I didn't recognize the movie's name but figured to give it a chance. The best movie I've ever seen. YOU WERE RIGHT. WARDEN, SALVATION DID LAY WITHIN! And the carved out spot where he hid the hammer was the first page of EXODUS! F'NG BRILLIANT!

This film was always so special to me. I had a brain aneurism some 30 years ago and was not expected to live. After a very new and at the time very experimental surgery my family was not sure how much of me was still there mentally. My brother was my bedside when I woke. He asked me if there was anything he could get me, he looked so concerned and I wanted to make him relax, but I could feel myself falling back asleep so I said "A poster of Rita Hayworth and a rock hammer", and I fell back asleep under all the drugs. He went dejected back to the quiet room and told the family what I had said and he was sure I was not there mentally. My wife burst out laughing and said "Oh no, that's him, its his favorite movie, he is saying he wants to escape". She was exactly right. a couple of decades later after my wife was diagnosed with cancer and got through chemo, I took her to Zihuatanejo

It was nominated for seven Academy awards including Best Picture and Best Actor(Morgan Freeman) but didn't win any of them. After being released on home video and shown on cable TV it soon became one of the most popular films of all time and is regarded as a classic.

My great-grandfather was incarcerated in the actual prison used in the filming of 'Shawshank Redemption' (The Ohio State Reformatory). He was there in 1913 after he and some friends robbed a saloon in Cleveland, Ohio (he got shot 5 times by the saloon owners bad-ass wife! and somehow, he lived.) He was there in 1921 for another crime (some kind of robbery) I found a prison record for him and it said he was thrown in "the hole" a few times for making skeleton keys (he was a tool maker). And P.S. the apple fell VERY FAR from the tree! lol

I don't really know, Redd said the same thing each time he was up for parol, it was rehearsed, insincere, and was what he thought they wanted to hear. I think him getting out was more to do with his sincerity and feeling genuine remorse and not just doing what he thought would get him released. The warden had no reason to keep Redd.

Many of the scenes were filmed at the former Ohio State Reformatory, which was in operation from 1896-1990. It actually offers regular tours--which is something you might consider if you're planning a Rock and Roll HOF/Pro Football HOF trip. That's because it's located in Mansfield, Ohio--about an hour away from both Cleveland and Canton.

A very interesting historically accurate detail that this movie includes that most people don't get without being told (I didn't) is, during the part where the police come to the prison and are arresting the big guard, the detective pulls a card out of his pocket and reads him his Miranda rights from the card. I never thought to ask why the cop wouldn't have the memorized. The reason is because, the year that scene was supposed to have happened is 1966 and that was the year that Miranda rights were introduced, so reading those rights to a suspect was a brand new procedure.

If you watch a lot of police interrogations (like I do) you’ll see that they still read them their Miranda rights from a card. I would think that it’s to assure that they’re covered legally and can’t be accused of leaving something out and invalidating the interrogation.

Cops are taught to always read the rights from the card. The reason behind that is because if they don't say it correctly, the defense can use that as proof that the rights weren't properly given. My teacher told us that the lawyer will ask if it was read from the card and if the cop says "no" they'll ask the cop to say it from memory for the court to try and prove they don't have as great a memory they claim. (Not a cop, considered the profession and my degree is in criminal justice. Ferguson happened and I dropped that career path)

He is one of the sweetest men I've ever met. He, his parents, and his brother, Roy, we're the sweetest family ever. If it helps you with his character, he is the voice of Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob SquarePants. Clancy Brown is an absolute sweetheart. We always sat next to each other and had so much fun together (even when they were losing!). I miss our time together (over 30 years ago) every Saturday. He's an amazing and talented man.

38:34 is one of my all time favorite compositions in cinema history. You have Andy who is hours away from breaking out of the prison walk into the light, while Red who still thinks hope is a bad thing in there remains in the shadow of the prison. Except for his head. Red's head pokes just past the shadow in the backwall as Andy tells him about what he plans to hide under the rock - giving Red something to hope for when he gets out. Its such a simple shot, but the composition and lighting thoroughly match what's going on in each characters psyche at the time. Andy is already out of the prison walls in his mind and Red, while still institutionalized sticks his head out from the shadows as Andy gives him a small reason to hope. Beautifully simple but entirely complete shot right there.

I'm glad y'all got through this movie too because it really is such a great story, full of great actors, done by great filmmakers. It's well worth the rollercoaster of emotions on the way, imo. I love that you both are so compassionate and empathic that the moments of human misery hit you so hard though, as a compassionate, empathic person myself, it's hard to watch how much it hurts you. That being said, in a movie like this, it helps to understand that the darkest parts of it are there so that you feel the brighter parts even more deeply. If prison wasn't so horrible and tragic and the warden and guards weren't such monsters, Andy's triumph wouldn't feel as euphoric and hard-earned as it does. The bad parts aren't there for us to enjoy in some gross, uncaring way; they're placed there to hurt our hearts so the end of the story can not only refill but overflow them. A great example of top-tier storytelling and filmmaking comes with one of the saddest moments. After setting up Brooks' inability to make it on the outside, we see him give up and hang himself and it's, obviously, a horrible, tragic end for a lovely character. But, in addition to giving you a scene to feel for this nice, old man and providing a dip on the emotional rollercoaster, it does two things for the story: (1) It sets up a contrast between what happens to Brooks and what Andy does for Red to save him from the same fate; and (2) because we see Brooks hang himself, when we later see Andy sitting in his cell with a rope, looking intense and in what we think is his lowest moment, the obvious expectation is that he too is going to hang himself. Because of that expectation based on having just seen someone use a rope that way not long before, it sets up that mind-blowing moment when you suddenly realize that Andy didn't kill himself, he didn't give up, he's made his escape. Basically, the script sets up an expectation in your mind and then subverts it to HUGE effect, thereby increasing the joy you feel in Andy's escape even more. It's just really, really well done. Great reaction, y'all! You're really finding the right balance for this movie channel already and I'm loving it. But, for real, give yourself a break and go for a lighter movie on the next one! Maybe "Back To The Future" or "The Princess Bride." You will love both of them, guaranteed, and they'll be a nice, fun ride for you both without any heart-hurting. There'll be more opportunities for darker movies that are still worth the ride but I feel like you two could use some comedy and adventure next to catch your breath.

It's from a Stephen King story , same director as Shawshank, and some of the same actors. It's also set in a prison. Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan are the two lead actors. It's amazing, and I sincerely hope you react to it some time. OH! I almost forgot, Saturday Night Live does a great skit based off of Red's parole board scene.

This movie is amongst my favorites, for sure… it’s just a brilliantly written story, the character development, the way you see that when Red says he doesn’t care if he gets out of Shawshank or not at the end, it’s exactly what they wanted to hear because it shows that the time he spent on prison made him realize that being “rehabilitated” means he knows there’s no way of going back in time, and that the person he became is all that’s left, period; he says “I’m the only guilty man in Shawshank”, which means he knows the “truth” so to speak. And the twist on the end, in Dufresne’s cell, is just spine chilling goosebump inducing… it’s just a masterpiece movie

The letter scene towards the end, especially when he says chessboard ready and hope is a good thing and good things never die, gets me every time. I have seen this film over 100 times and still cry buckets, a true masterpiece.

You two are just the bomb, I love how genuine you both are and honest emotionally. As an Aussie we can be really funny and enjoy a bit of fun by taking a jibe a each other or ourselves ie; as we say taking the piss. But we are not much for the show off or fake people. So its great reacting to someone so relatable. Thank you both and I wish you continued success

This is one of the heaviest movies I've ever seen. And my favorite film of all time. Very glad y'all powered through. It was worth it, in the end.

This is probably my favorite movie of all time. I have seen this movie hundreds of times and will always watch it when I'm flipping through the channels and run across it playing...an absolute masterpiece. Next up has gotta be "The Green Mile"

I saw this on a whim in the movie theater when it came out. I had no idea what I was walking into. I didn't even know it existed...I walked out of there a different person. This movie is cathartic on first watch. So happy you stuck it out!!

"In 1966, Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank Prison. All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Ol' Andy did it in less than twenty."

Such a brilliant movie. The story is so captivating. Waiting forever to see if Tim Robbins will be vindicated in the murders. Sad to think how many people may be in this situation right now. 😥 And who doesn't love Mirgan Freeman!!! Great movie, Great reaction. 🎥 🎞 🎥 🎞 Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦 🇨🇦
