that thumbnail startled me I thought it was the netflix remake

[@MrEvenStranger]

I've seen this movie so many times, and for the first time, I realized the hammer was stored in Bible starting at the book of Exodus! Well done!

[@garryiglesias4074]

So many details everywhere... Very well crafted movie...

[@Timmycoo]

lol it's a movie you can watch a lot of times and find out little intricacies that somehow tie into the plot later on. I will wholeheartedly call you a derp for missing that one though :P Mr Even lol.

[@craigfowler7098]

Best film ever made. Excellent storyline, intelligent narration, superb acting, impeccable lighting, erc etc.

[@robertlain6095]

I think The Green Mile and Forest Gump with this film top 3 all time❤️

[@campagnollo]

Dufresne: Why do they call you Redd? Redd: Maybe because I’m Irish This tongue-in-cheek quote refers to the in-book character, who is Irish.

[@ponfed]

It was a great joke and a great a great wink. Legend has it that Darabont, the director, wanted Freeman for the role, but ran it by Stephen King, to make sure it was OK, since the character was Irish in the story. King gave his whole hearted blessing. They both could see how he was perfect even though he wasn't a white redhead. Nowadays we'd have a bunch of racists screaming that they'd gone 'Woke'. He was perfect and that is that. Posterity has spoken... ❤

[@somersetcace1]

This was adapted from a short story by Stephen King, from a book of four short stories called "Different Seasons." This one was Spring "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." With a subtitle of "Hope Springs Eternal" Which makes perfect sense with the theme of the story. I read it long before the movie was made and I have to say, they did a brilliant job. Everything about that movie was spot on.

[@maureenseel118]

Stephen King knows what he's doing. Phenomenal writer.

[@terryv2006]

Holy crap Ralphie! When the movie said “packed a bag” and you finished with “last night preflight” you had me! So few would get the reference and you finish song lyrics exactly like I do.

[@dioneberts1715]

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.

[@janecrow1122]

Tommy not being able to read also helps explain his criming since he was 13. New to your channel: enjoyed watching with you. Peace, all 💕

[@wolfie35p]

This is a brilliant movie, and in my eyes, the best movie NEVER to win an Oscar. I have seen this movie well over 25 times, and never get bored of watching it, and it always brings a tear to my eyes at the end of it too.

[@kevincraycraft1473]

Great, emotional reaction!!! You nailed the reaction Stephen King was looking for. This is my favorite movie hands down. FYI...this movie actually "bombed" at the box office in 1994 and didn't win many awards from that year at the 1995 Oscars due to it being the same year as Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump (both highly more advertised). This movie did in fact "kill it" when released on VHS and DVD (yes...back then)...and after all of the reruns on TBS during the late 1990's and early 2000's on cable. This movie became the best selling one "after" the box office. Highest rated on iMBD. Another very interesting note is that the "redemption" part is not solely with Andy...in most part it was Red's redemption. Red told Andy towards the end of his thoughts as being a "shitty pipe dream"...well that's actually through the means of how Andy escaped.

[@ponfed]

In my circle we called it an "ass sticker" or in French "un colle-cul".. cause when you caught it on cable, your ass was stuck on the couch until it was over...😂

[@PeteGeorge]

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

[@emmant1523]

Yo that thumbnail is so funny man! Keep up the good work ! 😂

[@wilcox2146]

That cover art took me a min to realize wtf I was looking at 😆

[@thatRalphieGuy]

🤣

[@The1Music2MyEars]

@@thatRalphieGuy Very well photoshopped/taken!

[@JMan-24]

I thought it was Morris Day.

[@tubularap]

No problem, your emotions were shining through clearly. Very good reaction.

[@sparksdrinker5650]

[@gymschooz]

She packed her bag "last night, preflight".. Lol nice Elton John reference.

[@elbruces]

When Brooks went into Shawshank, there weren't cars on the streets, only horses. Think about how weird that must be for him.

[@starwish2468]

@@elbruces Back in Brooks days, people could afford to have a horse, whereas most people couldn't afford a car. Now, most people can afford a car, but can't afford a 🐎.

[@chriss5165]

Easily one of my favorite movies, great reaction vid!

[@gordondafoe3516]

Great perception Ralphie! Make it work for 'ya!

[@timkeller3907]

It was fimed 8 minutes from my apartment, here in Mansfield, Ohio.... very cool to see Mansfield in a huge movie.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

The scene in the library on screen looks like Millie treating Gideons injuries with witchazel oil in 7 brides for 7 brothers. Outrageous movie even then, so good. Solitary can seriously mess up your head. The geneva convention says any more than 21 days is too much, inhumane treatment. Pwer corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[@Stark-Raving]

In the novela Jake is found dead in the yard, having been unable to survive without the care he received inside the prison.

[@that.ll_do_pig]

😭

[@richardcarle786]

Watching another because i enjoyed your forest gump reaction so much. This and Forest Gump are quite possibly the best movies ever made!

[@belindalopes6774]

That wasn't the original ending. Original stopped at the bus ride but audiences wanted more. So they added that bit at the end.

[@davidwilkins5932]

My first of your reactions, and it’s a great one. Such a timeless classic. I like your overall presentation and editing choices. No need to worry about talking less, and in fact it’s a refreshing plus, compared to so many other reactors.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Don't tell me I'm the only one who picked up on the *Andy:* "she packed her bags..." *thatRalphieGuy:* "....last night, pre flight"? One of the best retorts ever!

[@ginahouston9352]

that thumbnail! 🤩😍🥰 be still my heart! 💋

[@ponfed]

Fun fact. The original short story by Stephen King was called : Rita Hayward and the Shawshank Redemption.. great movie! And great reaction!!!❤

[@claymccoy]

When Red tells Andy going to Mexico is "shitty pipe dreams", it foreshadows Andy escaping through a pipe of shit.

[@Otokichi786]

"The Shawshank Redemption": A tale about Hope, Friendship and The Count of Monte Cristo. 34:51 A little-known song for Andy Dufresne: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a17JlKmkjql4gJI 39:14 A song for Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding," on his way to Zihuatanejo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGbWgGN-l6dojbs Numerous KZbin viewers have said that 2.5 hours and 19 years just flies by, which is the mark of a Classic movie.;)

[@azwildcats7842]

The sewer pipe he broke through is made of clay. That’s why it was so easy to get through.

[@gggooding]

Ralphie, *superb* editing of the reaction. Razor! (imao, that is) I look forward to whatever you react to next!

[@thatRalphieGuy]

I appreciate you!

[@gggooding]

@@thatRalphieGuy The slowing of voice-over to include content whilst dodging copyright lasers, hitting the "beats" of jokes/dramatic-reveals... I spent (wasted?) 10+ years making and editing commercials. Editing is an unforgiving bi**h. You're either experienced and/or naturally brilliant at it. 🤌 Props!

[@thatRalphieGuy]

I put in a lot of time to make sure you guys get coherent story that flows well + my reaction. So to see this comment is really uplifting. I actually had to reupload this 42 times to bypass copyright lol. So I was really worried about the flow and how some scenes may lose its feel. But thank you man, I really appreciate it!

[@hughfuller8416]

BROOKS!!!

[@craigfowler7098]

Best movie ever made.

[@ciarradreams11]

He wasn’t in the green mile. You’re thinking about Tom Hanks.😂 Tom Hanks played Forrest Gump as well

[@thatRalphieGuy]

I was talking about the lawyer lol, but thats my bad. The way I edited it made it look like I was talking about Andy 😅

[@ciarradreams11]

@@thatRalphieGuy lol you’re editing was good I enjoyed watching

[@Patt187]

took me a sec to realize you were in the thumbnail lol

[@TheCashcrue]

This is my second favorite movie of all time behind Jaws.

[@belindalopes6774]

Big Stephen King fan, didn't think much of the short story Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption when I read it. But absolutely love the movie. Re-read the book recently, still prefer the movie version.

[@Fred-vy1hm]

Not one of, "The" top ranked movie and for 15 years running, in fact it's never been lower than 3rd on IMDB since they started ranking it.

[@Bill_Jones.]

As a technical suggestion, occasionally when your image is shown on the screeen, the timbre of the voices of the dialogue drops down quite a bit. Can you look at editing this on other movie reactions ? Thanks.😊

[@sfkeepay]

Great reaction. Earned my sub. p.s. “I hate that I said dildo.” I love that you said dildo. Hilarious.

[@Justinroberg]

Great thumbnail my man. Literally double taked.

[@lodey]

Elton John reference /golfclap well done
