Mob Movie Monday Review "The Shawshank Redemption" Tim Robbins And Morgan Freeman | Michael Franzese 

Most people who go to prison end up like that.

That kid is long gone, and this old con is all that's left

My favourite line in the movie is “stop... or my Mom will shoot”

Mine is.........cocainum

My favorite line is “What’s up Big Perm,I mean Big Worm”!

Stockholm syndrome

God I love this movie

@@skiggy007 Why Stockholm?

@@fa7842 the Stockholm syndrome is when a hostage gets feelings or sympathizes for their captor, named after a case that happened in Stockholm

I have friends who i see 3 months a year(Others are gone longer of course) and those 3 are usually June, July and August. They hit the streets during summer, eventually can't figure out anything to do with their lives and end up doing something stupid to get thrown back in. So many times its a crime nobody on earth would commit. But they can't function outside the structure of those walls and it's saddening to see. They simply don't know how to anymore. That quote from the film most definitely nails it. And not just the quote but the way Freeman delivers it. The false hope of getting back to how it used to be and the desperation they feel. It's heavy. Except for the worst of the worst, it's hard not to feel for a lot of these guys. The idea of an innocent being thrown inside makes it that much easier for the viewer to relate.

1994 was an amazing year for movies. You also had Speed, True lies, Wolf, The professional, Legends of the fall, Clear and present danger, and others i could go on with.

Interesting! All three set standards for how films were to be made. Lots of wanna be films like them in the years to follow. Great post!

All my favorite movies 🍿

A lot of people think 1994 was the best year for movies ever. I think it was myself.

Forest Gump never should have beaten Shawshank

So sorry for your loss. My parents lost a child and two of my best friends died. I am glad you can go forward. Hugs, from far away.

God bless brother

So sorry for your loss. Glad you're with us brother.

God let millions of children die in concentration camps. If he does have a plan for us, it's a pretty terrible one so far.

Good thoughts and prayers to you

He not busy being born is busy dying - bob dylan

That line stuck with me

Me also. I don't know how many times I have watched it but it never gets old.

Same here. I watched Shawshank Redemption at least 10 times.

Absolutely..!!

Same

this and goodfellas.

Wasn’t it? An amazing movie. Probably my all time favorite.

Hope is delayed disappointment

I got my ex girlfriend a piece of the oak tree with that inscribed on it.

@@michaelfranzese love to have a sit down with you Michael I was so lucky I never got pinched only by the grace of God I live for him now and the best decision I ever made.

yup..

20 minute long video posted 5 minutes ago hmm seems legit

@@sosiggang2101 yep. Gotta get those likes man.

@@michaelfranzese We need you to review the great boardwalk empire. i absolutely loved that..

@@michaelfranzese did you ever think about escaping?

@@michaelfranzese I am a big fan from Iraq and I appreciate the videos. Could you do a review of the movie kill the irishman?

Actual guards are actually assholes. Believe me.

@@Appetitebeats487 Coming from a couple of people who've served prison time, some are pretty cool and are just doing their jobs. Yes, some are legitimate assholes.

Best line in a movie with so many great lines.

Red disagrees. Says he thinks he did it so he could feel normal again, even if only for a little while.

@@zedwpd Unreliable narrator maybe. I think Andy was smarter then that. And i recall in the book it's mentioned as well.

@@barryschalkwijk9388 as good as the movie is the book was great. In the book it doesn't push as hard that Andy was innocent. I think the evidence in the book points toward Andy being guilty.

@@adamirishconundrum851 disagree, i've read it 2 times and though you don't get the "convict with hard evidence" you'd have to rely on an unreliable narrator to assume he is guilty. Imho.

@@barryschalkwijk9388 it is left up to the reader. I have read it 3 times

He's produced a few movies.

Yes he would..

Clever 2?

Call up Little Carmine and let’s make it happen.

I read it as a 'great DICTATOR' and I agree to both.

I think both were fantastic.

@@sanitary103 I enjoyed the book. I've read it two or three times. I just think the movie told the story more clearly (only one warden, etc.).

I'm a big book reader and this was the ONLY time the film was better for me.

I was thinking of writing the same thing! Loved the book & loved the movie. Excellent actors for each character.

Yes. Also Debbie does Dallas was a better movie. Just kidding. spreading a laugh

@Ben Franklin That was so sad.

"hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies..."

hope and change is even more dangerous

He was lucky they never moved him to new cell all those years.

Sausages

He said it in the movie. "In here I'm the guy who can get things. Out there all you need is the Yellow Pages."

Kind of like when Andy gave him the harmonica, Red seemed almost scared of it, because it gave hope. In the end he finally worked up the nerve to at least blow it. He wanted hope, but also believed in the dangers he talked about.

and if the warden had bothered to open it....

Well said 💯 though the grace of God 🙏

Michael your an inspiration to others in or out of the can. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family 🇬🇧

Ha! I just saw that note Andy left for the warden lmao, the ultimate burn. 😂

Not sure but I don't think they actually on the set together even in when they meet in the restaurant scene if you notice they always show the front of their faces or the back of their heads, never face to face...

@@darkstar1650 They are on the set together a number of times. Who can forget the shoot out at the end between them both?

@@rivermike5257 Watch the scene again, you never see them face to face and alot of the back of their heads with doubles.

It reminds me of the Family Guy parody; "He was a fat drink of water" (Cleveland Brown as Red).

“His farts never made a sound again”

@@DavieLad85 yum yum pigs bum makes good chewing gum

@@DavieLad85 lol that fart line makes me laugh every time 🤣 _Carter as the Warden:_ C'mon! I'll cripple that guy who keeps graping you in the shower! *CUTS TO JOE BOGGS GETTING HIS SHINS BEATEN INTO JELLY* _Peter Dufresne:_ awww! I like that guy!:(

Fellow CO here, and that is NO LIE! Respect goes a long way, and always *always* keep your word. Respect Brother.

😂Red with the punchlines

Much respect to you

@@donskeezy4042 Thank you

I forgot all about The Town

@@west-texas9806 it’s soo good

Actually the florist was a real person and I think he was In the Irish mob is Boston

Yes that would be a good one

The Shawshank Redemption isn't a mob movie.

Awesome. I am a couple of hrs away from Mansfield. Unfortunately I only recently found out about this movie being filmed at the old penitentiary. There was a documentary that aired after the movie a few years ago. I would have loved to crawl through that tunnel. LOL :)

Elmo's minute in the movie is one of the best minutes in film history. Looks, mannerisms, tonality. Brilliant.

Little Odessa (1994) too

Blood In Blood Out.

I always thought that myself. Cool hand Luke and this movie are the best all time prison movies.😁🥲

@@deborahkusaj1928 Agreed, I love both films very much.

Myy nigga

Lolol why though

Smiles n cries lol terrible script

@@dataclast That part was bad but there is great dialogue like when Alonzo is talking to Hoyt after they killed Roger and took his stash. ‘I walk a higher path son, and I have the key to all the doors’.

LA had cops just like that basically gangs with tattoos and nicknames. The Regulators were one

"why he chose enchilada night i will never know."

He should review Miller's Crossing its a Coen Brothers movie.

Yeah love both of those Movies! Even Raising AriZoNa I liked but that was like way back 80’s 😂. Fargo was on last night, I had to watch lol 😂✌️

@@Mattschannelism yeah, Miller's Crossing is top notch, and really underated. Came it the same year as Goodfellas and Godfather 3, kind of went under many people's radar.

@@peteyn.y.7960 raising Arizona has some of the best expository scenes of all time

@@dennisfischer7676 The police chase scene is epic.

The director's cut

Clancy Brown.

Ya Clancy Brown. Apparently in real life he's a really nice guy, basically the polar opposite of Captain Hadley the character he played.

@@CrazyMunky84 And he Likes Money.

@@Barbarian1244 Do you know anybody who doesn't that isn't like a buddhist monk or something?

@@CrazyMunky84 you don't get the joke?

What if i am not a Christian? What happens then?

Christ is our savior.

@Rawiri Micheal Dawson That questions is not relevant to the topic. It is not a comment on Hell.

@@gaminggaminggaminggaming2976 There has been volumes written about this without universal agreement on the subject. It cannot be answered in this forum.

@@chuckcanuck3445 that's not an answer..... that's just throwing away the topic

The book ended the same way. Red was on the bus and narrated that speech, "I hope that the ocean is as blue as my dreams. I hope."

Subbed for about 2 weeks now Michael! One of the best channels! Great stuff, and Rapidly growing Mike! 😳😂. Great job!! 🙏

lol... They should probably get a Italian to play a Italian

Nope. Get Eric Bana to play Michael and we're good.

The theater box office numbers when it was released were nothing special. The movie's reputation really took off when it was released for home video rental a year later (back in the days when success there could potentially mean a lot of money) and it went huge primarily on word of mouth recommendations.
