In my view (and, I believe, that of many others), the movie is about “hope”. And it is Red who is redeemed. Remember that Red said that in prison hope is a dangerous thing. Andy took a different view, as witnessed by his letter. And remember what Red says at the very end. “I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.” So, Red’s hope has been restored.
Yup, and that's why the whole beach scene is unnecessary. Bus disappears over the hill + fade to black + roll credits = gg. Or MAYBE include the flyover over the water, but that's it.
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers The beach scene is great. It creates a lot of joy when people watch it. Sometimes it's good to witness the fulfillment of hope.
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers Nah, the final scene where we see them reunite is absolutely essential
@@fad2679 Nah it's totally irrelevant. Plus without it, they leave the door wide open for an entire sequel just of Red's journey.... think about it.... Otis Redding's journey across the United States.... in 1968...... after 40 years in prison....
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers certain movies aren't made to be sequels. This is higher Art, not your average trash movie.
"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really: Get busy living, or get busy dying.” You're damn right...
This film is 90% quotable, remarkable.
@@krisfrederick5001 this was beautiful - “I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
@@liivreacts It's poetry on film, I could listen to Morgan Freeman read a phonebook.
I don't think the title refers to Andy. I think it refers to Red. Andy was innocent. He did not need to be redeemed. It was Red who was redeemed. Red was guilty of the crime of murder. He took a life. Through his friendship with Andy and the assistance he provided, Andy was able to escape from a terrible and unjust fate. This was an act of restoring a life that had been unjustly taken. Through this act, Red is redeemed and becomes worthy of life as a free man.
Yup, just like in American Beauty, where the Beauty is actually Angela, who discovers herself at the very end, shown in the brief moment where she turns away from the mirror. But if you read about that movie on the Wikipedia page, she isn't even mentioned until the second paragraph of the plot section.
You’re right about Red. However, Andy also felt a need for redemption. Not from the crime which he didn’t commit, but from his feelings of guilt over his marriage falling apart and resulting in the circumstances of her death.
I believe the title is even more literal. Andy redeemed Shawshank itself. He made the prison better. The prisoners who knew him all seemed to be better people and the corruption was driven out.
"I guess I just miss my friend"
😭😭 every time
Top tier cinema - iconic, moving, timeless.
I had to put this line in
@@liivreacts I think you're the first reactor to this that I've seen include it, so extra points and kudos.
I love the look on Andy's face when he is swiping the warden's files. He is in this movie for an hour and a half, but he looks like a badass for exactly four seconds.
He wasn't just keeping his rock hammer in the Bible. The hollowed out section it was in starts in the Book of Exodus. "Salvation lies within"... it sure does.
Also, earlier in the movie, during the toss of the cell, the warden was holding that book and quoting from it, then gave it back to Andy after Andy also quoted that book(to prove that he was a silly religious fanatic like the warden, to gain favor) when the warden was about to leave.
Had the warden opened that book it would've been game over.
@@OriginalPuro ^guess that means that Andy D. had/has VERY cool balls?
@@OriginalPuro yup that's the double meaning Andy packed into the quote. Andy's salvation, the rock hammer, was inside the bible while the Warden was holding the bible in his hand. So the warden uttered that phrase while unknowingly handing the bible-encased hammer back to Andy.
That's why the warden's expertly-portrayed slack-jawed shock at the realization, is so satisfying. If you watch that scene closely, you can see the life starting to drain out of the warden before even dropping the bible, as he "imperceptibly slumped" (to borrow a phrase uttered by another great actor in another underatted classic film) before he even took a step toward the desk.
@@OriginalPuro I like to think the warden's failure to open the book is a commentary on other so-called "religious" people of his ilk. So many people who claim to know the Bible inside and out have never actually read it, only skimming it to find passages that suit their worldview.
A couple of things you need to keep in mind while watching this movie, and the story about the prison and the guards.
1) The time period that the movie takes place in.
2) The region of the country in the USA that it takes place in.
I think you'll love the movie "The Count of Monte Cristo". The book was mentioned in this movie. Kinda similar premise, lots of twists, great acting.
agreed. that movie is hardcore awesome.
When Red tells Andy going to Mexico is "shitty pipe dreams", it foreshadows Andy escaping through a pipe of shit to escape.
omg, i never caught that before. good job. 👍🏼
The shit pipe is part of a tour of the prison in Mansfield Ohio you can see the wardens office the yard where Andy and red talk and the BROOKS WAS HERE/SO WAS RED carving in the wall
Captain Hadley, the captain of the guards, is actor Clancy Brown. Among many other things, he's the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob.
I prefer to remember actor Clancy Brown as Ace Space Mechanic "John Danziger" of the TV show "Earth 2" (1994): ruclips.net/video/nH78lkmkBpY/видео.html
"He crawled through half a mile of sh!t and dug a hole for 20 years. Is there anything this man will not do?"
Murder, apparently.
Unfortunately, the big tree towards the end was struck by lightning in 2011 and partially split. It seemed to hang on for awhile in a poor state succumbing to rot until strong winds finally blew it over in 2016.
Lovely movie trivia that probably made the local news. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the wonderful cameo, old tree.
@@Docjonel It made international news, actually. I recall watching the news in South Africa and seeing this report about the death of a tree. I’d seen the movie by then so it made perfect sense and I knew why this was worthy of a slot in the bulletin.
12:46 "oh f**k! he's a bastard!"
you're a very quotable reactor 😆
When that last piano part kicks in on the "So Was Red" theme I'm usually blubbering.
Warden Norton is perhaps one of the most hated characters in all movie history.
Actually, his name is Bob Gunton, today he's 76, sweet as sugar, and he's also a highly decorated Vietnam War veteran with the 101st Airborne.
This movie is a rewatch must. There are so many things that take on new meaning on rewatch. "Salvation lies within".
12:47 “Aaww fawk he’s awe bahstahd!” Love it.
Thank you for sharing LR. Really enjoyed it. Keep up the talent and drive.
great reaction Liv. beaming was the perfect word.
the guy who played elmo did a hell of a job convincing he was crazy
Actually Red got his redemption. Andy just provided the hope to see him through.
Andy just put tape on the outside top corners so when he escaped it just fell back in place and was also strong enough to take the force of the rock going through it
Fun story, for me anyway, I live about an hour away from the prison this was filmed at. You can take tours. Guided or unguided. It's in Mansfield Ohio. If anyone is ever in the area, I definitely recommend the tour.
You are a brilliant reactor. I was nodding along with all your comments. Fabulous stuff Liv. Enjoyed that.
My favorite subtlety: Andy hides the rock hammer in the book of Exodus.
Great story with amazing actors = masterpiece. Well done Liv! Oh and btw, love the shirt.
The rock hammer was in Exodus and it was the "salvation" that "lies within".
So glad you enjoyed the movie Liv it's truly an amazing film with as you now know has just the best ending 🥰 no matter how many times I watch this movie the brooks scene gets me every time 😥 . Fantastic acting by everyone and just simply outstanding storytelling. Your reaction was wonderful I enjoyed it very much so huge thankyou to you Liv
as a few people has commented on other peoples reaction on shawshank redemption.
Just imagine sitting in a prison from 1905-1955. What happened during those years?
The airplane had been invited only 2 years prior. Very few cars existed, Henry ford started producing the T-ford in 1908, so it was after that cars became more of a thing.
2 world wars has passed, alot of changes in the political world with changes in the colonial society and world politics started to grew.
Just imagine entering prison with 0 cars, and airplanes barely able to carry 1 person and some mails.
And then exiting prison with 500k cars everywhere, and they don't even need a horse to drive it, airplanes to take you all over the world.
I would go crazy aswell!
Not sure how you didn't shed a single tear at Brooks Was Here. I've seen this movie hundreds of times and still cry at it. Lol.
Brilliant Movie
I never thought about it until watching your reaction.
The letter writing is a subtle way of telling the viewer that Andy is willing to make the hopeful effort daily - he’s in it for the long haul.
He’s digging his way out, one day at a time. Literally and figuratively.
Thanks for making me see that.
I acted in Shawshank for two months. Great experience.
15:34 great reaction. you can she shock and joy at the same time. 😳😁
"You can fuck right off". LOL
friendship and hope= beautiful movie, your reaction was refreshing
GGs Liv once more for the amazing job you've done. I trully enjoyed the video and this is one of my all time favorite movies and you really got to the point with the comments. Mod approves and is very proud
I always thought the Shawshank Redemption referred to Red's metamorphosis due to his contact with Andy
Frank Darabont adapted 3 Stephen King stories, this movie, The Green Mile and The Mist. All three are incredible for different reasons.
I always make this comment on these reaction videos. The camera angles and shots are very good because Tim Robbins is 6'5". You don't see him towering over everyone.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
What a fantastic reaction!!! Really, what else needs to be said🙂🙂🙂
Though, to be honest, the warden was straight forward right when you meet him: "Your ass belongs to me", and he means it 100%.
Zihuatanejo is the name of the town 😊
1:26 ... YES! It's a PENITENTIARY meant to find Prentice!?
You could feel this one inside your heart!
They did cover the trial at the beginning of the film.
How did the pipe Andy broke through have pressure when the end was open? What would Andy have doe if there was an iron grate welded over then end of that pipe?
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies....is what appears time and again in this great movie, Andy never gives up hope, Red has given up on it but reclaims it through Andy, he discovers his humanity if you will. As for the discussion below about the ending I believe Frank Darabont did have an ambiguous ending, but the studio said to him that after what the audience audience had been put through for 2 hours they deserved a reward that satisfied them and Darabont did it and has as far as I know never regretted it. One reason why its become a great film and says something about the human spirit even though it did little when it was released (for many reasons) but got watched when TV entrepreneur got it played on his new movie channel and word of mouth spread the new to the video rental business and a legend was born.....
Subscription earned!
Notice the hammer is in the book of Exodus which means escape
♥
I'm glad you loved it Liiv!!!!
See Ya' on Twitch!!!!
Take Care!!!!
The original ending was Red in the bus and just driving but some audiences thought that was not complete so they shot the ending you see In the movie for a better story arc
Corruption meets string theory 🤣🤣🤣
Glad you finally watched this. Can you believe this movie bombed at the box office when it came out. It was a flop. It has since gone on to be considered one of the best movies ever made.
Lots of the best art is barely noticed when it is first produced.
"The Shawshank Redemtion": A tale of Hope, Friendship, and "The Count of Monte Cristo"! 3:01 Andy Dufresne, ace financial advisor since 1949. 7:04 Compare the difference between Brooks' and Red's views of Parole. 8:01 An Aria from "The Marriage of Figaro." 10:10 "Randall Stevens." 10:33 I have the greatest respect for GED students. 15:05 A little known song for Andy Dufresne: ruclips.net/video/5-fcvnYDEJ0/видео.html 18:42 Red's last word on "rehabilitated." 19:42 A song for "Red," on his way to Zihuatanejo: ruclips.net/video/i1LvlKvr3B4/видео.html
There are guards in all their work details. You need to look at the background in the scenes. The Stephen King novel gives more information about the prisoners.
Movie is about hope. Andy gave Red the hope Brooks didn’t have, kept him going.
Liiv,
Thank you for such an insightful, intelligent reaction. This is the first of yours I've read, and it won't be the last.
I wrote the following before I noticed that others had already expressed the same point of view...that the redemption was actually Red's, not Andy's. Andy had nothing to atone for. Red, on the other hand, had committed a murder and had spent decades in prison denying it. At the last of his pitches to the parole board, he finally told the truth and redeemed himself. Unusual for the movie's title to refer not to the main character but to the secondary character...but I think that's a little piece of the film's brilliance.
The first time I saw this , it was very fishy for the warden to bring Tommy out at night alone
One of the best movies ever made. I truly hope you also consider watching "The Count of Monte Cristo" (2002, with Jim Caviezel). Amazing movie
12:38 hold that thought for just a second... 😠
Case is usually considered closed after conviction, yes. His lawyer probably didn't think an appeal was worth the effort.
Best movie ever about staying positive no matter what, love the reaction.
It's not a hotel it's not called a room it's called a cell sweetheart; inmates call it their "house".
When the Warden hands Andy back the Bible and tells him "Salvation lies within"...not knowing the hammer was in there... epic writing.
Andy has back-to-back life sentences; he's never getting out.
The warden was using Andy to launder his ill-gotten gains... basically profiting from slave labor. That's why when Andy started telling the warden he wouldn't talk if released, the warden took it as a threat.
I have a DVD copy in my home and Stephen King did a great work for this story and the book
The most unrealistic thing in this movie is Andy fitting into the warden’s shoes!!!
red was redeemed...
"...is there nothing he won't do?"
"There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. " - Ambassador G'Kar, "Babylon 5"
To follow the theme of long-game plans of criminals you should watch [assuming you have not already] Ocean's Eleven or Usual Suspects.
Too beautiful 😁
to this day it’s #1 on imdb
You are so adorable, especially with your accent.😚
Without Hope , One has Nothing.
Another fun fact morgan Freeman narrated the movie first then they filmed it around his narration
start this vod and hit the quick rewind on the double tap. hi hi hi hi hi hi friends
The short story is worth reading to or listening to on audiobook.
Kept his hammer In Exodus
Heh. Adapted from a short story from the greatest horror author known, to date.
This movie is... a lot. Everything starts off rather bleak but Andy never gave up, just keep working to his goals.
When you were "oh the warden is really going to help" I was like... no wait for it.
Really enjoyed the reaction.
To be fair, the book had 3 wardens and the movie took bits and pieces of each to make a composite character
1:52 mostly corruption
Please watch Snatch 😊
"Why are they just picking on him?"
They aren't just picking on him, but his abuse is the only part that is relevant to the story. Red implies near the beginning that they've been at it a long while before Andy arrived.
What’s a nutter? I’ve never heard that term miss!
love your cute british accent ")
The greatest movie of all time!
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but lost 6 to Forrest Gump.
Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Nicolas Cage, and Charlie Sheen were considered for Andy.
Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, Paul Newman, and Gene Hackman were considered for Red.
The film was a moderate success making $73 million dollars against a $25 million dollar budget.
It made it's TV Debut on TNT and TBS in 1997. It sold over 320,000 copies on VHS, becoming a cult classic.
oh wow what an insane year for cinema! I had no idea it went head to head with Forest Gump at the Oscars. It certainly deserved to be up there
@@liivreacts Pulp Fiction was also nominated for Best Picture that year.
Lol there are somany movies better than this.
@@chiragdahiya3669 to you maybe, you’re having a little problem accepting other people’s personal taste, Adolf. Take a break, just say you disagree and keep moving 👋🏻
Your accent is so adorable! 💋💕😍
A really good Stephen King film adaptation is The Dead Zone.
$370,000 back then would be close to the value of ($700,000 something dollars today) and when you have that amount in Mexico you might as well can times that value 2-3 times
370,000 in 1966 is about the equivalent of 3.3 million today.
Andy was livin large.
You’re too freakin CUTE! Missy!❤
I can't believe after watching half the movie that you actually trusted the Warden when they shot the guy outside. How the hell have you gotten this far in life omg!
Why is it so hard to believe that he dug for 20 years he had nothing but time to do it, what freakin planet are you from?????
You have just watched the best movie ever made and the best friendship ever seen on a film. This is the first time I see the reactor not cry watching it though.
I was too happy and relieved we did not have another green mile on our hands!
@@liivreacts that is true 👍🏻
bro this is not the best movie ever made .There are so many movies you can find better than this.
@@chiragdahiya3669 yes it is and no there aren’t. See? I can do that too, did I change your mind? Well, you didn’t change mine either, Eva Braun. Nazi much? I don’t care 👋🏻
One of the greatest movies ever.
NO WAY! IMDB = lies made by the mob!
Frank Darabont, who scripted and directed this, seems to have a knack for Stephen King adaptations. He also scripted and directed The Mist and The Green Mile. They're all good, but personally, I think Shawshank is the best.
I prefered "Brubaker" over shawshank redemption.A movie put together in 1980, starred Robert redford. I reckon it paved the way for many movies of this genre..coincidentally morgan freeman was also in this film...
How did you react to this in 22 minutes?
could be a record 🙂
