Serving two life sentences consecutively either means, or used to mean, that as soon as the convict is eligible for parole for the first sentence, the second sentence starts, and it will be another seven years or so until the convict is actually eligible for parole.

[@j.woodbury412]

I think the reason they finally granted him his parole the third time was because the first two times they thought his speech sounded rehearsed or memorized. it was probably what they heard from every prisoner who was up for parole- "Yes, I'm a changed man. I've learned my lesson. I'm no longer a threat to society". But the last time, he sounded sincere, like he was really taking responsibility for his actions, especially when he said "I'd like to have a talk with that young man and tell him how things are". They knew he wasn't just saying what he thought they wanted him to say so he could get out. He was speaking from his heart.

I'm the Stephen King book, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," the character Red (Redding) is Irish. When director, Frank Darabont cast Morgan Freeman, they used the quote as an inside joke because of the casting change. Readers of the book immediately understood the meaning of the quote when they watched this scene in the film.

[@garethm3242]

It's also a more basic surface joke to those unfamiliar with the short story. "Maybe it's because I'm Irish" - the joke being that red hair is an Irish trait, so works as a joke as he's clearly unlikely to have Irish heritage.

In the parole office at the end, red told them he regretted every day and wanted to talk sense into that kid who was gone, but the only one left was this old man. That’s what convinced that. The murderer was gone.

[@MrGruffteddybear]

Sears and Roebuck was a chain of huge department stores originally started as a mail order catalog in 1892 that would basically sell anything and everything. And that white stuff was de-lousing powder. I think Red got paroled because he finally told the parole board what he really thought, instead of what he thought the parole board wanted to hear.

[@WarKrieg]

How do you say this but omit the most obvious fact, which is that Sears and Roebuck is simply the old name for Sears, which is still around and that they probably know. As recently as the 90s when they were kids, Sears had huge stores everywhere.

@@everyonelovesmajima Yeah but @WarKrieg 11's comment is still valid. The reactors said they were born in 1992. Even though the Sears company had been in decline for awhile, the big wave of store closings didn't start until the 2010s (bankruptcy was in 2018). Also, Sears TV commercials were all over the place through the reactors' childhood and teen years. I guess maybe it's a "Mandela Effect" thing that a lot of people think Sears shrunk up and went away earlier than it truly did.

I hear you, but I think you have the wrong preception of old cinema. The quality of storytelling is just superior. You really need to watch Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chinatown, etc. They will change your perspective. The 1970s and 1990s might be the two best decades for film, but the 40s-60s has some bangers. There's not a film in the last decade that holds a candle to any of these.

[@christopherdunlap7028]

Shawshank is a top tier movie. Often times people who commit these terrible crimes aren't the same people when they get out. Some people don't learn but once you've been in so long, the person getting out isn't even the same person who went in. How much have you changed in 20+ years.

One of the points of the story I think is that people in prison are still people. They're not animals. They're being punished for their crimes by being there. Thinking the things they are going through somehow count less because they committed a crime is wild. Stephen King is a great storyteller. Good reaction.

I was convicted for growing Marijuana in the Orange Hills in California in1988. I was sentenced to 16 months in prison, first offense. I found jail to be much worse than prison, but my experiences are with a one yard, non-violent offenders. In jail, they haven't classified anyone yet, so you could be next to an accused murderer or other violent type.

[@jmiyagi12345]

It ran the same year as Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump. Gump got the Oscar. In fact, I believe Shawshank didn't even perform well in theaters, some attribute it to the movie title but had a big resurgence in rentals and tv.

[@hypocritex]

What a year for movies.

[@Eidlones]

Shawshank came out during a very heavy period of "tough on crime" in the states. Criminals weren't intended to be seen as people, just violent criminals that needed to be locked away. The masses had no desire to feel sympathetic towards criminals, so they stayed away

[@andrewriley6862]

Sears and Roebuck was mail order from a catalog. Amazon before Amazon.

[@nicholasletts5849]

The reason Red's parole was approved at the end was because his response was genuine, it meant something, it wasnt just a rehersed paragraph hoping to gain favor

[@orangeandblackattack]

the additional life sentences do have a purpose. It extends the period of time they gotta serve before they are eligible for first parole hearing. If 1 life sentence requires 20 years served before parole, 2 life sentences means he has to wait 40 years for his first hearing. They rarely give out more than 2 because they will be so old it wont matter.

[@georgeanthony7282]

Exactly my point... but I guess even critics who understand nothing about the law can have their say-though it carries virtually no merit since these two don't bother to educate themselves on the subject at hand.

[@mattjamison484]

Some corrections and clarifications: A life sentence is 25 years. And they give life sentences either consecutive or concurrent. And they are given per count of murder. So 2 murders could give 2 life sentences that serve at the same time(concurrent) meaning only 25 years is required before parole or back to back(consecutive) meaning 50 years to serve. And they give multiple sentences to "hedge their bets", if you beat a conviction on one count, you still have to serve life on the other. So your last sentence is completely false.

[@TD-mg6cd]

The $10 for the hammer in 1947 is about $140 today. The $35,000 inheritance in 1949 is about $450,000 today. The $370,000 in 1966 is about $3.5 million today. Sears & Roebuck was a catalog department store. They sold almost anything. Like Amazon without the internet.

[@johnfletcher8931]

This is a short story by Steven King. In the book it explains that in the box at the rock wall, is where Andy hid the driver license and SS card for Randle Steven's. He created the fake person before he went to jail. He knew he'd need it when he got out.

[@saaamember97]

The reason Andy got two life sentences, is because they were treated as separate murders. It's also a way to guarantee that Andy stays in jail, in the event that he is later found innocent of one of the murders. Such as, if they later found out that Andy was innocent of shooting his wife, because it was determined that her lover was the one who shot her, and that Andy shot her lover for killing his wife. Andy would then have to still serve a life sentence for her lover's murder.

[@havok6280]

Not exactly. A "life sentence" is a minimum of 25 years. After that, a convict is eligible for parole. So two life sentences means a minimum of 50 years.

They give people multiple life sentences to ensure they stay in prison even if they would normally get out for parole or if one of the convictions is over turned. For instance if they found out later that Andy only killed his wife and the other guy died some other way. If they lump all the crimes into one sentence then if any part is disproved later he would be let out.

there are many theories why red got parole at the end. i like the idea that he got it because he said he didn't care about it, basically admitting that he deserved to be in prison, which can be taken as proof of genuine remorse.

Andy did actually say he was innocent during trial when they were discussing that they couldn’t find the gun Andy tossed in the river.

[@KrazzeeKane]

The movie never explains what Red and Brooks did to land them in prison, but they definitely deserved it: Red is in for a triple homicide: Red planned to murder his wife for the insurance money, so he cut her brakes but that day his wife picked up their neighbor and their neighbor's child to go to the store together, and so all three died in the car crash. Brooks was in prison for a double homicide: he had a losing poker streak, and in a rage he murdered his wife and his own child in cold blood. So while they may have changed in prison, they definitely were not good people before hand.

[@adamcartwright7281]

Great reaction like always, this is a masterpiece of cinema, A masterclass in pretty much every category. An incredible script, wonderful direction, gorgeous score and phenomenal performances by Freeman and Robbins. Some fun-facts about this movie, Stephen King sold the rights for $1,000. The baseball throwing scene took 9 hours The scene where Andy and Red are standing and talking outside whilst Red is throwing a baseball back and forth took a staggering nine hours to film. Morgan Freeman threw the ball endlessly the whole time. The following day, when he arrived at work, his arm was in a sling. Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford were considered for Red, and Brad Pitt audition for the role of Tommy but he pulled out of the role because of another movie, later Brad Pitr said he regretted that decision. Red’s mugshot is Morgan Freeman’s son , When you see Morgan Freeman’s papers at one of his parole hearings, there are mugshots of a younger Red attached. These are actually photos of Alfonso Freeman - Morgan’s son. He also had a small part in the movie. He was one of the inmates shouting ‘Fresh fish!’ Stephen King’s novella was titled, ‘Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.’ This was shortened for the film because they didn’t want people to think it was a biopic about Rita Hayworth. This was proven to be true when several actresses applied for the ‘lead role of Rita Hayworth’. Keep up the amazing work.

[@danielcody7568]

6:17 Sears and Roebuck, which later became Sears, the once ubiquitous national giant department store chain found at every mall, and now defunct, started as a mail order catalog where you could buy just about anything: clothes, cookware, hardware, machine guns, and even complete kits to build houses. And these fresh convicts largely aren’t supposed to be in their 40s. Times was hard back then, people usually looked older than their actual age. They started smoking cigarettes when they were 10, they usually didn’t have adequate nutrition, if you grew up poor you often had to work laborious jobs outside or in a coal mine shortly after you could walk, and sunscreen really wasn’t a thing. You could have been 20 and looked 45 to a person of today.

As to multiple life sentences. After serving a certain percentage of a sentence, a prisoner becomes eligible for parole. So by sentencing someone to more than one life sentence, a judge can postpone, or eliminate a convicts opportunity for parole.

Two life sentences ensure that he won't get parole ever.

They do two life sentences because of the chance that one is proven later that he didn't kill him/her, and this protects them from a full release from prison -- he would only get pardoned for one murder, not both.

You can parole from a life sentence, like Red did, you can parole from two life sentences run concurrent, but you will never get out if a judge gives you two life sentences which run consecutive. This first sentence has to end before the 2nd can start.

[@markaitcheson3212]

Multiple life sentences make perfect sense, if you kill multiple people you deserved to sentenced for each crime no matter if you are alive to serve it, if one of the victims was your relative wouldn't you want them to recieve a sentence for it regardless of what ever else they got? Each victim deserves individual justice, it's that simple, and for example what if one of the cases got turned over later and he gets out, with multiple sentences he's going nowhere.

Sears and Roebuck was a full color in later days mail order catalog. At its peak it paid for the world's tallest building at the time, the Sears Tower in Chicago. Discover credit card was spun off from Sears.

This prison is 45 minutes away from where I live. It's Mansfield penitentiary, in Mansfield Ohio. They give tours and everything. It's also rumored to be haunted. They sell tickets for sleep overs around Halloween.

The Sears and roebuck stores had a magazine that you could order anything from. Even a House. They would deliver it and you would build it 😅. When I was a child alot of people used the pages for toilet paper. Back when we had out houses.

If you are given time for each charge, the Judge can have you serve them back-to-back or concurrent. 10 for each can be served as 10 years (concurrent) or you serve 10 then the second 10 for 20 years (back-to-back).

Morgan Freeman narrated the whole story before filming began. Such a talent. Amazing film. Worth rewatching a few times 🤘👊

Red was paroled because he finally expressed contrition for what he had done.

[@js6729]

So A one-life sentence imposes an obligation on a defendant to serve 15 to 25 years in prison until the eligibility of parole. The sentence depends on the gravity of the crime and on the jurisdiction in which the defendant is tried. Parole is usually granted to individuals who have displayed good behavior. That's why you can get multiple life sentence.

You may what to check 12 Angry Men as for "old movies" this one still lives up to this day.

4:15 it's more about punishing the crime that the criminal committed than it is giving "extra" punishment. Each crime gets you a separate sentence that matches each crime.
