Lady in the Grocery store is The 1st Karen lol ✌🏻🧡
😂😂😂😂😂
O.G. Karen!
Everyone calls her a Karen, but no one sees it from her perspective. Last time she was there, the bagger didn't double bag and the bottom near came out. Imagine that. The bottom near came out. Picture yourself in that situation. My God. I think we owe this lady an apology.
Ah yes. Karenus Bitchus. A rare species. If I recall correctly there are only 2 left in the Portland zoo.
Typical 1st World complaint, from an over privileged snob!
😂😂😂😂
Written by Stephen King. He put in an homage to Spider-Man(who had yet to get the big screen treatment),the newspaper in the warden’s office is called The Daily Bugle
Oh wow. That's insane. Spider-Man is my favorite superhero. J Jonah Jameson is the king of the Bugle. 😂
Good catch.
Andy took his own swipe at The Warden's religiosity. When The Warden opens the Bible to see where the rock hammer was hidden, it's hidden in the Book of Exodus...the story of the Hebrews escape from Egypt.
Thanks for that. Never realised that. So many little pieces missed
Yup.
There's an old black and white movie "The Birdman of Alcatraz". Good watch.
They give two life sentences back-to-back because there's always a chance that new evidence could be found that would get one of them overturned (though very unlikely in this case), but they'd still be able to imprison them for life the other one. If it was just one life sentence they'd have to throw out both convictions.
My first time watching your reactions and I just subscribed. keep them coming brother you are a hilarious person to to watch I like your personality. Shout out from Eugene Oregon track town USA and home of nike
11:35 I think in the short stories the movie is based on the character was a red-headed Irish guy or something like that
This is the highest rated movie of all time on IMDb at 9.3.
Cool 😎!
Some mighty fine reactin' and some killer editing. Had a blast watching. "The Big Fresne" 😁
thanks! the biggest shank!!!
Lefty✊….only with baseball though😂
This my all time movie, glad you reacted bro
thanks for watching! Had a lot of fun watching!
When I was studying film this movie came up and for some reason I hadn't watched it until then. When I did, I had to continuously watch it over and over again because I was so enamored with The Shawshank Redemption. I took like, 100 pages of notes on this movie alone during a weekend.
This is a movie I only have fond memories of. I'm glad you watched this classic film.
Speaking of reading books, I heavily recommend the Redwall series if you haven't read them. Total of 22 books, each one being roughly 350 pages each. Read them in release order, not chronological order.
I was waiting for a rest in piss you won't be missed for the Warden 😅 another dope reaction for the MVP of the league 50 point triple doubles, home runs and hat tricks
i don't know how i forgot to say it.
For some reason I have never seen this movie. Now I’m gonna have to watch it start to finish. A special “Thank You” to the MFMVP for turning me on to this movie 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Man its a good one. Totally recommend you check out the whole thing.
This is one of my favorite movies! I really enjoyed your reaction 😌! Thank you!
Already thought of something else,people in prison have tried never take showers but the end up stinking so bad they’d be attacked for that. Not sure how I know this🤪. Nah I heard that one from The great Patrice O Neal
Here’s my favorite cool fact about this movie:
When Brooks leaves prison gates, the camera is faced back towards the jail. When Red gets out, the camera is facing outward towards the world.
Great detail! Two different mindsets.
Good catch 👍🏾!
Great review! Thanks for sharing. This is probably the best film of all time.
I make a mean apple pie. Also a pumpkin & apple (British not the American style of pumpkin pie). Blueberry pie is also excellent 👌
I dont like cherry tho.
Trivia: Initially the studio wanted Tom Hanks for the role of Andy. The director always wanted Tim Robbins, and fought for him, because he knew everyone would know Andy was innocent from the very beginning if he was played by Tom Hanks 😂 he was right!
Most people assumed Andy was guilty at first with Tim. Unfortunately, Forrest Gump won the Oscar for Best Picture instead of Shawshank... So Tom had the last laugh lol. But Shawksank has definitely aged better. Its the GOAT 🐐
1) the white powder they throw over the inmated at the beginning is anti-lice and flea powder.
2) Red's nickname is from his surname, Reddington. In the book, its because he's literally a red-headed Irishman. Thats why Morgan Freeman says that line, as an Easter egg for fans 😊
3) Brooks went to prison in 1905 iirc. I know he missed WW1, WW2 and another war I think with Korea. He missed the mass rollout of things like cars, indoor plumbing and radiators. Its almost impossible to imagine what it would be like missing that many years of technological advancement and cultural history. Brooks was basically dumped onto another planet.
An interesting visual shot juxtaposition: when Brooks leaves Shawshank, the camera is pointing at the prison, as it looms massive behind him. It's taken over his life. But when Red leaves, the camera faces the outside world that he is ready to face because of his friendship with Andy giving him back the ability to hope.
5) The Italian opera singers are singing a song from Figaro, about setting up a plot to decieve a man who has wronged them. Kinda like Red and Andy plotting things under the Warden's nose.
6) Andy gave his new identity the name Randall, so he could go by the nickname Randy. Because it sounds so close to his own name, he wouldn't forget to respond to it 😂 Andy's so insanely clever!
7) Red forshadows Andy's escape method: "shitty pipe-dreams"!
The first time you watch this film, you think the Redemption is Andy's. But Andy was always innocent and good hearted. The Redemption is Red's. He is a murderer, and he truly repents. And he almost gives into despair, but Andy's friendship reawakens his soul to hope and the possibility of a life after prison. ❤ A truly beautiful friendship.
Thanks for all of this! I love details and backstory. I might have to read the book as well. I actually think Tom Hanks would have done a good job on this as well.
Great catches! Thanks for the info 😊!
Loved your reaction Syd. Another beautiful King/Darabont film is "The Green Mile". Please react to "The Magic of Belle Isle" (2012). You would be the first! It is Morgan Freeman's finest performance. Morgan finds hope, and changes peoples lives., especially his own. Hard to believe this film has flown under the radar for 13 years!
I got that one the list. I hope to get to it soon.
New Englander here (Massachusetts). Thanks for the shout out!
From the south, but all of my teams are from there. It's like a 2nd home.
Go Red Sox!
I’m in early to say what you probably already know: one of the greatest films ever made
I can totally see why. Phenomenal from start to finish.
I had my Metro Boomin shirt on b4 I jumped in shower! Love your reaction! That’s just a givin!
✌🏻🧡
Really enjoyed your reaction, Thanks. Looking forward to seeing more from you....
Thanks!
The southpaw shouter-outerer strikes again! I appreciate the update, man. btw Stephen King is a Leftville resident.
I do shout out the lefties lol. My mom and grandpa are both lefties. I've always thought southpaws are interesting for some reason. You live in a right handed world and thrive in it. s/o to you guys!
Im here for a “thumbs up” boost for the channel and comment. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate you.
Best movie i ever saw
This is one of the few movies that are absolutely perfect. If your curious about what Red did, his wife had a large life insurance policy on her, so he sabotaged the brakes on her car, and the next time she went into town, a neighbor and her young child went with her. The car crashed into the town square, killing all three.
Thanks for the info.
This is a movie of personal struggle and triumph against all odds, and that hope is a good thing! Best stephen king adaptation movie of all time!
A lot of people couldn't handle a double life sentence (me included)
A prison break reaction by you would be ELITE
Go patriots!!
Love this movie so much 🥹you should watch the green mile too, it’s similar in many ways! Other movies I’d love to see you react to (if you haven’t seen them): braveheart, Harry Potter, and wicked! 😂
Thanks! I definitely want to check out The Green Mile and Harry Potter.
Gotta check out the Green Mile, another prison themed movie from the same director, Frank Darabont
I want to check it out as well. Its on the list.
you’re funny in general but 29:26 had me on my ass cause fr play that shit 😭
Morgan Freeman better play that damn harmonica.😂😂
Mr. Freeman had an iconic start!! The video is RUclips

Great,great movie
More trivia for you,23 and one only applies to lockdown or going into solitary. I’m sure I’ll think of something else. You’re a easy guy to talk to so I don’t feel weird about it,got plenty of friends im real life and I have this “problem” where I tend to like most people til they give a reason not to. I’m no push over I just genuinely like most people
Celtics - Larry Bird!
Hopefully it's good he says about arguably the best movie ever. 😊
Forrest Gump and The Green Mile should be next.
U start better call Saul?
Im in the process of getting a new computer. It'll be about another week before I can start recording again.
I must have watched this movie a hindered never realized it was a comedy
Pretty sure a life sentence = 25 years depending where you are
This movie flopped, but is recognised by many to be the GOAT, its director, Frank Darabont, also directed "The Green Mile" another Stephen King adaptation, I'd recommend that too!
He also directed The Mist, which is also a Stephen King adaptation.
Hey man you should react to the series Ozark. I think you would like it!
Really hope you consider checking out the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Probably the most popular movie reactions on youtube
How do you charge to do a reaction of a movie?
I will make you a promise... if you watch "edge of tomorrow" and you aren't satisfied, I will send you 100 dollars.
Now I'd prefer you watch the entire series of Mr Robot but it lasts forever. This is a movie. If you dislike edge of tomorrow i will send you 100 dollars and you can lie about it. Good luck.
You will love this movie. You literally have nothing to lose because I will send you 100 dollars if you dislike the movie. An odd juxstaposition.
You know Sidney I have always liked your channel but I despise the Bruins grrrr
Thank you! I'm sorry, but Bruins forever.
Sidneyjacques…. You are a positive reactor
Thank you! 👍🏿
You should review FALLING DOWN with Michael Douglas. Movie from the 90s about the breakdown of American society.
