Red: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.
I agree. This is the only channel that actually has the courage to choose different reactions instead of just having them all layered around the frame of the original footage with a cacophony of voices surrounding it.
Red was in prison since June 1, 1927 (on note we can see date). Andy escape in 1967. He went to jail before WWII. Coming out just before first Woodstock Festival. How much US changed since then It is crazy. Over 40 years. Brooks was another great example in movie of how culture can change.
@@momo198000they aged him out of the system just like they did brooks.....the old men can go get sick and die on their own dime. Remember these are convicted criminals....the writers talents getting us to empathize with them. For the hiven situations they encounter.
Notice the big swallow that Red takes after finally telling the board how he really feels. After having summoned the resolve. Fantastic acting Mr. Freeman.
never thought a stephen king movie would make me cry so much. this & the green mile. sooooooooooo emotional. he does make stories that aren't scary. very few.
what is amazing about that scene is that when Red stepped out off prison gate, the gate been behind him out of the scene and he facing the world. Totally the opposite of Brooks who the gates was looked behind him in the scene which indicate that he is still prisoner on his inner self.
My friend was an extra on this film. He tried to get me to go but i was in college and too busy lol. He came back eaxh day and told me about getting to play catch between scenes with the "Grim Reaper" from Bill and Ted, aka William Sadler. I have now regretted not going for decades.
You can tell how weary all of the reactors are leading up to this parole hearing. That is some masterful filmmaking as work, really getting you in Red's world. Holding up the "Person of the Year" mirror at you Lebowski!
The thing I love about this scene is it's kind of a double situation. First it's that Red is no longer saying a rote response, and is now speaking from the heart, BUT it's also a new parole board. That in the wake of the amount of published, and public corruption that got exposed, the government of that state, likely did a MASSIVE purge of the "good old boys" within the correctional system, and installed people with a more humane outlook on corrections and prisoners. So the combined aspects helped to finally free Red.
There's just something so beautiful about watching these reactors be happy for Red. The way Morgan Freeman delivers that speech is also amazing, if not melancholic.
When Brooks was released the camera was pointed with the prison behind him as in he'll never be free from it and Red is released the camera shows him walking through with the open space in that he's truly free and never looking back.
What I love about these parole board scenes...first they say, "Sit.", like to a dog. Then, "Sit down.", slightly more respectful. Then the last, "Please sit down." Also, there's finally a woman on the board instead of a bunch of old white men. Shows the progression of the civil rights movement, I'm guessing. Great filmmaking.
Thank god I saw this movie a hundred times because family guy ruined it for me in a kinda good way. 😂" I had sex with yo mama and if you let me out I swear to God ima kill again" APPROVED 😂🤣
The most telling thing about this video is how silent all the reactors are when Red is giving his speech. That's how you know you've made a good movie: when an entire legion of people who aren't even from your generation decide they're going to shut the Hell up and listen to what you have to say.
I'm still not sure what that word means, myself... 🤔 Lol, in the movie, the people sitting at the desk never actually explain what the word means... but at least he got his parole 🙌😆
One thing Ive noticed that alot of reactors forget to mention, or just totally miss, is that during Reds last hearing.. it wasnt just old white men like in all the previous scenes
@SerbianLifter997Film makers don't add things for no reason. The world progressing outside of the prison was one of the themes of the movie. He was finally being judged by a jury of his actual peers. Don't become a snowflake any time race gets mentioned, snowflake.

Hey! That's just what Red said in the video! 😉
There are a lot of YT channels that make reaction videos, but yours are honestly the best. The best edited, the most thoughtful.
I appreciate that.
I been saying that for awhile now....great work...as always!!!@@YoureMrLebowski
absolutely correct
I agree. This is the only channel that actually has the courage to choose different reactions instead of just having them all layered around the frame of the original footage with a cacophony of voices surrounding it.
Yes.. the best man
I love how board changes thru the time and along attitude
"Sit"
"Sit down"
"Please sit down"
never noticed the change in language. 👍🏼
Newer, younger parole officers. Even a woman parole officer. New attitudes!
I think it due to the prisoner age .. Red is may be in his 60s ... So he is old enough to be talked with some attitude of understanding.

Sam: "Do you think he'll go to Mexico?
Daniel: "I hope so!"
Hope is a good thing....
Maybe the best of things
And no good thing ever dies.

Frank Darabount si good with stephen king stories
I'd watch The Shawshank Redemption every time it's on TV.

i bet so. but, you do have this story. bittersweet, but still a connection.

Damn man you're the best mashup artist ever!
More Shawshank redemption, The Godfather, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
Most people think his changing of his words got him parole but mostly it’s because he had served 40 years not 30 or 20 as before.
When Brooks was released the camera was pointed with the prison behind him as in he'll never be free from it and Red is released the camera shows him walking through with the open space in that he's truly free and never looking back.
This is definitely one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever!
What matters, is that he (we) learn as we go. Nobody's perfect, we're, for the most part growing as individuals.
Never truer words have been said in cinema.
What I love about these parole board scenes...first they say, "Sit.", like to a dog. Then, "Sit down.", slightly more respectful. Then the last, "Please sit down."

Do one where he does the same tasks Brooks was doing. Working, staying in the same room, carving the wall.
You better make a reaction comp to his after prison struggle and then journey 😅 this is in my top 3 favorite movies. It's perfect from start to finish
Yes! 👌
Thank god I saw this movie a hundred times because family guy ruined it for me in a kinda good way. 😂" I had sex with yo mama and if you let me out I swear to God ima kill again" APPROVED 😂🤣

Like they say...honesty is the best policy.
So you go ahead and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Cause to tell you the truth, I don't give a sh*t."
APPROVED
I'm still not sure what that word means, myself... 🤔
Lol, in the movie, the people sitting at the desk never actually explain what the word means... but at least he got his parole 🙌😆
Now you gotta do the ending.

Lmao some folks only see race. One day maybe you will learn.....maybe.
There was a woman too
You need to do the ending man
agreed. 👍🏼
