In 2000, four of us were going onboard a navy ship and the gangway collapsed. I fell thirty foot into the harbour, smashing most of my lower body and breaking a lot of the upper body. I saved a girl's life even though badly hurt, but I proved to people that I worked with that I wasn't what they thought I was. They didn't think I would react in an emergency, then they thought I wasn't strong enough to recover. Yes I walk with a limp and I'm in constant pain. But, like you, if I want sympathy, I'll find it in the dictionary between shit and syphilis. Keep fighting, and don't let the bastards grind you down. The girl concerned thanks me for saving her life, but as I tell her, she gave me my life back.

Like these Hardball Field of Dreams Iron Giant Red Dog

@@James_Loveless None of those will be at the top of the list. The most watched/recommended tear jerkers will be a lot of Tom Hanks movies... Green Mile... Forrest Gump... Saving Private Ryan... Cast Away...

They will spoil it by telling her she's gonna cry so she won't because she will expect it.

i have a few movies in mind :D

I prefer to remember actor Clancy Brown as Ace Space Mechanic of the "Earth 2" (1994-1995) TV series. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK5na8-c0tGmoI0.html

Just fixed at the top I Imagine.

@@wesleyrodgers886 I don't know how, Just fixed at the top would work. In the tunnel his hand would always be between the poster and the wall, no connection. If he pulls his hand into the tunnel he'll either pull the poster down to the top of the hole or let go of the top of the poster. In no way can he press the poster onto the tape and he can't pull on the poster from the back and have it be perfectly smooth. Easier to think it's just something the director ignored for the sake of dramatic effect. And I'm okay with that. Its just a fun quirk to consider. The poster was stuck to the wall perfectly ... smooth, straight, tight. Not possible from inside the hole. Maybe Red did know and put the poster up behind him ... but then, why didn't Red escape with Andy?

​@@davidely7032exactly how would Redd be able to get out of his cell and into Andy's then back again after Lights Out?

@@kevinmoore2929 I agree. One thing to consider is that there was likely a moment, just before lights out, when the cell doors were open allowing Red the chance to follow Andy into his cell and put the poster up after Andy slipped into the hole. But there was a scene with Andy holding the rope, staring at the wall, cell doors closed ... keeping Red out. So yeah, Red had no chance to help Andy out by putting the poster up. And one would think Red would take the chance to escape. Maybe not. Red was close to being irreparably institutionalized and may not have wanted to get free. But he had been trying to convince the parole board to let him out ... until the end. And when out he considered going back in. In the end, I think the filmmakers put the story ahead of reality. The bit of throwing the stone and hearing it bounce was too good to pass up. Reality took a back seat. And I'm okay with that. I still think they were facing the wrong way. Facing Andy's cell the wall was to the right. But the warden found the hole in the left wall, the wall separating another cell in every other scene. If the camera was in the cell, facing the door, it could've worked as shot, but you see a wall and a window in the background, no door. I dunno. Maybe I'm looking at it incorrectly. 🤔

For anyone just seeing this review, a big part of the plot was cut: the warden started a program where the inmates would perform community service outside of the prison. This meant work would often go to them since it would be so cheap to hire them so contractors who couldn't afford to work for less started bribing the warden to turn down offers for work and he began embezzling funds that were coming in. He used Andy to launder the money through a fake person he made up named Randall Stevens. Hence why when Andy had a chance to get out, the warden stopped it cause he was afraid Andy would blab to the authorities (even though Andy would be an accessory and also guilty). When Tommy was murdered Andy said he wanted out but the warden held him to it and threatened to take away all his privileges otherwise. So Andy escaped "borrowed" the warden's suit and shoes visited several banks claiming to be Randall Stevens (even having all the proper IDs and documentation) withdrawing all the money claiming he was moving out of the country. He had that one bank send a package for him to the newspapers detailed the embezzling and Tommy's murder. A few weeks after he escaped he sent a blank postcard to Red from Fort Hancock Texas which Red researches and figures out that was where Andy got through the border into Mexico.

Capt. Hadley got his inheritance in 1949, NOT 1935.

@30noir Thank you for finding that mistake on there. I was typing too fast, and I forgot to add the actual name of the book on there. Again, thank you for finding that mistake.
