Reenactment #20: The Shawshank Redemption

[ilovebobgunton]

I love Bob Gunton. He's my main squeeze.

[1001MovieChallenge]

Impressive man, very good.

[Bregond90]

very good.... ONE mistake. Its "fussy" britches, not fuzzy. ;-)

[GROTFO]

100% other then missing a few sounds as the rock hits the pipes. good job man!

[THURO4EVER]

Niiiiiiiiiice!!! lmao! that was really good!

[tryfe10]

He looks like the new Jonah Hill.. The Jonah Hill that lost some weight lol

[lmcrawf]

Well done!

[theflavvv]

He's in American Pie: The book of love!!

[themightycelestial]

He escaped out of the cat door!

[Fingolfin3423]

This is so damn good. Just so damn good.

[lagiacrus2012]

1:29 HIYAA!!!

[Operation1Ivy]

great 

[spdfrk1087]

I didn't think I would like this...but I did! Good job!!

[bweazel]

LOL! Well done, bro!

[inverhillsphilo]

dude, at the end if you would have had the music that plays at that moment in the movie, one of the best scores ever IMO, i was ready to laugh and applaud at the end, but without the music, not so much. lol, still better than i could do. rock on.

[csrzegocki]

Man, you are awesome. Keep it up.

[ace666999]

LOLLLLLL @ the poster !!! 

[colbs237]

I love that you used the cat door :)

[turockandar]

Great!!! and to those disrespectful people who comment on your weight that has nothing to do with good acting. In Europe most great actors have ordinary physiques and are not expected to look like male models unlike in the US. M Serrault, J Hurt, Sir John Gilgud, E. Thomson, H Mirren,G Depardieu, J Dench, A Hopkins etc...It is important not to confuse great actors and movie stars who bring glamour to certain roles. Type casting has its place but should not take precedence over real talent!

[masparasol]

Nice.

[bedussy7]

that was good fat ass

[freedomland11]

since Morgan Freeman wasn't black....i would have to give this a 4/5 stars

[thomasjbolt]

Honestly... tell us all why you're doing this to yourself.

[Mansurus]

Sorry, since the hole did not go through her vagina and you did not finger the hole, i cannot approve of this video.

[PlayTimePro]

Just saw this movie a couple nights ago and I can see why people love Morgan Freeman so much now. Not that I didn't love him myself.

[pruane1forever]

your awsome Artie!

[dlrichmond80]

Raquel Welch dudes. That was the poster.  Spot on drawing too.

[cdoftx]

[cdoftx]

[wowbagger2004]

Rita Hayworth looks like she had implants.

[kah1e1]

[volk22221]

#OMG fіlm super watch onlіne or clownloacl роор.su

[MrMickeyZ]

[ksb0408]

[jackstein104]

[xaxie1]

[VictorPrimoJr]

YOUR MOUTH AND FAT CHEEKS MAKE ME PUKE YOUR ACTIN IN CHEESY

[bweazel]

[arianaalioth]

[1skunkus]

[o0Alanna0o]

I loved that, really great!!!

[healingofnation]

I knew this guy was going somewhere! congrats on the american pie movie man

[jorant]

You are a really really REALLY awesome actor. I love all your stuff, and even subscribe to it. Awesome. However, this is your weakest one, I feel. It's still good, but it just seems sort of off. Which is odd, as your other stuff is incredible!

[joenathanable]

awesome acting but the poster could have been done better.

[CortezInc55]

Dude, YOU ARE DA MAN!

[digy1st]

lol at the drawing of the woman.

[arianaalioth]

[arianaalioth]

I laughed my ass off. Especially at Raquel's picture. lmao

[freedomland11]

Artie..u shouldnt be in a American Pie movie..U should be in a 5star movie..But u did do a gr8t job in that american pie movie!! WAY2GO

[drsimi776]

I loved that Racquel image, it was better than the original.

[stankupdaplace]

A good warden and you kind of looked like morgan freeman man a spitting image of the man I say I say..

[KINGD1991]

your'e good!

[1dgg9h4dr6ppp8]

That would be hella tight if this dude put in the real background music from each movie!

[soulle]

that poster was priceless!!

[mrfreeman1995]

Please do the Blatch scene where he's telling Tommy how he killed the Golf Pro :D

[Moc870]

@mrfreeman1995 i love that scene and that laugh man haha

[roadhockey]

I love that: "fuzzy britches"

[cashmoney2275]

haha dude ur the man

[SevenOhSevenHB]

Simply stunning Sir. Loved every second, you have it down to the T -- Great job.

[pac401]

Love the poster, Brandon. Nice joba as always.

[4real345]

yeah are like home alone all of the time. do you have a job?

dude go out side.

[sokaykid]

hahahahah  perfect. I know every word of that movie and that was better than I could ever do.

[creeball]

his warden CRACKS ME UP!!!

[calikitty123]

BRAVO!!

[OCGirl521]

Well done Brandon! I love this movie, spot on! :D

[EuroLivi]

OMG! I just stumbled on your videos and I am laughing like I havent laughed in YEARS!! DUDE You are HILARIOUS!!! 5 stars!!!!

Your home props are freakin classic!!!!

[blehblah22]

oh man your home made props are f**king hilarious

[Gooodwitch]

good acting you sounded just like the warden

[grandmasterschmidt]

very good

[samamore1966]

right on the money

[Sla2k8]

not everyone gets what they want no use gettin pissed

[PlanTonto]

Pretty good warden, Morgan Freeman is another of those like John Candy hard to copy. Especially Morgan's facial expressions that speaks volumes woithout words, very hard to imitate. I do liek the warden and the southern accent is pretty good. I also liked th scene where he locks himself in to broadcast the opera music.

[jckostelnick]

Nice.

[SavingPrivateBob]

that was great!

[JETZcorp]

Finally! I remember seeing your Jurassic Park impression way, WAY back before I had a YT account. I remembered it one day and wanted to subscribe or something but couldn't remember the name. Now, tonight I come to YT for no reason just before bed, and there it is in the "recommended for you" list. 'Bout time.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

your morgan freeman impression kind of sucked,,,

[BeanTownKid97]

lol nice job

[ltjvideos08]

hahahahhaahhahahahahhahahahahh­a

[LMBltd]

Awesome job!!!

[Chaos913]

Nice, but it would be nicer if you would have done another scene, but there really weren't that many choices of a good, intense scene in this movie, even though it is (in my opinion) one of the greatest movies ever made.

[Neilsaccount55555]

great job, nice poster by the way lol

[Helicon2112]

I think some people criticize because you're on youtube and they automatically assume that your an amatuer, but what they don't know is that you've been in movies and on Jimmy Kimmel, and that's no easy task. Producers don't just call anybody to appear in movies and on a national television show. You have to have the talent to get noticed, and that's only a dream for thousands of amatuer actors trying to make it. You have the talent to be doing parodies on SNL.

Keep going. Good luck.

[navanubis]

u did the ducking of chess pieces oby red perfectly lol

[Orchamp]

nice one!!!!

[Archiefkast]

This is so lame man wtf.

[longlostlotrelf]

>_>

[karmacoma8383]

this dude is fucking amazing:))) fantastic job! 5* video!

[MrJayson1464]

ha ha love the poster

[1978MJK]

on youtube.......I'm still new at this, an account user. How do you get thousands of viewers to view your video? for example brandon hardesty's video here of the shawshank redemption has over 100,000 views how does it accumulate that high? Do you have to promote your video to have it noticed or featured? I'd like to have my video get lots of views, in order to do that I have to give people the info how to look it up it doesn't randomly show up like everyone else's can someone please help.

[Buffalowdown]

@1978MJK,

To answer your question:

1. Make a video that kicks fucking ass. Lots of people view it because it kicks fucking ass, and then lots of people send it to other people, because it kicks fucking ass.

2. Make a video that sucks fucking ass. Lots of people view it because it sucks so much fucking ass, and then lots of people send it to other people, because it sucks so much fucking ass.

3. Give a mediocre video a great title and hope people click on it.

4. Get lucky

[achtung26]

acting does not = mimicking.

[Buffalowdown]

Uh, don't call me sweetie, you dumb whore. I dont know what acting is? Acting is ACTING like something. So you think somebody can act like somebody else, and that's acting. But if somebody acts like somebody else acting like somebody else, that's not ACTING??? You make me laugh.

And another thing, because this is home made at "mom's house" that means it doesn't have value? This dude has talent, and more than you.

You appear to be "mimicing" a dumbass.

[achtung26]

So much anger. Im guessing your about 17? Pissed at the world? trying to find your place? That's ok it'll come to you. And yes as a tutor of acting I DO know what im talking about.

[Buffalowdown]

Not anger. Disappointment in you.

Only a dumb ass would guess my age instead of simply reading the age on my profile. I won't even speak to the fact that you abandoned the contents of our actual argument. Nothing to address on my retort?  All you have to say is that you are a "tutor of acting".

To discredit the talented gentleman in this video tells your whole story. Whomever it was that "tutored" you on acting, or even on life, I would ask for a refund.

[achtung26]

The guess at your age was a nod to your maturity. Retort? Alas I dont have time but to make you feel special I will purchase a small tree today and place it next to my computer and argue with it in place of you. The sense of logic from it will be the same as from you so you can feel confident in a fair representation of your argument. Sukre de Katzso.

[Buffalowdown]

Nothing from you, as I expected. You know my logic is there, that's why you can't argue with it. You just make obscure statements to avoid a fight that you will lose.

You tried to make fun of somebody on youtube that is clearly talented, and you failed. I'll go back to my original comment: You're jealous. Because you take acting classes on Thursday nights doesn't make you special.

[ArtisianRadio]

nice work, haha, my name is artie too :D

[ugotmiked]

One of my favorite movies! You did a great job man, i loved it! =D =D =D

[lxNeilxl]

i like the picture that u drew, much sexier than the one in the film. naaaaaat!

[flashgunfilms]

That's brilliant! We're even treated to props on this one! I was laughing my ass off. Bravo! Fly to england I'll give you a job.

[Sunno94]

im surprised he didnt do a bit of tim robbins!

[veflexra]

On WoW you get an achievement for completing 63 and 68 quests in terokkar forest. Here's to seemingly random number celebrations!

[Aztech22]

Don't hate. These are pretty dang good for a one man show.

[Bigpapa5150]

I agree, you should've done the "or am I being obtuse" scene...impressive!

[giggidygoo17]

have you thought about doing monologues?

[giggidygoo17]

u shud of used music from the film maybe make it a lil better?

[082076]

again, Brandon is good actor. Once he gets a few movies he can create a classic scene that is his own performance.

[achtung26]

I wouldn't consider this acting. It's more mimicking. If you gave this guy a bland script and said create a performance, I seriously doubt he could conjure up anything original. At best it would be a mash up of other performances. Nice to watch, but not acting.

[Buffalowdown]

@achtung26,

How is this not acting? I think you're jealous.

[achtung26]

@ Buffalowtown

...Im not sure you know what acting is sweetie.

As for jealous? of what? a home made video made at my mom's house?

Idiot!

[Ghostontherun]

i do agree what your saying. i give you a thumbs up

[jmh90]

You should have done the "Obtuse" scene

[SuperChuck3]

Wow, ur an asshole...

[jmh90]

go fuck yourself

[fabioproductions]

he is an actor, he was in a movie called bart got a room, he got a little part but an actor is an actor

[ChiBlackhawks24]

That's really good dude! You got their mannerisms down almost perfectly

[Boorger]

lol that was great, thanks mate.

[AmericanPride8]

what makes this really good is that Brandon actually looks a little bit like the warden in the movie

[degree7]

Brandon also looks a bit like Morgan Freeman, wouldn't you say?

[starofderyk]

i luv this guy....xcellent

[Terminator860]

haha that was funny. your mate didn't get his lines right though he was useless. He forgot to say "why would he?".

[stratman123]

A scene from Kalifornia with Pitt and Duchovny would be nice.

[silenthillvictim]

that's awesome dude!!!! Shawshank is one of my favorite films. great job.

[Zazzauser]

You look like Bob Gunton, yeah XD

However you are very great

[klixxz]

You're my new favourite thing.

[bigd270]

you should do the scene where brooks writes "brooks was here" that would be awesome

[PuppyPetite]

can I request a scene from blood diamond , that rodshian accent is cool I would love to see you do the end scene when he is up on the mountain talking with jennifer connelly on his cell phone after he was shot by local thugs. or any scene from  the movie would be cool, thanx

[smokeylee1986]

Absolutely brillient, a great and funny reinactment from my favourite movie off all time, nice one

[merrymont716]

May I request something from A Wonderful Life?

[merrymont716]

Excellent! You need to be in movies...

[arsonin]

[AmandaLE5]

[lovemusicsomuch]

dude, I don't know what to compliment on cuz I've seen several of your reenactments and love them all :D :D ArtieTSMITW, this is damn awesome. the poster's great, lol. you obviously observe the details of the performances and scenes well and then deliver to the fullest :D I wish I could hug you, you're so talented, lol :D
