25 years of classic re-screening, "Shawshank's Redemption" behind the scenes to understand the full analysis

"Shawshank's Redemption" is keen on concise and full four-act mirrors, and everything gives way to the story. The four-act mirror likes to cut in from the long opening, sometimes with a prologue mirror, if it is a two-person dialogue, it is often pushed forward and backward. Flexible and simple with a long lens, it is different from the rigid

first lens of a fixed long lens. The opening lens of the split field is a sports long lens, which presents information in an orderly manner and explains the spatial relationship. The

secondary mirror is a link between the previous and the next, with repetitive movements to reduce the sense of time and space cutting. The

mid-mirror, one or several lenses before the tail mirror, continue to pave the way, and the energy is accumulated to a critical point. The

tail mirror, the last mirror of the split, the total burst of energy, presents the theme.

What's interesting is that in the period when Rhett was released from prison, the older ones were very similar, but the two ended up completely different. And this is the method of comparative editing. From the perspective of the details of the film, the contrast montage is also used properly.

After being released on parole, Bu and Reid lived in the same room, did the same job, and had the same thoughts, thinking that they did not belong to the outside world, and wanted to return to Shawshank Prison, but the two ended up completely different . It deeply reveals one of the themes of this film-no matter what kind of predicament people are in, they must have hope in their hearts and full of desire for a beautiful and free tomorrow. The soundtrack of

is just right.

kicks off the film with the music "If I Didn'T Care". This song is a soft song by the famous jazz group the Ink Spot in 1939. The protagonist Andy sits at the opening. In the car, Andy took a sip of wine, then loaded the revolver, hesitating whether to kill the wife who had fornicated with the golf coach. The name of this song means that if I don’t care, this song is It highlights Andy's angry and tangled mood at the time.

As the car escorted Andy drove towards Shawshank’s door, the music "Shawshank Prison (Stoic Theme)" gradually entered. At this time, the camera overlooks the entire prison with a large panoramic lens, and then descends, Shawshank’s internal situation comes into view, behind With Andy's vision, he took pictures of the cold prison, highlighting the gloomy depression of the prison, and the alternating use of bass instruments and orchestral music also strengthened the atmosphere at this time.

​​"Suds On The Roof" Andy pledged to help the prison guard Harley fill out the tax exemption form and get a part of the inheritance left by his brother, in exchange for the result of three bottles of wine for each colleague. This piece of music matches the warm yellow sun in the picture very well It interprets what Reid said, "the sun shines on the shoulders, like a free man", and gives people comfortFeelings.

"The Marriage of Figaro", Andy ignored the obstruction of the guards and warden, and reverberated the music through the playground. He sat in a chair and enjoyed the leisure of this moment. As Reid said, The singing went straight to the clouds, surpassing the dream of a frustrated prisoner, like a bird flying into the cell, making the stone wall disappear without a trace. The chief criminal Shawshank seemed to have regained his freedom, and was fined for two weeks in confinement, but at that moment Andy’s A sense of refreshment came out spontaneously, I think he didn't care about the two weeks of confinement.

At the end of "End Title", Rhett and Andy met on the beach of Zihuatanejo, embracing each other with excitement. The melodic orchestral soundtrack, a sea, a beach, a boat, a tearful one Hug, this magical combination is goosebumps, let me feel the theme of the whole film-the power of hope, and the theme of the film is also hope and redemption.
