Tim Robbins remembers the legacy of ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ 

total remote dropper

Yes! Every time

It's True Indeed. I Just cannot Ignore That Movie When It's On Air Regardless How Busy I am

No doubt. Absolutely true.

Yes!!! As soon as I hear Morgan Freeman's voice I'm sitting down to watch it.

😂😂😂 Epic 🎬

Hahaha

@Randy White same what about titanic, forrest gump and pulp fiction ?

@Randy White you havent seen titanic ? and you have it on blu ray ? it looks amazing on blu ray watch it

Along with "one flew over the cuckoo's nest" The movies doesn't get out of your head!

like you and literally the world!

Howard the Duck is my favorite movie ever

It is amazing one of my favorite of all times.

Watch the Green Mile again

Well he is an escaped convict so of course he will keep quite a low profile.

@@rainierogarcia8564 underrated comment hahaha, golden

Yeah he's too special for everyone to have a piece

We Celebrate the Vision of Frank Darabont 🎇✊👏👏👏

I actually think he's a better actor than most people give him credit for. Not saying he's up there with Bogart, Fonda, Nicholson, Pacino, Hackman, etc, but he can hold his own when he has to and he just has a warm, boyish quality to him, even when he's playing not-so-good guys (such as in Arlington Road and Catch a Fire).

Yes, it was jarring to see Tim play a really bad guy after his sympathetic turn as Andy in Shawshank, but he makes a very good and chilling villain.

Joan Cusack was evil too! ​@@BethHarmon-yh8ms

100%

those are mine too.Great taste man

Don't forget Mystic River

Pure evil in that one.

@@fishgutz4272 He sure was! He completely made you forget he was the same man who played the long-suffering, but dignified Andy Dufresne in Shawshank.

Yes, I love Jacob's Ladder as well. The Hudsucker Proxy and Arlington Road are really great films as well. Code 46 is a little-known gem, but it's definitely worth watching.

@@BethHarmon-yh8ms I'll have to check that out, I hadn't heard of it until now.

same what about titanic, forrest gump and pulp fiction ?

Do well friend 🙏

@@MrNaor82 thank you, means a lot. Met Jesus, turned my life to good.

What were the charges?, just curious to know if you don’t mind.

@@aaronrodgers5852 Lawyer fucked him.

Lol...fantastic😆

Oh yeah, I loved Tapeheads. He and John Cusack were funny in that one.

I didnt ignore The Shawshank Redemption i went and watched it 5 times in the theater in New Zealand when it came out and every time i feel depressed in life i watch it and i feel better

its a triumph of the human spirit

They're both great movies.

It was pretty much only a five minute part in Top Gun, but he made the most of it.

While it's true there is more backstory, I think the film improved on several aspects of the story. In the short story, the warden has Tommy transferred to a minimum security prison with better privileges to bribe him to keep his mouth shut about Blatch, the real killer of Andy's wife and her lover. I feel it was much more realistic and practical in the movie for the warden to have Tommy killed.....dead men tell no tales. The warden did not want to lose his golden goose (Andy). Keeping Tommy alive with a stint at a better prison when there was always the chance he could talk when he got out would have been too risky. In the short story, Andy got his secret identity from one friend who set up the whole thing for him. The film has Andy setting up the fake ID and secret accounts all on his own. At the time he did it mostly for the warden, but once he realized the warden was never going to let him walk out of Shawshank, he got the ball rolling for his escape and laying claim on the secret alias and the accounts. I kind of like that Andy in the movie really had no one but himself to rely on to get him out of the 2 decades injustice he has had to endure. In the short story Andy is sent to Shawshank in 1948 and escapes in 1975. In the film, Andy comes to Shawshank in 1947 and escapes in 1966. Andy finds out about Blatch in 1963 and gets tossed in the hole (as in the film) when he goes to the warden about it. Norton threatens him just as he does in the movie (though his motivations in the story are a bit different, he wants to keep Andy not merely to hang onto his financial pet, but also because he sees Andy as a snob and wants to keep him under his thumb to give him 'a lesson in humility). However, Andy goes on being the warden's slave for a good 12 years before finally escaping in King's story. Andy pretty much escapes soon after being released from the hole in the movie, which I like so much better. Andy had already suffered enough by this point and it would have been too much to have seen him go on being bullied and threatened, forced to keep on slaving for the warden without anything to show for it for years to come. I also prefer the film's ending. At the end of King's tale, Red sets off to find Andy in Mexico, we never actually find out if he succeeds. At the climax of the movie we see a grinning Red greeting Andy on the beach. The movie ends from afar with them embracing. Don't get me wrong, I do so enjoy King's story, but Darabont made a lot of improvements on some elements that had me saying "Huh?" on occasion.

And it’s so un-Stephen King-like. Makes it even more impressive.

And Arlington Road! Luv Its un-Hollywood type ending. You’re right that Mystic River was amazing.

Mystic River

Yes! He has the most understated action scene where he chopped off Luke Wilson's arm and then continued casually to smoke his pipe.

Lost to Forrest Gump. A travesty, I tell you.

Shawshank redemption never leaves your mind. Hope is a good thing. An amazing movie up there with the best. It touches your heart.🇬🇧

I saw that recently, and it was pretty funny.

Whoa whoa whoa..let's not talk crazy here

@@seanmmoore1 There's a reason I wrote IMO..

@@lotusmanb3832 hahaha it's not far off. I love both movies. But It's a wonderful Life is a personal favourite

I think the Arlington Road ending is just as great or even better… just because it is so surprising, yet very realistic.

I need to see that one of these days. Ironic that his co-star, Martin Lawrence, went on to star in another prison film about innocent men being convicted and imprisoned, Life, which also starred Eddie Murphy, two years later.

He only had, what, 5 minutes of screen time in that one. Although his "You're going to WHAT?!!!" in the jet cockpit as Maverick was leaning on getting closer to the enemy jet kills me everytime.

Better than Shawshank? Not in my book.

Well, it's a good thing his character was innocent.

Why insult the man? He looks his age. The movie is set too long ago to be meant primarily as a commentary on modern prison systems. I think he just meant that he hoped people would think about how prisoners ought to be treated. There's no need to make broad assumptions about what Robbins is really advocating for. Not many people want killers to be let loose, but if we do have a parole system, prisoners sure ought to be treated better than what we see in the movie.
