最近重新看了一遍与《阿甘正传》同年角逐奥斯卡的一部大片《肖申克的救赎》。拍摄于1994年的《肖申克的救赎》（The Shawshank Redemption，影迷通称为《刺激1995》），几乎永远是影迷心中的经典、电影论坛里不过时的话题、影碟店内的畅销货、IMDB网站上的前三名。这是一部看后能带来很多有意义的思考的现实主义题材电影，它揭示黑暗，也将希望、自由和友谊晒于暖阳之下。忙着去活或是忙着去死？(Get busy living or get busy dying)，《肖申克的救赎》把生命变成了一种残酷的选择。肖申克的救赎是我们简单的生活中值得一再回味的东西。相信自己，不放弃希望，不放弃努力，耐心地等待生命中属于自己的辉煌，这就是肖申克的救赎。很喜欢里面的一句话：“A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.（强者自救，圣者渡人）”。强者完成自我救赎，寻找精神乌托邦（Utopia）。―――――――――――――经典台词：

Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.

懦怯囚禁人的灵魂,希望可以令你感受自由。强者自救,圣者渡人。（经典之极，没得说）

Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.

监狱生活充满了一段又一段的例行公事。（凡生活，大都如此吧）

Andy: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 institutionalized.

安迪：这些墙很有趣。刚入狱的时候,你痛恨周围的高墙;慢慢地,你习惯了生活在其中;最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它而生存。这就叫体制化。（谁能活在“体制”外？一针见血！）

I find I'm so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

我发现自己是如此的激动,以至于不能安坐或思考。我想只有那些重获自由即将踏上新征程的人们才能感受到这种即将揭开未来神秘面纱的激动心情。我希望跨越边境，与朋友相见握手。我希望太平洋的海水如同梦中一样的蓝。我希望。（为希望而活）

I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

人生可以归结为一种简单的选择:不是忙着活,就是忙着死。（无出其右的经典）

Red: There's not a day goes by I don't fell regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stump your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth,I don't give a shit.

Red:我无时无刻不对自己的所作所为深感内疚,这不是因为我在这里(监狱),也不是讨好你们(假释官)。回首曾经走过的弯路,我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么,告诉他我现在的感受,告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是,我做不到了.那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里,只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人?骗人罢了!小子,别再浪费我的时间了,盖你的章吧,说实话，我不在乎。（感伤乎？）

Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright...

有的鸟是不会被关住的，因为它们的羽毛太美丽了！（似乎在重复咱们祖先的名句）
