It has been one year by now since I saw The Shawshank Redemption first time.Whereas,what I still remember clearly is Andy's intelligence,courage and the pursuit of hope which have been deeply rooted in my mind.My evaluating Andy is able to be boiled down to a word――strong.For instance,he who was falsely accused and convicted（犯罪）of the murder of his wife and her secret lover was sentenced to two life imprisonment（终身监禁，无期徒刑）. Although initially he was very isolated,lonely and hopeless，afterwards he employed his advantage over others as a banker to launder（洗黑钱）money for the wardenry（监狱长）instead of abandoning himself or yeilding to（向……屈服）destiny,winning him the respect of all people in Shawshank and demonstrating his worth.What's more,he unexpectedly spent 20 years tunneling（挖地道）secretly with a little hammer and he successfully escaped from the prison.In short,his strong soul saved himself.
Nevertheless,his strongness is less than my reverence（崇敬）for him.As Michael carried out,a stronger man save himself, a great man can save another.What I admire him most lies in his greatness of redemption for Shawshank.Firstly,he helped several warders（监狱官）exempt（免除，豁免）taxation to exchange ice beer for his friends,all of whom enjoyed rare and short freedom leisurely（轻松地，悠闲地）.Then,he kept writing letters to the government to ask for bankroll（资金）to develop the library and after nearly ten years,a new library appeared.Besides,regardness of warders' objection（反对）and punishment，he played The Wedding of Figaro in the radio room,letting the wonderful music which represents hope spread above Shawshank.Most impressively,he could have escaped early from the tunnal,but it was not until the wardenry killed Tommy who knew the real murderer that he ultimately resolved to escape to expose warders' cruel actions to the public and give back blue sky to Shawshank.
As far as I'm concerned,Andy is utterly（全然地，绝对地）different with other prisoners.Under no circumstance would he give up the pursuit of hope in the prison of life,so he is the incarnation（化身，典型）of strength in my mind.The film tells us no matter what happens, never doubt yourself and pursue our hopes and dreams.
经典台词:
Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all.Their feathers are just too bright.
有一种鸟是永远也关不住的，因为它的每片羽翼上都沾满了自由的光辉！
I guess it comes down to a simple choice:get busy living or get busy dying.
生命可以归结为一种简单的选择：要么忙于生存，要么赶着去死。
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things,and no good thing ever died.
不要忘了这个世界上还有可以穿透一切高墙的东西，他就在我们的内心深处，他们无法达到，也触摸不到，那就是希望。
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.A stong man can save himself.A great man can save another.
懦怯囚禁人的灵魂，希望可以感受自由。强者自救，圣者渡人。�
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things,and no good thing ever dies.
希望是美好的，也许是人间至善，而美好的事物永不消逝。
These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them,then you get used to them.Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalizing.
刚入狱的时候，你痛恨周围的高墙；慢慢的，你习惯生活在其中；最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它而生存。那就是体制化。
