The comeback is the best in 394 history.

Hugo received the script from Joseph that night, but he didn't read it at all, and Neil helped collect it next to the fax machine, then bound it up and put it in Hugo's backpack.

Glory to Death from Denver to Albuquerque), then to Dalias, and then to Oklahoma City. City), Hugo didn't get the script out of his backpack until he left Kaierock, Kansas.

Hugo didn't look at the name of the script directly, but turned the middle page at random, only looked at two or three lines, and then 'revealed' a surprised expression, although the name of the protagonist of the story is really ordinary, Andy and Red, but the content of their dialogue reminded Hugo of an absolutely classic masterpiece, "The Shawshank Redemption", Hugo then turned the script to the first page, which was a blank piece of paper, and then after turning the first page, he saw the name he was expecting: "The Shawshank Redemption", with two lines of words written below, Adapted from Stephen King, written by Frank Drabant.

In an instant, the feeling that the golden year of 1994 cinema was approaching came to my face.

1994 is known as the year of the best films in the history of film, and the classic masterpieces from all over the world have exploded in full swing, and it is very rare to find three or four works known as "classics" in previous years, but in 1994, you can find at least a dozen masterpieces that can be called "classics". And among this large number of classics, "The Shawshank Redemption" is a very special one.

"The Shawshank Redemption" tells the story of Andy, a banker, who found out that his wife was having an affair, and after getting drunk, he originally planned to kill his wife and her lover, but he ended up falling asleep because he drank too much alcohol, and the next day, both his wife and lover were killed, and what's worse is that Andy can't remember whether he did it himself, so Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment, which means that he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank Prison. But then Andy discovers that the real murderer is someone else, so he begins a journey to redeem himself.

At the beginning of the film's release, it was actually not favored by film critics, and many professional film critics criticized this work, they thought that the story structure was too simple, and the content was not deep enough, the business was not commercial enough, and the literature and art were not literary enough. Although with the release of the movie later, people began to gradually realize the charm of this movie, and professional film critics also came forward one after another to vindicate "The Shawshank Redemption", believing that this is an excellent work.

originally thought that "The Shawshank Redemption" would be drowned in many Hollywood films, but who knew that at the end of the year, this work got a lot of appeal, counterattacked all the way, and actually became the top five nominees for the Oscar for Best Picture, in addition to the bloody road in various important awards, but unfortunately, due to the bad reputation in the early stage, the box office promotion of the work was not able to further expand, which also made "The Shawshank Redemption" In 1994, when the best films were gathered, it was not famous at all.

In the face of "Forrest Gump", which is known as the epic of human "sex", "The Shawshank Redemption" is far inferior, you must know that the box office of "Forrest Gump" in the United States exceeded the 300 million mark, and the box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" was only more than 20 million US dollars, such a huge gap made "The Shawshank Redemption" unable to break through the blockade of "Forrest Gump" at all. In the end, "Forrest Gump" dominated the Oscars that year, and at the same time, it also achieved Tom Hanks's two consecutive Best Actor titles, and all other masterpieces became spectators.

Objectively speaking, the quality of "The Shawshank Redemption" is very good, but it is also on the same level as "Forrest Gump", and Oscar is 'sexy' of the times, just like "driving for Miss Daisy (driviiss. Daisy)", "Guess who's coming for dinner. io。 dinner)" and other films were able to show their 'color' in the Oscars that year, and there are distinct marks of the times, obviously "Forrest Gump" is more in line with the aesthetics of the Oscars that year, so its victory is a matter of course.

But after the Oscars ended, many people began to complain about "The Shawshank Redemption", and they only realized the "brilliance" of this work at this moment, so countless comments began to applaud "The Shawshank Redemption", thinking that this movie should replace "Forrest Gump" to win the Oscar for Best Picture, this belated word-of-mouth storm made "The Shawshank Redemption" climb all the way, and finally became the 1995 annual video rental champion, which also made up for the fiasco caused by the huge failure at the box office, Let Columbia Pictures make a lot of money. Therefore, when "The Shawshank Redemption" was later translated, there was a translation name called "Thorn 'Radical' Ninety-Five", which is a translation method for the occasion.

If "The Shawshank Redemption" had stopped there, it would have been a strategic marketing success at best, but since 1995, the "Shawshank Redemption" has gradually moved to the "best in history" position.

Founded in 1990, the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) is the largest film database on the global Internet, which includes all Kiefer's movies and TV series after 1982, and includes a lot of information about the film in IMDB's materials, actors, sets, content, reviews, etc., and this website also accepts the ratings of the majority of audiences, becoming the largest platform for audiences to directly comment on movies.

&db has a very strict score calculation method, and it relies on the vast platform of the Internet, and has also become the platform for the world's audiences, especially the American audience, to respond most directly to the views of the movie, after entering the second half of the first decade of the 21st century, IMDB scores, theater scores, media comprehensive evaluations, etc., have become one of the most important numbers to measure a movie's reputation.

&db After years of cumulative ratings, the 250 best films (TOP. The 250) list has also become the most authoritative list of this number of Jù Curries, and as many as 900,000 viewers have rated the films with the most ratings, which shows the fairness and 'nature' of this list in the hearts of movie fans.

Unlike works such as "Citlzeetropoiis", which occupy a high position in the hearts of professional film critics, IMDB's 250 best films are both elegant and popular, both commercial and art films, which directly reflect the audience's aesthetics.

In this list, "The Shawshank Redemption" with a high score of 9.2 beats the "godfather" who is unanimously recognized by the audience and film critics as a classic in film history, and has held the top of the list for more than ten years, which is really an incredible thing. Since IMDB launched the list of 250 best films, the three works "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Godfather", and "The Godfather 2" have occupied the top three on the list, and there has been no change for more than ten years.

It can be seen from this that "The Shawshank Redemption" has an unshakable position in the hearts of the audience, and this work relies on the record of as many as 900,000 people on IMDB to score it, and is known as the "best in film history" in the eyes of the audience. In fact, although "The Shawshank Redemption" is regarded as a classic, it does not have such a high position in the hearts of film critics, and this work cannot be seen on the lists of many professional film critics, but as long as it is a list selected by the audience or movie 'fans', this work will always be high in the top ten, or even the top five.

This is the real "redemption" of "The Shawshank Redemption", which was not favored by film critics from the beginning and failed miserably at the box office; In the middle of the word-of-mouth recovery, so much so that it broke into the Oscar selection; and then the next word-of-mouth counterattack, and finally surpassed "Forrest Gump" and became a representative work of 1994 classic masterpieces that cannot be ignored.

It's hard to imagine that such a work, which has been hailed as a classic by countless people, only had a box office of $28 million when it was released that year, not to mention compared with the box office of more than 300 million yuan in "Forrest Gump", and even its own investment cost was only exceeded.

Therefore, "The Shawshank Redemption" has also become a very special work in film history.

When it comes to "The Shawshank Redemption", we have to mention his screenwriter and director Frank Delabant. Frank's position in Hollywood is very interesting, as Joseph worried, before "The Shawshank Redemption", Frank did not have any achievements at all, and this film is also his directorial debut 'female', but unfortunately it was met with bad reviews and sniping when it was released.

However, "The Shawshank Redemption" was later rehabilitated and became a classic, but Frank was not a prolific director, and it was not until five years later that he adapted Stephen King's work "The Green 'Miracle'" again, which won him rich fame and rewards. But after that, Frank's work was lackluster. 2007's "'Fog' (the. mist)" was even more criticized for being bloody.

It can be said that in Frank's career, only "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green 'Miracle'" are worth mentioning, and there are only five works in his own work resume.

It stands to reason that Frank would soon disappear from the talent-hungry Hollywood, but who would have thought that the 2010 series "Walking the Walking of the Dead." dead)" and made Frank, who was an executive Zuò person, famous in history, and made him leave a magnificent and brilliant mark in the history of cable television, even more brilliant than "The Shawshank Redemption".

Therefore, Frank himself is very interesting, his works are scarce, and there are few good works, but he occupies a very important place in film history.

I have to say that "The Shawshank Redemption" is a very special existence in the history of cinema from the work itself to its main creators.

If you ask Hugo's opinion, he thinks that "The Shawshank Redemption" is a masterpiece and can be regarded as a classic, but whether it can surpass "Forrest Gump", whether it can surpass "The Godfather", whether it can surpass "Citizen Kane", everyone has their own opinion, and Hugo personally thinks the answer is no.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is a masterpiece because the theme of the film always touches people's hearts: hope, freedom and friendship. This makes the work exude a deep human 'sexuality' light, which makes people 'fascinated', but as for the ranking among countless works in film history, it is a matter of opinion.

Personally, Hugo still likes the work "The Shawshank Redemption", and the desire for freedom and the analysis of human 'nature' in the story really left a deep impression on him.
