I have been a fan of this movie since it came out. It's just been in the last couple of years (since I discovered reaction videos) that I realized he opened it to Exodus! This movie is full of easter eggs!!
I never noticed that, and I have lost count of many times I’ve watched this! It’s one of my all-time favorite movies. The fact that it was Exodus is such a little gem of trivia!!!
My favorite moment of the movie is when Red finds the money Andy left him under the rock, and then frantically checks around him for anyone who might have seen. The man is sitting in the middle of an empty field with only the sounds of birds and bugs, but prison will shape a man.
This was a two or 300 page short story and almost nothing was cut for the film, it just shows you how much screen time is needed to fully adapt a book to the screen. The most major change from the book was there was many wardens over the course of Andy's incarceration, not just one. For the movie it makes sense to have one since that allows you to have a common antagonist for the entire story.
@@SuperSayinSolidSnek Also Red was a white guy. I read the book, but it's been awhile. The Green Mile, The Shinning, Christine, Carrie. Some of his books have made very good movies. some not. I know I left some movies out, but these are the ones who come to mind.
I've watched this movie so many times, but your reaction made me see it with new eyes. I love your laid-back but insightful reactions. So many RUclips reactors think they need to be loud and make jokes all the time while watching. I prefer videos like yours when you only talk when you have something worth saying. Thank you.
Great reaction guys. One of my favourite movies. I loved how you picked up on all the little subtleties. Another interesting detail is when Brooks was getting out, the camera focuses on the prison behind him, but when Red was released, the camera shows the outside world in front of him. I think it implies that Brooks belonged inside and Red was destined for freedom.
Frank Darabont gotta be one of the greatest directors in cinema who's still kinda underated. Between Shawshank, Green Mile, and The Walking Dead thats a goat resume.
Honestly guys the hype around this film is real. The most amazing thing about this film is it wasn't really a box office success, but when it went to VHS Video rental the word got around and it became an utter cult classic watched by millions, it is one of the the greatest films of all time. Great reaction guys we could see you were genuinely moved by it. Incredible to think also that it was only a Steven King short story called Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption and became this epic film. A film of true hope conquers all, a beautiful ending on the beach after all they had been through with a glorious panoramic shot from above. As you love Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul knew you would love this one.
The 2002 version with Jim Caviezel and Henry Cavill is my favorite version; the 1998 Gerard Depardieu version is more accurate, and well-made, but is in French and requires subtitles.
I watch this movie everytime i come across it on TV. Classic Steven King, so many twists and turns keep you locked in. Right up there with Green Mile. Glad you enjoyed it. Keep up the great work ‼️ ☮️ 💜
Red and Andy, two men who would never have met in life outside of prison. Different skin color, different education, place of residence and "class" in the sense of above and below". All that is so infinitely "important" to us humans. They meet each other and quickly become friends, as they recognize each other's true worth. By breaking out, Andy can create a safety net for Red. The new home is also there. As such, Brooks had no network, no friends outside of prison, simply no one and himself a nobody. As if made for relapse or suicide. Is that the point of being released from prison? An outstanding film with outstanding actors.
I get the sentiment and generalization, but I will nitpick as to Red and Andy "never" meeting in life and possibly forging any connection, any friendship. As much as there is no denying divisions of the past ( based on innumerable factors ), the same divisions exist today, yet who knows how many bonds and relationships were real and authentic and tight then, and now. Across class, education, skin tone. If the implication is that there was such tribalism then, it still is a thing today, and I'm not necessarily saying it's all a bad thing, either. ( Perhaps you aren't as well. My gut reaction was that you were over-simplifying and assuming the worst of society when in fact the "good news" and examples of America aren't publicized nor celebrated as much as the bad stuff. Pity. I say we don't bow to the worst of all generalizations and assumptions. The truth, then and now, is more nuanced than that. )
That's one of the things that was magical about the 1980s... I was a construction worker standing in line at 7/11. Ahead of me was a banker in a 3 piece suit, having a conversation with the man in front of him, wearing worn, oil-stained clothes. When the first man reached the cashier, he pulled out a horse-choking wad of cash; he was an oil field worker who'd just gotten paid. But he and the banker talked as social equals. It was beautiful to see.
@@mena94x3Weren't Irish people discriminated against in the US too? Not from there, but I'm pretty sure I've seen "no Irish allowed" black and white photos, just like the ones from the Jim Crow era.
Another little detail is Andy mentions "Harvey the Rabbit" (a 6 foot invisible rabbit from a movie) as being as real as his fake identity, and Red gets an unsigned postcard with a giant rabbit on it. :)
In the movie The Voice said that Geology is the study of time and pressure. That building (prison) was old and apparently the walls became brittle. It takes 600 years when the building is new. 19 years when the building is old. Andy knew about geology.
I've watched this movie multiple times, and watched a lot of reactions to it. I've never picked up on the harmonica playing when Red is in the field. Awesome catch!
"Hope'. Best of things. The central theme in this wonderful story. This story was first written in a novel by Stephen King, containing 4 stories, depicting 4 seasons. This story, originally called "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemeption", was spring, the hope season.
The prison used for filming is in Mansfield OH. Its haunted and tours are available. The opening to Harry and Walter Go to New York was also filmed there.
One of the most impressive aspects of Andy's escape is that he kept it a secret. He was planning and doing all of this to eventually escape, for 19 years, and he never so much as hinted about it to anyone, not even his best friend Red.
Great reaction guys. You were both very perceptive...with the plot, the symbology, the emotions, the message of the film, etc. As another poster mentioned, this is one of my favorite films and I never noticed or connected the harmonica in the score as a note of hope as Red gets to the field in Buxton either. Keep up the good work fellas.
Just found you two and enjoyed watching one of my favorite movies with you. I feel like you watched this from your heads and hearts rather than just giving huge reactions for the camera. Looking forward to more of your content! Great job! ✌💖😃
We appreciate you & your support! We set out to pay as much attention to the films as we can while still remaining true to ourselves (goofy & argumentative w/ each other) as we are in real life! Much love💙
The scene in the library where Heywood is talking about the book hes holding "the count of monte cristo" .... is also a movie and a really good one at that. Recommended watch!
This to me is just about a perfect movie, and I can watch it every year without getting bored of it. Morgan Freeman is the best. The fact it's a Stephen King story is funny to me since it's not a true horror, but it would be a real-life horror if something like that happened to you.
And!!! "Andy blew town with over $300,000 of Warden Norton's money" in 2024, $300K (with inflation) would be about 3 million dollars. I always loved that little fact.
"For what is evil, but the self seeking to fulfill its own secret needs - all that is necessary is that we face it and choose." Master Po from the T.V. series "Kung Fu."
You guys literally make the best reactions!!! I get so pumped every time yall upload. If you would ever be interested in a different kinda movie. The Kings Speech, is an excellent award winner about history and overcoming disability. It's my all time favorite movie. I would love it if yall wanted to check it out
I'm only 27 minutes in and I've decided to subscribe. You guys did a great job editing of as I've watched a number of reactions to this movie, but you're also very insightful. You got the Bible thing. You're just making great comments. Very enjoyable watching this with you. Thanks so much for sharing!
Red was saying that he literally could not perform the function of pisssing unless someone told him, "yes go ahead "....that's how messed up he was from the inside
My favourite movie of all time, and this could be my favourite reaction of all time! Great idea to watch and react to it guys, loved seeing you trying to work out possible outcomes… as for the movie, such an original plot but great twists and turns to keep the watcher transfixed… little fact : the movie originally had bad reviews and went straight to dvd, it was by word of mouth that helped it become one of the most loved movies of all time. Power to the people!!! ✊🏻🤓✊🏻
I've watched this movie so many times, and possibly around 100+ reactions, and I NEVER thought about the "sh*tty pipe dreams" LMAO GREAT reaction guys 🙏
Great video as always Another movie reaction I've been watching lately is Stand By Me. I'd like to see you gentlemen's reactions. It's also another Stephen King non-horror story
love youre reactions. U always have such thoughtful things to say. i cant even think about Brooks without tearing up. the fact the bird never showed up...heartbreaking
I love seeing these movies vicariously through others again. Closest I can get to seeing it for the first time again. This one and LOTR are always a rite of passage movie for any reaction channel. Starwars original trilogy too... everyone is always so surprised by how good that actually is. If you haven't done it yet, that'll be another subscriber surge just like this film. Shout out to Brooks, Tommy, Red and Andy.
I've seen thousands of movies in my life. I have to say this is in my top 100 for sure. Maybe top 10. Thanks for your work and I hope the best for you on your endeavors.
10/10 reaction vid. I love a great movie with a perfect cast that makes you think, and this has always been a favorite. Can see how it moved you guys, too. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things...and no good thing ever dies.
One of my top 3 movies of all time! Love your reactions. You rarely miss anything and are so locked in... love that you noticed the harmonica in the score near the end! For as many times as I've seen this movie, I never caught the "shitty pipe dream" line.
I remember reading Stephen King's It and one of the first thing's Pennywise the clown does is kill a witness in Shawshank Prison, that blew my mind because I love this movie and I didn't know it was connected to the King universe
So glad y'all enjoyed Shawshank! One of my all time favs for sure. It's one of the few quality films made from a Stephen King story :D Perfectly casted, top notch acting, writing and directing.
@@indianikit741 Ya, few and far between, hah. There are a number of "decent" films from his books (Running Man, It, Maximum Overdrive, Misery, etc), but the majority are pretty bad (Langoliers, Thinner, The Stand, The Mangler and so on)
Ugh, I hate that I miss the premiers from the start. I'll have to come back when it's done and watch. Brooks makes me cry every.single.time. I ❤ that you two are watching this. One of my favorites.
You know you can just start a premier at the beginning and close the live chat. Basically the same thing as watching the final video :P Maybe mobile version makes it harder or something I dunno.
It was filmed in an old maximum security prison in Mansfield ,OH! My wife and I go to a rock and tattoo festival called Inkcarceration that is held not only on the same grounds, but right next to the prison! Tattoo festival is inside, you can tour the prison, and there are 3 stages of live bands playing just outside for 3 days!
Best reactors I've seen so far. Listening to every detail instead of talking over the movie. Well done! The both of you are te ONLY ones so far to catch the shitty pipe dreams reference. Definitely subbed for more.
Mann dude, y'all are super perceptive. Never noticed the "shitty pipe dream" foreshadowing, or the harmonica note at the big tree that I guess symbolizes Red rediscovering his outside-the-prison identity. Great reaction, good work.

Ive seen this movie so many times and this is the first time I ever noticed the Harmonica playing when Red went to the field. Awesome!
Same!
Same. Damn. ❤
he was locked in!
Me too! That’s why I love reacts
You're right. I never put that together! Great catch, Da Kids!!!
I love how when the warden opens the Bible where Andy was hiding the rock hammer, it opens to Exodus. How fitting.
You were right Warden, Salvation lay within.
His judgement cometh and that right soon. Mic drop
I have been a fan of this movie since it came out. It's just been in the last couple of years (since I discovered reaction videos) that I realized he opened it to Exodus! This movie is full of easter eggs!!
What's in Exodus that represents the hammer?
@@marxvargas7697 Exodus is when Moses led the hebrew people out of Egypt by the will of God.
I never noticed that, and I have lost count of many times I’ve watched this! It’s one of my all-time favorite movies. The fact that it was Exodus is such a little gem of trivia!!!
Andy Dufresne…’Get Busy Living, or get busy dying’…….best quote of the movie

@@BrodoTG nope, movie hasn't even barely started ....phone out not looking at screen.....missing opening monologue ....total brain elsewhere .
I love the touch that the hammer in the Bible was stored in the Exodus chapter.
Impressed that they realized right away that the hammer was hid there.
me too
Exodus, escape.
Salvation lies within (the hammer).
This movie is perfection. So many scenes that encapsulate it. For me it's the ending, especially the last two words - "I hope." Great reaction guys.

Never caught that one before. Thought I had figured out all the clues. Ty.
The part with Brooks makes me cry every time.
RIP Brooks!!
This was the only part of the movie da kids didn't see coming also. "I've decided...not to stay." "Wait what??" 😥😥
Andy was the most dangerous man in Shawshank, and nobody realised it due to his demeanor
It be the quiet ones!
I was seriously thinking how movies arent made this good anymore. Hit me in the feels, every time
Definitely agree, there hasn’t been many films that we can say will be classics or will stand the test of time these last few years.
You guys are awesome. Subbed. NEVER had I heard that harmonica. You guys actually caught so many little details that so many other miss.

I remember reading Stephen King's It and one of the first thing's Pennywise the clown does is kill a witness in Shawshank Prison, that blew my mind because I love this movie and I didn't know it was connected to the King universe
You two had one of the best reactions.
This means a lot to us, much love💙
You guys are great.
We appreciate you💙
I was just searching to see if you had reacted to this. so glad you finally did! One of my all time favorite!
So glad y'all enjoyed Shawshank! One of my all time favs for sure. It's one of the few quality films made from a Stephen King story :D Perfectly casted, top notch acting, writing and directing.
Carrie, Stand By Me thats it?
@@indianikit741 Ya, few and far between, hah. There are a number of "decent" films from his books (Running Man, It, Maximum Overdrive, Misery, etc), but the majority are pretty bad (Langoliers, Thinner, The Stand, The Mangler and so on)
Ugh, I hate that I miss the premiers from the start. I'll have to come back when it's done and watch. Brooks makes me cry every.single.time. I ❤ that you two are watching this. One of my favorites.
You know you can just start a premier at the beginning and close the live chat. Basically the same thing as watching the final video :P Maybe mobile version makes it harder or something I dunno.
this reaction was so calming, man yall caught on some real points
We are happy you enjoyed the reaction & much love💙
Great reaction choice boys! Almost at that 20k!🎉
Appreciate the love!! and we are so closeee!
This is a fantastic movie, I have seen it many times, and never get bored of seeing it, it's the best movie NEVER to win an Oscar.
@@wolfie35p amazing movie from start to finish!
10/10 was on point! Definitely one of the best movies ever made!
Andy and Red are my favorite besties of all time
You probably didn't realize when you started watching Shawshank, this is one of the greatest movies ever put to film.
It was filmed in an old maximum security prison in Mansfield ,OH! My wife and I go to a rock and tattoo festival called Inkcarceration that is held not only on the same grounds, but right next to the prison! Tattoo festival is inside, you can tour the prison, and there are 3 stages of live bands playing just outside for 3 days!
That’s gotta be an amazing thing to experience, both the festival & Shawshank prison!
Best reactors I've seen so far. Listening to every detail instead of talking over the movie. Well done! The both of you are te ONLY ones so far to catch the shitty pipe dreams reference. Definitely subbed for more.
Mann dude, y'all are super perceptive. Never noticed the "shitty pipe dream" foreshadowing, or the harmonica note at the big tree that I guess symbolizes Red rediscovering his outside-the-prison identity. Great reaction, good work.
Dear Warden salva salva salva lmfao 😂😂😂😂 too funny lol great reaction guys I'm subscribing now lol
Great reaction as always, lads.
Much love to you💙
Great reaction! Loved the first library scene with the grown up crow Jake!
We appreciate you & it surprised us but put into perspective how long Andy was already there
