老劇雖然製作粗糙，但氣韻不凡，別有歡樂。劇中虎狼之詞頗多，譬如喬美人“金錢和權勢是愛情的補品，大補！”等不一而足，20年後回頭看，仍然覺得有意思。

確實經典，就是人信念的力量吧，真佩服男主的腦袋

在現在一片站女主和公主的呼聲集，我還是喜歡女主和她最後在一起的那個男的

A cheap and reactionary film. There is no"redemption" here, but"hope" (the hope of what?). What happens the next day, when parole officers catch up with Red? What happens to bringing the real culprit of Andy's wife behind the bar? Where is the PTSD of an"institutional man?" There is no deep critique of prison economy here, nor that of America's CJS (all we have is a few corrupt officials outsmarted by a banker who of course ran away w all the money and is praised for it, sounds familiar?). The completely implausible"figaro" sequence cheapens the real struggle for freedom. All of this is the stuff of cheap Hollywood.

故事和審美都是自洽的，但這樣去拍勞工題材，起碼讓我覺得非常無力。
