Sorry for the re-upload mates. This is probably the most difficult video I've ever had to upload. I've re-edited it about 9 times and the reaction was filmed 4 days ago hahah. Hopefully KZbin doesn't knock me aorund anymore with this one, enjoy!

When it comes to Brooks, he got in 1905. Imagine how much the world changed, things that were invented and spread everywhere. He must have felt like on another planet.

[@user-nh1ou6se2g]

..with respect, it doesn't matter what year you start to serve, it's how long you're in. The key was *50 years* omg. So Any year you go in, 50 years later you're coming out to a different world. 😱🙏🏾

@laurabuer4714 No doubt! I'm going to the prison this summer for the 30th anniversary. I'm sure most of the actors and the director will be there. 😊

[@TheTriumphbsa]

Fun fact: Hadleys inheritance from his brother in 1949, was 35K. In today's money, that would be $448,700! The 370K Andy got from Norton's money in 1965, was, adjusted to today's value, actually worth 3,614,900! Now given that the U.S. dollar was always very very strong compared to the Peso in Mexico, you could imho easily round up his buying power to 5-million feasably. With Andy investing just half in the U.S. markets under his fake id(s), and adding some strong Mexican investments and land, even without his hotel, our man (and Red) never had to worry about money ever again. Good for you, Andy!

[@howrued1500]

You had me at ‘Rita Hayworth, the actress?’ Impressed & SUBSCRIBED😊 Some of the best foreshadowing ever in film: When Red tells Andy- ‘Mexico is way down there and you’re up here; those are just sh!++y pipe dreams!’ Yeah they were… And did you notice Andy hid the rock hammer in the Book of Exodus? SUCH an incredible film; consistently lands on Top 10, 5, and even 3 films of all time lists. I know personally I could never see it too many times. Again- fantastic reaction! Stay safe & love big💖

[@intodaysepisode...]

When Brooks left the prison, the camera focused on what was behind him . When Red left, the camera was in his rear, focusing on what was ahead! This movie is amazing! Now you need to see "The Green Mile"!

[@willdallas53]

On the same note, when brooks says he wants to go back to prison he says to send him home. When red says the same thing, he just says send me back.

[@jeremykothe2847]

Thank you for yet another detail I have missed watching this so many times. Brooks releases Jake, who was raised in captivity... Andy walking from the shadow into the light after telling Red where to look for the package...

[@spadams999]

The score was written by Thomas Newman - a master of his craft. He's scored many other popular movies - American Beauty, 1917, Saving Mr. Banks, Tolkien, The Green Mile, Road to Perdition, etc. He has a distinct style that is unmistakeable.

[@josesalgado942]

I remember seeing this movie at the TOP of IMDB’s greatest of all time for years. And I waited years to see it, but when i did my mind was blown and had a similar reaction to yours.

[@mervinmannas7671]

There are some great things to look at on a second viewing. First the picture of red as a young man on the parole sheet is actually a picture of Morgan Freemans own son. In the scene when they talk about hope and Red says 'hope is is a shitty pipe dream' and Andy then escapes through a shitty pipe. The movie was nominated for 9 Oscars aand didnt win a single one. At the time you went to a video rental store and got films to watch for the weekend. Word of mouth spread about tthis film and it now ranks in the top 5 of any poll of the greatest movies ever made. The full title of the short story its based on by Stephen King is 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption'.

[@CaptainTinny]

Andy escaping through a shitty pipe was a good one lmao 🤣

[@intodaysepisode...]

That was ROBBERY that they didn't win any awards!!

[@ilesalmo7724]

The reason why it didn't win any Oscars was because it came out in the same year as Forrest Gump.

[@willdallas53]

Morgan’s son is also the guy making the fishing reeling motion when the new prisoners are coming in.

[@mikemath9508]

i think it was Ted Turner who loved it so he got the rights to show it on TMC for years

[@nolongervailable9400]

If you liked this you should watch Glory with Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington. It's an underrated masterpiece. Also, the Green Mile is one of the best films ever.

[@Bill_Jones.]

You’re absolutely right on the film “Glory.” That’s one of my most favorite films of all time.

[@ajgrant1975]

I think my favorite part of this movie is that Red calls hope a "Shitty pipe dream" and then Andy literally crawls to freedom through a shit filled pipe.

[@Shax22132]

Andy began digging his tunnel soon after he came to prison. For close to two decades, he patiently and methodically planned his escape, never breathing a single word of it to anyone, not even his best friend, Red. And when he did finally escape, he got away without problems, cleaned out the corrupt warden's accounts, got his revenge on those that wronged him most, and left behind both money and hope for Red, to give his best friend something to live for. Incredible. Thanks for the reaction.

[@aru7233]

Knocks my socks off every time. My favorite movie of all time. Some of my other favorites are a little more tightly-written, but none quite as clever and NONE with the impact. It really was masterful, the way they showed so much of the ugly of life so when you finally get to the beauty of the end, it's soooo much sweeter and so well-earned. No moment in movie magic will EVER hit me the way the warden pulling back the poster did, as the music swells and his expression turns to horrified bafflement! Bob Gunton Jr. is my favorite villain of ALL TIME. He was soooooo hateable, but in a totally realistic, twisted way. (And in real life he's a complete sweetheart, and obviously an absolute master of his craft.)

[@robwalsh9843]

This movie encourages you to think, love, plan, cherish and be creative.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

So in Red's first hearing he was just saying what he thought they wanted to hear being all polite or basically a little kid who got in trouble and is trying to get out of it by acting nice, thats why he was rejected then, the second time he still had some of that attitude so again rejected, but the final time he was honest and upfront and even rude to some degree but it showed he really had learned from his mistakes and that was why they let him ou.

[@nathanlarson3632]

You should watch it again! You will absolutely see little things you missed, irony’s, and how crazy Andy was not just planning his escape from year one but how close he could have got caught many times throughout the movie and would have been stuck there for the rest of his life! Yet he still did things to try and uplift all the prisoners and especially RED

[@LaurelT1948]

Loved your reaction to this great film! Splendid acting all around. I’m going to suggest 3 more films- another one with Tim Robbins, ‘Jacob’s Ladder,’ and another prison film, ‘The Green Mike,’ with Tom Hanks. And then another Hanks film, ‘Cast Away.’ I think you’ll absolutely love these!

[@CaptainTinny]

Thank you ☺️ The Green Mile and Cast Away are both on the list! Forrest Gump next week and hopefully the other 2 after. It’s like a whole month of Tom Hanks films

[@danayneal4409]

Bless your sweet innocent heart. Believing the warden would do what's right... I loved it! 😅

The warden is a little snake In the grass 🐍

[@Bill_Jones.]

What a wonderful reaction !

[@nolongervailable9400]

An aside, and i.m surprised nobody mentioned it, but this is actually part of a book written by Stephen King. A book with four stories in it called Different Seasons. This story was called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. It also has a story called The Body, which turned out to be the movie Stand by Me. It's a good story tho and it gives a lot more details about what happened to Andy inside the prison. You should check it out!

[@thomascovenant665]

So glad you liked the movie! I got a kick out of you piecing the film together in real time... awesome job!

[@Salguine]

Escaping from the prison was great, but cleaning out all the warden's bank accounts while he was at it was really the cherry on top.

[@subitman]

I'm still watching your reaction and enjoying it. Two Morgan Freeman movies that come to mind is Glory and Driving Miss Daisy. Glory is about the US Civil war when African-Americans were recruited to fight for the North. It also starred Mathew Broderick who got his fame from the comedy film Risky Business. Driving Miss Daisy is about a driver hired by Dan Akroyd (Ghostbusters, SNL) to take care of his aging mother who's living alone and going through a tough time.

[@nolongervailable9400]

Yes! I just suggested Glory to him too. That movie is so moving

[@subitman]

@@nolongervailable9400 D'oh! I made a mistake. Broderick was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off not Risky Business. I will not mention the actor who was in Risky Business. He's an abomination.

[@Mutchy85]

I can't count how many times I've watched this movie, my favourite for sure. I've also watched a lot of reactions to it and the fact you gave it the score It deserves means I like your taste and you have a new subscriber. The green mile is from a Steven King book with the same director, great movie plus Heywood from this has a small part that not many people seem to notice.

Nice! The Green Mile is next weeks video!

[@stevenmonte7397]

Great watching that with you! Awesome reaction.... Badass movie! (need to check to see if you've done Snatch, Tropic Thunder or The Other Guys)

[@rebeccahanson6941]

Arguably one of the greatest movies ever. The only reason it didn’t win more academy awards is because it came out the same year as Forrest Gump. Probably the most satisfying movie ending.

[@claymccoy]

"You remember the name of the town, don't you?" C.T.: Tijuana? "Zihuatanjo." C.T: Close enough. Actually, the distance between Tijuana and Zihuatanjo is about a day and a half drive.

[@claymccoy]

When Red tells Andy going to Mexico was "shitty pipe dreams", it foreshadows Andy crawling through a pipe of shit to escape.

[@asdfasdf7199]

this is probably the best movie adaptation of a stephen king novel/short story.

[@johnnyxxxv]

If Brooks were released today, 50 years ago was the year 1973. Imagine getting imprisoned during the Vietnam war, and getting out today.

[@scottarooni]

In my opinion, this is a movie that gets better when you watch it a second or third (or even a dozen) times. You know exactly what's going to happen, but the emotions still get you every time.

[@stevenjump8234]

Another movie directed by the Frank Dourabont and also a prison set story by Stephen King is The Green Mile. It stars Tom Hanks and is every bit as good as Shawshank! Also the car Andy was driving was a 1968 Pontiac Lemans GTO.

[@Hubadub-cr1bc]

Fun Fact: The photo of younger Red used in the forms at the parole board meetings was a photo of Morgan Freeman's son.

[@jamescanole3940]

Great review of a great film. Thanks!

[@laurabuer4714]

The redemption was Red's. The second parole rejection was his pivot point. Andy is the definition of living by example. He may have been a poor romantic partner, but he was a mentor and a best friend. Andy makes me believe in hope.

[@StrongOaker]

a lot of nitpickers complain how clean the bible was having the rock hammer in it so long when dirty from dirt. Andy would have only kept it in that bible until it could just lay inside the hole. He also likely put that bible somewhere in the library and took another for his cell. When it came time to escape he planned it out and placed that bible back and wrote the line to the Warden (remember no writing utensils in cells, so likely the library he wrote it).

[@phillipoutzen3234]

Did you notice that the rock hammer was hidden in the book of Exodus, the story of a people's escape from slavery.

[@chucknorris2266]

[@Fred-vy1hm]

The Shawshank "redemption" was Reds not Andy's, Red was "The only guilty man in Shawshank" while Andy never did anything wrong to have to be redeemed for. I find it funny, although it's entirely coincidental, that the first three letters in redeem and redemption spell red. 😊

[@PorterJustPorter]

Why are you convinced "Red" in "Redemption" was coincidental?

[@Fred-vy1hm]

@@PorterJustPorter in the book he was a red headed Irishman, hence the nickname, but I've never read anything about a connection with his name and the title mentioned before although I wouldn't put it past Stephen King to leave that little Easter egg for the fans. 😊

[@PorterJustPorter]

@Fred-vy1hm I knew he had red hair in the book, and thusly, it follows that other inmates would give him the nickname "Red". I just assumed King was offering a dual meaning that the reader was only priv to. I remember coming to that conclusion when I first read the story years ago. I could be wrong though... it is a bit on the nose.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Collaboration Stephen King/Frank Darabont, for this one and "The green mile" - worked so fine! Two of the best movies ever. 😍😍

[@patm5594]

Many consider this the greatest movie ever made. And Morgan Freeman is a national treasure

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

Just as a minor point of trivia. When Andy asks Red why he's called "Red", Red jokes that maybe its because he's Irish. This is a reference to the steven king novel in which Red is, in fact, a red-headed Irishman. Bu the truth is, in addition to becing an African American, Morgan Freemen is *also* an Irish American, as are Clancy Brown (Captain Hadley), Tim Robbins (Andy Dufrense), Gil Bellows (Tommy), William Sadler (Heywood), and Bob Gunton (Warden Norton). More of the casrt were Irish Americans than weren't.

Andy's one mistake was going to the Warden with his new evidence. He should have contacted the District Attorney in the jurisdiction that convicted him. And you're the first person I've ever seen react to this or even watch it that didn't see Tommy's death coming. S.M.H. bro.

[@andreshernandez1180]

For another *AMAZING Tim Robbins* movie watch *Arlington Road* also starring *Jeff Bridges,* and for another great prison movie watch *The Last Castle* starring *Robert Redford, James Gandolfini* and *Mark Ruffalo*

[@51tetra69]

Hope and salvation are the underlying themes of the Shawshank Redemption, and, of course, the Bible is the ultimate source of hope and salvation for all men, which is why the Holy Bible is a another recurring theme throughout the movie. (It is no accident that Andy conceals the rock hammer, which is the instrument by which he achieves his escape and wins his freedom, within the pages of Exodus.) By the way, the redemption is Red’s, not Andy’s. It is Red - the only guilty man in Shawshank - who has lost his hope and faith in mankind during his long years of imprisonment, and in whom hope needs to be rekindled.

[@SmashAdams216]

Ahoy Cap'n! Back to the Future is my favorite film of ALL time but this one is definitely in the top 5! It's based off of a novella by Stephen King. Andy asks Red why they call him "Red" and Morgan Freeman responds "Maybe it's because I'm Irish" which is a fun joke because in the original story, Red actually is a red headed Irish guy. I love how satisfying the ending to this movie is. Thanks for the video, great way to spend my Saturday morning! Have you seen American History X? If not, I'd like to recommend it!

Regarding the world changing too much for Brooks. There is a theory that while nowdays the technology is advancing faster than ever, the change in our lives the advancements make are slowing down. What I mean is that the invention of a telephone changed the world more than the invention of the mobile phone. Same with cars, airplanes, TVs etc. Just think of the changes our grandparents lived through. Pretty much every new invention our generation has gotten already had something analogous previously so it was easier for us to adapt to get started.

Excellent reaction. First time I saw Brooks death; I was extremely sad. I've seen the movie well over 100 times. If you fill in the blanks, it changes dramatically. For instance, Brooks. It was never explained why he was in prison. Imagine for instance he beat a baby to death with a baseball bat or lynched a black man to be sent to prison. Think to yourself if that changes his death for you. Nobody cried when the warden died right? Our perspective changes based on the limitation of information we are given.
