Hey everyone! Thank you SO much for all the amazing feedback on this reaction! 🎉 I've noticed a few comments pointing out that the movie audio and video are slightly out of sync. My apologies for the technical glitch! 🙈 We’ll make sure to double-check everything in future videos. Appreciate your understanding and support - it means the world to us! ❤
I saw a video about facts about this movie 🎬 and it said they created the river of 💩 💩 using chocolate syrup and some other tasty ingredients. It's on RUclips. Check it out.
Really glad you guys did this one. My favorite film ever. It's quite literally a PERFECT movie. Also, after you watch the movie a few times, you realize that Redd is the main character. He's the one who makes the fundamental change through the movie from beginning to end.
English isn't my mother tongue but I'll try decoding what delousing means. I believe louse is the singular form of lice. They're making sure no lice enter the prison with the new prisoners.
Wonderful reaction ladies. I think you hit all the right scenes and the right notes. That scene where Red finds the money and note from Andy under the tree is a personal favorite, and Morgan Freeman's narrative particularly at the end is sublime. Let's all get busy living.
It's considered one of the best films ever made . My daughter was on vacation near the town mentioned in the movie, Zihuatanejo, which became a tourist stop due to the film
''i'd hate to deprive you of this, Salvation lies within'' my favorite line and scene of this movie. andy had his rock hammer hidden inside the book all along and the warden never opened it.
@@FurbyPurrsonit also is a hint to the hypocrisy of the Warden who preaches religion but never opens the Bible (as you would gather from his many heinous actions)
Young ladies, I am a 71 old pensioner and still watch this Master piece film. Glad you understand the meaning of the film. Redemption, Love, Friendship and HOPE. Rated as one of the best films ever made. Dave in Guernsey, Channel Islands.
Excellent reaction from you both! You might be surprised to know that during its first theatrical run, this movie didn't last very long. In fact, we missed it because it was gone after just a few weeks, and so, we had to wait for it to be released on tape (VHS!). It was only in the later years during the VHS (and then DVD, and later Blu-Ray) days , that it developed such a huge following. During those years, Shawshank used to be on TV on different channels from time to time. Whenever I stumbled on the movie during such runs, I would stay put and watch it till the end. That's why I have seen the start of this movie maybe a few dozen times but have seen the end a few hundred times!
I could listen to Morgan Freemen read a phone book, this film is a masterpiece. The most heartbreaking scene, is Brookes waiting alone for Jake in the park. And he never comes. That's a never ending pain. Andy finally taught Red that hope is not such a dangerous thing -Brookes was here
This movie is perfect. You feel every emotion and are left with a beautiful ending that still leaves it up to the viewer. They could've embarked on so many more adventures👍🏼
This is one of my repeat films. ❤ When I see it playing, I stop and watch, no matter where it is in the story. I always wonder what would have happened if the warden actually had a piece of a heart and allowed Andy to get a new trial. When Andy's cell was emptied for the next inmate, they would have found the huge hole in the wall. Heh.
You need to see "The Green Mile". Frank Darabont directed both "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile"; people usually react to both of these movies. Green Mile stars Tom Hanks. Highly recommend this!!
6:37 Alfonzo Freeman, Morgan Freeman's son, provides Red's parole photo's. He's also the "We're reel'n 'em in" guy in the crowd when Andy arrives. Some external locations show in the film are actually inside or near the prison. Brooks' and Red's room in the Brewer is actually a room inside the prison, and the rock wall and tree are located near by. The owner of the property sold most of the rocks, and the tree was damaged by a lightning strike but still stands. Over half of the prison has been torn down to make room for another prison. Only the forward section remains.
Okay start off love reactions love vibing through other people's eyes how have you only started like 7 months ago like I was enthralled every point every corner of the whole mystery you guys are awesome sauce
"HOPE IS A GOOD THING, maybe one of the best thing. I hope this letter finds you. etc". This movie is my favorite all around movie EVER made. It is my number ONE for sure. I always watch it if it is on some random channel.
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 Bissman Building, and still looks the same today. (It was a beer distributor, hence the name "Brewery") 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 volunteered working the theatre 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 that used to be between town and the prison. Brook's crow was a natural. The passage of time from the unfiltered Chesterfields to the filtered cigarettes offered Tommy by the warden, and the subtle aging of everyone is superb. Many people miss the subtlety of when Brooks left the prison, you see the prison through the gates, and when Red left you are looking forward over the fields toward the town. And they don't notice when the warden opens the Bible and finds the cut out, that it is the book of Exodus! I am 75 now with Parkinson's and don't get to attend movies very often. I enjoy the reaction videos on RUclips.
Great movie. I love that it’s really Red’s story more than Andy’s. Another really good movie with Tim Robbins is Arlington Road. Nobody ever reacts to it but it’s awesome with an incredible ending also.
Allan Greene was Brooks. Subtleties. Andy's hammer was hidden in Exodus. (an escape from bondage) . Red sat on the back of the pickup truck and the back of the bus heading South. Treatment of Blacks in the day. Masterful film and the best reaction I have seen. Kudos to you two! . "Shit pipe dream" and escape though a shit pipe! Pressure and time is very salient!
You will also love and need to watch "The Green Mile"! (Starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan!) Sort of an answer to "The Shawshank Redemption"! Both stories written by the great Stephen King, and both directed by the great Frank Darabont!
Ohh I had "The Green Mile" on my watchlist after a few people recommended it when I watched Forrest Gump recently. But I didn't realize it had a connection to this movie as well. I definitely need to watch it soon!!
This is one of three Stephen King stories that director Frank Darabont adapted. You MUST watch The Green Mile. Also a prison movie but a very different one. Tip - have tissues nearby.
He’s also one of the few people who have never seen the Shawshank redemption even though he was in it. He said that he can’t watch himself act because he’s too critical of himself and he just thinks about all the things he wishes he had done differently when he first started acting and would watch himself acting.
@@willdallas53 Right and the Warden actor said that that character is totally opposite what he really is and it was really hard for him to play that character.
Not a reader of books but I envy those who enjoy them and even so I have to think someone who writes such a masterpiece that being Stephen King, he has to be among the G O A T club!!?? Great Reaction Ladies!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
My favorite film of all time. I'd also like to add that not everyone that's in prison is there for murder, so some people don't have long sentences, only a year. It's the state's job to protect the inmates, plus they get money for every inmate that they house there. His name is Red, because in the book he's Irish.
@@BennyBlancoNL In the movie his last name is Redding (as I recall, it's on the shots of his parole form). So the character name of Red still makes sense, as well as allowing for his joke about being Irish.
Hi girls, great reaction, and end of movie reaction you got it spot on im 60 years old, and can remember when the movie came out, before your time, it was the time of video films that you rented, at the box office, the movie did not do so well, from the critics and so on, like yourselfs, decades on, it gained traction through word and mouth, people started to rent the film, tell others, some people may have bought it, probably a pirate in thise days, some would buy it, and then copy it to another video cassette and sell them for a couple pounds a go, $2.00 if your from america.
I never noticed to watching this today with you guys.He got the bullets inside of a rag with the gun and he had just a few bullets to fill the gun. He wouldn't have bullets to reload.
Hey Daisy and Ivy I’m new to your channel and you guys did a great reaction to a great movie and like I said love your reaction. Keep up the good work and I’m definitely a fan. 0:03
WOW. I thought about this after watching. I think if I see a movie taking place in a prison, my opinion of the characters is largely influenced by the crimes they committed. But in this movie, I felt like I grew to love these characters for who they were as people inside the prison, not for the crimes they committed outside - BUT I also didn't even know what most of them were in for. Knowing what Brooks actually did inevitably makes it hard to reconcile how I felt about him, with such a horrible crime he committed. This is such an interesting story overall, so thought-provoking! Anyway, thanks for watching with us!!
@@DailyDaisiesTV Red, the narrator has planned and carried out his wife's murder by disabling her brakes, which accidentally killed a neighbor and child as well 😳
@@DailyDaisiesTVI still love him nonetheless. You shouldn't judge people by the crimes they've committed. Even if you don't they deserve it, everyone deserves a second chance.
The warden was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Ever read The Count of Monte Cristo? It is A-MA-ZING!! Quite a few parallels between it and Shawshank. It’s a masterpiece! Has just about everything. Read it UN-abridged Alternate ending: Andy’s letter: You remember the name of the town don’t you? Red:.......AW CRAP!
You guys are off to a great start, audio glitches notwithstanding. I just wonder if you truly understood the story because so many people get this wrong. Who do you think got redeemed? This is an allegorical story and the innocent man who was wrongly accused, who brought hope to a world of sinners and escaped by staging a suicide fake-out, passing through Hell, and ending up in Paradise, leaving behind a document that invites the one who loves and believes in him to follow him to Paradies, should be easy to name. I have not looked yet, but if you have not reacted to The Green Mile, You really should. It is a very similar movie in some significant ways and very different in others. reacting to it soon and comparing the two will add depth to your understanding and raise the quality of your discussion. It will help you to stand out in a crowded field. (Just my 2 cents)
6:00 - You two are far from the only reacters to think that maybe the prison inmates were gathering to WELCOME new convicts so I shouldn't be surprised....yet I always am.
I like you ladys so I subscribed. May I also recommend 12 angery men if you like this movie. It's black and white and abit older, but it has a great story, and keeps your interest with great cast of actors for the time, trust me you will love it
And where in the Bible did Andy place the rock hammer? A very suitable title page, I think you'd agree: EXODUS!!! Andy had a great sense of humor! I like to think that Brooks is no longer alone in that rooming house room now that Red left HIS message!
The audio and video are out of sync. Had to tap out a few minutes in, unfortunately. Any chance of getting that fixed because I'd really like to watch, but that tends to drive me crazy. 🥴 Much ♥️ all the same.
Clancy Brown who plays Byron Hadley is the same guy who voices Mr Krabs on SpongeBob. He has said in interviews that he loved the movie but he hated his character😂
My only complaint about the story is Stephen King's assertion that Maine bankers don't know or recognize the villain in their state's banking industry. "Andy" would be recognized even 20 years later by any bank executive OR employee that has 20 years' work experience. Maine's senior bank officer may have totalled 500 if every small bank was included, and certainly in the Big City banks. Which was where Andy worked.
If you're open to black n white older films, Gilda is a great one. It was Rita Hayworth's defining role. So much so that she partially blamed her lack of success with men on it saying that all the men want to go to bed with Gilda but in the morning they wake up to me.
Hey everyone! Thank you SO much for all the amazing feedback on this reaction! 🎉 I've noticed a few comments pointing out that the movie audio and video are slightly out of sync. My apologies for the technical glitch! 🙈 We’ll make sure to double-check everything in future videos. Appreciate your understanding and support - it means the world to us! ❤
You have to follow this up with "The Green Mile" starring Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan.
Just curious, did you have the same video with the wrong year, then fixed it? I accidently downloaded both videos,😂😂
hey dd, i'm making a reaction mashup for the ending of Shawshank. Let me know if you'd like to be included.
@YoureMrLebowski hey there, sure! is there anything I need to do?
@@DailyDaisiesTV when i leave info my comment is removed. it's at my place.
maybe code words work
"I guess I just miss my friend" gets me in the feels every time
I love that the warden was so careful to make sure Andy couldn’t see the code to the safe…and Andy didn’t need it to screw him over. 😂😂😂😂
I never realized that!
Red: “This is a shitty pipe dream….”
And then Andy escaped through a shitty pipe to realize the dream.
I saw a video about facts about this movie 🎬 and it said they created the river of 💩 💩 using chocolate syrup and some other tasty ingredients. It's on RUclips. Check it out.
They should have called the movie that
Really glad you guys did this one. My favorite film ever. It's quite literally a PERFECT movie. Also, after you watch the movie a few times, you realize that Redd is the main character. He's the one who makes the fundamental change through the movie from beginning to end.
Redd was incredible, I loved seeing his evolution throughout this movie. Amazing story! Thanks for watching with us!
I'm proud to say, I acted in Shawshank for two months, the summer of 93. I was at the prison just last month for the 30th anniversary. ❤🎉
That's very cool. Must have made some great memories.
@butkusfan23 great pics as well. I have a metal tray and cup from the mess hall scenes.
That's awesome to be part of cinema history.
What scene were you in ?
"I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel." - Morgan Freeman
English isn't my mother tongue but I'll try decoding what delousing means. I believe louse is the singular form of lice. They're making sure no lice enter the prison with the new prisoners.
Correct
Your English is good! (I'm English.)
lol brilliant burn
Wonderful reaction ladies. I think you hit all the right scenes and the right notes. That scene where Red finds the money and note from Andy under the tree is a personal favorite, and Morgan Freeman's narrative particularly at the end is sublime. Let's all get busy living.
would never pass up watching a reaction to this movie. a classic at this point
What I learned: Never call anyone obtuse 😢
GREEN MILE next, ladies
The delousing- if i spelled that correctly.... powder at the beginning
was for body lice.
Ohhh I see! We were wondering about that
It's considered one of the best films ever made . My daughter was on vacation near the town mentioned in the movie, Zihuatanejo, which became a tourist stop due to the film
It is rare to find anyone who has not seen this movie, and the scene where Andy escapes, so, it was refreshing to see both of your reactions.
''i'd hate to deprive you of this, Salvation lies within'' my favorite line and scene of this movie. andy had his rock hammer hidden inside the book all along and the warden never opened it.
you'll also notice that the rock hammer was in 'exodus'
@@troublemethis17 i guess exodus also had people?
@@FurbyPurrsonit also is a hint to the hypocrisy of the Warden who preaches religion but never opens the Bible (as you would gather from his many heinous actions)
It's worth noting that Andy kept his rock hammer in the Bible starting in Exodous. Love that...
Young ladies, I am a 71 old pensioner and still watch this Master piece film. Glad you understand the meaning of the film. Redemption, Love, Friendship and HOPE.

I’m an older fellow and reactions like these makes me feel like the younger generation really cares about us.

just fyi, the audio for the movie is out of sync. it didn't deter too much from the reaction though.
we ran into an issue with the export, and noticed it after the video was live :( thanks for watching with us though!
My favorite movie of all time. The hammer being hidden in the book of Exodus is the greatest Easter egg IMO.

7:35 The white powder is to kill lice.
That's what they meant when the guard said "de-louse them".
When people mention their favourite film, and it isn't the Shawshank Redemption, I think they haven't watched the Shawshank Redemption
I believe this is the only movie to get a 100% rating on IMDB, greatest movie ever!!
Its not though 😅. Usuals suspects is.

Did you notice the sound of a harmonica when Red is moving along that rock wall towards the tree?

“That’s a shitty pipe dream”. That’s foreshadowing
😂holy shit-30 years, I never picked that up.
I'm not crying you are!
Keep doing a great job.
The money Andy stole from the warden, adjusted for inflation, is about $6 million today.
The full title, per the Stephen King novel, is "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption."

Great reaction ladies! And it was Tommy not Johnny.
Allan Greene was a friend of director Frank Darabont who died of AIDS before the movie was released.
The first thing the parole officer says to Red is ''twenty years of a life sentence''
The movie was filmed at the retired Ohio state prison in Mansfield Ohio.
You can tour it.
I suddenly have an urge to do a Rubik’s cube.
Actually, scrap that. I’m suddenly having a crisis about how to spell Rubik’s cube
Andy was playing chess the whole time, both literally and figuratively.
The reaction by you two for this movie is the best that I have watched. Keep up with your reactions to other movies. Ty
Notice it starts at Exodus.
Ah, Rita Heyworth and the Shawshank Redemption. One of Stephen King's best works.
Oh and just a FYI...it IS as blue as in Morgan Freeman's dreams. ;)
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Red last name is Redding, thats why he is called Red. And black people can be 'red' , redbones.
How do you feel about watching movies about true stories?? Please consider watch We Were Soldiers by Mel Gibson or hacksaw Ridge with Andrew Garfield
I truly believe that Morgan Freeman's performance in this is the greatest of all time. I challenge anybody to change my mind.
Sorry, Daisies, but the audio and video from the film are way out of synch.
The rock hammer was hidden in the Book of Exodus, the story of a people becoming free.
I've been loving this classic for 30 years now but I never bothered to ask why Brooks did 50 years. He killed his wife and kid.
WOW. I thought about this after watching. I think if I see a movie taking place in a prison, my opinion of the characters is largely influenced by the crimes they committed. But in this movie, I felt like I grew to love these characters for who they were as people inside the prison, not for the crimes they committed outside - BUT I also didn't even know what most of them were in for. Knowing what Brooks actually did inevitably makes it hard to reconcile how I felt about him, with such a horrible crime he committed. This is such an interesting story overall, so thought-provoking! Anyway, thanks for watching with us!!

How would you know that? Where does it say that?
@@raid_or_die8962 Stephen King's novel provides an answer
The warden was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Ever read The Count of Monte Cristo? It is A-MA-ZING!! Quite a few parallels between it and Shawshank. It’s a masterpiece! Has just about everything. Read it UN-abridged
Alternate ending:
Andy’s letter: You remember the name of the town don’t you?
Red:.......AW CRAP!
Now they need to find a couple of senioritis and live happily ever after.
You guys are off to a great start, audio glitches notwithstanding. I just wonder if you truly understood the story because so many people get this wrong. Who do you think got redeemed? This is an allegorical story and the innocent man who was wrongly accused, who brought hope to a world of sinners and escaped by staging a suicide fake-out, passing through Hell, and ending up in Paradise, leaving behind a document that invites the one who loves and believes in him to follow him to Paradies, should be easy to name. I have not looked yet, but if you have not reacted to The Green Mile, You really should. It is a very similar movie in some significant ways and very different in others. reacting to it soon and comparing the two will add depth to your understanding and raise the quality of your discussion. It will help you to stand out in a crowded field. (Just my 2 cents)
6:00 - You two are far from the only reacters to think that maybe the prison inmates were gathering to WELCOME new convicts so I shouldn't be surprised....yet I always am.
I like you ladys so I subscribed. May I also recommend 12 angery men if you like this movie. It's black and white and abit older, but it has a great story, and keeps your interest with great cast of actors for the time, trust me you will love it

Clancy Brown who plays Byron Hadley is the same guy who voices Mr Krabs on SpongeBob. He has said in interviews that he loved the movie but he hated his character😂
Yeees! The Internet knows by now...
My only complaint about the story is Stephen King's assertion that Maine bankers don't know or recognize the villain in their state's banking industry. "Andy" would be recognized even 20 years later by any bank executive OR employee that has 20 years' work experience. Maine's senior bank officer may have totalled 500 if every small bank was included, and certainly in the Big City banks. Which was where Andy worked.
So that’s why he went Mexico!
When this film comes on in prison....everyone is very happy...it's great (and 3hrs long)
Please react to the Green Mile on the channel please 🙏 same director and also written by Stephen King. Great film bring tissues.
When Red tells Andy that going to Mexico is “shitty pipe dreams “, it foreshadows Andy crawling through a pipe of shit to escape.
You would enjoy the original story. It's very different because you are in Andy's point of view. But it's still incredible.
I don't think they can make a film like this anymore. Maybe after the great Human reset . Who knows .
In the event it hasn't been mentioned, did you notice the hammer cut-out in the bible began in the Book of Exodus?
If you're open to black n white older films, Gilda is a great one. It was Rita Hayworth's defining role. So much so that she partially blamed her lack of success with men on it saying that all the men want to go to bed with Gilda but in the morning they wake up to me.
