To put it into perspective: 1905- Brooks is sent to Shawshank. 1912- Brooks becomes the prison librarian/ the RMS Titanic sinks. 1914- World War 1 begins. 1917- The United States enters WW1. 1918- World War 1 ends on Nov.11. 1920- Spanish flu epidemic 1929- The Great Depression begins with the crash of the NewYork Stockmarket. 1933- Adolf Hitler begins his political career. 1938- Hitler becomes the Chancellor of Nazi Germany. 1939- World War 2 begins with the invasion of Poland. 1941- The Imperial Navy/Airforce of Japan attacks Pearl Harbor forcing the United States to enter WW2. 1944- June 6th, D-Day. 1945- Adolf Hitler commits self- delete, the War in Europe ends. 2 Atomic bombs were dropped on Japan ending the war in the Pacific. 1947- Mikael Kalashnikov's AK-47 is the new service rifle for the Soviet Union./Andy is sent to Shawshank Prison. 1951- The Korean War begins between Communist North Korea and Democratic South Korea. 1953- The Korean War ends. 1955- Brooks gets Paroled out of Shawshank Prison. Those were just a few notable events off the top of my head between 1905-1955.

[@MilleniumLad21]

One of my favorite movies of all time! The Irish line was kind of an inside joke. In the book, Morgan Freeman's character was nicknamed "Red" because he was a red-haired man of Irish descent with the last name Redington. But, they really wanted Morgan Freeman to play the part in the movie. I'm so glad they cast him in this. Shawshank Redemption was the first instance of the infamous Morgan Freeman voice-over narration style that would later define his career.

[@gavinsheridan4680]

I think the movie is really about Red. It follows Andy’s story, but he is constant thru the film, trying to better the situation of those around him. Red goes through the metamorphosis from despair to hope.

[@almccue7176]

Yes. If you read the book, it was all about Red.

[@precious926]

Agreed, Red is the "Redemption" in this movie.

[@brianmatthews1736]

It is about BOTH Red and Andy, and Brooks...and to a smaller degree to the entire prison friend group of Red's, and Andy's. Without Andy there is NO redemption...he was the catalyst for the redemption. He taught Red, and others that HOPE is most likely (outside of love of course) the greatest of things. Andy redemeed himself by escaping, planning it all down to having a huge amount of money to restart his life in Mexico...but he redeemed Red as well...cause Red was on his way to giving up, and Andy made him make that promise as a way to pull Red along with him, and get him to understand that HOPE is a good thing, maybe the greatest of things. He helped redeem them both. Brooks unfortunately had already past the point of redemption in some ways, cause he chose to kill himself, rather than find a way to have HOPE.

"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying." Fun Fact: Raquel Welch, whose One Million Years B.C. (1966) poster plays a significant role in the film, is a big fan of this movie. Musical Enthusiast Fact: The opera song that Andy Dufresne plays over the loud speakers is "Canzonetta sull'aria" from "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart. It was Tim Robbins' idea for Andy to turn up the volume of the record player in the scene. Bird Timing Fact: When Andy goes to the library to begin work as Brooks' assistant and Brooks' crow, Jake, is squawking, Tim Robbins had to time his line so that the crow wouldn't squawk over him, since the bird could not be trained to squawk on cue. Robbins was able to time his line perfectly by learning the bird's squawking patterns, for which writer/director Frank Darabont praised him.

Yep. King quoting Bob Dylan: 🎵He not busy being born is busy dying🎵from _It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)._ Been very happy to see Stephen King getting taken more seriously by literary critics through the course of my life. Didn't always happen this way, in the past.

[@Purple_Buffalo]

I was 13 when my father grabbed me and my brother and took us to see the, Thursday - 10pm sneak-preview of this the day before it opened... and we had no idea what to expect. At the end of the film when the credits started to roll, I realized that my mouth was WIDE open... from amazement. I recalled how simliar the ending was to JAWS and I was in awe. I then turned to look at my brother and my father and saw both of them with their eyes glued to the screen and their mouths dropped in awe as well. WHAT. A. FILM.

[@lanzknecht8599]

Another example what a great writer Stephen King is, even without supernatural elements in his stories.

[@deeanna8448]

I would argue his best work is that without a supernatural element - this one, Misery, and Stand by Me are my favorites.

[@larrote6467]

[@sleeper-cassie]

Red’s speech at the end kept using the phrase “I hope…”, which of course is a huge turnaround from earlier when he told Andy that hope was dangerous. But also: while it’s been a few decades since I read the novella this was based on, I believe it ends with this speech because we, the reader, don’t actually find out if Red ever meets up with Andy. As an ex-con, Red is expected to get have some difficulty crossing the border into Mexico, so it’s left open-ended. (Andy was still using his assumed identity, so he was able to breeze through.) But for a movie, I think this was a valid change to make. That catharsis from seeing their reunion is so powerful. (Also, I love how concerned your dogs get for you. I’ve been watching for a few months, and they really worry about your well-being. It’s so heartwarming.)

[@joeblankenship377]

Yeah, I'm glad they put the happy resolution on there. They put the audience through a lot, we deserved a satisfying end.

[@blazinjedi2008]

From what I've learned the happy ending was done after filming wrapped because when they showed it for test audiences without that ending they didn't like it.

[@petresko1041]

If you go back to the scene where the Warden held Andy's bible during the cell search, remember that the rock hammer was inside it that whole time and the Warden nearly left Andy's cell with the hammer bible. That whole time Andy had to procure the strongest of poker faces and must have been sweating bullets.

[@user-tf2wd1eh3g]

The bible quote Andy gave, in that scene, was basically him telling the Warden that he is ready for him.

[@thebrhinocerous]

One of the greatest movies of all time. That portion when Brooks is paroled is heartbreaking...hits me every time. And the ending is probably one of the best-filmed endings of all time.

[@House0fHoot]

That’s probably one of the best comments of all time 😁

[@tonyolsson4376]

Greetings from Sweden sir. This is a cinematic masterpiece. One of the absolute best ones ever made. Fun fact: When the warden opens the book and finds the hidingspot for the rock hammer it says "EXODUS" on that page. It means "EXIT"

[@SuperFurry68A]

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this movie, Brooks’s death gets me every time. I don’t know what he did to get into Shawshank, but it always breaks my heart when he commits suicide. Stephen King is a master of creating loveable and flawed characters, and Frank Darabont is a master of bringing them to the big screen. What a perfect combination.

[@bigredtlc1828]

This is the guy's version of a Rom-Com, so to speak. Great movie about friendship and hope. Don't give the captain too much credit for helping Andy with the Sisters. The only reason he beat up their leader was because the warden was using Andy for his finances and needed Andy in one piece. Basically Andy bought protection by helping the Warden and the captain out with their finances. "Better get started living or get started dying." Powerful. I gotta take those to heart now before I leave this world.

[@ambergallen4144]

[@heathen3550]

Something you should know. The Shawshank Redemption is NOT about Andy. It was about Red, the whole time. If you remember in the beginning, Red starts to tell us a story about his friend, Andy Dufresne. When he had to sneak Rita Hayworth into Shawshank prison. Andy was always innocent so there was nothing to redeem. Red was the one whom needed to Redeem himself, who had to pay for his crimes & he did. Stephen King, the author of Rita Hayworth & the Shawshank Redemption confirmed all this too. I’m so glad you loved the movie.

[@coolexio]

I am not sure I agree with that perspective. Why does it have to be about one person? I thought it was more a movie about the overarching theme of hope.

[@mannys4036]

@@coolexio I don't agree with that assessment either. To redeem means to buy back. Andy was innocent and brought back his freedom and it included the money which was seen as his severence pay. Red was guilty of a crime but yet he found freedom because of Andy. To me it a story about Andy all the way.

The reason we didn't warn you that you'd hate the warden is because it's something you have to experience. Unlike Percy, you're not supposed to immediately hate him. You're supposed to slowly realize just how evil he is. This is so you can see it how andy does. At first, the scariest thing is the sisters. Then feel that he's safe after they're gone, only to realize it's a false safety and the guy at the top is the real problem. Brilliant movie

I worked at a prison from 2010 - 2018 and what you described during Brook's segment actually was something I saw firsthand. There was a woman that was about to get out that had been in for 14 years at that point, from 1996 - 2010 and they didn't really have much in the way of cell phones when she went in, so she asked me about them, I said I myself didn't know much about them cause even at that time I didn't have a smart phone.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I didn’t get a cell phone till around 2005. I originally got one in 2002, but was so unused to having one that I lost it within 2 or 3 days, lol, so I don’t count that. I didn’t get a smartphone till around 2016, I believe. I’ve thought about folks going into jail in 90 & getting out in like 2015 & what a strange feeling it must be.

[@rollomaughfling380]

@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Same as you, I didn't ever get (or want) a cellphone until 2005 (a matte black RAZR, thank you very much), when the TV show I was working on got a 2nd season, and the producers' only notes for me were to please get a cellphone. My next RAZR had maps and GPS, and within days of buying it (because I'd dropped my original one from my shirt pocket into my toilet) I was coming home to Echo Park, in LA on the 10, and the 110 was blocked off by construction, so I had to divert into the middle of downtown, which is just fraught. The problem with that is, taking downtown surface streets, you're likely to end up on Figueroa thinking you're ok, but next thing, you're barreling toward Pasadena. So I pulled over and let the GPS guide me home. Unfortunately, the next year, I drove myself and my dog up to Big Basin, in the Santa Cruz mountains for a fun camping trip. I just went all the way up the 5, blithely letting the GPS run the whole time, so I wouldn't miss the left turn at the 152. My next phone bill was like over $400. Thankfully, I convinced Verizon to reverse the charges.

Rewatching this amazing reaction & the Brooks scene hit hard today. I used to be an addict & I was never caught or arrested. Now I'm sober, good job, family. I've seen so many friends go to jail or pass. It completely upended their lives. One kid, he grew up 2 blocks away, super good dude. The only problem was his addiction. He never begged, borrowed, or stole a thing. He's probably about 45 now, spending his days on another stretch for poss. His 21 yo son passed last year from an od. It hit me really hard. My dad was an addict, I'm doing everything I can do my son doesn't become what I was, it's a cycle that is hard to break though. People don't understand what it's about. You're treated terrible, less than human by everyone. I still don't talk to any family except one aunt. I just wish people would try to understand & have a bit of empathy.

Raquel Welch :) That's the last woman that adorned Andy's wall. Mercy Great hanging with you and your pups, watching this masterpiece of a movie. One of the most fun reactions I've seen in a long time lol. Hope you have a great week.

[@davidbrannon2627]

Keep being you my man. I am 6'2" 390 lbs and I still tear up at a quality story line, especially ones involving animals or children. Emotion and heart doesn't depend on a person's size.

[@butkusfan23]

Seeing you come to the realization that Andy tunneled out was one of the best things I have seen in a while. It was so genuine. Good stuff!

[@jameskirschling7887]

I really enjoyed this reaction. Especially when Andy crawled through the river of shit. Your reaction did not disappoint. I have a Tim Robbins movie for you. Mystic River directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne. I am looking forward to JLoween much like a child looks forward to Christmas. October is going to be a great month for EOM.

Brilliant reaction - I love how your dog responds to your emotions - and how you have such empathy for your dog. It all works so well for this film x

[@kentkatchem]

Any time this movie comes on... I put the remote down immediately, and I saw this back in 1994... To this very day, still one of my favorites and always will be.. so many lessons in this movie... "Hope, is a good thing"...💯🙏

[@83gemm]

You went through all the octaves during the pipe scene! Really deep at first and then high pitched for, “Ew, that’s a lotta people’s!” Your reactions are always great and I love how invested you always get and I adore your relationship to your doggos, but when you grunted, “Oh, stop talking about it!” after the five football fields line, I was bent over laughing!

[@houdin654jeff]

A perfect movie, love it, even in its darkness. The message is one we all need now and then. “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” For some trivia, Andy kept his hammer in the Bible under the chapter Exodus, the story that tells of the Jews escaping their slavery in Egypt. The woman on the poster that the warden calls “Miss Fuzzy Britches” is Raquel Welch from the movie One Million Years B.C. She was a real sex symbol of the 60s and 70s and is still with us today at age 82. Clancy Brown, who plays the Captain Hadley, the head guard, also voices Mr. Crabs on SpongeBob SquarePants.

One of the all-time great "bro" movies. So enjoyed your reaction to it. Love your hounds, too.

[@danlincoln8987]

This is one of the great movies in history, and in my opinion one of the greatest endings, I have actually been to this prison before it is in Mansfield Ohio, they actually do a haunted prison tour around Halloween, I have talked to people who work there and they all have stories, They said you never wanted to be on the top tier of the prison and have enemies, I'm sure you can imagine you would get tossed off and it has happened...The prison opened in the late 1800s and closed in 1990, a piece of the tree lies by the prison because lightning hit it years ago, It made headlines over here

"I'm sure you can imagine you would get tossed off and it has happened . . ." Maybe not the best choice of words for an international audience . . . 😄

Hay man, you are cracking me up so much. I’m laughing so much. It amazes me how everyone think it the lady he gets Andy and have the ‘ oooh yes ok’ look on there face when they realised it was a poster. 😂oh and then the part where Andy crawled through shit. I burst out laughing. Great reaction man. ❤🎉

[@BunBun299]

Raquel Welsh, who was featured in Andy's final poster, is actually still alive, and looks pretty good for a woman in her 80s. She's known to be a fan of this movie.

[@mhmartini]

Puppers Emotional Support to the rescue! I love your reactions, but I love your interactions with the doggos more.

[@NoelMcGinnis]

I guess they could have called this movie “The Brown Mile” considering what Andy had to do to escape. 😂 It was gross, but it was a small price to pay for freedom! Go Andy!

[@cbailey6587]

My dogs do the same. Sit up with paws trying to get my attention because they know I’m upset with the movie. Love your videos & you precious dogs.

[@danjohnson2986]

He (the captain) didn’t “help Andy” when he made the lead sister a vegetable. He was keeping his personal accountant where he’d be able to keep cooking his books. Nothing else. If Andy hadn’t been the accountant that he was, the captain would have turned a blind eye to his suffering.

[@BintyMcFrazzles]

41:13 the noises you make when you're retching! I couldn't stop laughing. 🤣😂 "OH, GOD!" "BLURRGHH!" "Quit talking about it!!" **waves hands** 🤣😂 Seriously, this is a fantastic film. Definitely in my top 10 films of all time.

[@BinkyTheToaster]

The parole board finally approved Red because they could tell he'd had all the fight taken out of him. Also, it's not surprising Andy had the long game. He's a banker, which means he's conscientious and _smart._ He started working on the long game the second he stepped off the bus.

one of the best movies ever made. plenty of movies make you cry with sad things and this does as well with brooks death which got me and alot of people but i cant think of any movie that lifted my heart and made me cry with almost optimisim and happiness like the ending of this movie. "i hope" as the closing line is literal perfection.

[@House0fHoot]

Great film & a very moving reaction 👏 Romulus is so sweet & loving - his meerkat stance is adorable! 🐶

[@mikewarker4445]

Get your tissues ready Jay. Parts of it are heart wrenching. Great movie

[@3RayJ3]

I love how you react with your dogs because when I get upset or scared my dog is always by my side going what can I do to make you feel better and I always have to rub him and say everything's okay. He always has my back. Also this is the best reaction I have seen to this movie. I have like every reaction I've seen but now I've subscribed. Keep it up man you're gold.

[@teacherlion]

I read this book when I was a kid. When I first saw the trailer for it I was sooo excited. Love this story. Hope springs eternal.

[@susanhaney3437]

Your dogs are so sensitive and sweet!

[@ambergallen4144]

I love, love your sudden realization of what Andy did. What he was able to pull off. I have seen this movie many times. As mentioned its my late father and I’s fav. I know what happens but watching you see it the first time and the flash of “wtf” I am a huge Stephen King fan. His novels are my past time. Actual books not reading off a screen. I would have been thrilled in that shawshank library. I remember my Father being shocked after seeing this movie several times and finally noticing it was a stephen king story. I said there are a few king stories made into movies you may not realize. He just kept saying, “but its not scary” lol. The author himself had told a story of browsing some book racks whilst waiting for an appointment or in between travel destinations. There was a lady also checking out the books, she said she had no idea what book to get, he cheekily suggested shawshank(it was a short story rereleased with the movie to have the movie photo cover) she looked near interested till she saw my beloved authors name. She then gasps and says, oh i dont read his work, he can only write terrible scary stories. Or something along those lines were said….. to the actual man that wrote it. Had she picked it up his photo was on the back of the book. At the time it was an current photo. Needless to say, my guy had a good laugh. Glad you loved this movie. Never imagine a prison story being somewhat of a mood lifter after something like green mile. I admit not all king stories made into movies work. But some like this absolutely do. Tell the co pilots i luv them.

[@danjohnson2986]

The way you flinched at the pocket bird feeding would have made you think a pterodactyl was swooping from the rafters! 😂 then the quick side-eyed “shut up”. Gold. Your reacts are gold. Lol

[@_nauticaldisaster_]

The one thing that always bugged me about this movie is why Andy didn't just hide the rock hammer in the hole? I mean if the warden found the hole he'd be screwed anyway and they'd most likely tear his room apart and find the hammer. Seems an unnecessary risk to hide it in the bible when he has a perfectly good hole in the wall to stash things in.

[@pirateylass]

Aww! Your baby pupper is adorable! Was making me giggle how often he kept doing his trick to offer support. Driving Miss Daisy is so good!
