Count of Monte Cristo is about a man that is falsely imprisoned at a young age, meets a wise man in prison, manages to escape with a thorough plan, assumes a new identity outside, gets rich and gets his revenge. Subtle foreshadowing.
his best friend framed him for a murder because he wanted his girlfriend but after 17 years the guy helped him break out and he got revenge on the guy then
I'm digressing, but I like Morgan Freeman's genuine laugh much more than Cleavon Little's laugh in Blazing Saddles when Gene Wilder says: "You know... morons!"
@@ahmedurillah2720 I think I read a critic which said he always looks like he is hiding something, but we don't know what. The kind of guy that has something up his sleeve, like a secret plan no one else knows about... :D
@@Xarfax321 especially the part where that guard calls him and he looks all paranoid until he tells Andy he needs help with his his kids college education
When Heywood hands Andy the Treasure Island book, there's an almost childlike quality his face and the way he does it, like the reverence for Andy's intelligence has put Andy in a role of leader/teacher and Heywood is back to being a kid in school. Another dimension to the good directing/acting in this movie.
The change in Heywood's perception of Andy is one of the best parts of the film. Where he was originally antagonistic towards and dismissive of Andy, Heywood gradually comes to respect him.
William Sadler playing Heywood, is a great actor. I first saw him on an episode of Roseanne then on the Green Mile. IRL, he has a Master of Fine Arts degree.
"It's Cristo you dumbshit" He said that so fast 😆 You gotta remember too, they all became friends, at the beginning they were all betting on whether Andy would crack on his first day in prison. The beer moment definitely helped win them over but I always loved how Andy became part of the group and how these guys all bonded together. There's safety in numbers and that's especially true in prison, even better when your group all actually like each other so you know they have your back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great honor that I present to you His Grace, the Count of Monte Crisco." "Damn it Jacopo! It's Cristo! Say it right, or else I'll come down from this air balloon and finish the job I started the day we met . . ."

You'd like it, its about a prison break. Maybe we outta file that under education to, ought we? I'd laugh so hard at this line just at the context of it. Prisoners reading a book about a prison break at a prison library
How about a poem about a prison break written by a prisoner, in real life a big snow was coming, and in the poem he climbs a snow bank that goes up to the top of fence in the yard. I know the author.
Fun fact: During the scene where Brooks describes to the other inmates Andy's first meeting with a guard to set up a savings plan to pay for college education for a guard's children, Brooks was originally supposed to have described the encounter while using a string of profanity. James Whitmore suggested to Frank Darabont to remove the profanities, citing how Brooks, who arrived at Shawshank in 1905, would not have spoken in such a taboo manner on the outside world. Darabont agreed and removed the profanities from the scene.
Red had multiple books. The thinner one he held further away was the soap carving one and the thicker ones in his other hand were the auto repair books.
Absolutely loved The Count of Monte Cristo, read it in high school. Will be leaving for Barnes and Noble in a moment to buy it for my grandson for Christmas 2020. Also, had the opportunity to visit Alexandre Dumas' grave site in Paris at the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Many luminaries buried there including Chopin, Delacroix, Hugo, Piaf, Jim Morrison and many others.
Between the way these actors play off each other and Morgan Freeman’s laughter, if you told me this scene was completely improvised i would believe it 😂
The prisoners built that library in memory of Brooks. It meant a lot to them. So I got really angry when Norton threatened Andy to destroy it. I hope Norton's successor was a good person who showed respect to the library.
Heywood: The Count of Monte Crisco... Floyd: That's "Cristo" you dumb shit. Heywood: ...by Alexandree Dumb-ass. Dumb-ass. Andy Dufresne: Dumb-ass? "Dumas". You know what it's about? You'll like it, it's about a prison break. Red: We oughta file that under "Educational" too, oughten we?
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are acting powerhouses, and are at the top of their game here... but William Sadler still manages to steal a few scenes from them.

Well, if the words were unfamiliar to him he wouldn't have known how to pronounce them. But his pronunciation was pretty funny-and Morgan Freeman has a great laugh! The smartest and least embarrassing thing to do would be to ask how an unfamiliar word should be pronounced. He kinda set himself up to be laughed at although I felt a little bad for him. He was trying!
I have witnessed non Irish people try to pronounce Irish names and place names and I have had people laugh at me when I mispronounce names in a foreign language!
@@craithteemeghan5311 I have seen and heard many people who have missed pronounce people's last name many times and they got laughed at. I wouldn't laugh at you however. Thanks 👍.
There's a remote coincidence in Shawshank with "2001 A Space Odyssey". Here, one prisoner is named Heywood, another is named Floyd, and the moon mission astronaut in "2001" is named Heywood Floyd. Or maybe the naming was intentional?

I swear I watched this movie a dozen times and never once saw that
V’s favorite movie
Saw the 2002 film adaptation of Count of Monte Cristo. I love that movie, but not as much as this one.
his best friend framed him for a murder because he wanted his girlfriend but after 17 years the guy helped him break out and he got revenge on the guy then
or just a basic emotion heavy plot 😁
“Its Cristo you dumb shit” Was so natural I laughed my ass off
Insulting him *without* insulting him.
How you talked to real friends growing up.
Morgan Freeman's laughter is so organic in this scene. One of my favorite actors.
It was probably a blooper. Just him reacting to Agent Sloan 😁 and the way he pronounced the name.
That's not how morgan freeman laugh in movies. Got to be authentic.
I'm digressing, but I like Morgan Freeman's genuine laugh much more than Cleavon Little's laugh in Blazing Saddles when Gene Wilder says: "You know... morons!"
It's contageous
"You'll like it, its about a prison break."
Look close....he is almost fighting a smile the whole time.
no he's not fighting. he's doing this gestures every time in the movie. it's like smile but don't want to seems like it's smile. :)))))

It is a little tinge of sarcasm. Built into the character. Probably took them a few takes to get it right.
That laugh has to be unscripted.

nice! I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, what a good eye you have there :0
Was Brooks gone by then or still? The warden was letting Andy do this?

Despite being in with acting powerhouses like Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, William Sadler managed to steal a few scenes.
Red's laughter is the best :D
The way he raises his eyebrows while saying it for the second time, as if he were thinking "indeed Dumass says here" hahahaha
I get the feeling the actors, particularly Morgan, are laughing spontaneously in this scene. It seems pretty natural and unplanned :)
It was
That makes it all the more lovely 😅
It definitely felt that way to me too.
It has two separate shots of him laughing. He’s not even in the frame when Haywood is reading those. Definitely planned.
0:26 I love that although he reads it wrong, his face is so confident

Auto repair and soap carving is a weird combination for a book.

"Ought to file that under educational too." Morgan was ultimate here.
This movie is a classic among classics. I only have this opinion based on; when I see clips of this movie, I want to rewatch it.
Who doesn't like Treasure Island? Re-read it as an adult, great story.
me 2. I've watched it > 10 times and still can't hold from laughing here.
lol
This is one of my all time top three favorite movies.
brilliant script and performance
This is one of my favorite scenes. Couldn't stop laughing when I first saw this 😂
"Maybe we should file that under education too". Perfect!
Aaah shiiiit. I could watch this a million times, a million times I die 😂😂😂.
Morgan Freeman's laugh is so contagious!

The prisoners built that library in memory of Brooks. It meant a lot to them. So I got really angry when Norton threatened Andy to destroy it.
I hope Norton's successor was a good person who showed respect to the library.
“We outta file that under education, to!”
I figure Andy liked Count Monte Cristo
Red Forman's favourite author.
I gotcha
Andy is such a good man.
that laugh is genuine.
Haywood was in Die Hard 2 as a main villain. He was colonel Stuart in it. He was also in Eagle Eye father of hero.
That last line tho with the sudden cut makes it even funnier
I quote this scene all the time.
My favourite book, love sweet revenge.
just reading The Count of Monte Cristo! Excellent book so far, many similarities with Shawshank Redepmtion! You should read it too, you'll like it!
Heywood: The Count of Monte Crisco...
Floyd: That's "Cristo" you dumb shit.

Count of Monte Crisco...
that’s “Cristo” you dumb shit

I think physical think center point street fight ...at cricket schedules.
FORESHADOWING
The gift that is William Sadler.
Andy Dufresne, Alexander Dumas. Same initials. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Watching this scene it makes you forget that he played the evil Inspector Sloan in Deep Space Nine.
Passive aggressive and smug attitude from Andy here. “You know what’s that about?”
I think Andy knew that question to be rhetorical.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wonder what Heywood did to wind up in there for as long and Red, Brooks and Andy?

Nothing. Everyone there was innocent...

Prison break ?
And revenge for the people that falsely accused him
