A cheap and reactionary film. There is no "redemption" here, but "hope" (the hope of what?). What happens the next day, when parole officers catch up with Red? What happens to bringing the real culprit of Andy's wife behind the bar? Where is the PTSD of an "institutional man?" There is no deep critique of prison economy here, nor that of America's CJS (all we have is a few corrupt officials outsmarted by a banker who of course ran away w all the money and is praised for it, sounds familiar?). The completely implausible "figaro" sequence cheapens the real struggle for freedom. All of this is the stuff of cheap Hollywood.
卡朋特的大师之作深受洛夫克拉夫特影响关键在于让观众不自觉地代入主角的角色再让主角的世界观一步步受到冲击最后彻底粉碎分不清真实的自我和自主意识挺进老妇的肉泬M48WXORG没有正确的记忆只剩下同样破碎的世界不可遏制地走向毁灭而自己只是一个作家笔下的角色只剩下写书人上帝般的绝对支配和沦为下一个物种的孩子们睡前故事的人类的过去而影片中又有这部影片我们又何尝不是影片里的观影人 最后“Don't try to understand it. Feel it.”感受这份癫狂与不可掌控的恐惧感受那小镇中的神秘与未知
