"I guess I just miss my friend" - The Shawshank Redemption (HD)

The "I guess I just miss my friend" scene.

[@maumendoza]

I love how Red is trying to be poetic and wordy about how much Andy means to him and by the end he just simply admits in the most sincere and honest way "I guess I just miss my friend"

The writers didn't want to get too carried away by make him sound like a poet or too smart. So they simplicity was the key. It's a theme throughout most of his monologues. They were simple yet compelling. I guess it made it easier for viewers of most intellects to connect with this brilliant story.

It just doesn't seem like that because you're actually living right now, and not just looking back a few decades later.

He tried to play his cards and bargain his escape through different actions hence the services he does in prison but it all backfired even after he had witness that he wasn't guilty.

The guys who mistook his aloofness and cautionness for arrogance, the judge who mistook his stotic and shock after being convicted for being icy and remorseless. The warden and Hadley thought they had Andy beat after Tommy's death and would never dare to try and escape. Even Red thought that Andy was guilty and didn't believe otherwise (despite Andy's protesting his innocence all along) until Tommy told them about Elmo Blatch. However, Red and the rest of they guys were most definitely better for having met Andy and gotten to know him under very bad circumstances. Particularly Red who learned through Andy that hope wasn't such a bad thing to have after all.

I did only 13 months in prison while awaiting trial for a misdemeanor I refused to plead guilty for, but it's a sad feeling when you're friends you make in there end up leaving before you do. I cannot imagine how sad Red felt because he truly loved Andy like a brother and was no doubt very happy for him but he would miss him very much. I imagine at least a few years passed from the time Andy escaped and the time Red got out on parole.

[@BethHarmon-yh8ms]

I think it was no more than a year passed by before Red and Andy met up again. It was 1947 when Andy arrived at Shawshank, and when Red had his first parole hearing in the film. 10 years later in 1957, Red has another parole hearing and is rejected again. Andy escapes in 1966. So since Red usually has a parole hearing every decade, I think we can assume he has his last parole hearing in 1967, when he's finally released. I would say it was another month or two after leaving Shawshank that Red decides to take a chance and look up Andy in Mexico. Now depending on exactly when in 1966 Andy made his break from prison, I would say at the most, maybe a year and a half, again it would depend exactly how early or how late in 1966 he escaped. I'm still saying it was most likely a year when the two men were reunited.

A movie that holds the virtues and vice of man. We have friendship, love, integrity, compassion, fearlessness, hopefulness VS cruelty, greed, fear, oppression, untruthfulness, weakness. Life is about the passionate virtues and vices of man, its all about our emotions. This movie laid them out as truth clearly and entertainingly. The movie got to my heart and refused to leave.

And yet, minutes later, tears of joy begin to shed. "I hope I can make it across the border.... I hope I can see my friend Andy, and shake his hand.... I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.... .... I hope!"

My work colleague just finished University and he's staying in Japan for a year. We were in the same job interview together, man. We always went to lunch together and just bantered around untill one of the managers noticed and told us to go back to work. I'm going to miss you, Sam. My big, tall, sort of socially awkward friend. I hope you have a nice life and a great career. Mean while I will still be working at Asda full time hoping I will be able to move on with my life.

Best Bromance movie of all time. Still brings tears to my eyes when they're reunited at the end. Can't believe originally they were going to go with an ambiguous ending which sees Redd on a bus going to find his friend.

[@JBrander]

I love how Andy became a living legend in Shawshank prison. After all the things that Andy did for them, the prisoners idolized him after he broke out.

My boss of three and a half years was unceremoniously let go recently, and all I can think of is this scene. He was my friend, and actually got me the job. I see him as being free, but I'm sure he's dealing with some uncertainty. I guess I just miss my friend.

Years from now people will still be watching the Shawshank Redemption, but probably not so much for Forrest Gump.

[@mikespearwood3914]

True. SR is timeless, but FG had more impact at the time because of it referencing historical/cultural moments of the 60's and 70's that a lot of people watching in the cinemas were alive at the time to experience.

[@milcycat7285]

I agree. Up to now I haven’t watched Forrest Gump yet and have no idea what that movie is all about. Whereas for Shawshank Redemption, ever since I started watching it, I already saw it multiple times and still enjoyed watching every scene of it.

[@CallOfPoop1]

That's false. Completely false. Shawshank Redemption is the greatest film ever made but people still talk about Forrest gump, even kids quote his famous 'life is like a box of chocolates' line.

[@andrealove2689]

alooga555 this is a great movie. But actually, it’s obscure compared to Forrest Gump. I love them both and see no need to compare them. They’re both great for different reasons.

[@dryb3301]

Don't compare them. They both are masters pieces.

[@clc-gl4jn]

I think everyone can relate to this scene especially. You either lose a friend because they were great until they left your life or some friends turn out to be not good and leave giving you a sense of betrayal... Either one, when you realize the love and closeness is gone, nothing hits harder... Nothing. You just want that closeness back with that friend who you entrust in or even that companion and ex-lover... You just want that loving connection you had for that person you genuinely cared about back... You wish it was that way forever but as Red said that some birds can't be caged... People can leave for good or bad reasons that hurt but it's always better to remember the good connection you had rather than the fact they're gone or even lost... Just remember that there was good in that relationship...

My Fathers favourite movie. He passed recently we watched this all the time together. Only 21, parentless. He was my everything. Rest easy, coloured bird, Ted Edward Taylor.

[@madmatzac]

My youngest brother thinks of our mom when he sees this scene. She died of cancer when he was 11. He kinda retreated into movies for his "therapy". I always tear up at this scene (as with many others). I can't help but think of the pain as he was going through as he watched her dying. He actually related this scene to his pain about mom. Oh and MickeyD1...if Titanic wasn't released the same year as Shawshank, it would have won a shitload of Oscars. J.Cameron can thank his lobbyist for that

Only Morgan Freeman could do this role. His lilting, evocative narration backed up by some of the most moving music are like fine a Bordeaux; silky and rich. A star performance that sets him with all the acting greats.
