电影《肖申克的救赎》的英文观后感

Atonement,是救赎之义。at one,指的是由一人所带来的救赎，在基督教中指的是耶稣基督的犠牲，为人类带来的救恩。而在肖申克的电影之中，主角最后的成功逃狱之前，为狱友带来了各种恩惠，而他的逃狱也来自于多人的帮助，彼此为彼此在一群有罪之人聚集之地，成为了彼此的救赎。

事实上，主角Andy一开始是被陷害入狱的，所以救赎这个名词，同时也带有讽刺之义。无罪之人何来救赎。

因此这部电影中，以救赎完成了完整的剧情线，更彻底的对主角的待遇进行了批判。是个十分重要的关键词。

对于“救赎”，不仅是从监狱出来重获自由。从老布克50年里呆在监狱到出狱，那只从小哺育长大的鸟儿是他在狱中的救赎，出狱后反而没有了那只可以心灵寄托的鸟儿，他的自杀和瑞德出狱后的新生活形成对比，暗示了安迪对于瑞德的救赎。

“ get busy living or get busy dying. (要么忙于生存，要么赶着去死)”。这些给予实际上是对他们的一种精神上的救赎，点燃一个人对生活的希望无疑是对他的救赎。

安迪被送进肖申克监狱，人生从此被改写。监狱里的老油条们，以捉弄新来的犯人为乐。其中，已服刑20年的瑞德，和狱友打赌，安迪会在第一个晚上就崩溃。

然，瑞德输了。第一个晚上，安迪一句话也没说。倒是与他一起进来的那个胖子，又哭又喊，最后死于警棍之下。

安迪没有沉浸在痛苦绝望不甘愤怒抱怨的负面情绪里，他用最短的时间认清了现实，看清了自己的处境。

他知道，挣扎反抗只有死路一条。死了，就什么都没有了。他要活着，一定要活着，活着才有希望。正所谓，留得青山在，不怕没柴烧。冷静下来，先活下去，再慢慢寻找出路。

现实中，我们也会遇到各种困境，如失业，失恋，破产，天灾人祸。有的人承受能力很弱，遇到大的挫折无论如何也走不出来，以至于精神崩溃走极端。

相反，内心强大的人遭遇不幸，会想尽办法绝境求生。他们能很快认清现实，无论现实多么残酷，一句“事已至此，多说无益”便不再做无畏的挣扎，宁愿把时间和精力用于思考，思考如何应对眼下的困境。

影片中的安迪，他被关在暗无天日的监狱里，没有自由，没有未来，每天还要面对各种恶势力的威胁，恐吓，暴打，但他浑身散发着耀眼的光辉，让人感受到了强大的生命的力量。

即便身处黑暗，也要心向光明。安迪如此，我们也应当如此。

第一篇Shawshank Redemption is a film co-operated by white people and black people. It told a story about the life in the prison.A man called Andy Dufresne, was sent into the prison, Shawshank, for he murderer his wife and her lover in bed. However, he was innocentas he said. The new days in the prison were hard to live. It’s violent, heartless and cruel. A month later, Andy began to make friendswith other prisoners. One of them called Red, who could get anything what he wanted. Andy bought a mallet from him and started his plan to escape. During this time, he did many things: expanding the library, caving stones, making tainted money for the prison governor, etc. It took him 20 years to tunnelsecretly and he successfully escaped from the prison. Before that, Andy had told his best friendRed that his dream---Zihuatanejo, a warm place without memory. After escaping, Andy lived a free life in another identity and made the prison governor arrested. Several years later, Red was approved to leave. He had lived inside for 40 years. He was institutionized. Sometimes he thought of getting back again as he didn’t belong the world, but he didn’t, for the promise to Andy. Finally, in Zihuyatanejo, they met.It is a good film. The cruel prison life terrified me and the friendship moved me. The story goes to a happy ending---redemption. 第二篇When I had finished watching the movie,I was excited and wanted to watch it again.Wheather the figures and details or the spirit that the music conveyed to."Hope is dangerous" Red had ever said,But Andy has always sticked to it.He didn’t cry when he was thrown into prison though he was innocent. On contrary, he found ways to kill long time to escape. He helped the head of the prison do the illegal things in order to gain some freedom. He rebuilt a library and helped the other prisoners. All the prisoners liked him, for he helped them find hope again. Perhaps it was time to escape, in a lightening and thundering night, he escaped from the prison through the holehe had dug for twenty years . He was free eventually .I like Andy ,for his talent and his wisedom . And the most important thing that I like is his spirit—never giving up.I have never seen such an amazing film since I saw The Shawshank Redemption. Shawshank encompasses friendships, hardships, hopes, and dreams. And what is so great about the movie is that it moves you, it gives you hope. Even though the circumstances between the characters and the viewers are quite different, you don't feel that far removed from what the characters are going through.

It is a simple film, yet it has an everlasting message. Frank Darabont didn't need to put any kind of outlandish special effects to get us to love this film, the narration and the acting does that for him. Why this movie didn't win all seven Oscars is beyond me, but don't let that sway you to not see this film, let its ranking on the IMDb's top 250 list sway you, let your friends recommendation about the movie sway you.

Set aside a little over two hours tonight and rent this movie. You will finally understand what everyone is talking about and you will understand why this is my all time favorite movie.

二、《肖申克的救赎》的影评
The story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable. When I heard the name of the film first time, I considered the Shawshank to be a man’ name, but in face it is a jail——a hell in the world. Not only for the inhumanity of the jailors——they behaved brutally; but also for the jail gnawed at people’ heart by keeping them waiting and waiting as life passed. It seemed that only those utterly worthless people who gave up everything could survive. That’s where the story happened.

The part impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jai. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom. At that moment, I saw the faith win the darkness, discharging light dazzling the eyes in the dark blue sky. Under the light, I could feel my recreant innermost being shivering as his voice said: “Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!”

That’s why I like this film: it encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most important is to keep hope forever. He once that is born, that is die. Everyone is the same. The only difference is whether busy living or busy dying. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and works his life right, then once is enough. The faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark, the hope is the chief happiness that this world affords, and the life should be full of the singing of the bird and the happiness hope brings. " What’s that do you think? It’s the trembling of the heart, the singing of the mind, the flying of the soul and the hope to be free.”
这个故事也许看似简单，但是其中的道理却是发人深思的。我第一次听到这电影的名字时，曾以为“肖申克”是个人名，但事实上它是一所监狱的名字--鲨堡。说它是人间地狱，不仅那里狱卒残暴，狱霸横行，而且它还侵蚀着人的心灵。生命在漫漫无期的等待中消逝，似乎只有那些行尸走肉般放弃了所有的人才能够活下去。
这就是故事的开始。最让我感动的是安迪逃出牢狱时候的情景。大雨滂沱之中他伸出手臂似乎在迎接新鲜空气和自由。此刻，我看见自信战胜了黑暗，其光芒照亮了深蓝天空中的眼睛。在此光辉下，我可以感觉到自己那颗怯懦的心在颤抖，似乎在说：记住，希望是好东西，也许是人间至善，而美好的东西永远不会消逝。
它激励人们为人类的尊严而斗争，为生命的美丽而感恩，最重要的是它让我们永怀希望。这就是我喜欢这部电影的原因。
有出生，就会有死亡，人人均是如此。唯一不同的是--忙着活，还是劳碌死。电影告诉我们，虽然人只能活一次，但是如果带着信心和希望好好地活，一次也就足够了。信心就像在黎明前看到曙光的鸟，而希望则是这个世界给我们的最重要的礼物，生命应该充满鸟儿的歌声和希望带来的快乐。
你认为如何你呢？我想这是心房的跳舞，思想的歌唱，灵魂的翱翔，以及对自由的渴望。

三、Have you ever known a famous experiment of the flea? In my point of view, I think it has

some commons with the film Shawshank Redemption.
First I'd like to introduce the experiment. It was an experiment about the flea. A zoologist

put some fleas in a glass cylinder,then used a piece of glass to cover it. At first every flea did

all it can in jumping. It must be painful.So after several times,they jumped a little lower,in case

of knocking the glass.After three days,when the zoologist took off the glass,he found that no

flea would jump out of the glass cylinder.Why? Because they got used to jump gently.
We can find the glass is a visible prison to the fleas,but they build an invisible prison for

themselves after three days.
The same with the film,the characters like the fleas in a visible prison which is called Shawshank.

There are three characters made a deep impression on me. They are Andy 、 Red and Brooks.

Though they are the same in the visible prison,they are different .The difference

between them is whether there located an invisible prison in their heart.
Brooks who lives in the Shawshank for fifty years.He likes the flea in the experiment,when

he gets the chance to leave Shanwshank, he chooses to threaten his mates in order to stay in Shanwshank.

But he fails,his only hope is broken.During the fifty years,he builds an invisible prison for himself.

I remember the first time I watched this film was in my senior high school,and I still remember

that I cried hard when I saw Brooks hung himself.At that time I thought it's the fault of the

society,but now I think it's the fault of the invisible prison.Red's words proves my point:"Man's

been here fifty years. This place is all he knows. In here, he's an important man,

an educated 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."”

It is the "institutionalized" put Brooks into the invisible prison.He has no hope in the

invisible prison,life becomes meaningless.He gets dying.
Red,is an man who can break his invisible prison.He is another kind of flea.

At first he likes Brooks,he build an invisible for himself.He told Andy that hope

is a dangerous thing,hope can drive a man insane,it's got no use the inside,you’d

better get used to that idea.At that time,he has already built the invisible prison

and broke his hope.He couldn't hack it on the outside.Been in here too long, he

is an institutional man now.Like old Brooks Hatlen was.In the prison he is the

guy who get it for the others.Out there, he wouldn't know where to begin. But

Andy's word influences him"get busy living,or get busy dying."At that time,Red

picks up his hope which breaks the invisible prison.When a man has the courage

to break the invisible one,let alone the visible one.At the end of film,Red get out

of the Shawshank and has a new life in the society with his hope! Red,may short

of the word"redemption",and he redeems himself.
Andy who is the hero in this film.And he is an amazing flea! There is no prison

in his mind.Shawshank is the visible prison which seems very sturdy .But he just uses

a small hammer to dig a hole,then he breaks the prison.19 years is a long time! But to Andy,his

hope supports him so that he can ignore the time! As the famous sentence goes hope can set

you free.I think another different between Andy and the others is that he never has an invisible

one in his heart.From the beginning to the end,he is free in his mind.That's why he can do what

the others cannot do! During the 19 years,he holds his hope,he still remember the hight which

he can reach.
The three man are three different kinds of fleas.The fleas tells us not to be prisoned in the invisible

prisons and remember hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever

dies.
We should set us free with our hopes!Let's break the invisible prison!

望采纳。

Ending of The Shawshank Redemption The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite film, it is a great movie and focuses on the themes of hope, freedom, friendship and inte- grity. I like the end of this movie, which is a happy ending--redemption. At the end of this film, Norton, the evil warden was revealed and get the due punishment--suicide, Red get the chance of parole until imprison- ed for 40 years, and Andy escape from prison by acrossing the tunnel dig- ged for 19 years surreptitiously and becomes a rich man lately. To ours e- xpectation, Red and Andy meet again in a small and beautify town called Zihuatanejo at the final scene of this movie, which deeply impressed me, it is so harmonious that Andy was repairing his boat at the coast edge, Red was walking to Andy happily. I can smell the freedom and happiness intensely when I watching this scene. The ending of The Shawshank Redemption proved that: hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies, what Andy write to Red. Besides this, I’m also get an inspiration that we sh- ould be an optimistic person and just do our best and insisted no matter what other people say and think.

非常好看，告诉人们凡事要继续努力，不要放弃，只要有希望就要尝试，如果不尝试就永远失败。
