it's too nicey nice. schmaltzy. It's not a BAD movie, but it's almost insulting how hard it tries
You know how Freddy Got Fingered or Tim and Eric's billion dollar movie constantly do the wrong thing on purpose? This movie does the right thing on purpose but it's super predictable
to me, the penultimate Stephen King movie will always be Stand By Me.

neva give up the movie. normies love that shit. same thing with one flew over cuckoos nest

>>215077713
Well Written.
Well performed.
Well filmed.

This film does everything well. It's also very watchable.

>>215077776
it's funny how it's got the MC being repeatedly raped and it still comes off as schmaltzy as you say. pulling that off with rape is a feat in itself i guess

I think the scene where he finally climbs out of the tunnel and ecstatically into a downpour of rain is inspiriting. Also the fish out of water, and heist nature of the film makes it engaging among the introspective drama.

It fucking goes on man. 2 hours and 22 minutes

when I was a kid I refused to believe he was raped. I thought he fought them back at the laundry and that other place and the guards beat the shit out of the main fag right after that. turns out he was raped repeatedly for two whole years.

>>215078962
He was never raped, he fended off the sodomites every time and got beat up for it

That spiel he gives about the brain injury and needing to open the jaws with a crowbar is bad lol

>>215077713
every scene is meaningful

>>215077776
I enjoyed the description "it's too nicey nice. schmaltzy." That's pretty much it

>>215079195
He was raped off camera. Always believe

>>215077713
general appeal, literally everybody likes it to some degree

I love this movie because it's about things I'll never experience in my life: hope and friends.

>>215077713
It's as beautiful as The Lord of The Rings.
The ending is also as beautiful.

>>215079644
why does it have to happen to you though? you could look at a flowers and feel happiness from its beauty without ever wanting to become the flower itself
the angels see beautiful friendship in the world and are amazed by it, but they do not wish to be humans just to experience it

>>215078944
I couldn't watch it twice though, it feels 600 green miles of shit too long.

Totally overrated by pseuds and faggots who get off on the prison rape shit.

Also they ruined the ambiguity of whether he actually killed his wife. That was just lame.

>>215080289
>who get off on the prison rape shit.
How brain fucked do you have to be to form such retarded takes? They aren't getting off to it, those scenes are terrifying.

>>215080313
No, I've met people who get off on it - mostly women - like the bitch who insisted on showing me this film in the first place.

Just look at how far this thread got before someone bought it up. They always do.

>>215080289
>t. doesn't get the point of the movie
If you don't know who killed his wife, then you haven't watched the movie, since it was stated crystal clear.

>>215080340
>t. doesn't get the point of the post he's responding to
Retard.

>>215077713
It makes me think I should just commit a crime and get life. I can't handle outside. That looks easier. Minus the raping.

>>215080353
>incel watches Joker 2 and wants to emulate it IRL

bullshit, she was recommending what she thought was a great movie, not because the rape

>>215077713
I watched this and the godfather due to IMDb ratings
overated trash

>>215080386
lol you know know that crazy bitch and how long she talked about it.

I suspect you don't know any bitches at all in fact.

>>215080387
You are correct sir!

Just a particular type of faggot who like mob horseshit with overrate that and other shit like Goodfellas.

>>215080350
The people like it not because they get off to rape. It's because the movie is about hope, trying to get out of desperate times, evil times, etc.

>>215077713
Don't forget that in the novel the character wasn't a nigger but an Irish guy If I recall correctly
Just kike things I assume

>>215080405
>listening to bitches while he hates them
gigaretard more retarded than the retarded bitches

>>215079195
Red explicitly states that sometimes he did, sometimes he didn't.

>>215080452
There are many blacks in jail, did you forget the 13% statistics?

>>215077713
It's nothing special. It wouldn't be in my top 10,000 if I had seen 10,001.
This amongst others corrupts me so I can't go to where I was clean in case corrupting there.

Or they needed someone who could talk about rape and make it sound wholesome. Read: Morgan Freeman.

>>215080634
He’s just one of those “all convicts are always bad” bootlickers

>>215080691
DEI nigger that is the whole reason nothing special about Freeman

>>215077713
Most well liked. Because it's got a universal message that wagies can cling to.

this movie is one of the I don't really get

Am I woke for liking Reds character?
I mean, he seemed like a really likeable character who was just unlucky dropping the television on the cops foot. He didn't do nothing wrong, I bet if he had a nice woman he'd never set his foot at the place at all.

Ok, we all know Andy was a murderer. And so was Brooks. And so was Byron. and also Red. But what had the other guys done to get in jail?

the story is basically bout an wagie who decides to rob the bank, gets caught then tries to cheat his way out everything, from gay penetration to rooftop brick laying

Lot of rewatchability and it's a simple story. It doesn't try to be anything more than it is.

>mid
Your opinion holds no value if you use faggot terms like that.

>>215079195
Oh fucking come on, what bullshit. If you’re going to to a prison rape, do a prison rape, don’t fucking launder the act by saying ‘actually he’s such a strong survivor that he successfully defends his asshole’s purity every day but he’s still suuuch a suffering figure that he agruwply is beaten up enough for the crime of winning, that its even worse than being raped, that way we can say he was tragically raped but he was not raped he’s actually a suffering pure winner’, more of the main reason this movie pisses me off - the whole thing is just too fucking morally easy, to a point of childishness. ‘And we went to prison but we were all wise and already redeemed characters, so we spent the whole time joyfully reciting poetry and life advice to eachother, and the bad warden was just awful and so corrupt he hated that but he tripped and fell on his ass every day, and actually he was a pedophile. And neither him nor you know we actually were breaking out peacefully the whole time and escaped to living heaven’ like come on, its not an intellectual movie is it?

>>215077713
That cover sucks ass.

>>215081224
this
>Convinces his rapists he will bite their dicks off even if he's dead
>PhD level knowledge of the US tax code, uses this to serve as an invaluable asset for every free man in his proximity
>Extremely conscientious, cautiously plans his escape out over the course of 20 years
>Tricks the warden into killing himself after ruining his life
>Manages to get a nice buzz going on with his boys while behind bars
>Is able to break out of prison and retire having not worked in the private sector in decades

The whole movie is like an old black man lying about how epic some white boy he met was. Yeah okay grandpa, and the warden killed himself after too, right

>>215077713
I like how they made Red (known for his red hair) black and the Sisters (who are black rapists) white. Really well done Hollywood.

>>215081529

Ah yes, American History X.
The movie that spends the whole runtime showing the main characters learned that racism is wrong and then one of them gets gunned down by a negro.

I mean the character that accidentally drops the tv is in ahx.

>>215077713
It's the most likeable movie in the world. That's how IMDB ratings work.

>>215077713
That movie is THE normiest core of the normcore movies that ever was. Best I can tell anons love it for the:
>magical negro worship aspect
>the gay prison rape fantasy aspect
>and most retarded prison escape fantasy aspect

I'm sure one's IQ has to be in the lower 70s to appreciate that fine, fine feature film.

>>215083161
What the state considers wrong is often not morally wrong.

>>215081529
Movie made by the same ethnicity who in a previous movie depicted niggers as gentle giants
The brainwashing goes hard

why does everyone applaud when the prison warden offs himself??
I save it at the cinema and I heard people cheering when he did it, and I just don't get why

>>215085160
women and females loves it when an "evil" man kills himself

>>215077843
>Normies love One flew over the cuckoos nest
I'm sorry what?? Most people under 40 have probably never even heard of it. Shawshank on the other hand still gets talked about alot

>>215077713
SAAAAAAAR IT NEEDS MORE CAPESHIT AND EXPLOSIONS SAAAR

>>215083161
Andy wasn't a criminal thoughbeit. Red on the other hand...

>>215080289
>they ruined the ambiguity of whether he actually killed his wife
I don't think they did. The police said at the beginning of the movie they had found his fingerprints on some bullet casings in the scene. The story told by that jock guy was probably false.

>>215085641
Shawshank is basically an epic length Dhar Mann video

>>215081352
Anon. Settle down. Maybe actually watch it before going blindly off of what people on/tv/ fucking around say. In the movie Red says that sometimes he was raped and sometimes he wasn’t they just don’t dwell on it because it’s not about muh rape

>>215080725
>nothing special
>about Morgan Freeman

lol

>>215085884
She was killed with a golf club. His. That would obviously have his fingerprints on it.

Because normies are morons. It's a 6/10 flick.

>celebrates nearly all masculine values; camaraderie among strangers, hope even in the worst of times, persistence and patience, the pursuit of knowledge in idle times, atonement and repentance, being more conceptual than material
>striking imagery; a man escaping essentially from hell and becoming an almost divine figure in paradise, iconic cinematography
>the buttery, syrupy smooth monologues of Morgan Freeman
>no f*males whatsoever
It is exactly what film should aspire to be.

>>215077713
I don't know that it deserved to be at the top of the list for as long as it was but it's a great movie.

Tom Hanks was originally supposed to play Dufresne. Like The Green Mile in reverse and without all the voodoo hype...

If you love this movie you don't understand cinema or art.

Not this director's best film

>>215081529
what til you find out about the race swap in A Time to Kill

Say what you want about the movie, but fuzzy britches is a great line.

without dunking on normies, endings are typically not good, nor well done. Shawshenk has one of th best endings in all of film from inspiration, cinematography, color, acting, just an uplifting ending, and you walk away feeling good, inspired. Not many films achieve a well done ending

I didn't like this or The Green Mile either. It's not like King tells really complex stories, but Darabont completely strips out what little nuance is present anyway.

>>215077713
>Let's replace redhead guy with a nigger
>Darabont was born in a refugee camp in 1959 in Montbéliard, France to Hungarian parents[3][4] who had fled Hungary for France after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, bringing his five brothers and four sisters, and three cousins. When Darabont was still an infant, his family immigrated to the United States, settling in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles when Darabont was five.[5]

cause it's one you can rewatch at anytime and never get bored with, you can even turn it on midway through and want to watch the rest, it's one of the most satisfying movies ever made

>>215077776
>the penultimate Stephen King movie will always be Stand By Me.
I don't think penultimate means what you think it means

Rips off Clint Eastwood's Alcatraz.

>>215088767
which lifts scenes from The Great Escape. your point being?

>>215077776
fpbp

>>215077713
It’s a good movie. I view it as an allegory for the story of Job. Never give up, keep striving, make the best of everything, you will be rewarded for your tenacity, even if it seems infinitely far off in the present.

Now Green Mile? That was a fat load of shit.

>>215077776
The main character’s life is completely and utterly ruined and he goes through things that would break most people. It earns the schmaltziness though it was definitely better in the context of when it came out compared to today

>>215077713
I didn't like that it was ultimately a very unjust ending, despite trying to make it seem happy and fulfilling.

Like, he spends decades in prison, never gets exonerated for the crime he was accused of, and has to live the rest of his life as a fugitive in another country. But oh, he found a boat and lives on the beach in Mexico so it's fine actually.

>>215088891
Yet despite this he eventually gets to taste freedom and live a fulfilling life once more. The character had been in prison so long that him being exonerated didn’t really matter. All he wanted was to be free and he eventually got it through pure determination and earning the trust and respect of everyone around him. Sometimes there is sacrifice and bad shit that you can’t help but you can navigate it in better or worse ways

>>215088891
>lives on a beach in mexico with his best friend
>this is somehow not 'happy and fulfilling'
yeah he should totally just go back to prison, i agree.

>>215085110
Frank Darabont is actually not jewish, despite his nose. He's Hungarian. I'm sure it was mostly jewish producers, though.

>>215077713
It's good, but it's no "Get Out".

>>215077713
It's not actually an all time great, it's just a fun movie anybody can watch, and have a good time. It ticks a lot of boxes, has heartache, fun, and a happy ending. It's like Forrest Gump. Most people don't think it's the best movie ever, but virtually everybody thinks it's pretty good, and has seen it because they would air these on TV all the time.

>>215086016
if he was raped even a single time he becomes property but stephen king lives in maine where there is no crime and his only exposure to prison is him fantasizing about getting raped sometimes and sometimes he wins against the rapist because hes also like super tough

I hate Morgan Freeman. His voice. His face. His disgusting facial skintag moles. His shit acting. Ruined every single role he ever played.
