A cinematic feast
Yesterday I went to the movie.
I watched two movies in a row.For the first showing,there were five people in the screening hall,and for the second one,I had the whole theater to myself.
I can't knock this,for me this is a feast of movie--'The Odyssey' and'The Shawshank Redemption'.
The Odyssey is a story about a man who has experienced The Troy War,from his view his return is not a hero's triumphant return-it's about trauma,guilt and redemption.The Shawshank Redemption tells a story of enduring hope,unwavering friendship,and the quiet triumph of the human spirit over institutional cruelty---Instead of my boring cliches,I want to use only one word to summary each film,HOMECOMING is for 'The Odyssey,'and HOPE is for 'The Shawshank Redemption'.
Now I will share some remarkable lines from the movies:
The Odyssey:
1-The clearest view of men is from below.
2-Don't look for gods in men;you'll always be disappointed.
3-It told you what you most want is what you most can't have.And what you most can't have is what you already had and lost.
4-You can't win with a perfect defense.
5-Coming home was never meant to be easy.If it were easy,home wouldn't be worth having.
6-When you have nothing left to lose,you see who stands beside you.
7-After years of war,no one could stand between my men and home.Not even me.
8-The power of the sacrifice is in the cost of the person making it.
9-Love's not a sacrifice.
10-What if we ran?There's a world beyond these walls.
11-You must give up yourself to the storm,give yourself to Poseidon...Give up control and live.
12-Zeus's law tells us to treat strangers as we'd be treated because they might be gods in disguise.
13-Next time think twice before you offer your life for an animal.
The Shawshank Redemption:
1-Hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things,and no good thing ever dies.
2-Fear can hold you prisoner.Hope can set you free.
3-Some birds aren't meant to be caged.Their feathers are just too bright.
4-That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away,and that place is called hope.
5-I guess it comes down to a simple choice:get busy living or get busy dying.
6-It takes a strong man to save himself,and a great man to save another.
7-They say the Pacific has no memory.That's where I want to live the rest of my life.
8-Salvation lies within.
9-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 dream.I hope.
10-On the outside,I was an honest man,straight as an arrow.I had to come to prison to be a crook.
