  • It's got to be the one of the most satisfying endings of all time. I love the scene before this when Andy walks into the bank and withdraws all the money he's been putting away all those years. He had it all planned out so well with the rock hammer, the posters. He even packed some nice clothes and a bar of soap to wash himself off. Then he set things up so red could find him and the credits roll. PERFECT!

  • Ohhh I get it Bruce Willis was dead all along....

  • Fear can make you a prisoner, HOPE can set you free

  • O filme da minha vida... O MEU FILME. Amo, como nenhum outro. Eterno.

    The film of my life ... MY MOVIE. I Love like no other. Eternal.

  • The ending is the best! Love it!!

  • Stephen King RuleZzzzz!!!

  • Anyone notice at 1:20 morgan's freeman hat just randomly flies off! 

  • 3 People are getting busy dying

  • Get busy living.......

  • Classics came out 1 by 1 during this era..Shawshank, Braveheart, Forrest Gump..and many others i wish would come back in quality and enjoyment,,but drama/quality faded into graphics/boring...

  • Hands down best movie ever made

  • Best...ending...ever

  • @cfi2927087 makes you wonder how Red and Andy lived out the rest of their days. So many possibilities.

  • A true masterpiece. Just this scene alone would be a top ten movie all time.

  • morgan freeman is truly a FREEMAN.... :) one of the best movies ever

  • "Get busy living or get busy dying" one of the best quotes ever.

  • absolute first class film, a super ending, top ho Mr Freeman and co

  • "the excitement that only a free man can feel"...a Morgan FREEMAN.

  • I bet the Sharks are worse than Shawshank

  • Been watching this video for the Past 4 years hoping I could say these lines and today I finally got my freedom..

    @92chillwill - many Man Tears were shed indeed

  • Many man tears were shed.

  • Small taste of what heaven looks like.

  • The real ending you don't see...Morgan Freeman kicks the Bucket because he's part of the list. And Tim Robbins sails away in the sunset, narrowly missing a Perfect Storm. He gets a bit off course and lands in Mystic River where Sean Penn is there to greet him, takes him out for a few drinks, then shoots him at twilight for messing with his daughter...The End!

  • Spot on narration!

    But not nearly as good as when he read the audiobook for "The Poop that Took a Pee."

  • In the sequel, they went and got some Mexican broads

  • A great metaphor for what this world could be, if we all could just care about one another, for we are all brothers and sisters, we are all family. Friendship, brotherhood and love transcend all barriers of country, race and economics. Some day, some day.

  • I'm actually thankful this film never got the win for an Oscar.

    It's so much more accessible to all of the rest of us because of it... It's not even a movie at this point but a visual poem almost.

  • my eyes get when ever i see this scene and for the music

  • and the very best scene is bird flying while red walking. i literally cried . i have no words to say

  • I think it's the excitement that only a Freeman can feel. LOL

  • brilliant and thrilling the last shot!!!!!!,how frank darabont move the camera away when tim and morgan hug each other. In foreground it wouldn,t be so showny,and it would be so affected in my opinion.

  • A true masterpiece. Stephen king can make ANY concept beatiful and is truely brilliant.

  • the ultimate bromance.

  • I can't be the only man who cries at this ending.

  • @lukeallyn ..WE cant be the only men who cries at the ending..get busy livin or get busy dyin..

  • This truly is a masterpiece

  • Life would be better if Morgan Freeman could narrate my day everyday inside my head.

  • I'm not gonna cry... I'm not gonna cry... I'm not go... Damn it, I'm crying.

  • Such a great film! 

  • Get busy living or get busy dying!!

  • This scene always gets to me.... I cant stop smiling and wanting to cry.

  • goosebumps... always goosebumps and a few tears.

  • Chills, chills and chills

  • That is my all-time favorite quote in a movie - "Get busy living, or get busy dying. That's Goddamn right." This scene always makes me cry and laugh at the same time! AWESOME. AWESOME. AWESOME. One of the greatest flims ever.

  • @pudgyshuman great line indeed, the one that got stuck in my head was:

    I guess i just miss my friend.

  • i find im so excited i can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head, i think its the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey, whos conclusion is uncertain... incredible film greatest ever

  • greatest film ever made

  • I too hope.........

  • what an amazing ending to an amazing movie..

  • its beautiful.

  • it's rainy, it's dark... it's winter and the sea is grey. This ending brings me joy for a couple of seconds :)

  • Get busy living.........

  • 'I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope'

  • If I could ever meet an Actor it would be him. Just listening to his Voice makes me feel good. What a great Actor.

  • THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!

  • @dkantis damn rite it is...and that it is an understatement

  • @dkantis It is according to IMDB, ranked number 1 in the top 250 movies of all time

  • @dkantis its pretty special

  • @dkantis That's goddamn right

  • Fear holds you prisoner, hope sets you free.

  • @MrCMAN0715 So true, and the movie had one of the best life lessons of all time - "Get busy living or get busy dying."

  • " I hope."

  • Truly one of the best endings in movie history.

  • This film changed me.. When I was in the Navy it helped me a lot. Thank you.

  • I cry everyone I watch this. I hope to make it to freedom one day.

  • I wish it would have gone another 10 min showing red and andy talking on the beach and embracing one another and talking about old times .

  • BEST FILM EVER MADE! I dont care what anyone says, this film touched souls of millions of people, more than anything else ever created in cinema.

  • @Thaulin titanic was the film that made millions of people cry in the world, won oscars and 2nd highest grossing film of all time

  • @badturkali yeah maybe some teenage girls...sorry but I just dont see it, titanic is really good film but its was too much hype all around

  • @Thaulin what about gladiator, the green mile and terminator 2

  • @badturkali To jump in, no one film have ever been the "most inspiring" to everyone. However, films like Titanic and The Shawshank Redemption are usually on people's lists. I think Shawshank might be the most inspiring work of fiction ever.

  • Is this a true story?

  • @DWynter1993 No, this is adapted from one of four novellas in 'Different Seasons', three of which were made into movies.

  • bawling as one of the best endings ever. goes deep within us all.. :)

  • Best happy ending in movie History!

  • Morgan Freeman's voice was incredible, just in the word "dreams" he evokes a feeling of unencumbered bliss, and with the soundscape... incredible.

  • I have got busy living.

    Going fishing again soon for real fish

    You have everything you need to pull the other one in.

    I am tired, very unwell and I gone above and beyond the call of duty to protect YOU and others from harm and injustice.

    Project AZURE Tasmania 1 does need someone who knows how to get things done.

  • Never mind the ending. The whole movie is simply astounding. Such delicacy in the script writing, directing, soundtrack and of course the actors. I hope to one day have the wisdom and vision to make movies at least half as beautiful and touching as this.

    I hope...

  • One of the greatest ending ever in a movie.

  • @dvdreview1 But was it as good as the ending of Rocky? Rocky overall was not as good as this film. But no-one can deny the ending of Rocky is in the top ten most powerful of all time.

  • @TheLecheMilk Haven't seen Rocky, so I can't say.

  • I'm glad that they tacked on the part where Red actually meets Andy at the end. The movie gives you one final 'uplifting' feeling after we think that the movie will end fading into the pacific ocean. Great money shot when Andy stands up w the blue sky background.

  • 1 person didn't make it across the border

  • For Jill---the person I wish and hope all "good things" for. xoxo

  • This is how the Sandals resort empire was established...........

  • Oh I forgot to put up this so-called movie cridics name. Lenard Maltin, in case any body else wants to know.

  • Comment removed

  • They escaped what seemed like hell to a paradise right here one earth....

  • beautiful film abou the bond of friendship

  • 'I hope'.

    Without this, what is there for any of us?

    'Get busy living or get busy dying'.

    This novella was extraordinary.

  • Shit, now i'm crying again ;)

  • GOD WISH THIS MOVIE NEVER HAD TO END !!!

  • The best thing in the scene: The Hat flying.

    Amazing.

  • @brazdamnit The hat flying off was F'ing amazing and so much meaning in it!!!

  • @brazdamnit just noticed, and I've seen this video so many times.

  • Comment removed

  • GREAT MOVIE

  • This is one of the greatest endings I have ever seen!

  • shouldve made a number 2!

  • Morgan Fryman sucks balls!!!!!

    They need to do a remake with Shia LeBeuf as Andy and Oscar winner Jamie Fox as Red and then this will be a really great movie!!!!!!!!

  • @bim2x4 shut up you idiot. its freeman anyway.

  • @bim2x4 You say Morgan FrEEman (learn to spell, jackass) sucks and then you have the nerve to suggest Jamie Foxx could take his place in a remake? Or that Shia LeBeouf should be in any movie? You are an absolute moron. Jamie Foxx doesn't have the talent to even carry Morgan Freeman's shoes. Morgan Freeman is a legend. Foxx is a wannabe.

  • @bim2x4 lol, you're retard. No one can surpass Morgan Freeman's godlike voice

  • @bim2x4 lol....wow

  • One day I want Morgan Freeman to read me just one bedtime story.

  • The word Epic begins --- just BEGINS to describe the awesomeness that is Shawshank Redemption.

  • @JaiHindArbhav and the movie Shawshank Redemption begins --- just BEGINS to describe the awesomeness that is Morgan Freeman.

  • i cry every time i watch this scene!

  • Allen Greene must of been a great man.

  • i was smiling so wide and crying so hard at this fantastic scene.. ICANTEVEN...

  • is there any greater satisfaction in movie history than when you see that big beaming smile on red's face? it makes you smile and cry at the same time.

  • @andrewstheman Maybe Cheif running off at the end of Cuckoo's Nest. Both films are great. :)

  • Get busy living or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

    I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man 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....

  • i know i'm very late but i wanna watch the full movie, YouTube has only been given me little clips.. please does anyone know where i can find the real movie? jus this little clip already baffled me :')

  • @kingdaniel101. Local DVD store, or from the internet store. You sure could just download it, but spending money to this masterpiece is a must thing to do.

  • @kingdaniel101 goto one of those dvd box machines at gas stations for one dollar

  • i'm a man and i won't deny this movie cause a lot my tears...

  • You never know if he actually meets Andy on the beach. That scene is actually a dream he is having on the bus, since he is saying "I hope," you know he's actually not there yet.

  • @moviebuff1941 Not really; they originally planned to end the movie with Red saying "I hope.", but Paramount wouldn't allow it. They needed that final payoff of Red finding Andy (and on a deeper level, himself) so they changed the script.

  • Not for an old crook like me..

  • longest yard was fucking retarted.....american history X ehhh......Shashank Redemtion the best

  • watch, american history X or the longest yard for a good prison movie.

  • This is the one movie everybody should see.There is nothing else to say,,,

  • This is deffinitly the best film of all time

  • does he hang himself

  • "Sure i remember the name. Zihuatanejo. A name like that is just to pretty to forget.

    I hope Andy is down there.

    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"."

  • A Esperança nunca morre!...filmaço!

  • I love the line "I hope to see my friend"

  • I hope...:)

  • Greatest mother fudging film in the history of mankind. End of!

  • Greatest. Film. Ever.

  • This is the best movie ever created. Stephan King... I never knew he could write such a happy story. He has some kind of ability to make us speachless. When I say "This is epic"... This is truley A happy movie. 10 star rating for Top 10 Movies of All time. Titanic at number 2. This.... At number 1. :) :) :)

  • is this the first time a black protagonist has survived an entire movie, excluding will smith? 

  • "Do you remember the name of the town?"

    "CRAP!!!"

  • best scene ever

  • I would love Morgan Freeman to read me bedtime-stories :)

  • Red made it...... :')

  • Get busy livin

  • It's amazing that Stephen King wrote something so beautiful.

  • One of the greatest movies ever made of all time.

  • My brother and I have decided that if mankind can create a substance which makes us live forever, we should only give it to Morgan Freeman so he can continue to be an incredible actor and give the beautiful monologues.

  • 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.

    best film ever made

  • TOO FUCKING GREAT. EVERY TIME I CHOKE UP. THIS IS WHAT THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER LOOKS LIKE :)

  • I like it when hes working on his boat and he looks like doesnt have a care in the world because hes happy.Then his friend comes along there both happy,they probably fix the boat up,tell storys and catch fish all day what a life.It looks peaceful this scene.Pacific ocean is beautiful, just like this movie.Great movie

  • This movie teaches us what is HOPE.

  • this movie should get an oscar every year

  • This movie will go down as the best of all-time, and in 50 years, it will still be #1. I cannot count how many quotes from this movie will stick with me until I move on from this earth.

  • Awesome movie...amazing ending!

  • I would love Morgan Freeman to read me bedtime stories.

  • BEST MOVIE IN HISTORY OF HUMAN RACE... This movie should have been sent with voyager craft which was sent into deep universe if anyone finds it, amongst other greatest human achivment on it... because none of movies explains human soul as it is, like this movie does...but voyager was sent long time before this movie was made :) greets

  • @CroPETROforever You know, CroPETRO, I thought this was a incredible movie as well. It's to bad one movie cridic thought this movie didn't even rate more than two and a half stars. Him and nakedbison who obviously didn't care for this movie either, couldn't see how incredible this movie is. And can you believe that Maltin is getting paid for his cridism. As far as I'm conserned, people who loved this movie shouldn't even buy any of his movie books.

  • Cancel all future movies - this made them all pointless in comparison.

  • I remember when I first saw this movie, I was left completely speechless at the end. I had no idea that a movie where the characters suffered so much could have such a happy ending.

  • stephen king...amazing book/movies

  • Get busy livin'

    or get get busy dyin'...

    ...Thats god damn right.

  • Fuck it, i'm watching this again tonight.

  • Most people don't know this movie was written by Stephen King of Horror Book Fame! This is actually based on one of his short stories. Rita Hayw???? and the Shawshank Redemption.

    King also wrote the Green Mile starring Tom Hanks!

  • @iwatch4u2 lol dude im sure everyone who watches this knows that. lol you'd have to be a dumb ass to watch this movie and not know:P

  • the best movie...EVER!

  • the only film ending that makes me feel the same as the first time i saw it

  • people who disable video embedding just irritate me... why? Just greedy or something...do you think you get less watches or something? It only gets you more.

  • guys pause this video and mute it open a new tab and watch king kong central park.

    fast forward until you reach 2:35 play that song then go back here and play this video

  • :')
