The highest compliment I can pay a movie is to recommend but tell them point blank that I cannot say a single word what it’s about or it will spoil something. And I to this day cannot watch Shawshank without there being tears in my eyes. There are not enough words to express the depth of affection and the amount of empathy this movie invokes. It is simply a classic that I wish I could see through fresh eyes every time. So glad you enjoyed.

Andy was innocent of the crime that put him in prison. Red, on the other hand, was very much guilty. Thus, the "redemption" in The Shawshank Redemption was the redemption of Red. His hope and humanity were redeemed through his friendship and loyalty to Andy, which gave him both the ability and strength to live a well-deserved good life after prison. This is also why it makes so much sense to have him as the narrator of the story. Well, that, and Morgan Freeman's distinctive voice. It's an absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful story about the strength of friendship in the hardest of places. One of the best films of all time in my opinion.

@54mkpo Жыл бұрын

I absolutely agree.

@MegaForrestgump Жыл бұрын

You can see Red losing his grasp on the reality of being free with each parole hearing. He starts all buttoned up, sitting right down. The second, he sits but his shirt isn't buttoned fully. The final hearing, he's relaxed but frustrated, not buttoned fully and waits to be told to sit. Then he vents his frustrations about his regret. Explaining how he wishes he could tell himself but knows it too late.

I think even if andy was innocent he was still guilty in his mind.

Brooks suicide is a punch in the gut for most people. Like you said, you think it's going that way and then you see him carving his name and take a sigh of relief and then boom.

Often times, really smart people are unaware of how others think and feel, and they elicit reactions that are startling and incomprehensible to them because of this.

Don't beat yourself up. Most people slept on it back then, when it came out. It absolutely tanked in theatres. Bad marketing, (bad title-sorry Stephen) lack of commitment by Columbia distribution. Plus, it was up against sensations like Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, and a trend toward blockbusters. Later, home video sales/word of mouth via Warner Home Video is what finally brought it to prominence, not to mention Turner obtaining the rights, and blasting it on TNT in 1997. Hope springs eternal.

I actually got to meet Bob Gunton (The Warden) in 2018 and he’s one of the nicest performers I’ve ever had the privilege to meet and spend time with. I think it’s a real testament to his talent that someone so friendly and kind IRL can portray such an evil character.

Just as a blade was able to be made that was held to someone's throat, a sharp enough edge to cut the paper could be made and used. One just has to trace out the footprint of the hammer. One won't likely cut deep enough at first, so one turns back to near the last pages that were cut, and then continue with that same shape to cut. Repeat until deep enough to fully contain it. The acquisition of the hammer is already in the movie, so I didn't bother with that part.

Even with the 'hard to watch' moments.. it's a film I watch any chance I get. What makes it more fun is watching others watching for the first time. I also watched it 'blind' at the cinema. Not many ppl watched back then but it's one of the few films I actually clapped at the end of the credits. One of those films that 'taught' you a lil about life.

It is a Steven King short story. If you read the book, you find out that Andy had already created the fake person before he went to prison. He buried the birth certificate, driver licenses, and SS card in the tin box. When he escaped, he just had to go dig it up. Then, he left a gift for Red to find. If he had gotten caught, Red would have gotten all the identification info instead. Either way, the warden wouldn't have gotten the money. He was planning his escape before he ever went to jail. The movie is awesome. One of my favorites. As usual, the book is better.

Andy was the main character, but it was Red's Redemption. Andy didn't commit a crime so there was nothing to redeem. Red did commit a horrible crime(sabotaged the brakes on his wife's car after taking out a large life insurance policy on her. Ended up killing her, the neighbor and the neighbor's child). He found this redemption at the end after Andy broke out of prison, Red finally accepted responsibility for his actions and voiced his regret/remorse, and said let's cut the bullshit to the parole board to gain his freedom and redemption.

Great reaction to a great movie one of my top 10 movies of all time and I have watched over 2500 movies in my lifetime. Just a few facts about the movie and info. 1. When Andy meets Redd for the first time in the yard, he asked him why they call him Redd, he tells him maybe because I’m Irish. The reason was the part of Redd was to be played by a white guy who was going to be Irish and his last name was Redding, but in the end Morgan got the part and the director kept that line in.. maybe because I’m Irish… so Redd was short for Redding. 2. The young photo of Morgan in the beginning, was a photo of his real son. 3. His son is also in the movie for one scene and that was or he was the guy behind the fence doing the fishing pole gesture with a hat on. 4. The posters of different women was a sign of time passing and years. 5. When Brooks is let out of prison, as he steps out, you see the guards behind him. This represents that he was still stuck or trapped in the same place. That’s why he killed him self. 6. When we see Redd leaving, you see the guards are in front of him as he steps out, meaning he was free. 7. The ending of the movie was Andy driving away with the top rolled down. When it was shown to a test audience they did not like it, they wanted Andy and Redd to reunite… so they went back and shot that ending on the beach as we see… that makes the movie complete. Another great movie from the same director and one of my top 5 movies of all time that you should watch and react to is The Green Mile…. Both movies are from Steven King Novels…. Thank you.

Now you need to watch Frank Darabont's other masterpiece "The Green Mile". Also with the original story by Stephen King.

The exterior shots of "Shawshank" were filmed at the Mansfield Reformatory, just outside Mansfield, Ohio. They have Shawshank tours and this time of the year the old section of the prison hosts a haunted house.

One of the best films ever made and one of my all time favourites ever since I saw it. The velvet voice of Morgan Freeman as the narrator adds so much to the feeling of the film as well as telling the story. Brooks' situation in seeing the outside world after so many changes reminds me of a video I saw recently. A man was taking his brother out, having just completed a lengthy sentence, and the video captures the shocked look on his face when he pays the bill at a bar using his mobile phone. It's easy to forget how fast the world is changing, never mind how much it had changed during Brooks' 50 year stretch.

Rewatching this film only cements it among viewers' favorites list. These actors, the script and direction deliver a fantastic film, and I'll be interested to see what it brings, 50 years later, to new audiences.

I don't think "planned from the beginning" is the right phrase. I think he was going to carve his name and thoughts into the wall. And that was an idle act - he was really only thinking of make rock-figurines. That was his from-first-day 'plan'. That his wall would crumble was, well, the start of a new plan. And "Rita Hayworth" was obviously very important after a calendar or two proved insufficiently sized. But even if he didn't 'plan it for 20 years', he had to use at least 19 of those.

Institutional environments take a while to get used to but once you do it's hard to acclimate back to civilian life. One time me and my cousin where talking about this very subject. He had been in Prison and I was in the Military, there were so many similarities it made us laughed. We got up, dressed, worked and interacted with people in the same manor and it was easy. Everyone was either on a certain level or in a higher position so you acted accordingly. Although everyone was and undividable, undividable wants and emotions didn't dictate the whole community. A stark contrast to our current outside world. When we both got out it was difficult for both of us to function without the structure we were conditioned too. Back in the day it was very common for healthy solder that gave most of their lives to military services to die shortly after retirement or go the way of Brooks. "When a man has a job to do, he tends to stay around a little longer to do it". This is true for people no matter what side of the wall you are on.

Trivia: the building in which the movie was shot (Ohio state reformatory) was a real prison due for demolition and saved thanks to the movie studio wanting to film there. It's now a museum with guided tours.
