Chapter 394

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

Glory to death from Denver to Albuquerque), then to Dallas (), and then to Oklahoma City (.), Hugo did not take the script from his backpack until he left Kansas City) Came out.

Hugo didn't look at the script's name directly, instead he turned to the middle page at random, and only looked at two or three lines, and he showed a surprised expression. Although the protagonist's name in the story is really ordinary, Andy and Rui Germany, but the content of their dialogue reminded Hugo of an absolutely classic masterpiece, "The Redemption of Shawshank." Hugo then turned the script to the first page, it was a blank paper, and then turned to the first page. After that, he immediately saw the name he was looking forward to: "Shawshank's Redemption", with two lines written below, adapted from Stephen King, authored by Frank Frat (frat)

In an instant, the feeling that the golden year of the 1994 movie was about to come was overwhelming.

1994 was hailed as the year when the best films gathered in the history of film. The classics all over the world exploded. In the usual years, it is very rare to find three or four works called "classic". You can find at least a dozen excellent works that can be called "classics". Among these many classics, "Shawshank's Redemption" is a very special one.

"Shawshank's Redemption" is about the banker Andy discovering that his wife had an affair. After being drunk, he planned to forcibly kill his wife and her lover, but he finally fell asleep because he drank too much alcohol. In the past, the next day, both his wife and lover were killed. To make matters worse, Andy did not remember if he did it by himself, so Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment, which means he will be in prison. Shawshank prison spent the rest of his life. But then Andy discovered that the real murderer was someone else, so he began the journey of self-salvation.

At the beginning of the film's release, the film was actually not favored by film critics. Many professional film critics criticized this work. They thought that the structure of the story was too simple, and the content was not deep enough, the commerce was not enough, and the literature and art were too simple. It's not literary enough, it doesn't seem to be inferior, and it's been criticized. Although with the release of the movie, people began to gradually realize the charm of this film, and professional film critics successively stood up to rehabilitate "Shawshank's Redemption", thinking that this is an excellent work.

I originally thought that "Shawshank's Redemption" would be submerged in many Hollywood movies, but who knew that when the end of the year, this work received a lot of calls, counterattack all the way, and it became the best film Oscar. In addition to the top five nominations, it also smashed a **** path in various important awards. It is a pity that due to the poor reputation of the early stage, the box office of the work was affected, and it was not able to further expand its influence. This also made "Shawshank's "Redemption" was not well-known in 1994, when the best films gathered.

Facing the "Forrest Gump" known as the epic of human sex, "Shawshank's Redemption" is far worse. You must know that the box office of "Forrest Gump" broke through the 300 million mark in the US, but "Shawshank's Redemption" The box office was only more than 20 million U.S. dollars. Such a huge gap made it impossible for "Shawshank's Redemption" to break through the blockade of "Forrest Gump". In the end, "Forrest Gump" dominated the Oscars that year, and at the same time made Tom Hanks two consecutive titles, and all other masterpieces became spectators.

Objectively speaking, the quality of "Shawshank's Redemption" is very good, but it is on the same level as the "Forrest Gump", and Oscar is of the age's nature, like "driving for Miss Daisy (., "Guess who is going to eat dinner (guess... and other films that were able to show'color' at the Oscars that year are all marked by a distinct era. Obviously, "Forrest Gump" is more in line with the aesthetics of the Oscars that year, so it won Of course.

But after the Oscars ended, many people began to complain about "Shawshank's Redemption". They only realized the beauty of this work at this moment, so countless comments began to applaud "Shawshank's Redemption" and thought of this movie. It should replace "Forrest Gump" to get the best picture Oscar. This late word-of-mouth storm made "Shawshank's Redemption" climb all the way, and eventually became the video rental champion for the whole year of 1995, which also made up for the box office. The terrible defeat brought about by the huge defeat on the Shanghai Film Industry made a lot of money for Columbia Pictures. Therefore, when "Shawshank's Redemption" was translated later, there was a translation called "Thirty-Five", which is a translation method for the occasion.

If the "Shawshank's Redemption" stopped here, it would at best be regarded as a strategic marketing success, but since 1995, "Shawshank's Redemption" has gradually embarked on the "best in history" position.

The Internet Movie Database (imdb) created in 1990 is the world's largest movie database on the Internet. It includes all Kiefer's movies and TV series after 1982. The imdb's data includes a lot of information about movies, actors and actresses. , Studios, content, reviews, etc., and this site also accepts ratings from a broad audience, becoming the largest platform for viewers to directly comment on movies.

&db has a very strict score calculation method, and relying on the vast platform of the Internet, it has also become a platform for audiences all over the world, especially the American audience, to directly respond to the views of movies. It has entered the first tenth of the 21st century. After the second half of the year, imdb scores, theater scores, and media reviews have become one of the most important data to measure the reputation of a movie.

&db's two hundred and fifty best movies (.250) list after years of cumulative scoring and selection has become the most authoritative list in this database, and the most rated movies have reached 900,000 viewers. After scoring, it can be seen that this list is fair and'sex' in the hearts of movie fans.

Unlike "Citizen Kane (, which is highly tuned and vacant, and holds the highest position in the hearts of professional film critics, imdb's two hundred and fifty best films are both refined and popular. There are commercial films and artistic films, which directly reflect the audience's aesthetics.

In this list, "Shawshank's Redemption" achieved a high score of 9.2, overwhelming the audience and film critics unanimously regarded as the "godfather" of film history classics. It has held the champion of the list for more than ten years. This is really true. An incredible thing. Since imdb launched its 250 best film list, the three works "Shawshank's Redemption", "The Godfather" and "The Godfather 2" have accounted for the top three in the list, and there has been no change in more than ten years.

From this we can see the unshakable status of "Shawshank's Redemption" in the hearts of the audience. This work relies on the record of as many as 900,000 points on imdb, and is hailed as the "best in film history" in the eyes of the audience. In fact, although "Shawshank's Redemption" is regarded as a classic, it does not rank so high in the hearts of film critics. Many professional film critics do not see this work in the list, but as long as it is the audience or On the list of movie fans, this work will always be in the top ten, or even the top five.

This is the real "redemption" of "Shawshank's Redemption". From the beginning, it was not favored by film critics, and the box office was also disastrously; to the midterms of the recovery of word-of-mouth, so that it broke into the Oscar selection; and then to the next word-of-mouth counterattack. In the end, it surpassed the "Forrest Gump" and became a representative work of the 1994 classic that cannot be ignored.

It's hard to imagine that such a work hailed as a classic by countless people only had a box office of 28 million US dollars when it was released. The investment cost is just surpassable.

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

Speaking of "Shawshank's Redemption", one has to mention his screenwriter and director Frank De Labont. Frank's position in Hollywood is very interesting. Just as Joseph worries, Frank didn't have any success before "Shawshank's Redemption." Suffered from bad reviews.

However, the "Shawshank's Redemption" was rehabilitated and became a classic. But Frank was not a prolific director. It was not until five years later that he adapted Stephen King's work "The Green'Color' Miracle" again. He won a great reputation and rewards. But after that, Frank's work was lacklustre. In 2007, the "'mis' fog (the. was even more **** criticized.

It can be said that in Frank's career, there are only "Shawshank's redemption" and "green 'color' miracle" worth mentioning, and there are only five works in his own resume.

It stands to reason that Frank will soon disappear in Hollywood, where talents are endless, but who would have thought that the 2010 series "The Walking Dead'meat' (.dead made him an executive producer. Frank's name goes down in history, making him a magnificent and splendid note in the history of cable television, even more splendid than "Shawshank's Redemption"~www.mtlnovel.com~ Therefore, Frank is very interesting, his works are rare, and his works are rare. Few, but it happens to occupy a very important position in film history.

I have to say that "Shawshank's Redemption" is a very special existence in the history of film from the work itself to its creators.

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

The reason why "Shawshank's Redemption" can be regarded as a masterpiece is because the theme of the movie can always touch people's hearts, that is, hope, freedom and friendship. This makes the work exudes a deep light of human 'sexual' and makes people 'fascinated' by it.

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