Nice reaction to a very good film. Two things. 1. Somewhere on YT someone went to the 'Shawshank' tree and found that it (and the wall) are no longer there. The tree was hit by lightning (?) and eventually died. 2. There are literally 100's of movies that are very good to watch, review and enjoy. Please don't forget the great films from the 1940's, 1950's and 60's. Most reactors do... Take care and good luck with your channel.
It's cool that is was a real tree that lived as long as it did. You just know that if a movie with a tree like that were being made today they would simply CGI it rather than scout out and find a real tree like they had to back then.
Nice reaction! Couple things, the overhead shot of the prison is indeed beautiful and was done the old fashioned way, in a helicopter. There wouldn't have been any drones in 1993/1994. Stephen King is from the New England area and most of his stories take place in that area. For instance this story takes place in Portland, Maine not Oregon. Good luck with your channel!
Yeah, half of the “Shawshank Oak” fell due to a storm in late July 2011. The other half was damaged in another storm 7 years later. Due to the damage it sustained, it had to be removed.
The tin container that Red finds under the tree has not been there for 30 years. The letter inside was addressed to Red and Andy only met him after he was sent to prison. Andy hadn't yet buried that container there when he told Red to look for it if he ever got out. Andy buried it there after he escaped, hoping Red would one day find it. He gave Red hope because hope is a great thing.
In the original novella, it WAS there for decades. The false identity was set up through Andy's friend (since deceased) outside the prison, protecting most of Andy's assets and money that he'd had before the murder. All the paperwork was hidden in a safety deposit box, and the key to it was hidden in the box in the field. Red mused how tough it must have been for Andy to wonder if the field had been torn up for a new building, or even if some kid found the rock and box and took it with him. But it all worked out. However, I like the film's version better--less unlikely coincidence and more karma for Norton.
Some of the subtle nuances that I love about this movie show that it's not actually Andy's redemption, but rather Red's. Andy was innocent and doesn't need redemption, but Red admitted his guilt, and lost hope in the process. Andy helped him to find that hope again, and embracing that hope was Red's redemption. The side-story with Brooks was there to provide contrast for Red. When Brooks left the prison, the camera faced inward, to reflect that he was leaving his home. He had no hope and it left him confused and afraid. When Red left the prison, the camera looked outward, so that we could see through Red everything ahead of him. This
Well, Andy also felt guilt for neglecting his wife. And also withdrawing the money from the bank and closing the accounts can be considered a "redemption" in banking terms.
You picked a great film to start with. The most amazing thing about this film is it wasn't really a box office success, but when it went to VHS Video rental the word got around and it became an utter cult classic watched by millions, it is one of the the greatest films of all time. Great reaction we could see you were genuinely moved by it. Incredible to think also that it was only a Steven King short story called Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption and became this epic film. A film of true hope conquers all, a beautiful ending on the beach after all they had been through with a glorious panoramic shot from above.
Fun fact: "Red" actually was Irish in the book. Morgan Freeman's line was an inside joke for people familiar with the source material. Stephen King doesn't only write horror, but he is most well known for his horror stories.
Red's character in the Steven King novella was a red headed Irish man, hence... the Morgan Freeman line "maybe it's because I'm Irish" is a nod to that. Steven King lives in Bangor Maine.
@@GreatOutdoors1 I can only assume they wrote that in for the film when they cast Morgan Freeman, because in the novella his character doesn't have a name except for his nickname Red.
Great reaction...and quite a perfect start to your channel. Subbed! VFX artist here...nice to see a fellow industry peer doing well with reactions and appreciate your insightfulness and film commentary etc. 👏 Working on films, I usually watch movies fully aware of how the sausage is made. This film is definitely one of the ones i can successfully check my "making of" brain at the door and just enjoy (of course, i'll always have my own "someone's on the roof" moments too LOL). Fun fact...this is literally the first film Morgan Freeman did a voice over for, which is nuts. Dude nailed it out the gate...the rest is history.
I just watched your reaction to Dead poets, then YT recommended this one to me, then I heard you say this was your 1st reaction video... I'm in! subscribed!
Other than this, my favorite Stephen King non horror movie is "Stand By Me", directed by Rob Reiner. Reiner also directed Kings' "Misery"". All are amazing and should be seen by movie lovers!
This has my favorite use of subtle foreshadowing in a film. When Andy is telling Red about his plans to move to Mexico, Red tells him that he shouldn’t torture himself with his “shitty pipe dreams”. And then Andy crawls through a shit-filled pipe to fulfill his dream of escaping to Mexico.
Loved your reaction. You have a new sub! Another king/Darabont collaboration is 'the Green Mile". If you haven't seen it, please consider reacting to it.👍👍
Great reaction, your editing skills are top notch. It's hard ro do a major picture justice in 40 minutes, you did it in under 28. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions. Thank you!
This is the greatest film of all time, IMO. Im old enough that i was in college when this was released, and saw it at the theater and was simply never thr same. What storytelling. The script, the performances, the cinematography, the music, the directing, everything about this film is perfect. Hope you enjoy it.
My oh my, you really put yourself out there! There were no drones in the making of this movie, those were cranes used to take those shots; the Portland referenced here isn’t in Oregon but in Maine; glad you’re watching movies to learn about great actors, directors, keep it going
This is the second movie reaction that I have seen on your channel so far.. and I got to admit you're doing real good. The best thing to do is to show more emotion that will make your channel grow bigger and faster
Another commenter pointed out what I, and probably 99.99% ppl miss, is the fact the that when Brooks leaves, the camera is outside of the prison, pointing in towards it. But when Red leaves, it points outward! What a great way to show “institutionalization “ compared to freedom!
Welcome to the reaction community, enjoyed your reaction and your comments, just one suggestion don't try to make predictions because in doing so you take the viewer out of the immersion of the movie and you, just a thought. Other than that welcome and I look forward to watching more:)
You picked the perfect movie for your first reaction. Glad to be here to support you. I first saw you on Addie Count's channel reacting to The Hangover. Keep up the yhe good work!
First thing I have to say about your first video is this, you looked very very comfortable doing this. That's a great start! This is a great movie to start with as well. A lot of reaction fans will always check this out. I'm off to see your other movies now. Take care of yourself!
Great reaction Camilla like always, this is a masterpiece of cinema, A masterclass in pretty much every category. An incredible script, wonderful direction, gorgeous score and phenomenal performances by Freeman and Robbins. Some fun facts about this movie, Stephen King sold the rights for $1,000, The baseball throwing scene took 9 hours The scene where Andy and Red are standing and talking outside whilst Red is throwing a baseball back and forth took a staggering nine hours to film. Morgan Freeman threw the ball endlessly the whole time. The following day, when he arrived at work, his arm was in a sling. Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford were considered for Red, and Brad Pitt audition for the role of Tommy but he pulled out of the role because of another movie, later Brad Pitr said he regretted that decision. Red’s mugshot is Morgan Freeman’s son , When you see Morgan Freeman’s papers at one of his parole hearings, there are mugshots of a younger Red attached. These are actually photos of Alfonso Freeman - Morgan’s son. He also had a small part in the movie. He was one of the inmates shouting ‘Fresh fish!’ Stephen King’s novella was titled, ‘Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.’ This was shortened for the film because they didn’t want people to think it was a biopic about Rita Hayworth. This was proven to be true when several actresses applied for the ‘lead role of Rita Hayworth’. Keep up the amazing work.
Congratulations on your new YT Reaction Channel and for finally watching The Shawshank Redemption (1994)! I am a fan of Addie's and saw you there so I joined your channel as well. Frank Darabont adapted 2 other Stephen King stories into movies, and they are also highly regarded: The Green Mile (1999) and The Mist (2007). Bring tissues for The Green Mile and expect a true horror style for The Mist. Don't look up anything else. Be surprised by the films and who is in them when you read the opening credits.
2:12 As a kid I saw Morgan Freeman in _The Electric Company_ (1971-1977), so that’s *my* reference point. Here in Australia, we got both this show and _Sesame Street._
Just watched your Hungover reaction and you seem super smart. I love it! It shows here as well, but maybe the editing needs some adjustments. But I am sure you'll get there! 😊 Keep up the good work! 👍
Really enjoyed your reaction and glad to see a new "reactionist" on the scene. I gauge channels on certain movies (this being one of them) like Monty Python & the Holy Grail, The Sixth Sense, Paranormal Activity, Spaceballs and a few others. I can usually gauge a reactor on these few movies and tell whether the will be worthy of my time. I look forward to seeing more of you. Good luck in your future endenvours!
"Is this another piece of on-set terminology?" People who haven't worked in film won't understand exactly how deep this observation is. In a world of stingers, dead kittens, and Big-Eye Tenners, a "Shawshank Tree" would totally fit right in. Clothespins are called C-47's, for Christ's sake (and if you invert them so they become tweezers, they're called C-74's!). The moral of this story is don't get involved in the film industry unless you have a great memory.
31:15 1994 saw _Forrest Gump, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Pulp Fiction, Quiz Show_ and _The Shawshank Redemption_ duke it out for Best Picture. Tough year.
Good luck with the new channel from the land of Oppenheimer ( Cillian ). I was sitting on a bench in Dublin the best part of thirty years ago. Coffee in hand, I was looking down at the cobblestones when an old fashioned pair of boots came into view. Panning up, the rest of the person came into view, I could see that he was dressed as a pirate. And he was holding a coffee. He smiled at me - nice weather, he said. ‘Tis, said I - but it ‘Ill be raining soon enough. He laughed - yes, I’ve heard that about the Irish weather. Good day to you, Sir, he said, continuing on his travels. And with that, the man dressed as a pirate and holding a coffee made his way to a distant movie caravan, and as I watched Morgan Freeman depart, I could see that the man had that touch of stardust bequeathed to just a few.
This is in the top 10 of the best movies of all time of most critics and def of us, simpletons top 5 for sure. Nice to see a new reactor and someone who works in the movie biz is kinda cool too. Are you allowed to talk about the movies/shows you've worked in or not really, NDAs type of thing? Look forward to your reactions n I hope you haven't watched all or most at least, of my favorites 😁 The Green Mile is a great movie to watch, related to this, since it's set in a prison, of sorts n also Frank Darabont directed it n it's based on the novel by Stephen King as well. I'm positive you'll like it as much as this one maybe.
Stephen King is more than Horror, he specializes in writing about everyday people in crazy situations. Yet, the publishers put that Horror label on him and everyone not familiar with him accepts it. Stephen King wrote the novel, on which Frank Darabont wrote the script. But the cheque for the movie rights was never cashed by Stephen King. He sent it back to Darabont in a frame. along with a note: "In case you ever need bail money. Love, Steve" That famous Shawshank tree was hit by lighting somewhen in 2010ish, and the farm owner had to cut it down due to safety reasons. A friend of mine got a pen made of the wood from that tree he found on Etsy. Neat thing.
Wow, what a first reaction for a channel. Excited to see all the great classics we'll get to see you watch for the first time. I'll recommend Saving Private Ryan (in the hopes that you haven't seen it yet).
Congratulations and best of luck on your new journey. I'm a big fan of reaction videos by women and people of color, and I hope for the best for you. Solid debut. One thing about this movie I never see mentioned is when Red goes before the parole board, the first time, he is told to "sit down," the second time, just "sit," and the third time, "please sit down" (something similar). I have a feeling either Stephen King or Frank Darabont consciously made this progression. Looking forward to more.
If you are into films, I would highly recommend "Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa. It has been VERY influential to films that came afterwards from Westerns to Star Wars.
And it and other Kurosawa films are not written in the traditional western 3 act structure but the traditional Japanese 4 act structure called Kishotenketsu.
Nice reaction. Steven king is known for horror but he has also written a number of dramatic novels. Another movie considered to be one of the greatest is “the green mile” and is also based on a Steven king novel. You should definitely check it out.
I would estimate well under half of King's stories are straight horror, but well over half use fantastical or science fiction elements, and almost all of them have some kind of dark themes even if they're grounded in reality.
Check out The Godfather, Godfather 2, The Terminator, Terminator 2, Forest Gump, The Sixth Sense. Everybody reacts to these but there is a reason they do - they are each very good. The Terminator movies are full of laser guns, tracked war vehicles, and human skulls which obviously means these movies are chick flicks but guys like them too. Other worthy chick flicks are Casablanca, When Harry Met Sally, Roman Holiday, and a movie that hasn't gotten reacts - The Horse Whisperer. Other movies - The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Steel Magnolias, and Back to the Future. Each of these movies will blow you away with how good they are. Have fun!!!
Hey Camilla! Just saw you on Addie's channel with The Hangover (hilarious reaction to that, lol). Definitely subbed to your channel after seeing your first reaction is to one of my favorite movies of all time. I saw this when I was 17 and absolutely fell in love with it. I even did Red's final monologue in my theater class, lol. Here's hoping you haven't seen my other three favorites, cause I'd love to see your reaction to those! (Heat, Gladiator, and Interstellar).
Great reaction, subbed for more! If you haven't seen Hot Fuzz then I think you'd enjoy it, lots of fun and it's Edgar Wright so interesting cinematography and a tight script
Oh my, the algo put you in my feed in less.than 3 days post... Hold onto your seat, this very iconic movie reaction will get alot of viewers and comments
I read a lot of books from Steven King when I was younger, and this was my favorite story of his. It's part of a collection of novellas, with four novellas. I read this one over and over. You were asking, in the reaction, if the movie was different than the book. If the book was more of a horror story. The movie follows the novella exactly as I remember it. It is actually one of the movie adaptions of a book, that is most true to the original story, that I have ever seen. Another one of the novellas, from the same collection, was also made into a movie: Apt pupil. That movie is scary, without it being a horror movie.
They took the gun into the courtroom during the Rittenhouse trial a few years ago. Actually, the prosecuting attorney picked it up and pointed it at the jury, with his finger on the trigger! sounds insane but it actually happened
i like the shots, when brooks gets out the shot is from the outside looking into the prison, then red gets out, the shot is from the outside looking out. theres all kinds of interesting shots.
Loved watching you watch this masterpiece of a movie. You caught a lot of things in the movie and in your closing thoughts: the the escape, the suicide of the warden, and afterwards: the acting and music (nominations) and Brooke’s story arc. Well seen and percieved. I can highly recommend Interstellar, have you seen that already? Other favorites of mine: Amélie, Donnie Darko and Fight Club. 😇
Although Stephen King is mostly known as a horror writer, a substantial chunk of his work is not horror. The Green Mile is another Stephen King prison story, with a more supernatural twist, and is also directed by Frank Darabont. You should also check out Stand By Me, adapted from King's novella "The Body", which was originally published in the collection Different Seasons, which also included Shawshank. It's a coming of age story set in the 1950s with a spectacular soundtrack and a great, All-Star cast directed by Rob Reiner.
This is such a stunning film. I remember the first time I watched it I was absolutely captivated by it. It is the best film I have ever seen. Amazing bit of trivia is that the original ending was when Red was on the bus. Thankfully they added the ending you now see.
Good luck to you. Will key an eye out for you. Send way to o many Shawshank reactions but hoping for some reactions of great movies others don’t react to
bringing guns in the court as evidence is still very common today and gun safety check are terrifyingly bad. There was one prosecutor who didn't check the gun himself (Alway make sure the gun is unloaded; each person should check individually) Then pointed the gun at the jury. (never aim a gun at something you aren't willing to destroy) With the finger on the trigger. Breaking all three rules of gun safety.
Fun fact: Jake the crow, is a Corvid family member. They ARE the SMARTEST birds in Earth. The African Grey parrot is the most talkative bird on Earth. So, as I watched this in ‘97 (yeah, I was late to the party), I expected Jake to show up to the park.
At the beginning of Different Seasons which contains the novella, Rita Hayworth and the ShawShank Redemption, Stephen King says the 2d most asked question he gets is, "Is horror all you write?". The 1st most asked question is," where do you get your ideas?"
Many Stephen King stories take place in Portland, Maine. Stand by Me is another great screen adaptation of his work. I wish you success with your channel!
The prison where the movie was filmed is actually The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield Ohio. It was closed down due to overcrowding in the 1980's. Hard to believe when you see the size of the place in the movie. It's now a tourist attraction thanks to the film. th-cam.com/video/gKhuvYrrtn0/w-d-xo.html
Decent reaction. Reactors must link the viewer to them and the movie through their reactions; wither they're verbal, physical or emotional. Sure there are many different kinds of viewers! Some live for jump scares (very large percentage), some live for 'shocking content reactions' (IE: watching your reactions to 'severe'/'excessive'/'etc.' scenes; lesser percentage), and a whole slew of others. Most of these noted are fleeting in nature as you should be able to tell and will definitely notice. Most of us viewers have seen these movies at least once! Some like me have seen them countless times. For me, my lifelong friend Roy The ToyBoy brought me to the theater to watch this movie! That in itself was unusual; but I'm thinking we went to Denny's afterwards and were talking about it, and again this was unusual. But we both pretty much loved the film. Except for this YT review I haven't seen it since then... Funny thing happened this weekend - @AddieCounts did a reaction to one of my favies! "Superman" (1978). I hadn't seen that movie since it came out and as I started playing her Patreon version I remembered exactly every single moment of the movie; what was coming next, etc.! LOL I did seen it in the theaters at least twice! I mean I grew up paying for the Superman comics, watching the 2nd TV series, and then 'boom' it came to theaters and that year I was 15. Christopher Reeve was the epitome of Superman! Anyway - there is yet another bunch - those of us whom love to see reactors at least enjoy the movie their reacting to and I’m of this bunch. You clearly liked it at the very least! Not to mention you wanted to learn more things about it. Thing is each and every movie is a universe unto itself! At least that’s how I’ve been treating them since the late 1960’s lol You noted you didn’t like ‘suicides’ or maybe ‘deaths’; sorry, but the Cinematic Universe is filled with them. There are movies that can change you, your views on a lot of things… Movies that will possibly make you physically sick. Sometimes its for ‘shock value’ and other times it is for various reasons. But this is your channel and if you want to stay in that stance, you can. YT editing can be a pain!!! I would recommend that if you run into some issues you can look at other Reactors YT Edits to get an idea! Thing is you want to draw us in via YT edits, showing us a little of the poignant moments (and here again is where looking at other reactors YT edits can help) where you are reacting to something and then draw us over to support. Try not to take ‘negativity’ too hard, ‘this is the internet’ and there are trolls all over the place. One thing no one else really touches upon - “Generational Gaps”; From “The Silent Generation” to “The Greatest/G.I. Generation, to Baby Boomers, GenX, etc. There are differences between them all, especially when you ‘jump’ generations. For instance - here in “The Shawshank Redemption” the story starts in the late 1940’s; those involved seem to be of “The Silent Generation.” With the members of this generation Religion was a big part of their life; I don’t remember the numbers but I would guess way more than 60% of American’s were religious at that point in time; it was engrained within American Society back then. Much more than ‘today.’ Of the generations I listed many, many things are very similar! How we grew up, what our parents taught us, what was socially acceptable, etc. Thee whole gambit of life. After that, things start to diverge significantly. You asked if this was a Christian Prison, but no - ‘technically it isn’t’ but it was “a given” [remember Algebra?] that ‘everyone was Christian’ or at least religious. I haven’t seen V FOR VENDETTA, so I’m skipping that and jumping to “The Danger Zone” lol OH! Good things! You didn't add in - any meme or gif, etc. of anything not connected to the movie! You were definitely 'into the movie' and that is clear as daylight for everyone to see! LOL YAY! You actually liked and definitely 'hated' to some degree the characters! Some of thee best movies will push you to the boundaries!!! Thee Greatest movies will push you through almost all emotions! Any 'great' movie does that doesn't it? Where you love characters soo much you'd like to hug them! Or characters you'd hate or have soo much disgust towards them soo much so all ya wanna do is to slap some sense into them!!! Or "Satisfying death" is a thing! I am totally embarrassed to say this but there is such a thing! It goes totally against what I was raised to believe, and everything else... But in this incredible Cinematic Universe there are "Satisfying deaths" - where the movie and everyone involved makes you utterly dislike the character soo much that when they finally pass... A feeling of at least "relief" washes over you! Very 'sick' but it's true! Thank you and 'your team' for sharing with us all!
So many hay fields in Buxton and everyone of them with rock walls. A monumental task to find the right one. Not sarcasm. Rock walls are everywhere up there, even through the forests.
This movie is a must see, as is The Green Mile. It stars Tom Hanks and was also written by Stephen King. Fun fact: When Andy escaped $370, 000 dollars in 1966 is equivalent to a bit over 3.6 Million in 2024. I also suggest the movie American History X
Also... Since you are in the film industry, you might be interested in some of the backstories. -- You see them sitting and talking so often bc Tim Robbins is so tall. -- The mug shot you see of Morgan Freeman is his son. There's a million of these. It's such a great film.
Well done kid. I subscribe to about a hundred channels and many of them are reactors. Since this is your first, I'm going to take a flyer and subscribe and since I'm an old man I'm just going to call you Kid.
Two of my all time favorite films are from 1994, this one and Pulp Fiction. So whenever someone watches one and asks for requests, I always mention the other.
Congrats on your first reaction - good job. A couple of guidelines from watching reactors who have done 100s - include all pertinent scenes. Most new reactors are too short on scenes. The longer the movie, the longer the reaction. Some reactors continuously talk during the movie and miss key info. You did a good job. More good ones to do Forest Gump, The Green Mile (another Stephen King), Saving Private Ryan - all Tom Hanks.
I join the voices who strongly recommend The Green Mile. Another Stephen King story, adapted and directed by the same guy as Shawshank. Nicely done. You have another new sub. Good luck with the channel!!
It shouldn't be embarrassing to you because you're young. That's an obvious life thing you haven't seen all movie references. Life society shouldn't expect movies to be instilled in anyone since birth. It's like in the matrix having everything downloaded in consciousness. Only trivial anyone shouldn't know since birth is that the Powerpuff Girls cartoons is what the cool kids watch 🎬
If you're looking for ideas I'd encourage you to check out the AFI (American Film Institute) list from 1998 of the 100 best American films. It was released as a countdown clip show that aired on CBS. It's here on TH-cam. The list was revamped in 2007. There's also the original list of 400 nominations that AFI cut down to 100. Then they did comedy, musical, romance, thriller lists. It's all on wikipedia. Subbed. Oh, btw Shawshank was left off the '98 list but came in at #74 on the '07 list.
@@camillascornerwell done first reaction, I'm an old guy so I'll suggest a couple of older movies to react to (if you have seen them of course). Casablanca and Citizen Kane, have fun with your new reaction channel!

Portland Maine. King always uses Maine.

Not always. The Green Mile was set in Louisiana.
They moved "Stand by Me" from Maine to the west coast for the movie.
Misery was set in Colorado. Green Mile in Louisiana. The Shining in Colorado. Etc
Lol, ok...King _often_ uses Maine. That better?
Nice reaction to a very good film. Two things. 1. Somewhere on YT someone went to the 'Shawshank' tree and found that it (and the wall) are no longer there. The tree was hit by lightning (?) and eventually died. 2. There are literally 100's of movies that are very good to watch, review and enjoy. Please don't forget the great films from the 1940's, 1950's and 60's. Most reactors do... Take care and good luck with your channel.
thank you for being here!
It's cool that is was a real tree that lived as long as it did. You just know that if a movie with a tree like that were being made today they would simply CGI it rather than scout out and find a real tree like they had to back then.
Nice reaction! Couple things, the overhead shot of the prison is indeed beautiful and was done the old fashioned way, in a helicopter. There wouldn't have been any drones in 1993/1994. Stephen King is from the New England area and most of his stories take place in that area. For instance this story takes place in Portland, Maine not Oregon. Good luck with your channel!
Yeah, half of the “Shawshank Oak” fell due to a storm in late July 2011. The other half was damaged in another storm 7 years later. Due to the damage it sustained, it had to be removed.
@@camillascorner
Camilla!
The tin container that Red finds under the tree has not been there for 30 years. The letter inside was addressed to Red and Andy only met him after he was sent to prison. Andy hadn't yet buried that container there when he told Red to look for it if he ever got out. Andy buried it there after he escaped, hoping Red would one day find it. He gave Red hope because hope is a great thing.
In the original novella, it WAS there for decades. The false identity was set up through Andy's friend (since deceased) outside the prison, protecting most of Andy's assets and money that he'd had before the murder. All the paperwork was hidden in a safety deposit box, and the key to it was hidden in the box in the field. Red mused how tough it must have been for Andy to wonder if the field had been torn up for a new building, or even if some kid found the rock and box and took it with him. But it all worked out. However, I like the film's version better--less unlikely coincidence and more karma for Norton.
I love the hope theme
Some of the subtle nuances that I love about this movie show that it's not actually Andy's redemption, but rather Red's. Andy was innocent and doesn't need redemption, but Red admitted his guilt, and lost hope in the process. Andy helped him to find that hope again, and embracing that hope was Red's redemption. The side-story with Brooks was there to provide contrast for Red. When Brooks left the prison, the camera faced inward, to reflect that he was leaving his home. He had no hope and it left him confused and afraid. When Red left the prison, the camera looked outward, so that we could see through Red everything ahead of him. This
Well, Andy also felt guilt for neglecting his wife. And also withdrawing the money from the bank and closing the accounts can be considered a "redemption" in banking terms.
You picked a great film to start with. The most amazing thing about this film is it wasn't really a box office success, but when it went to VHS Video rental the word got around and it became an utter cult classic watched by millions, it is one of the the greatest films of all time. Great reaction we could see you were genuinely moved by it. Incredible to think also that it was only a Steven King short story called Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption and became this epic film. A film of true hope conquers all, a beautiful ending on the beach after all they had been through with a glorious panoramic shot from above.
incorrect, she should have built up to it- Everything else will pale in comparison ❤
Such a great video! I can’t wait to see what you watch next! 💕
hehe thank you friend!!!
Hey Addie! Love you both! :D
Fun fact: "Red" actually was Irish in the book. Morgan Freeman's line was an inside joke for people familiar with the source material.
Stephen King doesn't only write horror, but he is most well known for his horror stories.
Red's character in the Steven King novella was a red headed Irish man, hence... the Morgan Freeman line "maybe it's because I'm Irish" is a nod to that. Steven King lives in Bangor Maine.
Yes indeed Jake and the short story was called "Rita Hayworth And The Shawshank Redemption". I remember reading the original story as a kid.
@@alk3094 Apparently Clint Eastwood was first offered the role to play Red; which he turned down (thank god).
The character's last name, at least in the movie, is also Redding.
@@GreatOutdoors1 I can only assume they wrote that in for the film when they cast Morgan Freeman, because in the novella his character doesn't have a name except for his nickname Red.
@@jakerobinson5978 Sounds plausible, I never read the novella.
Welcome and congrats on your first reaction. Lookin forward to see more of you . This is actually my favorite movie of all time on all genre
Great reaction...and quite a perfect start to your channel. Subbed! VFX artist here...nice to see a fellow industry peer doing well with reactions and appreciate your insightfulness and film commentary etc. 👏 Working on films, I usually watch movies fully aware of how the sausage is made. This film is definitely one of the ones i can successfully check my "making of" brain at the door and just enjoy (of course, i'll always have my own "someone's on the roof" moments too LOL).
Fun fact...this is literally the first film Morgan Freeman did a voice over for, which is nuts. Dude nailed it out the gate...the rest is history.
I just watched your reaction to Dead poets, then YT recommended this one to me, then I heard you say this was your 1st reaction video... I'm in! subscribed!
The inmates didn’t mean for the new fish to get beaten. Once the guard took notice, even the con who won the bet was telling him to be quiet.
Thanks for clarifying numbnuts.
Other than this, my favorite Stephen King non horror movie is "Stand By Me", directed by Rob Reiner. Reiner also directed Kings' "Misery"". All are amazing and should be seen by movie lovers!
I agree dedcowbowee.
This has my favorite use of subtle foreshadowing in a film. When Andy is telling Red about his plans to move to Mexico, Red tells him that he shouldn’t torture himself with his “shitty pipe dreams”.
And then Andy crawls through a shit-filled pipe to fulfill his dream of escaping to Mexico.
Loved your reaction. You have a new sub! Another king/Darabont collaboration is 'the Green Mile". If you haven't seen it, please consider reacting to it.👍👍
For The Green Mile don't think of Stephen King as a horror writer, but as a writer of topics that are supernatural.
Definitely keep tissues nearby.
Great reaction, your editing skills are top notch. It's hard ro do a major picture justice in 40 minutes, you did it in under 28. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions. Thank you!
This is the greatest film of all time, IMO. Im old enough that i was in college when this was released, and saw it at the theater and was simply never thr same. What storytelling. The script, the performances, the cinematography, the music, the directing, everything about this film is perfect.
Hope you enjoy it.
My oh my, you really put yourself out there! There were no drones in the making of this movie, those were cranes used to take those shots; the Portland referenced here isn’t in Oregon but in Maine; glad you’re watching movies to learn about great actors, directors, keep it going
Note that Stephen King is from Maine, lives in Bangor, I believe.
This is the second movie reaction that I have seen on your channel so far.. and I got to admit you're doing real good. The best thing to do is to show more emotion that will make your channel grow bigger and faster
No, be authentic please.
@JasonTerminator2 ... Yes be authentic but if you're going to cry cry don't hold back just to make yourself look good
Another commenter pointed out what I, and probably 99.99% ppl miss, is the fact the that when Brooks leaves, the camera is outside of the prison, pointing in towards it. But when Red leaves, it points outward! What a great way to show “institutionalization “ compared to freedom!
Welcome to the reaction community, enjoyed your reaction and your comments, just one suggestion don't try to make predictions because in doing so you take the viewer out of the immersion of the movie and you, just a thought. Other than that welcome and I look forward to watching more:)
You picked the perfect movie for your first reaction. Glad to be here to support you. I first saw you on Addie Count's channel reacting to The Hangover. Keep up the yhe good work!
First thing I have to say about your first video is this, you looked very very comfortable doing this. That's a great start! This is a great movie to start with as well. A lot of reaction fans will always check this out.
I'm off to see your other movies now. Take care of yourself!
Great reaction Camilla like always, this is a masterpiece of cinema, A masterclass in pretty much every category. An incredible script, wonderful direction, gorgeous score and phenomenal performances by Freeman and Robbins. Some fun facts about this movie, Stephen King sold the rights for $1,000,
The baseball throwing scene took 9 hours The scene where Andy and Red are standing and talking outside whilst Red is throwing a baseball back and forth took a staggering nine hours to film. Morgan Freeman threw the ball endlessly the whole time. The following day, when he arrived at work, his arm was in a sling.
Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford were considered for Red, and Brad Pitt audition for the role of Tommy but he pulled out of the role because of another movie, later Brad Pitr said he regretted that decision. Red’s mugshot is Morgan Freeman’s son , When you see Morgan Freeman’s papers at one of his parole hearings, there are mugshots of a younger Red attached. These are actually photos of Alfonso Freeman - Morgan’s son. He also had a small part in the movie. He was one of the inmates shouting ‘Fresh fish!’
Stephen King’s novella was titled, ‘Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.’ This was shortened for the film because they didn’t want people to think it was a biopic about Rita Hayworth. This was proven to be true when several actresses applied for the ‘lead role of Rita Hayworth’. Keep up the amazing work.
Great pick for a first reaction video. I've been down the rabbit hole of watching random reaction channels for this, Terminator 2, and Fight Club.
Congratulations on your new YT Reaction Channel and for finally watching The Shawshank Redemption (1994)! I am a fan of Addie's and saw you there so I joined your channel as well.
Frank Darabont adapted 2 other Stephen King stories into movies, and they are also highly regarded: The Green Mile (1999) and The Mist (2007). Bring tissues for The Green Mile and expect a true horror style for The Mist. Don't look up anything else. Be surprised by the films and who is in them when you read the opening credits.
2:12 As a kid I saw Morgan Freeman in _The Electric Company_ (1971-1977), so that’s *my* reference point. Here in Australia, we got both this show and _Sesame Street._
Again, impeccable vibes! Thank you for the content, it is very much appreciated! ✌️💚
Hi. I don't know if anyone told you, but you look a lot like my favorite actress, Lily Collins. Love it! 😍😍😍
Just watched your Hungover reaction and you seem super smart. I love it! It shows here as well, but maybe the editing needs some adjustments. But I am sure you'll get there! 😊
Keep up the good work! 👍
Really enjoyed your reaction and glad to see a new "reactionist" on the scene. I gauge channels on certain movies (this being one of them) like Monty Python & the Holy Grail, The Sixth Sense, Paranormal Activity, Spaceballs and a few others. I can usually gauge a reactor on these few movies and tell whether the will be worthy of my time. I look forward to seeing more of you. Good luck in your future endenvours!
I'm glad you recognized that red had the more pronounced character arc, as the film is about HIS redemption.
Love that film. Great reaction too.
The difference between Red and Brooks was that, even though Red had such a cynical view of hope, Andy gave him hope.
"Is this another piece of on-set terminology?"
People who haven't worked in film won't understand exactly how deep this observation is. In a world of stingers, dead kittens, and Big-Eye Tenners, a "Shawshank Tree" would totally fit right in. Clothespins are called C-47's, for Christ's sake (and if you invert them so they become tweezers, they're called C-74's!).
The moral of this story is don't get involved in the film industry unless you have a great memory.
31:15 1994 saw _Forrest Gump, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Pulp Fiction, Quiz Show_ and _The Shawshank Redemption_ duke it out for Best Picture. Tough year.
Good luck with the new channel from the land of Oppenheimer ( Cillian ). I was sitting on a bench in Dublin the best part of thirty years ago. Coffee in hand, I was looking down at the cobblestones when an old fashioned pair of boots came into view. Panning up, the rest of the person came into view, I could see that he was dressed as a pirate. And he was holding a coffee. He smiled at me - nice weather, he said. ‘Tis, said I - but it ‘Ill be raining soon enough. He laughed - yes, I’ve heard that about the Irish weather. Good day to you, Sir, he said, continuing on his travels. And with that, the man dressed as a pirate and holding a coffee made his way to a distant movie caravan, and as I watched Morgan Freeman depart, I could see that the man had that touch of stardust bequeathed to just a few.
Im an instant fan! Cant wait to follow you on your movie journey. You will be getting MORE fans real fast ❤
This is in the top 10 of the best movies of all time of most critics and def of us, simpletons top 5 for sure.
Nice to see a new reactor and someone who works in the movie biz is kinda cool too. Are you allowed to talk about the movies/shows you've worked in or not really, NDAs type of thing?
Look forward to your reactions n I hope you haven't watched all or most at least, of my favorites 😁
The Green Mile is a great movie to watch, related to this, since it's set in a prison, of sorts n also Frank Darabont directed it n it's based on the novel by Stephen King as well. I'm positive you'll like it as much as this one maybe.
Stephen King is more than Horror, he specializes in writing about everyday people in crazy situations. Yet, the publishers put that Horror label on him and everyone not familiar with him accepts it.
Stephen King wrote the novel, on which Frank Darabont wrote the script. But the cheque for the movie rights was never cashed by Stephen King. He sent it back to Darabont in a frame. along with a note: "In case you ever need bail money. Love, Steve"
That famous Shawshank tree was hit by lighting somewhen in 2010ish, and the farm owner had to cut it down due to safety reasons. A friend of mine got a pen made of the wood from that tree he found on Etsy. Neat thing.
Nice job, Ms Camilla. In the event it hasn't been pointed out earlier, note Andy's hammer was buried in the Book of Exodus (26:20).
What a great movie to be your frist reaction! Looking forward to seeing many more.
Great 1st reaction! Personally I'd love a longer reaction with more movie but still an awesome job!
You picked a good one for your first reaction video, that's for sure. Amazing movie.
Hi Camilla! Popped over from Addie's channel. Hope things are going well. Good movie to start out with!
Came over from Addie's channel, i think i'm in love with those eyebrows, new sub right here
When Red tells Andy that going to Mexico is “shitty pipe dreams“, it foreshadows Andy crawling through a pipe of shit to escape.
Wow, what a first reaction for a channel. Excited to see all the great classics we'll get to see you watch for the first time. I'll recommend Saving Private Ryan (in the hopes that you haven't seen it yet).
Congratulations and best of luck on your new journey. I'm a big fan of reaction videos by women and people of color, and I hope for the best for you. Solid debut. One thing about this movie I never see mentioned is when Red goes before the parole board, the first time, he is told to "sit down," the second time, just "sit," and the third time, "please sit down" (something similar). I have a feeling either Stephen King or Frank Darabont consciously made this progression. Looking forward to more.
Great reaction! I instantly subscribed. I am excited to see your future content
If you're interested, the Rita Hayworth movie they were watching is "Gilda".
Great movie!
If you are into films, I would highly recommend "Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa. It has been VERY influential to films that came afterwards from Westerns to Star Wars.
And it and other Kurosawa films are not written in the traditional western 3 act structure but the traditional Japanese 4 act structure called Kishotenketsu.
Great reaction good luck on your new channel watching from Canada
Nice reaction. Steven king is known for horror but he has also written a number of dramatic novels. Another movie considered to be one of the greatest is “the green mile” and is also based on a Steven king novel. You should definitely check it out.
I would estimate well under half of King's stories are straight horror, but well over half use fantastical or science fiction elements, and almost all of them have some kind of dark themes even if they're grounded in reality.
Check out The Godfather, Godfather 2, The Terminator, Terminator 2, Forest Gump, The Sixth Sense. Everybody reacts to these but there is a reason they do - they are each very good. The Terminator movies are full of laser guns, tracked war vehicles, and human skulls which obviously means these movies are chick flicks but guys like them too. Other worthy chick flicks are Casablanca, When Harry Met Sally, Roman Holiday, and a movie that hasn't gotten reacts - The Horse Whisperer. Other movies - The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Steel Magnolias, and Back to the Future. Each of these movies will blow you away with how good they are. Have fun!!!
Hey Camilla! Just saw you on Addie's channel with The Hangover (hilarious reaction to that, lol). Definitely subbed to your channel after seeing your first reaction is to one of my favorite movies of all time. I saw this when I was 17 and absolutely fell in love with it. I even did Red's final monologue in my theater class, lol. Here's hoping you haven't seen my other three favorites, cause I'd love to see your reaction to those! (Heat, Gladiator, and Interstellar).
Great reaction, subbed for more! If you haven't seen Hot Fuzz then I think you'd enjoy it, lots of fun and it's Edgar Wright so interesting cinematography and a tight script
Oh my, the algo put you in my feed in less.than 3 days post...
Hold onto your seat, this very iconic movie reaction will get alot of viewers and comments
I read a lot of books from Steven King when I was younger, and this was my favorite story of his. It's part of a collection of novellas, with four novellas. I read this one over and over. You were asking, in the reaction, if the movie was different than the book. If the book was more of a horror story. The movie follows the novella exactly as I remember it. It is actually one of the movie adaptions of a book, that is most true to the original story, that I have ever seen. Another one of the novellas, from the same collection, was also made into a movie: Apt pupil. That movie is scary, without it being a horror movie.
@8:46 Cat enjoying their own movie ❤
"Maybe he made a little tunnel with his rock hammer".. 😄
They took the gun into the courtroom during the Rittenhouse trial a few years ago. Actually, the prosecuting attorney picked it up and pointed it at the jury, with his finger on the trigger! sounds insane but it actually happened
Great reaction - I honestly enjoyed watching and listening to it the entire way 🙂 I have also subscribed, since I reward great work ma'am.
i like the shots, when brooks gets out the shot is from the outside looking into the prison, then red gets out, the shot is from the outside looking out. theres all kinds of interesting shots.
They do a second mirror when they are talking about wanting to go back. Brooks says “ so they’ll send me home” and red says “so they’ll send me back”.
Loved watching you watch this masterpiece of a movie. You caught a lot of things in the movie and in your closing thoughts: the the escape, the suicide of the warden, and afterwards: the acting and music (nominations) and Brooke’s story arc. Well seen and percieved.
I can highly recommend Interstellar, have you seen that already?
Other favorites of mine: Amélie, Donnie Darko and Fight Club. 😇
Remember when Red told Andy his dream of going to the Pacific was a “$hit*y pipe dream?” Now remember what Andy crawled through to realize his dream.
For your first reaction, you did a good job
Although Stephen King is mostly known as a horror writer, a substantial chunk of his work is not horror. The Green Mile is another Stephen King prison story, with a more supernatural twist, and is also directed by Frank Darabont. You should also check out Stand By Me, adapted from King's novella "The Body", which was originally published in the collection Different Seasons, which also included Shawshank. It's a coming of age story set in the 1950s with a spectacular soundtrack and a great, All-Star cast directed by Rob Reiner.
This is such a stunning film. I remember the first time I watched it I was absolutely captivated by it. It is the best film I have ever seen. Amazing bit of trivia is that the original ending was when Red was on the bus. Thankfully they added the ending you now see.
Good luck to you. Will key an eye out for you. Send way to o many Shawshank reactions but hoping for some reactions of great movies others don’t react to
Awesome reaction 🎉 very insightful keep em coming ! 🎉
bringing guns in the court as evidence is still very common today and gun safety check are terrifyingly bad.
There was one prosecutor who didn't check the gun himself (Alway make sure the gun is unloaded; each person should check individually)
Then pointed the gun at the jury. (never aim a gun at something you aren't willing to destroy)
With the finger on the trigger.
Breaking all three rules of gun safety.
Fun fact: Jake the crow, is a Corvid family member. They ARE the SMARTEST birds in Earth. The African Grey parrot is the most talkative bird on Earth. So, as I watched this in ‘97 (yeah, I was late to the party), I expected Jake to show up to the park.
Possibly! But what I said was fact! What you said is conjector! Realize the difference?
At the beginning of Different Seasons which contains the novella, Rita Hayworth and the ShawShank Redemption, Stephen King says the 2d most asked question he gets is, "Is horror all you write?". The 1st most asked question is," where do you get your ideas?"
This was such a great movie. I can't wait to see what you watch next!
thanks for watching! ✨
Stephen King also wrote one of the big 80s classics Stand By Me which is not a horror movie.
Many Stephen King stories take place in Portland, Maine. Stand by Me is another great screen adaptation of his work. I wish you success with your channel!
good to know! Stand by Me is on my list!
"The Green Mile" is another Stephen King adaptation that is really great!
The prison where the movie was filmed is actually The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield Ohio. It was closed down due to overcrowding in the 1980's. Hard to believe when you see the size of the place in the movie. It's now a tourist attraction thanks to the film.
th-cam.com/video/gKhuvYrrtn0/w-d-xo.html
Stand by me is centered around the Royal River which is supposedly the river that Andy the the gun into
Decent reaction. Reactors must link the viewer to them and the movie through their reactions; wither they're verbal, physical or emotional. Sure there are many different kinds of viewers! Some live for jump scares (very large percentage), some live for 'shocking content reactions' (IE: watching your reactions to 'severe'/'excessive'/'etc.' scenes; lesser percentage), and a whole slew of others. Most of these noted are fleeting in nature as you should be able to tell and will definitely notice. Most of us viewers have seen these movies at least once! Some like me have seen them countless times. For me, my lifelong friend Roy The ToyBoy brought me to the theater to watch this movie! That in itself was unusual; but I'm thinking we went to Denny's afterwards and were talking about it, and again this was unusual. But we both pretty much loved the film. Except for this YT review I haven't seen it since then... Funny thing happened this weekend - @AddieCounts did a reaction to one of my favies! "Superman" (1978). I hadn't seen that movie since it came out and as I started playing her Patreon version I remembered exactly every single moment of the movie; what was coming next, etc.! LOL I did seen it in the theaters at least twice! I mean I grew up paying for the Superman comics, watching the 2nd TV series, and then 'boom' it came to theaters and that year I was 15. Christopher Reeve was the epitome of Superman! Anyway - there is yet another bunch - those of us whom love to see reactors at least enjoy the movie their reacting to and I’m of this bunch. You clearly liked it at the very least! Not to mention you wanted to learn more things about it. Thing is each and every movie is a universe unto itself! At least that’s how I’ve been treating them since the late 1960’s lol You noted you didn’t like ‘suicides’ or maybe ‘deaths’; sorry, but the Cinematic Universe is filled with them. There are movies that can change you, your views on a lot of things… Movies that will possibly make you physically sick. Sometimes its for ‘shock value’ and other times it is for various reasons. But this is your channel and if you want to stay in that stance, you can. YT editing can be a pain!!! I would recommend that if you run into some issues you can look at other Reactors YT Edits to get an idea! Thing is you want to draw us in via YT edits, showing us a little of the poignant moments (and here again is where looking at other reactors YT edits can help) where you are reacting to something and then draw us over to support. Try not to take ‘negativity’ too hard, ‘this is the internet’ and there are trolls all over the place.
One thing no one else really touches upon - “Generational Gaps”; From “The Silent Generation” to “The Greatest/G.I. Generation, to Baby Boomers, GenX, etc. There are differences between them all, especially when you ‘jump’ generations. For instance - here in “The Shawshank Redemption” the story starts in the late 1940’s; those involved seem to be of “The Silent Generation.” With the members of this generation Religion was a big part of their life; I don’t remember the numbers but I would guess way more than 60% of American’s were religious at that point in time; it was engrained within American Society back then. Much more than ‘today.’ Of the generations I listed many, many things are very similar! How we grew up, what our parents taught us, what was socially acceptable, etc. Thee whole gambit of life. After that, things start to diverge significantly. You asked if this was a Christian Prison, but no - ‘technically it isn’t’ but it was “a given” [remember Algebra?] that ‘everyone was Christian’ or at least religious. I haven’t seen V FOR VENDETTA, so I’m skipping that and jumping to “The Danger Zone” lol OH! Good things! You didn't add in - any meme or gif, etc. of anything not connected to the movie! You were definitely 'into the movie' and that is clear as daylight for everyone to see! LOL YAY! You actually liked and definitely 'hated' to some degree the characters! Some of thee best movies will push you to the boundaries!!! Thee Greatest movies will push you through almost all emotions! Any 'great' movie does that doesn't it? Where you love characters soo much you'd like to hug them! Or characters you'd hate or have soo much disgust towards them soo much so all ya wanna do is to slap some sense into them!!! Or "Satisfying death" is a thing! I am totally embarrassed to say this but there is such a thing! It goes totally against what I was raised to believe, and everything else... But in this incredible Cinematic Universe there are "Satisfying deaths" - where the movie and everyone involved makes you utterly dislike the character soo much that when they finally pass... A feeling of at least "relief" washes over you! Very 'sick' but it's true! Thank you and 'your team' for sharing with us all!
Such a great movie! Good reaction!
So many hay fields in Buxton and everyone of them with rock walls. A monumental task to find the right one. Not sarcasm. Rock walls are everywhere up there, even through the forests.
I saw March of the Penguins at the theater when it came out. It was peak "Morgan Freeman narrates" time.
This movie is a must see, as is The Green Mile. It stars Tom Hanks and was also written by Stephen King.
Fun fact: When Andy escaped $370, 000 dollars in 1966 is equivalent to a bit over 3.6 Million in 2024.
I also suggest the movie American History X
Very very nice . This is my first time here but it won't be my last . Keep it up your great
thank you for being here!
Also... Since you are in the film industry, you might be interested in some of the backstories.
-- You see them sitting and talking so often bc Tim Robbins is so tall.
-- The mug shot you see of Morgan Freeman is his son.
There's a million of these. It's such a great film.
Absolutely will subscribe. You're amazing. Thank you!
When the warden opened the bible revealing the outline of the rock hammer, it opened to the Book of Exodus. Small detail, but a good one.
Well done kid. I subscribe to about a hundred channels and many of them are reactors. Since this is your first, I'm going to take a flyer and subscribe and since I'm an old man I'm just going to call you Kid.
@14.38 very good prediction about the wardens shady dealings 😊😊😊😊😊 good reaction to a classic movie
Two of my all time favorite films are from 1994, this one and Pulp Fiction. So whenever someone watches one and asks for requests, I always mention the other.
I'm commenting early, so when she is famous, I can say I was there at the beginning.
Me too Tofu. me too.
Congrats on your first reaction - good job. A couple of guidelines from watching reactors who have done 100s - include all pertinent scenes. Most new reactors are too short on scenes. The longer the movie, the longer the reaction. Some reactors continuously talk during the movie and miss key info. You did a good job. More good ones to do Forest Gump, The Green Mile (another Stephen King), Saving Private Ryan - all Tom Hanks.
I join the voices who strongly recommend The Green Mile. Another Stephen King story, adapted and directed by the same guy as Shawshank.
Nicely done. You have another new sub. Good luck with the channel!!
Remember Red’s gift from Andy? The harmonica? Did you notice the sound of a harmonica when Red is moving along that rock wall towards the tree?
Welcome, there are many Movie to react ; let’s get into “Business” !
Morgan Freeman has been in so many movies, but IMO one of his best roles was in Driving Mrs. Daisy. Its a movie that takes place over several decades.
LOL. There were no drone shots when this film was made 😊
It shouldn't be embarrassing to you because you're young. That's an obvious life thing you haven't seen all movie references. Life society shouldn't expect movies to be instilled in anyone since birth. It's like in the matrix having everything downloaded in consciousness. Only trivial anyone shouldn't know since birth is that the Powerpuff Girls cartoons is what the cool kids watch 🎬
thanks for the encouragement - eventually I'll understand your Matrix reference!
If you're looking for ideas I'd encourage you to check out the AFI (American Film Institute) list from 1998 of the 100 best American films. It was released as a countdown clip show that aired on CBS. It's here on TH-cam. The list was revamped in 2007. There's also the original list of 400 nominations that AFI cut down to 100. Then they did comedy, musical, romance, thriller lists. It's all on wikipedia. Subbed. Oh, btw Shawshank was left off the '98 list but came in at #74 on the '07 list.
oh I've heard of that - I'll absolutely check it out, thank you!
@@camillascornerwell done first reaction, I'm an old guy so I'll suggest a couple of older movies to react to (if you have seen them of course). Casablanca and Citizen Kane, have fun with your new reaction channel!
Portland, Maine.😜
hhahaha, I _eventually_ realized that!
@@camillascorner Oh yeah, I saw after, lol.
