![[First Time Watching] The Shawshank Redemption (1994) REACTION](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6u76ZpEIO0w/mqdefault.jpg)
The Brooks scene just broke me… Hope you’ll enjoy the movie guys.

I loved your Jurassic Park video so much that I subscribed after just that!
Also, could you do The Lost World soon? (Jurassic Park 2)
Me too. Breaks my fr!ggin' heart every time...
The actor that played Brooks came out of retirement to play that role
This movie is perfect and that scene is completely devastating.
I remember telling my husband and friends when they suggested seeing this, "Oh, a prison movie - not at the top of my list". I left the theatre in tears; completely overwhelmed by its beauty and wishing I had worn waterproof mascara. I really enjoyed your reaction, and really, really appreciate that you didn't need to feel the need to pause every 60 seconds to make a comment, or talk over the movie with a constant stream of chatter, as so many other do - bless you for that and keep up the good work!
Thank you for saying all this! One of the reasons I always watch George's videos is that he doesn't have to talk ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MOVIE and react to EVERY tiny little thing and make constant predictions about what's going to happen next. I've stopped watching a lot of reactors because they have no sense of when to talk and react and when to watch. Half of them don't even know what's going on in the film because they talk during the exposition. George is the Best!!!!
@@JohnWesleyDowney Exactly! Save the commentary until the end. We want to see your reactions.
As an old man (73 years old ), it's young people like you that renew my hope for the future. Keep up the good work!
We are with u, grandpa
Literally the reason I watch these reactions.
It's no wonder that Stephen King is THE master storyteller. Now you absolutely MUST watch The Green Mile, but keep some tissues next to you. Forest Gump is another must see. You won't regret it.
Stephen King and Frank Darabont were a match made in heaven. Arguably not on the same level as green mile and shawshank but the mist is well worth the watch too
Another great King adaptation is Misery. Darabont wasn't on this project, but it's great!
I love Stephen King. My favorite writer. I mean, he often struggles to write endings, but the journey to get to the end is always so good that I never care that he rarely sticks the landing.
@@lynnie6633 I'm pretty sure Darabont wrote and directed it...
@@Ryanrichey13 Nope, sorry! Book written by SK, directed by Rob Reiner.
Critics have declared this a certified masterpiece. It was underrated at the time of release. Today, it has become the most popular film in decades.
Agreed!
This movie easily can be called the best movie that ever came out of Hollywood. Fantastic and extremely emotional dialog. Top rate movie actors at the top of their game. Stunning cinematography and an absolutely haunting story. What is just as good as the movie itself is this gentleman’s beautiful and emotional reaction and critique of this film. What a joy to see his reaction and how this movie effected him on such a personal level. Not to be passed over is the fact that there are a few more movies that were adapted from this master known as Stephen King that are on a list of Hollywood greats. You can also add the movie masterpieces of the likes of the emotionally heart wrenching “The Green Mile”. The haunting “Shining”. The powerful drama “Deloris Claiborne” and The deliciously devilish “Misery”. All cinematic powerhouses in their own way. Along with the viewing of Misery and Deloris Claiborne you will also get a treat as you witness the unbelievable and stunning Oscar winning performance of the great Kathy Bates.
Would love to see your reactions to the other Stephen King films. Thanks again for your gifted and emotional reaction to this film. It was just as good as the film itself. Powerful!
Four years after getting out of prison, this movie began to heal me. So many lines of dialogue just break my soul every time I watch it.
"I guess I just miss my friend",
"....I go to the park and feed the birds and think Jake might show up and say hello. He never does.",
"They say the Pacific has no memory",
"Whatever mistakes I made, I've paid for them and then some",
"Hope is a good thing",
"I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope".
my favourites quote of all time is "some birds arent meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright."
Perhaps the best movie ending of all time, I'll watch the last of reactions to this film, just to see others get that emotional reaction, not knowing what will become of Red, then to imagine a whole other life, just working on that boat, going out fishing, enjoying the sun and beach knowing the law can never touch them again.
The warden was holding the bible with the rock hammer in it when they searched Andy's cell. When the warden handed the bible back to Andy, the warden said "salvation lies within." That's the significance of the note Andy writes in the bible when he leaves it in the warden's safe. The rock hammer lay within.
Now you see WHY it was requested so much! 💚
This movie is ranked #1 of all time on IMDB. Now you see why. They simply don't make films like this any more. I've seen it 50 times and I'll probably watch it another 50 more. Thanks for sharing!
One of the very best films ever made. The story-telling, and the writing is as close to perfection as I've ever seen. Glad you enjoyed it as much as the rest of us.
I saw this movie at the cinema in 1994-95. I knew nothing about the movie beforehand and left the cinema blown away. 28 years later, and this movie remains my favourite movie of all time. This guy who watched & reacted to this movie - he gets it.
Wish I got to see it at the theatres.....probably too young to appreciate it then, my absolute favourite film by some margin.
If you think you hate The Warden then just wait till you meet Percy Wetmore on “The Green Mile”.
It’s another prison film written and directed by the writer of “The Shawshank Redemption”.
Highly recommended. 🖖🏻
Spoiler
Good film but not as good as this
I was 13 and My father grabbed me and my brother and took us to see the Thursday, 10pm sneak-preview and we had no idea what to expect. At the end of the film I noticed my mouth was wide open from amazement. I turned to so see both my brother and my father with their mouths dropped in awe as well.
What a film!
Next to a few others, this is one of the greatest movie ever made!
I always think this pairs excellently with the "Green Mile". Both are set in similar settings and one is about Hope and the other is about what happens when the world meets Hope.
Well I prefer Shawshank because even if it's a great movie, I regret the "magical" side of the green mile... It's part of the story, I cry when I see it, but I don't believe in that magic, so it's also "just" a fairy tale to me...
Whether S.R. is realistic, it's plausible, it's like you really lived with the men. It could have really happen. It makes the story more relatable to the real life.
They also have the same director, Frank Darabont, and of course the same writer Stephen King.
Another Stephen King story made into an incredible film and directed by Frank Darabont again is "The Green Mile", stars Tom Hanks among a great cast. ✌😎
Totally agree. Watch The Green Mile (bring a box of tissues).
Good call!
Yes! 100 percent he has to watch that one.
Me too... Green Mile ...BIG box tissues 🤧 😢
The best thing about this movie is that it is always fantastic, no matter how many times you watch it.
This is honestly one of the best movies ever made.
I had read the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" some years before this movie came out which is the same premise. I thought it was appropriate and interesting to see it referenced in this movie. This book had to have been behind his motivation.
A piece of trivia … the actor who plays the main guard, Captain Hadley, is also the voice of Mr Krabbs on SpongeBob
i like how when Red is released the guards look upon him with some level of reverence.
The Best Movie Of All Time!
Still holds 9/10 on IMDB!
Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture.
Lost 6/7 to Forrest Gump.
One of the greatest movies ever...an absolute timeless classic for the ages
Great reaction man, we all cry for this.. all of us
Brooks part is the only movie scene I can think of that makes me really tear up. Masterful storytelling. I love this movie
James Whitmore was a tremendous character, nearing the end of his career when he played Brooks. For an early peek at this man's talent, please watch "Them" 1954. The ants are cheesy by todays standards, but a terrific story, and solid cast make it a great watch, even 70 years later.
I remember seeing this movie when it came out. I saw it at least 20 times. I found out it was a commercial flop. It wasn't until it came to video it became a huge success. Now 20 years later, I've probably watched it at least a 1000 times. Classic.
It s doubtful that in our lifetime - another motion picture will come anywhere close to the brilliance ...
Everyone has a film which makes them cry every time, the beach scene at the end of Shawshank is the one for me
The book was written by Steven King. The Green Mile is another Steven King movie with the same director. Other King stories whose movies shouldn't be missed, Stand By Me and Misery. His horror movies, not to be missed, The Shining, and Carrie.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this movie and I cry about Brooks every time.
"I guess I just miss my friend".......gets me every time............helluva movie. Thanks for posting.
One of the most amazing things to do in life is to find and old hayfield, preferably with a rock wall, and just sit against that wall, or a tree and just listen...listen to the epic silence. It will touch your soul in a way that you never even considered.
"The Green Mile" next...Also a Stephen King story, and also directed by Frank Darabont...On the same level as Shawshank.
One of my favorite things about this movie is the little parole hearings for Red. When the movie first starts, he has no real hope of getting out, and is just going through the motions of saying he's rehabilitated. This is something the parole board picks up on, and they feel he isn't genuine. This is true for a lot of the prisoners. You see that in the way they joke about it being "up for rejection" and how he says the same thing every time. After Andy leaves, it changes. Instead of just going with what's expected, he says what he actually feels and the parole board can feel that.
This movie was filmed in the town I’m from, Mansfield, Ohio and that is the old Ohio State Reformatory. I always thought it looked like draculas castle when I was young. Haha
But really..What an amazing review man, so heartfelt. Still after all these years I still get choked-up watching this masterpiece.
I grew up in Mansfield as well.
I'm from Cleveland. I visited it. Halloween season it was fun. That place is very haunted
You can feel the sadness and anger in that building still. The walls soaked in so much negativity over the years. It really gets to you.
Excellent reaction! Now that you've seen Shawshank, you need to watch The Green Mile (1999): same director and based on another work by Stephen King.
And a couple of common actors too...
I had the great fortune to meet Bob Gunton, The Warden, in Las Vegas back in 2017. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He loves meeting with fans and will talk about literally anything. It’s too bad he frequently plays villains but he’s so good when he does. He’s also well known for his excellent episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where he played Captain Maxwell in “The Wounded”.
Also did you notice that Boggs was played by the same actor who played Vasquez’s friend Drake in ALIENS?
Great reaction as always! 🖖🏻
P.S.
Brooks was a member of the scientific hearing in the original “Planet of the Apes”. He was the orangutan next to Dr. Zaus!
are you being obtuse?
@@spacecatboy2962very funny comment; I wish I had thought to say it; lol
He was also in Demolition Man ;-)
cool trivia!
Bob Gunton was also the original Broadway Juan Peron in the musical Evita-he has a gorgeous singing voice!
I acted in Shawshank for two months. Great experience!
Which scene would we recognize you in?
This is one of the best movies ever made. It was nominated for multiple academy awards and the only reason it didn’t win is because it was up against Forrest Gump.
Brooks is my fav character. The actor who played him James Whitmore is a golden globe, Emmy, and Tony winning actor. Also a Yale graduate. The scene of him sitting on the bus he isn’t even talking just the look on his face kills me. Fantastic acting in this whole film.
One of the best movies ever made. Great reaction.
"I hope" greatest last words in the movie from red
Lil thing: the rock hammer was specifically hidden in the book of Exodus.
When Red comes to Buxton, you comment on how amazing the soundtrack is. Did you notice that it's in this scene, when Red is walking through the beautiful landscape as a free man, that the sound of a harmonica is first heard on the soundtrack?
I just watched it for the first time a few days ago. Honestly… the best movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life. And I’ve seen a lot of movies. The end made me break down in tears. I had to go hug my mom
James Whitmore was a tremendous character actor, nearing the end of his career when he played Brooks. For an early peek at this man's talent, please watch "Them" 1954. The ants are cheesy by todays standards, but a terrific story, and solid cast make it a great watch, even 70 years later. Best reaction CloseUp!
I felt the same way about his movie. It is a human response. A lesson we all need. I have been to Zihuatanejo, Mexico. I'd like to go back again. Wonderful place.
I feel you, George. Shawshank is my favorite movie of all time and I've seen it dozens of times, but the Brooks scene still tears me up every single time. That poor, sweet old man. :(
I could watch this movie over and over again.
This is one of my favorite movies. You should check out The Green Mile. Out of all the reactors I watch, you my friend are by far the BEST!! keep doin whatcha doin.
A movie about hope, and friendship. Two things that should never be underestimated.
Forrest Gump got most of the awards season love but Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption also came out in 1994. All 3 are brilliant in their own ways and essential viewing for movie lovers.
Thomas newmans score in this film is still one of my all time favorites.
This movie will never age
Shawshank Redemption is in my opinion the best film ever made.
Sure I have favourite movies like the original Star Wars ... but when people ask me which is the best movie ever?... I always tell them Shawshank!
Seeing Andy happy and glowing at the end always gets me.
A guy in law school named Ron introduced the title as his number #1 movie and eventually saw the movie. Thankfully, I showed this movie to my father and put this along with Citizen Kane. Recency bias nudges me to always fall back Shawshank from the raw emotion it elicits.
This reminds us not to forget the human side to life and puts our perspective on knowing what's important in life versus what we may believe to be the case. Friendship forged in the confines of a prison can truly last a lifetime. . .
I read this novella in King's "Different Seasons" and I was mesmerized by his amazing gift for storytelling; it's one of his best. The film did the story justice.
One of my favorite movies of all time!! When I was a teen I worked next to the Mansfield (Ohio) reformatory where this movie was filmed. The prisoners were housed in a new prison just a ways from there. I believe it’s still open for tours…
Thank you for watching this with us.
This is one of the greatest movies ever made. I have to watch it everytime it's on TV. Another great movie is "Murder in the First" with Kevin Bacon.
Man, I saw this movie on TV for the first time in the late 90s, and I'm still crying right along with you! Great reaction. And your heartfelt words at the end are so true. We need hope and friendship like this, especially now.
Myself and many others consider this the greatest film ever made.
I agree! The Green Mile, as well as Forrest Gump. You will not regret watching them, and we'd all love to hear your insights. Thank you, my friend....
CloseUp,Brook’s scene breaks everybody down. Makes you wonder how often that is the case. Even if he’s guilty and belonged in prison,still sad
Best film in history, great acting, perfect script, superb narration, fabulous message etc etc.
To get a good idea, my second favourite film is Gladiator but that is only 9 out of 10. Shawshank Redemption is 20 out of 10
I know a lot of reactors have done Schindler's List, but I have to say if you haven't seen it, you must. It's right up there with Shawshank Redemption.
Saving Private Ryan is also tremendous. Hailed by vets as having the most realistic battle scenes of all time. And a great film to boot, based on a true story, stellar cast.
For a deeper cut, I recommend "Patton." George C. Scott
"The Way Back", about an escape from a Siberian gulag
"The Great Escape", based on the true story of a several hundred man escape attempt from a WWII prison camp. Steve McQueen, James Garner and other great stars.
What can I say, I love war movies, and escape movies, especially if they're based on a true story. And road pictures and limits of human endurance stories.
"The Man Who Would Be King" is another soft spot in my heart, not least for the chemistry between Michael Cane and Sean Connery. They became lifelong friends. Based on a Rudyard Kipling book.
Oh! "African Queen"! Bogart and Hepburn
Some great movies listed above, hope it's ok if I confirm one of yours, & then add to it-
The Great Escape
The Sting
American Graffiti
Full Metal Jacket
Blazing Saddles
The Green Mile
Cast Away
The Dirty Dozen
Training Day
Hollywood has a steady stream of garbage flowing out of it, not much new creativity, just remaking old titles, or producing a 'woke' version of classics....But thankfully, whether it's sheer volume ? The odds statistically say, that there will be some really good movies and enjoyed... I think those listed above, are exact that. Hope that you will get to experience those titles.
As ALWAYS, great, thoughtful, intelligent reaction. ✌️
@@yankeerepairs Absolutely ok with me! Full marks for you! And thanks!
I fell like it’s become almost a rite of passage that every first time reactor watches Shawshank Redemption, Schindler’s List, and Saving Private Ryan.
@@robertdurant7934 Shawshank is the best film I've ever seen followed by Schindler's List....😉....these two are far ahead of everything else...
This movie is so wholesome. Hard to explain it even.
My mom showed me this movie. She used to laugh every time Red looks around after finding the envelope. Rip mom
My favourite film of all time.
I love hearing Andy talk about Hope. Puts things in perspective.
Excellent reaction!!!!
Now you MUST watch The Green Mile.
Good Afternoon. Although set in Maine, the prison used was the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. The large main building and Cell Block 1 are now a Museum. They offer tours, can be used for special occasions, and offer overnight cell accommodations for the brave. ( haunted ) The street scenes were primarily N. Main St where the shop owners agreed to have their stores redone to fit the time period. Many still look the same. The halfway house is the Bis
sman Building, and still looks the same today. The store was the E and B Market on 4th Street which has been torn down. I was fortunate to be an extra con in the yard scenes.
The premiere was held at Mansfield's Renaissance Theatre, a restored 1929 movie palace, before New York and Los Angeles.. I also volunteered working the restoration.
The prison was also used in the movie "Tango & Cash", and was the Russian cell block in "Airforce One".
An interesting side note: In the bad winters, crows from 7 or 8 counties move into Mansfield by the hundreds due to large granaries between town and the prison. Brook's crow was a natural.
I am 75 now with Parkinson's and don't get to attend movies. I enjoy the reaction videos on RUclips.
It’s still crazy that this movie bombed in the box office in 1994. It cost $25 million to make and only made back $16 million in its original theatrical run. Over the years it’s obviously made it’s money back and then some. But no one went to see this movie originally
Most human, heartfelt reaction of all . Instant subscribe.
George, thank you for both a highly intelligent and emotional reaction. I'll definitely look for your other reactions.
Incidentally, Brooks was played by one of America's most distinguished screen actors, Richard Widmark. He was 73 when he appeared as Brooks. He lived another 20 years.
And I'll add my recommendation to others' here for The Green Mile. Very different from Shawshank but from the same author and the same director. If you used a box of tissues for Shawshank, bring two for Green Mile.
I’m sorry. Brooks was not played by Richard Widmark. He was played by James Whitmore.
This is my second viewing of one of your reactions, and you did a great job. Your presentation and editing choices are among the best of the reactors I’ve watched. I’ve subscribed to just a handful of movie reactors, and you’ve just become one.
This movie is a true classic, and as you briefly mentioned, the soundtrack is one of the sublime aspects. Thomas Newman is one of the greats. I can usually identify his work after a few minutes, without checking the credits.
Brooks scene caused me so much pain. This unfortunately, is the reality of life most of the time, but hope is the only bridge to a happy ending if there is one.
I read this book when I was 14 years old. I absolutely loved it. When I saw the trailer for this film I was so excited. Stephen King is an amazing writer.
This movie brings so many emotions because it is real. Your soul recognizes truth and the great friendship that brought them all through. There are not "movies like this" as there is only ONE "movie like this". Seeing your response was what I wanted to see most and you did not disappoint. Great reaction and be well. 🙂
THE GREEN MILE - but buckle up and get your tissues ready. You will NOT regret it, I promise. Fantastic reaction! I will be coming back to see more of your reactions.
Top 5 movies ever made, simply amazing
I'm glad you loved it! The problem was that it was not a theatrical success because no-one wanted to see a "Depressing Prison movie" but when it hit video store shelves, people were stunned. A powerfull, sometimes very voilent , cruel and heavy , and sweet movie that will never age to this day. I truly masterful film from the cast and crew👍👍👍👍👍
One of THE best movies ever made!
Also, I can tell from your comments that you are an insightful ane empathetic man. It's a nice quality to see in someone these days.
I was shocked that this was a Stephen King story cause he normally does horror. I put the Shawshank Redemption as my number 1 favorite movie of all times. I read that they originally wanted Tom Hanks to play Andy but he didn't take the part. The mug shot you see of Red during the parole is actually Morgan Freeman son.
I'm glad I stumbled on this channel! Really genuine reactions. Got me in the feels all over again, vicariously seeing it for the first time.
You're right, this is such a perfect film. Top 5 for me. And I actually caught something I didn't catch before, watching this: When you mentioned the score, as Red was walking up to the box Andy buried for him, some harmonica came in. Such a nice touch. Those little subtleties, depth of character, and that convincing environment, I don't think could've been blended any better.
10/10 film, 10/10 reaction! 👍
Matt, I was searching the replies to see if anyone else caught the harmonica in the score. To be honest, I think I watched this 30 times before I twigged in. Well done sir!
@@gordondafoe3516 Haha, thanks man. I imagine it would be pretty hard to catch the first time, much less the first few. I have a bit of an advantage as I produce/mix music, and trained my ear over many years to pick out sounds from the mix. But yea, I've seen this plenty of times as well and only really noticed it just recently. Such a nice touch, and really cool to be able to go back to some of our best/favorite movies and find new things that enhance our appreciation and enjoyment. 🙂
If you think about it, with inflation $370,000US in 1966 is approximately $3,383,798 in 2022. That's a nice chunk of change!
Another great movie that is my personal favorite is Dead Poet's Society.
Yes and yet no. He was almost of age, why not just join an amateur dramatics society?? Hammer/walnut analogy sprngs to mind.
One of the best movies ever made.
Brooks story always gets me...
Ive watched this probably more than 50 times. Im not even exaggerating. I've suggested to this to a lot of friends and of course their reaction were all the same.
Ok dude.
I'm at the end of your reaction and it's probably the best to this film I've seen.
I love this film, I cry every time, I'm a old dude, 50 and quite tough, but SSR melts me.
I get more upset at the end.
Because the reunion between red and Andy is what you just summed up beautifully.
And that's hope..
Its tears of happiness for me, and I've come to realise that hope is a good thing.
Its why it's 1 on IMDB...
One of the greatest films ever made.
So glad I found your channel bro..
I hope this finds you well..😉🤘💙🙏
Still one of the best reactions ever to this movie! Hope you're doing well, and please keep the reaction videos coming as often as you're able! Blessings!
GREAT reaction. I've watched this movie many many times over 20+ years, still get the feels. 💙
Thank you so much for this wonderful review ☺♥. Shawshank is so sad but ultimately uplifting. We all need hope and good friends, especially when the world around us seems so cruel, unfair and unkind. Every day I wake up and hope for a better world, where kindness will dominate and hate will have no place at all.
If you liked Shawshank then you need to watch 'The Green Mile' it is by the same director and Stephen King and is another prison movie. It is another emotional roller coaster with a different twist.
Yes review the green mile please
Brooks gets me everytime.
Now that you've seen Shawshank you must watch "The Green Mile."
It was also written by Stephen King and put to film by Frank Darabond. I look forward to your reaction to the two best movies I've ever seen. Great reaction, one of the best. Keep up the good work, let's help your channel grow...
In 1975, on my 11th birthday, I saw Rocky. From that time forward, I felt that was the best movie I had ever seen. Then, one day, my roommates and I went to see this movie. It was promoted poorly. But, Morgan Freeman was in it, so I gave it a chance. Not bad, huh? ;)
You’re such a wonderful reactor. Your emotional responses always seem so genuine and heartfelt. I’m enjoying this journey with you. Looking forward to what comes next.
