Inside the studio of "The Tonight Show with Tommy."

Tom and Li Yi looked at each other in confusion again. The one before was a priest, so what is this one?

College Students?

"Are you really a college student?" Tom couldn't help but ask.

"Yes!" Nick said with a smile.

The other spectators below couldn't help laughing.

I had no choice but to call two audience members to come up, and each one made a longer speech than the other.

"So, what major are you studying?" Tom asked again.

"Film and media studies!" Nick said.

"Hahaha!"

This time there was another burst of laughter.

Isn't it? They are really professionals, so it's not surprising that when they went up, they talked a lot.

Of course, a movie is a movie, even if it is the "uncrowned king" in memory like "The Shawshank Redemption", it is impossible for everyone to like it.

However, the perspective of some negative reviews is very interesting. Strictly speaking, they should be regarded as complaints rather than negative reviews.

For example, one of the comments received a lot of likes.

What is written inside is:

"The Shawshank Redemption" has become very popular recently, and people who watched it were full of praises. For this reason, they also went to the theater to watch it again.

Different people may have different feelings when watching the same movie.

I have seen many comments written by people who think that the plot twist of the movie is amazing, that the movie has given people inspiration, that it is a very inspirational movie, etc., etc.

It seems that many people feel that they have been changed after watching the movie, but I want to say that that is just an illusion. People who think that they have been changed after watching the movie are using bullshit logic.

This is just a movie. Simply speaking from the plot of the movie, this movie is pretty good, but is it inspirational? Sorry, I really don’t feel there is anything inspirational about it.

On the contrary, my only feeling after watching the movie was that I finally found the reason for my depression in life.

For me, who is unable to change the current situation, my deepest feeling after watching this film is: "Talent and perseverance are both the best ways for anyone to gain freedom in any situation."

But there is a premise for this, you need to be talented, talented, talented!

Say important things three times, and you are still talented!

Andy, the male protagonist of the movie, who is he? He is originally an elite, and he is an elite among the elites. He is even more talented.

It is not universal at all, so for those who feel inspired and ideologically touched after watching the movie, what I want to say is that you have really been deceived. Of course, this is a movie.

I just want to say that each of us is more Brooks than Andy, not even Rhett.

First, let’s take a look at our leading actor, Andy Dufresne!

Who is he? It can be said that he is definitely young and promising. He is a young banker, and he also studies geology very much. He can also sculpt. Oh, MY GOD. If you have such a talent, congratulations.

You, you really just lack perseverance.

See how Andy turned the situation around in prison.

He heard Captain Hadley chatting with the prison guards and heard them discussing tax issues.

Come on, normal Americans, who doesn’t have a headache every year during the tax season? I still don’t understand those things.

So, if you don’t understand either, then congratulations, you are also an ordinary person!

But what about Andy? With his proficiency in bank financial knowledge, he not only won the safety of his life and some freedom in prison, but also won material and spiritual benefits for his fellow inmates. It is also because of his knowledge of finance.

The hero's mastery also allowed the male protagonist to completely defeat the cruel and insidious warden and gain material freedom for himself.

Look, if you don't know these skills and don't understand financial knowledge, in prison, at most you will be like Red.

Also, tunneling, gosh, all of us have the same idea as Red, right?

But what have we overlooked?

When Andy first asked Red for the hammer, it was really not for the purpose of escaping from prison, because he didn’t have that condition, you know?

If it were Rhett, would he understand? He knows nothing!

Why was Andy able to dig a tunnel? Because he discovered that the wall was some kind of rock that was easy to dig, and he began to have the idea of ​​​​escape!

Because this is a prerequisite! But if he didn't understand geology, would he still use this method to escape from prison?

Even if you want to, it will definitely be difficult to succeed!

On the other hand, look at the six years of unremitting application letters every week, the two application letters every week for N years, the tunnels dug out day by day with the stone ax that "cannot dig a tunnel in 600 years", amid the sound of thunder and lightning

The sewer pipes smashed with stones, the 500-meter-long stinking sewer that I crawled through while vomiting...all of this can be described in one word: perseverance.

Therefore, the movie actually tells us a cruel fact, that is, anyone who wants to finally gain freedom under the blue sky and white clouds must possess these two things - extraordinary talent and perseverance.

But on the other hand, if we have extraordinary talents and perseverance, then we may not need to think so much at all.

Therefore, "The Shawshank Redemption" is indeed a bowl of chicken soup in my opinion, but for us, it is actually a bowl of poisonous chicken soup.

He used the case of Brooks to tell us that without talent, even if you are outside, you can only do the lowest level of work, climbing from one wall to another.

So, he chose to commit suicide!

He also uses Rhett's case to tell us that without talent, even if he is in prison and is good at dancing, he will end up like Brooks. Of course, he still has another option, and that is to hug his thigh!

But is Rhett really free?

So, I finally realized why I am still depressed:

First: No talent that can be used

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When I was a child, I loved drawing and playing ball, but gradually, I discovered that I was not as good at playing ball as others, and I never mentioned the paintbrush again.

I studied medicine in college, but the days I spent studying medicine were spent learning guitar and reading. After working, I didn’t have time to practice guitar, so it naturally fell into disuse.

All along, I have been practicing calligraphy, seal cutting, sketching, comics, photoshop, flash, Dreamweaver, gardening... and other interesting things intermittently. However, no matter which one, it is typical

Although the reasons for giving up after trying a little bit are different, in the end, they all failed to persevere.

So, I'm basically the kind of person who knows a little bit about everything but doesn't know how to do anything.

Are you the same as me? Or I believe most people are like this, because we are so ordinary, so we are not Andy!

Second: No perseverance

In fact, it can be seen from the above that I have so many hobbies and so many attempts, but in the end I gave up halfway. If I could persist with any of them for half a year, the results would be very different.

I am a typical person who has no ambition but always makes up his mind. I have a notebook specially used for writing plans. I don’t know if others have such a notebook, but I have to create a small notebook like this because every day

After a while, the plans I made will be updated.

In fact, every time I make a plan, I hope I can keep doing it, but...

I knew that I was not sustainable, so after I made my latest plan, I solemnly wrote at the end of the plan: "I hope I can stick to it for three months" - as a result, a month later, these words came to my mind when I wrote the new plan.

I don't have the courage to look ahead.

In fact, many of us are like this. In fact, everyone knows the truth. Perseverance is very important. I remember watching a Chinese movie where a swordsman wields a sword a thousand times a day for ten years, and then he becomes a master.

, but how many people can do it?

So, it’s all bullshit!”

There are many comments below this movie review.

"OH, MY GOD! You and I are actually the same. We both know a little bit about everything, but we can't compare to others in anything!"

"Yes, "The Shawshank Redemption" is the story of a talented banker's escape from prison. In fact, if we think about it carefully, today's tycoons and successful people, even if they are in prison, live better than us outside prison.

!”

"So, he is a saint, and we are not even strong!"

"Well, actually when we watch a movie, it's like going to church for worship, a pilgrimage! We all know that God is powerful, but none of us can become God!"

"Then my years of skill...is it considered a talent? Is it considered a kind of perseverance?"

"Keep it up and you will become a god!"

Of course, such film reviews are always in the minority. In fact, movies are artistic creations. The characters in many movies are different from ordinary people. If he were an ordinary person, would so many people be interested in his story?

the answer is negative!

What's interesting is that Jack, the young pastor who appeared on "The Tonight Show with Tommy", also works part-time as a film critic.

I have to say that this person overturned Li Yi's impression of priests, pastors and the like.

In Li Yi's impression, most of the time, priests, priests and the like would rarely participate in such entertainment events.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Here in the United States, whether it is a priest or a pastor, it is even just a profession.

Jack has verified his account on the social platform. His dual identity as a pastor and a film critic, coupled with the broadcast of "Tommy Tonight Show", has gained him a lot of fans!
