I love how healthy Andy looks at the end. So full of vitality and capacity to receive his travel worn friend. A friend who is at his edges of receiving life. And Andy is there to embrace him like a brother. It's just so epic
Subscribed as soon as I was done watching. No over reaction, no excessive talking, and you weren't constantly bewildered. You actually just...reacted, excellent.
I have the exact exact opposite view, she needs to develop a personality. I'm not clairvoyant, I can't read her mind. Just attentively watching with a poker face don't do much for me. I like those other reactors you dissed, although there are some that aren't attentive enough.
That’s not what reaction means you goof.
I thought i was subscribed after watching her 12 Angry Men reaction. I had seen that movie but shockingly never saw Shawshank so when i saw Sheila was reacting to it i thought id watch since ts my first time. If i decide i want more ‘reaction” then I’ll watch others. I have my favorite reactors some talk a lot more some over react to the littlest of things, some comment on direction and camera work. Some reactors i have been disappointed under react to some scenes in movies
@20:00mins "i hate those birds." Crows and ravens are some of the smartest birds around. Not only do they make good pets, but in the wild they are "professional garbage- disposals". They are problem solvers and they can recognize people's faces, even years from the last time they see this person. History gave them a bad name. But, we all have fears of feral animals, no matter what kind of animal they are. Mine is dogs. Go figure!
In the yard Red tells Andy, "Mexico is a shitty pipe dream" precisely what Andy crawled through to achieve it. I love that the warden held Andy's bible with the rock hammer inside in his hand and gave it back saying, "Salvation lies within". Later we see that the section Andy hollowed out to hide the hammer begins on page one of The Book of Exodus.
Truly enjoyed rewatching this masterpiece with you. Looking forward to more.
The page marker of the Bible was in "Exodus".
You don't notice but the camera angles/shots is very well done because Tim Robbins (Andy) is 6'5". You don't see him towering over anyone. The only scene that hints that he's tall is after he polishes the wardens shoes the bars open up and he ducks to walk through with the guard behind him.
That's something I've never thought of before. He's even taller than Clancy Brown (Hadley), and you feel like Hadley has that imposing presence over him anyway.
He towers over the rock n' roll kid like crazy.
I love this movie. I've seen it several times along with numerous reactions. Thank your for a great subtle review!
😊No nonsense intro: "Alright, here we go."👍
It was such a great period in movie history when we look at how many brilliant movies came out around that time.
Sadly the 2020's have bought mostly rubbish & whilst they blame covid & cost living for the down fall of the cinema experience, the reality is there is nothing being released that makes people want to go to the cinema's regularly.
Thanks for reacting to this awesome move ❤
Good reaction. I like that you don't talk endlessly over the movie dialog like some others do. And I also wonder where the really good story tellers are these days. I'd like to suggest three movies to check out - "Pulp Fiction", "Fight Club" and "The Sixth Sense". There are lots more great movies, but these three are fantastic.
Have not seen Pulp Fiction yet, so I'll def be reacting to that! The others I've seen. Thanks for watching, keep the recs coming too!
One of the few films that humanizes prisoners.
@@bonchbonch such a good point. 👌
28:04 "You better be sure about that"
me: **smiles calmly** "oh, don't you worry"
It's very seldom that I comment on reactions but you did a wonderful job . Thank you for this and God bless you.
Love your subtle reactions your eyes are very expressive. ❤
😊 thank you!
I always enjoy watching "The Shawshank Redemption". I've come to appreciate the screenwriting, the performances, and the wonderful score. Thank you for a heartfelt reaction.
There is a film, "Gattaca" (1997), which you might enjoy. On its face it appears to be a science fiction story but it's actually a story with a universal message.
I really appreciated your comments about films....on what they can be, and how they can be made. I am 76 years old, and one of the "losses" I experience now, compared to "the good old days", is thoughtful film making, with the attributes you mentioned.....
Good one, Shiela! This is such a great movie. There are two more really good films adapted from Stephen King stories that you might enjoy as well, The Green Mile and Stand By Me. In fact, the story for Stand By Me comes from the same book as The Shawshank Redemption. If you haven't seen those two you should add them to your someday list Thanks for sharing this one.

For Westerns, with your film background in mind, suggest you include some from the golden age of westerns (1930s-1960s). There are many from this era. In no specific order: The Searchers (1956), The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), High Noon (1952). Others have recommended Westerns after 1965, when the Western genre changed. Nothing wrong with them, I enjoy many of them myself. You'll be able to see how the Western genre changed.
This is my GOAT movie. I have yet to see any film that I'd rank higher for me.
This is the measuring stick and they all wind up short.
More more more! I'll watch every one! Thanks for this.
This is a great story but it's Morgan Freeman's narration that makes it a classic. I think Stephen King said he thinks the movie is better than the book simply because of Morgan Freeman. You have a subtle reacting style but I like it.. I can tell you're really taking things in so it has more impact when you have something to say.
Some recommendations.. The Fugitive (1993), The Pelican Brief (1993), My Cousin Vinny (1992)
I aways liked seeing Golden Age actors like James Whitmore late in their careers in (then) current movies. A couple others were Sylvia Sidney in "Beetlejuice," Burt Lancaster in "Field of Dreams," Mickey Rooney in "Night at the Museum," etc.
They kept him in because he was laundering corrupt money for the warden. If he got out not only would it stop but the warden be at risk
I love this reaction! I just found you and I subscribed! Hope you have a fabulous day! 💜✌🏼
Thanks for subbing!
Glad you understand the meaning of this fim. Redemption, Love, Friendship, HOPE. P.S. This film is rated as a Masterpiece and is the best film ever made. So when you feel down watch this film again. I am a 71 old pensioner. 2024 and still watch this. Dave in Guernsey, Channel Islands.
1994 was arguably one of the best years for films in a long long time far back as I can remember. Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Dumb and Dumber, The Mask , Natural Born Killers, Speed, Ace Ventura and True Lies just to name some. However, Shawshank was Best Picture worthy and was nominated but nothing stopped 'Forrest Gump' that year.
Pulp Fiction coming soon!
Watch : Cool Hand Luke 👍
I was gonna say you are a very tough cookie as you didn't seem to get emotional with Brook's death scene but at the end you did, which was so nice to see. Don't worry about ahowing your emotions while reacting to certain movies, it's normal and many of us who even have watched those movies many times cry on certain scenes every time we watch. As long as the reaction is honest n real it's well appreciated by your viewers. Certain reactors, knowing that viewers like certain things tend to exaggerate showing the emotions and that ruins it for the viewers tbh. You are doing fantastic and i'm sure you will become many viewers favorite for your sincere, not talking too much n such, reactions.
The Green Mile is another masterpiece, the people behind it, Stephen King n Frank Darabont, are the same ones behind the Green Mile. Two other favorites of mine is The Last Samurai n Interstellar, wonderful movies
Westerns:
1. The Shootist, staring John Wayne.
2. Pale Rider, Clint Eastwood
Thanks for the recommendations!
@@SheilaReactz Oh, my pleasure. I also specialize in movies from the 80’s,90’s & 2000’s. Just tell me what type of movies you like and I can get you some great ones that few other people have reacted to.
Great movie. Great reaction........tear running down your face was....."perfect".............thanks for sharing.
Terrific reaction...subdued..subtle, sophisticated... nuanced...I hope your channel mushrooms...you have a new subscriber....👌👍
Still one of the best ones - if not the …
I don't think Andy was planning his escape 'all along'. He had Red get him the rock hammer for his hobby just like he said. Then one of the first things he did with it was carve something in his wall. That's when he ACCIDENTALLY discovered his wall was rotten and soft. THEN he began to hatch his plan. He wasn't even working for the warden yet. He asked Red to get him his first poster THEN got attacked by Boggs and the sisters for the last time. After that, things began to fall into place. The one thing about his plan that I think held the MOST risk is believing he'd be able to break into the sewer pipe with a rock. I'm sure he could see signs of degradation but still, making a hole big enough to get inside? He bet EVERYTHING on it.
Another one to cry over is another Stephen King story…with Tom Hanks…The Green Mile..if you believe in angels…
In the Steven King short story Red's crime is disclosed. It was withheld in the movie to make his character more likeable. Red is a triple life'er. Red took out huge life insurance policy on his older wife, and rigged the brakes on her car to fail. Red didn't count on his wife picking up her friend and baby daughter that day, and the resulting crash killed all three. BTW, Red in the book is a short, stocky, balding white guy with red hair. And he's Irish. There are numerous detail differences between the movie and the book, and it's one of those rare cases where the movie is better. The book is Red's recollection of Andy, and his story doesn't come out in chronological order like it does in the movie. Andy's motivations in the book are different, and they don't have the satisfactions that the movie brings.
I am as sorry as you are movies like these aren't made anymore, but on the good side, you have lots of masterpieces to discover.
I do indeed! What are some of your favorites?
@@SheilaReactz City Lights by Charlie Chaplin, many more filmed in the era we live in.
@@stephanetrembley6180 YES, city Lights, a must see. It's Chaplin's best movie IMHO
Best movie ever
You mentioned at the beginning that it is like O.J. Simpson. Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman we’re not lovers. They were friends so it is not like the O.J. Simpson case as Ron had the misfortune of arriving at a murder in progress.
3:44 So a key plot point begins in _this_ scene. Andy is assessing Warden Norton and Captain Hadley and reaching the conclusion, "These fellows do _not_ have my best interests at heart."
41:06 The escape was _one_ key development. Here's another.
41:18 And here's the last one.
You know the most incredible part of this story? At its heart does _not_ lie a story of romance, but a story about _friendship._ At this point in his life, Andy probably doesn't have _any_ better friends than Red and Red probably doesn't have any better friends than _Andy._ And when I see the friendship that exists between them, I see the kind of friendship I think we should _all_ be so lucky as to have, one day.
Yes, we need more stories like this. Thanks for sharing your analysis!
I watch for the tear.
Just two simple, enjoyable, thought-provoking words for you: Sling Blade.
Enjoyed watching this.
Good job. 👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching!
22:22 "It's weird for them to... like being in there."
"Like" is not the word. A lot of sad things happen, in this movie, but I would have to say about the _saddest_ is what happened to Brooks.
When he was first sentenced, in 1905, he was 22. As one of the few prison inmates with a college degree, he quickly managed to maneuver his way into the position of prison librarian. That's the role he's played ever since.
But it's now 1955. It's been 50 years. Outside, there's been two world wars and the Great Depression. The first radio transmission has happened. The first TV transmission has happened. Before he was locked up, as he explained in the narration, he had seen _one_ single car, and when he was released, they were _everywhere._
What roads were paved in 1905 were paved with cobblestones, but most of the roads across the US were still dirt. When he was released, there was an interstate highway system and most roads were paved with asphalt because the cars in existence traveled a lot _faster_ than the one he had seen before he was locked up.
The world from which he was taken is _gone._ Now he probably could've adjusted to all this if he had still had his _youth,_ but he's in his 70's, now. He's at an age that, nowadays, one is granted Social Security benefits and moved into some kind of retirement accommodations because the general consensus is that one is well past one's prime working years.
So something has gone _seriously_ wrong when they set him up with a re-acclimation program that has him living in a _halfway_ house and bagging _groceries._
39:02 "Is there a hole... behind the..."
Hey, now. No fair skipping ahead.
39:21 Now, here, I want to call attention to a key detail that, at first, seems kind of surprising. See, Andy has to have been working on this hole for _years._
Now it's no surprise Warden Norton knew nothing about it. Norton is the main guy Andy had to _hide_ it from.
It's also no surprise that Captain _Hadley_ knew nothing about it. He and Warden Norton are operating an _enterprise,_ together. If Hadley had found out, _Norton_ would've found out.
The surprise lies in the fact that Red didn't know, _either._ Years and years and years of digging this hole and Andy told _no_ one about it, because of a well established fact. As the old saying goes, three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
The more people who know a secret, the harder it is to keep. If you want to keep a secret, _keep_ the _secret._ Andy stood to gain absolutely _nothing_ from Red knowing, so Red didn't know.
Well thought out stories. Characters. Great acting 👏?? The Deer Hunter 🦌..Casablanca , Flirting, Local Heroe. Topsy Turvy, Accidental Tourist, Away From Her. Great reaction. Beautiful 👧
Why did you cut the most emotional dialogue of the whole movie (the bit after Andy gets back for playing the music)?
Merlin, Top Gun
Well done. But crucial situations at the end were simply avoided or not shown. What a pity
Give Casablanca a try. It is as good as this one with more fun but a deep meaning.
Yup, I've seen it. Great movie!
Well done!
Good start Sheila!
Great reaction, Mrs. Rose.
"I hope."
For the record $35,000 in 1948 equals $459,000 today.
This is an odd request since sometimes reactors talk too much, but I think you should talk *more*.
And I suggest turning on closed captioning.
A classic movie about friendship and hope, and believing in yourself. Like your attentive reaction and feelings. Have on DVD myself. Hope you will enjoy other classic films and maybe Star Trek tv series from the 60's, Mr Spock!
💯❤
You're pretty, great reaction by the way.
Westerns you asked for 1. SILVERADO 2. QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER 3. TOMBSTONE 4. UNFORGIVING 5. THE QUICK and THE DEAD. The five all time classics. 1. John Wayne in "SONS OF KATIE ELDER" and "THE COWBOYS" 2. Henry Fonda in "WARLOCK", "THE OXBOW INCIDENT" "MY DARLING CLEMEMTINE" "FIRE CREEK" 3. Kirk Douglas in " Last train from GUN HILL", THE WAR WAGON" "GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL "
Just to clarify, number 4 should be "Unforgiven" which is Clint Eastwood's 1992 masterpiece (he both directed and starred in the film). It won four Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director. Also I would add "True Grit" (the 1969 original with John Wayne, who won an Oscar for his performance, not the 2010 remake).
Sheila, if you need a short musical theme composed for your channel, holla at ya boy!
You’re beautiful when you cry..and though I wish you wouldn’t , I would never ask you to stop, because…that’s honest emotions…as honest as you can get..and that’s what I am at this very moment..just being honest..keep the faith..and remember ..that you’re special…
🤨
Quiet beauty watching great movies..you intrigued me, so I hit the button…maybe you will pop up again…saw you watching 12 Angry Men…now this…
7-23-24.
You have a pretty smile. Use it more often.
Good one 😊
Small black girl who's busty with a great smile...
Sign me up!
Chill out dude
@@keaton9003 Oh wow...
A White Knight triggered by the comment section of TH-cam?
How do you guys still exist?
Too little of the film. Critical moments missing. Not a good reaction vid.
Relax, Spielberg.
I tend to agree but it looks like she's new at this. She'll get a lot better with key moments and more commentary. She has what most reactors don't: a calm personality and a pretty face. 😁
