The Brooks scene is heartbreaking EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!
That scene was definitely a tear jerker
Nah, he killed his wife and kids, it's in the novel
Every time you see it the second time. Heartbreaking 💔
It really hits home for me since this is kind of the way my dad died . I understand it and then again a part of me does not. I Love him still no matter what.
Indeed!😢
Red talking about Mexico : “That’s a shitty pipe dream…”
Then Andy escaped through a shitty pipe to realize the dream.
There's a cut scene of brookz laughing its on TH-cam
I like that added touch as well as the theme of Mozarts Aria.
Damnnn!!! 😳. I didn’t think about that..
@@DevinGtv901 As much as I've seen this movie, I never put that together!
Good thing that pipe didn't have bars at the end LOL
When Brooks got out, the camera was outside facing into the prison. When Red got out, it was inside facing out to the street.
Did you catch when the warden opened up the bible where the rock hammer was stored, it was on the chapter / book of "Exodus" LOL
One of my fave reactions to this movie - and ive seen a lot!
Also i love that you left in the "hope is a dangerous thin, you better get used to that idea"
"...like Brooks did?"
Scene bc its one of the best in the movie & underrated - a lot of reactors cut it out.
Great job, your reactions just keep getting better :)
Red was upset & even saying that is disrespectful, but it was absolutely true about Red's way of thinking with "hope."
I was a resident at Mansfield Reformatory. 1989 through 1990, in Mansfield Ohio. Mansfield Reformatory would be shut down a short time later, and later this film would become the setting for one of the greatest prison movies ever made, The Shawshank Redemption.
I was a kid when I was at Mansfield Reformatory, sentenced to three months for stealing a car. A lot of people, when I tell them about this little bit of my history, find it hard to believe. I have my prison records to prove it. Of course, being in prison isn't exactly the kind of thing one brags about, but my checkered past doesn't change the fact of my having been part of cinematic history.
A few little interesting facts: The perspective of Andy, looking up at the windows while walking into Shawshank the first time, is the exact same perspective I had when walking into that door.
The cells in the film are not the cells of Mansfield, that is, represented in Shawshank. They actually built a set for that part of the film because by the time the movie was made, the cells were in complete disrepair. In reality, they were tiny, claustrophobic. You had a metal footlocker that you shared with your roommate; there was a tiny sink and above it was a polished piece of steel for a mirror. The toilet was porcelain, stained brown with rust and age, looking like a small stool in the corner of the room.
The shower room wasn't as it was portrayed in the movie. In reality, the Mansfield showers was nothing more than a single pipe hanging from the ceiling and running the length of the tiled room, and along the length of the pipe were shower nozzles that all came on at the same time. The water was always cold, there was no hot water. In fact, in order to get hot water in your cell, like for making the instant coffee you got from the inmate commissary (store), you had to wait for the delivery of hot water by inmate trustees.
When Andy and the other inmates are lined up for orientation, that is, the little pep talk from the warden, that was not inmate intake at Mansfield. That is actually one of the many dayrooms at Mansfield that served many functions, including religious services. The chow hall where Andy finds the meal worm in his oatmeal looks to be the same dining area of Mansfield's Reformatory.
The bus coming into the prison through that single gated entrance is the entrance prisoners came through at Mansfield, exactly the same thing. The same route. It was pretty much the way it was depicted in the Shawshank Redemption.
Since the cell block depicted in the movie isn't the actual cell blocks of Mansfield, the image of the inmates marching single file down to the dining area isn't how it was at Mansfield. In fact, the walk to the chow hall was very cramped, the walkway in front of the cells barely as wide as a man, and contained from floor to ceiling with bars. And when you got to the end of the walkway you walked down these stairs in a zigzag pattern. The stairs had brass rails that is was my job to polish. Huge brass rails the size of one's arm. I didn't get paid for it, I volunteered so I could get out of my cell every day.
Shawshank was a dark and depressing place.
The film has a peculiar -- and dare I say -- special meaning to me. It represents one of the darkest periods of my life, for a number of reasons of which, none the least of which is my time at Shawshank prison.
I was in a section of the prison where they kept lower security prisoners. After all, I was in for stealing a car {technically, receiving stolen property, plea bargain). I got 90 days and then I would have to be extradited back to Michigan to be charged for actually stealing the car. So they kept me and kids of my security level on a separate tier. I still had to fight, though, since I was surrounded by equally young kids who had something to prove -- gladiators, those with light sentences with nothing to lose and something to prove. And when we went to chow, we all had to parade by the old timers who were lounging around the tiers (we called them "rocks"), kind of like thugs hanging around the street corners. The very first time someone tapped my backside as I walked by, I went right at him, no questions, no conversation. That put me in the "hole", segregation, and probably increased my chances of being left alone when I was released from segregation, and I was never bothered again.
Each tier was so tall, completely enclosed by bars and mesh. We called them birdcages. The only thing that compares in my mind is Jackson Penitentiary, or Michigan State Prison, also a historical landmark, in Michigan, only open for tours. I was extradited from Mansfield to Jackson, where I stayed waiting for orientation, where the powers that be decided my security level. Then I went to the Michigan Training Unit, Security Level Three, Camp Cupcake in some ways but brutal in others, since all the young thugs on their first sentences went there too. Don't let anyone tell you that a lower level is easier when doing time than a Level Four or Five. Ironically, higher security prisons are in many ways much safer, since you are locked down 23 hours a day, while in lower levels you are out and about all day, at least when I was inside.
I will say that being inside has made me much more aware and more streetwise than if I hadn't been inside. I can talk to people and immediately recognize those who have done time to those who haven't. There is a way about them, an edge to their character, and there are the turns of phrase, the lingo, the rhetoric, their philosophy on life and friends and law enforcement. They have an appreciation for the little guy, and you can count on many of them to have your back, no matter the circumstances.
I haven't committed a crime since then, but the self-awareness, the lessons and the perspective I have garnered having been inside have stayed with me. I'm a writer, and I have written often about my times inside. It will never leave me, those experiences. Just as the system will never allow me to forget, having denied me the right to vote, having made getting work difficult as a convicted felon, no matter how much time goes by, still, you know something? I myself will never forget either. It's as much a part of me as anything from my childhood. It is who I am. There is a saying: Ignorance is bliss. I wish I could go back to being ignorant about that life, but that isn't reality.
It is what it is. But I also walk more confidently in my own skin. Living free isn't the same as living inside, surrounded by those who would take any advantage, would take everything from you without a moment's notice and without any thought. So I've been tried, tested, and so in some ways being inside has made me stronger. I wish I hadn't gone to prison, but I have, and I am stronger for it.
Thank you, for sharing this and going out your way to do it. You're no nonsense prose gets to the point, direct, straight ahead, matter of fact and with total, unapologetic, zero F's given, your voice establishes a life spent having to deal in absolutes and bottom lines. A middle ground between no grey areas or silver linings, where you trapped in a neverending loop running round in circles while crashing into nothing but blind alleys and dead-ends, the roadblocks and quicksand a non stop vicious cycle at every turn. When you writing off the cuff from the gut, you got no time for pretense or metaphor. This style, the expression, your prose fit the subject matter, while communicating an eloquence and sense of lyricism throughout within its tough, uncompromising world viewpoint. It reads like the concerto by a cell block Beethoven. The mad hatter opera of no hope, zero tolerance and bad luck. An artist residency program with no possibility of parole. Every line you write is a brass knuckles symphony. You make beautiful music where your true spirit sours like a Phoenix, but with the quiet power less a resurrection than it is a reckoning of one man's personal rapture whose had to hide one's true nature, very lifeforce and blood spirit behind a value system not his own and code of conduct forged by concrete and asphalt, that still can't conquer the undeniable cosmic potency and authority you yield with paper and pen, prose and text you will into existence with the thunderclap, raw otherworldly mushroom cloud impact of your shared active volcanic life experiences that clearly've erupted from someone with the heart of a lion, uniqueness of a mythical beast of sound and fury and soul of a poet.
I hope you keep writing, I wish you peace, I pray you find the salvation that you, if not seek, don't feel deserve, then at least definitely earned and find you despite all else and you get anyway regardless. Your story really got to me.
That was very insightful. Thanks for sharing!
@@captbunnykiller1.0 absolutely
Reading your entire comment so effortlessly one would think you are in fact a writer of sorts. Atleast could/should be.
"I'm not a writer..." Yes. Yes you are.
We all got some tears watching this movie, which is completely normal. I've probably watched this movie a dozen times. It's an A+ classic.
The fact this movie didn't get an Oscar is one of the biggest robberies in film.... although, there were some real heavy hitters during that time, some of the most iconic movies in film history.
My personal theory is that the Warden had the parole board in his pocket so he could hang on to the inmates and justify more government funding for his job and use them as slaves - that's why Red and the other inmates kept getting their parole appeals rejected, until right after the Warden's removal. Without the Warden's bribes (and probably a shakeup of the parole board during the ensuing investigation), the obstacle to their paroles was finally removed.
Agreed! Though, I can’t remember if this is heavily implied or some Mandela Effect because modern prison systems outsource labor to cities/counties paying literal pennies per hour for an inmate to weed whack a median.
The Pennies would go to the inmates account, but the difference up to federal minimum wage would be given to the jail or prison.
That’s a damn good theory because after serving 20+years on good behavior, there’s no way he should be been denied
@@DevinGtv901Different time. Racism was an even bigger factor back then. Even tho they dont focus on that in this movie. But segregation was still a thing.
Nah, Red was rejected I think because he wasn't being honest with what he did, saying what he thought the Parole Board wanted to hear. The Board detected that.
The third time he was honest and what he said was heart felt. Plus it was the 1960s and there was a feeling of prison reform; and he did serve 40 years so the Board, IMHO, thought he was honest and served enough time.
A statistical analysis of parole board decisions has determined that your odds of receiving parole depend the most on the hunger of the board. Having your hearing immediately after breakfast or lunch tremendously improves those odds. Sounds very likely to me.
LMFAO.. 2 seconds into the movie "This reminds me of The Green Mile" haha... Well.. Both are Stephen King Stories... and both are Directed by Frank Darabont :)
This movie is perfection, and the realization on your face at 34:50 of exactly who Andy was going to be in the bank is awesome!
The actor who plays captain Hadley is the voice of Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob.
Morgan Freeman’s son posed for the pictures for Red’s mugshots.
Definitely watch The Count of Monte Cristo from 2002. Great redemption movie as well.
The 1995 Oscars was a great year. Lion King, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction: Shawshank went 0-for-7 with its nominations.
It’s almost like the other great films of that year which won awards greatly overshadowed this film.
Cheers man, always a pleasure rewatching movies with you :)
You just made my day 1,000,000x better within the first two seconds of this video. 🙂
This is one of my Favorite movies of All Time! I watched it every day when I was going through a really tough time. I felt much like Andy when he got out once things got better in my life. Great reaction keep up the good work!
My favorite movie of all time
I've seen this movie dozens of times and always liked it ok, but only this year did I realize it might actually my #1 movie of all time. Hope is the most important thing a person can have, and this movie nails what that means, why, and the power it can wield
I hope all generations can have art worthy of living centuries into the future. We have paintings, architecture, music, books that have existed hundreds, even thousands of years. I doubt Film will but, heck, look at fables and myths... I think SHAWSHANK and a handful of other great films will be our generation's contribution.
Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. My first time here looks like you've got a lot of great ones for me to catch up on. Really good job editing also. Thanks again
This is such a great movie. Loved your reaction D-man. You’re a good man.
oh shit I think I found my new favorite reaction channel
You my man gave positively the best reaction that I have witnessed. Hope that I
see more of you in the future. God's Peace my brother!!!
I just happened across your channel today, what a great reaction to a great movie. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work. OOOOOOWE!!!!!
A really good movie with Tim Robbins is,"Jacob's Ladder". Has one of the best twist endings there is
Fine detail all over the place. For instance, when Andy stands up on the boat you can clearly see he is wearing huaraches… a traditional Mexican sandal.
Killing it bro. Keep it up !
Not sure there’s a more satisfying and heartwarming ending to a movie out there.
Devin, you are damn funny. I laughed my ass off at your comment and reactions. This masterpiece always leaves me with intense feelings of optimism: I hope, I hope, I hope.
This is definitely in my top five favorite films of all time. The Green Mile is up there as well.❤❤❤❤
I saw this movie in the theater when it was 1st released. It didn't do very well in the box office. My girlfriend and I had seen all the new releases at the time, and finally decided to see this movie. I remember walking out of the theater thinking to myself, "I just saw something special." It's the 1st time I ever thought I'd seen a perfect movie. Still do. Since then, I'd add the "Unforgiven" and "No Country for Old Men".
Good to see you back doing good movies again
I don't think Red was Paroled at his previous hearings because they felt that he was just telling them what they wanted to hear. In his final Parole hearing Red gave them an honest response. The reason that this film had "Green Mile" vibes is both had the same Author (Steven King) and Director (Frank Darabont).
I love your reactions. I would buy the first round of drinks anytime anywhere, bud. Earned another sub. Too fun.
I'm five seconds into this video. I'm thumbing it up because right there in your title, when you said it might be a perfect movie...dude...I've been saying the same damn thing since I saw this on VHS years ago. It's one of my absolute favorite movies. Now I'mma check out the rest of this video and I ain't gonna say another word.
The best film soundtrack in history. Thomas Newman made some exquisite music for this. I also listen to it while I walk my dog
Hard to believe this movie was a box office failure when it was first released. But time and word of mouth has shown it to be one of the best movies ever made. Certainly one of the best of the 90s.
Trivia: Tom Hanks was their first choice to play Andy, but he was busy doing another movie (Forrest Gump I think) and couldn't do it. But! He was able to do Frank Darabont's next movie: The Green Mile, which is also an excellent tear-jerker.
There are a few movies perfectly cast. This is one of them.
This movie should’ve won best picture over Forrest Gump
One of the most magnificent movies ever made and in my opinion the greatest ending ever in a movie... Crazy thing about this movie. It bombed in the theater
I always wonder if the reason the Green Mile is named that is b/c of Allen Green who was Frank Derbont's deceased agent (Frank Directed both films). IDK if it's random or if King wrote the green mile a few years after this movie with Green's name in mind. In the Green Mile the green tile on the floor is the reason for the name, but I always wonder and prefer to think of it as an homage, but honestly don't know. Both movies phenomenal though.
I thought it was neat when the Warden opened the bible to the first page of the cut out, it was the Book of Exodus.
41:25 "Circumstantial evidence" can be used to convict. It's a myth that it's always inadmissible evidence.
Example: Not having an alibi.
So glad they showed them meeting at the end instead of just leaving it for the imagination.
the film was loosely based on the alexandre dumas classic, the count of monte cristo', in which a man is wrongly imprisoned for life but escapes after 14 years & gets his revenge on those who were responsible for him being wrongly convicted! the last 3 words in the book
are, 'wait & hope'!!
you’ve clearly seen this before lol. still entertaining though. thank you.
Such a classic.
Green Mile vibes are well-founded as they're both Stephen King adaptations, and both directed by the legendary Frank Darabont
I am a retired police officer from Berlin-Germany. There are people against whom a great white shark is a goldfish but sometimes these sharks also swim in front of the bars. For several years I was a member of a special unit that also apprehended such dangerous perpetrators during their operations. They are in prison and should live until their biological end, if sentenced for that long.
stay there too. Society must be protected from beasts. We don't have the death penalty in Germany and that's a good thing. Even a single misjudgment reduces this punishment to absurdity. And there are errors in judgment galore. We are the state and cannot say "then it just happened,
so what?" What kind of a state takes its own mistakes, whether in the judiciary or the police, as a given. It's not about normal mistakes that can happen to anyone, but systematic misconduct. You have to draw the right conclusions from it. But It cannot be the case that state institutions such as
The judiciary and police apply their own rights. The book and the film hold a mirror up to society. What if, like here, the justice system and its system are worse than the inmates (beasts excluded). You have the power of law and order, so you have to stick to it, otherwise you won't be a bit better than them.
who have been locked up.
After 50 years, Brooks is released into “freedom” without any preparation. Either they fulfill their responsibility or they leave it alone. Or is suicide already part of their program, according to the motto "Out of sight, out of mind"?
In my country from 1933 to 1945 there was war, dictatorship, injustice, Murder and manslaughter are the form of government. It could be eliminated by others (allies). We in West Germany understood the lesson and changed a lot. I never want to live in a country of injustice again. This is also possible in other countries.
Stephen King became, certainly unintentionally, a moral authority, it's worth listening to him. For, like so many of his works, the book, the film and the actors an A+
you are right we must be protected from them
I believe in capital punishment, but I can't trust the State and the people who run it to be allowed to implement it. Prosecutors are greedy ambitious lawyers too, they are not morally superior to anyone, they violate the rights of the accused all the time. Then I read an account of a forensic pathologist who had a long career in many different states, and after being investigated, was discovered to have falsified many, many, many test results over decades. And of course falsely testified in court about those tests, many hundreds of guilty verdicts were thrown into doubt. If there is one corrupt lying pathologist, there are many more.
Damn, congrats on 1,500 likes - 0 dislikes. Don't see that often
This is in my top 5 best movies of all time. I believe the same director as The Green Mile? Not sure, but both masterpieces.
This movie is truly a masterpiece, way up there with the likes of "It's a wonderful life". This is timeless. And it never fails to choke me up.
A true Human Story
Rats, and Angels
Sad but great to it all worked out for the two friends.😮😊
The Warden was dumber than shit. No way would I let anyone control all my money without me knowing or checking anything. I for sure wouldn't piss him off, especially someone that smart that can break you.
So, I want to give people some information about the time Brookes went to prison to give you some perspective on just how jarring it was for him out in the world. First, in 1905, automobiles weren’t very widespread, in all of the United States there were only about 7 to 8 thousand in use as passenger cars. And they were the OLD OLD timey ones, like the Model T and N. And most were only driven around 15-20 mph, sometimes up to 30-40 in ideal conditions and decent road. Two years prior to going to prison, the Wright brothers had their first flight. Television was not a thing, and radio wasn’t big until the 1920s-30s, many appliances like refrigerators, washing machines and vacuum cleaners weren’t common in households. Not to mention TWO WORLD WARS happened while he was in prison! So much happened and changed while he was locked up, and to suddenly be thrust into a completely different and alien world must have been insane to try and make sense of, much less get around or do much. I felt so sorry for him, he was totally lost.
You're getting Green Mile vibes? And so you should, Frank Darabont directed both films. 😄
Try another of his films - The Mist (2007)
One of The Best movies Ever made ❤
Greta reaction to one of my all time favorite movies! If I may suggest another movie I think you will enjoy as well..." Pans Labyrinth ". I look forward to more of your reactions. Peace
Stephen King is a master storyteller!
Thank you...thank you...😌
I recently aaw an interview with Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman that they originally ended the film with Redd on the bus. The studio (and probably test audiences) wanted a more satisfying ending, so they did reshoots in St. Thomas (or some such place) for 3 weeks to add the meeting on the beach.
Fine, I'll watch the GOAT movie while i wait for more LOTR. Ouwie!
Oouwie!! You know it’s coming🙌🏾🙌🏾. Appreciate you fam
Your reaction is ahead of the OV here. If anything, you want it a hair after.
MIght be? No, it's a perfect film. It's a masterpice.
Green Mile vibes..... very astute observation actually.
Both movies based off a book written by the same man.
Imo, this movie is the best to come out of the 90s. Everything about it is so beautifully done. I say this as someone who saw Jurassic Park twice in the theaters (my parents were probably annoyed), loved Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and BTTF 3.
Yes, this is a hill I am willing to die on.
It got you
Very good prison movie! :)
Another good prison one, is 'Blood in, Blood out'
crazy steven king wrote this book
The book is different from the movie. As most King adaptations.
@@whoaisme worth reading?
The rock hammer was hidden in the book of Exodus, the story of men becoming free.
Thanks!
No! Thank so much for the support and love 🙌🏾
Great movie.
Not sure how many Stephen King movies you've seen. This one might be the best, but there's around 20 other King movies that deserve a reaction. "1408" is my favorite... watch the THEATRICAL release not the Director's Cut. If you can't find it, contact me.
What Stephen King movies should I watch next? I’ll definitely check them out
@@DevinGtv901 You asked for a list of great Stephen King movies. You may have already watched, but here they are:
CARRIE - 1976
THE SHINING - 1980
CUJO - 1983
THE DEAD ZONE - 1983 (they also made this into an 80 episode TV series in the 2000s, which I absolutely loved)
CHRISTINE - 1983
CHILDREN OF THE CORN - 1984
SILVER BULLET - 1985
STAND BY ME - 1986
PET SEMATARY - 1989
MISERY - 1990
THE STAND - 1994, A TV Mini-Series
SHAWSHANK is here
DOLORES CLAIBORNE - 1995
THE GREEN MILE - 1999
1408 - 2007, theatrical release is better ending, in my opinion
THE MIST - 2017
IT, PART 1 & 2 (2 movies) - 2017 & 2019
PET SEMATARY (remake) - 2019
DOCTOR SLEEP (sequel to The Shining) - 2019
In my opinion, all of these are either a 5/5 or 4/5 rating, worth a reaction.... But, I didn't include probably 40, yes 40, others, because I either haven't seen them, or don't think they are good for a reaction channel. Some of these have low quality sequels, such as Children of the Corn is around 10 sequels/prequels/remakes.
please can you do a reaction to "a river runs through it" it may not be a movie that you love but I think it's one of the best movies I've seen.
Just a heads up it's about fishing and a pair brothers going through life. Boring topic but it's a great movie in my opinion.
Are these just re-recreations from your old channel?
double crossing a criminal is one thing but screwing with the youngest bank president is just stupid
Your editor go you 😀
MIGHT BE it is the best
The slow reveal of Andy's plan coming together is one of the most satisfying things ever put to film.
I'm almost 70 years old and I've seen millions of movies in my life, but this is my favorite 😊
I randomly stumbled across this movie as a 14 year old kid. I was mesmerized by the gripping story and well written characters, not to mention some of the best acting I've ever laid eyes on.
When it ended, I instantly knew that I had just witnessed the greatest movie ever. A belief I still firmly hold to this day 20-something years later.
The cool thing about this movie is that the book (which I FINALLY got around to reading late last year when I taught it to HS seniors) is also very good, but it ends with Red on the bus. The story goes that test audiences HATED that ending and the filmmakers added the scene with him and Andy reuniting on the beach. That extra minute or so makes a HUGE difference in the ending as a viewer.
Definitely
I know sometimes movies end with endings that intentionally leave you wondering what happened, but I agree with the test audience. To see Andy's face as Red arrives, along with Red's, is priceless. Friends finally together again.
I could listen to Morgan Freemen read a phone book, this film is a masterpiece. The most heartbreaking scene, is Brookes waiting alone for Jake in the park. And he never comes. That's a never ending pain. -Brookes was here
That scene is so gut wrenching!
In the book, the topic of Jake doesn't end when he doesn't see him again. Saying goodbye to Brooks also costs Jake his life in a different way.
Oh my gosh, for me too. Him taking his life devastates me, but when I see him sitting on that park bench all alone, hoping that Jake will come and visit, that just wrecks my soul and leaves me in ugly tears.
This is one of those movies I can watch anytime it comes on TV or cable
The is now one of my favorites
*If you enjoyed the reaction please hit the like button. That helps out the channel tremendously. Thank you so much for watching!*
I am a happy subscriber to your channel.... Great reactions and comments! I always give thumbs up👍
I got a good next movie for you """The Time Machine (2002) with Guy Pearce""" also, when are you continuing Lord of The Rings?
When are you going to post the rest of the LOTR reactions? I understand you have already watched them all for a while now. I just watched the long form ones myself right after your first reaction so I'd like to see your thoughts on them.
Awesome!!! CHECK Deep Blue Sea!!! My Fellow Countryman Renny Harlin Movie 😎👍👍👍👍Greetings from Helsinki, Finland
For Brooks, fear was a bigger prison than the actual prison. Even though no longer in prison, he really was not really free. Wild.
There’s 2 shots I really love. I love the shot of Brooks leaving prison. It’s from the street (freedom) looking into the prison.
When Red leaves, it’s looking from inside the prison out into freedom
Great observation!!
Is this the re-upload? I'm sure I have already seen your reaction to this movie
You've done The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption. Frank Darabont directed both movies, both Stephen King adaptations. Next up, he directed Stephen King's, The Mist. Very different movie. Great watch, with something very infamous about it (until you've seen it, then it's just famous). But you are warned...
I love that story Stephen King tells about a lady who refused to believe he wrote Shawshank, because it was extremely “good” and wholesome compared to his reputation and novels otherwise.
Thank you for the recommendation!! I’ll definitely be checking that out soon
It really is as close as you can get to a perfect movie. It’s a masterpiece.
It definitely IS the perfect movie!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I LOVE that the hollowed out section of Andy's bible that hid the rock hammer began in the book of Exodus. And when the warden had cells tossed to 'size Andy up' he held it in his hand.
I first watched this at age 17; almost 30 & this movie does hit harder now than before. I wonder how I'll look at this at age 40 :3
33:50 He was timing him hitting the pipe with the thunder so no one can hear him
"Hope is a good thing...maybe the best of things...and no good thing ever dies..."
THE. BEST. MOVIE. EVER.
He was right . Fear and hope are thé 2 greatest human emotions .
"the pick axe thingy thing!" LMFAO
Fun fact. When they arrest the head guard Handley, the detective is reading him his rights from a booklet. This is because the actual law of miranda rights were less than a year old when this movie takes place. So, logically, detectives wouldn't have the moranda rights memorized yet.
"It was truly a Shawshank Redemption..."
My dad and me watched this everytime we happened upon it. Miss my dad, he passed three years ago. I still stop and watch this everytime.
What I liked was the brotherhood that developed when men suffer together and how they try to protect each other. God bless you
Almost got you? 😂😅 Looked like a tear to me. Nice your heart is true!
I was trying to hold them in lol. You caught me 😅
@@DevinGtv901 love ya man!
You gotta be honest when you've seen a movie before. Obviously you have. Watch movies that nobody else watches like Badboys 1983 (sean penn ,Clancy Brown ,Eric Gurry) Fresh 1994 (Sean Nelson, Samuel L Jackson) do both of those & you got a subscriber for life & maybe make yourself a trendsetter instead of a formula follower locc
