i guess i just miss my friend

[teel6060]

I heard what he said and felt it in my heart.

[meatloaf4diner]

4 people don't have any friend and never had haha best movie ever

[1984MrDiesel]

I knew I wasn't the only person who liked that part of the movie lol!

[Electrode46]

Some birds aren't meant to be caged.

[Xgnartotheshiz]

Real friends are made in prison.

[Jmaz98]

Who crawled threw a river of shit and came out clean on the other side" .... great writing, great acting, great movie.

[Thaddeus61]

@JP5466

It was not long after Andy escaped that red got his freedom

[JP5466]

Anyone here know how many more years Red was in prison after Andy escaped?

[toebixo]

@JP5466 1 year

[SAOrules]

The scene where Andy is riding his car on that coastal road almost makes me cry.

[kwena7]

Morgan Freeman, as he reads that final line... it just touches the longing in all of us... this is the greatest film that did not win as Oscar. Funny thing is as Forrest Gump (the film that swept the Academy that year) seems to decline, Shawshank rises and rises....

[OffspringFTW65]

My friends are slowly fading away as I chase my dream, and I wanna keep em around but iv realised they are chasing their dreams too..And I guess theirs just include them 3 and not me, I feel like such a loner lately...but as the vid says, some birds aren't meant to be cages :'(

[RebelGuy10100]

do people realize how good of a film this is...when people ask their family, friends, girlfriends/boyfriends and neighbors what is their favorite movie is...their answer should be "The Shawshank Redemption" it makes me sad that some people dont think this is a great movie it just goes to show JEALOUSLY...

[Marosiska]

I love this scene..........

[SebbeGrishater]

The reason to why this is the best movie of all times is because it shows how you should never give up, chase your dream and overcome life's obstacles. Reach your fullest potential and cast your visions! This movie is magical indeed.

[GHAI007]

each and every scene of this movie is a memory

[SneekPeekTech]

A prime example of Stephen King's magic with words..

[MultiCalculus]

Its a great flim andy's an amazing man but heywood is my fav

[VFILM88]

I remember reading the screenplay at a local Starbucks and having to leave because I was crying HAHAHA

[73geneva]

This movie is just sublime. Everyone has at least something to take from it.

[caspersman59]

EXCELLENT MOVIE. Most touching prison cemetary scene in movie history

[caspersman59]

EXCELLENT MOVIE.

[zoby1996]

my favorite scene and the second saddest. 1st is when brooks commits suicide third is when red (morgan freeman) travels in his shoes.

[Yobachi2007]

Four pour miserable souls never had a friend.

[3d1gg4]

pure poetry

[WolFzFLM]

I lost a friend that I had sense the 6th grade. The only change it that he used to live with his mom. And I lived with my dad. Now I live with my mom and he lives with his dad. We used to live within walking distance and we would spend the night on school nights. Now we don't even talk to each other, and we didn't fight at all! The last time we hung out was Summer. I haven't changed and neither has he. Anyone know what the hell is up? Or anything I should do?

[irepeatyou]

i made a headstone for my dog and for the inscription i carved his name and the quote from red - 'i just miss my friend'

[spiridushadragalasha]

this is my favourite scene ever!!! i feel alot like that about a friend....and these words describe exactly whats in my heart and mind.

[head405068]

Yes I would love to know the name of this music!!!!!

[ripdoses]

name of the song Plz

[TheFilmend]

Does anyone know where one can find the song starting at 00:23? Thanks.

[mr554]

@TheFilmend You could probably buy a recording of the score to this film.

[Scaredmushrooms]

4 people didn't crawl through shit and came clean on the other side. 

[Taliaferro3939]

The Pacific Ocean. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific Ocean?- they say that it has no memory... and that's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place that has no memory.

[milkyze]

"Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright"

That quote has stayed with me longer than any other.

[corelegendin]

Inspirational. This movie is a masterpiece.

I wish they'd make films like this today.

[Bosniarulz]

this literally gives me chills. SUCH a good movie

[onebigkahuna69]

I think this is Morgan Freemans best work.

[urduwale]

I love that scene....wow

[aures111]

my friend is gone !! in real my best friend

[nibiru438]

Some birds arent meant to be caged......there feathers are just to bright!!!

[punkass916]

what happen to reds friends in the moive the other pepople

[foxysham]

It's called the Shawshank Redemption because Andy causes Red to refuse to commit suicide. If Andy wasn't committed then Red's fate would have been that fo Brooks. Anyone who doesn't love this movie is a snob.

[phlashblazer]

When they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.

[RobinApprentice]

this scene always reminds me of my friend who's going away to college. his feathers are just too bright. but still, the place i live in will be that much more drab and empty when he's gone...

[Valferedir]

Just wonderful. This movie is such a masterpiece. Gives me hope of doing something good out of my life.

[PursuitOfPeace]

Paardon my French lol...I always laugh whenever I hear Morgan Freeman ("Red") say: "Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and, came out clean on the other side"

[T800System]

"sometimes it makes me sad though... andy being gone.."

[samsamara4]

I wanna kiss Stephen King's hand for writing this story....how can he write such a story!! He has to be a God....it gives me shivers down my spine everytime I watch this movie........!!!

[moddeee]

Elmo blatch is did the movie

[BeyondLame]

i think the "I guess I just miss my friend" just underscores despite Red's philosophical manner and nature the simple truth that he accepts instead of finding a reason for his sadness

[derbigpr500]

This is movie is just perfect. Words cant describe how good and powerful it is, neither can videos like this. People who havent watched this movie really dont know what they are missing. Watching this movie is one of the things that has to be on every mans "to do before i die" list. There are great movies like Godfather, Matrix, Pulp Fiction etc. The Shawshank redemption is just on a whole other level. Please, watch it if you havent.

[DjTenn08]

A good friend of mine passed away last week. We dedicated a shirt to him and on the back of it was this quote. It was his favorite quote from one of his favorite movies. Its very powerful. This movie was so awsome.

[billydkidx]

Greatest quote, of the greatest movie.

[ummmwhat039]

*cry*

[nibiru438]

Some birds arent mean to be caged......there feathers are just to bright!

[KenDoeFresh]

This Film is Perfect.

Best Ever (IMO)

[wannagoback052]

She used to do pranks and they were hilarious. I believe she is in a better

place now.

[wannagoback052]

Reminds me of my close friend who was disabled and couldn't get out of the house.

I miss her everyday.

[effay83]

I guess I just miss my friend..

I wish my internal monologue would be the voice of Morgan Freeman

[dreams2action]

so beautifully written and narrated. I agree these are the best lines in the movie about friendship and seeing someone else you know and love shine.

[voidofambition]

I can watch this movie everyday. Probably...

[morrisoniice]

this and Brooks' suicide were a tearjerker. :C

[Nicksta101]

Beautiful piece of film-making and acting. 1:05 is an amazing quote

[HonorGuard117]

@Nicksta101 Yep, I love that quote. "I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged."

[severyn1982]

@rockinstuff why watch then

[dcvbhtrdf]

great film

[d2eux]

does anyone know what music is playing during the scene with andy driving?

[rockinstuff]

dry your eyes for fuck sake !!!

[mlynum]

This is probably the most touching scene of all time. I cry almost every time I see it.

[edgarallanpoet]

I cry like a schoolgirl every time I watch this scene.

[thurin68]

@edgarallanpoet I cry like a little bitch every time i see this..Film at its most wondrous..

[jaymzb1979]

@edgarallanpoet Me too, my friend, me too.

[BeyondHumanLimits]

@edgarallanpoet  DAMM !!! RIGHT !

[Jeffinator22]

Amazing scene

[CMONEY4REAL]

SIMMONS

[IMINTHEMOMENTRU]

great movie and im a big movie buff and when he says i guess i just miss my friend one of the only a few parts of any movie that will make me cry every time

[bail33]

simmons

[jahe2382]

Simmons...you old rascal, you!

[brianutsz]

Aaaaaadddddddddddddaaaaaaaammm­mmmmm

[Warwicksweater]

Bill Simmons crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side....that son of a bitch

[spamforbobby]

Those of us who knew Manny best, talk about him often. I swear, the stuff he pulled! Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Manny being gone.

...The place we live in is that much more drab and empty that Manny's gone.

[rockinstuff]

whos Manny ???

[geoffy122]

i guess my friend simmons just sent me here

[DeaconJF1ash]

SIMMONS

[guillotine007]

simmons

[FertileOctagenerian]

Rick Reilly!

[neuman7]

BILL SIMMONS SENT ME HERE

[jpauchin]

manny's feathers are too bright simmons

good call

[rothchild0007]

SIMMONS!!!!!!

[glidinclyde]

simmons!!!!!!!!!

[tatatatyler15]

SIMMONS!

[lazyweb]

Simmons! FTFW!

[22minutes9]

bill simmons is a stud

"I swear the stuff he pulled"

HAHAHA

[yankees005]

simmons

[theriotfish]

Simmons!

[comedygold310]

simmons. classic

[qqwwerttyy]

whats that beautiful back group piano music called? anyone knows?

[steelbreeze55]

That piano music is from the score to the film, composed and preformed by Thomas Newman.

[in2theabyss17]

I never, ever get tired of this movie....not ever! Frank Darabont is one hell of a director!

[Larryzelreh]

It really is the little things about this movie that make it so amazing. For example, the expression on Red's face as the prisoners are telling Andy stories - he laughs along with them, but his expression becomes somber in reflection just as the narration says "Sometimes it makes me sad, though ..." Also, the piano kicking in at 1:29 in the clip, perfectly and subtly timed with Red looking up and reflecting. I know some people think it's over-rated, but by any standard, this is an amazing film.

[MarryMeSyn]

Agreed!

[jake062490]

@Larryzelreh yea...damn your right outstanding acting

[SuperVincent85]

"who crawled through a river of sh!t and came out clean on the other side"

that part makes me tear up because i see myself in my position and it feels amazing

this whole movie is really one amazing metaphor for life when u really think about it

brilliant

[SuperVincent85]

i see myself in THAT same position, a man who crawled through sh!t and came out clean on the other side

is what i meant to type in....hahah

[szbb]

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.

Best movie line ever in my opinion...

[rarciniega]

... some birds aren't meant to be caged their feathers are just too bright.

Best movie line ever!

[362748]

Agreed!!!

[funnygal200]

Such a wonderful scene yet sad. Thank you!

[cmiller108]

"but still the place i live in is that much more drab and empty now that their gone" life sometimes blows!

[cmiller108]

My brother was my bestfriend and right now hes getting deployed to Japan with N Korea setting of nukes right across the sea... my other best friend literally went insane!!!! goddamit "i guess i just miss my friend" too...

[cinder2009]

goddamnit.  I miss my friend too.

[amthewillow]

Morgan Freeman's voice just does justice to a GREAT script by Stephen King. A perfect pairing.

[jesekisgek]

this part of the film struck me so deeply... This might be the best film i've ever seen.

[wwert987]

I can't get over the words from 1:01 to 1:26, but what is more amazing is how he says them with sooo much feeling. Inbelievable!

[yourbudjerry]

Not a better scene in any movie....

[ChaffyGlitz]

me either...and I try to not cry but...those lyrics are so powerful!!!

[alun101]

Nice post - thanks

[charanjit1974]

love this part, so ture, about what he say's about andy and some bird's are not meant to caged, their feather's are two bright, really nice....

best movie ever, it helped me through things in my life

[MrPeeintheShower]

easily the best movie ever made.

the part where he plays the record over the PA, it makes me cry with happiness, as gay as that sounds. i want to know what that's like, and i would take the beating for it too.

[salahudin100]

I think that this is one of the best scenes of the movie. I love Red, because he's not jaleous of Andy's escape. When he's laughing by watching the map, we feel that Red is really happy for Andy. It's a great proof of friendship...

[citykid33]

@salahudin100 A better proof of friendship would've been protecting him when he was getting sexually harrased by a bunch of dudes. After all, he was a "man who knows how to get things"....should've got him some help.

[m33lover]

Perfect scene....I have to remaid myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged....There feathers are just to bright. And when they fly away the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoices, 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"

[jazzyfizzle149]

i love his voice....love this scene

[stuy9777]

This is one of the most emotionally moving scenes ever produced. Who hasn't felt that way about a loved one who needed to be free.

True words right there...

In ones life time, you will feel that.

[mlderr1]

I certainly agree with that statement. I've seen that scene many times now, and it always brings tears to my eyes.  Makes me think of old friends whom I miss

[serendipitysoul]

I have never heard of this and it showed up on my recommended for you* section.

Strange..

[MusketeerFan]

yea Red's (Morgan Freeman) narriation at the end at the halfway house was great

(I guess i just miss my friend)

(Get busy livin or Get busy dyin)

[Greenandscaly]

Who would have believed that the greatest movie from a work by Stephen King would be a PRISON film and not a horror film?

[Made0in0Belgium]

his best books are of real life gruesome and scary, but entirely possible, if you ever get the chance read different seasons, one of his best books

[ralphdowneyiii]

This is one of the most emotionally moving scenes ever produced. Who hasn't felt that way about a loved one who needed to be free.

[funnygal200]

Brilliant movie! This scene is wonderful. yet sad. Morgan Freeman's narration is awesome! The ending of this movie is just the best! Thx for posting!

[bigsteveportland]

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!

[maame85]

I love morgan freeman!!!!!

[Zacksquatch]

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm one of the guys who got all mushy at that part of the movie. lol. I was afraid no one would've posted it, but I still typed it that immortal line, well immortal to those who have seen the move; "I guess I just miss my friend." And there it was. Amazing.

[agnosticcc]

I pitty those people who haven't seen this film. My life would have been poorer if hadn't seen this movie. It's movie the way i always dream movie could be.

[bringinglove81]

Yes I was looking for this last scene as well.

I am so grateful to have seen this movie, I feel privileged. What a great movie and full of beautiful life lessons from key scenes like this one.

I am not ashamed to say I cry when I see this movie or its key scenes.

[AMCsoldier]

I was looking for exactly this scene. Wasn't sure if I'd find it. Thanks for posting.

[timeforme1]

Watched this movie again last night; God I love it. I am missing my friend too and he expresses it so well when he says "but still the place you live in is that much more drab and empty when they are gone, I guess I just miss my friend"

[eversmot]

I love this scene, I love this movie!!! Freeman's voice is so calming and soothing

[LetMeMurkIt]

amen. i guess this is why they chose him to narrate march of the penguins

[HeyaheyOfficial]

The whole movie is outstanding!

5* for your one! Nice scenes !

[gooeyshoe16]

favorite scene for sure, great music cues.

[severyn1982]

"but still that place you live in is more drab and empty that theyre gone...i guess i just miss my friend" makes me cry everytime

[ridleyrulesme]

One of the most poetic passages in movie history.

[nipster73]

The relationsip Andy and Red had was almost to the tee of my relationship with a man named Lucious he seen a man who was troubled and help me see that I still could lead a productive life and that I was worthy of self love that can only come when we forgive ourselves I miss him my friend He spent almost twenty years inside that hell and died two months short of leaving I think about him often R.I.P. Lou you turkey!!!!

[raggmanss]

absofuckinglutly fucking fanfuckingtastic film this part is orfuckinggasmic

[Sh4d0w22]

"some birds arent meant to be caged, there feathers are just to 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 that you drag and live in is just as empty that there gone i guess i just miss my friend..."

Just absolutly beautiful

[crutherford1]

thanks for quoting that. the first time i heard line that my eyes watered. still do.

[Sh4d0w22]

yh its so amazing what a great movie

[gelbot]

My eyes water at this line as well, but it's every time I hear it.

[EtherVoice]

It gives me hope in human nature.

We all just want to be free to give love and feel loved.

5stars.

[Brendonions]

That is so true...I long for that right now

[notreallyhere77]

Thanks for this. I miss my friend.

What I think of when Morgan said that is

the problems she went though (she was

disabled) and now she is clean on the other

side and flying high.

[tortellino23]

I guess that's the real friendship.

[samrandles]

favorite scene, although when he gets the beers for the lads is great too! morgan feeman is the man!!

[ciaran1000]

Andy Dufrane 'Who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side'. One of the best quotes in movie history.

[Brahmachari1015195]

great movie!!

[Indul1]

When i first saw the film and watched andy driving to mexico in that car and just felt lit up, it was a strange and wonderful feeling.

[6thmanproductions]

the part when hes driving along the beach is so epic and the words red says during this are so epic

[carmondiaz]

My favorite scene! I love the happy ending

[scutter28]

after i read this from the stephen king short story compilation, different seasons, i could not believe that the King could write such a beautiful story. i knew at that moment that stephen king was my generations jack london. if you all havent read the stories from different seasons..go to the library. they are awesome

[carmondiaz]

Long before I read the short story by King. I was in love with the movie. To find it in a book accidently like 10 years ago was such a prize to me. I can never get tired of this movie. King is awsome writer. Have you read any more of Kings books? I guess I like prison storie cause Green Mile is another excellent book.

[scutter28]

ive read nearly all of king's books including the dark tower series. my favorite novelby him is the shining

[justchillin21090]

I miss my best friend too!!! :( .Sucks being replaced.

[deesmam]

the most heartfelt comment ever..........

[TWheels94]

So true.....

[britvroman]

britvroman was here

"Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just to 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 now that they're gone..." - says it all.. and what a great narration. That's one of my favorite quotes. Amazing!

[rodeo179]

well said!!
