《肖申克的救赎》(The Shawshank Redemption)取自斯蒂芬·金《不同的季节》中收录的《丽塔·海华丝及萧山克监狱的救赎》而改编成的《肖申克的救赎》剧本,并由弗兰克·达拉邦特执导,蒂姆·罗宾斯、摩根·弗里曼等主演。影片中涵盖全片的主题是“希望”,全片透过监狱这一强制剥夺自由、高度强调纪律的特殊背景来展现作为个体的人对“时间流逝、环境改造”的恐惧。影片的结局有《基督山伯爵》式的复仇宣泄。在IMDB当中被超过160万以上的会员选为250佳片中第一名。


The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. It was adapted from the Stephen King book Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The film tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who spends nearly two decades in Shawshank State Prison for the murder of his wife and her lover despite his claims of innocence 1. During his time at the prison, he befriends a fellow inmate 2, Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, and finds himself protected by the guards after the warden 3 begins using him in his money laundering 4 operation. The story ends on a beach in Mexico after "Red" spends forty years in jail.


 


Despite a lukewarm box office reception, it initially 5 did not recoup its budget. The movie was made at a cost of $25 million. It was re-released in 1995 during the Oscar season, and made an additional $9 million. Overall, it has made $28.3 million in theatres in the USA. It has since made more money in DVD sales. In March 2011, the film was voted by BBC Radio listeners as their favorite film of all time. It also tops the list of the Internet Movie Database.com's (IMDb.com) top 250 films of all time. The movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography. Unfortunately, it failed to win a single Oscar.
