Tim Robbins remembers the legacy of ‘The Shawshank Redemption’

[@stef12121999]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate that this man risked coming out of hiding all the way from Zihuatanejo just for this interview? Respect.

Shawshank is a movie that if you are cleaning house or doing dishes and it comes on, you stop and sit down and watch it for the 100th time again and again

Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies ever! Don’t even know how many times I’ve watched it but have that emotional connection every time.

[@billmesheimer1513]

Watch the Green Mile again

[@Tehui1974]

I was so lucky to have watched the Shawshank Redemption at the cinema when it came out. I had no expectations before seeing it. I missed many of my other all time favourite movies when it came out, because I underestimated how good it was going to be. But I'm so glad I watched Shawshank at he cinema.

[@kanefears4245]

Hes so humble & really loves his profession & work. I wish he was more mainstream but I think him being lesser known just adds to his charm & character

Well he is an escaped convict so of course he will keep quite a low profile.

Tim Robbins has a timeless quality an actual living Legend

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

I didnt ignore The Shawshank Redemption i went and watched it 5 times in the theater in New Zealand when it came out and every time i feel depressed in life i watch it and i feel better

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

its a triumph of the human spirit

[@gilesa.4052]

Of all his films, Arlington Road was such a unnerving performance. went to see a film at the cinema, missed it so saw this and we came out really surprised in a good but also shaken way.

[@BethHarmon-yh8ms]

Yes, it was jarring to see Tim play a really bad guy after his sympathetic turn as Andy in Shawshank, but he makes a very good and chilling villain.

The only actor I would ever actually want to meet Jacobs Ladder and Shawshank are 2 of my favs

[@BethHarmon-yh8ms]

Yes, I love Jacob's Ladder as well. The Hudsucker Proxy and Arlington Road are really great films as well. Code 46 is a little-known gem, but it's definitely worth watching.

[@danielbrown1724]

[@fw1421]

I saw Howard the Duck in the theatre and laughed all the way through it.

[@TheWaterlily2012]

Yes, Tim, "The Shawshank Redemption" is a masterpiece. The acting, writing, directing, timing...a complete masterpiece. I think every class for the arts should be required to study how this was done. I have seen it so many times since it came out that I couldn't even tell you. I catch little things in it most don't that brought so much to the film. A look, a way a hand moved...you all did a great job. In my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

Shawshank was an absolute masterpiece..I can't think of another film that left such a lasting impression on me...

[@oldstudbuck3583]

Watched Shawshank at least four times and enjoyed every time.

[@jameswilliams-zr8co]

saw this in theaters in 1994, hardly anyone in the theater, it flopped at the box office, by 1999 it was the highest grossing video rental on VHS, this movie is a master piece, it's on many people's top ten list of all time.. best movie of 1994, than forrest gump, than pulp fiction

[@michaelwalsh564]

Yep. I'm one of those who consider Shawshank to be my favorite movie.

[@danettemckinnon7251]

And Shawshank redemption is my favorite film I tell people that all the time

[@jakobfromthefence]

Shawshank is just such an archetypal story about life. Pure and minimalistic and perfect. With all flaws included and we’re all in it. Everyone in more than one way.

[@karensingh2020]

a movie that has so many realistic scenes. its so down to earth so connected to human behavior.

[@crimsonWarrior-q7m]

Andy dufrense man that never gave up!

[@azizshalak8483]

Shawshank Redemption is my philosophy in life

[@movietella]

Kindly pause scrolling and make space for the following information in your memory banks: 1. When the prison warden found the Bible where Andy had hidden the rock hammer, it was in the book of Exodus. Exodus is a Greek word meaning "departure." 2. Red describes Andy's dream as "shitty pipe dreams". During his escape to live that dream, Andy crawls through a pipe filled with raw sewage. 3. If Andy had been incarcerated in just one cell to the left he would have had nowhere to tunnel to except the next cell, and thus would have had no amazing story to tell. 4. The three times Red meets the parole board he is told "Sit", "Sit down", and lastly "Please sit down". 5. Although it is never directly stated in the film, Brooks is in prison for allegedly murdering his wife and daughter after a losing streak at poker. 6. Despite being widely considered as one of the greatest movies of all time, it didn't receive a single Oscar win, though it was nominated for seven, including Best Picture. 7. The last word spoken in the movie is "hope", a major theme of the film.

[@jamesdelaney3797]

Don't forget Mystic River

[@davidwalter2002]

Shawshank, Hudsucker, Mystic River...three incredibly powerful movies, for different reasons. And he brought such amazing talent to make them so. Tim Robbins is a true artist.

[@redwingsfan3621]

And Arlington Road! Luv Its un-Hollywood type ending. You’re right that Mystic River was amazing.

[@jamesdelaney3797]

Mystic River

[@redwingsfan3621]

Arlington Road is also awesome. Best and most realistic ending ever! I saw Shawshank and loved it when it first came out in late ‘94. Didn’t realize it was so (ignored) in the beginning until much later.

[@fishgutz4272]

And still is popular; I watch it over and over and never tire of it. Us against "the system." Love them both.

[@thecookj454]

He's not particularly the best actor or one of the greats but he played lead role in perhaps the highest rated movie of all time, gotta give him props. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman played amazing roles in this film

[@BethHarmon-yh8ms]

I actually think he's a better actor than most people give him credit for. Not saying he's up there with Bogart, Fonda, Nicholson, Pacino, Hackman, etc, but he can hold his own when he has to and he just has a warm, boyish quality to him, even when he's playing not-so-good guys (such as in Arlington Road and Catch a Fire).

[@kwradar12]

One of my most favorite movies!

[@mmort55]

I love The Shawshank Redempton❤️

[@Gencturk92]

same what about titanic, forrest gump and pulp fiction ?

[@ROMEKBNY]

I just started reading the book. So far I like that there is more backstory for the characters.

[@BethHarmon-yh8ms]

While it's true there is more backstory, I think the film improved on several aspects of the story. In the short story, the warden has Tommy transferred to a minimum security prison with better privileges to bribe him to keep his mouth shut about Blatch, the real killer of Andy's wife and her lover. I feel it was much more realistic and practical in the movie for the warden to have Tommy killed.....dead men tell no tales. The warden did not want to lose his golden goose (Andy). Keeping Tommy alive with a stint at a better prison when there was always the chance he could talk when he got out would have been too risky. In the short story, Andy got his secret identity from one friend who set up the whole thing for him. The film has Andy setting up the fake ID and secret accounts all on his own. At the time he did it mostly for the warden, but once he realized the warden was never going to let him walk out of Shawshank, he got the ball rolling for his escape and laying claim on the secret alias and the accounts. I kind of like that Andy in the movie really had no one but himself to rely on to get him out of the 2 decades injustice he has had to endure. In the short story Andy is sent to Shawshank in 1948 and escapes in 1975. In the film, Andy comes to Shawshank in 1947 and escapes in 1966. Andy finds out about Blatch in 1963 and gets tossed in the hole (as in the film) when he goes to the warden about it. Norton threatens him just as he does in the movie (though his motivations in the story are a bit different, he wants to keep Andy not merely to hang onto his financial pet, but also because he sees Andy as a snob and wants to keep him under his thumb to give him 'a lesson in humility). However, Andy goes on being the warden's slave for a good 12 years before finally escaping in King's story. Andy pretty much escapes soon after being released from the hole in the movie, which I like so much better. Andy had already suffered enough by this point and it would have been too much to have seen him go on being bullied and threatened, forced to keep on slaving for the warden without anything to show for it for years to come. I also prefer the film's ending. At the end of King's tale, Red sets off to find Andy in Mexico, we never actually find out if he succeeds. At the climax of the movie we see a grinning Red greeting Andy on the beach. The movie ends from afar with them embracing. Don't get me wrong, I do so enjoy King's story, but Darabont made a lot of improvements on some elements that had me saying "Huh?" on occasion.

[@jenicali2076]

Love him so much!

[@garymcaleer6112]

Great post. And I'm happy for Tim's life's work. While others, like fads will fade into obscurity, his work will endure.

[@samspade4050]

Must have been a refreshing change with Clint as a one take director from Darabont taking 8 hours just to shoot the scene when Andy first meets Red

[@Devilsblood]

Jacob's Ladder deserves more love. There wouldn't be a Silent Hill if it weren't for that film.

[@ycnat1268]
