\"Old Testament. Book of Isaiah, \"said:\" Zion will redeemed for a fair, which will certainly be a result of the Reformed justice in the redeemed. However rebellion and crime will decline; abandonment will

perish.\"

It

is

said

that

is

where

the

word\"Redemption\"originated.According to rough statistics, in the \"Book

of

Isaiah

\

redemption

appeared

over

16

times .Obviously, it is a symbol of the practice of Christianity and has such an important significance that in religious era, \"redemption\"became the key word in western spiritual world for its clear directivity.

In 1990s,the famous director Frank Darabont seemingly unintentionally extracted the banker's story from \"Four Stories in Spring\".Then, a great movie named \"The Shawshank Redemption\" emerged.It is a redemption story in the age of faith losing.

Then, in this film, Darabont wanted to show who redeem

whom?

Before Andy comes to Shawshank , the topics in prison are fighting or killing time.Confusion, fear, despair, dirty make a disgusting environment and prisoners have no human rights here. After Andy comes in, this young banker who does not gave in his destiny at least has brought a hint of hope. Though he still does not have the ability to change the situation of being oppressed,the hope which he bring to everyone has never existed before.we have to say that Andy is a poetic hero made by the director.Darabont presents the character clearly through several \" HOPES\". maybe Andy himself is just a figure in the hope,.But through his own efforts, we can see the changes in every aspects. One of the most obvious changes is from Red. It is difficult to imagine if there is no appointment between Andy and Red,can Red adapt to the society after being institutionalized for such a long time.Due to their appointment, Red insists until he finds the destination of his hope--freedom. Real freedom is freedom of soul.Obviously, this is a redemption to Red from Andy. Another significant change is from Tommy who passes the exam for high school under Andy's inspiration.In the library established by Andy, people temporarily forget the oppression, violence, fear and life

with peaceful enjoyment brings hope to each individual. Yes.\"Hope\" redeemed \"freedom\". it is a redemption in a reconstructed modern civilization .we can not rely on the unreal savior but ourselves. Mandela said: \"the heart is one's strongest part.\" If our hearts don't cease, hope will always exist.

Finally, I want to use the letter written by Andy to Red as the ending:

...... Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.And no good thing ever dies ..... Since you have come this far, maybe you'd come a bit further. Reference:
