FAQ: (Questions that are asked to me OFTEN, will answer here)
Q: Why is the video in TWO Parts?
A: Copyright reasons. I can show more of the movie to you guys within multiple parts. Depending on the movie I might do THREE parts or sometimes just ONE.
Q: Why is a small portion of the video completely muted?
A: Copyright reasons. Sometimes I get hit with copyright claims AFTER the video has already been posted, my only choice is to refute the claim but if CZcams denies it, I have to either take down the video or mute the small portion they are claiming. If the video has been up for a while, it is much easier for me to mute this small portion in the YT studio and then unmute it months later after people aren't watching the video as much.
Q: Why is the movie not as loud as I want it to be, why can't you show more of it uncut?
A: Copyright reasons. Notice a pattern here? Most of your questions will likely be answered with some type of copyright related reason.
Q: Why is the movie footage flipped?
A: Again, copyright reasons. I am watching the movie the normal way, it is only flipped for the video.

Bit of symbolism for you when Brooke's leaves prison the shot looks back into the prison showing he has no hope and wants to return but when Red leaves the shot goes through the gate showing Red is ready to move on since Andy gave him purpose, it's the same with the bus scenes Brooke's is holding the bars where Red is holding his bag.
interesting
Very good observation. Oftentimes, little subtleties like that can be the difference between a good movie and a great movie!
Wow, really cool observation!
Fun fact: The movie isn't about Andy its about Red hes the one who got redemption not Andy, Andy was never guilty so he didn't need redemption.
The original novella actually never made it clear like the film that Andy was innocent, you only have his word to take for it. I think it would’ve been an interesting take, but I do like the story of Red’s redemption
relax it's about both of them
that's why they call it Red Dead Redemption
I don’t think the redemption part meant one single prisoner. Red was guilty, he didn’t do anything that ‘redeemed’ himself in the eyes of the law except serve a lengthy sentence. He was a good person to other prisoners and the viewers eyes. That was it
@@nissy9220 It was about his personal redemption. Not what people saw as redemption. In simple terms through Andy he was able to forgive himself for what he did (which is only addressed in the novel).
But I should have worded what I said a little better.
If you haven't seen The Green Mile it's another Stephen King story directed by Darabont. Some think it's better than Shawshank, most agree it's just as good.
Agreed Th Green Mile is a must watch!
The Green Mile is great but The Shawshank Redemption is better. The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest film of all time, in my opinion.
@@darthtrip7188 yeah I like Shawshank better too but it's pretty close for me.
Shawshank hands down
When Red tells Andy dreaming of going to Mexico is "shitty pipe dreams", it foreshadows Andy escaping by crawling through a shitty pipe.
I really like the camera zooming out before Andy and Red meet up in the last scene, and when they embrace, we - the audience - is so far away. It's like the movie is telling us "ok, you've seen enough, this is their moment, time for you to fuck off" ..
I thinks it because the director wanted the last scene to be the previous one (with Red on the bus) and the studio wanted a reunion. This was a compromise.
One of the greatest movies, no doubt. Such a beautiful story.
Oh, such a good movie! Love it.
Little trivia: in the original Stephen King novella, Red is actually an Irishman, described as 'a kid with a big mop of
carroty red hair' when he arrives at the prison in 1938. But Morgan Freeman is obviously a great choice for the role, even if not 100% fitting the physicals. And I love that they left the line about him being an Irishman. :)
I love everything about this film. Brilliant idea having Morgan Freeman narrate throughout. Of course we all love him and his voice, it adds an extra element making the movie even more poignant imo.On another note, not to creep but you could be a model.
Yes! Shawshank is always in my top 10 movies… I’ve never thought that I get so emotional about two guys in a prison; Brooks made me cry, I hate the warden, the music is amazing, that ending 😍 and Morgan’s voice… damn I wanna go to Zihuatanejo! Great reaction 👍🏼!!
Shawshank Redemption is a platinum standard in cinematography.
My #1 favorite movie of all time!! Fun fact: The Shawshank Redemption holds the highest rating ever on IMDb and has for over 20 years. It's rated higher than The Godfather, Schindler's List, or the LOTR trilogy. If those aren't bragging rights, I don't know what are.
12 angry men should be there on top as well. (that's my other favorite film)
Shawshank is a real place. It’s a prison compound that was shut down and that’s where they shot the movie. You can go visit it and stand in the cells and everything. My parents went last year and it seems pretty cool.
Where abouts is it
@@nissy9220 New England
Yeah Shawshank is an incredible film. I’ve seen it countless time. It’s too bad Tim Robbins didn’t have a soaring career after this movie. It’s easily his most known role.
He's done a number of VERY well-received movies: Mystic River, Bull Durham, The Player, Short Cuts. And a bunch of lesser ones like I.Q. (charming little film with with Meg Ryan) and High Fidelity (with John Cusack). Some were commercially successful, others weren't...but they're each very worthy of a viewing.
@@Pixelologist Jacob's Ladder! Another great movie!
Cool detail: Andy's hammer was hidden in the book of Exodus, which tells the story of the Jews fleeing slavery in Egypt.
Red cut the breaks in his wife's car he wasn't aware she would have a friend and her kid in the car at the time of her crashing
This movie is branded the perfect movie and is the highest rated movie on IMDB.
Notice the camera is of Brooks with the prison in in the background, his past, whereas, when Red leaves the prison, you see the outside world, where Red is headed....his future.
14:29 - Yes, yes it is.
26:18 - Yes, yes it is.
Thomas Newman is the composer for this movie, and he writes some absolutely beautiful and haunting scores. I *strongly* recommend "Road to Perdition", an underrated Tom Hanks movie with a amazing Newman score.
I acted in Shawshank for two months. Great experience.
Yes! Great choice and you won't be disappointed ❤
Great movie nice reaction. Ever see the green mile? You'll love it! Merry Christmas 🎄 dude.😀
Every younger reactor I’ve seen doesn’t know pinch a loaf, I remember hearing it a lot as a kid in the 70s and 80s.
A life sentence is 25 years. So to serve 2 is 50 years
A piece of trivia ... the actor who played the main guard, Captain Hadley, is also the voice of Mr Krabbs on SpongeBob
Mystic River. Arlington Road. Both great Tim Robbins performances.
Can we talk about how the newspaper says the daily bugle at 26:56?
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
According to the inflation calculator, 1$ in 1940 would be worth 21$ today. So the guard's brother left him between 500 000 and 750 000$. So yeah, you can see why Andy got the favor of the guards after he helped him keep his inheritance
One of the greatest movies of all time!
Stephen King is one of the best writers!
I don't know if you do comedy, but Tim Robbins was in a movie called Bull Durham (1988). It's about two minor league baseball players: one, an up-and-coming young pitcher, Nuke LaLoosh, who's bound to make the majors if he can stop being a screw-off (Robbins), and an older guy, a catcher on his way down, Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) who is assigned to teach Nuke what the game is about and what life is about. Also part of the "team" devoted to getting Nuke to straighten up is an older woman, Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) who likes young men and baseball. The script was written by Ron Shelton, who was a minor-league ballplayer himself. He also wrote White Men Can't Jump and other movies that are about sports, but even more so about men.
the book explains what “Red” did
Yup. Prisoners have no business being outside the prison walls. So moment a guard or any prison admin tells you they or warden wants to meet you *outside* the walls, and you’re alone (like it’s not some group work detail), you should know you’re fucked, ‘cause they’re trying to set you up to look like they caught you trying to escape.
Haha “that was a shit movie “ classic thanks and in the extra credit scene the Mexican federales show up and they have a Butch and Sundance type shootout with similar results 😁thanks again
The original ending was Red on the Bus. But after showing it to test audiences they added their reunion on the beach.
A good but crazy movie Tim Robbins is in is called Jacob's Ladder
HOPE IS A GOOD THING, MAYBE THE BEST OF THINGS!
The movie only gets better the more you watch it
Definitely one of my favourite movies 👍👍
great flick 🙂
The book of the bible Andy hid the hammer at was Exodus.
"Dude, Morgan Freeman has _barely_ aged."
Yeah. His hair is all grey now, and _that's it._
One of the most powerful movies of all time alongside with green mile, Forrest gump
I hadn't actually thought about it, but I never wondered why the real reason Brooke's didn't rob the grocery to get sent back. It's a great example of prison fully doing what it intended to do: rehabilitate inmates. Brooke's did not want to commit crimes anymore but at the same time, he was so old at that point, there was nothing else left for him. It must be an ethereal feeling to be trapped in the middle like that.
another reading is that Andy Died and Red met him in heaven. the tunnel was purgatory. although not a popular interpretation.
A great revenge movie. How to set the scale of Lady Justice in balance again. The powder tossed on the fresh fish after their shower was a de-louse-ing concoction. It's mentioned only once, in passing, that Red committed murder, "The only guilty man in Shawshank" Red says.
For another outstanding Tim Robbins flick, I'd suggest Bull Durham, also starring Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon. It's ostensibly about a minor league baseball team - the Durham Bulls. But it's really a meditation on a whole lotta other, more philosophical things. Costner's best, for my money.
4:16 the "we're reel'n 'em in" guy is Morgan Freeman's son. He also provides Red's parole photo. The Stephen King short story provides Red's criminal background that was downplayed I think for the movie. Red killed his wife and daughters.
Greatest movie ever. Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's - The Green Mile - should be your next viewing.
It's like a knife in the heart to hear Tim Robbins known for Austin Powers and Green Lantern, and no mention of Jacob's Ladder (no hate, just makes me feel old hah). That's a _really_ good film, and Robbins' performance is masterful.
"you were convicted of not scanning everything at self-checkout"
"my lawyer fucked me"
bam
shawshank
We all know The Green Mile will be next
You know why I rank this movie fairly highly?
No chicks. No romantic subplot to drag each act down, It's just wham bam, intro, rest of the movie.
Men becoming friends is so cathartic.
You should watch the great escape. Three hour movie, so a bit long but excellent movie.
tim robbins was in Top Gun ... he played the role of Merlin
Omg, that security guard, is that the dude in Dexter new series? He looks so young here.
I really want to see a sequel, where Andy and red are fixing boats for living.
Haywood was a time traveler that went ahead 7 years to get Hank Williams greatest hits record.
It's great!
Were you not teary/ cry with the brooks being outside, ending his scene ? A lot of people have a strong reaction , I did
The white powder is against lice.
fwiw this is the #1 rated movie on imdb and has been for a long time.
Another epic movie like this is "The power of one" 1992 ;)
Funny you brought up Tom Hanks. I heard he turned this roll down to do Forrest Gump.
Well that was stupid
Based on the book written by Stephen King starring Tim Robbins as Andy Dufrane who gets sentenced to prison for allegedly murdering his wife and lover. While there he meets "Red", another convict who is trying to get on parole. Together they began to develop a friendship
poor Brooks.
FUN FACT: They actually wanted Tom Hanks to play Andy but he committed to Forrest Gump instead because he thought it was stronger plot wise. Now I like Forrest Gump, but it can't come close to touching Shawshank.
A little-known song for "Andy Dufresne"": czcams.com/video/5-fcvnYDEJ0/video.html
Even a song for "Warden Norton": czcams.com/video/JDNd81-QQHs/video.html
A song of the season from the same singer-songwriter: czcams.com/video/wYHleFFhlFk/video.html (It even fits "Detective John McClane's" journey to California in "Die Hard.";)
Fantastic film, and Green Mile is even better in my opinion. Frank Darabont did fantastic with both
I also recommend the green mile.
Red is being sarcastic when he says he’s the “only guilty man in Shawshank”
I’m aware
duh
This is one of the only movies that is actually better than the book
Great reaction!! Hopefully you react to the Truman show if you haven't seen it. Another great 90s movie.
Why did it take you so long to react to this masterpiece you've always heard about? Great reaction though!
The Green Mile should be next!!!
You should react to Glory 1989.
Great review Please do movies GOOD WILL HUNTING and FOREST GUMP and SCENT OF A WOMAN AND CASABLANCA.
If you want something different, I recommend T-34. Its a Russian War movie available in English Dub. Its one of their biggest Blockbuster. I honestly think its the Best movie of 2019.
The Green Mile - if you haven‘t watched it. (And a gem that hasn‘t really hit YT yet: Dances Wirh Wolves)
They cut the scene where Andy goes to the Bank :(
Mystic River please… if you enjoyed Tim Robbins
This movie is exhibit A in the need for top-down reforms of the prisin system
I mean, I’m almost 100% positive reforms have been made to some degree since the 1940s-50s lol. Not sure exactly how it’s like today though
"take a shit"??
in my country we leave them
So i guess you haven't seen American History X (1998) yet! 👌🏼✌🏼
If you want to see Tim Robbins in one of his best roles, watch Bull Durham. It’s a hilarious movie about minor-league baseball.
That's how you get deloused.
It's interesting to me the number of CZcamsrs who watch this and initially think that the Shawshank prisoners are "welcoming" or "cheering on" the new inmates. I'm not sure in what reality that makes sense.
Obviously I know they aren’t “welcoming” them in lol. But the prisoners present it in that way
@@MovieFusion No, no. ‘Welcoming’ is a word someone else used. lol.
@@Pixelologist ooh alright
Я тоже вижу некоторое сходство между Тимом Роббинсом и Томом Хэнксом. Вы второй реакционер, кто видит тоже это сходство. А самое интересное, что из всех виденных мною американских фильмов самыми лучшими, можно сказать, недосягаемыми я считаю фильмы THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION и FORREST GUMP. И я вижу сходство не только между этими актёрами, но и между их персонажами. Хотя один из них с явно высоким IQ, а другой наоборот.
TWD is nothing without Frank Darabont
Eh I mean he only directed the first season and the show arguably didn’t start getting really popular until seasons 2-5
I like the first season and all but he had some weird plans for the show going forward so I’m kinda glad he left
@@MovieFusion but Darabont was the showrunner
They fired him due to creative differences
@@Zombiesnyder13 I'm aware, he was showrunner for only the 1st season. And I've heard of the plans he had for future seasons and I didn't like the sound of it so I am kinda glad it went in the direction it did instead. Although he is a fantastic director, I just didn't like the ideas he had
You must have missed it, Red's girl was cheating, he killed them both.
I know you love your shooty shooty bang bang movies 😂😂😂 but please can we have more movies like this. Watching too much of that stuff warps your mind. Opening scene you said Andy is gonna go after the guys that killed his wife so you were kinda expecting a revenge action thriller maybe for a second and at the end you check for end credits. I'm messing with you of course but there is a little bit of truth to what I'm saying if you're honest with yourself.
I was not expecting an action thriller at all lol. A murder scene doesn’t make a movie an action thriller. And honestly I’ve seen plenty of movies that aren’t action w/ after credits so I usually check to make sure but it’s not an older thing, usually more for movies from the past decade
@@MovieFusion I know bro, I was messing but I would honestly love you to do more movies out of your comfort zone. I love my superhero/horror/creature feature and action movies too but your channel gets saturated by it. Hey I'll stick around whatever you watch because you're reactions and breakdowns are awesome.
@@NimpanZ Honestly I do though, a lot of the movies I watch here aren't even my choices, it's what you guys vote for. A lot of the time it does end up being movies I normally wouldn't watch but I usually end up enjoying.
@@MovieFusion Around 250 uploads in the last year. Some movies split into 2 videos, some trailer reactions, some q&a's etc. Here are the ones that aren't horror/slasher, superhero, creature feature, fantasy, action/adventure:
1 Shawshank
2 knives out
3 interstellar
4 fight club - (borderline)
5 saving private Ryan
6 sixth sense
That's pretty much it. That's what I meant by saturation. I know the Patreons get to pick the plays and your reactions and breakdowns are always amazing regardless of what is chosen but if you want to grow, set parameters for them. Ask them for one week to suggest movies with little to zero violence. Half of them won't have a single clue because it's harder than you think, the other half may just come up with incredible suggestions.
@@NimpanZ I mean.. you're talking about saturation, but you listed like 5-6 different genres that I have done. There aren't that many more genres past that lol
Regardless, there's more to diversity than just the genre. Again though, I just watch what you guys mostly want to see or what is popular at the moment. I'm open to anything, but I don't make movie watch decisions purely off of doing something completely different every time
And anyways, it is okay to have preferences. I don't intend on watching any romantic comedies on the channel for example, because those are not the type of movies I'd watch for this channel for obvious reasons.
I appreciate the suggestion, but I actually do not think that method would help growth. CZcams encourages consistency more than anything, especially when that consistency includes popular uploads. Doing movies that people on my channel do not care to watch won't really help.
You say in your top 50 then go on to say it has the best character development you have ever seen..... um that dont make sense ?
How doesn’t that make sense?
@@MovieFusion It means there are up to 49 other films with different but equally as good qualities?
Your cute lol
