A clever little detail: When the Warden opens up the bible and discovers the cut-out section that hid the rock hammer, the page he was turned to was Exodus.
Not only that, when he gives it back to Andy. He says “salvation lies within “. A very true statement indeed.
I love the soundtrack choice when Red finds the wall in Buxton: a lone harmonica. Hope kindled.
@@gavinsheridan4680 I never picked up on that. I'll listen for it next time I watch the film again. I love those little details that tie things together in a very subtle way.
Andy also quotes Mark 13:35...little does the Warden know Andy is the master of the house.
Also, after exiting from Egypt in the book of Exodus, the Israelites cross the Red Sea. And in the movie, Andy ends up with Red by the sea. 🤣
"I've decided not to stay. I'll doubt they'll kick up any old fuss."
"Yeah, who's gonna chase a 70 year old fugitive?"
Me: Ohhhhh boy....
It’s always the innocent: „where is he going to go“
That was my thought too. I didn’t want to laugh, but their shocked faces was hilarious
That line, though. Always so powerful. There's two kinds of suicide, but we often conflate them. Brooks wasn't proving anything in some pointless and juvenile display of vengeful pageantry. He was exercising control of that inevitable moment. He "decided not to stay." I respect that.
The Warden's pass out was a cowardly one. Brooks' wasn't.
LOLZ Red is a rebel
Things you need to notice:
1) Red's mugshot is actually a picture of Morgan Freeman's son.
2) Andy hid the rock hammer in the Bible, in the book of "Exodus" (meaning "Exit")
3) Red called Andy's hope a "shitty pipe dream", and Andy escaped through a "shitty pipe".
And when the warden handed Andy the bible after the search he told Andy salvation lies within. Andy had a slight smile on his face when he heard that.
Also, regarding #3 (and even better in my mind): we get one of my all time favorite shots in cinema: right after Andy says "you either get busy living or get busy dying" to Red, we get a wide shot with the prison wall they're sitting against on the right side of the frame. And there's a distinct line of sunlight and shadow that comes sloping down on the backwall, with the light side on the left side of the frame. Andy gets up from the wall and walks from it into the sunlight, Red also stands up but stays in the shadow.
Right here we get a perfect visual representations of both characters mindsets in that previous conversation. Andy was talking about what he wanted to do when he got out of prison, Red was talking about how he was institutionalized and wouldn't survive on the outside and cautions Andy to not let himself get hopeful like that and chase the pipe dream. Andy's mind is already on the outside (because he already knows hes planning to escape that night), so he's completely in the sunlight. Red's mind is still in the shadow of the prison as he's convinced himself he's better off in there.
But then Andy says "Red, if you ever get out of here, do me a favor" and we cut to a shot of Red walking towards the camera and the sunlight. The rest of that convo plays out with over the shoulder shots between Red and Andy as Andy tells him about the rock under the tree. And then right at the end of that convo, we cut back to that same wide angle shot as before and we finally see Red's position in relation to the right. Most of his body is still in shadow, but his head is now in the sunlight. So we get a representation of the little bit of hope this convo instilled in Red's mind; he now has something to do on the outside. And even though he wouldn't have his freedom yet, and is thus still mostly in shadow, we eventually find out that Andy's little treasure hunt is part of what helps Red move on and avoid the fate of Brooks.
From a visual story telling standpoint, that wide shot is phenomenal. And there's few other shots in cinema that I can recall that accomplish so much with such a "simple" shot.
@@moonlitegram Brooks was here / so was Red... Here = the fork in the road. Red was on the same precipice as Brooks. Brooks said goodbye to Jake and set him free. Andy was Red's bird (their feathers are just too bright). But Andy was able to save Red. It was Red who was redeemed. This story is actually about Red.
Red's cell is 237 -The Shining, and the asshole guard is the voice of Mr. Crabs on sponge bob
Way to state the obvious….
You noticed Andy wearing a cardigan (sweater) when he was organizing the new books with the guys.
It was Brooks’ cardigan. 🥺 😢
That scene when the warden hands Andy the bible and says, "Salvation lies within." has a whole new meaning once you've seen the movie all the way through.
I really love the last shot of the movie where the camera zooms out as Andy and Red reunite, as if the movie is telling the audience "ok time to fuck off, you've seen enough, this is their moment"
they almost didnt have that scene! It ended originally with Red on the bus, hoping the pacific was as blue in his dreams, the test audiences were furious, so they bought back Morgan and Tim to shoot that last scene, thank god they did!
@@rebeccagibbs4128 back when they cared about what the audience wanted
@@rebeccagibbs4128 I get that, but the whole point was about hope and perhaps leaving the audience with that hope would be more meaningful, but that last scene just wow
lolz
@@georgechapman9688i dont know why you’re under the impression everything is not focus tested to Hell these days. Its probably worse than it’s ever been.
The bit where the warden has Tommy killed and then follows it up with that monologue to Andy in the hole has long struck me as the moment where you realize just how profoundly evil he really is. To be clear, you weren't under any delusions about him being a good person before, but there was a chance you might've read him as more corrupt than anything. Self-interested and ruthless, using a prisoner to help line his pockets, and so on, but then he has a man murdered. And that monologue is just something else; a villain speech just dripping with evil.
the warden was definitely a devil for what he did
If memory serves in Stephen King's story Andy had a cellmate for a while. The cellmate used to complain about their cell being drafty and having a bad smell. It was a time of stress for Andy. He couldn't dig his tunnel and was in constant danger of his plan to escape being discovered.
You just reacted to the highest rated movie *ever* on IMDB. And now you know why it has that distinction. Every time you watch it from now on becomes more and more meaningful.
"The pacific has no memory" is a reference to sailors and ships that go down. It means the ocean doesn't care. Andy was making a reference to the fact that he no longer cared if they caught him escaping or not. The time has come where he's had enough.
I thought that he meant that once he was there he could live a comfortable "warm" life and be able to forget his years in prison...
“Is he actually going to help?!”
Oh my… oh my sweet innocent summer child…
In swedish language, there is an expression for killing someone literally called "put out someone's cigarette" (fimpa någon), equivalent to "greasing" someone
0:43 to date this is probably the saddest scene I've seen in a movie. I always tear up, the whole mood of the movie changes at this point. The music and the way it flows at that point makes you understand the sorrow.
The look on both of your faces when the warden finds the tunnel is PRICELESS!
first (in part 2)
Watching Simone slowly realize that no, Brooks wasn't planning on running away was heartbreaking.
They were the only reactors I’ve seen that didn’t figure it out sooner as they distracted themselves with the discussion of age, but I think that lead to a bigger shock, when it was finally figured out.
@@tempsitch5632 For all they knew Brooks was just about to change a light bulb in a ceiling lamp.
That made me tear up lol
@@matsv201 What a stupid comment.
Red and Brooks have parallels except for the end result
Congrats… you finally found and watched probably the Greatest movie ever made. It is an absolute masterpiece of film in every way.
I’ve been saying this since it came out in 1995.
Over the years it gained the attention and rewarding popularity it truly deserves. It took about 20years. This film never won an award, but should’ve won them all. Awesome reaction. I enjoyed watching both your expressions to my favorite parts of Shawshank 😀👍🏻
In my mind, I know of no greater movie 🎥
I would disagree with your timeline on how long this movie took to be recognized as a classic. It didn't take 20 years, more like around 1 to 2 years. Not only did it do well on home video, but also the film was in heavy rotation on basic and premium cable. By the time The Green Mile came out in '99, everyone knew about Shawshank, which contributed to its positive reception.
It likely would have won Best Movie at the Oscars, but it had the misfortune of coming out the same year as Forrest Gump. (But I still think this is the better movie)
@@RonJomero This is better than Forrest Gump in almost every conceivable way.
this movie is a game changer b4 995 it was all godfather at 1 and maybe citizen kane, then came shawshank taking #1 in imdb, also gump and pulp fiction making waves.
I like that the other prisoners actually feel bad for Andy when they realize he may actually be innocent.
this has been my favorite movie for more than 20 years. a first-time reaction video pops up in my recommendations at least once a week, and i watch every single one of them because seeing people experience this perfect, perfect film for the first time brings me so much joy. it's been one of the best things about this stupid pandemic and the trend of reaction channels like yours. so i thank you for sharing this with us :)
Mine's this, Green Mile and Gran Torino
All respect to Brooks. He didn't do it rashly, he didn't do it over, "I'll show you, I'll hurt me!" That should be fought against.
He made a calculated and calm decision to bid us goodbye and not to stay. We throw far too much shade on those who've done nothing more than electing to exercise control of that inevitable moment.
14:10 Isn't it _marvelous_ just how well _planned_ this was? Andy didn't just have a plan for how to escape the _prison._ He had a plan for how to escape the _system._ He had a plan for _vanishing_ once he was _out._ And that plan fit _perfectly_ within the confines of the story. Everything he would need, they made sure he would have _before_ he needed it, but in such a way that it was _believable_ but _interesting_ at the time, but didn't really seem _relevant,_ until it ended up being _absolutely central to the plot._
You use italics a lot my god
@@hep_fulla_pep They're central to his post :p
@@BJBee All things in moderation.
I just realized the whole point of the library thing was a ruse so he could get the ability to send letters and make up his alias. Didn't know that before.
@@hep_fulla_pep I also use punctuation. You might give _that_ a try.
In that conversation between the warden and Andy I think the warden was only thinking about one thing- Andy knew enough about the murder and corruption going on in that prison to put the warden himself in prison. There was no way the warden was ever going to let Andy walk out of that prison alive. I think the warden was shocked that Andy even thought getting out was a possibility. Andy was calling the warden obtuse when Andy was the obtuse one. You can't blame him though, he lost his composure because this was his one chance to get his conviction overturned.
I like this scene because it is a scene where Andy does lose composure and lets his emotions "go"...
Red tells Andy at the food table that hope is a dangerous thing and hope is just a shitty pipe dream. Later, Andy, filled with hope escapes the prison by climbing through the 'shitty' pipe to freedom. Later still, Red narrates ' he hopes to see his friend again, he hopes ...' Such an amazing movie
Andy if he had been exonerated was a witness. A credible witness since he had committed no crimes.
He knew far too many secrets to let him go free but he was also to important to just get rid of to keep secrets hidden.
The warden initially got mad at Andy for verbally acknowledging that Andy had been helping the warden in his shady financial dealings. Andy thought that was the reason the warden would be nervous about helping prove andy's innocence (at this point the warden is committing felonies with Andy's help). i think you're right, i dont think the warden fully understood Andy's "obtuse" comment. I think he was blinded by anger at Andy's assurance he wouldn't say anything, recognizing that andy had a little bit of leverage on the warden which didn't sit well at all.
i've never read the stephen king story so i might be wrong
When Red was in the hayfield, George said, "What if he forgot the name of the town?" That was how the Family Guy parody of this, with Cleveland was Red, ended.
You two are quickly becoming my two favorite reactors on RUclips. You're also probably the first reaction channel to start doing truly blind playthroughs, cause Portal had such a large cultural impact, it's only fun if you watch a blind playthrough with someone like Simone. Someone who knows nothing about the game, the story, the memes, the creators, any of it. I hope you guys do other Valve games or Story-Driven games like Tell-Tale games or Life Is Strange. Keep up the great content.
This video is over 2 years old, and I still come here to see Simone's hate-filled death stare at Warden Norton.....😆
11:16 "It s- It sounded like a _fantasy,_ rather than... you know what I mean?"
Andy's an accountant. When accountants have fantasies, it's typically _not_ a problem with imagination.
If you watch the scenes of Brookes and Red leaving prison you'll notice when Brookes leaves the camera's facing the prison and when he's on the bus he's holding the bars showing he's without hope and wants to return to the prison , however when Red leaves the camera's facing away from the prison and on the bus Red is holding his bags as Andy gave Red hope.
8:18 "A _month_ in a _pitch-black room_ with _nothing."_
Except Mozart.
The way the characters were introduced and the impact it had were the best in cinema history in my opinion
The thing about Tommy's learning for a GED and flipping out, throwing the test papers in the trash. I saw the MANY TIMES in school myself, including myself.
In the book, Morgan Freeman’s character was a red haired, white Irishman..therefore the nickname “Red”
Something that's actually terrifying about Andy's escape through the sewer pipe...if there had been any kind of grate or bars across the pipe at any point in that 500 yards-and he had no way of knowing whether there was or not-he'd have been stuck. There was no room to turn around, and it's unlikely anyone would have been able to crawl backwards all the way back to the prison. He'd have been stuck, and probably died, in there. Pure luck that there were no obstructions.
He could have backtracked without turning around but it would have been miserable and everybody would be wondering why he was covered in shit in the morning. Then the plumbing would start leaking everywhere and people would figure out what he did.
How to turn Shawshank into a horror film: There’s a grate at the end of the pipe.
It was absolutely fabulous that neither of you recognized what was happening with Brooks on the chair. So many people I have watched this movie with see him getting up on the chair and know then and there what he's about to do.
I love your reactions!
In the same scene where the warden nearly walks off with the Bible he turns around and as he's handing it back comments to Andy "Salvation lay within". Very ironic that he should say that not knowing what was hidden in there. Andy's message to the warden he left in the Bible also references that statement.
This has always been a special movie for me. Whenever I run into this movie on TV, I will stay with it until it ends. As I say, I have seen the start of this movie a few dozen times, but I have seen the ending a few hundred times!
Me and my brother watch it every year. This and rain man
0:59 Thirty seconds of absolute gold. Pure GOLD.
The scene begins with typical “I know where this goes” chatter then “What?” from George and some unknown version of an unknown word for Simone. Great scene. It’s the next 20 seconds that makes it GOLD.
Strong performance by Simone, as always. But I’ll give the award to George in this scene.
Are you supporting them on Patreon? Do it, because it must be done. Do it, because you can. And if you tell me you didn’t get a dollar of entertainment from that 30 seconds I won’t believe you. And millions will die, too. Go into that water because it must be done.
one of the best films ever made.
yeah the "tossing the cells" scene andy's tunnel was already underway at that point when the warden was in his cell holding andy's bible all hadley had to do was pull down the rita hayworth poster.
Another fun fact, Tom hanks was the first choice for Andy’s character. But he was doing Forrest Gump. Which turned out to be a great movie too.
The picture in the parole file is actually a picture of Morgan's son.
The hammer was appropriately hidden in the book of Exodus
Shawshank is one of 3 novellas in the 4 seasons collection. 2 others Stand by me and Apt Pupol were made into films Stand by me should be reviewed.
*different seasons and *the body.
Apt pupil as well. It draws a stark question of where innocence ends and evil begins.
@@localrogerthats a hard movie for me to watch because of Bryan Singer
I challenge you two to watch "Grave of the Fireflies".
Best in the original Japanese with subtitles, as the main characters were voiced by actual children.
That adds significantly to the visceral impact of this masterpiece.
It's been called the "film you can only watch once".
"A man nobody ever laid eyes on before and with an undeniable faint smell of poop, strolled into the Maine national bank........"
9:22 "Are you kidding me?!?". Not the last time George would say that concerning a Darabont film.
If you look carefully, the volume knob of the record player in the warden's office goes up to 11.
Love Simone's facial reactions!
I love how the Bible at the end was bookmarked to Exodus.
The Warden was right: Redemption did lie within.
*You're married to Simone. You come home late even though you said you'd be there early for a nice dinner together. And when you open the door... You see the face she makes at 9:28
The look on both your faces when the rock went thru the poster - priceless!
Good reaction again guys, but I have to ask why was the after talk so short, or even almost practicly absent? I think most of us enjoy your comments after the movie. It also looked like you've cut them out for some reason, why would you do that? I was a little disappointed as I was hoping you'd tell how you felt about many moments of the movie and maybe discuss many real-life topics that are related to the movie. I hope you include more of your post-movie dialogue in your future reactions.
I absolutely agree. I would like to hear their thoughts more after the movie.
Cool Hand Luke : Paul Newman and George Kennedy
2 things:
1) If you aren't affected by the Brooks scene, no matter how many times you've seen this movie, you're not human.
2) One of the best escape-related details IMO, is when "Randall Stevens" first walks into the bank. When the camera follows him from the feet up, you can see that his pants are too short...the cuffs sit a bit higher than the tops of his shows. Which makes sense, since Andy is several inches taller than Norton, whose clothes he's wearing.
I still have my copy of "Different Seasons" by Stephen King (The book this story was in). 4 stories that were an amazing read. Another one of those stories is "The Body" which a little movie called Stand By Me was based on. I HIGHLY suggest watching that movie and reading Different Seasons.
The cardigan Andy was wearing had been Brooks'
omg! ive seen this like 30 times and never realized that!!
It’s not. Tim Robbins is nine inches taller than James Whitmore was. There is no way that one cardigan would fit both of them
@@markhamstra1083 These are movie costumes. They don’t have to be literally the same physical garment for the film to represent Andy wearing Brooks’ cardigan. After all, we also see Andy wearing the warden’s suit and shoes. It looks like a perfect fit, despite a similar size difference between the actors.
@@JohnK75136 🤣 riiiiight, the film is representing Brooks and Andy wearing the same magic, one-size-fits-all cardigan. Or, maybe that’s just the one style of sweater that is available as prison issue.
@@markhamstra1083 Oh for pete's sake, get over it. Tim Robbins is also significantly taller than Bob Gunton. And yet in the movie we see Andy wearing the warden's suit, fitting him perfectly. Again, these are movie costumes. There's a certain amount of unreality in all movie making.
Oh. And if you really want the end of a spectrum with a Frank Derabont adaptation of a Stephen King novel: "The Mist" (2007)
I'm not saying another word about it. Just watch it
"I hope." Best line in the movie.
9:08 A classic Simone “I f*cking knew it!” moment. Minus knowing it, add a dash of WTF.
Fun fact: Morgan Freeman's younger prison mugshot is his son.
I know I'm late to the party but just in case no one has mentioned it...
The cardigan Andy was wearing was originally the one Brooks wore.
There's another Frank Darabont movie that isn't as good as either The Green Mile or this movie but it's still very good.
It's called The Majestic and it stars Jim Carrey. Darabont was going for a Frank Capra feel and homage to his movies with this one.
Another great movie with Morgan Freeman is Lean On Me, based on a true story and very uplifting. Directed by the same director as Rocky and The Karate Kid. Highly recommend.
Best Regards!
Stephen King can really write characters. Should give Misery a try. Or Stand By Me.
Easily one of the greatest movies ever made . Never gets old
Why is it that none of the reactors to this movie realizes that during the search, when the warden says, "Well. I can't say I approve of THIS. But exceptions can be made," he's looking right at the escape tunnel?
I don't think they ever detail how old Brooks was when he got out of prison, but I do know that James Whitmore (an almost EGOT member... the EGOT being short for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winner... all Whitmore needed was an Oscar; he'd been nominated several times, but never won) was 73 when he performed in this film.
Just as a piece of trivia, the current list of EGOTs includes (in order of the individual completing the EGOT): Richard Rogers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, Barbara Streisand, Liza Minelli, John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Scott Rudin, Quincy Jones, Robert Lopez, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, John Legend, Alan Menken, and Lin Manuel Miranda.
Richard Rogers, Marvin Hamlisch, and Lin Manuel Miranda are actually PEGOTS, as all three also won the Pulitzer prize.
Watching someone watch this movie for the first time is so great! When I was in college, any time someone told me they had never seen it, I would invite them to my room to watch it. I introduced a lot of folks.
The 'young' picture of Red on his parole file...
Morgan Freeman's son
James Whitmore who played Brooks (librarian) was a brilliant young actor since the 1940's... he did Black Like Me (probably his most remembered role) in 1964... would be worth a look.
Just and immensely satisfying film. 100%. It's crazy how many quality movies weren't commercially successful, but became absolutely vindicated by history.
“Brubaker” about Cummins Prison Farm in Arkansas I work there the movie stars Robert Redford and a young Morgan Freeman has an appearance in the film
YES!
12:43 Now consider, Andy has been working on this tunnel since he got the rock hammer. Warden Norton, we, the audience have had occasion to go either _way_ on, but not him. He sized him up right away and he _knew._
"This is someone who does _not_ have my best interests at heart. The good times are the _exception._ The bad times are the _norm._ I must devote myself to making my escape and it's got to work the _first_ time, because I won't be able to take a second _chance_ at it."
14:08 And observe. He had a _whole life_ set up in the outside world, _waiting_ for him, _all set to go!_ Sorry, Warden. Your retirement fund is _gone!_
14:23 Oh, but look at that. He won't be needing it _anyway._
James Whitmore (Brooks) was a very well known character actor. Decades before I was born and I’m 61
In my opinion, this is 1 of the greatest movies ever made. The Green Mile, right there next toi this one. GREAT Post, guys. And thank you for including us as viewers.
Note the camera view between Brooks and Red. One looks Inward and the other outward.
I knew Simone would cry. George crying was a nice surprise. I can’t watch without tears still
Obtuse: not quick in intellect, perception, or feeling. Thick. Not a compliment. 8:24 George left that in there.
Perfecto 👌
even today this movie considered the best movie ever. its crazy it didnt even get an oscar! because of forest gump :D
The part about Andy toting his wall out into the exercise yard is a nod to another movie you should react to...The Great Escape.
The picture used for Red as a young man is actually of his son; Morgan Freeman's I mean, kerk
Absolutely phenomenal reaction! I love everyone’s reaction when they see the hole in the wall. I own the dvd and have seen this one at least 40-50 times. Best movie ever IMO. Thanks again. New follower!
The prison system is filled with criminals lol 8:18
God, this movie is so amazing. And it was an enjoyable privilege to watch the two of you experience it for the first time. (And posted on my birthday, even!) Thank you.
Soo glad Andy made it out of prison and kept his hope, Red was definitely like a brother to him after all this
In the novella by King... Jake the Crow died after being released, because he didnt know how to care for himself....
Steven King is known for his horror (of course) but his dramas and character studies show how good of a writer he really was. He was a terrible director though (go watch Maximum Overdrive for a good laugh at a bad movie). On the other hand... between acting, directing, writing and cast, this is one of the the greatest movies ever made.
15:49 - That's Alfonso Freeman, Morgan Freeman's real life son in that mugshot photo.
I recommend the movie The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). Shawshank referenced this prison break novel.
Just like the switching of antagonists, Red making the biggest character arc in the film made him the main protagonist. This story is simply perfect.
Funny when she said, imagine if he didn't remember the name of the town. I laughed so hard cause family guy did their own version of shawshank redemption, and when Peter got to the tree, he forgot the name of the town lmaooooooooooo
Just a perfect film - one of the best adaptations of a King work too with career high turns by Robbins & Freeman. I love how Red changes his tune about 'hope'. Great choice and your reactions were dead-on w/all the surprises.
@ 17:55 Was noting what you said there about the bible. Also notice which book in there Andy carved the bible out! Exodus, the story of escaping bondage. LOL! Saw your Green Mile reaction and knew you'd like this one. Some really awesome movies to do soon, "Interstellar", the "Jurassic Park" trilogy, The "Back to the Future" trilogy. And if you can't get enough sci-fi do "Minority Report" (2002) one set in the year 2054. ✌️😎
Have you guys ever commented on your relationship/friendship background? How you met? Are you guys a couple? Family? Lol. just curious what your history is.
First time I saw this movie was in theaters, the story captivates you from the beginning, however at the beginning of watching it you think that the plot is about Andy, but once you see it again a few times, you understand it's actually about Red, Andy always had hope, something that Red didn't have from the beginning, but through the movie, Red gradually has it until the end of the movie, great movie
Simone, your face when Brookes passed, it made me cry!
you two are so adorably innocent in your reviews.....I love it.....
Shawshank: Everybody cries twice
The prosecutor and the inmate with headphones were both in green mile
Arguably known as top 2 to 3 movies of all time!
“You do remember the name of the town don’t you?”
Love the shirt Simone :) Oh and ya loved the reaction too, Shawshank is an absolute classic that NEVER gets old
The most amazing tidbit about this movie is that it bombed at the box office. This was before the internet, and the title of the film told you nothing of the plot. It never even won any academy awards.
'.....I hope the pacific is as blue as it has in my dreams...I hope'. Moving words for me.
