FAQ: (Questions that are asked to me OFTEN, will answer here)
Q: Why is the video in TWO Parts?
A: Copyright reasons. I can show more of the movie to you guys within multiple parts. Depending on the movie I might do THREE parts or sometimes just ONE.
Q: Why is a small portion of the video completely muted?
A: Copyright reasons. Sometimes I get hit with copyright claims AFTER the video has already been posted, my only choice is to refute the claim but if KZfaq denies it, I have to either take down the video or mute the small portion they are claiming. If the video has been up for a while, it is much easier for me to mute this small portion in the YT studio and then unmute it months later after people aren't watching the video as much.
Q: Why is the movie not as loud as I want it to be, why can't you show more of it uncut?
A: Copyright reasons. Notice a pattern here? Most of your questions will likely be answered with some type of copyright related reason.
Q: Why is the movie footage flipped?
A: Again, copyright reasons. I am watching the movie the normal way, it is only flipped for the video.

Bit of symbolism for you when Brooke's leaves prison the shot looks back into the prison showing he has no hope and wants to return but when Red leaves the shot goes through the gate showing Red is ready to move on since Andy gave him purpose, it's the same with the bus scenes Brooke's is holding the bars where Red is holding his bag.

Oh, such a good movie! Love it. Little trivia: in the original Stephen King novella, Red is actually an Irishman, described as 'a kid with a big mop of carroty red hair' when he arrives at the prison in 1938. But Morgan Freeman is obviously a great choice for the role, even if not 100% fitting the physicals. And I love that they left the line about him being an Irishman. :)

I don't know if you do comedy, but Tim Robbins was in a movie called Bull Durham (1988). It's about two minor league baseball players: one, an up-and-coming young pitcher, Nuke LaLoosh, who's bound to make the majors if he can stop being a screw-off (Robbins), and an older guy, a catcher on his way down, Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) who is assigned to teach Nuke what the game is about and what life is about. Also part of the "team" devoted to getting Nuke to straighten up is an older woman, Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) who likes young men and baseball. The script was written by Ron Shelton, who was a minor-league ballplayer himself. He also wrote White Men Can't Jump and other movies that are about sports, but even more so about men.

I hadn't actually thought about it, but I never wondered why the real reason Brooke's didn't rob the grocery to get sent back. It's a great example of prison fully doing what it intended to do: rehabilitate inmates. Brooke's did not want to commit crimes anymore but at the same time, he was so old at that point, there was nothing else left for him. It must be an ethereal feeling to be trapped in the middle like that.

For another outstanding Tim Robbins flick, I'd suggest Bull Durham, also starring Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon. It's ostensibly about a minor league baseball team - the Durham Bulls. But it's really a meditation on a whole lotta other, more philosophical things. Costner's best, for my money.
