"I swear, if they don't show us them together on a beach in Mexico, I'm gonna be very disappointed." Funny thing, you aren't the only one who thought that. Audiences actually did not get to see them on the beach together in the original version (I believe it ended with Red on the bus), but test audiences were all upset and wanted to see the two friends reunited at the end. So, the filmmakers went back and filmed that last scene after-the-fact, and we all got that satisfying ending.
@@ColetteCherry Most Wardens today are 100% the same mentality, they just use more subtle methods. All about the status, money and the title. Politics! I am a guard at a prison.
The brilliance of this movie is in how they take you from a happy moment to sadness then to being inspired and then to being horrified….. back & forth, back & forth … it’s an emotional roller coaster.
Fun fact: In the novel version, Red is physically portrayed as a middle-aged white Irishman with grayish red hair. The director wanted Morgan Freeman for the role due to his deep voice and appearance.
The biggest mindfuck of this movie is that the actor who plays the hard-ass guard Hadley is the same guy who voiced Mr. Krabbs in Spongebob. Let that sink in.
Clancy Brown. He was the voice of Savage Oppress in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He was in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. He was the drill instructor in Starship Troopers.
Andy is so well-written! He starts out a blank slate who is only revealed through his actions, since we don’t get an internal monologue like we do from Red. He is a very smart man who plans ahead and takes advantage of unexpected events like Hadley’s windfall and the name carving revealing weak concrete, but his instinct to take care of others is developed during his time in prison. You keep thinking that he is building the library to get insight into how to escape, but he’s just looking out for his fellow inmates. I just love to think that Tommy’s wife and baby daughter got an unexpected envelope of cash delivered to them after Andy escaped.
Either this woman is like the most intuitive movie watcher ever or she knows the stories of these movies beforehand cuz she picks up on like EVERY detail correctly.
It's my job to analyze films and I do take it very seriously. I analyze the details. head over to patreon.com/colettecherry for all the uncuts where you can see how i better breakdown the scenes
@@turbots. It’s probably snippets here or there. This movie, like a lot of others, are always on tv. Eventually seeing the whole movie without actually watching the movie. I feel bad for reactors like this not watching these growing up, before off hand conversations overheard, pop culture, and other sources subliminally “ruin” a movie for them. There’s plenty of movies I’ve never watched, but I know all the key points to them because of those reasons I pointed out above. I’m a cinephile also. Plus I have an excellent memory. Anyone had a question about a movie, who was in it, plot, etc…., they’d call me. Pre-Internet-in-your-pocket, of course.
I live 30 mins from the old prison they shot this movie at. The tours are so much fun. Every year there is a haunted house there during the season as well as a massive music/tattoo festival in the summer. Mansfield prison is an amazing place.
I read this "short novel" by Steven King in the mid-80's, same book where the movies adapt "Stand by Me" came from. I went to see this film in the cinema, just knowing the two lead actors,....and I realized I read this story. I am from south Ohio, They filmed at an old prison in central Ohio. I lived on the cast of Maine, a few months, where King is from, and this prison is set,. like many books by King. Living in Maine, helped me understand some of King's books. I showed this movie to my Dad, about four years before he died. Dad cried several times, and at the end -he was so happy the two men met, away from Prison.
One of the things that I love about Stephen King's universe is that there is almost always a connection between stories. Shawshank State Prison is one of those things mentioned in several books, TV shows, and movies. It gives girth to the world and makes everything seem bigger. I know at the same time Andy Dufresne was locked up, there was an abandoned cell block with one prisoner in a cage. The cage was under the ground. The prisoner was a child who the warden thought was the devil.
I too noticed that this story was by Stephen King, one of few non-horror stories. He also wrote "The Green Mile" which is also a great story and film. He really is a talented writer especially when it isn't horror.
Congratulations! You just watched the film with the most satisfying ending ever. This film is brilliant. Very few people who watch this film have been to prison, but how many of us have been trapped in toxic relationships and jobs we can't stand? Probably all of us. We all need hope in life. Tim Robbins is also great in "Mystic River" (2003). Another great film adaption of a non-horror Stephen King story is "Stand By Me" (1986). It is definitely worth checking out.
one plot hole could be the pipe he crawled out of. Solid pipe for a long distance and full of sewage would probably have too little oxygen for him to make it all the way to the end before passing out and expiring.
@@darrellyounyvski591 Nah, as long as air could get in both ends, he'd be okay. The problem is the spout of sewage when he breaks it. It was clearly full, so why would it drain at all? The end was wide open, so for it to be full, there would have to be a LOT of sewage constantly entering, so it would never drain. The other thing I don't like is the sound it makes when he hits it. That's not the sound of something that's going to break. One day I'm going to overlay a bunch of pre-made scores so it would break with one hit, change the sound, and remove the scene where the sewage sprays up. I might also remove the line "Including her" and cut some of the delay, so he throws the chess piece far sooner. And I don't like the reaction of the guard who checks Andy's cell. If he was hangin there, the guy would see it immediately. Why's he gotta slowly scan the whole cell before saying "Oh my holy God"? It's weird how all the sketchy bits are centered around that one moment
@@ashscott6068 for it to spout up it had to be under pressure so the upstream end was not open to the air plus like you said, it had to be fairly full. That low oxygen environment would not be something he'd make it slowly through for 500 yards crawling.
@@darrellyounyvski591 But it also wasn't under pressure, because after that spout, it was just a dribble. That's the problem: It's gotta be one thing or the other. Removing the spout makes it make sense. And with it emptying into a nearby stream, there's no reason for the whole system to be anything other than entirely powered by gravity.
Regarding Richmond, Virginia: My 8th maternal great-grandfather, Major William Mayo, laid out the first street grid for Richmond, VA, in 1738. The 14th St Bridge in Richmond was initially named Mayo's Bridge. General Lee's retreating army burned it down in the Civil War after the fall of Petersburg in 1865. A decade earlier, Mayo surveyed & mapped the boundary between NC & VA. The expedition traveled 237 miles west from the cedar post on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean to the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. The map is preserved at UNC Chapel Hill.
Wow. You’re getting in on so many key points right now!!!! Just got to you breaking down “hope” super early in the reaction. Also thanks for sharing you have your own experiences concerning the prison system. You never know someone is going through. Awesome reaction so far
You can tell right at the beginning of the film that Andy was innocent. Because of his mannerisms and also it sets things up for this to be a great movie.That's the first thing i noticed the first time i saw this. This was an intelligent reaction.😊
A couple of cool details I realised recently: you hear a harmonica play in the OST when Red is approaching the tree at the end. Also, when Brooks leaves prison the camera is in front of him looking at the prison, but when Red leaves, it is facing out to freedom :)
Colette back in 2005-2006 I worked security for the tv show Prison Break where the first season was filmed. Filmed at Joliet Prison Illinois. I got to talk to all the actors. I have proof of everything. I have some day scripts, a parking think from Chicago to park in the city for free. I also have a dvd from Wade Williams he made filming one word or less. I had a lot of fun working security for the show because I met all the actors. A couple actors remember me on social media. The Joliet Prison was shut down in Illinois back in 2002. It is one of the oldest prisons in Illinois. When meeting Dominic Percel I said hi to him. He gave me dirty looks. I tried to say hi again. Gave me another dirty look. I never said anything to him throughout half the season. I accidentally said hi to him. Dom said hi back which i wasn’t expecting. He became a cool person after that. The coolest actors I met on set was Peter Storemare, Muse Watson, Marshall Allman, Stacey Keech, I made a joke to Frank Grillo and a few days later he made a joke back to me and got back at me for the joke. Amazing person. Other actors I met were amazing too but too much stories to tell lol
I didn't know you haven't watched this movie. I'm happy to watch your reaction to this as well. as someone who lives alone and doesn't have anyone to watch movies with, watching people's reaction to movies feels kinda like watching it with them, and this brings me joy. thank you for doing this. btw, if you haven't watched 'The Green Mile' watch and react to that too. that's another decades-old fantastic prison movie, by the same writer, and the same director.
The full title for the story is "Hope Springs Eternal: Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" which immediately points to several plot points and themes before they make sense. Great story and a great movie.
Great Reaction...... (Standard Comments, So some of these might have already be mentioned)..... They changed/modified the title of the movie cause when it was leaked they were Prepping for "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" the Production Office was flooded with Actress's wanting to play Rita...... "Serve Two Life Sentences Back to Back"...... For a life sentence you may be released on Parole after serving 20 Years, So Andy would be eligible for parole after 40 years...... The Picture on Redd's file at parole hearings is Morgan Freeman's son.... Redd Saying "Maybe, Cause I'm Irish" is directly from the book, where the character was a Red-Headed Irishman..... $370,000 in 1969 is equal to $3,196,800 in 2024...... The Book ends with Redd on the Bus...... "Test Screenings" showed audiences wanted to see Redd and Andy reunited, so they created the Beach scene..... Both "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" were written by Stephen King and Directed by Frank Darabont.....
The song Andy played over the P.A. system was called Duettino Sull'aria Le nozze di Figaro which can be found here on youtube if you want to listen to it th-cam.com/video/CQ8ZHilxdm8/w-d-xo.html It is from the opera "Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)" Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte Performed by: Edith Mathis and Gundula Janowitz
Empty wagons (and barrels) make the most noise. Andy was so Zen and calculated the only time we really see him get emotional is when the warden gives him a month in the hole. People have accused me of being icy just like Andy, but I think I get better outcomes by keeping a cool head.
The more reactions of your's I watch, the more I find myself hoping you'll guess things wrong and get more surprises. But you're pretty on point all the time. Have a great day.
I think they did the narration to help adapt it from a book. Books basically have two main types of writing, exposition and action. The narration in the movie is like the exposition in the book.
Last name Cherry, here. I've been down the rabbit hole of watching random reactions videos both of this, and Terminator 2, and was delighted to have stumbled across another "Cherry".
I highly, HIGHLY recommend The 2002 movie, The Count Of Monte Cristo. The book the movie is biased on is over 150 years old and still one of the best stories of revenge ever written.
It’s a wonderful film that I keep watching. I too love all of the themes in it. The acting is excellent and the locations were soo good. I love your reactions as you dissect them so well
My dad worked in the state Reformatory. It was supposed to reform criminals. They had an award winning dairy, farm, metal working shop, and other work training opportunities.
Great film. Thanks for your thoughts. I must say you are sharp. One of the smartest reactors to this, or any other Hollywood motion picture. Liking your style a lot. Thanks, Love. See ya on the next. Peace. Later.
This movie is sometimes in my top one film. I say sometimes because I don't usually like to admit a preference once I think of a movie as being absolute top tier like Shawshank or Godfather 1/2 or Jaws or Das Boot or a couple of handfuls of other phenomenal films. But if I do admit to a single favourite, it will be this movie. I love Andy's throwaway line on the roof where he refuses one of the beers he secured for the roofing team because he gave up drinking. His wife died when he was drunk. Did his drinking contribute to a breakdown in their relationship? We won't ever fully know. He considered committing the crime he served time for even if he didn't do it. And we didn't even know at the time he says that whether he did it or not. So Andy may have hated almost losing control and giving up drinking may have so much more significance than just face value. Even if it didn't, he secured a reward for his team, even when he had no intention of benefitting from it himself. And that still tells us plenty about him.
The white powder is/was used for "delousing", an attempt to kill any small insects (like lice, fleas, and others) someone could bring into the prison by not being well cleaned before entry.
This was based on Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption from Stephen Kings Different Seasons book of novellas. The stories had seasonal themes. This one was "Hope Springs Eternal" 2 other stories from that book were also made into films. Apt Pupil and the film of the same name. The other was The Body which was made into Stand By Me.
New sub just now. I've watched two movies with you so far and it's easy to see the warmth in your heart. God bless you, and stay strong. You can do it. I balled my eyes out again, last night watching Saving Private Ryan with you - . about the 50th time watching and crying when Wade dies trying to take that radio tower. "Mama, mama. I wanna go home, I wanna go home" 😭😭
You called much of it. Yet, Andy didn’t need redemption Red a true murderer did. And Andy helped him to get it. This is my favorite. “Goodfellas” has great narration too.
nah that movie is really overrated and should not be in anyones top 5 :D maybe top 250 (if we don´t count like 15*Xmen, up to 25 times JB, 6+ times star wars, 8*HP, 6* lotr/hobbit, ~8*MI, 4* john wick, 3*batman from nolan and so on... then it would make it. maybe even a top 100 place can be reasonable if u don´t count any good movies from the same franchise twice but definetly not top 5)
The Shawshank Redemption is my number 1 favorite movie of all time. Fun Fact: The Mug Shot of Young Red was actually Morgan Freeman's son. In the book Red is an Irishman. The Director Frank Darabont also directed The Green Mile another great movie. If you haven't seen Count of Monte Cristo, its a really good movie.
Jail is a holding facility.. your local drunk tank, short 1-2 or 3 months sentences, and where you stay while waiting to go to court.. bigger city nails can be more like prison, but prison is where people get sent to STAY, for longer sentences.. prison isn't always worse than jail, but usually is..
20:45 "It's interesting that I automatically took Andy's side." Everybody does it. We always take the hero's side. The hero is usually the most famous actor or if nothing else, the central person a movie or TV show is about. So when the hero is just nobody, or even when the hero is a bad person, we're always on their side and we even get mad when good people don't treat our hero right. Like the way we get mad at all the other characters who don't listen to Ripley even though none of them should. To them, she's nobody, but to us she's the "hero". Or the way we cheer for Walter White even when he's causing people, even innocent people, to become addicted to his drugs and, some of them, die. Not to mention 3 whole movies where we take Anakin's side even when we know exactly what's going to happen to him. Etc. It's hero-syndrome. If the actor is the hero, or anti-hero, of the story, we take their side, even if they're bad people.
This movie had me convinced that every prison has a kindly black man who can get your posters, weed, booze, naked lady playing cards, rocks, and rock hammers 😂😂
The film originally ended with Red on the bus going to find Andy... they added the last scene to show them together. You definitely need to watch the Green mile if you haven't already.
I’m a full time actor and I’m writing two scripts. I have studied film and acting. This is my job. I’m good at my job. You don’t have to buy it, that’s not why I make these videos. I do it for my love of filmmaking and cinema 💖
I love the Brooks Hatlin character in the movie, but his characterization in the novella is a lot darker. In the novella, he's in prison for brutally murdering his wife and daughter after a bad night of gambling. Also, in the novella, he doesn't commit suicide. Instead, he dies about a year later in a retirement home.
He replaced goose, as Merlin, in Top Gun!! Again with Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds, and s bit part in Austin Powers 2, and my all time favorite music/relationship movie, High Fidelity!

Good film, but never understood how it gets to people's top.
Love how Red said Andy's Zehuantenejo plan is a "shitty pipe dream," and Andy crawls to freedom through a sewer pipe.
haha i never thought of that. a shitty sewer pipe at that
the lack of oxygen in that 500 yards of sewer pipe probably would've killed Andy

They changed/modified the title of the movie cause when it was leaked they were Prepping for "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" the Production Office was flooded with Actress's wanting to play Rita......
"Serve Two Life Sentences Back to Back"...... For a life sentence you may be released on Parole after serving 20 Years, So Andy would be eligible for parole after 40 years......
The Picture on Redd's file at parole hearings is Morgan Freeman's son....
Redd Saying "Maybe, Cause I'm Irish" is directly from the book, where the character was a Red-Headed Irishman.....
$370,000 in 1969 is equal to $3,196,800 in 2024......
The Book ends with Redd on the Bus...... "Test Screenings" showed audiences wanted to see Redd and Andy reunited, so they created the Beach scene.....
Both "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" were written by Stephen King and Directed by Frank Darabont.....
The song Andy played over the P.A. system was called Duettino Sull'aria Le nozze di Figaro which can be found here on youtube if you want to listen to it th-cam.com/video/CQ8ZHilxdm8/w-d-xo.html It is from the opera "Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)"
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte Performed by: Edith Mathis and Gundula Janowitz
Brooks' death was the saddest death in this entire movie, the poor old man deserved better in the world outside the prison
You know he was in jail for murdering his wife and daughter after a bad night at the poker table right?
@@yew2oob954 yes I do, that still makes me feel sorry for him when he gets out of prison but wants to stay
Tim Robbins is an AMAZING and UNDERRATED actor. PLEASE watch the Hudsucker Proxy!
Empty wagons (and barrels) make the most noise. Andy was so Zen and calculated the only time we really see him get emotional is when the warden gives him a month in the hole. People have accused me of being icy just like Andy, but I think I get better outcomes by keeping a cool head.
The more reactions of your's I watch, the more I find myself hoping you'll guess things wrong and get more surprises. But you're pretty on point all the time. Have a great day.
I think they did the narration to help adapt it from a book. Books basically have two main types of writing, exposition and action. The narration in the movie is like the exposition in the book.
Last name Cherry, here. I've been down the rabbit hole of watching random reactions videos both of this, and Terminator 2, and was delighted to have stumbled across another "Cherry".
I highly, HIGHLY recommend The 2002 movie, The Count Of Monte Cristo. The book the movie is biased on is over 150 years old and still one of the best stories of revenge ever written.
It’s a wonderful film that I keep watching. I too love all of the themes in it. The acting is excellent and the locations were soo good.
I love your reactions as you dissect them so well
This goes with The Green Mile....
Written and directed by the same pair (Frank Darabont & Stephen King) as The Shawshank Redemption.
My dad worked in the state Reformatory. It was supposed to reform criminals. They had an award winning dairy, farm, metal working shop, and other work training opportunities.
Great film. Thanks for your thoughts. I must say you are sharp. One of the smartest reactors to this, or any other Hollywood motion picture. Liking your style a lot. Thanks, Love. See ya on the next. Peace. Later.

This movie is sometimes in my top one film. I say sometimes because I don't usually like to admit a preference once I think of a movie as being absolute top tier like Shawshank or Godfather 1/2 or Jaws or Das Boot or a couple of handfuls of other phenomenal films. But if I do admit to a single favourite, it will be this movie.
I love Andy's throwaway line on the roof where he refuses one of the beers he secured for the roofing team because he gave up drinking. His wife died when he was drunk. Did his drinking contribute to a breakdown in their relationship? We won't ever fully know. He considered committing the crime he served time for even if he didn't do it. And we didn't even know at the time he says that whether he did it or not. So Andy may have hated almost losing control and giving up drinking may have so much more significance than just face value. Even if it didn't, he secured a reward for his team, even when he had no intention of benefitting from it himself. And that still tells us plenty about him.
The white powder is/was used for "delousing", an attempt to kill any small insects (like lice, fleas, and others) someone could bring into the prison by not being well cleaned before entry.
This was based on Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption from Stephen Kings Different Seasons book of novellas. The stories had seasonal themes. This one was "Hope Springs Eternal"
2 other stories from that book were also made into films. Apt Pupil and the film of the same name. The other was The Body which was made into Stand By Me.
New sub just now. I've watched two movies with you so far and it's easy to see the warmth in your heart. God bless you, and stay strong. You can do it. I balled my eyes out again, last night watching Saving Private Ryan with you - . about the 50th time watching and crying when Wade dies trying to take that radio tower. "Mama, mama. I wanna go home, I wanna go home" 😭😭
You called much of it. Yet, Andy didn’t need redemption Red a true murderer did. And Andy helped him to get it. This is my favorite. “Goodfellas” has great narration too.
Hi Colette, The place looks nice😮. Love your reaction to this movie your reactions are always the best❤
nah that movie is really overrated and should not be in anyones top 5 :D
maybe top 250 (if we don´t count like 15*Xmen, up to 25 times JB, 6+ times star wars, 8*HP, 6* lotr/hobbit, ~8*MI, 4* john wick, 3*batman from nolan and so on... then it would make it. maybe even a top 100 place can be reasonable if u don´t count any good movies from the same franchise twice but definetly not top 5)
The Shawshank Redemption is my number 1 favorite movie of all time.
Fun Fact: The Mug Shot of Young Red was actually Morgan Freeman's son. In the book Red is an Irishman. The Director Frank Darabont also directed The Green Mile another great movie. If you haven't seen Count of Monte Cristo, its a really good movie.
Sitting here, clicking like/unlike to watch it go from 999 to 1K and back again! It's the little things that make me happy!
Best reaction channel
Colette Cherry reaction day always makes me happy
I’m so glad you saw this movie ! I just found your channel, and I’m loving your content.
You should check out 12 angry men next !

From what I read, Red was a white Irish man in the book, the cast Morgan Freeman for the role and left the line in, which makes it a bit funny.
He (Andy) seems cold and shut off from his emotions." You're pretty good at this. I enjoyed your reaction. You have another subscriber, Colette. 📽🎞💙
In the Novel, Red's final words in the Monologue is where Stephen left us, but the Movie had to give us Closure.
Masterpiece movie, I love Morgan Freeman's speech when he gets released .. and .... Brooks Was Here ❤
Brooks (James Whitmore) was a great actor. His story here is so sad.
I hope you get in touch with those you've not contacted in a while.
OMG, I think this is the best film I've ever seen. Adore this! Haven't watched the reaction yet, but I hope you like it! It's intense.
Guard: -"Morgan... You're Freeman now"
The booking photo of Red is actually Morgan Freeman's son. His son is also in the crowd when the fresh inmates are brought through the gate.
"why do they call you Red?"
"maybe it's because I'm Irish?"
in the book he has red hair :)
Jail is a holding facility.. your local drunk tank, short 1-2 or 3 months sentences, and where you stay while waiting to go to court.. bigger city nails can be more like prison, but prison is where people get sent to STAY, for longer sentences.. prison isn't always worse than jail, but usually is..
What a great reaction. Thanks. 😃👍🏾
Dude Colette how tf do you get prettier every video 🔥
The "Count of Monte Cristo" is a really amazing book by Alexandre Dumas who also wrote "The Three Musketeers". For me it's my favourite novel.
For some reason... when Red says... I just miss my friend..... it makes me tear up....
I like how exodus was the bible chapter when the warden opened the book

What a great movie! Sad but an awesome jaw dropping story! I’m glad you chose this next film !
20:45 "It's interesting that I automatically took Andy's side."
Everybody does it.
We always take the hero's side.
The hero is usually the most famous actor or if nothing else, the central person a movie or TV show is about.
So when the hero is just nobody, or even when the hero is a bad person, we're always on their side and we even get mad when good people don't treat our hero right.
Like the way we get mad at all the other characters who don't listen to Ripley even though none of them should. To them, she's nobody, but to us she's the "hero".
Or the way we cheer for Walter White even when he's causing people, even innocent people, to become addicted to his drugs and, some of them, die.
Not to mention 3 whole movies where we take Anakin's side even when we know exactly what's going to happen to him.
Etc.
It's hero-syndrome.
If the actor is the hero, or anti-hero, of the story, we take their side, even if they're bad people.
To think this ending almost didn't happen! This would be an entirely different movie without them reuniting
The guy that plays the leader of the sisters is one of the soldiers in the movie Aliens.
This movie had me convinced that every prison has a kindly black man who can get your posters, weed, booze, naked lady playing cards, rocks, and rock hammers 😂😂
The film originally ended with Red on the bus going to find Andy... they added the last scene to show them together. You definitely need to watch the Green mile if you haven't already.
To me, it doesn't get better than Tim Robbins as Andy Dufrane. Sublime performance.
PM LES'T DISCUSS PRIVATELY ABOVE!
just admit it you already watch the movie before , it's very obvious
I’m a full time actor and I’m writing two scripts. I have studied film and acting. This is my job. I’m good at my job. You don’t have to buy it, that’s not why I make these videos. I do it for my love of filmmaking and cinema 💖
The court scenes were filmed in the County courthouse where I live and the actual Shawshank prison was in Mansfield Ohio.
I love the Brooks Hatlin character in the movie, but his characterization in the novella is a lot darker. In the novella, he's in prison for brutally murdering his wife and daughter after a bad night of gambling. Also, in the novella, he doesn't commit suicide. Instead, he dies about a year later in a retirement home.
He replaced goose, as Merlin, in Top Gun!! Again with Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds, and s bit part in Austin Powers 2, and my all time favorite music/relationship movie, High Fidelity!
The Green Mile also takes place in Shawshank. I highly recommend watching it.
??
Really?
I almost swear The Green Mile prison was in like Georgia or someplace.
You're very insightful for one so young.
You dispell the myth of the "dumb blonde." 😆
