I think the people who decides who gets the Oscars should be ashamed that they did not pick Shawshank as the best picture, best musical score, and best actor Morgan Freeman.
I'm guessing there are very few people who did not find this movie incredibly powerful! It's probably the best film I've seen at capturing the triumph of the human spirit.
Hearing this song i felt like never before in these "poor" 14 years that i have lived. This song gives you hope and strength for a bleak future. I hope this year is better. With love from Greece.
@marios19257 It's been bad before; it will get better again. Don't let things get you down. "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things; and no good thing ever dies."
Just watched this film for the 3rd time and realised that i love it ALOT MORE than i actually did da 2nd time. 1st time ill be honest i didn't get it. i was 19. hadn't seen many films. films lie this one. u hv 2 watch em at least 4-5 time just to understand em. to appreciate how good they are, well i guess once evry 6 months at least.
What a beautiful film score, i can't really come up with any other words to say about it really that won't have already been said about it. It certainly eases the mind though
"Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing". This movie was more than just a movie, it had life lessons for young and old. A movie with deeper meaning.
It's As If This Beautiful Soundtrack Played Into Our Drab Little Lives And Made Those Troll Dissolve Away. And For The Briefest Of Moments, Everyone On YouTube Felt Free.
I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still to hold a thought in my head. I think it's the sort of excitement a free man (Freeman) feels on the start of a long journey, whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope to make it across the border safely. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
Every time i feel down, sad or depressed, I listen to this song, and every time I do, it reminds me that there is more in the world than just misery. This song gives me true hope!
@Phase171 I feel it too...it's so serene. Makes me want to be at the beach, hear the waves, feel the sand between my toes, and be with the ones I love..
Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side. headed for the Pacific. Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend. (I miss mine too)
I have that exact image of Andy standing triumphant above my bed, a big poster. Whenever I feel lost or disheartened, I stare up and read the immortal words: 'Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free'.
My all-time favorite movie. Words's cannot comprehend the respect I have for this classic piece of cinema and Newman for his iconic music. This film can really change your perspective on life. It did for me, and it can for others too. Get busy living or get busy dying...
12 dislikes? how can that be? this piece of music could bring world peace its that strong. Music like this is something you cant tell. They are feeling that cant be told But yet sitting here typing this message with tears in my eyes from listening to this while writing makes me wonder what my future lies ahead of me. Shall i have kids,will i get married,will i sing and dance,God makes everything for a purpose. May our journeys in life be unforgettable.
GODAMN IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR YEARS ! IT TOOK TO ME LOOK AT THE BAG SCENE FROM AMERICAN BEAUTY TO FIND OUT THAT THAT WAS THOMAS NEWMANS SONG , AND THEN TO SUGGESTIONS WHICH HAD THIS SONG IN IT ! THANKS FATE !
SK's work doesn't always transfer to the screen very well, especially his horror stories and novels. The only two that stand out are "Delores Claiborne" and "The Shawshank Redemption". And this one is far and away the best. How the Academy didn't give this the Best Picture award (and other Bests) is beyond my comprehension.
@WezzyStef907 . its probably just a nazi punk somewhere in a ol whoresone somewhere in a big dirty city. ;) we should feel sorry for him/ them. and be happy that we are who we are.. not that nazi punk. but ourselfes. thats important ,to be yourself. you surely want to be remembered as that guy who was himself 100% on your limited time on earth . at least i do..
I don't know what this piece is about. And frankly I don't want to know. Some things are best left un-said. I'd like to think that Thomas Newman was playing about something so beautiful that it can't be described in words. And it makes your heart ache because of it...
@ultamatefrogmaster lol i don't know what happened to my comment i tried to find it but for some reason it's not appearing on this entire comments section of the video I ctrl F and couldn't find it. Can you tell me what it was? Now i'm dying of curiosity and "think" i may have an idea of what it was related to --> family guy but i do not know what i said specifically.
@ultamatefrogmaster ya at the end Andy DuFrain starts up his own buisness in Cuba or soemthing and theres a lot of other beauty in this movie that is expressed in the end titles music.
I always used to say Pulp Fiction was the better film of 1994. But I just bought this on blu ray and rewatching it; I would say it's the best movie sonce the 70's ended,
Does anyone know the name of the music that plays as Red is finding the tree near the end of the film, and walking along the stone wall? please reply thanks :D
The music in Shawshank Redemption is staggering. You can feel the power and emotion in the music, which fits well with the plot of the story. I love the movie and the music, and I would have to say it is one of my favourite movies of all time.
an Incredible sound that makes your heart dance and tears form in your eyes and break onto your cheek. And yet, it doesn't make you sad, but fills you with an overwhelming sense of happiness :D
this movie took away so much of my saddness, without this movie i would still be in the darkness...
all i want to do now is stand on a hill that overlooks everything and close my eyes, and smile in the rain. if i could do that then id be forever happy
a beautifull film to watch when your feeling down,it just lifts you back up and makes you realise that no matter what happening in your life ,just keep going and you,ll make it thru,
I saw Avatar. I thought it was good. Then I watched this movie. This is the best movie that I have ever seen. It beats Avatar by a long shot. This is the only movie that made me cry at the end.
Beautiful and haunting theme. Captures the thread of good that comes from all the horror and filth of Shawshank, where friendship and devotion to justice and right finally overcome corruption and evil.
this has to be the most honest humane and sincere film ever made, the whole package from directing, acting to sound track. makes me glad to be free and alive
This is so beautiful .. This movie is one of the most beautiful movie ever made . After it, you have this strange feeling telling you just spend one of the two epics hours of your life watching this masterpiece ...
@hassannn75 much like bladerunner, it wasn't fully appreciated upon initial release, I think it was overshadowed by Forest Gump released the same year. However, in the list of top 100 films recently, it did score higher than Forest Gump. I guess this film is a bit like wine, it's regarded better with age.
@jenguind Damn right mate, most of Ridley Scott movies are under-appreciated, I love Scott, one of my favourite directors, Forest Gump is a good movie, but highly overrated, BTW check IMDB's all-time top 250 films, on imdb.com & you'll see the ranking of Shawshank Redeption there & I'm pretty sure that most of good movies are appreciated on that site :)

Beautiful and haunting theme. Captures the thread of good that comes from all the horror and filth of Shawshank, where friendship and devotion to justice and right finally overcome corruption and evil.

11 people disliked the song because they didn't like it and have different taste in music and it's not our place to say any different.

I'll never understand why this movie didn't win at least 10 oscars, That's not fair :(

@hassannn75 much like bladerunner, it wasn't fully appreciated upon initial release, I think it was overshadowed by Forest Gump released the same year. However, in the list of top 100 films recently, it did score higher than Forest Gump. I guess this film is a bit like wine, it's regarded better with age.

@jenguind Damn right mate, most of Ridley Scott movies are under-appreciated, I love Scott, one of my favourite directors, Forest Gump is a good movie, but highly overrated, BTW check IMDB's all-time top 250 films, on imdb.com & you'll see the ranking of Shawshank Redeption there & I'm pretty sure that most of good movies are appreciated on that site :)
