One of the finest movies ever made. This is a true masterpiece in storytelling.

Most people think this movie is about Andy. But the redemption was Red’s. ❤️

Ive seen this movie a hundred times and it still makes me tear up.

When Red states that hope is just "shitty pipe dreams," it foreshadows Andy crawling through a shitty pipe to escape.

I was lucky enough to see this in the theater. It changed my life.

The last two lines of the film: "I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. ... I hope" The two things that Red had never dared to do for 40 years. Hope, and Dream

This movie was in the cinema when my life was in a very dark place... I saw it about ten times in 2 weeks, hardly anyone else was in the cinema each time. This movie certainly helped save my life. No other movie comes close.

This was filmed in my hometown. There are still Shawshank signs up to this day because it's the only thing that's ever happened here that's worth mentioning. Slipknot's playing at the prison this fall.

My dad showed me this film at 8, I’m 31 and I’m STILL mourning Brook Hatlen.

$370k in 1966 would be almost three million today. He walked away with oodles.

This movie is designed to get you to cry.

“I hope.” That got me tearing up, yet again!

Well, now you've gotta follow this with your "Green Mile" reaction.

Awe, thank you for watching it. I’m sure others requested it as well, but thank you. This is my fave movie and more ppl need to see it.

This film is just... amazing. So brilliantly done.

Yea, this is a top tier film it still holds up to this day. Even with how far movies have come and even stands above most of those movies.

Dillon: oh!! He is going to help him….. Everybody: about that…

42:09 - This film has that affect on people . . . you just some time and space to decompress all the emotions you're feeling. Great reaction, mate.

When you're wrongly convicted, peace is never found in jail.

Being in jail bring the innocent comfort? "I'm not sure I agree 100% with your police work there, Lou." Best. Leo.

After 16yrs of a happy, blissful marriage I caught my misses with a friend. Me and my three daughters (youngest 4yrs at the time) left her and I've spent the last 11yrs raising them completely on my own. I'd do it all again if I could turn back time as my time with my girls is and has been priceless.

The 2 moments from the movie that really got me. 1) when Brooks is let out and goes back to the world. That whole sequence is so heartbreaking. And 2) when Red is let out and at his job asks to go to the bathroom. I don’t know why, but the contrast of the scenes is really sad

After seeing the whole movie and what that place did to Andy (who was innocent), are you ready to rethink that whole "Jail brings them comfort" thing?

You should watch The Green Mile next, it's from the same team that made Shawshank and it's amazing.

Notice that Red doesn't actually smoke. Cigarettes are just prison currency to him.

$370,000 in 1966 is $3 million today.

I absolutely enjoy what you put in the title “THIS MOVIE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE “ Your video title rocks! The tagline to the film on the original Shawshank movie poster is quite appropriate as well. “FEAR CAN HOLD YOU PRISONER... HOPE CAN SET YOU FREE.” Another similarly powerful movie that I highly recommend you get a chance to react to in the near future would definitely be the film “Peaceful Warrior” it was a film that also had an appropriate tagline on its movie poster “A FILM THAT CHANGES LIVES.” It definitely sounds like a movie you would really enjoy.

I'm really glad you enjoyed this movie. I'm just an emotional vampire feeding off of people's reactions to movies, and this may sound wrong, but thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing parts of the best of humanity, compassion, empathy and thoughtful articulation. Thank you for sharing YOUR Hope. I'm going to check out other things you've watched. Again, thank you.

Captain Hadley here was our boy Clancy Brown, famous for being the voice of Mr Crabs, he also recently played Hank in Detroit Become Human, and Sometimes made cameos on cw's the flash as General Eiling, he also appeared in Daredevil and Punisher, Oh and the mandalorian too

The smirk on my face at 5:21 😂

No wonder this was rated #1 movie of all time by IMDB. Fantastic reaction. After seeing it no less than 50 times- I still tear up and the end.

The director made this and Green Mile. Both are in my top 3 favorite movies of all time

one of the greatest films of all time for sure!

Red was rejected because he didn't tell what he really think but he tell them what he think they want to hear

Honestly one of the best movies of all time.

I still cry every time I see it, and that's a whole lotta times. I see more tears in my future, too.

Brooks had no family on the outside because he murdered his wife and daughter after a losing poker streak. Great reaction. Take care, bro. “Never give up. Never surrender!” -- Commander Peter Quincy Taggart

You really choose the big ones to react to: Saving Private Ryan, Titanic, Schindlers List, now Shawshank - awesome! I hope, you will continue watching Game of Thrones, too. Keep going! :)

“Sticky tape razor blades to my arsehole” hahahahaha wtf had me dead, that’s one way I guess to protect yas elf picking up soap 😂

It's an amazing film. I'm so glad you watched it. There are innocent people in prisons. But I tell you, the prison system is a crime all to itself. There are countries that make their "prison systems" about rehabilitation, and re-education, and they have extremely low rates of recidivism. They help people change and return to life, rather than finish the ruin of their lives. Reparative justice is always better than blind imprisonment. Thanks for sharing this with us! Means a lot! Great reaction as always!

5 minutes into the movie and you can't wait to see what happens...wow.

3:02 - You may recognise the prosecutor from your The Walking Dead season 1 reactions. He plays Dale, the older guy with the RV.

Love how you get so invested in these movies and i also do every time watching the ones that hit real places, I'd also Love to see a react to the color purple Or Life (with eddie murphy)

What amazes me is that this film, and The Green Mile, come from the same mind that wrote The Stand, IT, Pet Semetery, Misery, Cujo, etc. Stephen King is simply planes above us all in terms of how his mind works.

My favorite movie of all movies. A Stephen King novella. Thank you for reviewing. Always enjoy your reactions.

I always say this in reactions....the real prison is in my hometown and the street on the hill

Great reaction to one of the best Stephen King stories ever! Definitely check out The Green Mile next another King story about prison with Tom Hanks.

Its the highest rated movie on IMDB

The first time I watched this movie I was so surprised to hear the place I was born, Zihuatanejo. 😆

Had no doubt you'd like this one, Auzzie. For another awesome Stephen King story made into a top-notch movie also starring Tom Hanks do "The Green Mile". Don't want to tell you anything about it as surprise is best for The Green Mile, and you'll get a lot of views. And do BTTF part 2 soon. Enjoyed your Part 1 reaction. ✌️😎

Well, Marty Mcfly's uncle Joey didn't mind prison. " Better get use to these bars kid " :)

You might try "Fried Green Tomatoes". It's got a lot of story, great characters, awesome plot, and it'll make you laugh/cry/laugh.

I cry every time I see brooks kill himself. Its so sad even though I've seen this 30 times

Red killed his wife for insurance money and ended up also accidentally killing a neighbor and her child. He got a life sentence (45yrs) for that. He wasn't expecting to be let out after less than half. Andy got 90yrs (two life, back to back). Brooks was paroled after 50, so his was probably similar to Andy's. Brooks had killed his wife and daughter. What got Red paroled was saying, "not a day goes by I don't feel regret..."

When Andy Dufresne climbs out of the sewer, play this little-known Jim Croce song: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5OWltmfvqqpemQ.html This movie marks a milestone for "reel" Stephen King works. Director Frank Darabont turned a short story into a masterpiece about Hope. For a time, he was the go-to guy for translating Stephen King's works to film.

Finally the day has come. Such a beautiful and emotional cinematic story. Def a top 20 movies for me👍 and great reaction

*Morgan Freeman kills a human being, serves only 20 years of his life sentence and expect parole, is denied parole* Auzzie Dillon: WTF IS THIS? THIS MOVIE IS GONNA GET ME SO ANGRY THIS IS BULLSHIT

With this and green mile you have seen movies based on 2 of the stories of Stephen Kings four seasons. So it is time to see Stand by Me and Apt Puoik and you have seen the book.

Without a doubt, one of the finest films ever made! Really enjoyed your reaction! You were keying in on things most people miss the first time through!!

The smirking little condescending head shake the warden gives when Andy says, “There’s a chance, isn’t there?” makes me hate him about ten times more. Great acting, but oof. Want to deck him every time.

Hre's he picture I I relish imagining: Guard Hatlen placed in the general population of a prison...

Excellent reaction thank you for sharing

Fun fact the guy who plays hadly is also the voice of Mr Krabs from Spongebob.

When you yelled now you take yours pants off I screamed so loud laughing

This is the best film ever made. It has everything that a human encounters. On top of that....this film....affects and effects... everything is human nature.

Lovely reaction!

What if there was a grate on the end of the sewer pipe?

Review the film The Count of Monte Cristo (2003). It was mentioned in Shawshank and loosely inspired the original short story.

Please tell me next on your list is “The Green Mile”❤️

The best movie ever, no wonder it literally won first place in the IMDb, that insane Warden got what he deserved it was just a matter of time

This is my all time favorite movie 👍👍❤️🙏❤️🦋🦋🦋

This is such a great movie.

Great movie. You did this movie you did Forest Gump now You have to do The Green Mile to complete the three great drama movies. Another great drama in prison are Birdman Of Alcatraz 1962 and Murder at first 1995

Sometimes a movie comes along and just inspires you to speak from the heart and reach other people. Shawshank did that for you today. And it´s a beautiful thing. If you reach just one person, make someone think of something better, it´s all worthwhile. I´m lucky enough to have reached people after being inspired by a movie. It´s no joke. I´ve been told that I´ve saved lives. It´s humbling. Keep doing what you´re doing. Much love.

Look after yourself, please, whatever you can't tell the world, it is obviously traumatic to you, and that changes any of us, For Life. It's good for you not to overshare. You therefore also understand a whole lot better, just what is really important in life. It's not wads of cash, looks, exy clothes, cars or houses. It's the friends that get you, and know you very well, the family that stand by you through everything, and the memories of great times spent with them. Leaving your whole support team in prison has to be very difficult, starting again in a very different world, would be like emigrating. When one of my Aunts got old, she said, "it's a terrible thing to outlive all your friends." All the best.

I'm already liking this video before you watch it, because I know you're going to love it, and if you lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, I'd want you to be my friend 🤣

You can see how the same people that collaborated for this movie did The Green Mile. Both big fat bawl-fests.

Great reaction

What would he have done after 500 yards of foulness to find a welded grate at the end?

I don't know if you take suggestions and I'm fairly new to your Channel, but I think you would love 1997's Sling Blade starring Billy Bob Thornton (if you haven't seen it) he won like 5 awards for his amazing performance. It's a beautiful story with dark undertones and the same kind of feel of the movies you seem to enjoy reacting to. Doubt you'll see this but just a thought. Love your reactions - Green Mile's my favorite 😊.

Rejected? Rejected?! REJECTED! Oh, we're in for a ride.

I wanted the warden to be taken away in handcuffs like Joan Ferguson during the last episodes of Prisoner (Prisoner Cell Block H)

I would love for you to react to "The Color Purple"

@ 42:09 Won't be surprised if you say much the same for Interstellar and The Green Mile. I'll think you'll enjoy those a lot. And since you like fantasy do one of Robin Williams best, "Jumanji" (1995) someday soon. Gonna check your Star Wars videos! ✌️😎

Calling Bs boss. Why did you say don't look behind poster on the tossing the cell scene if you've never seen it before? 🤔

BROOKS WAS HERE

Another film based on a Stephen King's short story. A Greene Mile and The Shining are Stephen King based too.

You should really watch ‘A Little Princess’ (the 1995 movie). As a father I think you’d actually really appreciate it 😊 Another emotional one, but worth it xxx

Damn I hate it when people figure out the poster early. Ruins the reveal

This is IMDBs #1 movie

One of my favorite movies

Subbed man. You're legit.

Great commentary 👍👍👍👍👍👍

You have a gift for seeing the future. Ive never seen anyone who knew right off the bat, don’t look behind the poster.

Literally commented for you to watch this on the titanic video yesterday!! :)

I love this movie! 🥰

lol so Forrest or Shawshank? Love both but Shawshank nods it for me. Watch Pulp Fiction and you'll complete the 94 holy trinity.

Ummm....being in prison brings the wrongfully-convicted comfort? Is that really what you meant to say? Would you be comforted by living the rest of your life in prison for a crime you didn't commit?

I guess it's time for The green mile if you haven't seen it.

Great reaction. I recommend you watch Pan's Labyrinth and the Sixth Sense if you haven't watched them :D
