The Fun Fact You Never Know about The Shawshank's Redemption

In 1994, it was known as the year when God wanted to see movies, because 36 movies from all over the world came out, and they were all classics that could not be surpassed.

Among them, "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction" and "Shawshank Redemption" are enrolled in the 66th The Academy Awards. In the world, the three pillars stand side by side. "Forrest Gump" deserves to win. Pulp Fiction, with its unique circular structure and multi-angle narrative, won the best original screenplay award, while Shawshank Redemption failed to win any of the 10 nominations.

Everyone is in the system. In the movie, there is an old man named Brook who went to prison when he was young and spent many years in prison. He was supposed to hate prison and want to escape. At that time, he made a surprising move. In order to remain in prison, he, who had always been gentle, attempted to commit another crime by killing with a knife in order to continue serving his sentence in prison.

After he was released from prison, he could not adapt to the society and died of depression. "The walls in the prison are really interesting," Red said when he learned of Brooke's suicide. When you first went to prison, you hated the walls around you. Slowly, you get used to living in it. Eventually you will find yourself having to rely on it to survive. This is institutionalization. 



At the end of the film, Red discovers that he can't even pee without a prison password, which is a ridiculous thing. It can be seen that institutionalization can even be internalized into the human body, so that you can immerse yourself in superficial stability for a long time, deprive yourself of self-consciousness, and become accustomed to all unreasonable systems. However, once an invisible prison is formed, it will stifle all yearnings for freedom and hope.

Before the criminal goes to prison, he says, "Give your mind to God and your body to me." Has everyone ever gone against his own wishes and been forced by social pressure to accept meekly? Some people say that Shawshank Redemption is just a reproduction of the escape legend of The Count of Monte Cristo. I don't agree. The reality of Shawshank is no less than life. Everyone is in a big or small prison, obeying more or less the system, but losing the ability to break through the collective shackles because of the environment.
