That old man worked in a grocery store when he got out too much time pasted him by so he carved his name and hung his old ass from the rafter like in a barn or turn of the century church! What was his name? And what did enjoy to do to pass his time? In prison and they the Warden took it away? Funny I was in O.C.C. and I told a man to dab a guy up with one it will be A o K 🌪🫂🌪💯

I'm trying to find one for my wife like the one in the movie. This is her favorite movie. I can't find old rock hammers for some reason.

Surprised he didn’t ask for 3-4 more. Might’ve allowed him to escape years earlier.

Wait, where did Brooks go if Andy's cell was the last one to the wall? #askingtherealquestions

bad ass man and fuuny

I love how smooth Red placed the rock hammer, took a book, and slipped Brooks a pack of smokes. Love this movie.

Kindly pause scrolling and make space for the following information in your memory banks: 1. When the prison warden found the Bible where Andy had hidden the rock hammer, it was in the book of Exodus. Exodus is a Greek word meaning "departure." 2. Red describes Andy's dream as "shitty pipe dreams". During his escape to live that dream, Andy crawls through a pipe filled with raw sewage. 3. If Andy had been incarcerated in just one cell to the left he would have had nowhere to tunnel to except the next cell, and thus would have had no amazing story to tell. 4. The three times Red meets the parole board he is told "Sit", "Sit down", and lastly "Please sit down". 5. Although it is never directly stated in the film, Brooks is in prison for allegedly murdering his wife and daughter after a losing streak at poker. 6. Despite being widely considered as one of the greatest movies of all time, it didn't receive a single Oscar win, though it was nominated for seven, including Best Picture. 7. The last word spoken in the movie is "hope", a major theme of the film.

One of my all time favorite, saw it a million times but everytime I see the rockhammer Im thinking "this looks pretty effective for digging a tunnel, why does Red assume it would take 600 years?"

Isn't this guard was the guy getting off the bus first in the intro of movie?

Saw this video yesterday. Felt like ordering a rock pick hammer. So I did. Couldn't find one with a wooden handle. Settled for one with a leather wrapped handle that looks appropriate for when the film takes place. No clue what I'll do with it. Maybe in 600 years I'll manage to tunnel my way to a better world than this joke of one.

The rock hammer is an important part of the movie. Without it, tunneling and escape is not possible. The director put emphasis on this scene..

I have to question the greatest movie of all time here on one thing: Red's "Power" within the walls of Shawshank. We learn from his first scene that Red is "the guy that can get it for you". He has the clout to get almost literally anything smuggled in to the prison and get it to the right people. He does this by controlling a vast network of fellow prisoners, guards, and even outsiders. My question is how? I know inmates with power do exist in prisons, but its never someone who is just a "nice guy". It's usually something with a lot of resources on the outside. Money, information, the ability to control and manipulate others into doing their bidding. At no point in the film do we see Red displaying any kind of "Power". He's completely non-violent, he does not ever maliciously manipulate anyone. He doesn't bully or even intimidate anyone including "new fish". So how does he do it? All we EVER see on the other end of his Acquisitions is an exchange of ..... Cigarettes? Does the film really want us to believe that Red runs this prison empire just on Cigarettes? I understand nicotine is addictive, so MAYBE I can buy the other prisoners going through some degree of trouble for a couple of packs, but remember- this is a world where prisoners are literally beaten to death for stepping out of line. We actually watch one prisoner beaten to death for complaining one time. We see another beaten to paralysis. Then, we see another about to get pushed off of a roof, saved only because the guard could leverage that prisoner for financial gain. We see a prisoner shot, others spending a month in solitary. Do prisoners risk this for a few goddamn smokes? We also see that Red controls the guards as evidenced by the Roof tarring job scene. Red whispers two words into a guard's ear, and gets himself and all of his crew out on the special detail. We also see the Laundry guy is in on it. What's their motivation for helping Red? Can they not get cigarettes on the outside? Why would they risk their careers and possibly jail time for aiding convicts? I cannot believe they would go to this trouble for a pack of menthols. Lastly, How are the Warden and Hadley not aware of Red's empire? The very second the Warden knew Andy was "Good with numbers", he completely altered his environment so that he could benefit from it. He uses inmates to do his laundry, shine his shoes, press his shirts, do his taxes, and makes tons of money off of their slave labor. How does he somehow not know about Red's extreme power to make people do things? In the end, we see Red has no outside power or connections. He ends up another broken down "institutionalized" inmate who can't pee without permission. He works in the sh*tty supermarket and lives in the depressing suicide motel, in the very room Brooks lived in. He has no friends, no resources, and appears to contemplate suicide himself at one point before finally deciding to look into Andy's long rock wall idea. Do I have too much time? Yes. Have I watched this movie 7000000 times? Yes. Is it late at night? Yes. And these are my burning questions. Let's hear the answers Shawshank fans!

What a handsome young man,I must say.

The best $10 purchase ever

not good at math, but Red had to give out 3 packs of cigarettes just to traffic the hammer, $3 mark up on a $7 rock hammer seems like a very bad deal.

Di penjara rokok jadi mata uang.

That rock hammer slipped your mind only 10 minutes later, thinking that it was just filler. Well joke's on you!!

"I finally got the joke: It would take a man about 600 yrs. to tunnel under the wall with one of these." Looks like the joke's on you again Red.

Absolutely brilliant! That rock hammer would go on to become his method of escape from the prison!
