"Oh he had a long game... This muthrfkr had a plan plan." | Escape | The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Great scene.
One of the best movies of all time, one of the best reveals of all time. Hope is a good thing.
Don't forget your local reactors, support them all you can. I know they appreciate it because they tell me so ever time I watch their videos. 🙂

[@happyninja42]

What I love about Andy's plan is how it hinges on banal mundanity to pull it off. Everyone there is so set in routine, he knew he could just walk past the guards, and they'd only give him the most cursory of glances before going back to their own mundane activity on the night shift (namely trying to stay awake). Count on the book and folders looking similar enough to pass a casual glance from the warden, coupled with redirecting his focus onto the deposits so he doesn't even watch him put it in. Just like they did hundreds if not thousands of times. But just change a few tiny details, and boom, he gets away with it.

4:25--In the book, every so often, Andy Dufresne would get a cell mate who would eventually request to be moved to another cell; one guy, an indian used to say how cold it always was in Andy's cell, like there was a breeze that came from no where.

That happens so rarely, this, Forrest Gump, Shrek and probably Jurassic Park (though I haven't read that, only heard it's better) are the only ones I can think of. Lord of the Rings is probably on par with the book.

[@logandarklighter]

​@@coolperson962 Jurassic Park the book is quite different from the movie. Especially in the choices of who lives and who dies. You'd be VERY surprised reading the book if you saw the movie first. I would say - the movie is a roller coaster ride with a lot of jump scares tossed in. The book is instead - like many of Michael Crichton's works, a much more cautionary tale. SOME of that gets into the movie - especially in moments with Ian Malcolm - but the book is more of an "oh shit... if these things get off this island... and there's almost no way they WON'T... we are so SCREWED." It's horror on an existential scale. The entire eco-system of the planet could go to hell. There's much more a sense that the financier who commissioned the park cut corners WAY too much in desperation to get a PARK open. When what he REALLY had was a pent-up ecological DISASTER in a bottle, and the cork was already OFF before the main characters even GOT to the island. The book is almost more of a scathing indictment of MONEY and CORPORATIONS getting involved with and corrupting actual science. Gee... Where have we seen THAT in recent times, eh? Maybe we should've listened to Crichton before we let a sad little greedy dwarf with delusions of adequacy set off a viral time bomb in a Chinese lab a handful of years ago and let a handful of PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATIONS worm their tentacles into every government on the planet and start taking all our freedoms away. But oh... it's all about the SCIENCE. Listen to the SCIENCE. Seriously - read Michael Crichton's works. The man was eerily prescient 50, 40 and 30 years ago. And FAR too much of his fiction... isn't really fiction anymore.

[@rizkhan3368]

I was 19 when I read this Novel, and 23 when I watched this movie, I am as close to redemption as Andy, and I am 51 years old.

[@timothyrenar5498]

Back in those days if a prison was about a 100 years old or older then it would be possible to dig a hole even with something simple as a rock hammer and get into the wet walls. Yes it takes a long time to do it but if you are dead set in escaping you would do anything even if it meant taking years of your life to do it. Also crawling through miles of s--t infested sewers to get to the other side far enough where the prison guards would not see you. A very good movie and I also highly recommend watching Escape From Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood.

[@watsonanaim7272]

What KILLS me about this movie is, NO convict would stay 20 years in the same cell. And a sewer system would NOT be on the outer perimeter of ANY facility. Last but not least. The poster affixed to the wall, would be "sucked in" once he breached the interior wall. Nature abhors a vaccuum. The tunnel would be filled with air from his cell and air in the sewer. Andy's a smart guy, he'd have know this. HE, would have made a frame for his poster to prevent it from happening. Other than that, it was a decent movie.

[@2tone753]

For Andy, the only way to survive. Who would believe that the director would let the only witness and accomplice to his crimes get away with his life, given the amount of money he had set aside? He had Tommy killed by his uniformed killer even though it wasn't yet clear that his statement will have real consequences. Perhaps the real perpetrator would have been dead long ago or any traces found had been destroyed (the alleged perpetrator was convicted). Andy would definitely have been executed. It was so easy with Tommy. And the community of criminals Hadley and Norton still exists. Norton would give up millions?? Hardly likely.
