Gald you guys loved it. That ending has to be one of the most satisfying and rewarding endings in film history, especially after all of the heartache the film puts you and these characters through. Such a timeless classic. It's often revered as one of the greatest films of all time nowadays and it's definitely earned that label
You get all the payback, all the catharsis that you possibly can out of the end. It's so good.
Hey how old are these guys
@@gabedavis3294 hey how old are these guys
As satisfying as it is to see them reunited on the beach, I feel like the ending would have been better if it stopped when Red was on the bus, saying all the “I hope…” things. Just dialogue-wise, it makes sense to leave it there. Hope is a good thing. But I also understand the Hollywood aspect.
@@vbvermont hey how old are these guys?
I'm not ashamed to say I get emotional at the ending. Red and Andy reuniting is one of the most beautiful moments in film.
One of my favorite movies, and one of the best endings I've ever seen.
To me, Andy's most impressive achievement is this: shortly after he was imprisoned, he started working on his escape attempt. He spent 19 years falsely imprisoned, enduring brutal conditions, helping his fellow inmates, enabling the warden's scams, etc. He planned his escape, changed it, refined it, and finally executed it flawlessly, getting the perfect revenge on top of it, and getting away scot free.
And in all those 19 years, he never said a single word or even hinted at his plan to anyone, not even to Red.
Thanks for the reaction and the video.
Pressure and Time.
He more than hinted at it.
@@tempsitch5632 How and when?
@@cwell510 What’re you asking ? The money embezzlement and mexican rendezvous are both major plot points.
@@tempsitch5632 Wasn't much of a hint, more like wishful thinking. If it was that obvious, they would have been on to him.
This is a perfect movie for me. There's not even a single slight detail I'd change. Perfect pacing and story structure. A rollercoaster of emotion with the ultimate feelgood ending.
I think they'd get a kick out of the book referenced in here "The Count of Monte Cristo" as well. A good follow up movie either way.
There is only ONE thing i would change. When the guard goes into Andy's cell when the viewer thinks Andy may have killed himself, the guard looks around too much. He gives away the fact that Andy isn't there.
Brooks makes me cry everytime, and the scene when you don't know if Andy is still alive always gives me chills not to mention the narration of the great Morgan Freeman! Great movie guys and great reaction!!!👍
Red's "I guess I just miss my friend" hits me every time.
One of my dad's favorite movies. He used to quote this line all the time, as he outlived all of his closest friends. My dad has passed too now, so this line resonates with me even more now.
You guys might be the first reactioners I’ve watched who didn’t see Tommy’s murder coming. Your reactions were absolutely great! 👍👍❤️❤️
To be fair to them, they were actually exactly right as far as the book goes. In the book, the warden bribes him and moves him to a low security prison.
I've seen this movie so many times. Brooks part still makes me cry along with the ending.
The reveal of the poster and the reveal of the new identity at the bank still make my jaw drop. Every time.
What a masterpiece
I remember seeing this in the theater and when you finally see the hole revealed people literally jumped out of their seats cheering...it was like being at a sporting event....to this day it was the most visceral reaction I have ever had, or been a part of during a movie....I've watched this movie at least 50x, and I still cry from the moment Red gets on that bus through meeting Andy on the beach.....
That last shot of Red and Andy on the beach in Mexico touches my heart like no other. Loved your reaction.
Your life is officially changed. "Get busy living, or get busy dying." You're damn right.
Great quote
What really struck me is when Brooks went into prison there were practically no cars and a much slower pace of life. The shock of his reality when he got out must have been overwhelming, which in turn prompted his suicide.
Same here. Just imagine the changes that happened in the world from '05 to the fifties. 2 world wars, the Great Depression, the rise of communism, the advent of cars and the bomb. Like landing on an alien world where all you have in common is the language.
That $35,000 inheritance would be about $245,000 today.
Count of Monte Cristo
Yes must watch.
Crisco
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Another perfect mix!
I love your reactions because you don't talk over everything and react accordingly. You're both so magical together.
You don't know how fun it was to watch your reactions to one of the greatest movies ive ever seen. Better believe I was right there with you. Thank you guys, a definite new subscriber!
you guys honestly make me feel like I’m watching movies for the first time all over again, love your videos thank you for your content from Australia 🇦🇺
This movie is a homage to the patient and persistent. When you know your road you don't have to move quickly, only steadily.
Since you mentioned it, I find it very meaningful how the parole board members don't release Red until they could be sure that his spirit was broken or that he had become comfortable with staying in prison. As long as he had the hope of returning to a somewhat normal life, they assumed he had not learned his lesson. It is like they wanted to punish these people one last time.
That was a great reaction guys. Enjoyed watching you react to a masterpiece. A beautiful story of hope and friendship so masterfully crafted and acted. Just superb. Glad y'all got to enjoy this one. Have a great week !
"Green Mile" comes after this one (another Frank Darabont movie based on a Stephen King book)..... Hope you two have a good pair of handkerchiefs, cause you're going to need them.....
@36:32 Those are two of the happiest human faces I haven't seen in along time.
Thank you for the reaction🙏🏼✌🏼
Unexpectedly brilliant movie. Sad and tragic but ending so heartwarmingly.
Quite simply a timeless universal masterpiece. Flawless.
Y'all look like a happy couple. Thank you for reacting to 'Shawshank Redemption"
It's been said that this film has saved people's lives, rescued people from dark places. Another movie masterpiece
one of the best movies of all time, shoulda won best picture over forrest gump
This was the film that started Morgan Freeman's phenomenal voice narration in films. The original ending didn't have them meeting again, it ended on the shot of the pacific ocean, test audiences hated the two old friends not meeting up again and the ending was changed to the one we see now.
Good thing they changed the ending. You can leave a reader with just the hope of the two friends reuniting, but you can’t leave a movie audience hanging like that.
@@greggross8856 amen
Shawshank is literally the greatest movie ever made. IMDB scores it as 9.3 which is higher than The Godfather and it shows. The entire cast delivered exceptional performances, the music was perfect, the story was totally captivating and the ending was so satisfying you can't help but take a deep breath after viewing this masterpiece. I recommend watching more prison movies like Escape From Alcatraz, Cool Hand Luke, Brawl in Cell Block 99, Felon and Papillon. Great reaction guys, keep going.
1st off I want to say you are a special couple! I’m 57 yrs. old & when I watch you guys it makes me believe there is some hope for this world… there are still young people who truly love & respect each other…who truly think things through before they speak…who truly express open laughter together…who truly enjoy each other’s company…it truly shows that individually your good people…and together you are “The Perfect Couple”!! I don’t know you…but from afar I’m Proud of You 👍🏻! Things won’t always be perfect…you will both have hard times…always remember the importance of The Journey! ✌🏻☀️
Thank you for the beautiful comment:))
@@theperfectmixx ✌🏻☀️Your very welcome!
@@theperfectmixx hey guys how old are r u?
I just love when a movie ends they exact way we want it to or how it’s “supposed” to. This movie gives us that. Great reaction🤘🏼
Every now and then on a lazy Sunday I'd put this movie on and just get lost in the story. One of my all-time favorite movies. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
A love story between two men. .....and absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for posting.
I had to laugh at her look of hope when the warden was talking to Tommy because he was just sitting next to her looking full of suspicion. I felt bad. You two felt his death pretty keenly. Great reaction!
I, like many others, am a YT Reactor viewing addict of sorts, subscriber to nearly a dozen YT movie reactor channels and sampled 5 times that many, please allow me to declare that not only are you two EXCELLENT at this "niche" but your reaction to Shawshank is one of the best.
I could go into details but will leave it up to future viewers to witness what I watched and am confident they will "get my meaning" so I'll end this comment with...
THANK YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH!
God bless y"all & best of luck going forward
There are many moments I love in this movie, but I especially enjoy the moment when you can hear the sirens coming for the warden and his goons and the camera zooms in on the needlework sampler over the safe: His Judgment Cometh, And That Right Soon.
You should watch “The Count of Monte Cristo” from 2002. They mentioned this book in this movie, in the library. Written by Alexander Dumas. The 2002 movie version starring Jim Caviezel is also a prison break movie. One of my faves. HIGHLY underrated. Jealousy, revenge, redemption, cunning and a lil romance all in one :))
You mean Alexandre Dumbass?
The funny thing about Red's "Maybe it's because I'm Irish" comment is that, in the novella from which this movie comes from, Red *is* white and *is* Irish. Which makes the movie-maker a damn GENIUS for giving Red that line in the movie when "Red" is Morgan Freeman!
I hadn't read the book, and just assumed he had an irish ancestor when he said that.
Yes Red was Irish and they called him red because his face always looked sun burned. Also Andy was a short man in the book but tall in the movie.
They did everything right in the movie, they took the plot and changed the entire tone of the story. It pays off perfectly.
@@crystalkunsky744 He is so tall that in the shots with Red, they made the camera angle so that Andy didn't tower over him.
I could listen to Morgan Freeman read a f*cking phone book.
You two are the perfect mix . Great reaction 👍
I have watched more Shawshank reactions on this godforsaken website than I care to admit, but this was the best. Cheers to the two of you - you seem like a wonderful couple.
Such a lovely and empathetic reaction to this great film...I can tell you both have big hearts. If you happen to be interested in checking out some great (older) classic movies, here's a short list of recommendations that I think you might like: To Kill a Mockingbird (1962), Casablanca (1942), 12 Angry Men (1957), Rocky (1976), Rear window (1954), and North by Northwest (1958).
Red and Andy were... the pefect mix in this movie. 😉🤗
One of my favorite movies to see people watch for the first time! 🔥💯
This is my first time seeing you guys, and I just want to say that the wholesome energy radiating off you two is so beautiful.
My favorite moment was when Andy negotiated for beers for all of his fellow inmates. I think that scene really summed up the essence of Andy. And, Red, in his wisdom, said he thought Andy just wanted to feel normal with that gesture. 💙🎥
There's so many layers to this film, it's epic. The theme is "hope", and it's everywhere when you start to look.
You two really are damn near perfect aren't you? I wish I could watch every movie with you guys. You make it far more entertaining and emotional.
I *loved* your reactions to all the escape reveals 👍
I got to meet and spend some time with Bob Gunton (The Warden) in 2018. He’s one of the nicest and friendliest celebrities I’ve ever met but he plays villains so brilliantly. When he gave me an autograph he signed it:
“Skye put your trust in the Lord. Your ass belongs to me.”
The book doesn’t give us the ending that the film does. It ends with Red on the bus, thinking, “I hope.”
You two are wonderful. Best wishes for a beautiful life together.
When Red says "Get busy livin or get busy dyin. That's god damn right." I want to cheer.
It's no wonder it is still in consideration for the best movie of all time. Such an absolutely incredible piece of art. If you want to see another one of Frank Darabont's adaptations of a Stephen King book, I suggest "The Green Mile".
One of the best movies you guys reacted to, I really enjoyed your commentary and reaction to the scenes you showed as they were some of the most iconic parts of this movie :))
This has been my favorite movie for the last 28yrs.
"regular sears and roebuck". love this line.
I wonder when we will get to the point when young people don't get that reference. In the 90's when the movie came out, they were already on a downhill slide.
Andy hid the hammer in the Book of Exodus. Andy escaped from Eygpt through the brown sea.
When the movie was send out in the cinema's, it wasn't well received but when the movie was put up for rent, millions of people watched it and liked it and then it became one of the best movies of all time.
My favorite movie ever. Red saying “hope is a dangerous thing” after Brooks kills himself, followed by him getting rejected for parole again and then you get to the end and Red is saying all the things he hopes for is incredible.
Another great movie from the 90’s you should see is ‘Heat’. It’s another one of my all time favorites.
I acted in Shawshank for two months the summer of 93. Great experience!
You're like the sunrise in the morning on these Shawshank reactions that have become a guilty pleasure for both of us, always there like clockwork. Feels like I know you even though you always say the exact same thing😄 I'm jealous.
@mikeanderson1722 it's just a reminder of how lucky I am to be in it. I'm going to the 30th anniversary in August. :)
Great reaction guys! :) We could all tell you enjoyed this movie.
This movie is fantastic - great acting, great direction and cinematography. The Morgan Freeman 'Red', monologue at the end always gives me chills. The meeting on the beach, no words needed just a simple embrace, absolutely beautiful.
Excellent reaction you two. I really do appreciate your raw emotions in these.
My bit of useless trivia if it hasn't already been pointed out... During Red's parole hearings, the man in Red's mug shot is actually Morgan's son. His son also played the man in the laundry who slipped items in the prison for Red.
Thank you for your channel. Your two of my top three movie reactors. You always keep in the best scenes that other reactors cut.
When I was going up in Maine, I drove by the old State Prison complex. Strangely enough, before lobster (lobstah) became a delicacy, it was served to the prisoners there. As it was considered a sea spider/sea bug at the time, the prisoners sued the state claiming the serving of lobster to be a form of "cruel and unusual punishment" and won their case.
Your reactions were terrific. Thank you.
"The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Rains of Castamere" are the two things I love watching people react to the most, and you two had a beautiful reaction to this masterpiece. Your shock at Brooks, Tommy and the beach reminded me of my first time watching it. Keep doing this x
Great reaction by the two of you. The ending still gets me - even 25+ years after I watched it for the first time and even after watching it literally hundreds of times.
I bearly notice that ever since the gordon was alive the prison been corrupt so i guess it benefit him to reject almost everyone's parole hearing so red wouldn't gotten out. As for brooks they needed him for the library but since they put andy there so they let him go. The best scene to me was all scenes specially when andy bumped that Sull Aria for everyone throught the mic. You guys are awsome.
I appreciate when young people give classics a chance.
One of my top five for sure. Tugs the heart strings every time.
That was the best reaction I've seen to this movie... and I have seen a lot of them.
You're a beautiful couple with beautiful energy. I'll be back. Thank you.
Fun Fact: The mug shot rejection picture was Morgan Freemans son.
*is
Who is the one saying rain em in when Andy arrives
I never get tired of watching reactions to this movie.
This is one of the few movies where studios requested a change, and it is universally loved. In the original version that the filmmakers made the film ends with red on the bus and his little monologue about Hope is where it fades to black. The studio saw it and requested they go back and film the new ending where him and Andy meet on the beach.
I loved that every unexpected twist of this amazing movie, caught you off guard just as expected, it was very satisfying to watch people enjoying movies this way, keep up the reactions.
Another great reaction!! Keep it up. You two are awesome.
If you look at Andy's shirt at the end, it's clearly what used to be a white dress shirt, with the sleeves cut off. I like to think it's intended he is still wearing the warden's shirt. It's such a baller move to wear that as a trophy.
This movie is damn near perfect. Easily top 5 material to me. Brooks makes me cry every time, he is such a sweet old man and deserved better! :(
Another prison movie where I cried a river was The Green Mile. I highly recommend it if you have not seen it. And thank you for your genuine reactions as well, I really enjoyed the video!
Kudos from Germany :)
Those that do Shawshank are always advised to do "The Green Mile" next (and vise-versa) because both are Stephen King stories made into movies directed by Frank Darabont, and excellent. Definitely do The Green Mile soon and don't research it to avoid spoilers. ✌😎
Loved your reaction to this classic movie, the first time I've watched one of yours but from this good time I've spent with you I'll be looking forward to the next one. See you again soon.
Just found your channel by searching "reaction on shawshank redemption". You look so nice together, good reactions too!
Fun fact: Tim Robbins (Andy) became involved in a number of prison reform and advocacy groups because of this role, including one that teaches inmates theater.
I met him once at a seminar at my college (I studied criminology). He was an amazing speaker and really kind person 😊
“You remember the name of the town don’t you?”
“CRAP!!”
To this day, *The Green Mile* and *The Shawshank Redemption* - have THE best endings in any films over the last 20 years.
One of my all-time favorite movies!!!
Shawshank Redemption is truly one of the greatest movies of all time. I just watched it today for the first time and now I can understand what all the fuss is about. It's a brilliant movie with an exceptional script and fantastic acting. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
I've never seen you both before, you rock, love you're passion !!!
Shawshank redemption is a masterpiece🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And now... The Green Mile!!!!
You're gonna love that one even more!!!!
Great Reactions Guys!
Other movies that will give you an emotional roller-coaster ride :
"The Green Mile" (Tom Hanks), "Misery" (James Caan, Kathy Bates), both of which are taken from books by Stephen King (as is "The Shawshank Redemption").
I love this movie, never gets old.
You both are soo cute 🥰
One of my favorites. You should read the short story as well. You guys are great. Great reaction, subscribed.
It's so good, isn't it? I'm happy y'all loved it. My top 10, too!
Great reaction, Shawshank is one the all-time great movies. The Count of Monte Cristo would be another movie you would love!
I love you guys’ commentary. One of favorite all-time stories, but so hard to watch again from beginning to end. There should an award for narration - because quite honestly Morgan Freeman’s voice got me through this movie.
My favorite moment is Red sitting by the tree, looking around while reading a letter from his long lost friend. I wish I could give that kind of Hope to someone that desperately needs it. 🥳 Good one, y’all!
Fun fact that last scene was actually shot on St. Croix in the Carribean sea.
I was so excited to see y'all reacting to this. One of my all time favorite movies..
So happy y’all loved this movie but many people don’t know whom the Shawshank Redemption was about. It was about Andy, right? No, if you remember, in the beginning it was Red telling us about the time he met Andy Dufresne. This film was about Red all along. Red had to redeem himself, not Andy. Andy was never guilty so there was absolutely nothing to redeem. Red admitted to himself and all the other inmates that he was guilty. Red knew he deserved to be there & he needed to make things as right as he could, he served his time honorably. Red was the one whom needed to redeem himself and he did. The short story that this was based on is called, Rita Hayworth & the Shawshank Redemption. Written by Richard Bachman aka Stephen King.
This is my favorite movie, so I’m keen to watch reaction videos, and you guys are amazing. I really enjoyed this-and you both. Thank you 🙏
Great review of definitely one of the all-time great movies. You two are awesome! ❤️🙏
This is a top 5 movie. Think about this, in 1994, you had Forrest gump, Shawshank redemption, and pulp fiction all come out and vie for best movie. Forrest Gump swept most awards.
The movie was supposed to end with the bus going down the road and red saying “I hope to see my friend….I hope” but it made people unhappy. The short clip at the end really makes you feel good. It’s a great way to wrap it up.
My wife introduced me to this movie back in 1995....and became hooked to it.
