Very intense and in real life I still think the guards don't look at his pics on the wall but they would look behind ' Rita' just for contraband and ..lol...if they did look ...holy shit ....Andy u were in big trouble !
RB2331 Lol true. If you were looking for something, you wouldn't look behind a poster. But I wonder why Andy picked a poster that could potentially get taken down.
I don't know, remember Andy was a smart guy, I think he knew there was always a risk of his plan being rumbled and there was nothing he could've done about it.
Everyone goes on about the poster. That honestly doesn’t compare with the fact that the warden almost walked away with Andy’s bible which had the pick in it.
@Marc T Imagine you being the warden and find a dangerous tool hidden inside a bible. What would you do? I would double the surveillance and move him out to another cell. Either he is found out or he isn't. There is no another chance after being found out the first time.
I never got this until today that the "salvation lies within" line was a prelude to how Andy would hide his rock hammer. The rock hammer was the tool for the salvation and the bible helped protect that...that's so clever!
+Nicholas Lindsey so much more intense now that I see this again thinking of how close they were to discovering his tunnel and his rock hammer, like it was seriously in the wardens hands and the warden almost touched the poster and the gaurds could have just brushed it and it would have fallen away.
I always liked how the Warden appears to be a somewhat decent guy in the early parts of the movie; it makes him that much more evil as we see his true colors later on.
If I'm not mistaken, in the original novel, there's several wardens. Presumably they didn't want to hire several actors for the same part in the same film. It's also why his personality changes so much across the film.
@@spareumbrella8477 thanks for pointing this out! Continuity requirement of the film kinda muddles some things, like how no one ages over a 20 year period.
I personally don't think he hid the pick inside the bible. It just makes so much more sense to hide it behind the poster, and Andy was so much smarter than any of us. I feel he purposely carved that pick slot in the bible when putting it in the safe, purely because of the "salvation is within" line. A deep irony.
I saw someone else comment that the reason why he probably kept it in the bible is that on the off chance they did find the hole , he would still have the pick axe to try again with.
But he would have needed a place to hide it before he started digging the hole. He couldn't hide it behind the poster before the hole existed and his cell would have been searched before he started.
i always would like to imagine several fan theories. 1.) andy was incredibly intelligent hence making VP at a bank at the age of 30 during the era when seniority still meant something. (well this isn't a theory red in teh movie said andy was a young banker) 2.) andys ability to maintain cool, keep his composure, endure the hardships of prison life, given his age he probably served in WW2 as a army or navy officer given his educational background. 3.) andy is just 10 steps ahead of everyone else his ability to manipulate individuals without them even knowing it that benefits andys survival in the prison... that's some next level stuff.
Was he praising the Warden, or warning the warden? “Keep watch because you dont know when the master of the house is coming”; obviously the warden thinks Andy is saying “stay on your toes because you never know when the Warden will show up.” What Andy really is saying is “Watch out, I am in charge here, and when I want to, I will bring this whole place down.” Warden cannot fathom a prisoner is the one who is actually in charge. But as Andy is innocent and literally everyone else is a criminal, Andy is the actual Master of the house. As the movie progresses Andy set the Warden up to go to jail, and walk out with the Wardens money.
@@daveyboy_ Both of you are wrong. In this context, it should read as "ingenious." Not that it much matters though, because you, Davey, didn't have to be such a prick about it.
Of all the amazing things in the film, the fact Andy knew the Warden's fake religousness and ego means he wouldn't open the bible but would have to be seen to have it memorised, is among the absolute best. Incredible little moment to recall back to later.
He hid the rock hammer inside the bible, 'Salvation lies within' is foreshadowing him escaping the prison using the rock hammer, which is inside the bible.
"I'd hate to deprive you of this" "Salvation lies within" little did he know how right he was, not only that but he was handing Andy his eventual freedom and the warden's own downfall. Salvation indeed.
liverzbbk Exodus meaning leaving, exit, departure etc. The Book of Exodus in the Bible is about the how israelites got freedom from slavery and mass departure of Israelites lead by Moses from Egypt to the Promise Land.
I’ve seen this movie a bunch of times, but just got this connection to this first passage Andy recites to the warden. “Watch ye therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house cometh”. What I took from that. Always be prepared and hide the tools, because you never know when a surprise inspection is coming.
@@tres9007 Of course he's smart. Remember when the warden shot himself? Red said, "I'd like to think other than the bullet that went through the warden's head, was how Andy Dufrense got the best of him!"
I wonder if he kept some spare rock for covering the first few millimeters past the poster. When he escaped, he couldnt turn around and plug it back up again.
it's possible andy was a religious person on the outside and combined with his spare time readin the bible would probably remember the bible from cover to cover.
@@joeswanson733 It's fiction dependent on the writing. Whatever the writers put is true, nothing else. Andy wasn't religious, the same as he wasn't a former librarian.
-Take the risk for a couple of weeks until you make a big enough hole in the wall. -Hide the rockhammer there, without having to carve the Bible. -Profit.
There's a continuation error here if you guys ever notice. At 1:53 the guard picks one of the figures Andy carved from the window, meanwhile knocks the rest of the stones downs noticeable one tall one. At 2:14 the tall one is upright again.
That music that plays when Norton hands Andy the Bible back.. I wish they included it in the soundtrack. Even if you're having a bad day Thomas Newman music can lift your spirits.
found this comment while looking at indiana jones music: The "Grail Theme motif" is copied note for note, and is used twice by composer Thomas Newman in the movie The Shawshank Redemption. The first instance is at the end of the scene where Warden Norton supervises the guards tossing Andy's cell. The Warden leaves the cell with Andy's Bible, and the theme plays when the warden hands the Bible back to Andy and says "Salvation is found within." The second instance of the theme is when Andy is in the Warden's office, and sees the sign hanging on the wall that says "His judgment cometh and that right soon."
I keep this DVD on my desk and watch parts occasionally. The end makes my heart sing almost as loudly as when the warden got the message. One of the greater movies ever produced. HOLLYWIERD SCREWED THEIR POODLE THIS TIME AND LET A GOOD ONE THRU !!!!
This scene has such a different meaning on second viewing. Andy is fearful, but not for the reasons the warden thinks. "Almost forgot. Hate to deprive you of this, salvation lies within". And in his blind arrogance, he hands him back his salvation, both figuratively and literally. Such great writing.
The master of the house line has so many meanings. It could be interpreted as Andy must beware of his tunnelling because he does not know when the warden or his guards might show up. It can also be meant as subtle threat to be warden as Andy knows what he’s doing and to treat him with civility or he’ll expose his secrets after he escapes. The salvation lies within line could mean the rock hammer inside the bible but also the hope that compels andys desire to escape, his reminders of the outside world such as the music and the beer. I like the think that’s what compelled Andy do both of those things
"salvation lies within" Andy when talking about music: "it's in here (head), and in here (heart). They can't get that. Haven't you ever felt that way about music? You need it so you don't forget. That there are places in the world not made of stone. That there's something inside that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours."
This is one of the all time great movies. Everybody gets what they deserve in the end (Samuel Norton, Byron Hadley, Andy Dufrense) and justice is served. The Biblical principle of reaping and sowing in action. Something Mr. Norton forgot about.
YES!!! i had this exact thought years ago ... you would obviously put the hammer in the hole because if the hole gets discovered, you're screwed anyway. the hammer in the bible makes for the nice ironic twist of 'salvation lies within' though similarly, andy would never wear the warden's shoes to his cell on his last night. it's incredibly risky because if any guard or inmate looked at his shoes for a moment and called him out on it, his entire scheme would likely be foiled after 17 years of effort. instead, he would save up a few bucks over the years, and buy a cheap pair of shoes the morning after escaping. much smarter plan.
@Indian Nayak This is how. Imagine you had never seen this movie before. Would you have any clue how tense you should be, knowing what you know now, watching it?
*Warden:* Any favorite passage? *Andy:* "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." *Warden:* Ah, Ezekiel 23:20. I always liked that one. But I prefer, "she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you." *Andy:* Deuteronomy 22:21. *:3*
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee
A Memorable Scene in a Very Memorable and Remarkable Film. You may want to consider calling it the "Salvation Lies Within" or the "Salvation" Scene. Most Folks will know what it means. Thanks for Sharing
Hope is a good thing ,rather the best of things and no good thing ever dies. -Andy "Some birds are not meants to be cages because their feathers are too bright." -Red "He crawled 500 yards of shit and came out clean" -Red "Salvation lies within." These quotes from the film moved me every single time I watched it...and inspired me from within. Great film indeed.
Just realised Andy's 'favourite' passage actually mirrored the scene... 'Watch therefore, for ye know now when the master of the house cometh'... after Red told him about the surprise inspections, he was just waiting for the warden to come. If he hadn't read any passages from the bible, the warden upon testing him may have opened the bible to read from it. Salvation truly lay within.
Translation Andy: Watch and make sure the Warden isn't there when you're hiding shit in your bible Warden: I am the boss here. Do as I say and we won't have any problems.
I love the bible Readings they are both very passive aggressive. Andy saying I gotta watch out Because I don't know when you are coming. And the Warden saying that if you listen to him everything will be fine. Also of course "Salvation lies within". Every line of every scene of this movie has a purpose, which is why it is one of my all time favorite films
Watching this the first time, this is just an ordinary scene of great dramatic quality between the main character and the antagonist. Watching this the second time it takes on a whole new extra dimension of suspense. Well acted and well written.
Its sick how someway, somehow, I was thankful that the Captain came into the cell and brought the warden in... and the viewer got the innuendo that the Captain briefed the Warden on Andys skills. I felt as a viewer, as if the Captain was a hero for a moment and kept Andy safe.
The way they used the Bible to depict one another. Beware of the master always be on guard. Then the warden whose so consumed within himself believed he ruled the world. That’s why this is my favorite movie.
Loved the film and this scene. Dufresne was more astute, more patient than all the state penitentiary staff. Good Lord, have 21 years actually have passed by already? -DLM
The poster was luck one, the bible with the miniature pick axe in it was luck two, but you know what luck three was? Having a cell directly at the end of the building.
trivia for us nerds: the warden says salvation lies within, and andy's message in the bible at the end says salvation lay within .... nice little turn from the present tense to the past tense
When I first learned that Clancy Brown voiced Mr. Crabs in spongebob, I was shocked. I mean, here's an actor who practacly played a bad guy on almost every movie I've seen so far. Talk about irony.
Captains don't normally do cell searches and Wardens don't usually watch over the search. That's a lowly bottom rung guard's job. The highest rank I've ever seen enter a cell was a sergeant.
Andy had a close call, here. He already got the rock hammer earlier in the movie and he may have already carved out the hole in the Bible to hide it. :)
i don't know...i'm thinking there was no reason to hide the hammer in the bible until the end. if they find the hole, he's screwed anyway. why create 2 places to get himself caught?
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." George Orwell.
- Pleased to see you reading this (Bible). Any favorite passages? - "Watch ye, therefore,for ye know not... ...when the master of the house cometh." Mark 13 35. - I've always liked that one.- But I prefer... ..."I am the light of the world. Ye that followeth me shall have the light of life." - John, chapter 8, verse 12.
I like the fact that Andy knew the bible verses off by heart, just from the numbers. The fact that he (must have) memorized the bible ahead of time hints at what a goody-two-shoes he was before he went to jail.
“Can’t say I approve of this, tear it down!”

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

John Chapter 8 Verse 12"I am the light of the world whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life"
''salvation lies within'' had never been truer
Never get sick of this movie
This is a really great movie I watch over and over ... beautiful!
The same !
If Mr. Krabs were inspecting Andy’s cell he’d try to look for hidden money
A Memorable Scene in a Very Memorable and Remarkable Film. You may want to consider calling it the "Salvation Lies Within" or the "Salvation" Scene. Most Folks will know what it means. Thanks for Sharing
Hope is a good thing ,rather the best of things and no good thing ever dies.
-Andy
"Some birds are not meants to be cages because their feathers are too bright."
-Red
"He crawled 500 yards of shit and came out clean"
-Red
"Salvation lies within."
These quotes from the film moved me every single time I watched it...and inspired me from within.
Great film indeed.
Tossing the cells is just an excuse. The truth is... I have watched this movie at least 5 times and still enjoyed it each time.
Just realised Andy's 'favourite' passage actually mirrored the scene... 'Watch therefore, for ye know now when the master of the house cometh'... after Red told him about the surprise inspections, he was just waiting for the warden to come. If he hadn't read any passages from the bible, the warden upon testing him may have opened the bible to read from it. Salvation truly lay within.
"rips down the poster"
And just like that, Andy Dufrane was gone......
The acting and attention to detail were incredible in this movie. Absolutely timeless movie!!!!
Wbo else noticed when the warden opened the Bible and it opened to the book of Exodus? Fantastic!
Translation
Andy: Watch and make sure the Warden isn't there when you're hiding shit in your bible
Warden: I am the boss here. Do as I say and we won't have any problems.
I love the bible Readings they are both very passive aggressive. Andy saying I gotta watch out Because I don't know when you are coming. And the Warden saying that if you listen to him everything will be fine. Also of course "Salvation lies within". Every line of every scene of this movie has a purpose, which is why it is one of my all time favorite films
Watching this the first time, this is just an ordinary scene of great dramatic quality between the main character and the antagonist. Watching this the second time it takes on a whole new extra dimension of suspense. Well acted and well written.
Its sick how someway, somehow, I was thankful that the Captain came into the cell and brought the warden in... and the viewer got the innuendo that the Captain briefed the Warden on Andys skills. I felt as a viewer, as if the Captain was a hero for a moment and kept Andy safe.
Most intense scene and we didn’t even know it yet
2:30
Warden: “Salvation lies within”
Andy: “Literally”
Salvation lies within
Absolutely right
The way they used the Bible to depict one another. Beware of the master always be on guard. Then the warden whose so consumed within himself believed he ruled the world. That’s why this is my favorite movie.
Loved the film and this scene. Dufresne was more astute, more patient than all the state penitentiary staff. Good Lord, have 21 years actually have passed by already? -DLM
I shudder to think what would have happened if Norton had discovered what Raquel was hiding...
The poster was luck one, the bible with the miniature pick axe in it was luck two, but you know what luck three was? Having a cell directly at the end of the building.
What a great movie. The story was superb. And the acting amazing. Thanks for sharing.
trivia for us nerds: the warden says salvation lies within, and andy's message in the bible at the end says salvation lay within .... nice little turn from the present tense to the past tense
When I first learned that Clancy Brown voiced Mr. Crabs in spongebob, I was shocked. I mean, here's an actor who practacly played a bad guy on almost every movie I've seen so far. Talk about irony.
The casting of this film was near-perfect
Captains don't normally do cell searches and Wardens don't usually watch over the search. That's a lowly bottom rung guard's job. The highest rank I've ever seen enter a cell was a sergeant.
“Salvation lies within.”
Little did he know...
Andy had a close call, here. He already got the rock hammer earlier in the movie and he may have already carved out the hole in the Bible to hide it. :)
he most likely had already carved it out.
That's why this scene like most of the movie is just priceless.
many people probably don't think about this but Andy couldn't escape without being on the far cell so he wouldn't dig into another cell.
YoMama Skillet iv though of that many time
i don't know...i'm thinking there was no reason to hide the hammer in the bible until the end. if they find the hole, he's screwed anyway. why create 2 places to get himself caught?
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
George Orwell.
One of the best movies ever made cleverly put together
- Pleased to see you reading this (Bible). Any favorite passages?
- "Watch ye, therefore,for ye know not... ...when the master of the house cometh." Mark 13 35.
- I've always liked that one.- But I prefer... ..."I am the light of the world. Ye that followeth me shall have the light of life."
- John, chapter 8, verse 12.
Thanks for repeating it I didn't hear it the first time
Get Andy in a poker tournament. He’d bluff anyone... along with that ace in his bible
By far one on my favorite movies of all time, Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman absolutely killed their roles
I like the fact that Andy knew the bible verses off by heart, just from the numbers. The fact that he (must have) memorized the bible ahead of time hints at what a goody-two-shoes he was before he went to jail.
hey guys you for got to look behind the poster
0:23-0:27, 1:04- 1:07, 1:15-1:23 and 2:30. That's an awful lot of foreshadowing.
This video has the best title of any video on CZcams.
Psalm 119:133 KJV
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
He could have just simply put the pick in the hole he’s diggin to escape.
Maybe lower the sound a bit... I was still able to almost hear them speaking!
The best ever movie I have watched ....after Pather Panchali by Ray
Never gets old....
Tears off the Rita Hayworth poster; there's a 1977 Farah Fawcett poster under it.
Salvation did lie within.
In 1:05 when Warden and Andy are talking about the bible, it just totally made me think of two nerds talking about a sci fi game or something idek
“Salvation lies within.”
Oh it certainly does.
Rewatching this it’s if not the most tense scene in the entire movie
