My two-year old thinks your girlfriend asks too many questions!

There is no reason to do a first time watch if you are going to explain every scene. Let her watch then join her for a post movie review.

Thank God she has you...

That young Morgan Freeman photo was actually his son's photo

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 KZfaq.

Andy didn't tell on Boggs. He got protection from the guards for what he did for Capt. Hadley. And the beach at the end was actually shot at Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. And fun fact, the actor who played the fat guy that was killed by Capt. Hadley was killed by the same actor who played Capt. Hadley on an episode of ER. 🤣

I’m watching ur reaction and had to pause it here 30:29. Ya’ll should watch “The Count of Monte Cristo” starring Jim Caviezel from 2002. Highly underrated film. Revenge, Hatred, Jealousy, Betrayal, Vengeance, Redemption, Romance all in one. One of my favorite movies ever :))

As I understand it, when the warden discovers the hole in the wall, only his face was supposed to be seen. But Clancy Brown and Morgan Freeman knew it likely would be the iconic shot of the movie, so they poke their faces in too...

This is my first time watching your channel. The young lady needs to stop asking questions such as is that blood. Just watch the movie and you will find out. You will see what is going to happen if you just wait a bit.

Director Frank Darabont wanted the movie to have a more ambiguous ending with Red on the bus, but the studio insisted on the ending with Red and Andy reuniting, so Darabont compromised and filmed the scene with them reuniting with the camera pulling away.

Scared old man about to hang himself. This dude - this is my favorite part

Tom Hanks was offered the role of Andy Dufresne, but turned it down because he was busy working on Forrest Gump, and James Cromwell was offered the role of Warden Sam Norton, but turned it down in favor of Bob Guntin. They both starred the following year in The Green Mile, another prison movie directed by Frank Darabont and based on a Stephen King novel. Other actors from this movie that appeared in The Green Mile are Jeffrey DeMunn (the Prosecuting Attorney) as guard Terwilliger, William Sadler (Heywood) as Klaus Detterich and Brian Libby (Floyd) as one of the guards who arrests John Coffey. The judge who sentenced Andy was played by John Horton who appeared in another movie based on a Stephen King novel, Thinner. (He was a judge in that movie as well) Several real life prison guards offered to advise Clancy Brown (Hadley) to help him make his performance more convincing, but Brown turned them down because he was playing a corrupt guard and he didn't want his performance to reflect negatively on either of them. The prison scenes were filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory. Both Bob Guntin (Warden Norton) and Clancy Brown (Hadley) got along well with the other cast members. RIP Brian Libby (Floyd- 1949- 2021)

Too much talking through very important dialogue! Otherwise, great reaction.

Good job around the 41:00 mark saying why would he ever get out. Throwing her off.

Fact: Brad Pitt had the role of Tommy before he quit for Seven Years in Tibet

Hope and salvation are the underlying themes of the Shawshank Redemption, and, of course, the Bible is the ultimate source of hope and salvation for all men, which is why the Holy Bible is a another recurring theme throughout the movie. (It is no accident that Andy conceals the rock hammer, which is the instrument by which he achieves his escape and wins his freedom, within the pages of Exodus.) By the way, the redemption is Red’s, not Andy’s. It is Red - the only guilty man in Shawshank - who has lost his hope and faith in mankind during his long years of imprisonment, and in whom hope needs to be rekindled.

Does anyone in here know who Harvey the rabbit is? Jimmy Stewart movie.

"He vanished like a fart in the wind" Her: That fart is *iconic*

That orchestra in the end hits hard

New here. These types of reaction where one has seen it already rarely get pulled off, the other just can't resist. Ol Brooks ended up in prison coming home after another losing night at the card tables, took it out on his wife and young daughter by murder.

You should check out The Green Mile next. Another Frank Darabont adaptation of a Stephen King story.

Great review! You two have great chemistry. Loved all the discussion. #45 Happy to join Team Audience.

Man your girlfriend asked a lot of questions

your dog is so cute

This is one of my favorite movies by far. Thanks for responding to it. That being said, I hate to say this but, I'm going to anyway (!) That's not Mexico at the end. It was filmed in the Bahamas, I believe. Still beautiful, though.

"Its a terrible thing to live in fear" Red and Roy Batty (paraphrasing)

i dont know if was said, but i read somewhere that the ending was supposed to end with red saying i hope, people who saw it early wanted them to see each other in the end...personally i think it couldve ended with red on the bus, thoughts?

great reactions and CUTE dog ngl mine looked like yours 99%

6:39 you ask “so we like him” don’t provide information on the movie. When someone knows you have watched a movie they always ask questions…it’s second nature. Just say, “let’s watch and find out” eventually no more questions are asked. Just voice opinions on what you see. Honestly it’s a small critique as your doing well so don’t take it bad as it’s not that big of a deal. Just hoping it helps. Wanting to get you more followers, however, that’s more algorithmic than anything else.

Being free is the excitement only a freeman can feel. A Morgan FREEMAN!

This all felt like a test: Is my girlfriend/wife a sympathetic person?

Only thing that would of happened is that his room would of been checked on a weekly basis and they would of definitely checked behind the poster

In the 1940's, tax rates were a lot higher due to New Deal policies. After taxes, more than half of that $35,000 would have been lost.

Subbed! Check out There Will Be Blood. One of the best movies ever made about greed and oil. It's about an oilman and his son is all I'll say. But some of the best acting ever put on film. And for a good comedy/mystery, check out The Nice Guys

Tgis is one of my favorite movies 🎬! Thank you for this!

Why did you ruin the reveal of what Andy left? Don’t tell her he left it after, it’s implied it was there the entire time they were locked up!!! 🤦‍♂️

Iconic

not even 10 Minutes in and she says she is confused. I think a man can enjoy this type of movies better, as men take things for what they are and not overthink it like women do.

Best movie ever

Great reaction. Andy doesn't just break the warden & ruin his life. He DESTROYS him on several levels. Takes Everything from him. Ruins his whole world. Makes his legacy of his inside out program into nothing but a crime. But with a Beautiful little twist of the dagger on top. Let me elaborate. You've seen what a religious zealot the warden is. Yes he has broken the 10 commandments more than a few times. But those sins are things someone can be redeemed from. If the warden had accepted his sins & gone to prison, he could've ended up in heaven after redemption by admitting his sins. But he doesn't. He offs himself. That's something in the bible that sends you straight to Hell. Andy doesn't just tear down the wardens job, family, legacy, his whole world. He destroys & makes him lose his most treasured "good trait". His faith in God. Andy breaks him mind, body & soul.

w movie reaction guys

Sadly. Rita Hayworth died from Altsheimer's.

How do you see any of the movie when you talk through the whole thing?

15 subscribers, I am your 16th. :)

You kept telling her what was going to happen at the end.

Dang... missed 420

What century is this based in lol really 😂

Your Girlfriend would probably ruin the fun for me with her constant questioning. How is she even able to follow the story?

Great reaction! Have you both seen the Harry Potter movies? *Asher*

Only thing that would of happened is that his room would of been checked on a weekly basis and they would of definitely checked behind the poster
