The Shawshank Redemption is A PERFECT MOVIE | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction & Review 

Without a doubt, absolutely adorable

but she russian

Absolutely love that! Just one more 🖕 to warden Norton!

So they say salvation lies within.

He's digging a hole. Why does he need to hide it in a book? He can just leave it where he left off digging.

@@gregbard - we saw him hiding it in the book only once during this room search. That was early in the movie and so the hole was not big enough.

Great catch! I hadn't noticed that one before!

Yeah she is 👍

Absolutely

Absolutely agree.

I also agree. She could be a future author?

She's wife material.

So true.

AMEN🙏

i saw this movie many times... but i cried with her like when i saw that movie first time.....

I agree that was an excellent reaction video. She has a good heart indeed and so perceptive and full of empathy as well, which makes her reaction videos so great to watch. Here's a break that she can take with a fantastic comedy from about the same time period i.e. the early 90s - "Cool Runnings". It is not the usual, run-of-the-mill slapstick type of comedy, but one of those rare movies that you remember for its excellence and its positivity. And it is based on actual events. And if she wants to see a more serious movie, "Rain Man" would be a great choice.

It warms my heart that she didn't rejoice when the warden shot himself.

Good pick up I never noticed that

Steven said it in the book

🤯

Dayum I never got that before

Yeah they took the meaning from Redemption and translated it wrongly into Escaping. It's like calling Return Of The Jedi The Defeat Of The Space Nazis...lol

Yeah I think it's a mistake, but the movie isn't based on the evasion of Andy. I think it not remove the emotions of the movie and there's not a huge suspense in it. So it's basically not so stupid, it not ruin the film as you think.

Yeah, I'm confused on why they don't just call it Shawshank.

@@fafenel Yes, I agree. It's as much Red's story as it is Andy's. I think Red had the greater redemption arc.

The people in charge of the translation had probably already seen 1979's "Escape From Alcatraz" & realized that this was the same basic idea, just tweaked a bit, sort of contrived &, also, "...Alcatraz" was based on a true story.

I absolutely love this movie and never knew Stephen King wrote it after all these years.

Agreed, i actually commented on her recent video asking her to do this and Green Mile. Can't wait!

@@captndawn9222 The poor girl will be an absolute wreck 😭. That's a tough one for even a "hard-hearted" individual! But, yeah.....that should be the next one.

Geez, poor Dasha! "Green Mile" is gonna be hard enough! But surely you realize then people will start calling for "Private Ryan" after that. Y'all trying to take away what makes her the Dasha we all love to watch! Corrupting this poor girl!

@@greenpeasuit she already did private Ryan

One of the saddest stories ever.

@SlickRicHelicopter THAT'S one of the parts that hits me so hard ALSO. I deal with a lot of people who commit suicide while in jail or prisons. I'm an international prisoner advocate for OVER 35 years. I deal with every level of the system from my juveys TO my people on Death Row. I can tell you one thing, it doesn't get any easier with time. It's very hard to go through when you get that phone call from a prison or family member telling you that your client has committed suicide. That's the reason why I ALMOST NEVER turn my phone off. Since there's three different time zones here and others globally. I make sure that my people can reach me whenever they need to. The ONLY times my phone is turned off is when I am at a wake OR at a funeral. Many people don't understand when it comes to lawyers, paralegals, prisoner advocates, and so many others who work in the other legal community. We really don't take the usual holidays off that other people do. When it comes to holidays such as Thanksgiving but especially Christmas. THAT IS actually are busiest times when it comes to self harm incidents and suicides. People feel a lot of depression, anxiety, psychotic breaks. Many people inside can't deal with the separation from their family more about those times of year. I'm pretty sure that you're aware of with Kalief Browder because his casemade the news nationally. HE was one of "my kids" for almost the whole time that he was inside. When I lost my Kalief~that absolutely took me down to a level I've never been at before in all these decades. He literally broke my heart into pieces. He is one of "my kids" that I love and miss and think about to this day. I had to pull back from my advocacy work because I could not function for a little over a month. Even after all the of the deaths by old age, violence, suicides and through executions. I had never stopped advocating until I lost Kalief. His death came with the heels of me losing an innocent man on death row..ALSO it was right around the time of.a suicide of a woman's case I had spent over a decade on. We'd managed to get her OFF of Death Row decades ago. It was about a week prior when she had shot herself in the head. THEN I lost my Kalief and I pretty much lost my mind~I could no longer focus. I was literally sick for a month with all that was going on. Between not being able to sleep, intense headaches, hand trimmers, and vomiting~the stress was really getting to me. People have to understand that when all these things come back to back. Especially when it comes to death row cases and some of them in multiple states of running back to back. These symptoms along advocates and others are par for the course. But this time it was just really bad for me after I lost him. I realized I was going to be no good for anybody else until I was able to pull myself back together. So for the first time in over 35 years, I had to fall back and collect myself. This movie affects me because not only do I deal with guilty people, but I also deal with innocent people in the system. I understand where Brooks is coming from, because I work with an advocacy group specifically for what we call long-timers. These are people who have done at least 20 years or more, many of them are disabled now and no threat to the public. They go through the same emotions and disorientation as he did since the world has changed so much. Some of these people have been in for almost 40 years, they have no idea how to even use the cell phone because IT JUST DIDN'T EXIST BACK THEN. They have to learn how to navigate through a brand new world with things such as ATM machines, microwaves, computers, credit cards WITH THE CHIIPS IN THEM, escalators, and many other things that just didn't exist. It seems like such a simple thing for us, but in many ways it's a scary thing for someone who hasn't been around for 40 or in some cases 50 years if they got locked up and they were 16. There's a lot of issues of almost panic, when they stand on escalator and all of a sudden it begins to move underneath their feet. Brooks in a lot of ways is one of my favorite characters in this movie. In my advocacy I have to say I do love dealing with the elderly population. Not just because they deserve to be released because they serve so much more than their actual time. But because I love to see the joy that some of them have on their faces sometimes at discovering new things when they come out. ❤️

Just imagine it though - back then social security for OAPs was barely existent for many. For ex convict OAPs it would be completely non existent, no choice but to work until his body gave out and then starve/freeze to death with no money to carry on. Barbaric.

The weird thing about the guy who played brooks is that he lived almost 20 years after the movie was made and even then he already looked very old

Once Brooks is paroled and he's riding on the bus to the half-way house, notice him gripping the metal seat grip so hard due to his nervousness. A very small "action," but so revealing and telling.

It's an unfortunate problem of the Russian language. With some languages things get lost in translation, but in Russian too much gets added in translation. For example the movie "The Usual Suspects" in Russian is called "The Secret Villain".

@@JWar- Just goes to show how important the right translation can be.

And it entirely misses the point. The movie is about the “redemption” of Ellis Redding.

Maybe it's about the redemption of the warden. He does the only good deed he is capable of, making the ultimate sacrifice to rid the world of his evil presence. The only good Samuel Norton is a dead Samuel Norton.

@@JWar- The Sixth Sense was called "Boy That See Dead People", The Crying Game was called "Girl You Tell Your Friends Pretty Hot Turn Out To Be Man".

As hope is central theme to the movie it should have been called "Uma esperanca de liberdade".

Nice name - I never really got the name Shawshank Redemption. I never really saw that Andy had anything to redeem but for being a distant husband, and to be fair that makes his wife the transgressor for not divorcing him first rather than shacking up with a random guy (which ironically got her dead anyways).

@@mnomadvfx When you harm others unjustly you lose a piece of yourself and you have to redeem yourself through atonement. Redemption can also mean when things are taken from you unjustly and you win back what was wrongfully taken. It's the perfect word because it can work both ways. If you haven't seen it before you might think Andy is guilty and will redeem himself through his actions in prison. It turns out he is innocent, but the life that was stolen from him is redeemed with his victory in the end. It probably also has a deeper spiritual meaning too, because life can be so screwed up that it doesn't seem like life should even exist, but the victory over evil can be so sweet that it redeems the concept of existence overall.

​@@JWar-- I think the redemption is for Red. Rednwas on the same path as Brooks. Andy saved him and help him redeem himself. Hope is a good thing...

Not just film critics, the general audience too which is rare.

@@FrancoisDressler It's actually even the highest rated movie of all time among audiences, at least according to IMDb. It's the go-to-movie to reccommend to anyone and be sure that he is going to like it.

@@FrancoisDressler Not film critics at all, really. The critics have considered this to be a very good, but not great film - e.g. it ranks 72nd on the American Film Institute’s top 100 films. Shawshank Redemption is a viewer favorite, not a critics favorite.

@@markhamstra1083 72 is pretty high for the AFI list...

@@FrancoisDressler Anywhere on the AFI top 100 list is a good indicator of a quality movie, but 72 is not really close to being the greatest movie of all time in the critics’ opinions. “Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie of all time” really depends on who you are talking to. It scores very high in viewer reviews on Netflix, IMDb, etc., but has never scored equally high among film critics.

Nice use of foreshadowing

Not really, it's a minimal effort and expense for him to keep a vastly more useful resource happy. More likely he just brought them home and had his wife mail them the next day anyway. Or just had one of the guards do it on the way home in exchange for a favourable time shift/position in the prison. Notice that he is completely deadpan/political about explaining why the state Senate was very unlikely to approve funds for his library expansion - that is until he actually looks at the expression on Andy's face and realises how much it means to him, at which point he offers to post the letters. That realisation of how much it means to Andy is part of the leverage he uses on him to keep working after murdering his chance of freedom.

What makes it all the more a feel good story is Andy spent 20 years in prison and didn't look like he aged a day.

@@ckobo84 If you look closely, you can see where Andy got gray hairs around his temples and crow's feet by his eyes as he aged in prison. Also, he started wearing glasses.

I hear ya... In 1996 there was a movie called "A Time to Kill", which was a courtroom movie about the trial of a father (Sam Jackson) who is accused of killing his daughter's rapist. Great movie. Great suspense... Unless you watched it in french, where they literally changed the name of the film to "NON-GUILTY". Holy spoilers... :/

Yeah the name in my language of this movie is "Rita Hayworth - A key to escape" Kinda ambiguous but still could guess what's going to happen

@@danielmorency2242 great movie

@@danielmorency2242 Hate when they do that.

In German, the title is simply "The Condemned"/"The Sentenced" which is a rare example of the German version of a title not being completely crap. That being said, I prefer to watch movies in the original, because the dubbing is usually not to my taste...

I agree. I get why RU-vid has to limit what people can show for legal reasons but it's such a shame that these powerful human reactions can't be shared fully and freely.

Please...elaborate. heh

Yes, blasphemy is a victimless crime.

@@uk3h Let her decided.

He is also one of the most realistic villains in any movie. He just calmly excerts his power over people without any hesitation and remorse. He thinks of himself as a pious man, and all the convicted are just beneath him.

Younger folks would probably say Umbridge from Harry Potter is a worse villain, but they haven’t experienced the real world yet…

I have no idea why the hell they would do that.

Yes. Most stupid title ever. If I were Russian and about to watch this movie I would get really pissed.

He is also the Kurgan in Highlander

@@jimk2099 He's been in a lot of things. But, I figured she's more likely to have seen SpongeBob, and Mr Krabs is quite a different character than Hadley.

how?

Ahhhhh u just saying that cause she's beautiful. 😆. A lot of Russian women are sentimental. Are Eastern European and Russian women beautiful than American. Yes....

Good shout for Glory, it’s an underrated classic that doesn’t get mentioned as much as it should.

why do you capitalize every word?

Blasphemy isn’t swearing, per se. it’s taking the ‘lord’s’ name in vain (goddamnit, goddamn, Jesus fucking Christ etc)
