That's the point of the film. The Shawshank "Redemption" is about Red's redemption. People think the movie is about Andy, but it's not. Andy never changes. He's always full of hope.

Hannah picked up on the fact that Andy had to go back to the tree to stash the note and money AFTER he escaped. I wonder how amazed she’ll be when she stops and thinks about the timeline around Tommy realizing when Andy was tossed in solitary and Tommy was shot, the hole was already completed. Andy stayed in prison-hole completed-on purpose to “redeem” Tommy. He left only after that was thwarted by Norton.

[@JO-qd2bv]

I like the idea of that but do we really know that from the film? How do we know he didn't just complete the hole later.?

[@iambecomepaul]

@@JO-qd2bv It’s the film that tells us. Consider what we saw about the length of the tunnel. That took 20 years… now stick a thumbtack in that for a minute. Let’s now go back to when Tommy describes Blatch. At the minimum, the great vast majority of the tunnel must have been complete. Andy rushes to the Warden… ends up in solitary (no digging). Tommy is shot. Andy left in solitary for another 30 days (no digging). Andy out and back in the yard (Red is coming up to him as if this is the first seeing him in 60 days). Buxton instructions. Some time passes but you’re to infer it isn’t a GREAT amount of time because Red is worried (based on the Buxton instructions convo). Andy has rope now. The movie shows us Andy moving through a completed hole, rope around leg. There just isn’t enough time in the timeline for any SUBSTANTIAL digging or rock removal. Maybe a little bit but we are to understand the quick turnaround from Andy out of solitary to Warden “missing him” to Andy escaping means the hole was already complete. That tunnel took a hot minute to dig. He stayed in prison on purpose, tunnel ready. 😊

@@iambecomepaul "Some time passes but you’re to infer it isn’t a GREAT amount of time because Red is worried (based on the Buxton instructions convo)" This is a good theory but the problem is that we have no idea how much time has passed between scenes, which you yourself acknowledge is a hole in the theory. I think it's safe to say that the tunnel was almost completed but whether or not it was _already_ completed at that time is totally open to interpretation.

It was a pleasure reliving this phenomenal film through Hannah. All of the the bumps she felt we all felt.

[@stephenfitzgerald9769]

Jake is actually a raven, which is another layer of symbolism within the film itself: Ravens are associated with mortality, but also with intelligence, communication, and knowledge; hence it is fitting that he reside in the library with Brooks, a purveyor of knowledge. In Ireland and Scandinavia, ravens were also associated with kingship, and Brooks was king of the prison in so much that he’d been there the longest and had wisdom to impart to the other inmates. When Brooks releases Jake, it symbolizes the loss of his knowledge, his importance, his ‘kingship’, so to speak. The king died and his faithful servant was released from service… … symbolic as the Viking sagas.

This film is a roller coaster of emotions, but the sadness only makes you appreciate the happiness that much more.

[@TheGoofyBuddha]

Exactly. If Andy had gotten released and exonerated in the first ten minutes no one in the world would give a crap. The fact he went through so much, like a modern-day Job, and still was able to not just feel hope for himself, but was able to instill it in others is what makes this movie one of the most powerful films ever made. Andy Dufresne was a quiet, kind and caring, unassuming, non-violent man whose soul could never be shattered by the savagery he was surrounded by for decades. Instead, he molded that violent world to HIS making, finding a way to bring enlightenment, joy, and most importantly HOPE to some of the most hopeless souls he could ever meet. Andy was a long-suffering angel among men. ESPECIALLY when you consider he had finished the tunnel YEARS before he escaped. The reason he held off was PRECISELY because he knew what the likely consequences would be for his fellow prisoners. For before the Warden killed Tommy (adding a blatant MURDER to his crimes) Andy probably felt if he escaped, even if he disclosed the Warden's graft, he might survive such a scandal, and would take his revenge out on all Andy's friends and associates. It was only once the Warden killed Tommy that Andy felt he might have enough to get the State Police involved and risked it.

[@rolanddeschain6089]

You can tell a true masterpiece when the film grows over your lifetime. When you always discover a little more. When it grabs you early but still years/decades later. Maybe in a slightly different way. I think sometimes Andy is a stoic. He often offends the guards but at the same time he also helps them and so many inmates because he wants to be free in his mind. He remains the master of himself. About his feelings, expressions and words. He does not want to become an animal because of external circumstances. If you remain free in your mind, no one can imprison you. Never.

There's one part of the Brooks sequence that really stuck with me. When he's done carving he just stands back a bit and admires his work.

I've seen this movie a dozen times, not including a dozen or more reaction videos. This is the only one that pointed out Red's choice between buying a gun and buying a compass. Nice catch Ash.

[@0okamino]

Yes, I have to wonder how many people really notice how significant that choice is. What do you do with a compass? You find your direction.

[@martin1234512345]

"I dont like it here. Im tired of being afraid all the time." Kills me every time cause thats exactly how i feel. Constant aching fear of everything around me.

[@MrDman21]

Andy is good at reading people. He read the guards, he read the other inmates, and he read the warden. He's the smartest guy in the room.

[@beverett417]

Hannah is really smart. She usually has the movies figured out before the scene, movie, sequence is over👍🙂 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Good job Hannah

[@dnycebushton5008]

Ikr...damn near 100%

FYI Ash, the character being named "Red" isn't symbolism because he killed somebody. This was from a book and the character was a red haired Irishman nick named Red and his comment in response to being asked why he was called that "Maybe because I'm Irish" was a nod to the book. Also the term "Uncle Sam" is an American term for the Federal Government originated from a character in military recruiting posters. There's other references that you misinterpret but not your fault as they are things that are "Americanisms". Love your channel.

One of the most brilliant aspects of this film (indeed one of the best films of all time), is the emotion that it elicits from you concerning a mundane topic such as prison life. Just a masterpiece of writing and acting.

[@leob4403]

Prison life is real. Whats far more mundane in my world are these super hero movies that dont mean anything

[@delfinamosto4632]

Hannah girl you are such a lovely soul. Ive seen this movie a couple of times, cried everytime but im still a amazed by how moved I feel everytime you get emotional. Although I dont know you personally I can feel you through a frigging camera lens. You re golden hun. Love love LOVE this movie and this reaction as usual was beautiful!

[@boreilly82]

Your girl is brilliant. Bless her heart.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Brooks & Tommy deserves so much better.

[@anorthosite]

"Red" was short for "Redding", the character's last name. In the novel, he's Irish. But Freeman and Robbins were perfect in their roles. Hannah picked up (in detail) on what Andy actually did, faster than just about any first-time viewer I've seen on KZbin. You two should review/react to Denis Villeneuve's movie "Arrival". Also some emotionally rough scenes, but a very intelligent science fiction story, full of interesting ideas.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

I'm not sure you can be black and Irish.

[@Yevgeniy-UA]

Finally, you guys are going to react to my favorite Steven King's adaptation

[@lauralynn1124]

I have seen the movie dozens of times and still cry. This movie was based on a short story by Stephen King just like the Green Mile. It's so good because they followed hiscwriting so closely.

[@needsomezzz]

I just found your channel today and I’m really loving you guys. I’ve watched this movie countless times now and it still makes me cry every single time. .

[@seamustheplatypus]

This movie is an absolute masterpiece. From the cinematography, to the flawless acting, the perfect writing, the great music, the pacing, everything is on point. A universal tale of hope and humanity. I must have seen it at least 20 times but it just never gets old. "I guess I just miss my friend" gets me every single time, and Brooks... Plus it has one of the best payoffs in the history of cinema. What a perfect gem that movie is. Of course now you have to see The Green Mile, even though it's probably going to destroy Hannah. 😅

[@carl_consumer.of.reality]

They did Green Mile already

[@sayitpodcast]

I've never met anyone who never cried after the first time they saw this movie. Also, fun fact: it didn't get noticed in theaters because it was released around the same time as Forest Gump.

[@iceYoni]

That "Laugh Now, Cry Later" thumbnail 😂 SYMBOLISMS!!

[@johnioannou7578]

Probably the best adaptation for the screen from a Stephen King book. Ash and Hannah, you should definitely watch ''Scent Of A Woman'' when you get the chance. It is arguably Al Pacino's greatest performance and the one that earned him his only Oscar so far.

[@riseofazrael]

Frank Darabont is great at adapting King. He did The Mist as well.

[@MotjeKnotje]

You guys are putting a smile on my face for the last couple of days. Thank you!

[@mattjones7226]

Don't think Hannah would like Brooks as much if she knew what he did to get in there. I still get emotional at that scene. Just proves how amazing this movie is.

[@S_047]

Same thing with Del in Green mile.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

There's a reason we don't find out what basically any of the other characters did to get put in prison.

[@MsWatcheverything]

what did he do?

[@S_047]

@@MsWatcheverything read that he killed his wife and daughter after loosing a poker streak.
