about a financial loophole. After another vicious assault by the Sisters nearly kills Andy, Bogs is beaten and crippled by Hadley. Bogs is sent to another prison and Andy is not attacked again. Later, under the pretense of a cell inspection, Warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton) meets with Andy and reassigns him to the prison library, to assist elderly inmate Brooks Hatlen (James Whitmore); a pretext for Andy to manage financial ties for the prison. His advice and expertise are soon sought by other guards at Shawshank and from nearby prisons. Andy begins writing weekly letters to the state government for funds to improve the decrepit library.
In 1954, Brooks is freed on parole, but unable to adjust to the outside world after 50 years in prison, he hangs himself. Andy receives a library donation that includes a recording of The Marriage of Figaro. He plays an excerpt over the public address system, resulting in him receiving solitary confinement. After his release, Andy explains that he holds onto hope as something that the prison cannot take from him, but Red dismisses the idea. In 1963, Norton begins exploiting prison labor for public works, undercutting the cost of skilled labor by skimming the profits and receiving kickbacks. He has Andy launder the money using the alias "Randall Stevens".
In 1965, Tommy Williams (Gil Bellows) is incarcerated for robbery. He joins Andy and Red's circle of friends, and Andy assists him in getting his GED. In 1966, after hearing the details of Andy's case, Tommy reveals that an inmate at another prison claimed responsibility for an identical murder, suggesting Andy's innocence. Andy approaches Norton with this information, but the warden refuses to listen. Norton places Andy in solitary confinement and has Tommy murdered by Hadley under the guise of an escape attempt. Andy refuses to continue with the scam, but Norton threatens to destroy the library and take away his protection and preferential treatment. After Andy is released from solitary he tells Red of his dream of living in Zihuatanejo, a Mexican Pacific coastal town. While Red shrugs it off as unrealistic, Andy instructs him, should he ever be freed, to visit a specific hayfield near Buxton to retrieve a package.
The next day at roll call, Andy's cell is empty. Enraged, Norton throws one of Andy's rocks at the poster of Raquel Welch which tears through, revealing a tunnel that Andy had g with his rock hammer over the previous two decades. The previous night, Andy escaped through the tunnel and the prison's sewage pipe with Norton's ledger, containing details of the money laundering. While guards search for him the following morning, Andy, posing as Randall Stevens, visits several banks to withdraw the laundered money. Finally, he sends the ledger and evidence of the corruption and murders at Shawshank to a local newspaper. The police arrive at Shawshank and take Hadley into custody, but Norton commits suicide to avoid arrest.
After serving 40 years Red receives parole. He struggles to adapt to life outside prison and fears he never will. Remembering his promise to Andy, he visits Buxton and finds a cache containing money and a letter, asking him to come to Zihuatanejo. Red violates his parole and travels to Fort Hancock, Texas to cross the border to Mexico, admitting he finally feels hope. On a beach in Zihuatanejo, he finds Andy, and the two friends are happily reunited.

評價
《肖申克的救贖》毫無疑問是一部好片子,沒有動作,沒有特技,甚至沒有美女,卻依然能夠打動觀眾,並且歷經多年而魅力不減。
有人說是因為它反映出了「人性之韌」。確實,用一把小榔頭,近20年的時間,在人身控制極為嚴格的法西斯式監獄,挖出了一條逃生的小隧道。
不過這個情節明顯是戲劇化的,這只是導演在情節安排上的需要,這樣的結尾只是為了反映安迪的「自我救贖」最終成功了,否則整個情節和主題難以為繼。所以有人認為該片反映的其實是「希望」對於人是多麼寶貴。
