The Shawshank Redemption - Rehabilitation

- Not a day goes by I don't feel regret, and not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on myself the way I was...stupid kid who did that terrible crime...wish I could talk sense to him. Tell him how things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, this old man is all that's left, and I have to live with that. Rehabilitated? That's a bullshit word, so you just go on ahead and stamp that form there, sonny, and stop wasting my damn time. Truth is, I don't give a shit.
It's funny if you think about it. He asks the man to "stop wasting his time". And that's exactly what he finally does, by giving him his approval.
It’s interesting how words are often structured in such ways for films. Certainly for how brilliant Morgan’s delivery of dialogue has always been.
The judge dumb and dunce, maybe?
@@mikebasil4832 Another good example in this movie is when Red tells Andy that hope is a bad thing and equates it to a shit pipe dream. Then Andy literally finds his dream via a shit pipe.
@@rvanleersum I never thought about that, that's amazing writing
@@rvanleersum Damn. 🤯
It looks like Morgan is truly a Freeman.
Rorschach nailed it
Precisely, my good sir!
I don't like this
If he was a Gordon Freeman he'd be moving around underground tunnels in the desert.
Dad joke at its finest
"That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left, I got to live with that'
Indeed.
Goosebumps 🥶 💪
Reminds me of the mistakes I've made
I couldn't agree more.
Poetry.
this is how i feel at job interviews
So you must feel confident and get good results
You get job interviews? You must be pretty good...
This is how i feel at yearly reviews!
I need to do this at my next job interview...I might just get the job🤷♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the most well written scenes in film history, in my opinion.
Nannerpuss I bet they didn’t even give him a script
@TM Films He is a bootlicker
Nannerpuss
The fuck is that profile pic
Opinion? That's a fact
Best Stephen King movie in my opinion
That is what earned him his freedom. Unlike the other hearigs, here although offensive, he is being genuine and honest, acknowledges and regrets his crime, and the fact that he cannot undo it. In real life, they would have released him because of his old age, as in "he is too old to kill another person, let him retire outside, there is no room for him here."
just because you're old doesn't mean you can't kill anyone. it is a powerful scene indeed.
this scene is real life. he is released because of his age, not because of what he said and thought.
It didn't matter what he said. They made the decision before he entered the room.
@@evilbyNot entirely true! There are many elderly people in prison because they either killed many people, or continued to hurt people and be violent on the inside.
Except for Brooks of course. It was a death sentence for him because he couldn’t handle freedom. This scene makes one question whether it is always just to keep a person locked up in jail for life.
Clearly there is an important question here and it’s answer isn’t a simple yes or no. That’s why I said in another post that it’s scenes like this which make you think a bit Red is as guilty as sin for murder and after 40 years incarceration has come to realise what a terrible price he has had to pay for being that silly stupid kid he once was.
Red has finally come to the end of his tether with regard to his punishment and whether he is rehabilitated. He no longer feels he needs to keep apologising for a crime committed by a person no longer in the room. That’s the strength of this scene beautifully acted by Morgan Freeman.
When a prisoner likes the prison, the prison must get rid of him/her.
Why don’t they make money from inmates
@@johnspidell2853 In the US they do, which is why there's a huge problem with prisons in the US.
I had this attitude when I was 3 years into my military service. It wasn't fun. I wasn't great at my job. I wanted to quit, but I couldn't because a dishonorable discharge would haunt me for life. Once I hit this level of despair, everything became easier. I got that honorable discharge and finished my 4 years without a gap. It's not just a great movie scene, it's a portal into a broken yet determined man's mind.
If you don't mind the question from a plump civie who's probably, by virtue or vice of his inexperience, incapable of truly understanding your sacrifices and stresses...might I ask your branch, specialty, your reason for joining, and if you'd do it again?
I once sought to join the Marines, and am now, in three years time, prepping for the Legion but, I don't know like you do and always enjoy feedback by vets that waded through the shit, the bureaucracy, the turmoil, and the internalizations.
@@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq. 1)Marine Corps
2) Artillery observer
3) Joined because I got no bitches, knew nothing about how important money and happiness were as an adult, was mentally ill, and watched too many movies where the hero died at the end. Basically suicidal but I wanted to die for an honorable cause.
4) I don’t think I would do it again, which is why I am a veteran versus still enlisted.
@JC
Your candor is appreciated and, funnily enough, that's why I am preparing to join the Legion: they have no bitches. The prostitute in uniform that called herself a staff sergeant at the recruiting post where I initially joined the DEP was the biggest reason I never went to boot.
Nevertheless, I thank you for your service, Marine, and as problems arise, it is my prayer that the VA doesn't f*ck you over. You and your brothers deserve better and it's a damn shame the military cares more about recruiting skirts, maggots with a capital "F", and trannies for diversity's sake than retaining good men like yourself.
I hope civilian life works out for you.
@@ProTroll69 wow I am literally at the position you were back then. I know you can't get to me, and our lives are probably different.
But if you could go back and ask a younger version of yourself, what would you say?
@@ProTroll69 I'm pretty much the opposite. Didn't join as a young man. Mostly because I thought I was smart and I'd find a shortcut. I'd rather drink and party all the time and piss everything away. I had no guidance or direction.
When reality caught up with me, I found myself in a deep metaphorical hole. I had no skills, no experience, and no confidence. Nobody is willing to stick their neck out to give someone like that a chance to prove themselves.
If joining the military wouldn't have given me anything else, I feel like I'd have left with the knowledge that none of the bullshit matters. I spent so much time focusing on shit that didn't matter and wouldn't get me a damn thing. No happiness, no money, no respect, no fulfillment. I feel like being forced to put up with uncle Sam's garbage would have helped me learn this faster than I did as a civ. Then again, I might just be dead. Just my 2 cents.
Watch Freeman's eyes from 1:00-1:04. The subtle way he looks up and down at the man, like he's examining his suit and tie, is one of those tiny details that separates a good actor from an award-winning one.
"To me it's just a made-up word; a politicians word so that...young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie and...have a job."
Why? This is a very normal thing to do since he is talking about the suit and tie. What makes him good is the way he acts without talking.
I like it when the man starts to tell him the definition but Red cuts him off by saying the word has lost its meaning and is pretty much useless to him after 40 years.
That line makes no sense
U did the crime do the time
@@4nanymous4812 Then just throw away the key and stop wasting his time. It's the suit that needs a job. The suits always get even, he released him to be a bagger at a grocery store. Released from one prison to only serve time in another.
@bthamus8334 so you're ok with criminals is what your saying
Glad you're defending murderers and pedos
that's what I want to say, when I get a job interview for the umpteenth time. after so many interview and no result.
i literally just got done posting that same thing on Facebook.
Get better at your craft. A man who is refused for his work more than once is no man at all.
@@GeoffreyBronson one problem with that logic: it doesn't exist in the real world. 20 years ago? sure. now? you need experience, a degree, some places for minimum wage entry level position? 4 year college degree and 3 years of experience.
career? its been a bullshit term for a decade now. real money is in entrepenuralships now. get a few odd jobs going, and make 900 dollars and you can be a dropshipper making buttloads of cash.
@@GeoffreyBronson you're full of shit.
If you're reading this and is struggling with interviews, just stop caring. I've been through it, took me 3 years and more than 50 interviews to get to my first job, and what did I get? Something I was terrible over qualified for because I stopped caring, nonetheless it was my very first step.
Take interviews less seriously, turn it into a pleasant talk about you, start low If you need to, but just stop caring and dont lose hope.
More like talking to a pretty girl. Tryimg to get a gf
One thing I love about this scene is that Red is just tired of being sent to the judges so they can stamp whether he is fine to be released or whether they revoke his parole. In the beginning, you can see him being all optimistic about getting paroled but then it seems to just make him angrier and angrier that they keep revoking his parole until he utters "I just don't give a shit"
How about this? Red started depending on the walls more and more. Before, the thought of the outside world still appealed to him. By this time, he had grown to depend on them
Yeah that was the whole point of the scene?
They weren’t revoking his parole they were denying it.
You missed the point ?????
The entire point throughout the movie is he doesn’t want parole... he intentionally screws up his parole hearings
This was his attempt to get parole. He did care. He was trying in earnest
@@bobdole7292 Someone trying in earnest doesn't say "I don't give a shit." They don't call the guy on the board "sonny". OP has the right of it. When he finally stopped trying to say what he thought they wanted to hear, and just spoke from the heart, he finally gets his parole despite not even trying to get it.
I love you can just feel the "tired" in Red in this scene. Not of this process, but of so many things.
It's why you're so worried about him repeating what Brooks did when does get out.
That and the fact his first thought when Andy doesn't come out of the cell is that he's hung himself and given up, not that he's sticking one to the system.
one of the best movies i have ever seen, i saw it in cinema when i was 17 and i still love at age 42
"they send you here for life and that's exactly what they take"
"The past that counts anyway."
That intake photo, is Morgan Freeman's son.
Another fact...he was actually in the movie too, when Andy enters the jail the inmates who were mocking them as saying fresh fish, u can see him gesturing reeling the fish😉
@@PintuSingh-yq4egHis line is "Fresh fish! we're reelin' them in!"
Seriously guys you made my dayy
really? did not know that.
Powerful words Morgan. " That kid is long gone and all that's left is this old man" .
Sad
This scene was EXCELLENTLY written and EXCELLENTLY executed! You can look at his face/eyes and see the emotion!
This scene, and the scene where Morgan Freeman reams out Denzel Washington in Glory, are two of the finest examples of acting in modern cinema history. He is a master.
I love How Red trolled that kid low-key at 0:46. The kid's reply is a textbook answer. He also can't look Red in the eye as he rattles off that pat answer, proving his phoniness.
Moral of the story - Speak your truth
Speak your truth eloquently
What I really like is when they evaluate him, he keeps telling them in the beginning he’s a changed man. The way how they hear it sounds like he’s being desperate to get out. But when he finally realize he doesn’t care anymore, whether he stays or goes. They’re like OK, approve and they let him go. Because it shows that he doesn’t care anymore. He’s willing to let everything go and keep moving forward in life. And you could tell he learned his mistakes. Because you cannot change the past, but you could create a better future for yourself.
Shawshank Redemption is a god tier movie, would recommend
I agree
amen
“…because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit.” How I feel about where I am in my life now at age 46.
This is how I already feel in my 20s
wait till ya 55 it gets even better
Amen.
I am 37 and started to feel like that more and more, and it is very liberating. :)
Lol this is how I feel at 33
Shawshank Redemption should have won best picture over Pulp Fiction. Well, that's my opinion.
Stringfellow Hawk didn’t Forest Gump win it in ‘94
@@conorhughes1 for some reason I thought Pulp Fiction won it. It might have been a different award...something like MTV's movie awards. I liked Forest Gump too, so can't complain about that one winning. Still see Shawshank Redemption more than Forest Gump.
You are right...
Stringfellow Hawk pulp fiction is an incredible film tho
Star Key Little G me too. He’s an asshole to his fans and his fellow workers. He assaulted some fan who was video taping him and just asking some question on in public, A FAN. Fuck Territino and fuck anybody who ever agrees with him. I’ll never watch of of his shit movies. EVER
Legendary speech here... *Applause* LEGENDARY.
fun fact! the picture of the young offender when he stamps the form is freeman's real life son! he is also in the scene when the bring the new recruits by buss and he says "I'm reeling them in"
In previous times he was trying to tell them what he thought they wanted to hear, and they saw through it. Once he feels true regret, and stops giving a damn what they think, they let him go.
He regretted it as far back as the start of the film, he just didn't know how to convey that (with the necessary sincerity) to people with power over him.
I also like the parole hearing scene in raising Arizona with Nicholas Cage. 'You're not just telling us what we want to hear are you son?' 'No sir'. 'Because all we want to hear is the truth'. 'Well then I guess I am telling you what you want to hear'. 'Boy, didn't I just tell you not to do that?' 'Yes sir'. Well alright then'.
🤣🤣🤣
A phenomenal scene performed by a magician of an actor.
Best scene ever made in history of films (for me)
It deserved an Oscar above any other films but later I understood some films are beyond any Oscars .
Namrata Das oscars are always rigged. That’s not news.
It had some serious competition tho. Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction were also up for a bunch of Oscars that year - and those 2 are also all-time greats like Shawshank. And I think the Oscars get a bad rep; unlike the Grammy’s and other hack organizations that solely focus on mass appeal and popularity, the Oscars seem to respect the art form they represent AS art. They often nominate small indie movies (often experimental and beautiful) and every so often those movies seem to sweep house. Just because the collective decision of an organization doesn’t lineup with YOUR OWN personal opinion doesn’t mean it’s terrible..
@@TheMuffinManIsHappy there were great contenders and Forrest and pulp were brilliant too and they received academy but Shawshank on the other hand was nominated in almost all the categories but ended up losing all, that felt a bit upsetting for me personally cause it really deserved to win atleast one category like best adapted screenplay but unfortunately.....
@@Redwoodtree34567 I guess I can understand the disappointment that it basically came away empty handed; however, best adapted screenplay deserved to go to Forrest Gump because Shawshank was a decent book that was turned into a great movie, but Eric Roth somehow turned the absolutely awful Forrest Gump book into one of the most emotionally moving movies ever made.
where great writing and great acting come together to make a scene and a movie that stays with you forever.That is the reason why this movie is on my and many others list as the best movie of all time.
Powerful WORDS in his soul that no can take away!
I was just telling my co-worker that... This is the job interview speech of the 21st century.
You really can hear and feel Red's weariness in this scene
The other times Red was denied parole because he was doing in their eyes a rehearsed spiel about how he was rehabilitated but they saw right through it. Here in this scene however he’s just fed up and tired of dancing on the string and doing the same thing and expecting a different result. He said what was on his mind and basically didn’t care either way about the outcome because in his mind he had nothing to lose because he lost enough. The parole board saw that as him being genuine and that led to his release. In a film filled with great scenes this scene was one of the very best.
Exactly
This might be the best acting Morgan Freeman has ever done, which is honestly saying something.
Not sure if this is intentional or not but;
Red only blinks (initially) when asks if he feels sorry for what he's done, and later when he considers what he would say to a younger version of himself.
Although excessive blinking is sometimes taken as a sign of lying, I think in this case it's a sign of regret.
Fun Fact: The lead board member is played by Brian Brophy, best known as Commander Maddox in the Star Trek: TNG episode, "The Measure of a Man".
Hoooooly shit I never noticed that.
Professor Brian Brophy, no less. Professor in theatre and arts. Smart guy.
He treated Data like...a robot!
Yeah he wanted to make more Datas…great episode
Fun fact: the mugshot photo of young Red is actually Morgan Freeman's son.
some of the best acting I have ever seen
I have used these lines in another form to my manager after he tried to frame me I was not doing my work correctly and tried to get met to leave the company. Let's say he was not amused. PS I still work there and have had many managers since, he is no longer with the firm 😊
This movie gets better the more you watch it....
Still my favorite scene
*FUN FACT:* The mugshot on the parole form is actually Morgan Freeman's son in real life! Also, his son has a brief cameo earlier in the movie when Andy arrives with the new inmates. The black inmate that taunts them "New Fish. Just reelin' them in!" Thats his son! Neat, huh?
"By god if you let me out I will kill again!"
**approved**
I don't think there's a better written, and acted film than Shawshank Redemption
@ElementZero That stupid reply under every comment that's complimenting a movie.
Sure, but he stated his opinion, no need to assume someone havent seen a lot of films
@ElementZero I am relaxed, just having a conversation.

This is one of the most well written scenes in film history. Morgan Freeman, Rehabilitated? Well, now, let me see. You know, I don’t have any idea what that means. I know what you think it means, sonny. To me, it’s just a made up word. A politician’s word, sonny. Young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did? There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here. Because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. A young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him. Tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone and this old man’s all that’s left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? That’s just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because, to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit.
Though obviously not identical to this verbiage, this was my attitude at one job interview after many failed attempts. I had gone to interview after interview giving an exceptional answer to each question. I was optimistic and smiled at the interviewer as if I was happy… After many failed attempts, I finally went into a job interview with “I don’t give a shit anymore” attitude. I smiled only briefly and was short and sweet with them as if they were wasting my time… I was offered the job within a few days. Sometimes the “I don’t give a shit” attitude can make you a more genuine, honest version of yourself.
Wow me too, we're just fed up with trying and failing. I wasn't nervous anymore XD still come back to this video cause of it
After all these years I'm only now realizing that the parole officer is played by the same guy who played Commander Maddox on Star Trek: TNG.
Morgan was 58 in 1995. If we assume his character is the same age, served 40 years, so it would have been in prison since he was 18 yo.
I felt like this when I went for parole, and they denied me. I ended up having to serve out my entire 66 month sentence. If I could go back and change one thing it would be to spit in the face of the parole board
5-1/2 years? Damn that’s brutal. As satisfying as it sounds to do that to those parole board creeps, it’s probably not worth the extra time they might add. But I get the sentiment.
So your pathetic ass was in jail and then you now think the best thing you could have done is spit in their face? Maybe another 66 months is what you need
Lost a job today after spending 15 minutes talking about how I did the job well, because they quote "Wanted to head in a new direction." and afterwards, all I can think about is that perfect reaction of "I just don't give a shit."
This is no doubt the finest scene in this movie and Morgan Freeman nailed it
Fucking wonderful and honest
Judges: "Well, he's now a cynical asshole" [Approved]
And when, after 40 years, he clearly showed them he didn’t give a shit and gave them a piece of his mind,… THEN HE GOT APPROVED.
This is one of the best scenes in the entire movie in my eyes.
I’m now finally old enough to legitimately call people sonny.
Don't know why but this is the most relatable thing I ever saw.. That's how I feel at family gatherings
Take a few seconds to appreciate the awesome camera work in this scene.
"You go in for life and that's exactly what they take." - Ellis Boyd Redding/No. 30265 Shawshank Prison

Yes im rehabilitated although my religion requires 20 human sacrifices per month.
PAROLE GRANTED.
🤨😬
I forget how amazing this movie is. Have to watch this again.
Gotta say, the first time I saw the scene, it was pretty anti-climatic to see the color of the stamp as red instead of green for the APPROVED part. 😂
It always makes me leel..
Some Birds arent meant to shit.
But still, the place you live in is the place you live in.
No shit.
i wonder how many prisoners memorize this for their parole hearing
And then they say "Did you get that from Shawshank Redemption?" - Rejected!
That would be very stupid since its from a very famous movie frequently regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made.
Feels like annual reviews in my doctoral program.
After Red is finished talking, the way that the woman on the left looks at him in sad concern is the only amount of true empathy that someone felt for an inmate ever in the entire film. You'd have to think that after 40 years of loneliness, lack of female companionship, and facing meaningless and dull people in prison that someone kind and sincere in the world outside actually feels sorry for Red, as if there was finally someone who came along to recognize what happened to him. The look that this woman made is just a reminder that even in the most bleak, hopeless, isolated, and restrained times of life, there are people in the world who want you cared for and forgived. We might have to still keep in mind that the crimes that the inmates caused are inexcusable, and they must feel guilty for doing something very wrong, but if they really are sorry as Red is, then you may find some forgiveness for them.
This is Ja Morant😂😅
I was in prison for 11 years. This tactic does not work. Trust me.
Wow. If you don’t mind my asking, for what was it?
@@princessmarlena1359 Probably his lawyer fucked him.
Nor should it. Serve your time punk ass
He's sick of going to that same place and getting the same stupid answer because none of them, Give A F
The book of Romans says that all have sinned and have fallen short of God's glory. In my opinion, the difference between some sinners and others is that some are sorry for what they did.
2:11 "...and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit."
The main thing about the Shawshank Redemption which makes it such a great movie is scenes like this. They make you think.
Right next to the Warden finding out about Andys escape on the subject of best scene in the movie
Wonderful speech
I tried this is in a job interview with HR and it didn't work out very well for me.
The way this scene starts always reminds me of an OG resident evil game
Red probably couldn’t believe that worked for a little while.
He was probably like,
“Wait seriously?”
Thank God for Morgan Freeman.
Morgan Freeman, or (Red), is so cool, and you feel as though that I would like to have him as my friend. All because he is very slick, and a step ahead as Andy found out.
I am not a failure, I'm just unaccomplished.
Probably my personal favorite monologue in the whole movie.
Aww man, rejecting him won't be fun anymore. Let's just go ahead and approve it.
Even though Andy told him to hold on to hope, only when he gave it up was he able to prevail by courage and confidence. Had he been filled with hope, that fear of rejection would've still had life, and he would not have projected the courage or confidence to prevail in the matter.
I never get's tired watching this movie over and over again.
The rolling the eyes in pure exhaustion and lack of hope is priceless
"that kid is long gone and... this old man is all that's left, i gotta live with that"
For some reason this reminds me of the scene from the movie Ted where Ted dares the shopkeeper and he gets hired then says 'ah shit'.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ve always felt this scene is important to what Red was saying about hope.
The first time, he walks in, hopeful that he might get his parole, but he fails.
The second time, he walks in, hopeful that he might get his parole, but he fails.
In prison, you have a lot of thinking time, Red literally has months and years of counting down to his parole hearing, and each time he was hopeful, he just gets hurt.
Which is why he says to Andy, “hope is a dangerous thing, hope can drive a person insane.” Red is speaking from experience.
By this scene, Red has completely given up on hope, the belief he can be freed from prison, that he walks in and says “I don’t give a shit.” He is tired of being hurt.
This is when he is is finally free, literally and metaphorically.
this is like an job hunting the more you persevere the more they reject you but when you show no interest to them that's the time they call you.
This is how I’m starting to sound in job interviews lately 🤣
Red has been approved by the parole hearing in 1967.
Did you know red going to jail cause murder his wife?
& his father in law.
Rehabilitation isn’t a state of mind. It’s a journey that varies for everyone that has an ending so profound, it changes a person
"That kid is all gone, this old man is all that's left"
Absolutely incredible performance
Red.. I am stuck with my life when I see u in screen..
