[@glawnow1959]

I tried so hard to get my dad to see this but the description of the film in the paper: "A man finds hope in prison with the help of a friend," while accurate, doesn't even begin to explain what one sees in "The Shawshank Redemption," and it made my dad say he wasn't interested in watching it. I would give anything to have seen this with my dad and I envy you that memory so much.

I've always been amazed that two of the best prison movies, "The Shawshank Redemption" & "The Green Mile" were both written by the master of horror, Stephen King.

[@danooc1]

"Stand By Me" was also in the same book as Shawshank. Another amazing story/movie.

Prison is a pretty horrible, I guess.

@O. B. I didn't mention prison. Read my post again. It was supplemental, not critical.

That's because almost everyone typepublishes King into horror. Although of course prison is just another kind of horror.

U followed the movie very well, please watch the green mile ,both movies are by Stephen king

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

The foreshadowing haha

[@Shax22132]

One of the most impressive parts of Andy's escape is that he came up with the idea very early on in his incarceration. He then spent almost 20 years working on it, carefully and slowly putting all the pieces in place. Then he executed it flawlessly, got revenge/justice on the ones that wronged him, escaped scot-free, and gave his best friend means and motivation to follow him. And he did it all without saying a single word about it to anyone, not even his best friend, over the many long years.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

That’s a genius

[@zackgallardo]

I've seen this movie when numerous times and hadn't thought about it like that yet!

[@markhamstra1083]

That all depends on who is doing the ranking. While it is true that _Shawshank_ has been highly ranked by general viewers for several years now, it has never received similar acclaim from film critics, film historians and the like. For example, _Shawshank_ doesn’t appear anywhere in the lists of the top 100 films of all time from either the American Film Institute or the British Film Institute. In essence, _Shawshank_ is very well crafted storytelling that easily satisfies the narrative expectations of many viewers, but it has never been considered an important piece of cinematic art by more serious film professionals - for whatever that is worth.

[@stevesheroan4131]

@@markhamstra1083 I mean this comment with lightest of hearts, so don’t feel I am being acerbic, but Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture at the Oscars, and Clyde McPhatter beat The Beatles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame…er….Fame. I don’t put much stock in those lists, lol, and I’d much rather watch Shawshank than any of the AFI’s top 10, much less 100, though I agree that some of those films are more “important” or “influential”. Ultimately, I prefer to be ENTERTAINED first when I watch a movie, but I also know that’s not everyone’s (particularly the AFI’s) priority. I totally understand what you’re saying, but “best movie ever” will always be subjective, so I’m just happy to see Dawn Marie so happy. Happy Holidays sir!

@@rickpalacio7 Yeah, that’s true. In the top 100 is certainly respectable and amongst a lot of good company. It’s still a considerable distance, though, from the film’s IMDb ranking or Netflix score, so I’ll continue to contend that it is much more beloved by general viewers than by film professionals.

[@axebeard6085]

Shawshank Redemption was released 2 years after I started struggling with severe depression. Seeing Andy trapped in prison for a crime he didn't commit really resonated with me, being trapped in a prison of my own mind. For decades I dreamed of escape. I dreamed of going to Zihuantanejo. When the VA doctors realized I'd been misdiagnosed and gave me the correct meds, I felt like Andy standing in the rain after crawling through 500 yards of shit. When the VA finally admitted that my illness was service-connected and paid me compensation, I felt like Andy driving through Fort Hancock in a convertible with the top down. And now I'm living in my own Zihuantanejo. And the ocean really is as blue as it was in my dreams.

[@xtldc]

One night about 15 years ago, I was staying at a hostel near the Cinque Terre in Italy and was hanging out with a bunch of the other guests when we decided to look through the DVD collection and I found a copy of this movie. Nobody else had seen it and many were skeptical about a long dramatic movie about a prison, but I said that if any of them didn’t absolutely love the movie, I would buy them as many drinks as they wanted the next night. Of course, I didn’t end up buying drinks for anyone.

[@eddawg79]

The court scenes and workshop scenes from Shawshank were filmed in Upper Sandusky Ohio, the county seat of Wyandot county where I'm from. The actual prison scenes were filmed in the Ohio reformatory in Mansfield Ohio. It was an actual prison that was shut down a couple years before the movie was filmed.

Shawshank is one of the top 5 films of all time. I could talk about Stephen King's successes and his blind spots as a writer, but it's enough to say that this film based on his story will be remembered as long as the history of western civilization is studied.

[@ernestortiz4555]

Enjoyed your reaction. I can tell you from my own experience, in lockup you don't speak unless they address you directly. One guy had the bright idea to ask a deputy what size shoes he wore. The deputy told him to turn around and kicked him so hard in the ass he hit the wall and bounced back. The deputy asked 'what size does it feel like'.

[@raybobbitt4767]

The main prison building is "The OHIO State Reformatory" in Mansfield OHIO that is a old closed down prison, but you can visit it and take tours of it. You can look it up online to see what is still there.

[@TheNightBadger]

Walking home from work way back when, a car beeped it's horn at me, and I saw it was my friends girlfriend and her friend. They said they were going to the cinema and invited me along. When we got there the only film that hadn't started was something none of us had heard of called 'The Shawshank Redemption'. I thought since it was based on a Stephen King story it would be worth a watch. The cinema was almost empty. The film tanked back in the day and almost nobody had heard of it, but I'm glad I got to see it when it came out... if only by accident. I loved it (we all did). Incidentally, men do get emotional at films, and films like this are probably the right kind to get the feels going. If you don't feel something when the harmless old guy who takes care of birds tops himself you'd have to be a pretty cold fish.

[@davidcarter5038]

[@peterramsay4674]

I particularly like that all throughout his prison years he was constantly looking for little ways he could enhance the lives of his prison inmates. The Library, the Opera singer, the roofing was particularly clever. In a gutsy move he simultaneously got his buddies a few bottles of suds while setting himself up for the beginning of a long term escape plan by gaining the trust of the Warden and keep him reliant on Andy. The harmonica was also a brilliant move for Redd. Andy was planting the seeds of hope and dreams for a man who gave up on having any hope for his future. One last thing. The Warden doing himself in because he underestimated Andy. His greed had consumed him. Seeing him do that at the end was satisfying to me.

[@Pokyhawk]

This is in the top 5 of my favorite movies and I have no idea how many times I've watched it. When I saw that you were watching this for the first time I worried how well you would handle the emotional roller-coaster. When I saw how sad you were becoming over Andy's impending suicide I couldn't wait for the reveals. I wasn't having a very good day today so I really needed this. When that poster came off the wall your reaction was just what I needed. As this is one of my very favorite movies I knew what was coming and I relished every moment of you seeing just how cleverly Andy set up the demonic warden. His plan was so brilliantly conceived even including telling Red the story of the stone wall in the field so he could leave him a note as to where to find him. Absolutely incredible. Watching your reactions and reliving seeing some of my favorite movies for the first time through you always makes me smile. Today it really lifted my spirits seeing you brighten up after you found out Andy didn't die. It really made a difference. Thank you for making my day . (***If you made it this far, here's a little reward bit of information. To answer your question, this movie was filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. The production crew spent five months scouting prisons across the United States and Canada before finding just what they were looking for. This movie is based on a 1982 novella by Richard Bachman (a.k.a. Stephan King) titled "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption". It's one of several books and stories written by King under his pen-name and is a very good read. I think you would enjoy it and, if I remember correctly, it isn't too much longer than this post 🤭.***) Here's wishing you a great and blessed day from America 🤗.

One is the best prison film that I've seen. Escape From Alcatraz-1979. A terrific film based on a true story. Another film that features prison life. White Heat-1949(Hey Ma Top of the World) An all-time classic drama.

He really earned my respect, however, when he played "Crazy" Joe Clark in the movie "Lean on Me". yes, Crazy Joe Clark was a real person.

I found out through some KZbin videos that the iconic oak tree is no longer there. It had been struck by lightning, splitting part of the trunk. Years later, what was left of it was removed. I'm uncertain where any parts of the tree are now.

The writers and director of this movie took a Stephen King story and made it darker somehow! Such a great movie. Loved watching this! :)

When Andy got out of prison and the collected the 370,000 dollars, in 1975 it had the value of over 3 million dollars, he did pretty good, he gave Red a thousand.
