[@sudhisira]

I agree that was an excellent reaction video. She has a good heart indeed and so perceptive and full of empathy as well, which makes her reaction videos so great to watch. Here's a break that she can take with a fantastic comedy from about the same time period i.e. the early 90s - "Cool Runnings". It is not the usual, run-of-the-mill slapstick type of comedy, but one of those rare movies that you remember for its excellence and its positivity. And it is based on actual events. And if she wants to see a more serious movie, "Rain Man" would be a great choice.

[@StreetHierarchy]

It warms my heart that she didn't rejoice when the warden shot himself.

[@lethaldose2000]

Brooks death crushes me every time. He was so lonely, so disconnected. To Brooks, it would be a totally alien world, filled with things he only saw in comic books. To think when Brooks went to prison in 1905, there were only dirt roads for horses and wagons. The Wright brothers hadn't invented the airplane. Everyone used gas lamps, no phones, and no running water. By the time Brooks was released, two world wars had happened. There were paved roads. Everyone had a car, TV, and radio in their house. Jet planes soared overhead, and the space race had just begun.

[@dalblack8712]

Calling this movie “Escape From Shawshank Prison” is like calling Star Wars Episode V, “Darth Is Luke’s Dad”

[@JWar-]

It's an unfortunate problem of the Russian language. With some languages things get lost in translation, but in Russian too much gets added in translation. For example the movie "The Usual Suspects" in Russian is called "The Secret Villain".

[@StCerberusEngel]

@@JWar- Just goes to show how important the right translation can be.

[@jeffking887]

And it entirely misses the point. The movie is about the “redemption” of Ellis Redding.

[@JWar-]

Maybe it's about the redemption of the warden. He does the only good deed he is capable of, making the ultimate sacrifice to rid the world of his evil presence. The only good Samuel Norton is a dead Samuel Norton.

[@sdafasdfasdfsda]

@@JWar- The Sixth Sense was called "Boy That See Dead People", The Crying Game was called "Girl You Tell Your Friends Pretty Hot Turn Out To Be Man".

I am dumbfounded they call this "Escape from Shawshank Prison" in Russian. They're blowing the entire third act in the title!! Unbelieveable.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Yeah they took the meaning from Redemption and translated it wrongly into Escaping. It's like calling Return Of The Jedi The Defeat Of The Space Nazis...lol

[@fafenel]

Yeah I think it's a mistake, but the movie isn't based on the evasion of Andy. I think it not remove the emotions of the movie and there's not a huge suspense in it. So it's basically not so stupid, it not ruin the film as you think.

[@cavaliothorson7755]

Yeah, I'm confused on why they don't just call it Shawshank.

[@jamesprins9735]

@@fafenel Yes, I agree. It's as much Red's story as it is Andy's. I think Red had the greater redemption arc.

[@laustcawz2089]

The people in charge of the translation had probably already seen 1979's "Escape From Alcatraz" & realized that this was the same basic idea, just tweaked a bit, sort of contrived &, also, "...Alcatraz" was based on a true story.

[@marcuscato9083]

One of the saddest stories ever.

[@christinegelabert1651]

@SlickRicHelicopter THAT'S one of the parts that hits me so hard ALSO. I deal with a lot of people who commit suicide while in jail or prisons. I'm an international prisoner advocate for OVER 35 years. I deal with every level of the system from my juveys TO my people on Death Row. I can tell you one thing, it doesn't get any easier with time. It's very hard to go through when you get that phone call from a prison or family member telling you that your client has committed suicide. That's the reason why I ALMOST NEVER turn my phone off. Since there's three different time zones here and others globally. I make sure that my people can reach me whenever they need to. The ONLY times my phone is turned off is when I am at a wake OR at a funeral. Many people don't understand when it comes to lawyers, paralegals, prisoner advocates, and so many others who work in the other legal community. We really don't take the usual holidays off that other people do. When it comes to holidays such as Thanksgiving but especially Christmas. THAT IS actually are busiest times when it comes to self harm incidents and suicides. People feel a lot of depression, anxiety, psychotic breaks. Many people inside can't deal with the separation from their family more about those times of year. I'm pretty sure that you're aware of with Kalief Browder because his casemade the news nationally. HE was one of "my kids" for almost the whole time that he was inside. When I lost my Kalief~that absolutely took me down to a level I've never been at before in all these decades. He literally broke my heart into pieces. He is one of "my kids" that I love and miss and think about to this day. I had to pull back from my advocacy work because I could not function for a little over a month. Even after all the of the deaths by old age, violence, suicides and through executions. I had never stopped advocating until I lost Kalief. His death came with the heels of me losing an innocent man on death row..ALSO it was right around the time of.a suicide of a woman's case I had spent over a decade on. We'd managed to get her OFF of Death Row decades ago. It was about a week prior when she had shot herself in the head. THEN I lost my Kalief and I pretty much lost my mind~I could no longer focus. I was literally sick for a month with all that was going on. Between not being able to sleep, intense headaches, hand trimmers, and vomiting~the stress was really getting to me. People have to understand that when all these things come back to back. Especially when it comes to death row cases and some of them in multiple states of running back to back. These symptoms along advocates and others are par for the course. But this time it was just really bad for me after I lost him. I realized I was going to be no good for anybody else until I was able to pull myself back together. So for the first time in over 35 years, I had to fall back and collect myself. This movie affects me because not only do I deal with guilty people, but I also deal with innocent people in the system. I understand where Brooks is coming from, because I work with an advocacy group specifically for what we call long-timers. These are people who have done at least 20 years or more, many of them are disabled now and no threat to the public. They go through the same emotions and disorientation as he did since the world has changed so much. Some of these people have been in for almost 40 years, they have no idea how to even use the cell phone because IT JUST DIDN'T EXIST BACK THEN. They have to learn how to navigate through a brand new world with things such as ATM machines, microwaves, computers, credit cards WITH THE CHIIPS IN THEM, escalators, and many other things that just didn't exist. It seems like such a simple thing for us, but in many ways it's a scary thing for someone who hasn't been around for 40 or in some cases 50 years if they got locked up and they were 16. There's a lot of issues of almost panic, when they stand on escalator and all of a sudden it begins to move underneath their feet. Brooks in a lot of ways is one of my favorite characters in this movie. In my advocacy I have to say I do love dealing with the elderly population. Not just because they deserve to be released because they serve so much more than their actual time. But because I love to see the joy that some of them have on their faces sometimes at discovering new things when they come out. ❤️

[@mnomadvfx]

Just imagine it though - back then social security for OAPs was barely existent for many. For ex convict OAPs it would be completely non existent, no choice but to work until his body gave out and then starve/freeze to death with no money to carry on. Barbaric.

[@spaghetti9845]

The weird thing about the guy who played brooks is that he lived almost 20 years after the movie was made and even then he already looked very old

[@artbagley1406]

Once Brooks is paroled and he's riding on the bus to the half-way house, notice him gripping the metal seat grip so hard due to his nervousness. A very small "action," but so revealing and telling.

As hope is central theme to the movie it should have been called "Uma esperanca de liberdade".

[@mnomadvfx]

Nice name - I never really got the name Shawshank Redemption. I never really saw that Andy had anything to redeem but for being a distant husband, and to be fair that makes his wife the transgressor for not divorcing him first rather than shacking up with a random guy (which ironically got her dead anyways).

[@JWar-]

@@mnomadvfx When you harm others unjustly you lose a piece of yourself and you have to redeem yourself through atonement. Redemption can also mean when things are taken from you unjustly and you win back what was wrongfully taken. It's the perfect word because it can work both ways. If you haven't seen it before you might think Andy is guilty and will redeem himself through his actions in prison. It turns out he is innocent, but the life that was stolen from him is redeemed with his victory in the end. It probably also has a deeper spiritual meaning too, because life can be so screwed up that it doesn't seem like life should even exist, but the victory over evil can be so sweet that it redeems the concept of existence overall.

[@emptyhand777]

​@@JWar-- I think the redemption is for Red. Rednwas on the same path as Brooks. Andy saved him and help him redeem himself. Hope is a good thing...

[@njt2347]

There are so many little things foreshadowing the ending that are easy to miss. My favorite one is Red describing Andy at the start of the movie 'He strolled like a man in a park like he didn't have a care in the world." Why did he walk like that? Here's what Red says after Andy's escape. "Turns out Andy's favorite hobby was toting his wall out in the exercise yard one handful at a time." Those quotes are separated by a few hours but put them together and it's pure genius. Great job by the writer.

[@zzzzzzzzzzzk]

Nice use of foreshadowing

[@Salguine]

Escaping was a good enough trick, but cleaning out the warden's bank accounts was the cherry on top.

[@lethaldose2000]

In Shawshank prison, hope is such a dangerous thing. Andy made hope the best of things. Cause you can get busy living, or get busy dying. Such a classic line.

[@znk0r]

The most shocking thing in this movie is the warden actually posting Andy's letters.

[@mnomadvfx]

Not really, it's a minimal effort and expense for him to keep a vastly more useful resource happy. More likely he just brought them home and had his wife mail them the next day anyway. Or just had one of the guards do it on the way home in exchange for a favourable time shift/position in the prison. Notice that he is completely deadpan/political about explaining why the state Senate was very unlikely to approve funds for his library expansion - that is until he actually looks at the expression on Andy's face and realises how much it means to him, at which point he offers to post the letters. That realisation of how much it means to Andy is part of the leverage he uses on him to keep working after murdering his chance of freedom.

[@captainchaos3667]

In case you didn't know this: this movie is considered by many to be the best movie ever made. It regularly has the highest ranking on IMDB, for example.

What a wonderful reaction! You wear your emotions on your sleeve, which is very touching and amazing to watch. Seeing your reactions to these movies, makes us feel as though we were watching them again for the first time, and feeling those same emotions. Plus, I have to say that it is very enjoyable watching how intelligent you are and how quick you pick up on things, like guessing that the rock hammer was hidden in the bible when the warden first had Andy's cell searched. Not many people guess that, and it becomes a big reveal in the end when the warden opens Andy's bible and sees the hiding place for the rock hammer.

I absolutely love that you watch this movie. But I was also so scared for her because I knew that it was going to be an emotional roller coaster that she was going into. People who don't understand how prison truly works, especially in the old days. This is a hard movie to watch for them. The fact that she has such a gentle heart in a way made me want to sit next to her as she watches this. I already knew ahead of time that some of these scenes would affect her deeply. I'm happy that you watch this and understood all of what was going on even though it is in many ways a dark movie to watch. There really not a lot of steady feelings of an ongoing middle ground when it comes to this movie. There is either the feelings for the viewer of jubilation or the feelings of impending doom and also of tragedy. This is one of my favorite movies of all time even though I've never read the book and I am a Stephen King fan. I tried to get into the book but somehow it just didn't engage me. But when I saw the movie it absolutely pulled me into the characters and I was deeply affected. People often say that the book version is better than the movie. I'm an avid reader but in this case I believe that the movie out did the book.

I love to watch others experience this wonderful film. My daughter was diagnosed with flHCC at the age of 23. An ultra rare form of liver cancer. A 9cm tumor was removed from her liver. She endured 3 major surgeries and a 4th to clean up the mess from type first 3. Her scans have now been clear for about 2.5 years. We never lost hope. Partly because of this movie.

The Russian title is a huge spoiler! The guy that plays the head guard that's beating the crap out of people and murdering them, is the voice of Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob.

[@krisfrederick5001]

I have no idea why the hell they would do that.

[@spccewe7223]

Yes. Most stupid title ever. If I were Russian and about to watch this movie I would get really pissed.

[@jimk2099]

He is also the Kurgan in Highlander

[@williampilling2168]

@@jimk2099 He's been in a lot of things. But, I figured she's more likely to have seen SpongeBob, and Mr Krabs is quite a different character than Hadley.

[@bretthinson1616]

Seen it more times than I can count but every time you get emotional so do I…. Thank you for being true, pure, and emotional!

Rita Hayworth, a beautiful actress of the 1940's. She was very famous, especially during WWII.

[@stanj8019]

Your empathy is so moving. Keep up the great reactions!

[@javiazar]

The best movie of all time.

[@daryldarichuk2149]

Knew your emotions would pour out in this one. It's a true classic. Great reaction!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

one of the most emotional movies ever, you'll literally cry tears of sadness and then tears of joy hahaha. Red and Andy's friendship was one of the best things about this movie

[@TangentOmega]

Blasphemy means swearing. Delousing is a powder to kill lice. Rita Hayworth is the actress that flicked her hair in the movie Gilda.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Blasphemy isn’t swearing, per se. it’s taking the ‘lord’s’ name in vain (goddamnit, goddamn, Jesus fucking Christ etc)

[@leejamison2608]

Dasha, I must tell you that I have never seen anyone who displays the finest of humanity like you do! You are a joy to watch a movie with, I look forward to seeing more of you!

[@jasnycal]

Dasha, I watch a lot of peoples movie reactions to movies that I consider classics. Your emotion watching them brings me back each to the first time I watched them. You not only have a GREAT heart, but understand each movie as it comes to you. Keep up the great work, and God Bless You.!!!!!!!

[@HappyTeeth.]

saw this when it came out in 1994. seen it about 50 times. still emotional. It never gets old. this movie holds up so well.

[@robertjewell9727]

Thank you for bringing so much joy to our household sharing your wonderful viewing experiences with us, Dasha. 💕

[@NoCampDad]

I've seen this movie a dozen times. I cry every time, but seeing you cry makes it even more emotional. What a movie and reaction. Thank you.

[@petergoss821]

Total classic. Your reaction was PERFECT.

[@FamousMovieScenes09]

Here we go!! 🥤🤓🍿

[@happysaffa8871]

Shed some tears with you on this one. Absolute masterpiece. Thank you for your genuine and endearing reaction. :)

Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Carmen Cansino; October 17, 1918 - May 14, 1987) was an American actress, dancer, and producer. She achieved fame during the 1940s as one of the era's top stars, appearing in 61 films over 37 years. The press coined the term "The Love Goddess" to describe Hayworth after she had become the most glamorous screen idol of the 1940s. She was the top pin-up girl for American soldiers during World War II

[@laustcawz2089]

I thought the top WWII pin-up was Betty Grable.

[@bastiaan0741]

You're pretty brave for taking on this movie. It has some dark moments.

[@robertcarran9585]

I love when Red tells Andy that his wish to live in Mexico was a "shitty pipe dream" . A shitty pipe is, of course, exactly how he got out.

[@versetripn6631]

i spent 17 years inside. 18-36yrs old. Old Brookes served 3 times that much. Being 'Institutionalized' is tough. It 24/7 structure and routines. Not easy for all of that to disappear.

[@naomiwarner7117]

Most famous words that Andy said to Red " Get busy living or, get busy dying " setting outside in the yard, after he got out of the hole! Love this movie! Thanks Dasha.

[@thedarkwolf9423]

Rita Hayworth is the beautiful actress who does the hair flip in the movie. The original title of the story was "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" The poster was a large version of a popular pin-up photo from WW2.

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

Rita Heyworth was one of the great female “bombshells” of the 40’s She is the pretty lady in the film they were watching

[@wfly81]

I'm 41 yrs old, and to tell you how fast the 20th century went by, I remember my grandfather telling me he remembered the first time he ever saw an automobile. Isn't that amazing to think about?

[@tomwolfe6063]

My home town has a Classic Movie in the Park Picnic every Autumn on the very first cool night of the season. They string lights through the trees.and play classic movies on a big screen. This year, it was Shawshank.

[@stevenmccart5455]

I can't get enough of watching Dasha's genuine, heart-rending reactions to some of my favorite movies. What a beautiful absolute joy she is to watch.❤❤❤

[@kostissavramis9499]

" Enemy at the gates " is another film you should watch! I enjoy your reactions very much, keep it up!

[@jeffelliott7353]

I have never had another movie equal the turnaround from utterly defeated despair to soaring joy as this one.

[@bgt54rfvcde32wsxzaq1]

This Movie Made Me Cry And I Never Cry At The Movies. The Movie "Glory" Is Another Film That Made Me Cry 😢

[@jeremyfrost2636]

Good shout for Glory, it’s an underrated classic that doesn’t get mentioned as much as it should.

[@stefanforrer2573]

why do you capitalize every word?

[@xenomorph2056]

There are many reasons why this movie is in my top 3 favorites. ABSOLUTE 24k gold masterpiece of film.

[@TheWupperwolf]

Hello, Dasha you are such a nice, good hearted Person. I can highly recommend NOT to watch Schindlers List, it will break your heart.

[@JasonL220]

or 'The Pianist' that is arguably 'worse'

[@chrisbloomfield3350]

This film, hands down, is one of the best films ever made. It's the highest rated film on iMDB. It would have won every Oscar but "Forrest Gump" was released the same year and stole the show.

[@coreylee9342]

Would have done better at the box if it didn't release the same weekend as Pulp Fiction, great weekend for movies though

[@eliopearlman1309]

I cried exactly like this when I first saw Shawshank Redemption, bawled like a baby. I've never watched this movie again from start to finish, I just can't.

[@Anfa18]

the emotions you feel when watching for the first time or the 10th time are exactly what you are suposed to feel. The movie is so great it is considered by many as one of the best if not the best movie ever made.

[@Narutoanime16g]

Really love how invested you get in the story such a great movie and its crazy still today some people still get convicted for a crime they didn't even do thankful we have stuff like the Innocence Project to lessen that mistake

[@nitelite78]

A wonderful and powerful reaction. Almost felt like I was watching it for the first time again. I'm glad you kept as much of your reactions to the difficult parts in as possible.

[@spotter121877]

The GOAT movie for me. That movie where no matter which scene is playing while you're flipping channels you just automatically want to watch.

[@jakep3989]

I love watching others experience my favorite movies for the first time. Reactions like yours allow me to feel the emotions of my first watch again. Thank you for your wonderful video.

[@mhlevy]

The actor who played "Red," Morgan Freeman, is one of America's best actors today. He's been in so many amazing movies. One that isn't as difficult to watch as this movie, is called "Driving Miss Daisy," where he plays the driver for a wealthy woman, set around the same time frame as this movie. Racism and segregation at the time were quite real back then, but it's a truly moving movie, and in fact, it won 4 Academy Awards. I think you might really like it. I can't say enough how much I enjoy your reactions. You're a very perceptive and sweet young lady.

[@phluke9578]

Amazing emotional reaction. I loved it! You truly showed your emotions. I don’t like people to cry, but it shows how much a great human you are. With all the sad it still has a great ending. ❤️🤓 Again, love your reaction and all of your others. Can’t wait to see more! My new fav reactor.
