The brilliance of this movie is in how they take you from a happy moment to sadness then to being inspired and then to being horrified….. back & forth, back & forth … it’s an emotional roller coaster.
"I swear, if they don't show us them together on a beach in Mexico, I'm gonna be very disappointed." Funny thing, you aren't the only one who thought that. Audiences actually did not get to see them on the beach together in the original version (I believe it ended with Red on the bus), but test audiences were all upset and wanted to see the two friends reunited at the end. So, the filmmakers went back and filmed that last scene after-the-fact, and we all got that satisfying ending.
She's an actress and a screen writer who works in L.A. It's hardly out of the realm of possibility that she is just good at analyzing and prediciting plot points.
I am an actor and writer, working on two scripts, been on film sets in LA all this last year. This is my job. Taking acting classes and film classes. I’m good at my job! And I take pride in it. I am sitting down to analyze scene by scene, I am not just passively watching a movie.
Fun fact: In the novel version, Red is physically portrayed as a middle-aged white Irishman with grayish red hair. The director wanted Morgan Freeman for the role due to his deep voice and appearance.
Either this woman is like the most intuitive movie watcher ever or she knows the stories of these movies beforehand cuz she picks up on like EVERY detail correctly.
It's my job to analyze films and I do take it very seriously. I analyze the details. head over to patreon.com/colettecherry for all the uncuts where you can see how i better breakdown the scenes
@@turbots. It’s probably snippets here or there. This movie, like a lot of others, are always on tv. Eventually seeing the whole movie without actually watching the movie. I feel bad for reactors like this not watching these growing up, before off hand conversations overheard, pop culture, and other sources subliminally “ruin” a movie for them. There’s plenty of movies I’ve never watched, but I know all the key points to them because of those reasons I pointed out above. I’m a cinephile also. Plus I have an excellent memory. Anyone had a question about a movie, who was in it, plot, etc…., they’d call me. Pre-Internet-in-your-pocket, of course.
one plot hole could be the pipe he crawled out of. Solid pipe for a long distance and full of sewage would probably have too little oxygen for him to make it all the way to the end before passing out and expiring.
@@darrellyounyvski591 Nah, as long as air could get in both ends, he'd be okay. The problem is the spout of sewage when he breaks it. It was clearly full, so why would it drain at all? The end was wide open, so for it to be full, there would have to be a LOT of sewage constantly entering, so it would never drain. The other thing I don't like is the sound it makes when he hits it. That's not the sound of something that's going to break. One day I'm going to overlay a bunch of pre-made scores so it would break with one hit, change the sound, and remove the scene where the sewage sprays up. I might also remove the line "Including her" and cut some of the delay, so he throws the chess piece far sooner. And I don't like the reaction of the guard who checks Andy's cell. If he was hangin there, the guy would see it immediately. Why's he gotta slowly scan the whole cell before saying "Oh my holy God"? It's weird how all the sketchy bits are centered around that one moment
@@ashscott6068 for it to spout up it had to be under pressure so the upstream end was not open to the air plus like you said, it had to be fairly full. That low oxygen environment would not be something he'd make it slowly through for 500 yards crawling.
@@darrellyounyvski591 But it also wasn't under pressure, because after that spout, it was just a dribble. That's the problem: It's gotta be one thing or the other. Removing the spout makes it make sense. And with it emptying into a nearby stream, there's no reason for the whole system to be anything other than entirely powered by gravity.
James Whitmore (Brooks) was a HIGHLY respected actor for decades. His most recent fame came from his one-man Broadway play about Mark Twain. His IMDB history goes back to 1949 (!) and he was a "guest star" in many, many TV shows while I was growing up. A wonderful and consistent dramatic actor.
I read this "short novel" by Steven King in the mid-80's, same book where the movies adapt "Stand by Me" came from. I went to see this film in the cinema, just knowing the two lead actors,....and I realized I read this story. I am from south Ohio, They filmed at an old prison in central Ohio. I lived on the cast of Maine, a few months, where King is from, and this prison is set,. like many books by King. Living in Maine, helped me understand some of King's books. I showed this movie to my Dad, about four years before he died. Dad cried several times, and at the end -he was so happy the two men met, away from Prison.
The biggest mindfuck of this movie is that the actor who plays the hard-ass guard Hadley is the same guy who voiced Mr. Krabbs in Spongebob. Let that sink in.
Clancy Brown. He was the voice of Savage Oppress in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He was in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. He was the drill instructor in Starship Troopers.
I enjoyed this reaction so so much! I read this story before it became a movie. I think it's the best, most faithful adaptation of all of King's works. 💜💜💜
I love how intelligent you are. It’s rare fr you remark all the important and small details and make conclusions with them that are in a lot of case right. We can tell that ur a real actor 🙃👍
I live 30 mins from the old prison they shot this movie at. The tours are so much fun. Every year there is a haunted house there during the season as well as a massive music/tattoo festival in the summer. Mansfield prison is an amazing place.
The subtleties in this film are wonderful. Brooks gets out and looks back to the prison, Red Looks outward, Red rides on the back of the pick up. He sits in the back of the bus. The rock hammer is hidden in Exodus...etc etc Great film and good reaction.
One of the things that I love about Stephen King's universe is that there is almost always a connection between stories. Shawshank State Prison is one of those things mentioned in several books, TV shows, and movies. It gives girth to the world and makes everything seem bigger. I know at the same time Andy Dufresne was locked up, there was an abandoned cell block with one prisoner in a cage. The cage was under the ground. The prisoner was a child who the warden thought was the devil.
Andy is so well-written! He starts out a blank slate who is only revealed through his actions, since we don’t get an internal monologue like we do from Red. He is a very smart man who plans ahead and takes advantage of unexpected events like Hadley’s windfall and the name carving revealing weak concrete, but his instinct to take care of others is developed during his time in prison. You keep thinking that he is building the library to get insight into how to escape, but he’s just looking out for his fellow inmates. I just love to think that Tommy’s wife and baby daughter got an unexpected envelope of cash delivered to them after Andy escaped.
Mrs. Colette, thank you for reacting to The Shawshank Redemption. As I have seen it many times, it's great to see it again with another, I have to say it is my #1 movie.
Wow. You’re getting in on so many key points right now!!!! Just got to you breaking down “hope” super early in the reaction. Also thanks for sharing you have your own experiences concerning the prison system. You never know someone is going through. Awesome reaction so far
May I say thank you for making my day better, with your digressions and observations. I've watched many reactions to this film now and you certainly brought new things to the table. I saw this movie when it 1st came out and it was reviewed not merely on BBC's Film show but also BBC 2's weekly culture programme 'The Late Show'. The 'Sull Aria' scene was the snippet chosen both times (I'll hang my head in shame for despite watching The Marriage of Figaro half a dozen times on Sundays with my parents, I didn't identify it). It got me thinking what piece I'd choose if Fortuna lent a hand. Lastly, may I wish you and yours all future fortune, including whomever made this film more personal for you.
A couple of cool details I realised recently: you hear a harmonica play in the OST when Red is approaching the tree at the end. Also, when Brooks leaves prison the camera is in front of him looking at the prison, but when Red leaves, it is facing out to freedom :)
The most important line in the film are the final two words of King's short story: "I hope." The redemption was red's all along. He is the main character, which is why he narrates.
You know she’s an actress, right? She has her own IMDB page with film and television credits. When someone works within an industry, it’s possible to just be actually good at your job.
@@tfpp1 LOL!😂 She is obviously a really bad actress, when she can’t convince anyone that this is her first watch. If she could foresee every plot twist in one of the best movies of all time just before they happened, I can’t wait to see the magical scripts she’s writing. You know that you’re really doing her a disservice now right? Best thing she could do is probably to delete this “first time reaction” and focus on her career instead.
@ Being able to see something coming has “absolutely nothing” with the quality of her scripts. I predicted the plot twists in Seven and predicted The Sixth Sense from the beginning. And I have nothing to do with the film industry. It’s not that hard bro. What you’ve really done is broadcast to everyone just how dumb you are when watching movies. 🤣
I didn't know you haven't watched this movie. I'm happy to watch your reaction to this as well. as someone who lives alone and doesn't have anyone to watch movies with, watching people's reaction to movies feels kinda like watching it with them, and this brings me joy. thank you for doing this. btw, if you haven't watched 'The Green Mile' watch and react to that too. that's another decades-old fantastic prison movie, by the same writer, and the same director.
New sub just now. I've watched two movies with you so far and it's easy to see the warmth in your heart. God bless you, and stay strong. You can do it. I balled my eyes out again, last night watching Saving Private Ryan with you - . about the 50th time watching and crying when Wade dies trying to take that radio tower. "Mama, mama. I wanna go home, I wanna go home" 😭😭
I too noticed that this story was by Stephen King, one of few non-horror stories. He also wrote "The Green Mile" which is also a great story and film. He really is a talented writer especially when it isn't horror.
@@5353Jumper Technically, it's a novella, as was "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," both being in the book "Different Seasons." I just found out why it was called that, because each of the four stories in it had different themes that had a season in it. For instance, this story was under "Hope Springs Eternal," and "Stand by Me" (The Body) was "Fall from Innocence." "Apt Pupil" was another story in there that was turned into a good movie, but I've only seen that one once. That theme was "Summer of Corruption."
The more reactions of your's I watch, the more I find myself hoping you'll guess things wrong and get more surprises. But you're pretty on point all the time. Have a great day.
Regarding Richmond, Virginia: My 8th maternal great-grandfather, Major William Mayo, laid out the first street grid for Richmond, VA, in 1738. The 14th St Bridge in Richmond was initially named Mayo's Bridge. General Lee's retreating army burned it down in the Civil War after the fall of Petersburg in 1865. A decade earlier, Mayo surveyed & mapped the boundary between NC & VA. The expedition traveled 237 miles west from the cedar post on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean to the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. The map is preserved at UNC Chapel Hill.
It’s a wonderful film that I keep watching. I too love all of the themes in it. The acting is excellent and the locations were soo good. I love your reactions as you dissect them so well
Brooks (the old man), is played by James Whitmore, 160 acting credits over 7 decades, 2 Academy Award nominations, Emmy Award winner, Grammy Award winner, Golden Glove Award winner.
Last name Cherry, here. I've been down the rabbit hole of watching random reactions videos both of this, and Terminator 2, and was delighted to have stumbled across another "Cherry".
Great film. Thanks for your thoughts. I must say you are sharp. One of the smartest reactors to this, or any other Hollywood motion picture. Liking your style a lot. Thanks, Love. See ya on the next. Peace. Later.

Love your reaction to one of my favourite all time films. It's crazy how watching something you love through someone else's eyes can improve your own experience. React to Chernobyl, 5 part series. Congratulations on almost 100k subscribers. You've earned everyone of them.
"I hope..." Beautiful. Stephen King short story but the real credit (in my opinion) goes to Frank Darabont for writing the screenplay and directing the movie.
Hey Colette, shout out from your favorite Marine! What a beautiful reaction! This movie is like Interstellar! Just simply Stellar! 46:56 U ain't kiddin kid! Keep up the love! ❤🤍💙💛
I've read through some of the comments below, but could not find any reply that addressed your shower scene question. That white powder they threw on the new inmates, after spraying them down with water, is "Delousing Powder." It kills lice. The word "Louse" is the singular form of the plural word "Lice."
I highly, HIGHLY recommend The 2002 movie, The Count Of Monte Cristo. The book the movie is biased on is over 150 years old and still one of the best stories of revenge ever written.
The novella's called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. I understand why they changed it, but I always loved the original title. Mainly coz I was obsessed with Gilda growing up.
The best movie of them all - no cheesy love stories, no political correctness, no gay propaganda, no bad Russians, just pure basic human emotions and experiences and the cherry on top, the main motive - friendship and hope!
I thought there were FIVE actors that were "10's" in their roles - Robbins as Andy, Freeman as Red, Clancy Brown as Captain Hadley, James Whitmore as Brooks, and lastly - one of my most reviled cinema villains of all-time - Bob Gunton as Warden Norton. Amazing cast.
This a fantastic movie, I love it, to me, this is the best movie, NEVER to win an Oscar, Morgan Freeman deserved an Oscar, just for the narration in this movie alone.
In the original script at the very end when they meet again, Andy says something to the effect that says to Red "So I've heard you're a man who know how to get things." for a full circle of their friendship.
Hi Colette! Are you gonna be reacting to Arcane season 2? You and “Carli and Ange” have the absolute best reactions to season 1. Getting to watch your journey and see how much you connected to the characters was truly special. I’ll be waiting for the day you post your reaction to season 2 (:
Mega late on seeing this but yayyy this made my night! You’re welcome it’s my honor to remind you to watch peak cinema lmao (: You are NOT ready for act 2 if you haven’t already seen it
Как я рада, что Вы оценили игру Тима Роббинса. Но он действительно просто великолепен в этом фильме. Талантливейший актёр. Мне жаль, что не многие это отмечают. И прежде всего потому, что большинство реакционеров просто не знают об этом актёре. Но его игра несмотря на его молодость просто великолепна. И спасибо за реакцию на чудесный фильм.

"Apt Pupil" was another story in there that was turned into a good movie, but I've only seen that one once. That theme was "Summer of Corruption."
Andy & Red Brothers for life.
I usually never simp, but holy s*, u are a vision, watching my all time favorite movie! Keep it up.
Colette Cherry reaction day always makes me happy
Your reactions are awesome, great job !
What a great movie! Sad but an awesome jaw dropping story! I’m glad you chose this next film !
Hi Colette, The place looks nice😮. Love your reaction to this movie your reactions are always the best❤
The more reactions of your's I watch, the more I find myself hoping you'll guess things wrong and get more surprises. But you're pretty on point all the time. Have a great day.
This may show that there is a major flaw in the movie industry. Too predictable.
Regarding Richmond, Virginia: My 8th maternal great-grandfather, Major William Mayo, laid out the first street grid for Richmond, VA, in 1738. The 14th St Bridge in Richmond was initially named Mayo's Bridge. General Lee's retreating army burned it down in the Civil War after the fall of Petersburg in 1865. A decade earlier, Mayo surveyed & mapped the boundary between NC & VA. The expedition traveled 237 miles west from the cedar post on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean to the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. The map is preserved at UNC Chapel Hill.
It’s a wonderful film that I keep watching. I too love all of the themes in it. The acting is excellent and the locations were soo good.
I love your reactions as you dissect them so well
I love how the warden’s morality deteriorates over time.
Best reaction channel
I recommend "The Great Escape" 1963, "Cool Hand Luke" 1967, "The Count of Monte Christo" 2002.
What we have here is, failure to communicate.
Brooks (the old man), is played by James Whitmore, 160 acting credits over 7 decades, 2 Academy Award nominations, Emmy Award winner, Grammy Award winner, Golden Glove Award winner.
Last name Cherry, here. I've been down the rabbit hole of watching random reactions videos both of this, and Terminator 2, and was delighted to have stumbled across another "Cherry".
You should try watching the green mile as well. If you're going to, bring a lot of tissues.
Based on a Stephen King story, and directed by Frank Darabont, just like The Shawshank Redemption.
Brooks' death was the saddest death in this entire movie, the poor old man deserved better in the world outside the prison
You know he was in jail for murdering his wife and daughter after a bad night at the poker table right?
@@yew2oob954 yes I do, that still makes me feel sorry for him when he gets out of prison but wants to stay
*"Hot dog! you're goin to jail, Babycakes!”*
*"This movie was bleautiful.”*
💕
Simply beautiful commentary, thank you.
Great, Thank you Colette.
Great film. Thanks for your thoughts. I must say you are sharp. One of the smartest reactors to this, or any other Hollywood motion picture. Liking your style a lot. Thanks, Love. See ya on the next. Peace. Later.
The Green Mile - also a Stephen King novel adaptation by the same director, Frank Darabont. Another masterpiece!
The Shawshank is my favorite movie but what really makes me sad is Brook’s death 😢
"The Count of Monte Cristo" is a classic from the 1800's and a great movie aswell. I think it was incidental not specifically ordered.
New subscriber. Thanks for taking it to heart. Great rxn. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your reaction
You have to watch another prison movie called "The Green Mile"😢 Same director(who did shawshank), same writer(Stephen king) And it has Tom Hanks
43:36 The hammer was placed in Exodus because Andy ecaped from being a slave to the warden just like the Israelites escaped from slavery in Egypt and onto their journey to Canaan
This is a truly great film.
Thanks… 💙🥂
Both The Shawshank Redemtion and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are in my top five movies. Both are excellent in every respect.
Good film, but never understood how it gets to people's top.
He (Andy) seems cold and shut off from his emotions." You're pretty good at this. I enjoyed your reaction. You have another subscriber, Colette. 📽🎞💙
This is one movie that I would have liked a sequel. One where Elmo Blatch goes to Mexico, and checks into a certain small hotel.
You want a tear-jerker movie? Steel Magnolias. And it's based on a true story. Sally Fields won Best Actress for her performance in it.
Love your reaction to one of my favourite all time films. It's crazy how watching something you love through someone else's eyes can improve your own experience. React to Chernobyl, 5 part series. Congratulations on almost 100k subscribers. You've earned everyone of them.
"I hope..." Beautiful.
Stephen King short story but the real credit (in my opinion) goes to Frank Darabont for writing the screenplay and directing the movie.
Hey Colette, shout out from your favorite Marine! What a beautiful reaction! This movie is like Interstellar! Just simply Stellar! 46:56 U ain't kiddin kid! Keep up the love! ❤🤍💙💛
Definitely seen this one before 😅😅😅
When the warden opens Andy"s bible revealing the outline of the rock hammer. it opens to the Book of Exodus. Small detail, but a good one.
You definitely are very perceptive..love the reaction…and I’m from VA Beach, VA! Richmond VA represent!!
Oh so cool! Hi!!
I've read through some of the comments below, but could not find any reply that addressed your shower scene question. That white powder they threw on the new inmates, after spraying them down with water, is "Delousing Powder." It kills lice. The word "Louse" is the singular form of the plural word "Lice."
I highly, HIGHLY recommend The 2002 movie, The Count Of Monte Cristo. The book the movie is biased on is over 150 years old and still one of the best stories of revenge ever written.
Unforgiven - Oscar winning film with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman - directed by Clint Eastwood - Fantastic work of cinematic art!
The novella's called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. I understand why they changed it, but I always loved the original title. Mainly coz I was obsessed with Gilda growing up.
The best movie of them all - no cheesy love stories, no political correctness, no gay propaganda, no bad Russians, just pure basic human emotions and experiences and the cherry on top, the main motive - friendship and hope!
For years I’ve sought the answer to that timeless question, “What say you, fuzzy britches?”
Dude Colette how tf do you get prettier every video 🔥
I thought there were FIVE actors that were "10's" in their roles - Robbins as Andy, Freeman as Red, Clancy Brown as Captain Hadley, James Whitmore as Brooks, and lastly - one of my most reviled cinema villains of all-time - Bob Gunton as Warden Norton. Amazing cast.
awesome review- you are fabulous!
This a fantastic movie, I love it, to me, this is the best movie, NEVER to win an Oscar, Morgan Freeman deserved an Oscar, just for the narration in this movie alone.
In the original script at the very end when they meet again, Andy says something to the effect that says to Red "So I've heard you're a man who know how to get things." for a full circle of their friendship.
What a great reaction. Thanks. 😃👍🏾
Hi Colette! Are you gonna be reacting to Arcane season 2? You and “Carli and Ange” have the absolute best reactions to season 1. Getting to watch your journey and see how much you connected to the characters was truly special. I’ll be waiting for the day you post your reaction to season 2 (:
Yes I am watching season 2 right now because of you :) thanks for reminding me hehe. You’re awesome
Mega late on seeing this but yayyy this made my night! You’re welcome it’s my honor to remind you to watch peak cinema lmao (: You are NOT ready for act 2 if you haven’t already seen it
Have you noticed that people recommend The Count of Monte Cristo after this one...? If not I'll recommend it 😂
Как я рада, что Вы оценили игру Тима Роббинса. Но он действительно просто великолепен в этом фильме. Талантливейший актёр. Мне жаль, что не многие это отмечают. И прежде всего потому, что большинство реакционеров просто не знают об этом актёре. Но его игра несмотря на его молодость просто великолепна. И спасибо за реакцию на чудесный фильм.
I'm loving the new hues ❤
