Read a critic on this movie once that I agree with. The "redemption" isn't Andy's. Its Red's. At the beginning he had no hope. Hope is a dangerous thing he said; til his final words. " I hope the pacific is as blue as in my dreams. I hope" Brilliant film making.
And it's the man who was falsy accused of a crime and spent 20+ years in hell being raped beaten and used . An innocent man is "redemption". That's one woke critic for those times
The relationship between Andy and Red was the best part of the movie. They were honest with each other, had each other's backs, were supportive of each other, and were friends until the end. Powerful. I cry every time, and always think, "That is a true friend."
@@christianlangfield9303 I had a friend like that, he passed away back in 2007 & there is not a day that goes by without thinking about him. Friends like this are like gold dust. All the best.
I used to believe that I had a friend . Some years ago she showed who she really was . When she not only let me to my luck , but she was trying to “ excuse “ herself . I walked away and never talked to her again .Since then I don’t have “ friends “ I don’t believe In such thing . It doesn’t exist .
Christian Langfield I have a good friend for the past 64 years. We have not lived the lives and had the difficulties and adventures of these two but we have always been in each others lives. She was put next to me at the first day of school and we have been friends ever since. Just don’t expect too much of the other person. Just be there.
Yeah...except the morons that time refused it. This movie was a flop back in 1994. The Hungarian national TV broadcast it then in 1996, that's how I watched it. It means it was a trash movie. So fuck people. Really.
There are truly great stories like this now also but morons in film industry now only go for romantic , superhero bullshit now. How sad. Today this movie would never be made bcoz of those bozos.
Would have like to seen a second movie based on them 2 and their boat where did go. Were they successful . Did inspire anyone else to escape or try. Could have been a Good movie too.
The imagery and music when Red sits at the stone fence under the tree, and then walks through the field, reminds me of a hot Summer day in Wisconsin. The same goes for when Red is riding on the bus with his elbow out the window. His dialogue is so great. I get emotional during this movie.
This movie holds a special place in my life. It has always been my favourite, but it took on added significance around nine years ago. At that time, I was diagnosed with rare and incurable blood cancer, and I happened to watch this movie again the same week. The line, "I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really Get busy living, or get busy dying." sums up my philosophy. I'm still busy living after all these years, and will never give up. Thank you for posting this video.
I like to think this is what happens when we die. That there is a reunion a resolution and a feeling to belonging, arriving home. This movie is quite a masterpiece

That was such a great movie. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were fantastic 😊. It was great that Andy made off with a lot of the Warden's money. Probably one of the greatest movies of all times. Thanks 😊.
This is a great film but the sad part is that there are still people that spend time behind bars for stuff they didn't do it's a Theme that never seems to die in this Corrupt System we still live in!
Morgan freemans narration...Thomas newmans soundtrack ...Stephen kings story. ..amazing producer and director all add to this magical mix to make the greatest film ever
Andy taught red about hope which is all some people have in thos world. I love this movie & cry everytime. The greater quotes too. The one red says about andy being a bird that's feathers are too bright ...& I guess I just miss my friend is my all time favorite quote. This movie is too good. I love the godfather but this one is a very close second.
@@talltree3941 Hi! Yes, I do like Tom Hanks movies, and the irony is that, for Shawshank Redemption, Tom Hanks was supposed to play the role of Andy Dufresne, but could not because he had already committed to playing Forrest Gump 😊
@@marcdamour2946 it’s one of the first Tom Hanks’s movies. Back then his genre was comedy. I watched the movie long time ago. I thought the movie was hilarious and that Tom Hanks was great on it 🙂
A place with no memory is a place to live where people are loving of their neighbor and never look back on their past. A place where they only focus on the present so they may help with his future. A place on a beach where a man that sees himself as a broken old boat can fix himself up without judgements or black marks that only hinder true rehabilitation and forgiveness.
Dec. 24, 2018----No, little towns in America are not just a dream. Used to drive truck and for awhile, thru every state but Maine & Minnesota. Grandpa & Dad moved from New York state to Golconda, Illinois when Dad was a small kid and he's 92 this year. Was traveling thru Illinois when I realized I would be 20 miles or so from the interstate highway to Golconda....without hesitation, I went for it. Down a 2 lane state road and over 2 bridges marked narrow bridge and they were too.NO idea what I was going to find or even how to get back onto the interstate after (hopefully) getting to Golconda. Found a big open spot in front of the city courthouse where I parked 70 feet of truck and trailer. When I got out of the truck, a policeman was cruising by, so I waved out of habit and he waved back. Took a bunch of photos with me in some of them. When I emailed them to Dad, he couldn't believe it as he hadn't been home in at least 10 years. And of course, he wondered how the hell did I ever get out of town. All I had to do was make a couple of lefts in front of the city courthouse and back down that 2 lane state road and back on the interstate.The same day after leaving Golconda, able to stop in Metropolis, Illinois the home of Superman where I got more photos. Been to Tupelo, Mississippi the birth place of Elvis where I visited a massive car museum which sadly is now being sold. Bottom line: small towns still exist in America though the media would have you believe other wise.
Hope is good thing, may be the best of things and no good thing ever dies. It is a decent and literary movie which teaches a person not to leave hope in case of problems whatever he has. I dedicate this to my dear friend Majid to be hopeful for his good career, from Pakistan.
A beautiful scene from a beautiful movie. The story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," on which this classic was based, is also quite good. Check it out if you have the chance.
Agreed the 90’s was a great comeback for Hollywood after the cheesy 1980’s, but in my opinion no decade for film making was as bold and brilliant as the 1970’s. Any decade that produced “Apocalypse Now”, “The Godfather” “The DeerHunter” and “One Flew Over the cuckoo’s nest” oh yeah and “Taxi Driver” is untouchable.
What a brilliant team of very gifted people! Holliwood ought to produce more movies like this. But its clear you cant have a masterpiece produced on a daily babsis. They still have a good score anyway. Although the last good movie I saw was probably the American beauty. But I am sure there've been more. I haven't seen them all

"Hope is a good thing- maybe the best of things... And no good thing ever dies."
- Andy Dufresne
It’s literally true. The good things we do, we bring to the afterlife, which is infinite. It never dies.
Such a satisfying end. Hope everyone in life gets a second chance like andy and red
When that music comes up at 1:45, that is a goosebump moment.

sheer genius, the background music, the narration, everything...
The ending of this movie made me tear up. No judgment. This is how good The Shawshank Redemption is!!
If this movie was made today, Trumpy Bear cult members would have shot Red dead in the field.

With out a doubt the greatest movie of all time
I agree!
The great film about friendship, characters, iniquity, commitment!
I watch this film when I need some piece of nudge in my life!
this movie should have recieved at least 7 oscars. It was very inspirational and at same time decent .
Naah... the Oscars don't deserve this mastapiece.
I could not agree with you more
I always sob at the moment they meet at the ending beautiful xx
One of my all-time favorites. ❤️
This film was a work of beautiful art
The smiles for each other at the end. Beautiful
He just let wind takes the hat away. Great writing or acting, I don't know, but that little detail makes their friendship so much more convincing.
Amazing that this film didn’t do that well in cinemas but became a classic on video and TV...
