Villagers React to THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994) MOVIE REACTION! *FIRST TIME WATCHING*

[@PeteGeorge]

I acted in Shawshank for two months the summer of 93. Great experience.❤😊

[@Cinephilesreact786]

🙌

[@jtoland2333]

Were you an extra?

[@PeteGeorge]

@jtoland2333 yes. They called it a core-con. A few of us, they wanted around Morgan and Tim the entire time. I was in 30 plus scenes.

[@aleatharhea]

This is a perfect movie. This may be the best reaction I've seen to it. They followed closely and didn't really miss anything, which certainly isn't as easy with foreign films. Their thoughts along the way were very astute. Naveed is as good at reviewing movies as he is at reviewing food; thoughtful and articulate. Mansoor was so overjoyed at the end, he needed a hug, and that brought tears to my eyes. Bravo!

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Stay blessed ❤️

[@gojiberry7201]

I think this movie is still #1 on IMDB. Stephen King always contributes so much to horror but also understands human nature so well. I love Morgan Freeman, too

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Morgan Freeman is a living legend.

[@daerdevvyl4314]

JessTarn He parrots whatever the media says. I wouldn't call that sophisticated. But he is a great writer.

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

Never lose these two -Naveed and Mansoor. They were made for this .❤

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Duo

[@djokealtena2538]

I always love the line: "Salvation lies Within." When the warden hands Andy back the Bible, not knowing this is where the hammer is hidden. In the warden's arrogance he literally hands Andy the tool he needs to escape.

[@seraphinaaizen6278]

Man, you guys are killing it with the movie choices. It's back to back masterpieces.

[@tubularap]

Absolutely. Loving the way this channel is going. Selecting the classics, and these men are great reactors. Looking forward to what will come.

[@mcfmcf4038]

agreed!

[@margielamark6162]

You took the words out of my mouth

[@minneyruth]

❤💯💯

[@shawngross5420]

Yes. Is Forrest Gump next?

[@kimmcsharry4256]

This is the best reaction to this film that I've ever seen. I kind of got emotional when Monsoor and Naveed hugged at the end. I also literally laughed out loud at the comment of Andy not being a murderer and just a problematic spouse. I think I will use that line next time my husband and I argue. haha

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@edvaldodominguessantos6109]

[@Carpathianpixie]

[@furtherdefinitions1]

They understood this movie so well, which shows how a good movie can cross so many boundaries and be relatable to anyone no matter where they are.

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Well said

[@Wiley_Coyote]

The Green Mile then this is an interesting combo. Despite the similarities (and common creative teams) they're kind of opposite movies in many ways. I'm glad to see they took the intended message of hope from this one.

[@Gnossiene369]

whats going on? You think they were savages or something? These comments are so bizarre. And incredibly insulting.

[@TheWizardsTales]

What a couple of genuinely wholesome guys. They could watch a movie about a guy that eats babies and they'd be all "This movie had some scary elements, but it reminds me of how precious every moment of life is." Then "Give me a hug" at the end cemented it for sure - I love these guys.

[@HenryHamel-j8p]

Absolutely great reaction. I loved how they went from being on the strict, religious, disciplined Warden's side, and assuming Andy gets what he deserves to a complete flip flop. That is exactly what this movie is supposed to do. The smiles on these guys' faces at the reveal of the tunnel were pasted on until the end. I couldn't help but smile ear-to-ear watching them. The hug sealed it for me. They will never forget this foreign film.

[@Righteous_Heathen]

I love how these two break down a movie. So spot on with their reactions. Keep up the great work!

[@cindymcanders]

Awe. At the end when he said “hug me!” Made me smile!!!

[@adrianhempfing2042]

I read this comment before watching. I thought I don't remember Andy/ Red saying that. Now it makes sense 😂😂

[@cindymcanders]

@@adrianhempfing2042 lol. I would have loved a “hug me” from Andy or Red tho!! Lol.

[@dianaharkin2354]

This movie was filmed in a real prison located in Mansfield, Ohio about an hour from my home. It's called The Ohio State Reformatory and it ceased being a prison in 1990. It is a museum now accepting tours and it is especially popular around Halloween because of how creepy it is. The movie was filmed there a few short years later and was released in 1994. There are tours dedicated to the movie.

[@anitawindbigler7100]

Yes. It's less than 2 minutes by car or 5 minute walk for me. I see it often, and think of the movie every time. But the new, in service prison is behind it. Lol The old one is about to have the Inkcarceration music festival next weekend and has Halloween stuff later. 😅😅😅

[@mildredpierce4506]

What a wonderful reaction especially at the end when these two hug. These two are so delightful.

[@cindyspangler3982]

I've watched this movie over 100 times, sometimes just to listen to while taking a nap, and I've cried every time at he ending. I adore both these men and their reaction...they even hugged each other, which made me emotional. They described the heart of this movie so well! Beautiful reaction, bless them both.

[@tubularap]

Great, beautiful reactions from the two men. Very pleased to see them watching good movies. Their intelligence and empathy is a joy to see.

[@janetsmiley6778]

Watching the two of you with all the emotion, reminds me of the first time I saw this film. I have watched it many times over the years, and it always seems fresh and new. Sadly, these wonderful films seem like dinosaurs, buried under the junk pile coming out of Hollywood. Your friendship reminds me of Andy and Red. Wishing good things for you from the US.

[@Fred-vy1hm]

It was directed by the same guy that did The Green Mile, Frank Darrabont and the redemption is Reds, not Andy's. Andy was never guilty of anything but through him Red comes to terms with his crime and is redeemed in the end. Great reaction to one of the greatest movies ever. 😊

[@0okamino]

I largely agree with you, but I think there was some other important redemption along with Red’s. Andy wasn’t legally guilty of murder, or any crime before he went to prison, but he was burdened with guilt over his failed marriage, and the events leading to her murder. He needed to come to terms with that, and redeem himself to himself. While Andy, at the very least, knowingly abets in criminal acts for the warden, I think that could be reasonably argued as being done under duress. Escaping from prison is illegal even if you’re innocent, and his sentence had not been overturned. If it could somehow be overturned, they might go easy on him, all things considered. The one I have bigger doubts about being able to justify in court is Andy (um, I mean Randall Stevens) profiting from the warden’s crimes with the fraudulent identity. Who knows? With a good enough lawyer, the court could possibly be swayed more sympathetically on that as well. Andy did, indeed, have to go to prison to become a crook.

[@bethcushway458]

Absolutely the best reaction to Shawshank Redemption i have ever seen. You guys are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@rosemarywatson1231]

These gentleman have made my day. The Shawshank Redemption is a great movie and Stephen King is a genius.

[@Bezanie]

I'm glad these gentlemen enjoyed the film! When I watched it, I was so happy when Andy finally escaped! And Red and Andy were reunited in the end. I just wish Norton got to experience what it was like to be locked up.

[@scipioafricanus5871]

Norton the Warden got busy dying.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

You are showing these wonderful gentlemen some great movies. Please continue. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Sure 😊

[@NorthernSoul23]

I so enjoyed "watching" this movie again through their eyes. their comments were outstanding. Whenever I get down I always repeat the words from this movie "Get busy living or get busy dying"

[@russetmantle1]

I can't tell you how wonderful it was to see two guys who love movies responding to The Shawshank Redemption for the first time. It reminded me of how I was blown away the first time I saw it too. A really great vid. 🙏

[@KrissyFace]

Loved your hug at the end ❤️

[@bellavita4237]

Love Love this movie Filled with kindness, suspense, corruption and evil doers. Naveed and Mansoor are a perfect team together. Both are smart and intelligent. I laughed with them and squirmed.😂 You should show them the movie Secretariat about a race horse who won the Triple Crown. No other horse since has achieved. Fun to cheer on. I think the guys will be shouting “Go Go” Thanks producer You doing good👌🏻

[@MyFondestMemories]

These movie reactions are terrific! Please show them “Castaway “. I think they would really like that one. Keep up the good work!

[@catherinefitzgerald7291]

I don't know if this was the result of my suggestion the other day, I hope it was. I loved how the men decided to hug each other at the end.

[@g-ma_of_8]

These guys credited the director, detailed the character portrayals, and talked about the movie's emotional impact just like professional film critics. Well done!

[@MrTommygunz420]

The outside shots of the prison were filmed about 45 minute drive from my house growing up; and the prison today is a haunted house for Halloween every year

[@selardohr7697]

Beautiful video! "Red" and "Irish" joke is, "Red" is a common name for a man with red (ginger) hair, usually a man with Irish/Scottish heritage. Red's surname is "Reddington" with "Red" as nickname, he makes a joke he is Irish man, but people of color are almost never from Ireland, usually very pale white skin. It's meant to confuse someone and make them laugh.

[@bethking7348]

Steven King wrote many bread and butter horror novels, but this and the Green Mile were his authentic masterpieces

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

Don’t forget “ The Stand” which I think should be required reading in school ( high school).

[@bethking7348]

@@ssshadowwolf6762 That book scared the heck out of me in high school!

Excellent choice! The guys are excellent film critics!

So amazing to see what’s universal about these films.

[@cassietad3178]

Omg these two are so sweet. I cant wait to see what else they react to

[@The.Pickle]

It's lovely watching these two react to movies, they seem like really great friends, just like Andy and Red.

[@Ottawajames]

The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are both excellent stories and both written by Stephen King, one of the most famous authors of all time.

[@paulafowler5099]

Watching these videos with you guys, makes me feel like it's movie night with old friends. Thank you for sharing your insights and perspectives...always a joy.

[@lyletuck]

Let our stalwart reactors know that many Irish people have red hair, and therefore are sometimes called "Red!" (The character in the book _was_ Irish. The movie character is probably joking about being Irish, as it's not likely that an African-American has Irish ancestors, though it is certainly possible.) Also, there's an old term in the Southern U.S. for mixed-race or multi-cultural people and that term is/was "redbone". That term might easily be shortened to "Red" and used as a name or nickname for Morgan Freeman's character.

[@RoadDoug]

I love how this movie can stir such emotion through all cultures.

[@bowwing333]

That hug was just what I needed this year. Thank you and God Bless 🙏 ❤️

[@Cinephilesreact786]

God bless 🙏

[@BIGE1312]

Watching these two gentlemen experience all the emotions and themes of this movie proves that nothing really divides us as humans. There is absolutely no reason we can not all live in peace. Watching this reaction was a joy! It gave me hope for the human race.

[@Rip2UDude]

1st The Green Mile and now Shawshank Redemption...they have watched cinematic masterpieces. Nothing can beat these 2 movies. Pure perfection❤

[@dbrice71]

I'm revisiting these movies with a new audience. I love it.

[@Cinephilesreact786]

[@ChicagoDB]

In addition to this being their second Steven King, Frank Darabont film…I wonder if they spotted that the “prosecutor” in Shawshank was also the older guard in “Green Mile”.

[@wolfie35p]

I absolutely love this movie, I have seen it over 30 times, and never get tirredof watching it. To me, this is the best movie NEVER to win an Oscar, and it deserved at least two.

[@rollotomassi6232]

Such a wonderful reaction! I thought some parts of the movie might be lost in translation, but listening to the comments and the outro you both understood the story completely.

[@suki910rajput]

“Hope is very powerful, it makes you strong” I love these guys.

[@richardeast3328]

You two reacted to the movie just like a friend and myself did when it was first came out.

Hey these guys are Soooo genuine with their reactions. It's wonderful. It might be good to tell them that their favorite movie (The Green Mile) and this movie are from books written by Stephen King and "No" he dies not write only prison movies.

The connection of red to Irish is a lot of irish are gingers/red haired. The joke is that Morgan Freeman is very clearly black and doesn’t look Irish at all lol. In the book he was very irish looking, but when Morgan was casted looking very different from the source material, you got this joke.

[@paulafowler5099]

Here is a little info about Rita...her family was from Spain, she married many times and also married a Shah, lived an unhappy life because men wanted the fantasy woman that she was in the movies, not the real woman (her words not mine) and sadly she died from Alzheimer's Disease. A truly beautiful woman with a sad, unhappy life always trying to have a 'normal' marriage and family. She deserved better.

Amazing movie and movie review. 100% authentic. You guys are really doing well with these movie reviews. Keep up the great work 😁👍

[@arcanask]

The joke about Red's name is that it has a couple different meanings. In the book, Red was originally Irish. Also, there's a stereotype about Irish being gingers. Very pale skin, red hair. Movie Red is very much not Irish and was pointing out the irony of being called Red despite all that.
