My favorite movie. I like this ending.. even if it's perhaps considered pretty cheesy by some.. It's truely inspirational because maybe, just maybe things will be alright... in the end..
When i was 19 yrs old yrs ago. I spent a night i a cell for a minor offence. Even though though it was one night at that young age, i still felt a sense a freedom in the morning...
@Gigglez765 I did the same thing when I first saw the Black Stallion in photo class in 1981. The whole class was just stunned and in tears. We all clapped afterwards. It had sort of the same meaning as this movie does. Triumph in the face of adversity with your friend at your side. In the Black Stallion, the horse was the kid's best friend.
This movie is one of very few that has affected me and how I view life. I mean if a movie can do that then you're onto a winner I think. The moment Red and Andy reunite is beautiful. How can anyone not get emotional at it?
@Matthew2400 If you don't appreciate or understand the sarcastic rating of 100/10 for this movie then you take things way to seriously in life.Relax a little,go have a beer,maybe see a shrink or something.I'll ignore the retard comment....maybe watch this movie again and learn the meaning of how to treat and talk to people.....be careful you might end up like Bogs.... I hope you have a great new year!
it's the acting + the chemistry + the soundtrack. i read somewhere that this is the first scene they shot. u can clearly see the chemistry. i dunno whether freeman and robbins are friends in real life, but they should be.
@rfa2068 You sure? Personally I think what they showed was the perfect amount. It is actually the best ending to any film I've ever seen. The entire film builds so slowly that you don't realise it's utter greatness until the final act. It's majestically done.
@Eradicus Oh I totally agree with you. I say that because their friendship became so strong and special through the years at Shawshank that I wanted just a little more at the end. The ending is brilliant and maybe I'm just being selfish.
@rfa2068 Less is more. You extend the ending and then it opens up other context. The ending was absolutely perfect, or brilliant as you and many others have put it.
Love that ending. One of my favorites. All about friendship and loyalty and love. Never get tired watching it. Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life. True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
It should have been a dream of Tim Robbins and as he was getting on a boat, he comes back to the reality of him in the middle of a forced assfuck/blowjob by The Sisters. The whole thing was an escape in his mind to deal with looking forward to a couple of lifetimes worth of rape.
I love "Owl Creek", "Brazil" style dream twist endings.
I understand that nobody cares about this comment or any other comment whatsoever, but if any of the creators of this film would ever by accident read this one, they might be glad to read the following: "S R" has an impact on a human mind like no film out there. "S R" made me appreciate life as a free man, a man living beyond the building with bars, cells and guards. Thanks to the creators of this film for making at least one human life so much better. This film is heaven on earth for me.
@NoyabrNovember that has got to be the BEST statement i have EVER seen in my entire LIFE...i wish Hollywood could make movies like this one but it will probably never happen
I read the novella of this before I saw the film. And I can honestly say it's the only time I have watched a film that far eclipses the original story. An utterly wonderful film, brilliant cast, brilliant soundtraclk. Just outstanding.
I thought the movie should have ended 1 minute earlier, with the bus rolling into the distance. I think that final minute was added at the studio's insistence.
@lbg77 The story itself ends there with Red saying "I hope", but we never know if he ever met up with Andy. I like this version too as we know they reunited :D
@Nuchieboy20132 yeah man they almost have the same sort of ending Redd gets the letter from Andy and then they meet up on the beach and in The Town Claire gets the letter from Doug and well Claire doesnt meet Doug in the end but he does say "I know I'll see you again this side or the other"
Why can't Hollywood make movies like this one anymore...whoever doesn't think The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie ever well either they didn't watch it or they don't like movies...
@raisedonaradio i wanna like this one million times but i can only like it once and this movie is the BEST nothing will ever come close to it and that is a fact
The Shawshank tree just got split in half by a wicked storm today! Now, these peculiar fans that go looking for it will have to chase something else down from the film. Maybe they can go visit the actual place where "The Sisters" raped Tim Robbins? OOOohhh! Ahhhh!
@RebelGuy10100 Allen Greene was Frank Darabont's good friend. He died from AIDS complications shortly before the movie was released. This movie is unbelievably good
What's better? James Earl Jones' Darth Vader voice or Freemans narration of this film? And let's say, uh..... Just Empire Strikes Back. Vader had the best lines in the film. So that vs. Freeman in this movie. Bonus question: Who do you think has the bigger, you know, color purple, what you sing twinkle twinkle little star with, etc. You know what I'm talking about....
Hope What is hope a dream of a fool knows no better A thought which has manifested itself Maybe hope a successful person who never gave up Hope is inside all of us It is the reason we wake sleep laugh cry It is all our reasons for living and trying We cannot live life without this simple word Hope is the holy grail of humans we cannot touch Only feel like a vessel in our veins Never to be tamed or lead by reins Free spirits will always be I am today because I hope against hope
What a great lesson and movie im going to dislike it though, just to contradict all the people who have to rant on and on about the people who disliked this scene and how they have lost hope...just focus on the important life lesson this has to offer you and look past what everyone else thinks.
this movie made me of who i am today by saying that i am living the best life i can live whether it would be just accomplishing something really hard or help people live a better life... the two strong words HOPE AND FAITH... everyone always remember this people come before yourself...FACT
a Freeman at the start of a long journey, whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. 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.
Perfect ending, perfect cast, perfect movie. To think they originally wanted people like Tom Hanks, Charlie Sheen (shudder), Nicolas Cage (another shudder), Tom Cruise, or Kevin Costnir -who said no to the offer and later regretted it- as Andy. Harrison Ford, Paul Newman and Robert Redford, or Clint Eastwood (of course I prefer Morgan Freeman, but Eastwood I don't know, interesting) as Red. Tommy was going to be Brad Pitt, now tell me if that would ruin a movie!
When freeman says the final refrain "I hope" it puts a lump in my throat, especially when you remember what he told andy in jail, "hope can kill a man"
@RebelGuy10100 Allen Greene was Frank Darabont's agent and a close personal friend. He died just before the completion of Shawshank Redemption due to AIDS complications.
another thing i would like to say is it comes down to two things get busy living or get busy dying and finding HOPE to whatever lies ahead of your future...i love those 620 people and i hate those 13 people maybe someday those 13 people can learn to live and dream or maybe not oh well their loss...
Oh my god. Every time i see this movie, i always end up in tears. The friendship between Andy and Red really makes this phrase true,"Make new friends but keep the old, for one is silver and the other one is gold." This is my most favorite movie of all time. I always watch it whenever i feel depressed. It always gives me the pick-up i need to keep on living. Hope is a strong feeling and my only wish is that not only me but everyone to keep their hopes high and follow your dreams. :)
@RebelGuy10100 I know! They hardly make movies this good anymore, but I'm sure they will make a masterpiece soon and when they do, its going to blow our minds. Just gotta keep the faith and the patience. :)
as the whole film is about hope, and how it can set you free physically and metaphorically, this ending truly shows what hope can accomplish. i love the fact that it's just two friends rather than boy-girl, it shows how far friendship really goes. best ending ever? probably. best movie ever? probably. this defines what being human is about. perfect.
0:24 that man looks exactly like Morgan Freeman but it's not him. Anyone else confused about this? Hope someone can clear it up. One of my all time favourite films. Fantastic!
Best ending ever :')

The friendship between Andy and Red really makes this phrase true,"Make new friends but keep the old, for one is silver and the other one is gold." This is my most favorite movie of all time. I always watch it whenever i feel depressed. It always gives me the pick-up i need to keep on living. Hope is a strong feeling and my only wish is that not only me but everyone to keep their hopes high and follow your dreams. :)

@RebelGuy10100 I know! They hardly make movies this good anymore, but I'm sure they will make a masterpiece soon and when they do, its going to blow our minds. Just gotta keep the faith and the patience. :)

That moment when Red and Andy embrace and the music
kicks up is so incredibly powerful

Shawshank is without a doubt the greatest movie ever made.
For those that compare Titanic to it are missing the point.
Titanic was a real ship, true, with real people, BUT....Rose and Jack
are FICTIONAL....Cameron made them up along with the rest of the movie.
He is only guessing at what really went on at the time of the ships sinking.
Shawshank is fictional, true, but the events COULD have happened much easier than with Titanic. We can root much better with Andy and Red.

This ending gives me chills. It is just that good. The shawshank redemption is easily the best movie ever made.

as the whole film is about hope, and how it can set you free physically and metaphorically, this ending truly shows what hope can accomplish. i love the fact that it's just two friends rather than boy-girl, it shows how far friendship really goes. best ending ever? probably. best movie ever? probably. this defines what being human is about. perfect.

0:24 that man looks exactly like Morgan Freeman but it's not him. Anyone else confused about this? Hope someone can clear it up. One of my all time favourite films. Fantastic!
