Especially in the old days as depicted here in this movie there was more acceptance for internal correctional punishment and violence than in our modern times.
Crows are incredibly smart. I had a neighbor who had a walnut tree and a crow was trying to break open a walnut, but wasn't having much luck. So I picked it up and the crow started scolding me like crazy. I looked up and made eye contact with the bird, crushed the nut, put the smashed nut on the ground, then still looking at the crow walked away. From then on walnuts kept dropping out of the sky next to me. When it happened I would open the nuts and leave them for the crows to eat. The amazing part was, the crows paid me back too. Sometimes literally. They started brining me presents. Small toys and trinkets, but they seemed to know that humans placed more value in little shiny metal disks because a lot of the time they would bring me coins. Sometimes they also brought me washers, but once a crow brought me a $5 bill. Those birds are really kind of scary smart.
Yeah, all those birds are smart, I've seen birds put nuts that couldn't break in the road to be run over, and then pick up the leftovers when the cars were gone
Little someone I know met a famous person anecdote: When I was younger I had a friend who met him. She loved his work in… something I can’t recall, but it was her big, oh gosh, it’s THAT PERSON! moment. He came to tour the newspaper she worked at. She was a very collected, professional young lady and she admitted she turned to mush and trilled, “I’m your biggest fan!” And he apparently smiled and said to the young journalists, “No, no, ladies, I’m your biggest fan.” I think someone had to mop her off the floor, lol, but apparently a nice guy in real life.
12:27 You definitely are not meant to feel bad. The fact that he is trying to crawl away crying for help is the ultimate irony, as that is what each one of his victims did while he was raping them.
8:42 This scene provides insight into these characters. They're _not_ gay. If they _were,_ well, there are three of them; they would be content with each _other._ No, they're sexual _predators._ They have a pathological need for sexual contact with someone with who does _not_ consent; who _resists._ That's why Bogs says, "It's _better_ when you resist."
@@noneya3635 Wait. Fill me in. What do you know about James Barrie that I don't. Unless I'm just wildly off on placing the name. That's the Peter Pan guy, right?
Indeed. Some can even hold more. At least ten, maybe even 11. It depends on the caliber and how chunky the manufacturer wants to make the cylinder. Some larger-caliber revolvers may only hold 5 rounds.
Agreed. His explanation of his name, Red, is funny because the character in the book was a red haired Irishman. "Maybe it because I'm Irish." Ignoring that and casting Freeman was perfect.
LOL it's easy to convince a crow to go grab things, especially if ithey're shiny or brightly colored things...harder to get them to bring them back. They are remarkably aquisitive. Much like ferrets. They find, then keep.
The reason why Andy opens up the conversation with "do you trust you're wife" was likely because the guards would just brush him off or hit him if he said anything that was mundane, it was all just to get Hadley's proper attention
This movie was filmed in Mansfield Ohio, about 5 hours south of Canada going through the border in Detroit Michigan. The prison closed down before filming started and they were working on moving prisoners out. They allowed good behavior inmates to be extras in the movie and one of my uncles actually made it into the movie. The prison now hosts a haunted house every October and it’s just a few hours north of me.
You ask, how can a guard get away with beating an inmate to death? Simple.......It's the 1940s, so what if an inmate got killed. Inmates have very few rights now, how do you think it was back then?
7:16 "How can a guard get away with sh!t like that?" It was the '40's and it was the US. Prison guards probably got away with a lot _worse._ Granted, the _main_ cause of this man's death is the beating he received from Captain Hadley, but they had just explained that the doctor had gone _home_ for the night, so this man _also_ lay in the medical bay _all night_ with _no medical care_ in a deteriorating _state._ Nowadays, there are laws against that. Every prison in the US is _required_ under US law to avail its prisoners of access to emergency medical treatment, 24 hours a day. If they had had a doctor on hand, and the man could've received _immediate_ medical care, he might've lived. Who's to say?
Nowadays there are laws against that? Are you really that naive? Do you not read the news? Every prison across the country gets sued multiple times every year for guards beating prisoners, prisoners dying while in custody, and not having access to medical personnel or services. It happened over 150 times last year alone, hell it even happens in women’s prisons. There was a story a few months ago about a pregnant prisoner going into labor while one the “hole” and no one checked on her for 24 hours, when they did, both she and the baby were dead.
"Ive never met anyone whos been to prison" was the most canadian thing you guys have ever said. what's next? "Ive never met anyone who died homeless because they couldn't pay their hospital bills?"
I just watched this movie for the first time this year. I've watched half of it, actually. I love it. This abusive guard still manages to be much better than Percy in some ways.
the thing about andy is not only is he very intelligent but he has a very likable demeanor. There isn't really anything you can't like about his character.
Yes, people do get chained together in transport. The difference is, nowadays, you're usually in local or a county jail awaiting trial, if not on bail, so you will be wearing the local jail garb during transit.
A lot of people do not realise that this was based on a short story written by Steven King. It is also the #1 rated movie on IMDB. Just above The Godfather.
Warden Norton's saying, "put your trust in the lord, your ass belongs to me." reminds me of Gny. Sgt. Hartman saying, "so you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps!" in Full Metal Jacket.
Oh, you sweet summer children. If I hadn't already known these two weren't from the U.S., the claim not to know one single person whose been in prison is a big tip-off. Their incredulity at screws not being held accountable for the same behavior they condemn would've sealed it.
Lol she is so full of it 😂😂😂 when watching Jurassic park she was almost jumping with joy when poachers got ate but now she doesn’t like to see ppl get hurt 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for reacting to this movie, always wanted to see you two reactions to it. Some great directors that have amazing movies are Robert Zemeckis, Wes Anderson, Gareth Evans, Edgar Wright, Stephen Chow, Francis Ford Coppola and many more. I hope that I can watch u twos reactions to them.
Other worthwhile choices-- Alfred Hitchcock Mel Brooks Milos Forman Michael Apted John Carpenter Brian DePalma Robert Altman Wes Craven Elia Kazan Ken Russell Amy Heckerling Jim Jarmusch Todd Solondz George Romero
"I've never known anyone who went to prison" Hi, i'm Juho from Finland. I did six months for conscientious objection (fancy talk for "refusing to serve in the military")
Maybe I watch too much prison-youtubers, but I am always surprised when people are shocked seeing violence in American prisons in movies. Like, this is how it is in there. Great reaction as always.
Right? Then they both said they didn't know one single person whose been inside, and part of me went, "But you don't seem like clinical agoraphobes." Then I remembered they're not from here, and that most countries don't incarcerate, at any given time, portions of their population that can be described in whole number percentages. This is a remembrance, so take it anecdotally. But, pretty sure the numbers for U.S. citizens go something like, "If there were 30 kids in your first grade home room, about 8 of them will do hard time, and approximately 2 are in right now, as we speak.
I was always confused about the fuss around 35k inheritence. I had to google it, and since at that point we are in 51' I think (since Andy came in in 49' + 2 years Morgan Freeman mentions), that 35k then is equivalent to around 370k today.
This movie was filmed at the Mansfield Penitentiary, in Ohio. My dad was imprisoned there until it closed. This move was made at the prison shortly after it closed.
Another noteworthy credit to Frank Darabont that isn't usually mentioned is the first (and by far best) season of Walking Dead as creator/showrunner/producer/director.
Yall I've heard stories you wouldn't believe from guards and ex guards. And they say it with a smile like they aren't being shitty to humans. Like when the "camera dies during transport" of a prisoner that had been giving them lip. Or sleep deprivation for a cell block because one person was acting up. And defend themselves by saying "well they did such and such crime".
Some people are just truly dangerous, but not as many as we're led to believe. Most everyone inside is a victim of either circumstance or a bad decision they've already learned better than 60 times over and more becomes not only excessive, but truly counterproductive. It all depends on level, of course, but in my experience the most blatantly evil, malicious, and predatory guy in a prison will be that monster you're warned about... but the next nine won't be inmates, they'll be screws. I would not elect to be in that environment for money, even with a greater level of control. Gunpoint's your leverage with me. Screws? They voluntarily enter on a daily basis. That should give you some indicator of the sort of people they tend to be, and the kind of environment they tend to thrive in.
07:30 Back in that time frame the guards could literally get away with murder and nobody would question what happened... "He was a criminal and deserved what he got" was the attitude of most civilians
1:41 That's Jeffrey DeMunn, he's a friend of Frank Darabont and has been in a lot of his projects. He was also in The Walking Dead (Darabont directed the first season).
There's definitely bad correctional officers out there still... I was in the county jail for 30 days and the c.o.'s got mad at one of the 70 of us, and they didn't give us toilet paper for 3 days... it started a riot !
I am a prison guard even though we are now called correctional officers but back in that time they were allowed to beat inmates the rules were different than they are nowadays. They didn’t even need a reason to beat an inmate there were times when an inmate would be killed by accident or even murdered. I knew an inmate who had been in prison for most of his life he was 98 years old when he finally got out he said he would be back because the prison was his home. A few months later he was back he died shortly after he got back. Another great movie for you to watch is only the brave.
I worked in a prison for 25 years. Yes, sometimes they do bring in a whole busload of new guys and yes, sometimes they are all attached to one long chain together on the bus.
It's funny because as Americans we all don't even think twice or have to suspend disbelief when it comes to things like "How are they getting things from the outside" or "How can a guard just get away with that" lol
Good react. You guys should watch *I, Robot from 2004* , is an movie starring Will Smith in the future, where robots do everything, I won't say more not to spoil you, is a great movie, with lots of humor and an underlying tone of suspense.
Wasn't there a Family Guy joke like that? Morgan Freeman reading the phone book or something like that? And yes, you're right. Ever see March of the Penguins?
The black gentleman that explained about the horse dying: was one of the nurses in "Green Mile" in Paul's nursing home. The one that asked Paul what he was doing up in those hills.
Glad you both understand the meaning of this film. Redemtion, Love, Friendship, HOPE. P.S. This film is rated as a Masterpiece and is the best film ever made. So when both feel down watch this film again. I am a 71 old pensioner. 2024 and still watch this. Dave in Guernsey, Channel Islands.
I liked a lot this movie. ( I read the novel before , so I knew the issue ) Your reaction was very nice. I will recommend you to see the movie : meet Joe black , with Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt. The movie is from the end on the nineties.. With such actors the movie cannot be bad, don't you think?
6:42 Shawshank is my all-time favorite film, and I’ve seen it so many times I can’t really remember my first reaction to it - except for when Brooks asks “are you gonna eat that?” and then grins “nice and ripe”.
Bet you'll have a weird laugh hearing this... but, the asshole guard is Clancy Brown. Yes. The same Clancy Brown who's the voice of Mr. Crabs on "SpongeBob Squarepants"
Right? It's not a heroic moment. It's one gangster eliminating another to end a property dispute about the exploitation of a life. He didn't do that to "protect Andy." He did it to "safeguard an asset." The "How dare you, I'll step in." part is all, "How dare you put at me at risk of going to H and R Block like some kind of plebian. That's disrespectful. And disrespect I can't abide."
@@bikecaptain8015 Have you ever seen Lonsome Dove? There is a great scene where this guy beats another guy nearly to death because he was hipping the man's son. After the fight he turns to the crowd who saw the attack and says, "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q5vskCOPEeg.html
@@erictaylor5462 Great stuff. I read it first. Then, because the series was so great and such a ridiculously faithful adaptation, it nearly felt like a waste of time. "Wait, I've seen this movie. It's right over there on the bookshelf." If you haven't read it? Don't bother... you have too. The novel and the series are that note-for-note. I don't know another vehicle I would say that about. Book or movie? Doesn't matter. In both cases it's the same story, at the same length, with the same presentation.
I worked in prisons for ten years, including working in the transportation unit. In Texas, at least, inmates travel in handcuffs, and leg irons connected to a belly chain.
Lmao y’all really don’t know how dirty the justices system is, watch How They See Us, it will rec you. This is the Disney fairytale version. But a awesome movie and boom nonetheless
If y’all were American you would definitely know someone who went to prison. And that’s not even a joke lol, that’s the sad reality of being an American
7:15 He can get away with it very easily all he has to say is he fell remember the only whitnesses are other guards that are just as guilty and prisoners who have plenty of Motive to blame the guards for anything which is why no one believes them. Also remember once the guards say he fell that’s the official cause of death and no criminal charges come
I would really like to see George and yourself choose a romantic comedy. If George says “This is another macho movie”. And it’s clear that he chose it then I lose interesr
just noticed this im a sub so i decided to catch up on old episodes i never noticed how great Simones hair looks here i mean shes always been cut but dam she look good in this video😍
