[@greenacres1909]

Those final lines spoken by Red get me every time, "I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope." The book ends with this and we as the reader have to HOPE that Red does find Andy. This film is a masterpiece.

[@Theomite]

I have a copy of the script where Darabont put notes in the back. He said audience reaction to the original ending was nice but not great. The producer said they could get some money to shoot the beach scene just in case it made a difference. They screened it to test audiences with the new ending and the audience reaction was through the roof. So they kept it.

[@greenacres1909]

@@Theomite Yeah, the open ending is best for the book and reader and it’s very artistic but the film is SO moving that the audience needs that confirmation they were reunited. Just incredible.

[@Pixelologist]

@@greenacres1909 At least they kept it sans dialogue.....or even so much as a close-up of their embrace. Silent but for the sound of the surf and then that camera pull-back. Cinematically, near perfect.

[@greenacres1909]

@@Pixelologist Agreed!

[@Theomite]

@@greenacres1909 The book is also a little darker. There's enough hints that Andy MAY have killed his wife, and Tommy takes a deal to keep his mouth shut. So the book's ending might work well for that tone of story...but not for this film.

[@karlmoles6530]

I absolutely love your reactions. You're my favorite newer reactors. I knew you'd cry over Brooks, just about everyone does. I'll never forget seeing this movie for the first time. Andy's escape blew my mind.

[@lisaray9944]

I totally agree

[@mervinmerencio6861]

I agree. U guys are great

[@Will-fk2dk]

Truly! Love this... real, genuine reactions without any extra, unnecessary background nonsense.

[@TheMightyOdin]

Red said: “This is a shitty pipe dream….” And then Andy escaped through a shitty pipe.

[@johnnygonzalez1344]

Notice that when the Warden opens Andy's bible and realizes that is where he hid his hammer, that he opened to book of "Exodus", which is appropriate in this matter.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

18:16 In _so_ many ways, they did Brooks wrong. I mean, he was locked up in 1905. He was _23._ He was _young,_ _strong,_ _healthy_ and _educated._ Before being locked up, he saw _one single_ car that must've seemed like the most _novel_ thing in the world. While he was locked up, the first _radio_ transmission, _TV_ transmission, both world wars and the Great _Depression_ took place. Before he was locked up, only the wealthiest, most _well-connected_ people in _big cities_ had telephones. After he was released, _everyone_ had radios, TVs, cars and phones, and he was in his 70s, which meant that it was _way_ too late to have _any_ expectation that he adapt to this world. The world he was released back into was _completely different_ from the one he was taken from, but they expected him to reintegrate through _bagging groceries._ You know who spends their days bagging groceries? People in their _teens,_ _twenties,_ maybe, once in a while, people in their early _thirties._ Not people in their _seventies._ That's why, nowadays, social security benefits become available in your _mid-sixties._ That's _retirement_ age.

[@isabelsilva62023]

Raquel Welch the actress on the final poster was a big fan of this movie, also James Whitmore came out of retirement to play Brooks. Allen Greene was a literary agent who worked as the director's representative to secure the rights for the movie, he died from complications of AIDS before filming started so F. Darabont dedicated the movie to him. Loved your reaction!

[@Theomite]

I don't think Whitmore retired fully. He was a Miracle-Gro spokesman at the time, and he did THE RELIC in 1996. I think his last role was in THE MAJESTIC.

[@isabelsilva62023]

@@TheomiteTrue, maybe he was not invested in the scripts he was given until Shawshank.

[@Theomite]

@@isabelsilva62023 I was a huge fan of THEM! so I was always eager to see people like him show up in then-modern movies. I recognized him in THE RELIC because I didn't see SHAWSHANK until about 1997.

[@dunbardunelm3924]

@Theomite OMGoodness, I haven't thought about The Relic for ages 😩😩😩

[@Theomite]

@@dunbardunelm3924 Pretty damned decent monster movie.

[@lynnecurrie7561]

Perfect screenplay, perfect actors, perfect director =Perfect Film. My all-time favorite!!

[@hamzah5643]

its my dream to be in a movie with morgan freeman as my mentor lol

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

same, this and Green Mile are the best movies

[@darthtrip7188]

Stephen King is the G.O.A.T...he has amazing stories like Shawshank and The Green Mile and The Body (Stand By Me is the film's title)...and then he has amazing horror stories like IT, Misery, Pet Sematary, The Shining, The Dead Zone, Cujo, Salem's Lot, Carrie, Christine, and on and on..and then of course his insanely awesome series of The Dark Tower..like 8 novels. Then the characters he has created. A whole giant list of great characters..both villains and protagonists. Stephen King is so cool he made a car the main villain..Christine. He also made me scared to death of clowns (IT). You two should react to "Stand By Me" next..and then "Misery" sometime. They are classics. I think y'all would love both films.

[@lanolinlight]

More than any other channel, I wish for you two to watch all the great films from across the past 100 years. Popular new ephemera can wait. You ladies have the heart and intelligence to give the timeless classics their due.

[@jenniferri7735]

this has been my favorite movie for almost 20 years. i see tons of first time reactions come across my recommendations and i watch every single one because i LOVE seeing other people expierence its brilliance and beauty.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

this and Green Mile are the best movies of all time

[@ayessarodado3955]

Same.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

I love how they followed one of the saddest scenes (Brooks death) with one of the most beautiful scenes (The opera over the speaker scene). The ultimate friendship ends with the best ending of all-time.

[@in8hope617]

You both do such a good job watching and listening to these movies. I wish you all the best, today and each day in the future:)

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

Alriiiiight, congratulations! There are 3 milestones for a reaction channel -- Forrest Gump, Green Mile, and Shawshank. (Two are prison movies written by Stephen King, two feature Tom Hanks as the star)

[@sheldonlamey7010]

I recently heard that Tom Hanks regrets refusing to play Andy's roll in this movie.

[@Maurice1191]

Next you guys are gonna start recommending Tom McDonald, then Ben Shapiro then Tomas Newell then rewrites of history then all rest of the right winged videos explaining how white America is the actual victim of Dems and people of color.

[@faust3904]

​@@Maurice1191you got all that from him recommending great movies to react to?!! If you actually checked his channel then you could see his playlists. All music, and no Tom MacDonald anywhere 😂

[@montanasam63]

And two were nominated for best picture oscar in the same year

[@dunbardunelm3924]

Milestones?? 🙄😒😏Authenticity is such a dying art.

[@Vektorix28205]

The "In Memory of Allen Greene" dedication at the end is for the longtime agent of director/screenwriter Frank Darabont. Greene died during the film's production of AIDS.

[@dunringill1747]

Great to see you both react to this so soon after "The Green Mile". The redemption in this story is for Red. If not for Andy, Red would have gone the way of Brooks. Andy was the "Angel of Hope" that gave Red enough hope to live again.

[@AlexandruCarjan]

34:25 Andy didn't want to escape initially when requesting the rock hammer, he accidentally found out that the walls were made with soft material when he was writing his name on it

[@johnishikawa2200]

When this movie was released , I went to see it in a theater with my mom and my brother . And they had to drag me to it , because films about prison life have never really been my thing . But only about a third of the way into this film I realized that this is a great movie , and I was so glad that I went to see it . This picture ranks as one of my favorite films of all time .

[@SlodWick]

I am always so happy to see people who recognize the beauty of Red's last lines.

[@barryhickman6911]

A GREAT movie! My favorite line was when the warden told Andy after they tossed his cell and handed Andy's Bible back to him and he said, "Salvation lies within"! ! He was right, he was holding the bible when Andy had hidden his small pickax! Yet another great reaction by you two ladies! So glad I found you two!

[@YoureMrLebowski]

3:34 "another rule is don't ask any question." 😆

[@Christobanistan]

That final embrace on the beach is the most wholesome thing everrr.

[@neilshackleton89]

I love watching people see this movie for the first time, and have found many fun reactors because of it. I'm glad you enjoyed and felt it so much.

[@charlescallen460]

You two young ladies are in my top 5 reaction channels now and I watch a LOT of reaction channels! Keep doing what you’re doing and great things will happen IMO 🙂😎

[@denisemay6807]

You girls are so sweet and so genuine-it’s refreshing, and I find I’m very much enjoying your reactions.❤

[@curtisw502]

The quote that Andy tells the warden... Watch therefore: for you know not when the master of the house cometh You assume that Andy is talking about the warden but he's actually talking about himself...warning the warden that one day he will have his revenge.

[@MLawrence2008]

Great reaction ladies, I have subscribed. You have opened my eyes, as like many of us, I had preconceptions of you both and was prepared to judge you accordingly. You are both beautiful, intelligent and compassionate people, I am so glad to have found your channel and I look forward to your further adventures. Love from England.

Top 5 movies ever made ,i watched over 2000 movies in my life ,this one is top 5 without a doubt! Love ur reactions girls❤❤❤

You ladies are so honest in your reactions. It's like watching the movie (which I've seen a gazillion times) with friends. Keep up the good work!

[@jimmystewart1974]

this movie has been on No.1 spot for the last 20 so year on imdb, after i watched it for the 1st time i realized why this is No 1 and no matter what movie i watched after that never got closer to this ever. such a masterpiece. and i love yours reactions to this beautiful art.

[@dklabratful]

I love Norton being cagey with the combination for the safe, making sure Andy can’t see it. And Andy didn’t need it to get the books and screw him over. 😂😂😂

[@-C.S.R]

Hands-down one of the greatest movies of all time! P.S You're right warden, Salvation lies within. 📖⛏️

[@spencershaw4419]

One of the most powerful soundtracks as well. I listen to it while I walk the dog. Thomas Newman is so so good

[@lazyperfectionist1]

28:26 "He _passed_ the exams. Why would he try to escape?" That's exactly what _Andy's_ thinking. That's how Andy knows Warden Norton's _lying,_ right now.

[@MarkyMark8484]

Just saw this in my feed right after work. This movie is one of the best of all time. Top tier acting and the storyline is so captivating. Great reaction you two!!!

[@Rhodes84]

I was 12 when I saw this in the theater, I fell asleep thinking it was the most boring movie I seen hen, But being older, I appreciate and understand it more.

[@tubularap]

Wonderful reaction. Your engaged viewing and commentary deserves more quality movies. I suggest reacting to movies by directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and the Coen Brothers.

[@tduffy5]

You two are very perceptive. I have seen many reactions to this film. Where other reactors are stumped about has happened, or what is about to happen, you two perceive it, every time. Due to your youth you sometimes lack historical perspective, but, even then you catch on quickly. I very much enjoy your reactions.

[@quicktastic]

You are so right about language learning. My friend at work is from Columbia. He speaks his native Spanish and knows English quite well. His wife speaks mainly Spanish. They have a young boy born here and he grew up around both languages. He is 8 and is fluent in both Spanish and English. It came easy for him.

[@MrJonnyblade]

There was one difference between Red's successful parole hearing and his previous hearings. He expressed genuine remorse for what he had done

[@dklabratful]

Right. The first two times he was just hitting all the notes he thought they wanted to hear, spouting all the cliches. It wasn’t genuine and they knew it. When he gave them an honest, genuine answer they knew he was ready for parole.

[@bbwng54]

You guys do a terrific job understanding and reviewing the movies you watch. This movie has become a classic. Keep up the good work! I have noted that reactors from a lot of good channels have a thoughtful, detailed analysis and discussion.

[@ThomasTreece-mp8md]

You both speak so eloquently in this reaction. I am now a subscriber and look forward to more wonderful experiences with each of you. Thank you for such a human, authentic reaction. 💙

[@owlhouse53]

The redemption was Red’s, from hopelessness to hope 💜 Great film, great reaction! 👏👏

[@IdliAmin_TheLastKingofSambar]

Yup. While Andy is the film’s central character, Red is really the protagonist, just like in _To Kill A Mockingbird_ (the novel and the film, but not Aaron Sorkin’s stage adaptation), in which Atticus is the central character, but Scout is the protagonist. Over the course of both stories, Andy and Atticus change those around them, but Andy himself doesn’t change very much, and Atticus really doesn’t change at all. That’s why the original ending was Red on the bus saying, “I hope,” because it’s really _his_ journey-catalyzed and inspired by Andy-that we’re following.

[@therantingboy]

Shawshank has one of the most satisfying endings of any movie ever.

[@joeyashe6075]

Just found these reaction videos! Love them! Keep it up!

[@rollotomassi6232]

Great reaction and the editing was top tier! A point to be made about the movie; Andy is the main character, but it is Red's Redemption. Andy didn't commit a crime so there was nothing to redeem. Red did commit a horrible crime by sabotaging the brakes on his wife car to collect a large life insurance policy she had come into. Ended up killing the neighbor and the neighbor's child due to brakes failing. Red found this redemption after Andy escaped prison, Red finally accepted responsibility for his actions, voiced his sincere regret/remorse for the horrible crime he committed, said let's cut the bullshit to the parole board, and gained his freedom / redemption.

[@mikecarson9528]

That was a beautiful reaction.

[@keshhan6412]

That is the best movie ever made, Brooks ending was the saddest part and the final scenes from Red reading the note up to the time Andy and Red meet again is the happiest part.

[@darshin95]

[@CrazyBunny123]

Red could have suffered the same fate as Brooks, but it was Andy who saved him in the end.

[@Mister_Samsonite]

After all the dark twists and turns, ultimately such a wholesome movie, and a wholesome reaction. Love you ladies!

[@tileux]

The novella this is based on (from the book, Four Seasons) is called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. You guys are probably too young to remember Rita Hayworth but she was the movie ‘goddess’ before Marilyn Monroe. In the book each chapter is a period of time marked by Andy getting Red to get him a new poster, ending with Raquel Welch.

[@delerium101]

Great reaction :) I'm in my mid 50s to I always get a kick from seeing the Raquel Welch poster, she was my first celebrity crush when I was a kid:)

[@loganmaximus2160]

A fatal flaw of this movie is that Andy is a smart guy and he would have known that he didn't need the warden to help him with the news of the man who really killed his wife. A warden is never your advocate and Andy would have known that. He would have gotten a lawyer to work on his behalf on the outside. He especially wouldn't have gone to the warden because of the illegal activities.

[@SpikeMatthews]

So glad you enjoyed this movie; it's my all-time favourite.

[@robburns4176]

The "We're reel'n 'em in" guy is Alfonso Freeman, Morgan Freeman's son. Alfonso also provides Red's parole hearing photo.

[@yappers2011]

I watched it in the theatre at 17 and it was my favorite movie i had ever seen. Today at 46 its still my favorite. And i dare venture to say, it shall always be so.

[@CoastalNomad]

Great Reaction...... "Serve Two Life Sentences Back to Back"...... For a life sentence you may be released on Parole after serving 20 Years, So Andy would be eligible for parole after 40 years...... The Picture on Redd's file at parole hearing is his son.... Redd Saying "Maybe, Cause I'm Irish" is directly from the book, where the character was an Irishman..... The Book ends with Redd on the Bus...... "Test Screenings" showed audiences wanted to see Redd and Andy reunited, so they created the Beach scene..... Both "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" were written by Stephen King and Directed by Frank Darabont.....

[@DaveyNaples]

Rita Hayworth was an actress who was famous at the time, Andy wanted a poster of her. Fun fact, the original story the film is based on, is called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption

[@captbunnykiller1.0]

The warden wanted to keep Andy no matter what because he actually knew full well that Andy was a decent guy who might eventually talk of what happened at the prison. The thing however that put Andy into prison, being "hard to read", also got him out. The warden expected a lot but not such determination and patience. The movie makes a great point on how we sabotage or advance our own lives by what we say and omit to say. Just like with Red, who was let out in the end not because they thought him rehabilitated but because he finally admitted that he had lost hope for himself, which he probably had decades before already. To them is was a sign that they had broken him or at least his old self. Still my favourite movie. Wonderful reaction!
