![Goodfellas (1990) Movie Reaction [First Time Watching]](/img/n.gif)
I will always love how Red changed his view on hope, in the beginning hope was a "dangerous thing" and in the end... "I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."
To use another quote, “hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”
Always gets to me
The "book" (really novella) this is based on was originally part of a collection with 3 others (2 of which have been made into movies) and each one had a season-related subtitle. Shawshank's was "Hope Springs Eternal"
For reference the others were:
Apt Pupil (Summer of Corruption) made into the movie of the same name
The Body (Fall from Innocence) Made into the movie Stand by Me
The Breathing Method (A Winter's Tale) which hasn't ever been made into a film.
I agree 👍🏾!
I love the sentiment but feel like it was overdone at the end saying i hope i hope i hope
According to IMDB, the all time greatest movie. Ever. I concur.
💯💯💯
What’s CRAZY is that it was considered a flop when it was released.
@@shannonbrigante5764 thats because of the media, the criminals were many and they didnt want a movie about prison life to be released
Agree, watched it for the first time 10 years ago, no other movie comes close
Definitely a lot a peeps all time favourite.
The scene where Andy talks about chess shows us he thinks ahead, strategising and planning. The film unfolds like someone playing chess with the system.
Fun fact: The man sitting directly behind Tommy on the prison bus was the actual warden of that prison before it closed. (Directors cut DVD)
😲😲
One of te Best Movie of all time. Great Reaction!
indeed!! we got surprised by the movie!!!
I've watched your reaction to Schindler's List and now this movie and I've enjoyed them both very much and that is because you give me the impression that you are both intelligent people who can follow the story and understand and appreciate what is happening in the movie and what the story is about.
I've watched several movie reaction videos where the person reacting is clueless about what's happening or offended over nothing or just talking about nonsense the entire time and half of the time i end up turning them off. On the other hand you guys are doing a great job from what I've seen. Keep it up.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Billrab Absolutely right.
I know exactly what you mean. I watched on reaction where the person was convinced that red was losing money on the fees he charged because in the 90’s cigarettes still cost about $5 a pack…there were other things too but that one sticks with me.
The score in Shawshank Redemption is so amazing. It speaks like another character in the movie. Especially during the intense dialogue moments. With the single note piano hits building to an eventual crescendo.
And I like harmonica motif, which appears during the "Red found Andy's wall" scene.
Based on a Stephen King novella..
Gosh - I love your reactions. You guys are so smart. You get it and that impresses me. Great reaction. Thanks. This is one of my favorite all time movies. Great job.
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for watching 😊😊
@ 10:32 Using a basic inflation calculator, $35K in 1949 would be about $400K today. @ 14:05 "Sizing up" is slang meaning to inspect, or to get a first impression of someone or something in this case with Andy. Also, I want to say it's really cool you pause the videos to comment. That way you don't miss anything. Not many reactors do that.👍 @ 22:08 That's right Joy. Not only using his job as a state official to make money on prison slave labor, but to not pay ANY taxes on it too. @ 23:19 There's a line in there not on your video, but you heard Andy say, "He's second-cousin to Harvey the rabbit." That's a joke referring to a wonderful classic movie starring Jimmy Stewart called "Harvey" (1950). About a guy who has a 6 foot tall, talking and intelligent invisible rabbit for a friend whom only Jimmy Stewart can hear and see. It's a good and very funny movie you guys should watch sometime. No doubt at Shawshank they would have watched it. @ 34:19 And hiding it right AT the book of Exodus! LOL! More movie suggestions not on your video page do, "Avatar" (2009), the "Back to the Future" (1985) trilogy, "Field of Dreams" (1989), "The Hunt for Red October" (1990), and more. If you're into westerns or want to try some, perhaps you should watch/do Clint Eastwood's 'Spaghetti Western' trilogy before watching Back to the Future, so you'll understand something you'll see in BTTF! Start with "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964). I think you'll enjoy these. ✌️😎
I heard that in test screenings of the film, before it was finalized and released, the movie ended with Red on the bus and the audience was unsatisfied they didn't get to see Red and Andy reunited.
Great reaction video! One of my favourite things about this film is the soundtrack - when Red finds the long rock wall, you can hear a harmonica playing along with the music :’)
The name of the Stephen King novella is “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption”
It was great to see a young couple's reaction to this timeless classic. My wife and I have seen it as a young couple too (in 1996, during the VHS days!). Joy's eyes are so expressive and Alex balances and complements that very nicely. Look forward to more from you both.
Thank you 🥰🥰
Rita Hayworth is the lady in the flicker show, actress in the fifties.
she was his lucky angel!!
@@MJoy4Fun This was written and directed by the same writer/director of the green mile! The shawshank Redemption is the highest rated movie on Imdb.com. its widely considered to be one of the greatest movies of all-time!
@@isasooner5 to expand on that, both scripts are also adapted from Stephen King stories. Darabont also adapted King’s The Mist.
@@CraigKostelecky yeah, I meant to say that, lol
the $35,000 that Hadley got, if adjusted for inflation, would be worth $399,552.94 in 2021
When Andy was talking about Mexico Red mention that they are shitty pipe dreams. That is exactly what Andy used to escape.
Never realized that haha. Golden
And Albert Einstein photo laughing at the warden and prison guards when they noticed Andy escaped.
Play this little known song when Andy Dufresne climbs out of the sewer pipe: ua-cam.com/video/5-fcvnYDEJ0/v-deo.html
The scene where the warden is talking to the kid in the yard about "Would you swear to that before a judge and jury"... The reaction to that tells you a ton about a person's life experience. Some people are all "yay! he's going to help!", while others can see the darkness...
"Stand by Me" is another great Stephen King adaptation from the same set of short stories as this one. Check it out if you haven't seen it already!
Once you mention stand be me you might as well go with Apt Pupil as well. Completing the 3 movies from the Novella
and don't forget Christine, The Shining, and Creep Show - all classics
29:03 Get Busy living or get busy dying. I have always remembered this.
This was filmed in a real prison this is the mansfield Correctional Facility in Mansfield Ohio
Just went there Thursday!
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".
"Because salvation lies within." Such a classic lines.
The Shawshank Redemption has to be the most satisfying movie to watch. It's Emotional as hell, but you’ve got a smile on your face at the end.
And I love that the "opening" in the Bible started at the beginning of the second book of the Bible... Exodus... classic.
Yeah I don't think Andy was really planning to escape. It's just when he was carving his name in the wall a chunk fell out (there was no poster). Then after that he asked Red for the poster. Yeah it's a movie you might have to watch a couple of times to figure out the order of events.
I've seen Shawshank countless times. I wish I was able to forget about it and watch it for the first time again. It's that good.
❤️❤️❤️
@@MJoy4Fun When I am channel-surfing and come across Shawshank, I stop right there and watch it all the way to the end. I always tell people that I may have seen the start of this movie only a few dozen times but have seen the ending a few hundred times!
I often refer to other movies as my “Shawshank,” where I watch them no matter where they are in the cycle. Example: White House Down, Con Air, and Super 8.
@14:09 'sizing someone up' is another way of saying he wanted to learn more about Andy to see if he (the warden) could benefit personally from Andy. its an old figure of speech
"I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams."
"I hope."
Red: "That's five football fields... Just shy of half a mile..."
*: "Ahhh yessss I LIKE THIS"*
It always feels good to see a great movie with great reactioners.💑
Thank you ...🖖🏾
Morgan Freemans sons are in this film.
One is Reds mug shot photo and the other is the one "Fishing" in the crowd.
ohh really??
I thought it was the same son for both, but I could be wrong on that.
@@CraigKostelecky I don't see how that would work.
"Were reelin' em in!"
Yes! The closed captions were thorough.
Here is a thought or idea most don't realize. We find out in the movie that "Shawshank" is the name of the prison. The name of the movie is "The Shawshank Redemption". The "Redemption" was referring to Red. Red was redeemed in this movie. (Andy was on his path from the start) This was the story of Red's life.
She is smart. I loved the accent of both of them
So happy you watched this, it was the same director as The Green Mile, two of the best prison movies ever & amazing Stephen Kings adaptations.
Could you not pick up that they’ve both seen this before?
"Something living... busy, busy living than... busy living than dying...."
"Mehhhhhhhh...."
I charm my woman the same way.
And he opened it up on the book Exodus! Genius!
Byron Headley's actor, Clancy Brown, is the voice actor of Mr. Krabs. Let that sink in hahahaha.
MJoy4Fun: Actually - the novella* "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption,"** which 'The Shawshank Redemption' is based on, explained that part about the wall in "Andy's" cell being weak a bit better. But - the movie had to streamline it so as to not bog down the plot of the movie with long explainations.
In the novella "Red" talks about the concrete being weak in the prison, and that crews often had to patch the walls. Also that drainage was not that good and dankness ( wetness ) added to the problem. So that when "Andy" realized that there was weakness in the cell wall ( the chunk that falls out - shown in the movie ) he decides to try to take advantage of it.
Hence the need for a poster to cover it up.
Famed actress Rita Hayworth was a popular movie star, and pin-up poster girl, of that era. The part of the movie the prisoners are shown watching ( when "Andy" asks "Red" to get him a Rita Hayworth poster ) is from 'Gilda' ( 1946, ) starring Hayworth, Glenn Ford, and George Macready.
*novella = story longer than a short story, but shorter than a novel.
**by famed, ( mainly horror fiction, ) writer Stephen King, from his 1982 book of four ( 4 ) novellas "Different Seasons" ( published by Viking Press. )
Exactly right about the wall. Once he realized how weak the wall was he then thought of escape, I think.
It's adorable how you refer to each other as bah and mah...♥️
Andy was lucky that he not only had a cell at the end of the block, but that they didn't move him to a different cell in those 19 years.
Ys cus he was helping them
The warden said we can make an exception
@@todd_vincy4710 ah ok I havent seen the whole FILM in yrs, THAT would be my big question as to why ANDY had the same cell for 19 yrs
This scene was in the script, but was not there in the movie. This is so beautiful. I wish it was in the movie:
194 INT -- VISITOR'S ROOM -- DAY (1966) 194
Tommy makes his way through the chaos, finds Beth and the baby
waiting behind the thick plexi shield. He sits, doesn't pick
up the phone. Just stares at Beth. She doesn't know what to
make of it.
He presses a piece of paper against the glass. A high school
diploma. Her face lights up, blinking back tears.
the best movie ever, I've rewatched it soo much and never got bored. Andy and Red's friendship development was the best aspect of this beautiful movie
I agree completely. Erin Brockavich is another movie I can watch whenever I come across it. Something about great writing and a hero's journey..
Recently found your channel and just wanted to say how much I enjoy your reactions. You both really pay attention to even the little things and I appreciate that. This movie is an absolute masterpiece.
Prison is a strange place its a world all unto itself but it makes you understand what is really important
Great reaction, i really enjoyed watching you guys watching it, i even forgot i was alone for a while... thank you! 👍
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
Your reactions bring such joy to this old man. Your comments also bring new perspectives, insights to stories and characters that I have watched many times over the years. And decades of my life. One of my favorites is your reactions to the the Classic, "Casablanca". Stay well and keep on reacting.
One of the absolute best films ever made.
The Warden was actually not only earning money from using prisoners as labour, but also by purposefully doing jobs other contractors wanted for less, which then led to those contractors paying the Warden off under the table to NOT take certain jobs as well so that their businesses wouldn't go bankrupt. It was incredibly corrupt.
Excellent choice 😊
Next…Forrest Gump please 🍿
I always cry at that last scene. Am I the only one?
Notice when the warden opens the bible to reveal the where Andy hid the rock hammer it opens to Exodus? Nice touch there!
👍👍
Red was convinced of murder. When he was young, he was married. He decided to kill his wife for the insurance money, by cutting the brake lines in her car She drove off - but she wasn't alone. She had invited a friend and the friend's 2 kids along. They all died.
The 'Redemption' is Red's.
*convicted
Is that the explanation in the book? If so, I think the movie is different. When Red meets with the parole board, he says that he wishes he could talk to his younger self and tell him “the way things are”. It’s vague but considering the time period, the motive may have something to do with discrimination.
@@Joe-tm2qp Why are you making stuff up about a story about a man who admits that he is actually guilty of murder? You are projecting your own drama, into a story that clearly does NOT agree with you.
@@starwish2467 what the hell are you talking about. I never said he wasn’t guilty of murder. I simply asked if your description is from the book because I didn’t read it. This is never discussed in the movie and I always wondered what his motive was for killing.
@@Joe-tm2qp Where do you think I got the background from? You think I just made it up ?
Actually, there was some proven discrimination, though. But it was against Andy, by the judge and jury, because Andy is an Introvert, and reserved.
Red accepted his punishment as justified. Think about a black man murdering multiple people, in the late 1920's (when Red was sentenced). The fact that he DIDN'T get the death penalty in surprising, and shows that he was dealt a just verdict - and not discriminated against.
Amazing reaction!! Love your accents, Have you seen fight club? Great psychological drama!
thank youuuu!!! we haven't seen it yet! we might watch too
@@MJoy4Fun Please do! It's my all time favorite. I'm a massive fan.
I really enjoyed your reaction. It must be crazy working with UA-cam algorithms. I’ve searched these movies before, and never found you. But because I watch every Band of Brothers video out there, you popped up. Finally. Best of luck with your channel.
Thank you for watching ❤️😊
This one was a treasure.
I really like watching you two because your learning western culture so many things are a surprise for you.
Your reactions are innocent and wonderful.
I can't believe this is my first time watching this reaction. How did it tke me a year to notice that I hadn't watched it yet?
Fantastic!!!!! Thank you😀😀😀
Another great reaction guys. Great choice. Good Will Hunting (1997), would recommend if you looking for a heartfelt drama.
This is one of favorite movies 🎬! Great reaction 😆!
I swear. You guys are the best. I always look forward to seeing all your new reactions. Peace and love to you.
This movie is such a classic. Thanks for your reaction, guys. I really enjoyed it. 🙂
Joy is very astute. She spots everything that is coming.
Enjoyed watching this reaction.
Fun fact...the tall gaurd Captain Byron Hadley is played by Clancy Brown. He does the voice of Mr.Krabs on SpongeBob SquarePants.
Great reactions and summary! You both watched two prison movies.....one more.....Cool Hand Luke filmed in 1967. Will be looking for your reaction!!!
Thank you and thank you for the suggestion 👍👍👍❤️
A joy of a movie, can move anyone to tears, one of the best movies ever 😭
❤️❤️
You guys are so enjoyable to watch. Great reaction!
Great movie. Tim Robbines is an awesome actor. You should watch movie of him like Mystic Reaver, Arlington Road, The Hudsucker Proxy, Also you should also do Forest Gump and complete three great drama movies after Green Mile and Shawshank redemption. You should also see The Count of Monti Cristo (Like mentioned in the movie) 2002 a great drama adventure movie.
Robbins also played a pretty bizarre but awesome character in War of the Worlds (2005).
When Red tells Andy hope is "shitty pipe dreams", it foreshadows Andy escaping through a shitty pipe.
Odd how almost all the best King adaptations are not really horror films in the traditional sense. Like this one. Stand by Me. The Green Mile. I would give all of them my highest rating. If I didn't know before I watched them they adapted from King's works I never would have guessed. Maybe this King guy not such a bad guy. Except that he is a liberal. There's no excuse for that any more.
This book and stand by me are both short stories from the same actual book If you get a chance I strongly recommend reading the book it does differ in several ways and is an interesting short read that you could read you could read within an hour even for slow readers
Couple days later they find Jake dead as well It is the bird and everyone knows that the bird is the word
Play this little known song when Andy Dufresne climbs out of the sewer pipe: ua-cam.com/video/5-fcvnYDEJ0/v-deo.html
The name of the novella by Stephen King is Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.
The escape plan began when he ordered the first poster.
💯💯💯
I watch all of your reactions and enjoy them very much. Joy you are a very sharp ,,,,a smart cookie.
Loved the reaction ❤️ you guys are great.
I recently hired Morgan Freeman to read me bedtime stories, ahh so nice 😊 but it’s hard to fall asleep because he just makes everything so interesting.
And he’s usually still there, in the corner of the room when I wake up. It gets creepy
He is the best narrator ❤️👍
I love this couple.
🥰🥰
One of the all time greats. Cinematic masterpiece.
You two are one of my favorite couple reactors. Thank you.
watching this movie 2nd time will give gossebumps throughout the film
Hiding his hammer in the bible, which the warden had in his hands when tossing Andy's cell...first page cut? Beginning of Exodus :-)
I have a couple of 1980s movie recommendations for you.
The Gods Must Be Crazy (1980)
The Gods Must Be Crazy 2 (1989)
They are little-known comedies, probably because they are not from Hollywood (they were made by a South African director, and the cast was from there too).
I would love to see your reaction to these movies. Even though they are comedies, they have a powerful underlying message. And also, it is one of those rare cases where the sequel is better than the original.
Thank you for the suggestions 😊👍
Greatest movie of all time! Can’t change my mind 🤷🏼
👍👍
The devil always disguises himself as an Angel of light.
Good reaction, you guy's called it, most of the time...nice one...
Thank you 😊
Lest we forget the genius of Stephen King.. the greatest of all time
💯💯💯💯
One of the greatest movies ever made.
Stephen King's best book-to-film adaptation EVER!
Stand By Me ?
Along with The Green Mile
@@tempsitch5632 The Shining? The Green Mile? Try read the Running Man, crap film but amazing book. King was writing under his alias, Richard Bachman.
@@RHC2024 I think The Green Mile is pathetic.
@@tempsitch5632 It's the best King adaptation in my eyes.
More Tim Robbins movies to explore: Bull Durham, Mystic River, Jacob’s Ladder. Another Prison movie with Morgan Freeman (his first major movie, has a bit part) is Brubaker with Robert Redford.
This is how the prison system works in the US, but there's no happy ending. It's essentially using prisoners as corporate slave labor (some of those prisoners belong there obviously, but many do not).
A lot of people are really surprised that this story was the work of Stephen King. He doesn't only write horror!!!
This is my favorite movie. You probably know it was based on a Stephen King short story. Thank you for reacting to it.
After Pandora opened her box and all the nasty and destructive things were released, Hope was left in the bottom corner. Hope is can be a life saver, but it can also be as destructive as despair.
Great reaction! Stephen King is one of the great storytellers of our time, and this is a great movie based on his book. He has a few more movies you might like, including Stand By Me, and Misery. Would love to see your reactions to those as well!
and don't forget Pet Semetary and The Shining.
Hey, I sure like watching movies with you guys 👍👍👍😁
I am glad you guys ended up removing the water mark in your later reactions, it was distracting in this, but great reaction.
First thing I do, as a naw subscriber, is push the like button since I know I’ll enjoy ya’ll 💯
Thank you ❤️❤️
Love you for uploading your experience! Beautiful, young people you are. Tell me that is not the most amazing story telling ever? The acting? Morgan Freeman? Every second is either brilliant of "just story telling" depending on whether you watch the first time or understand what is going on the second or more times. It's brilliant writing at the very highest of brilliance, imo. Thank you, amazing next generation, for even considering this story. Always love you - from the older generation before you..
❤️❤️❤️
Oh, and cool shirt Marian.
Haha thanks 👍😊
I love this movie and have seen it over 20 times in my life...the one thing that is still a mystery to me and still have a hard time trying to understand it...and that is when Andy escaped through the hole in the wall....who or how did he put the poster back to cover the whole?....if anyone knows please let me know.
Love all your reactions. And you guys are refreshingly intelligent.
Thank you so much! and thank you for subscribing!
@@MJoy4Fun My pleasure!
You guys are the best. San Francisco USA
Awesome reaction 👍👍👍👍
Yes !!!
