At the age of 20, Rhett was sentenced to life imprisonment in Shawshank for murder. 1947, he is 40 years old, and he is already a great talent in prison. He can get all kinds of things, cigarettes, brandy and even marijuana, which are forbidden to circulate in prison. Andy's knowledge made him friends with Rhett. He asked Rhett to help him with a hammer. ?

1949 housekeepers' recruitment of volunteers. Andy used his tax knowledge to help the warden successfully evade an inheritance tax, which made him start to look at Andy with new eyes. Later, he began to help all prison guards fill out tax forms, and later the warden's income tax return was also given to him. Later, the warden's black money was also transformed into wealth through Andy. ?

Andy was later transferred from the laundry room to the library to help the old boss organize books. He wanted to increase the funds for the library. After being rejected by the warden, he began to send letters to the state capital once a week. 1959 state legislators can't stand the harassment of Andy's letters twice a week. Finally, he gets $500 a year and other necessary support. Andy bought many books, expanded the library and educated the prisoners. ?

Soon Andy has stayed 10 years. Rhett was denied parole for the third time every ten years. Andy gave him a small harmonica as a reward, and Rhett gave Andy a pictorial of Marilyn Monroe.

Tommy, who committed theft, 1965 came to Sean to overcome his two-year sentence. By chance, Andy learned the real murderer from Tommy, and he immediately went to the warden Norton.

This is a film with depth. It's worth watching twice or more. It has no movie stunts and no sensory stimulation, but the shock to the soul is lasting; It has no romantic love between men and women, but the friendship between two men is equally touching; It has no soul-stirring fighting and chasing, but it can firmly grasp the hearts of the audience. ?

It is true that there are many defects and coincidences in the film that only happen in the film, such as 19 didn't change the cell, 19 didn't carry the poster, the coincidence of thunderstorm night, and the feasibility of Andy's money laundering action in reality. However, it is still a radiant film.
