Pretty cool how that dog has himself an emotional support human

My favorite is when something scares J and then he looks at the screen and says "shut up" .... cause somehow... he knows I'm laughing.

The doggie is doing its "look, dad, I can stand on two legs, don't be sad" act again, I cannot 😭😭😭

One of my favorite movies of all time! The Irish line was kind of an inside joke. In the book, Morgan Freeman's character was nicknamed "Red" because he was a red-haired man of Irish descent with the last name Redington. But, they really wanted Morgan Freeman to play the part in the movie. I'm so glad they cast him in this. Shawshank Redemption was the first instance of the infamous Morgan Freeman voice-over narration style that would later define his career.

Brooks' story is small but powerful. man was born somewhere in the the late 1800's. went to prison in 1907. the got out in 57. "i saw a car once." its crazy how much even in that time frame technology advanced.

Another example what a great writer Stephen King is, even without supernatural elements in his stories.

I think the movie is really about Red. It follows Andy’s story, but he is constant thru the film, trying to better the situation of those around him. Red goes through the metamorphosis from despair to hope.

If you go back to the scene where the Warden held Andy's bible during the cell search, remember that the rock hammer was inside it that whole time and the Warden nearly left Andy's cell with the hammer bible. That whole time Andy had to procure the strongest of poker faces and must have been sweating bullets.

"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying." Fun Fact: Raquel Welch, whose One Million Years B.C. (1966) poster plays a significant role in the film, is a big fan of this movie. Musical Enthusiast Fact: The opera song that Andy Dufresne plays over the loud speakers is "Canzonetta sull'aria" from "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart. It was Tim Robbins' idea for Andy to turn up the volume of the record player in the scene. Bird Timing Fact: When Andy goes to the library to begin work as Brooks' assistant and Brooks' crow, Jake, is squawking, Tim Robbins had to time his line so that the crow wouldn't squawk over him, since the bird could not be trained to squawk on cue. Robbins was able to time his line perfectly by learning the bird's squawking patterns, for which writer/director Frank Darabont praised him.

Easily one of the best movies ever!! 💪🏽🔥

Oh bro your reaction to Andy crawling through the sewer made me laugh harder than I have in a hot ass minute good lord 💀

I was 13 when my father grabbed me and my brother and took us to see the, Thursday - 10pm sneak-preview of this the day before it opened... and we had no idea what to expect. At the end of the film when the credits started to roll, I realized that my mouth was WIDE open... from amazement. I recalled how simliar the ending was to JAWS and I was in awe. I then turned to look at my brother and my father and saw both of them with their eyes glued to the screen and their mouths dropped in awe as well. WHAT. A. FILM.

Those sweet doggies so concerned about you ♥ You're a good guy and I loved watching this movie again with you. :)

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this movie, Brooks’s death gets me every time. I don’t know what he did to get into Shawshank, but it always breaks my heart when he commits suicide. Stephen King is a master of creating loveable and flawed characters, and Frank Darabont is a master of bringing them to the big screen. What a perfect combination.

Red’s speech at the end kept using the phrase “I hope…”, which of course is a huge turnaround from earlier when he told Andy that hope was dangerous. But also: while it’s been a few decades since I read the novella this was based on, I believe it ends with this speech because we, the reader, don’t actually find out if Red ever meets up with Andy. As an ex-con, Red is expected to get have some difficulty crossing the border into Mexico, so it’s left open-ended. (Andy was still using his assumed identity, so he was able to breeze through.) But for a movie, I think this was a valid change to make. That catharsis from seeing their reunion is so powerful. (Also, I love how concerned your dogs get for you. I’ve been watching for a few months, and they really worry about your well-being. It’s so heartwarming.)

One of the greatest movies of all time. That portion when Brooks is paroled is heartbreaking...hits me every time. And the ending is probably one of the best-filmed endings of all time.

Don’t know if you caught it in Red’s last few lines but in addition to everything else he once again had hope… thanks to Andy

This is the guy's version of a Rom-Com, so to speak. Great movie about friendship and hope. Don't give the captain too much credit for helping Andy with the Sisters. The only reason he beat up their leader was because the warden was using Andy for his finances and needed Andy in one piece. Basically Andy bought protection by helping the Warden and the captain out with their finances. "Better get started living or get started dying." Powerful. I gotta take those to heart now before I leave this world.

Greetings from Sweden sir. This is a cinematic masterpiece. One of the absolute best ones ever made. Fun fact: When the warden opens the book and finds the hidingspot for the rock hammer it says "EXODUS" on that page. It means "EXIT"

I love seeing people react to when they find out Andy is innocent!

Man your reaction to the poop tunnel scene had me in tears. “Quit talking about it!” Was absolute gold

I hated that the warden committed suicide. I wanted him to go to prison forever.

Something you should know. The Shawshank Redemption is NOT about Andy. It was about Red, the whole time. If you remember in the beginning, Red starts to tell us a story about his friend, Andy Dufresne. When he had to sneak Rita Hayworth into Shawshank prison. Andy was always innocent so there was nothing to redeem. Red was the one whom needed to Redeem himself, who had to pay for his crimes & he did. Stephen King, the author of Rita Hayworth & the Shawshank Redemption confirmed all this too. I’m so glad you loved the movie.

"a toothbrush is a non-lethal object" "Not really you could make that a shank" LOL perfect response!

I worked at a prison from 2010 - 2018 and what you described during Brook's segment actually was something I saw firsthand. There was a woman that was about to get out that had been in for 14 years at that point, from 1996 - 2010 and they didn't really have much in the way of cell phones when she went in, so she asked me about them, I said I myself didn't know much about them cause even at that time I didn't have a smart phone.

I laughed so hard at your reaction to Andy crawling through the sewer that I hurt myself. Then I watched it again another five or six times. Thank you so much. I really needed a good laugh.

Its crazy how many amazing stories one man can make.

I couldn’t love this any more than I already do! I never watched this movie because I thought it was going to be sad after seeing a clip of what happened with old brooks. So this was my first time watching it with you! Incredible movie and as always my favorite reactor and your beloved doggie 💗 thanks for sharing!

What a perfect movie. "What say you fuzzy britches?!"

Definitely one of my top fave movies! Awesome directing and performances!

I've seen a lot of reactions to this movie, but yours is officially my favorite. Awesome 👏👏👏

HOPE IS A GOOD THING, MAYBE THE BEST OF THINGS!

You are not the only one that got allergies at the End😅 Great Movie

The reason we didn't warn you that you'd hate the warden is because it's something you have to experience. Unlike Percy, you're not supposed to immediately hate him. You're supposed to slowly realize just how evil he is. This is so you can see it how andy does. At first, the scariest thing is the sisters. Then feel that he's safe after they're gone, only to realize it's a false safety and the guy at the top is the real problem. Brilliant movie

If you haven't seen it, you would probably like "Cool Hand Luke". You're reactions are great.

Hadley is played by Clancy Brown who voices Lex Luthor on Superman: The Animated Series.

I absolutely love this movie…it inspires hope no matter what obstacles you might face. As always a good reaction, thanks so much for the laughs.😂

This is an absolutely beautiful story of hope in a hopeless situation. It’s my favorite movie! Wonderful reaction!! ❤❤❤ I love your reactions!! Your puppies are so precious!! ❤❤❤

The sheer joy you show when you realise he has escaped is pure gold!

Your honest reactions never cease to amaze me. I have not seen a bad one. From the moment I clicked on this, I said to myself; he is going to love this movie. How could you not. One of the few movies I can watch over and over. Great reaction video!

This is an excellent movie, and probably the best prison movie. Robot Chicken did a spoof of it using Batman charactets, even has Mark Hamill reprising the voice of The Joker (he voiced The Joker in the animated series and nailed it). It's called "The Arkham Redemption" and it is still on KZfaq.

Excellent movie and glad you enjoyed it so much. You are lucky your fur buddies watch over you and take such good care of ya. This made me smile this morning, I needed it, as it started out so bad. One of my fur babies passed last night and was found this morning. Seeing you and your little buddies made me feel better.

Raquel was a famous actress back in the 60's. She was every adolescents dream. She just passed recently. R.I.P.

You know what I love about your reactions? You can’t help but be you. Genuine dude. Thanks for watching my favorite movie of all time. I loved the shit the fuck up moments, brother.

You're a great reactor, and that pupper is ADORABLE. Those two things combined earned you a new subscriber. :)

The moment I saw that movie (when it came out on VHS) it became my #1 favorite movie and it's been on my Top 5 EVER SINCE! Glad you enjoyed it!!

39:55 min - I - seriously - feel out of my chair when 'Extraordinarily Dude' dropped the' Count of Monte Crisco' comment!

Your dog’s reaction is killing me. 😂 what a little sweetheart.

One of my all-time favorites. It's one of those flicks where even if it's on regular TV, edited, I'll still leave it on till the end.

Brooks......nooooooooooooooooooo!

"I hope..." Damn it. Cue the waterworks. Every...single...time. Where's my hankerchief.

Another fantastic reaction to one of my favorite movies. Thank you! You’re 100% right. Andy was always looking out for his friends.

Rewatching this amazing reaction & the Brooks scene hit hard today. I used to be an addict & I was never caught or arrested. Now I'm sober, good job, family. I've seen so many friends go to jail or pass. It completely upended their lives. One kid, he grew up 2 blocks away, super good dude. The only problem was his addiction. He never begged, borrowed, or stole a thing. He's probably about 45 now, spending his days on another stretch for poss. His 21 yo son passed last year from an od. It hit me really hard. My dad was an addict, I'm doing everything I can do my son doesn't become what I was, it's a cycle that is hard to break though. People don't understand what it's about. You're treated terrible, less than human by everyone. I still don't talk to any family except one aunt. I just wish people would try to understand & have a bit of empathy.

I guess they could have called this movie “The Brown Mile” considering what Andy had to do to escape. 😂 It was gross, but it was a small price to pay for freedom! Go Andy!

There is NOTHING ugly about you man! Not even your crying. You are such a beautiful person. I am so alone but I spend everyday with you and you always cheer me up. God bless.

Rita Hayworth and the shawshank redemption was one of 4 shorter stories in one book . Another of those stories was The Body , later to become Stand By Me ( 1986 )

Any time this movie comes on... I put the remote down immediately, and I saw this back in 1994... To this very day, still one of my favorites and always will be.. so many lessons in this movie... "Hope, is a good thing"...💯🙏

One of the best movies.

We knew you'd love Shawshank, JL. Don't worry. It had myself (6'4"), my brother (6'6") & our Dad (6'2") all crying like children at the end of this film, in the cinema. This is one of my personal favorite films of all time. Easily in my top 3. Hope everyone is having a great week & much love from here in the UK

The one thing that always bugged me about this movie is why Andy didn't just hide the rock hammer in the hole? I mean if the warden found the hole he'd be screwed anyway and they'd most likely tear his room apart and find the hammer. Seems an unnecessary risk to hide it in the bible when he has a perfectly good hole in the wall to stash things in.

It'a great movie and a great reaction. You have a big heart sir. And can I just say I m absolutely in love with a bond that you have with your dog, he really feels you. You take care x

Keep being you my man. I am 6'2" 390 lbs and I still tear up at a quality story line, especially ones involving animals or children. Emotion and heart doesn't depend on a person's size.

Love when you little man goes too the sitting loaf position!

I loved this reaction and I loved how tuned into each other you and your baby are. Dogs always see emotion in their people but not all people can see it in their dogs ❤

It truly was a shawshank redemption

Raquel Welsh, who was featured in Andy's final poster, is actually still alive, and looks pretty good for a woman in her 80s. She's known to be a fan of this movie.

Raquel Welch :) That's the last woman that adorned Andy's wall. Mercy Great hanging with you and your pups, watching this masterpiece of a movie. One of the most fun reactions I've seen in a long time lol. Hope you have a great week.

The Rita Hayworth poster for the censor bar was #@%! classic.

I really enjoyed this reaction. Especially when Andy crawled through the river of shit. Your reaction did not disappoint. I have a Tim Robbins movie for you. Mystic River directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne. I am looking forward to JLoween much like a child looks forward to Christmas. October is going to be a great month for EOM.

Never say never

I love your dogs, the one trying to comfort you was so gentle and cute. Hi from a French guy in Switzerland. I'm glad that you enjoyed this movie.

Omg when you looked at the puppers and got a stare back. Best ever

I’m so excited. October starts my favorite time of year!

Get your tissues ready Jay. Parts of it are heart wrenching. Great movie

BTW, the reason why Morgan finally got paroled is that he finally showed them that he was broken. His previous meetings, he still had that chip on his shoulder, pride, a bit of ego. And your little baby doggie sure does connect to you, he totally stresses when he thinks you're stressin' and puts on a little show to make you happy.

Hank Williams Jr. did the football song. His son is Hank Williams III and his father was Hank Williams. All are musicians.

A perfect movie, love it, even in its darkness. The message is one we all need now and then. “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” For some trivia, Andy kept his hammer in the Bible under the chapter Exodus, the story that tells of the Jews escaping their slavery in Egypt. The woman on the poster that the warden calls “Miss Fuzzy Britches” is Raquel Welch from the movie One Million Years B.C. She was a real sex symbol of the 60s and 70s and is still with us today at age 82. Clancy Brown, who plays the Captain Hadley, the head guard, also voices Mr. Crabs on SpongeBob SquarePants.

Best moment of the movie definitely has to be when Andy finally emerges from the sewage pipe and the rain washes away all of the crud from his body (great metaphor) and the music swells! It feels extremely relieving and cathartic! (Fun fact: the song that plays in the background during that scene is named "The Shawshank Redemption" the same title as the movie.)

One of the all-time great "bro" movies. So enjoyed your reaction to it. Love your hounds, too.

Puppers Emotional Support to the rescue! I love your reactions, but I love your interactions with the doggos more.

He (the captain) didn’t “help Andy” when he made the lead sister a vegetable. He was keeping his personal accountant where he’d be able to keep cooking his books. Nothing else. If Andy hadn’t been the accountant that he was, the captain would have turned a blind eye to his suffering.

This is one of the great movies in history, and in my opinion one of the greatest endings, I have actually been to this prison before it is in Mansfield Ohio, they actually do a haunted prison tour around Halloween, I have talked to people who work there and they all have stories, They said you never wanted to be on the top tier of the prison and have enemies, I'm sure you can imagine you would get tossed off and it has happened...The prison opened in the late 1800s and closed in 1990, a piece of the tree lies by the prison because lightning hit it years ago, It made headlines over here

41:13 the noises you make when you're retching! I couldn't stop laughing. 🤣😂 "OH, GOD!" "BLURRGHH!" "Quit talking about it!!" **waves hands** 🤣😂 Seriously, this is a fantastic film. Definitely in my top 10 films of all time.

Stephen King wrote this, The Green Mile, The Shining, Stand By Me, and Misery. Mad Respect for the The King 🤴

I read this book when I was a kid. When I first saw the trailer for it I was sooo excited. Love this story. Hope springs eternal.

Love that dog and how he reacts to you and wants to comfort you.

"and hope I can shake his hand" and then he hugs him!

Please watch Snatch…you’ll relate to Tyrone 😂

2:00 Oh no, you will DEFINITELY want to watch this one again, and again, and again! It's such a wonderful, uplifting movie, with one of the most beautiful endings ever :)

Aww your sweet pup was so concerned about you

Hank Williams was the daddy, Jr is his son, Daddy has been dead along time.The best part of this movie is how Andy gets that warden, I was so happy lol. Rachel Welsh, look her up, she was a beauty.

When I saw this movie, at the age of 8, my grand folks told if I end up in prison, I'm gonna end up like Andy if I don't shape up (especially the Sisters scene), in context, I was clumsy kid who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, not so much a punk...so this film's impact was being scared shitless about prison. Now as an Adult, I appreciate what the film's about. Especially Red and Andy. Brooks, my God, his part in the story really got to me.

one of the best movies ever made. plenty of movies make you cry with sad things and this does as well with brooks death which got me and alot of people but i cant think of any movie that lifted my heart and made me cry with almost optimisim and happiness like the ending of this movie. "i hope" as the closing line is literal perfection.

My uncle was in and out his entire adult life. When he’d get out, he referred to it as “vacation.” It’s against code to purposefully get yourself locked up, but he didn’t want to be on the outside either.

I literally was guffawing when you said “what the hell is ‘pinch a loaf’”. Very next scene …😳 oh” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I worked in a prison for a few years There was an inmate who had been in for a long time. He talked about how he was talking to his daughter on the phone and she said that she was face timing with somebody and he had to ask her what that was It’s crazy how different things have gotten

I love, love your sudden realization of what Andy did. What he was able to pull off. I have seen this movie many times. As mentioned its my late father and I’s fav. I know what happens but watching you see it the first time and the flash of “wtf” I am a huge Stephen King fan. His novels are my past time. Actual books not reading off a screen. I would have been thrilled in that shawshank library. I remember my Father being shocked after seeing this movie several times and finally noticing it was a stephen king story. I said there are a few king stories made into movies you may not realize. He just kept saying, “but its not scary” lol. The author himself had told a story of browsing some book racks whilst waiting for an appointment or in between travel destinations. There was a lady also checking out the books, she said she had no idea what book to get, he cheekily suggested shawshank(it was a short story rereleased with the movie to have the movie photo cover) she looked near interested till she saw my beloved authors name. She then gasps and says, oh i dont read his work, he can only write terrible scary stories. Or something along those lines were said….. to the actual man that wrote it. Had she picked it up his photo was on the back of the book. At the time it was an current photo. Needless to say, my guy had a good laugh. Glad you loved this movie. Never imagine a prison story being somewhat of a mood lifter after something like green mile. I admit not all king stories made into movies work. But some like this absolutely do. Tell the co pilots i luv them.

Watched this many times but still always end up with tears , love your wonderful dog Cheers

This is one of those movies that if it’s on, it’s gonna get watched. And if it’s on a cable channel, 9 times out of 10 they’re gonna play it again, and you get sucked into Watch 2. We call it ‘getting Shawshanked.’
