Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, and Forrest Gump all came out the same year. Any of them could have won best picture, Forrest Gump took home the award. All 3 are phenomenal movies
That is true. When asked about the role he calls himself "the most horrible bastard alive" and also says his favorite moments of the movie are Andy escaping and when his character is arrested 👍🏼
@@RyneMurray23 He received several offers from real life prison guards to help make his performance more convincing, but he turned them down because his character was evil and he didn't want his performance to make any of them look bad.
A great reaction to one of the greatest films ever made. For a variety of reasons the film didn't perform that well in the box office originally but over time became a cult classic that's earned the praise of celebrities, actors, film critics, and audiences world wide for decades. It was even nominated for 7 academy awards and sits comfortably on almost every top list of films. It was even added to the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress for being so exceptional.
It was one of Stephen King's stories in his book Different Seasons, a four story back, under Hope Spring's Eternal. The name was Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. This, and Green Mile, a miniseries of books by Stephen King, are two of the best prison movies.
The movie is about both of them. They are polar opposites of each other, yet they needed each other. Andy is innocent and Red is guilty. Andy has hope and Red does not. Andy has the strength to keep his mind free and Red does not. If it weren't for Andy, Red would have never regained hope and the will to live.
Probably deliberate, but when Brooks is released the shot still shows the prison. When Red is released, it shows the outside. Very clever. Great reaction.
Another little touch,,, in the time,,,, Red rode on the BACK of the truck and the back of the bus. Andy's hammer was hidden in Exodus! The escape or deliverance.
I'm making a movie about a rogue cook who serves sub par meat in his restaurant. He finally reforms his ways. I call it "The Flank Steak Redemption". No studio has bought the script yet. Seriously, I have never been "into" prison films, but I truly believe that this is one of the best movies ever released.
Every once in a while I’ll learn something new I didn’t see before in one of my favorite movies. From your reaction video, I learned that 1) the justice system - more importantly, the surveillance system - has made it nearly impossible to get away with what Andy and Red were able to, (as a caveat, it’s probable that there’s a new way to escape Big Brother’s eyes, but it’s certainly not the same) and 2) a very realistic explanation for how/why Red was able to remember the name of the town Andy had mentioned. Shit, right before I watched your reaction, I’d seen another, and the guys were joking about if Red hadn’t been able to remember that name - it’s something I’ve always thought, “How in the everloving f could anyone remember that name?” and y’all NAILED it. Of course Red would remember it so immediately, because there would be so little that would differ from the day-in/day-out routine - you’d remember very well anything that wasn’t a part of that. Very cool. Thanks, you two! Your reaction has been so enjoyable for me. I am glad to have seen it!
Great stuff! If you folks wanna dive into the classics like this, I bet you'd love "To Kill a Mockingbird", "12 Angry Men", and "Casablanca", just as a start...
I am a 71 year old pensioner and this film is recognised as a Masterpiece and rated as one of the best films ever made. Glad to see both of you understand the meaning of this film. Redemption, Friendship, Love and HOPE. Please, whenever you feel down, watch this Masterpiece again and your life will be beautiful. Dave in Guernsey, Channel Islands.
Not only do schools look like prisons, they feel like one too. A place you are forced to waste a good chunk of your life learning pointless and useless curriculum. I recall when leaving school I learned more in the month following than I did 3 years prior. At least this was the case in the 80's/90's. Nowadays it seems like schools/universities are more interested in telling you what to think instead of teaching exercises that make you think for yourself.
Learning to read, write, think critically, and socialize in a variety of ways is not a waste. Perhaps you went to a terrible school with little opportunity. But schools are only as good as the community they are in. So look around your community and see what’s wrong if you are so unhappy.
Great reaction guys, thank you. Fresh fish, reeling em in... That was Morgan's son, as was his picture on his jacket. One of Stephen Kings' best nonsupernatural books written. The other 2 are Stand by Me and Misery. Shawshank and Stand by me are both from the same book. Different Seasons. Named Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, and The Body.
When this movie came out in the cinema's, there wasn't much inerest. But when it was put for rent and shown on the tv, millions of people watched it and liked it and that how it became the best movie ever made.
Great channel, that prison was actually being demolished as they were filming this. A few good suggestion for a future veiw. The lost boys Platoon Goodfellas Fargo Thanks again New subscriber 🇨🇦
Great reaction. One of my favorite movies. Tim Robbins (Andy Dufresne) is 6'5. His height actually kept him from getting certain roles because he was so much taller than his co-stars
@kylienagy8381 almost every source I've read lists Tim Robbins height at 6'5. One source has him at 6'4 3/4🤷♂️ What source are you referring to and what does thar source list his height as?
@shawnkolozsy5579 thank you for your kind response to my ignorance, and thank you for creating a learning moment. I hope something wonderful happens for you today. 😌
So many reactors say that "why is he by himself?!" Well, its hard core prison y'all. They don't use the buddy system 🙄😂😂 this is one excellent movie, & im glad y'all enjoyed it. ❤❤
Evening. The prison this was filmed at it was the old Ohio State reformatory and Mansfield, Ohio. The main building that you see and cell Block one are now preserved as they museum. They do tours, mystery night, overnight if you’re brave enough because they say it’s haunted . The city scenes, halfway house, and the E and B Market was on fourth Street. I was lucky enough one of the local people that got to play a con in the yard. The premiere of the movie was held at Mansfield ‘s Renaissance theater A restored 1929 movie palace. Then it had premieres in New York and Los Angeles. On a sidenote, crows from about seven counties come in to Mansfield to live the winter. There are hundreds of them sometimes. I’m glad you enjoyed the movie. I’m now 75 with Parkinson’s, so I watch a lot of reactions on UA-cam since it is hard for me to go to the movies.
There was also a deleted scene in this movie, where during lights out on the day Red finds out Andy escaped, he was laughing super hard. Got 2 weeks in the hole for it
That was one of the best scenes in the book. After the tunnel was discovered, they sent a skinny guard in to find out what happened, and he could be heard saying, "Smells like sh!t...oh sh!t, it IS sh!t!..." and puking up his guts. Red fell down laughing, and Norton promptly sent him to solitary...but Red didn't mind, because he'd just think of it and start laughing all over again. That scene was filmed...but fell flat with test audiences. Frank Darabont figured out why...as well-liked as that scene was in the book, it just didn't work onscreen, because once the audience saw that tunnel, they wanted to know how Andy did it, not take a five-minute detour with some character they'd never met. It worked a lot better with the poster being ripped off the wall...then smash-cut to the police cars racing towards Shawshank.
The guard is Clancy Brown. He has been in a lot of things, Highlander, Starship Troopers. Most young people know him as the voice of Mr Crabs in SpongeBob.
I first watched this at 8 years old and this movie is so good and it has made me cry but it so well done and it is one of my favourites of Stephen King besides Green Mile It was a great movie as well
Captain of the Guard is played by Clancy Brown who was Kurgon in Highlander, the drill instructor in Starship Troopers, and is the voice of Krusty the Krab.
Written by Stephen King. Imagine that... the best horror author in the world also wrote the script to one of the top 3 movies ever made. I lived two blocks away from King's house in Bangor. My dad and I rented a house across the street from the rock wall in this movie and we only found out a few months after we moved in.
This movie is easily in my top 5 favorite movies. The story and the characters are so well written👏🏼 Also Morgan Freemans narration is just next level.👍🏼
Fun fact the pic in Reds book is actually Morgan Freeman own son!!! And i loved yalls reaction you showed a lot more of the movie and yall made sense out of shit other people didn't seem to get at times!! Thanx
Thank u! Finally, someone who didn't flinch at the thought of going thru rhe sh¡t pipe! 😅😅 The number of ppl who say "o no. I could never!" Yes, u could! Think about it! I know i could climb thru 5 more if i knew i was for eure getting out on the other side!
Yes...this is based on a book or short story by Stephen King (I can't remember because I read it as a teenager, and I'm 57 now). It's one of the best films I've ever seen.
I noticed a comment that this is Red's story, and that is true. I think everyone has interacted with someone else who eclipsed their view of life; that was Andy to Red. Andy's character was the catalyst that redeemed Red's lost hope; that, despite all obstacles and set backs, he could act on having a future.
"I heard this was a book." Yep...by Stephen King. It's one of four novellas in the 1982 collection Different Seasons, which also includes The Body (basis for the movie Stand By Me), Apt Pupil (filmed in 1998), and The Breathing Method. What was funny was back when I saw this in 1994, I'd read the book. (The day after I saw Stand By Me at fourteen, I bought a copy of Different Seasons, and eventually read all four novellas.) So I knew the plot. My friend Alan, however, didn't. His reaction at the tail end: "Wait a minute...a STEPHEN KING movie with a HAPPY ENDING?! No cosmic killer clowns?! No Pac-Men eating up the past?!"
Brooks just wanted to be with his friends and when they took that away he had nothing... Even the gaurds were calling him Brooksie which is out of endearment.
Just to let yall know....Tim Robbins is 6foot 5inches. He is, indeed, very tall. And the man that plays the captain of the guards....Hadley, is the voice of Mr Crabs from SpongeBob.
Hahaha that side eye with sound effects was fuuuuuhkin' spot on. Real. ETA: "what if he was under there",...hahahaha shit made me laugh ETAagain: The Cast Away Sevens! Hahaha, the banter betweens yous twos, the quips and the cuts just add to the realness and enjoyment. Peace and blessings
Shawshank is at N°1 as best movies of all time on IMDB. It was directed by Frank Darabont who also did The Mist and The Green Mile both based on Stephen King books. This movie was based on the short story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King which can by found in the Diffirent Seasons book. And Tim Robbins is 6"5. Same height as Michael Jordan 😂
Watching so early from Aotearoa New Zealand, I was 23rd Like. I really admire the symbolism of the Warden snatching the unfinished cigarette out of the kids mouth, a young life stubbed out too early.....
saw this in theaters in 1994, hardly anyone in the theater, it flopped at the box office, by 1999 it was the highest grossing video rental on VHS, this movie is a master piece, it's on many people's top ten list of all time.. best movie of 1994, than forrest gump, than pulp fiction
I love the fact you put F the police in ... When expecting to hear a operatic woman...... It sparked my brain it was awesome I would love to see him scratching the record... Hilarious And I needed a laugh
Great reaction guys to a great movie one of my top 10 movies of all time and I have watched over 2500 movies in my lifetime. Just a few facts about the movie and info. 1. When Andy meets Redd for the first time in the yard, he asked him why they call him Redd, he tells him maybe because I’m Irish. The reason was the part of Redd was to be played by a white guy who was going to be Irish and his last name was Redding, but in the end Morgan got the part and the director kept that line in.. maybe because I’m Irish… so Redd was short for Redding. 2. The young photo of Morgan in the beginning, was a photo of his real son. 3. His son is also in the movie for one scene and that was or he was the guy behind the fence doing the fishing pole gesture with a hat on. 4. The posters of different women was a sign of time passing and years. 5. When Brooks is let out of prison, as he steps out, you see the guards behind him. This represents that he was still stuck or trapped in the same place. That’s why he killed him self. 6. When we see Redd leaving, you see the guards are in front of him as he steps out, meaning he was free. 7. The ending of the movie was Andy driving away with the top rolled down. When it was shown to a test audience they did not like it, they wanted Andy and Redd to reunite… so they went back and shot that ending on the beach as we see… that makes the movie complete. Another great movie from the same director and one of my top 5 movies of all time that you guys should watch and react to is The Green Mile…. Both movies are from Steven King Novels…. Thank you.
Great reaction you two! I'll offer some info on one of the things you said. You said Andy's wife should've just divorced him and that is in fact what she wanted, but back then, unless there were extreme circumstances like obvious signs of physical abuse, the man not making a living, the woman not being able to get pregnant, etc you needed the consent of both partners to get a divorce. It wasn't until the 80's that only one person was needed to get divorce proceedings started.
I have watched over fifty reactors to this movie and you are the first one that has mentioned why they call him RED ... it shows how observant you were right from the start of the movie
Clancy Brown is the sweetest man on the earth. I know he played the head guard in Shawshank, but I was fortunate to know him personally. His brother and my ex played division 1 football together. He couldn't be at the games all the time, but he was like a big brother to me when he could be at the games. He was great! Clancy Brown is underrated at what I am an amazing actor and person he really is!
@@patrickbateman7369 That's true of a lot of actors who regularly play villains. From what I hear, most of them are great people IRL. My theory is that they get to exorcise the dark side of themselves in their performances, where it doesn't hurt anyone.
Morgan freeman and Tim Robbins were perfectly cast for this movie.
They used Morgan Freeman’s son for Red’s mugshot.
He is also one of the prisoners cheering the arrival of "Fresh Fish" at the beginning.
In the book, Red IS irish. Thats the joke. But.... its Morgan Frickin Freeman! They couldn't have cast that role better.
Yeah!
Also, the redemption is Red's, not Andy's. It's in the title (REDemption), and he's the one narrating.
I get what you're saying, but it's a little bit of injected levity when Morgan Freeman says it, it's a nice touch to put life in the character.
“Remember Red hope is a good thing maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies”. That quote always sticks with me ❤❤❤❤❤. Love y’all.
The Shawshank redemption is one of the best movies ever. Sadly, it was robbed of Oscar.
You can blame Tom hanks and Forrest for that one!
Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, and Forrest Gump all came out the same year. Any of them could have won best picture, Forrest Gump took home the award. All 3 are phenomenal movies
Not robbed, 1995 had some of the most iconic movies in history competing and Shawshank came out later in the award season and wasn't overly promoted.
Forrest Gump was on the other side... What can I say
Gump has entered the chat
The head corrections officer was the voice of Mr. Crab in sponge bob 😂
Whatttt? Lmao
He was also Frankenstein 's monster with Sting, and The Kurgan in Highlander

I saw it in the theater. After it ended the whole theater gave a huge round of applause.
The only movie I've ever had that happen with was the original Jumanji (with Robin Williams).
Funnily enough it was a bit of a flop in the cinema and only appreciated afterwards.
@@kevinb9830 The theater was not full.
The half that did show up loved it.
@@revolutionday1 huh
@@benceboros2210 Which part are you struggling with, exactly...? 🤔
The movie is not about Andy. It's about Red. He is the one redeemed in Shawshank. Andy didn't need to be redeemed, he was innocent.
Interesting.. never saw it that way!
Yes, I think Andy helped redeem Red, by giving him hope again and ultimately saving him from ending up like Brooks.
The movie is about both of them. They are polar opposites of each other, yet they needed each other.
Andy is innocent and Red is guilty. Andy has hope and Red does not.
Andy has the strength to keep his mind free and Red does not.
If it weren't for Andy, Red would have never regained hope and the will to live.
I don't know if he was a alcoholic or was just drunk that night but either way it got helped him stopped drinking if you want to count that.
Maybe its about the warden?
Probably deliberate, but when Brooks is released the shot still shows the prison. When Red is released, it shows the outside. Very clever. Great reaction.
Definitely deliberate. Film is one of the greatest forms of art.
Most people don’t get that- good job
Another little touch,,, in the time,,,, Red rode on the BACK of the truck and the back of the bus. Andy's hammer was hidden in Exodus! The escape or deliverance.

This movie is not a prison movie even though it’s set in a prison. It’s a movie about friendship and the redemptive power of hope.
When Red tells Andy going to Mexico was “shitty pipe dreams”, it foreshadows Andy crawling through a pipe of shit to escape.
Yeah, that's right. I like how the first cut out page of the many cut out in his Bible to hide his rock hammer is in the Book of Exodus.
Yay the long upload. This is a classic. Always makes me cry

1:00:35 Nat had me cracking up talking about the thing Andy left for Red being a Jack-in-the-box. Imagine that being the big payoff? 😂
Just to let yall know....Tim Robbins is 6foot 5inches. He is, indeed, very tall. And the man that plays the captain of the guards....Hadley, is the voice of Mr Crabs from SpongeBob.
It takes people a few to figure out Tommy is NOT going to be okay! lol. You guys picked up on that instantly.
"Don't touch that boy!" 😂
30:41 😂I hope if they do a parody or remake of this movie in a modern setting they do this scene to that song. 🎶 Excellent.
You guys need to watch Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood. Another excellent movie.
Enjoyed your reaction. You’re a well matched great couple. Best wishes always.
Bro you kept calling it Jail, IT'S Prison!!!
Hahaha that side eye with sound effects was fuuuuuhkin' spot on. Real.
ETA: "what if he was under there",...hahahaha shit made me laugh
ETAagain: The Cast Away Sevens! Hahaha, the banter betweens yous twos, the quips and the cuts just add to the realness and enjoyment.
Peace and blessings
Knowledge is a true gift from God. It is the only thing you can take with you. And the only thing more precious than gold.
Fun fact: they have a music/tattoo festival there every summer. There is also a new prison right next to where this one is.
Dai is smart and emotionally intelligent. Refreshing to see reactors like this :)
Shawshank is at N°1 as best movies of all time on IMDB. It was directed by Frank Darabont who also did The Mist and The Green Mile both based on Stephen King books. This movie was based on the short story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King which can by found in the Diffirent Seasons book. And Tim Robbins is 6"5. Same height as Michael Jordan 😂
I just discovered your channel the other day, with Skeleton Key. I dig y’all’s content! Subbed. 💖🥂
Watching so early from Aotearoa New Zealand, I was 23rd Like. I really admire the symbolism of the Warden snatching the unfinished cigarette out of the kids mouth, a young life stubbed out too early.....
❤❤
" snuffed " out too early. Just FYI
😢@@Dai.Natreacts the money he got from the banks would be around $3.5m today
@philosopher0076 in my mother tongue the phrase to stub out a cigarette is really used. Of course other verbs or colloquialisms are valid too.
I don't comment much at all but I have to tell you I loved your reaction. It's my first time here but not my last . God bless you both.
saw this in theaters in 1994, hardly anyone in the theater, it flopped at the box office, by 1999 it was the highest grossing video rental on VHS, this movie is a master piece, it's on many people's top ten list of all time.. best movie of 1994, than forrest gump, than pulp fiction
I love the fact you put F the police in ... When expecting to hear a operatic woman...... It sparked my brain it was awesome I would love to see him scratching the record... Hilarious And I needed a laugh
Shame on you for “ scratching” that record Andy put on in the warden’s office! If I was drinking something I would’ve damn near choked ! 😂😂
Amazing story by Stephen King, incredible directing by Frank Darabont 👏
What's w the downvotes? Just because they have to edit this shit to avoid infringement? Really fun reaction imo
There's no pleasing some people.
Great reaction guys to a great movie one of my top 10 movies of all time and I have watched over 2500 movies in my lifetime. Just a few facts about the movie and info.
1. When Andy meets Redd for the first time in the yard, he asked him why they call him Redd, he tells him maybe because I’m Irish.
The reason was the part of Redd was to be played by a white guy who was going to be Irish and his last name was Redding, but in the end Morgan got the part and the director kept that line in.. maybe because I’m Irish… so Redd was short for Redding.
2. The young photo of Morgan in the beginning, was a photo of his real son.
3. His son is also in the movie for one scene and that was or he was the guy behind the fence doing the fishing pole gesture with a hat on.
4. The posters of different women was a sign of time passing and years.
5. When Brooks is let out of prison, as he steps out, you see the guards behind him. This represents that he was still stuck or trapped in the same place. That’s why he killed him self.
6. When we see Redd leaving, you see the guards are in front of him as he steps out, meaning he was free.
7. The ending of the movie was Andy driving away with the top rolled down. When it was shown to a test audience they did not like it, they wanted Andy and Redd to reunite… so they went back and shot that ending on the beach as we see… that makes the movie complete.
Another great movie from the same director and one of my top 5 movies of all time that you guys should watch and react to is The Green Mile…. Both movies are from Steven King Novels…. Thank you.
Great reaction you two! I'll offer some info on one of the things you said. You said Andy's wife should've just divorced him and that is in fact what she wanted, but back then, unless there were extreme circumstances like obvious signs of physical abuse, the man not making a living, the woman not being able to get pregnant, etc you needed the consent of both partners to get a divorce. It wasn't until the 80's that only one person was needed to get divorce proceedings started.
1st time to your Chanel love this film ready to enjoy again with newbies cheers 🍻 👏
I have watched over fifty reactors to this movie and you are the first one that has mentioned why they call him RED ... it shows how observant you were right from the start of the movie
They call him red because, in the book, he was an Irish guy with red hair, goober
@@willdallas53 YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT THE REFERENCE IN THE BOOK ... BUT IN THE MOVIE THEY SHOW ON HIS FIRST REJECTION THAT HIS LAST NAME IS REDDING
Love your vibes and harmony!
HAHAHA, I LOL'd and probably woke up the fam @30:41 when the needle hit the track.
Clancy Brown is the sweetest man on the earth. I know he played the head guard in Shawshank, but I was fortunate to know him personally. His brother and my ex played division 1 football together. He couldn't be at the games all the time, but he was like a big brother to me when he could be at the games. He was great! Clancy Brown is underrated at what I am an amazing actor and person he really is!
Sweetest man!??? You must not know him
@@patrickbateman7369 That's true of a lot of actors who regularly play villains. From what I hear, most of them are great people IRL. My theory is that they get to exorcise the dark side of themselves in their performances, where it doesn't hurt anyone.
"He got the castaway 7's on". Lol
