Original Film : The Shawshank Redemption
![[ไฮไลต์] รอบชิงชนะเลิศ "เทนนิส พาณิภัค" ไทย vs จีน Guo Qing เทควันโดหญิง 49kg | โอลิมปิก 2024](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xgvTIdE8j3U/mqdefault.jpg)
Andy gave Red a reason not to commit suicide. Gave him hope. You are correct.
"I could watch that over and over again." So say we all. I've lost track of how many times I've watched it. One of my all-time favorites.
Agreed!! I tend to rewatch this at least twice a year 🙂
VKunia got Shawshanked like the rest of us. Impossible to turn away from it if it's on.
One of those movies that if I come across it channel surfing I will watch it till the end regardless of where it is at. One of the few examples of the perfect film.
Sometimes I have to work out in the middle of nowhere and stay in hotels. On one stint, the hotel I was staying at only had one channel and it played Shawshank Redemption at 4pm every single day. I watched it every time.
Red was literally right when he called going to Mexico a shitty pipe dream.
Why Andy chose Taco tuesday, I'll never understand
Careful your racism is showing
How the hell has that never occurred to me????? 😂😂😂
What a great observation. So many little gems like that strewn throughout the movie. The rock hammer hidden in the Bible under the Exodus chapter was another .... 'you were right warden - salvation lies within' - So good
@@clevelandcbi Some things are just inconceivable. Like how Christopher Guest’s fingers in The Princess Bride go up to 11.
"I don't suppose it would help to tell them I'm not homosexual."
"Neither are they. You'd have to be human first."
They don’t qualify.
Fun Fact: When Brooks goes free, the camera looks to the inside of the prison, but when Red goes free it looks to the outside, just freedom. What a masterpiece
I never pickup on things like that
@@920WASHBURN This masterpiece is MUCH deeper than anyone who watches this only once or twice knows... but unlike Red said in the yard, it's no "shitty pipe dream" 😉
When red and Andy have their last talk in the yard, the sun shines on Andy while red is in the shadow
Bravo, Vince
Kind of irrelevant. Doesn't make the story any better. And you are probably one of 10 people in the world that knows this. Guess people not knowing it affected the ratings of this movie eh? 🙄
When the Warden comes and searches Andy's cell, he literally hold the bible with the rock hammer in it. And Andy keeps his cool so perfectly. All the Warden had to do was actually open the Bible, but he didn't.
And he says, "Salvation lies within," which was especially true in Andy's case.
And when the warden finally does open it, the first page is Exodus.
"You were right, warden. Salvation lies within!"
I always think people miss that after the reveal. Esp when he starts walking out with it before he hands in back to Andy. Andy's heart would have been beating out his chest and he kept his cool.
Yeah I noticed that only after second watch. That man was calm as a rock holy sh*t.
This is one of those movies, where if you flip passed it on cable TV, you have to stop and watch some of it, and if you watch some of it, you have to stay around until the end.
That is exactly how I discovered this movie. Flipping channels on cable and going, "Huh, what's this..."
And getting hooked to the end.
Since you asked , sewer pipe is made of cast iron. It’s actually a little brittle, so it can be broken with a hammer or a rock. Great reaction as usual.
They did take some license though as the sewer pipe is not under pressure but the gushing looked more dramatic.
or ceramic
I bet you a 10k it is clay.
Thats why it is clay. Very easy to break through. Hence why most older homes still to this day have clay sewer pipes are roots from trees penitrate them causing sewer backups.
Yes to the clay pipe. It looks like terra cotta (clay).
"Get busy living or get busy dying..." damn right.
I suffer with depression and anxiety.
Sometimes I remind myself that hope is a good thing maybe the best of things, and a good thing never dies.
I, too, suffer from depression. A number of years ago, I was helped by a young woman I've never met, who was herself going through stress and anxiety, health problems, and was pursuing her dream. What helped me was supporting and encouraging her in her pursuit... now she's successful and an expert in animal nutrition. To paraphrase Eugene Morrow from Gattaca: she lent me her dream.
On the bad days nowadays, I remind myself of what I want on my tombstone if I don't d-e by my own hand:
"I win".
Life didn't beat me.
It is astounding that The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, and Pulp Fiction were all the same year. Also Lion King, Ace Ventura, and the Mask. All 6 of those are among the most rewatched movies of the 90s.
That's wild, I grew up on all of those
also True Lies, Dumb and Dumber, natural born killers
Don’t forget about Brandon Lee’s performance in “The Crow.”
Never again.
Wait Ace Ventura AND The Mask? Holy shit Jim Carrey golden era
Stephen King in a 2016 interview said that “Shawshank Redemption” is his personal favorite film adaptation of his work.
I'd like to think that Stephen believed that his trilogy, *The Stand* was a close second.
I can't even think of another adaptation that would come close.
@@dangshnizzle6929 Green Mile is pretty much neck in neck imo.
@@noblenurgle8609Nah..The Green Mile is great but The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest film of all time, in my opinion.
I read in interview he did where he said that the screenwriter for "The Mist" changed the ending... And he liked the screenwriter's ending better.
The guard is also the voice of mister crabs once you know you'll always never unhear it
18:36 "Hope is a dangerous thing."
33:53 "I hope I can make it across the border. I hope."
Such a great movie.
But later Andy's letter says "Hope is a good thing...maybe the best of things" Its the one thing that can keep us going and maybe even to survive
The original ending of the movie was Red on the bus talking about how he hopes to meet his friend. Later during test screenings people wanted to see them actually reunite so the producers made the director film the beach scene with Andy and Red in post-production.
The beach scene feels exactly as tacked-on as it is, but I don't begrudge viewers for wanting that level of closure.
@@chrissmalley83 I agree, though it might have worked had they kept the original ending, then silently added the beach reunion scene after the credits.
However, by there not being any dialogue it maintains the books ending. The last words written and spoken..... *_"I hope."_*
@@3Rayfire There was a line of dialogue originally where Andy referenced needing a man who can get things, but Darabont cut it for being too whimsical and cute. He said no script was ever more improved by throwing out a line of dialogue like a giant turd than this one.
I first watched this movie a few weeks ago on a flight home, while mentally hoping to find a sense of direction, and it left a profound impact on me.
The messages of "purpose" and "not letting hope die" resonated deeply. These messages make the journey that more fulfilling as we see Andy and Red overcome their pasts and find redemption.
"Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side." - Both literally and figuratively.
“I could watch that over and again.”
Oh, you will. You will.😂
"I could watch this over and over again" welcome to every dads dream on TNT in the '00s
Admittedly we all kind of owe Ted Turner's cable networks a great debt. The Princess Bride and Shawshank were on regular rotation on TBS and TNT and that's how most of us got to see them.
The escape reveal is one of the best reveals in all of cinema. The camera panning backwards through the hole? Perfection.
Then everyone leans over and peers into it.
That shot of Hadley, the Warden and Red peering into that tunnel has been my computer wallpaper for many years.
@@jgrey8959 My Dad and I recently visited the Mansfield Reformatory where they filmed majority of this movie, and we got to take a picture using the tunnel. As I grew up in the 90's watching it on TBS with my dad, it's one of the cooler father/son photos we've ever taken
Well written, brilliant casting, perfectly paced. This truly is the perfect film
GOD-tier pacing. A textbook case study of story pacing in film
@@A_Qwynide honestly the best pacing I can think of in any movie. An emotional rollercoaster in the best way
The greatest movie ever made.
"Either you get busy living or get busy dying."
Not even the best prison drama film, which is Midnight Express.
@@DavidZ4-gg3dm wasn't aware you had the truth, now i know
“Hope is a good thing, the best of all things”
Great yes, greatest no
@@Beardo2517 what is the greatest of all time, you seem to be the man to talk to about this
The prison is old and the pipes were made from CAST IRON which is brittle, and deterioration is ripe so when pee and poo is a constant it gets eroded(facts). Almost as weak as ice. Anybody who knows geology knows that....Andy did!
The pipes could also be made out of thick terracotta depending on the age of the prison as well.
In the book Andy had access to the prison blueprints when building the library and used those to plan his escape.
@@benschultz1784They looked like terracotta to me also
Most likely cast iron given the age and location of the prison.
Also I don't think terracotta would make that noise when hitting it with a rock
Brooks & Tommy deserves so much better.
Brooks didn't have a family when he got out because he killed them, according to the novella. In the movie, the character was intentionally made more sympathetic. Specifically, he killed his wife and daughter after losing at gambling.
@@TangentOmega Like The Boys, sometimes the adaptation is better than the original
^^^^ Best example I know of is Jaws. The book was honestly crap imho. SOOOO glad Spielberg and the writers didn't follow the storylines. For instance, Hooper was banging Mrs Brody in the book. Making him likable was a much better plan.
I guess I just miss my friend. One of the best lines ever.
OMG!! soooo excited u picked The Shawshank Redemption. This movie is a Masterpiece of cinema. The Holy Grail of all movies. The Mona Lisa of motion pictures. The Shawshank Redemption is my #1 favorite movie ever. Ive seen its so many times and it still pulls at my heartstrings. Loved your reactions and seeing the emotions. Great Job. Keep up the good work
I get the feeling you like this movie a bit.
The one movie where everyone is allowed to shed a tear
Ranked #1 film of all time on the IMDB website. Now you know why.
7:55 RED: Red. Name's "Red."
ANDY: Why do they call you that?
RED: Maybe it's because I'm Irish.
For those that don't know this, there's more to it behind Red joking that everyone calls "Red" because of the simple fact that he's Irish, it's actually a nod to the original story the movie is based on; "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" . You see in the original story, Red is a actually red-haired Irish-man and Andy was supposed to be described as being a very short (shorter than the average man) but brilliant man (much like the film).
Even though his character was SUPPOSED to be played by an older white guy with red hair to be more in sync with the original story, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we CANNOT picture anybody else other than Morgan Freeman playing the part because of the fact that he was just TOO perfect for the role for him NOT to be cast.
This is a very cool info and so wholesome
The filmmakers were ahead of their time, well before Netflix and Hollywood started replacing gingers with black people lol.
In the book, he was a red head.
Wild. If this were made today people would cry “woke” and review bomb. 😂😂😂
I can’t picture anyone other than Freeman playing Red because of his narration throughout….I mean honestly his voice and narration is unmatched.
The Brooks being released chapter is like a rock hammer to the soul, it starts small but then makes a big hole.
This movie really shows us the value of financial literacy
'I could watch that forever. I could watch it like over and over again.' Yup. It is among the films that I've watched over and over again the most in my life. I'd estimate 300 times, although I didn't count. This is a perfect drama. It expertly juxtaposes the emotional highs and lows, engages you with credible characters and situations throughout, the performances are amazing. Just 3 reasons this is IMDB's top-rated film.
I never get tired of watching this movie. Still holds up after 30 years. Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, two of the best.
In my opinion, tim robbins wasn't always that great an actor. He had a few acting boners before he came into his stride. That came about with Bull Durham. After that he pretty much shined as an actor.
Morgan Freeman, always a great actor.
@@wal6377 This and Hudsucker Proxy basically cemented him as a great in my eyes.
"why he chose to escape on enchilada night i'll never know"
Nice LOL
to be fair, a poop river is easier to crawl through than the poop rockslide.
"What the batman didn't know is the joker hadn't actually escaped"
CHIMICHANGAS DO YOUR STUFF
'Uh wait someone's down here please don't flush anything!'
As a caver who's crawled through a tight passage called 'Colostomy crawl' filled with liquid mud, liquid slurry, though disgusting, would act as a lubricant and make it much easier to slide through the pipe. Espcially if it has a downward tilt to the river.
the fact that the captain also plays Mr Krabs in SpongeBob
Is that true or are you messing around? Lmao. It BLEW MY MIND when I was watching Shakes The Clown and realized that the guy who does SpongeBob voice (Tom Kenney) was also the cocaine addicted birthday clown. Lol. This is about to BLOW MY MIND again to realize that captain Hadley in Shawshank was also Mister Krabs.
Same it hard to believe
@@jimmymcgill2772 That's Clancy Brown. He's Mr. Krabs in Spongebob Squarepant and Byron Hadley in The Shawshank Redemption and Surtur in Thor Ragnarok.
Nah, that was The Kurgan.
Also, Red Death in The Venture Bros and Lex Luthor in the DCAU.
I consider this to be one of the greatest movies of all time with one of the greatest endings ever.
One of the brilliant touches I love about this is the subtlety of its depictions of freedom. Andy was a prisoner, yet was always free, while Red and Brooks were still prisoners even when they were no longer in prison. It's no coincidence they reference cages and birds so often, as one represents imprisonment and the other freedom, and when Brooks is leaving prison he lets Jake go.
4:58 delousing powder. Flees, Bed Bugs, Body Lice was a serious deal back then. Diseases can spread rapidly in a prison so new entries were well.. deloused, with an insecticide powder.
The Shawshank Redemption is my favourite movie of all time. I remember when I first saw it back in I think 1998? when I was in high school. My 10th Grade english teacher had us watch it and write a paper about it (I can't remember what the assignment was exactly) and I just...fell in love. I've seen it a gagillion times since then and it never fails to give me goosebumps when I re-watch it (which is at the very least once a year and that isn't including watching reaction videos like yours lol). This is a film, in my opinion, that gets better and better with every watch. Everything about this film to me is a masterclass in cinema. It performed rather poorly at the box office for some reason but seemed to gain its footing through VHS rentals and sales and now it's considered to be one of the greatest films of all time.
The Novella by Stephen King titled: Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, is slightly different but it's pretty much the same. You should read it when you have the chance!
16:33 "I don't know why this is making me so sad."
Just wait a minute...
This film has been number one on my list ever since I saw it the first time. It's one of the few films that I am always happy to watch again, no matter how recently I saw it last.
This wasnt a full length book,it was one of 4 novellas in a collection by King and this was probably the closest you could get a film to the original.
Prison being a place for rehabilitation is a more modern concept and is/was rarely part of the process in America.
The novela provided more context than the movie could due to time constraints.
This is possibly one of the finest movies ever made
Cool sunglasses my man
The debate is whether it's the finest not if it's one of the finest.
You know why it's so good? Because there's not a single woman in it to spoil it 😂
Definitely top 5 all times
This, and Champagne & Bullets.
This is one of the ultimate “Dad” movies, like it isn’t Father’s Day until you watch Shawshank Redemption on TNT lol
And the 007 days of Christmas interrupted by Die Hard every 12 hours
Its become almost the boring answer to say but it truly is the greatest film I have ever seen
I've studied this movie as part of the English exam this year. It was a great film to talk about the characters and themes
Fun fact: The scene of Brooks feeding a maggot to Jake, which was monitored by American Humane Society (AHS). AHS took an objection to make use of live maggot and kill the insect while filming the scene. So the society suggested the team of The Shawshank Redemption to use a naturally died maggot for the filming. Thus, the crew had to search for a naturally dead maggot and complete the shoot of that particular scene :)))
Don’t those shits have anything better to do? Guarantee any one of them would’ve screamed and thrown the damn thing if they’d found it in their food and then taken off running.
Red was rejected the first two times because he was just going through the motions, ticking the boxes, giving them what he thought they wanted to hear. And they knew he wasn’t sincere. The final time, he said it from the heart, the bare truth…and so was accepted.
Also 40 years is like a soft cut off for Life sentances. It may be it did not matter what he said ever, they were just going to release him after 40 years.
And the parole board members had progressed. The first two times it was a bunch of old guys, but in 1967 it's a younger group headed by a much younger man, and a woman on the board as well.
I think I've watched more than a 1000 movies and I work in the film industry. I truly, to this day, believe that this is objectively the best movie ever made. Every scene is so good, EVERY scene. It has the best pacing I've ever experienced in a movie. Just when it COULD get stale, the scene ends perfectly and we seamlessly transition into an even better scene. Truly inspiring.
Vicky eating pretzels and showing the Warden sass should be a meme. 18:12
Walking in the warden's shoes is a pretty darn symbolic statement about guilt and self-forgiveness.
Remember that this is Red's story, not Andy's. It's not about Andy's innocent imprisonment and subsequent escape and justice, it's about Red's redemption. His being saved from the same fate as Brooks.
Of course it's Andy's story. He was an uncaring, cold, distant workaholic who drove his wife away and ended up evolving into the compassionate, caring, humanistic person at the end of the film. That's his redemption.
At no point has Frank Darabont or King (or even Morgan Freeman) ever claimed the focus of the story is on Red.
That’s your interpretation, I don’t agree that it’s not Andy’s story. Both are redeemed, thanks in large part to their friendship.
@@MrPicklerwoofdude, no way Andy did that. Even if he said it. He was always the same man you met. He just blamed himself, as we often do.
@@reedbecker But it's literally the whole point of Andy's character. I get the feeling this film has been watched so many times, and people are so over-familiar with it, that some are projecting random new ideas onto the story and inventing new meanings.
@@MrPicklerwoof Never denied that Andy didnt have his own redemption, but it's Red's story. He is narrating, and when Andy escapes, it continues with Red in prison until he gets out with only clips of what Andy did through Red's retelling. We see more of Red's journey to meet Andy than we did Andy's journey of freedom.
This movie is rated #1 IMDB best movies of all time.
The story, the acting, the characters, cinematography, etc are all first rate.
I *still* love watching this movie, and still love watching reactions to this movie.
(One quick fact: When the warden opens up the Bible near the end, the rock hammer is hidden in the Chapter of Exedus, where the Jews flee Egypt. Just a minor point, that lends to how good this movie is)
The sewer pipe wasn’t made of metal. It was terra cotta pipe which is the same material they make flower pots from but in this case it’s thicker and stronger.
masterful writing
The story this is based on is called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Because Rita Hayworth is the first poster Red gets for Andy. The sections of the story are all based on the change of posters - rita hayworth, marilyon monroe, and Raquel Welch (who recently passed away) and possibly a couple of others, i dont remember.
The story is one of 4 in a stephen king book called Different Seasons. Of that, 3 of the stories were made into movies. The other movie from the book that became a hit is Stand by Me, which is based on the story, The Body. The 4th story is very macabre and could never be made into a movie. The story, Apt Pupil, was made into a movie of the same name and while it wasnt as big as the other two movies it has a bit of an underground following.
The book, and the original cut of the movie, both ended with Red's monologue and the words "I hope". But test audiences hated that so they added the final scene to the movie.
The part when Brooks gets released and what he goes through always gets me crying.
“Why he chose enchilada night, I’ll never know.”
😂🤮😂
Author Stephen King loved this film so much he mailed the royalties check back to writer/director Frank Darabont. Darabont also directed other King adaptations like THE GREEN MILE, THE MIST, and a short called THE WOMAN IN THE ROOM. Film critic Roger Ebert supposedly joked Darabont's entire career depended on adapting Stephen King stories.
If so that's a hell of a career.
Yep, this is one of the rare perfect movies. I've seen it more times than I can count, and there isn't a single plot hole or inconsistency.
I kept hoping for a sequel, where that Elmo Blatch goes to Mexico, and checks into Andy’s motel.
I don't understand why would Andy need all that headache with a new trial and evidence to get released from prison if he has already finished digging up the tunnel and everything was ready for escape?
16:00 You don't know just how right you are with that statement. When a person gets out of prison, if he has no family left, it is starting all over again, except this time you have nothing but the shirt on your back. I knew too many that went to prison and when they came out, they had nothing and they committed more crime to go back, because it was safe while locked up. The old saying, three hots and a cot. In prison I was told you have really no worries, except to stay out of trouble.
34:27 I have watched it over and over again many times. It is a very good movie. It's down to Earth and very heartwarming.
Someone needs to mention that the guy who played Hadley is also the voice of Mr Krabs on SpongeBob
Get busy liking, and get busy subscribing (To VKunia). You damn right. - Ellis Boyd Redding, probably.
If you want a fun fact, the guy at the start that say," FISH, FRESH FISH TODAY!" Is Morgen Freeman's son
34:23 "I could watch this over and over again". I've been watching it over and over for 30 years. It's one of those movies that, if you stumble upon it while channel surfing, you just have to put the remote down and watch the rest of it. Almost every Gen X American has seen this movie more than a dozen times. Back like 20 years ago some cable networks would play Shawshank all the time because it was guaranteed to suck viewers in. This came out in 1994, same year as Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, True Lies, Lion King, Dumb & Dumber, Ace Ventura, and about 30 other great movies (IMO, 1994 was the best year for movies, ever)... and was a box office flop in the theaters, but in home rentals, it dominated... and continues to be one of the most re-watched movies of all time.
Like Forrest Gump this is one of those films that I don't think anyone gets tired of. And people say narrating in films sucks... and both of these films have plenty. LOL
Don't get tired of The Outsiders (1983) is also rewatchable. Also, American History X & The Sixth Sense
1994 was a remarkable year for movies.
Ive never heard anyone say that, especially not someones opinion i would take seriously
" The Streets Of Fire " - " Empire Of The Sun ".
Wonderful reaction, Vicky. This is one of the best films ever made. Your reaction was so honest. ❤
Easily one of the best movies of all time
For the price of the Rock Hammer, $10 in 1949 would be roughly $130 today.
It's a lot of shipping and handling....
One if the best movies every made. I had the great fortune of visiting the Ohio State Reformatory where the movie was filmed. Unfortunately, the tree is dead but I did get a pen that was made from that tree.
I remember hearing about those pens. What a great piece of cinema history, and so much meaning from the film!
The word masterpiece gets used too iften to describe things but that word perfectly describes this movie. Morgan Freeman is possibly the greatest actor in history and his voice is so iconic i bet most people around the world can identify him from it.
In 30 years, I don't think I have ever encountered a single person that didn't appreciate this movie...which is probably why it's the highest user rated movie of all time on IMDB
Loved your reaction and the compassion within it. Even before prison privatization, prisoners were being used to make money. The 13th Amendment that people typically think of as the one that ended slavery carved out an exception for prisoners. So after union soldiers left the South, laws were created just to in prison black people and force them back on to the plantations. This was the beginning of the Jim Crow era.
There is no situation a cop (including prison guards) can't make worse and few cops who will actually make them better.
V: "Oh, someone's gonna come and shake things up, aren't they?"
Me: "My dear, you have no idea..."
I loved how you reacted to "Randall Stevens" getting all his hard-earned cash from the warden's bank accounts! Even those of us who didn't say it out loud were thinking it. And yes, the warden in this movie is a complete and utter hate sink.
You’re absolutely right about the book (which is actually a novelette) and its connection to the movie. I read the novelette long before the movie was given the green light. It quickly became one of my all-time favorite reads. And then the movie-also one of my favorite films ever- it didn’t disappoint. It’s a rare occurrence when both the book and the movie are equally wonderful.
To this day, this is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it at least once a year. Looking forward to this reaction. Just made my day with it.😊
I remember after the first time I watched it, whenever it aired on cable TV, I would always watch it, even if it was already half-way through. Such a classic.
IMO Morgan Freeman's best role🙏🏽
it made him....he was an struggling underrated actor till then with drug and alcohol addiction. it straightened him out.
Imo tied
with Crazy Joe Clark
One of my favourite lines didn't make it through your edits... "I like to think the last thing to go through the wardens head, other than that bullet..." I love that line.
This movie hit different, and like you many of us can watch this over and over and over again. It never fades, you'll always want to see it again.
Agreed, though I appreciated her keeping in a line I under appreciate, "The warden deprived us of his presence."
"I feel like the warden symbolizes something." Yeah...hypocrisy and corruption. And Andy did actually claim he was innocent when Red asked him. But the running joke in the prison was everybody was innocent, so they obviously wouldn't have believed him.
My mom once complained that my stepdad has to stop and watch Shawshank whenever its on. She was so taken aback when me and my little brother both said same. It's just that good.
" get busy living or get busy dying" When people ask what's your favorite movie you now know why people say Shawshank.
Fun fact Hadley is mr krabs
I know the guard Byron Hadley is Mr. Krabs and I just see/hear Mr. Krabs when he's on the screen. But if you like this kind of movie, there's an early 2000s show called Prison Break you might like (it's almost like Shawshank but has alot of conspiracy and a love story thrown in). I've rewatched it so many times, and every time, I see something new and am still impressed by everything about the show.
$10 in 1949 is worth $132.00 today; it was worth it. I have seen this movie so many times. It is still the highest-rated movie on IMDb and has been for years.
Andy & Red Brothers for life.
Great reaction 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.
The tree at the wall was felled by a thunderstorm a few years back and was cut down and ripped out. It's unfortunately not there anymore. :(
This and Hearts In Atlantis are my favorite Stephen King films. My college friend Mika is in Hearts as the girl. Shawshank is one of my top 10 films of all time. I really love how he built up that library. Just like any prison library, it had its prose and cons. Oh, and I never noticed before this reaction video that the ending is foreshadowed by a line that Red says. When Andy is talking about going to Mexico and fixing up a boat, Red calls it "sh*tty pipe dreams". Considering Andy's escape route, that is hilarious! Another film based off a book that I love is The Rainmaker.
The director wanted to end the movie with Red starting his bus ride south, but the studio insisted he film the reunion with Andy and Red.
A very rare case of studio interference being a great idea. Plus after months of filming in a depressing old prison, they got a trip to the beach.
Because test audiences demanded the reunion. The studio listened. Otherwise what’s the point of test audiences…
@@zimvader25the test audience was right.
It could have worked really well if they just used the same shot of the back of the bus but with some overlaying jazzy harmonica music being played by Red.
I think ending on the bus would have been the perfect ending, really. Of course I get why people prefer the reunion ending, but to me it's much weaker.
Capt Hadley is Mr. Krabs
Spongebob me boy, I've been convicted of a crime I didn't commit. I want yous to meet me with da formuler down in mexico
There's a reason when this is playing on a cable channel...they'll play it like multiple times every weekend for months at least once a year. It's literally a yearly holiday season of Shawshank for like 2-3 months. Yes, you can watch it forever and it gets that respect. 😁
I remember when this movie came out i saw it in the theater not really knowing anything about it. After i saw it i told all my co-workers, friends and family that it was the best movie i had ever seen !
One of the most important Reaction Videos! Also, Predator, Terminator 2, Forrest Gump, Star Wars and Up♥️♥️♥️
YESSS!!!!!!! One of my ALL-TIME faves!!!!!
Judging by the sound, I wanna say those sewer pipes were made of cast iron. Cast iron is really strong until you hit it with something lol. You can break it apart with just a simple hammer.
I enjoyed watching you react to this movie... Is one of my favorites too... This one proves that you only need a good script to make an epic movie... No CGI, no 50 feet monsters, light sabers or zombies... Just a human tale with Redemption at the end.
Alright, Count of Monte Cristo 2002 next!
* The warden is also the same actor who Ace Ventura "tortured" by scratching plates in When Nature Calls (which also namecalled Shawshank Redemption).
Easily a top 5 movie for me. I'm just super surprised this movie wasn't already on this channel hah.
Different Seasons, the King collection of 4 novellas, is an absolute masterpiece. Gave us The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me - 2 utterly amazing movies. It also has Apt Pupil, haven't seen the movie, but the story was chilling.
Love this movie. I never get tired of watching people react to it. Closest I can get to seeing it for the first time. I always look forward to people's reaction to the maggot scene with Brooks only to realize he was giving it to a little bird pet he had. But, yeah, this movie gives me that warm fuzzy feeling with the ending but also because it reminds me of the 90s since that was when it was released.
