For sure

Since this movie took place in the 40s during this scene, $10 in mid 1940s money is nearly $150 today. I don’t know if this is a goof, or if they just priced it at that for the sake of simplicity, but there’s no way in hell a rock hammer would cost $150

Dibab I do, and maybe I’m not aware of the exchange rates for prison contraband, but $150 still seems like a very steep price

@Dibab Everything you just said is irrelevant, since Andy clearly said the item costs 7$ in any gem shop. So the high price has nothing to do with the fact that they're in prison. The prison factor only accounts for the extra 3$.

@@danielleza908 welp, maybe geolocigal hammers used to cost less, amazon says that a rock hammer nowadays costs around 30 bucks

Then don't go to prison lol.

@@venividivici4253 I think that was Andy's plan A

@Sage Sarrazine I mean it's not like he was falsely convicted or anything, right?

I loved it when the sisters got all up in Andy’s guts.

@@oobenoob Fictional movie or not, that’s a disgusting take bro.

I was thinking the same thing when I clicked on the thumbnail to watch it. This, Tombstone, Oceans Eleven, and a few others. They aren't the BEST movies, but if they are on as I school by the channels, I know what I will be doing for the next couple of hours.

I have a collection of over 300 DVDs I never get tired of

Same here bro, ive watched this move at least 100 times maybe more

It's a stupid movie . As if Andy was kept in one cell for 20 years and not once in that 20 years did any guard remove that poster hiding the tunnel he was digging for 20 years.

I always thought it was lord fucked me

@@boredcommenter1576 Unless the lord is Zeus, it would be pretty improbable

I love Hayward. Dude speaks before he thinks on everything.

@@DekuStickGamer Yeah, Heywood’s probably one of the funnier characters, but he doesn’t get mentioned that much. It’s a shame we never get to see him or any of Red’s other friends get released.

That’s mine too,the way he says it n just throws the ball 😂

Totally agree. Tim Robbins did an excellent job bringing out this quality in Andy. He conveys so much with just his eyes alone. Every scene he is in, he captures my fullest attention.

Yeah, I relate to this so much. People always assume and ask questions like "Why are you mad?" and "Do you hate me?". No, i'm not and i don't. I just see no reason to smile all the time.

@@IssyFishyy The “why are you mad” shit happens to me all the fucking time, even when I was a pre-teen. I’ve never truly related to a fictional character until I saw Shawshank.

@@IssyFishyy En tant que français lorsque j'étais en Angleterre, les anglais pensaient de moi que j'étais un sale con antipathique, simplement parce que nous français, nous ne sourions pas stupidement en permanence comme les anglo-saxons !

Even Andy's character said in one scene, god, I loved her (his wife) but didn't express! its wasn't him, its unlike him to express.

you didn't see the electric company as a child, did you?

doctorwho0077+ Really? What's he like? I've never met him before

Same as Walter Cronkite.

@@ernstergarcia favorite show. Better than sesame street.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

+BxGirlRN Blazin' Completely agree with you, Have you seen the shawshank redmption film look, so many things we don't know in a filmmakers point of view.

+BxGirlRN Blazin' Ikr? it's one of the few movies I can watch at anytime!

My favorite prison movie next to green mile.

Eeyup.

Never saw 'Green Mile', only clips or Trailer of it. Like the Movie 'Conviction' with 'Hillary Swank' :)

He didn't plan it in the beginning, stupid! Andy didn't plan it until part of the wall broke off when he was carving his name, dumbass!!!!!

​@@MrParkerman6 ummmmm does your mommy know you watched a rated r movie? Also do you really think he would ask for a hammer just for kicks and giggles? He was testing the wall by carving his name, but he always planned on digging a tunnel there. The fact that never occured to you, plus the fact you called me a dumb ass for pointing out something that didnt make any sense, proves your just a little preteen who just learned about youtube

@@ethanharmer5151 While I do agree that guy was overly aggressive for absolutely no reason. I have to say that no, he didn’t have the idea of digging a hole in the beginning. He doesn’t get the idea until that piece of the wall falls off. That’s why he stares at it weirdly and touches the wall with his finger. He just then realized that the wall was weak.

Alexandree Dumbass Dumbass

Yeah its such a simple prison escape, a hole behind a poster. But I didn't realize it somehow. Its so odd how good movie makers are at their jobs

Take it you read King's story haha

Would it have made more sense if Red was played by an Irish actor?

Stevie Ray C red was a robbing killing thug who went to prison (without a library) at age 18. It's hard for me to believe he knows the names of the rocks on the ground

If I'd been thrown in prison at 18 (even without a library) I'd be learning everything I could about EVERYTHING, just to break the boredom.

hallnoats4ever I'm Irish wanna fight about it????

First thing i thought. They're classic prison weapons.

True, but a toothbrush doesn't exactly start off as one, where as rock hammer obviously would.

freakyfornash yep technically speaking anything can be made into a weapon, only a hammer can be used as is. Once the toothbrush looks like a shank, it is no longer a toothbrush.

even from baby tooth

Ear I was just thinking they make a shank out of it these days

Yeah it doesn't make much sense since MF doesn't have red hair.

To be fair I’m sure there’s plenty of black in Ireland

@@michaelnally2841 There is now. All good.

Charles DickInSon great line !’

The character Mandy the assassin from 24 is a lesbian in Season 1 but later dates a bisexual man a few seasons later. She never feels love for her partners; the only thing she believes in is her murderous agenda. She, like Boggs, doesn't constitute a human.

Well done for quoting a video you just watched

@@swanningabout lmao. I dont know why everybody does this.

@@batterymanXD Neither do I...

roydamanna u seriously wrote my mind.

The same to me I wish someone erase completely from my mind as if it is not produced

roydamanna Try a DIY lobotomy.

Every time I watch this movie it always feels like the first time.

True, but at the same time, Andy wasn't thinking of escaping when he asked for the rock hammer. He only thought about it after he'd seen how the walls were crumbling while etching something into it.

Also andy was very lucky to get a cell that borders the wall of the jail and not into another inmates cell

For anyone that cares after reading the comment: the movie came out the same year as: Lion King, Forest Gump, Speed, Pulp Fiction, Interview with a vampire

@@Spoopball I definitely care, Thank U 4 that. 94 definately was a great year for movies.

Two reasons: 1) Competition was tough 2) The title doesn't roll of the tongue

@@Spoopball Holy shit, that's a brutal line-up to go up against. Fair enough.

At least it's widely praised now. It's the highest rated film ever on IMDB and rightfully considered a classic by many.

No blackmen in Ireland or of Irish decent?

J S Unless mixed, black looking people tend to be from Africa.

TheKruse601 you have a very LONG way to go 😂

b1ueocean I agree but I in a different context. What’s yours?

You know there are black Irish people right

"Why do you care" was just for the "why" i think

He asked why

"What do you care?" Uhhh you wanna reconsider your tone when asking me for a favor? Especially since I'm probably the only guy around here who can get you this hammer?

@@enormousearl8838 There were others, it’s how Andy got the harmonica for Red.

@Spongebob Squarepants I posted this before 6 years 😁😁

Nice!

it indicates that the warden deserves an oscar for the best villain !

I like to imagine that the last thing that went through Bogg's head, other than that baton,.......

Not after CSI

Andy should have "talked some sense" into Boggs.

Nate V beat me to it 😂😂

Mountaindew The characters name is Ellis Redding..maybe you missed it.

Neither are they. You have to be human first. They don't qualify.

Ol Bogs was SWEET on Andy, sizing up that booty for later.

Very progressive for being set in 1947.

anyone GET to you yet...?

Would have been better if Red said "You'd had to be a Homo Sapiens first"

Chris Handsome... how's the booty warrior these days? 😏

Chris Hansen why don't you take a seat right over there

Damn.

Red had to wear a sling on his arm after this scene . True story

Why?

+Guitarfollower22 that was a 4 minute minute conversation with no cuts

Screwed up Freemans arm.

Thanks for finishing the scene.

Thank you Just thanks for being a fan Red, my name is Redman. Please get back to me anytime you can!!, Happy hunting!

A really but really?

He needed 2 Rock Hammers & 19 years to tunnel through the wall. Apparently some real life convicts did tunnel through the wall, they were recaptured shortly afterwards

@@gerryfogarty8274 When did he get the second one?

Mandy Fleischer The book is (through Stephen King) written as Red's memoir of his time in Shawshank with Andy; as such, he doesn't know exactly when Andy decided he'd try to escape, but he guesses it wasn't until Andy asked for the poster of Rita Hayworth

Mandy Fleischer in the film they show him scratching on the wall to pass the time and a chunk falls off. This is when he gets the idea to build a tunnel so he asks red for a poster to cover his work

Andrew Wright You are correct !

yes!

no red i'm not gonna tunnel under the wall i'm gonna tunnel thru it lol

What the fuck are you on about?

TownsendV228 My guess is Edd360's referring to the fact that Morgan Freeman is throwing the ball back and forth and scenes frequently require multiple takes in a day, etc. At least, that's what I took from it.

Brian Shoopman You're probably right. He has this comment in italics.

No blasphemy...Hadley will kill you

Apparently it took 8-9 hours to shoot this scene for some reason. I don't understand why.

you know you can cuss on youtube?

Fucked* Learn to comment like a man, Caillou.

he's lawyer was Boggs.

George Wang that line.cracks me up every time

It’s made funnier when he later on asks if Andy is “for real innocent.” Guess he did do it.

He's Irish in the movie too, dumbass!

theres a book?

@@MrParkerman6 Morgan Freeman was Irish in the movie? Maybe make sure you're not saying really really incredibly stupid shit before calling someone else dumbass

@@rayanhadid1269 yeah the original story comes from a collection of Stephen King short stories, the movie "stand by me" was also based on a story from the same collection

@@bryanmurphy1107 Being black and being of Irish descent are not mutually exclusive. You’ve never heard of a mixed-race couple? And given that several of the Southern states were settled by Scottish and Irish immigrants, that pairing is not an unreasonable possibility (and before anyone comments, yes, I do know the story takes place in Maine; people can move between states, as many former slaves did looking for work after the Civil War - the explanation that Red may have been progeny from one of these gives you backstory for the name).

Prison weapons have vastly improved in 50 years, I heard they even have DIY computers.

+Allen Han lmfao

somewhere in russia they made a nuclear reactor

Allen Han And how do they use computers as weapons? Do they cyberbully their inmates to suicide?

@@drazenbudis7881 no, they use it to smack a smear clean off a dollar bill

i prefer movies from the 2nd century like Gladiator.

Which would make this his SECOND impression, stupid!!!!

here

@@LordTalax Hear hear.

maybe on the wall of an ear doctors office it is.

Any idea why people weren’t interested in seeing it back then?

@@joewhitehead3 Maybe because on the title. It took a friend to force me to watch it otherwise I was like what the hell does Shawshank Redemption even mean. I was hooked after the first 10 minutes of the movie, still one of my favourites.

It was uo against pulp fiction and forrest gump. Sadly this movie was a bit of a flop

@@joewhitehead3 Sony, the original distributor did a Horrendous job marketing it. Once Warner Bros and Turner got the distribution rights, it started getting attention especially when it got 7 Oscar Nominations.

That's probably what happened. He wasn't planning to escape originally, just use it for the rocks and stuff. Then when he saw the wall was loose, he asked for the poster to cover up what he was doing.

It's one of these things that it's subtle in the film, but the book explains more clearly. Andy had only his hobby in mind when he approached Red to commission the hammer. It wasn't until a couple of years later that he really made a plan to escape, and that's when he went to Red again to buy the Rita Hayworth's poster, and he looked really anxious. In the book Red explains to the reader that he misinterpreted Andy's uneasiness thinking that Andy was worrying that by buying a hot girl poster like most inmates do he'd lose his 'cold fish' reputation. In reality, Andy's anxiety had nothing to do with that; he was anxious because he had just realized that he had a chance to escape Shawshank.

One of them

Fans of this movie seem kind of obsessed

i'm glad you made it.
