"Shawshank Redemption" officially launched in North America early this morning. According to the news from China, the average attendance rate in China in the first five days was 90%. Although it fell back in the following days, the decline was still not significant. You need to know this
But an ordinary movie without gimmicks is no better than the 3D and IMAX movies of "Transformers" and "Avatar".
That's not all. The news coming back from China is that this movie is great. China's Rotten Tomatoes score is as high as 9.9, which is the highest score ever!! And mtime's score is also as high as 9.8. And this score has gone from the first
It has been maintained on the 7th day, and there is still no change, very strong!!
Because many of Wang Shang's biggest fans couldn't wait for those seven days, they crossed the ocean and rushed to China to see it. It would be biased to say that there are regional differences in Chinese people's own evaluations, but Americans' evaluations can't be fake, right?
As a result, North American film producers and major movie theater chains took the initiative to increase the number of films from 7,000 to 8,500.
Los Angeles, Hollywood Studios, it is already 01:30 in the morning.
In the movie theater, the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" has shown a clip of the warden shooting the young man. This clip made every audience feel extremely angry.
"This warden is so hateful!!"
"This kind of person should go to hell!!"
“renzha~~(human*scum)!!”
The curses kept coming and going.
This movie gave them a strong sense of immersion, because many things in the movie are similar to those in North America. The Bible, redemption and other things resonated with them even more, but they did not expect this prison to use the Bible as its spiritual pillar.
The president was so heartless and crazy, and I never thought he would kill someone.
The movie continues...
"No matter what mistakes I made, I made up for it...a hotel, a boat, I don't want much..."
"I advise you to stop thinking about it. It's just your dream. Myanmar is far away, and you are here now! This is reality!!"
"Yes, this is indeed reality. It is on the horizon. And here I am, I think there is only one simple choice... either get busy living or get busy dying!!"
"Red, if you go out, please do something for me..."
Seeing this, all viewers understand that Shawshank wants to escape from prison. Many viewers will deliberately not read spoilers before watching the movie. They are all looking forward to how a person can escape from prison.
In the prison, Shawshank's inmates were talking, fearing that Shawshank would commit suicide. But the warden thought everything was business as usual and was not vigilant...
On a stormy night, Shawshank stole the ledger, decent clothes and shoes, and returned to his cell.
Thunder and lightning tore through the night.
In Jiang Ruide's words, it was a sleepless night, with only thoughts left in the lonely darkness...
At dawn the next day, the prison guards went around the ward, and were shocked to find that Shawshank was missing. The warden became furious.
When they tore open the picture that was held up...
"Wow!!!"
"Dig a hole to escape!!"
The audience exclaimed loudly, some were shocked and some were excited. Many viewers were trembling with excitement and couldn't help themselves.
It turns out that Shawshank had already started digging holes when he bought the duck-billed hoe and the illustrated magazine...
"I thought it would take six hundred years to dig a tunnel with a duckbill hoe, but Shawshank did it in less than twenty years."
Climbing through the dug tunnel, smashing the sewer pipes with rocks during lightning and thunder, then crawling 500 meters in the stinking, narrow sewer pipes, and finally escaping from the cage that I had been trapped in for 20 years in the heavy rain!!
Watching the protagonist standing in the heavy rain, raising his arms and letting the rain wash away, I don’t know why, but there is an indescribable feeling of discomfort and joy in my heart. This contradictory feeling keeps washing over every audience.
heart.
The music resounded throughout the theater, passionate and inspiring, just like the joy of a butterfly in its cocoon breaking through the pressure and emerging from the cocoon to fly freely among the rice fields.
At this moment, the audience did not cheer, but sat there quietly, quietly feeling the emotion. Their hands tightly grasped other objects, showing the instability in their hearts at this time.
In the end, the warden and the prison officer were reported by Shawshank, one committed suicide by swallowing a gun, and the other cried and got into the police car.
After Red had been in prison for forty years, he finally got the chance to be paroled with an indifferent answer. Like the old man in the library, he was used to and even liked prison. He was very uncomfortable with the life outside and even thought about going to prison.
He committed suicide like an old man in the library, and finally thought of Shawshank.
When the two met on the sunny beach, they both showed hope and happiness.
…
The next day, not surprisingly, most newspapers in North America published reviews of "The Shawshank Redemption".
"King, the great international commercial blockbuster director, has contributed to us a different kind of warm film this time. It does not have top-notch special effects, but only the touching hope." - "Newsweek".
"To use a sentence from the movie - human life is nothing more than leading from one cave to another world, and then continuing to tremble in the rain of that world. There are some birds that cannot be caged." - "New York Post".
"A dream about how a caged bird flies to freedom. Watching it gave me an illusion of rebirth." - "Hollywood Reporter".
"After the old man in the prison library was released from prison, even though the government had arranged everything for him, no one knew about his inner discomfort, fear and uneasiness. He had long been accustomed to the regimented life in prison, and the outside world still lingered in his memory.
During the year he was in prison, when he committed suicide, I felt so sad. Later, after Rhett was released from prison, he was arranged the same
He lived in the same place and had the same job. He laughed at himself and said that he could not squeeze out even a drop of water without asking for permission to go to the toilet. He was also terrified. I was afraid that he would also choose to commit suicide like the old man. When Red found Shawshank on the fishing boat, I almost burst into tears.
With tears in their eyes, they are finally free, the blue sky and sea are welcoming them, and the world is free for them to roam." - "Variety Show".
"Dreams and redemption, it's hard to find a movie that can better interpret the connection and true meaning of the two words dream and redemption than "The Shawshank Redemption". The movie has never brought such profound psychological shock and cleansing to people.
The two threads of the protagonist Shawshank and the black male lead Red create a story about the freedom to pursue dreams and the heart.
The best story of spiritual redemption. After watching the movie, I can't help but sigh. Compared with the experience of Shawshank, what are the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in our lives? This is the most heart-warming movie. In fact, life has always had dreams, even if
Even if you fail, as long as you can embrace your dreams, you will definitely be able to obtain the hope of salvation." - "Entertainment Weekly".
"Shawshank is a unique person. The prison officers are willing to invite prisoners to drink beer, play operas for prisoners, and even every conversation with the prison staff is a topic of conversation for other prisoners. They feel that Shawshank's actions
What he did was unimaginable." --Los Angeles Times.
"The death of Old Bu in the library undoubtedly shocked me deep in my soul. He was in a suit and leather suit, with a solemn expression, and his sculpting hands were shaking slightly. This old man who had been in prison for decades, once he left the cage of Shawshank Prison, he did not
He was not half overjoyed, but chose death. To him, a free and realistic society was like a prison without walls, more terrifying than a prison with walls.
I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep because of fear. I had no one to guide me and no one like me, so I couldn't adapt to this strange world. I stumbled into bagging goods in the supermarket, and every wrinkle on my face was filled with fear, and I was sinking in despair.
Sitting on a park bench, solitude is better than a small cell in a prison. My only wish is whether the free bird will come back to take a look at this lonely old man."
Surprisingly, all the major media outlets in North America gave positive reviews, with no negative reviews at all. This shocked every movie fan and shocked every filmmaker.
Is this movie really that good?
Countless people entered the cinema and watched movies out of curiosity.
The "Shawshank" craze quickly took over the entire North American movie market, and the attendance rate has remained above 90%. The theaters compared the other movies released in the same period and decisively cut off the screens of some movies to give way to "Shawshank".
Three days later, the number of screens for "Shawshank" increased from 8,500 to 10,000! It is almost comparable to the original "Avatar".
What shocked all North American filmmakers is that the score of "The Shawshank Redemption" on imbd is as high as 9.6! And the score continues to rise against the trend!!
Is it really as Wang Shang said at the beginning that this movie will occupy a high position on imbd?
However, this score has yet to be tested by time, because according to previous experience, the score will gradually decrease with each movie.
However, Wang Shang is very confident about this. There is no doubt that this is a great movie. And in Wang Shang’s opinion, this movie is much better than the previous one, almost perfect!!
In the past time and space, "The Shawshank Redemption" benefited from the battle between "The Godfather" and "Batman Dark Rises" and ranked first on IMD.
In this time and space, I don’t know if “The Shawshank Redemption” can reach the top spot on its own merits.
In the following month, "The Shawshank Redemption" was launched in major film markets around the world.
Thanks to the favorable reviews in China and North America, as soon as it was released in these areas, it welcomed countless movie fans. It even saved a lot of publicity, and the release was extremely popular, and all the movies currently being released were suppressed.
Can't lift my head up.
The reviews of "The Shawshank Redemption" in these countries are also very high, and countless fans were moved to tears by it.
Wang Shang has great expectations for this movie and watches the news from all over the world every day.
"The world is unanimously optimistic about it. It is estimated that this year's Oak Awards and next year's Oscars will not be awarded."
