Poll: Get busy living? Or get busy dying?
Get busy
Well technically aren't we all really just busy dying? It's just taking a really long time...
You're God-damn right.
Or just vanish like a fart in the wind!
Sometimes there is no difference.
Be honest, all of us would like Morgan Freeman to narrate our lives, if only for one day.
Just be careful if it’s Emma Thompson.
Nope, I would need Samuel L. Jackson to narrate my life, because I would need ALOT of MFers
I read your comment in Morgan's buttery-smooth baritone in my head.
You would get tired of it about maybe 10 mins
Do we?
Ha, never caught that foreshadowing with the "It's just shitty pipe dreams," line.
I've seen it disengaged of times and yes, I've _only just noticed that_ Which is why you and I don't have KZhead channels where we talk about movies for an hour.
Watched the movie maybe 100 times and never made the connection. This is why I know I'm an idiot.
Same
Andy was like GRRREAT SCOTTT
I don't really think it was meant to be..
The redemption was Red's. Andy never lost hope. Red had. But was redeemed by Andy's character.
So Red's Dead Redemption???
@@lukelyon1781 Omg!! Yes!
@@lukelyon1781 hahahaha
Love this comment
@@lukelyon1781 "So Red's Dead Redemption???" That one got a good laugh out of me. Well played, sir.
If I had to explain a film plot badly for Shawshank redemption I would say: "while doing taxes for 19 years a man digs a hole"
That really is explaining it badly. At least change "After" to "While"!
@@petertaylor4980 I shall change it right now
Relatable
Morgan Freeman went full Morgan Freeman in this movie.
Beautiful description.
Morgan Freeman INVENTED Morgan Freeman in this movie.
This was peak Morgan Freeman
Except that he wasn't a free man
Married a relative?
One of the best reveals of all time when he realizes the poster's use.
But how did he tape the poster back up over the hole after he crawled through it? That was always my problem.
@@Room-xi6nb Easy. You only untape one side. Bottom, top, side, doesn't matter. You then crawl in, reach behind you, and pull it back into the wall, effectively retaping it.
@@phin422 has to be top side...if its bottom you cant tape it from the wall.....its tape only on top side
Really Sherlock.........?!
I'm so sad it got spoiled for me
"A greek tragedy narrated like an ASMR video". That's gotta be the most accurate description of this film I've ever heard.
It really is. I laughed so much at that. Like yup, never thought of it that way...
Nah in a greek tragedy, nobody would survive :D Or they all end up blind or something mean
"Morgan not Freeman". LMAO.
"Brooks and Done" simultaneously made me laugh and hurt from remembering that whole sequence leading to his suicide
Interesting tidbit: The room they used to film that "apartment" where Brooks stayed was actually an office inside the real prison they shot at. A bit of meta-symbolism that Brooksie never made it out of prison.
I was afraid that joke would be overlooked, because I can't imagine too many Honest Trailer fans are also familiar with 90's era country music duos.
@ManDevil wow that is ...deep
Yeah, too soon man. Too soon.
Yeah that one made me chuckle then aww☹️
The Green Mile honest trailer should have this joke: "When Stephen King and Frank Darabont lost the oscar to Forrest Gump, they cast Forrest Gump himself. Cuz if you can't beat him, join him".
I went looking for the Green Mile honest trailer and couldn't find it :-( so I watched the Frankie Boyle Green Mile sketch instead
"Brooks & Done". That was terrible. I'm sorry. Just terrible. And yet I laughed. I'm terrible.
We are all terrible
@@screenjunkies say "We all have it coming kid."
Best Quote ever!!!
Terrible? It was fantastic!
If you laughed and you did - according to your testimony - then it wasn't terrible.
This movie is so good that I couldn't laugh at this Honest Trailer's jokes
I cried
Whew, I thought it was just me. I was wondering why the narrator was playing it so serious, wondering when they were going to start with the ribbing.
You need to lighten up. It's just a movie.
"Sounds like a southern wrestler's finishing move" made me cracking up hard.
Me either 😂
Greatest movie of all time. Infinitely rewatchable. It doesn't have a complex plot, it doesn't have explosions and w.e. Yet it grabs your attention from the beginning, and lets you go at the end filled with positive emotions. It is what cinema is supposed to be. A perfect movie.
Well said!
Funnily enough I saw forest gump exactly once when I was 20( 36 now), was like meh. Then watch Shawshank a year or two later and loved it and watched it loads, and for the irony I rewatched it asap after being inside for a month 😀
One of the very best Stephen King adaptions ever made.
@@kt9166 *The* best. There isn't a close second.
Underrated comment.
The shawshank redemption: exists Honest trailers: finally a worthy opponent
They showed much respect for A Muppet Christmas Carole.
They did one for that one movie? One of my all time faves
They were beaten by Logan. Even when they called in Deadpool to riff on it he refused because it's just too damn good.
Brooks was such a lovely character
"Why he chose enchilada night, we will never know."
Let's face it, the guards thought not even a mad prisoner would try the pipe escape on that night
Perfect time to escape haha. Also have a swim in the river afterwards though...
Nice line Cleveland.
This is my go-to post for anything shawshank related, so stop it now!!...or am I being obtuse?
_bam-bam-bam-bam_
For people who don't know; morgan freeman's character is a ginger irishman in the book. The scene where andy asks "why they call him red" and he replies "maybe its cos i'm irish" is a nod to the book. That line confused me for years until i asked google, which is know to locate certain tjings from time to time
Ah beat me to it.
You should read the story.
@@rosaiglarsh9987 "I don't read so good"
@@turbo8628 Try; I believe in you.
@@rosaiglarsh9987 I take my hat off to you - I have an idea of Tommy's reply but I don't recall enough for another quote. I feel like a Dumas!
Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption is worth a read. It's one of Stephen King's best short stories. And Morgan Freeman is so good and that baritone voice is so soothing, you almost forget that Red killed his wife on purpose for the insurance money.
Different Seasons is (IMO) King's best. Also has "The Body" (Stand by Me), "Apt Pupil", and "The Breathing Method".
I didn't even know this was a Stephen King story. That guy is truly gifted, for real. I thought this and the Green Mile were two of the best films I ever saw, go figure they were both written by the same guy, without even ripping each other off.
The movie was originally gonna have Rita Hayworth in it but they feared people would think it was a biopic of Rita Hayworth
This movie is a perfect example of how talented a writer Stephen King is. His real gems are the many short stories he wrote that are far different than the "horror" genre he is known for.
This movie is a piece of art. Truly one of the best movies ever made
Explains why it’s #1 on IMDb’s top 100.
Overrated movie..
You said it best
It’s great but come on.... there’s so many other great movies that aren’t even in the top 100 on IMDb’s top rated movies that are way better than Shawshank Redemption!
@@aaronshouting588 "there’s so many other great movies that aren’t even in the top 100 on IMDb’s top rated movies that are way better than Shawshank Redemption! " And yet you offer none. Fun fact: you are wrong.
Best scenes - Beer scene, Mozart and ending with Red and Andy at Zihuatanejo. Beautiful movie and music by Thomas Newman.
The how can you be so obtuse scene is up there for me
I’m not supposed to be heah!!!
I think we’re long overdue for a Cool Runnings honest trailer.
Ya’mon!
Morgan Freeman's voice turns microphones into bars of gold.
I understood that reference!
Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman
@@Tfaonc So, so true.
“I Have To Remind Myself That Some Birds Aren’t Meant To Be Caged." it had so many great lines
"Their feathers are just too bright." 😭❤
I guess I just miss my friend
To be fair I don't think any bird is *meant* to be caged. I think it's more that some can't be contained by a cage.
My favorite is "Get busy living or get busy dying"-morgen freemen
@@Simbabweman though in the movie there are birds who "rather be caged". Brooks, who live his life inside prison that he can't survive outside world, and his pet crow, who also can't survive the outside world after Brooks set it free (they found it dead when they're working the field)
I wish I could just see this movie again without knowing what happens
Watched it for the first time 2 weeks ago. I loved it.
What I did was show it to my friends and look at their reaction. They thanked me for showing it to them. That's how good this movie is
I made my bf watch it for the first time, and he has such expressive reactions to movies in general. It was like seeing the movie again for the first time.
I still cry every time they meet each other at the end
Dude same!
“Brooks & Done” - SAVAGE!! 😂😂
I’ve seen this movie a thousand times, I’m practically legally obligated to sit down and watch it every time someone speaks its title, but I never made the “shitty pipe dream” connection until now.
My grandmother loves this movie. She can quote it by heart.
It's a classic!
And I love your grandmother, she´s got the best of tastes!
lucky you! (to have such a great grandma)
...I'm 37 - but I'd still like to date your nana. 😎😅
Bet she still gets your name confused with her other grandkids.
1:16: "Wait, how is that different than now?" Well, ah, the fashions are different?
"Ahhh, white. I mean...right!"
I love how they really didn't have anything actually bad to saw about it. This movie is on my top 5 all times.
"Get busy living or get busy dying."
You damn right!
That's goddamn right.
3:53 "he never shows any sadness about his wife's death?" What about the time he tells red about this place "Zuatinaho"? He shares a memory of his wife with red and tells him how he feels he lead her the path she did. To which red brilliantly replies, "you're not a murderer. A bad husband maybe but u did not pull the trigger."
I never even noticed the "shitty pipe dream" foreshadowing until now.
"Brooks was here" Man that still hurts 🥺
> "How is that different from now?" The hats are different.
Oh white, I mean right
Then: Mostly whites. Now: Mostly....
Only Morgan Freeman's voice can calm anyone.
BOB ROSS
Fred Rogers
Well, it is the voice of God...
He has one of the best voices ever recognized
@@ltmundy1164 literally
I loved this movie. Amazingly made and acted, awe inspiring and heart wrenching. The Green Mile and this movie stands tall next to each other.
And put your hand on that wall.. My favorite scene from Starship troopers.
I hope to one day see the Honest Trailer for Marvel's Daredevil.
Didn't they do that one?
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu They did the 2003 movie but not the Marvel Netflix Show.
@@shadowX2121 which one did she want? I think they did a group trailer for all the Netflix marvel shows but I could be wrong
yeah they never done the netflix show, i used to comment that but got no upvote lol
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu they did a *long* trailer on the mcu, but they ran out of time to cover the tv shows. I remember the agents of shield one though
Please do an Honest Trailer for The Green Mile.
So that they have second chance to forget to mention, that it's a Stephen King adaption? ^^
@@mori1bund And followed up by Stand by me
@@thichinhphan4010 And then Apt Pupil
You must do an Honest trailer for Evolution. The longest shampoo ad ever made!
Exactly!!!!!!
It's hard to make jokes about such a perfect film, but you guys sure did. Really funny.
Honest Trailer for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Almost Famous, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Office (US).
Yessss
hes going to make an "ambitious crossover" joke on roger rabbit
Wait they haven’t done one for the office? Unbelievable
The godfather?
@@god1356 they said they weren't gonna do godfather because its a masterpiece and they prefer doing bad movies or movies that have things they can make fun of
This could have just been “let’s be honest, this is the best movie of all time” and I would have been fine with it.
It’s nowhere near the best movie of all time.
@@Lerppunen subjective opinion, isn't it?
One said it's the best, other said it's not. Case closed.
@@moitbeans Opinions are by definition subjective.
Let's just all agree this is one of the best films of all time, let alone one of the best movie adaptations of good/great books.
“Brooks & Done” 💀 that made me laugh harder than it should’ve.
this is the best youtube channel to vilifying every movie, even the best one.
Honest Trailer: Get busy editing or get busy dying
You God damn right
Dislikes?.. How can you be so obtuse
LMAO 🤣
Instant mental image of Peter Griffin doing an obtuse angle!
@@RichO1701e No, that's Carter.
I wonder if it was..... deliberate)
Solitary a month!
"After the covid restrictions get lifted" Now that's funny
Never gonna happen.
you dont say
You can throw shade, but this is pretty much a perfect movie
1994 was the year of great movies. Shawshank , Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump.....
Toy Story too, I think. I saw them all at the cinema
@@jumhed994 Toy Story was '95.
Lion King
Please say: the worst thing about prison was the dementors
prison mike
I have a shirt that says this and I love it 😂
Tank you, Deus X. Tanks!
Do you mean tormentors? Dementor: a species of cockroach wasp native to Thailand
@@livinginvancouverbc2247 actually, they did mean dementors. The sentence above is a quote from “The Office,” where one of the characters was referencing the beings called “dementors” from Harry Potter.
Thank you Honest Trailers for the laughs! A nice start to 2021!
"When Morgan Freeman was old enough to play a grandfather but young enough to date a granddaughter" Eeeeek! My mind had blocked that out for all these years.....
Fantastic movie. Glad to see it exposed to a big audience again: those of you who go check it out for the first time are in for a treat.
I actually saw in in theatres for the original release...by accident. And I was the only one in the room. Still one of the best theatre experiences I ever had.
I love this movie
@@swanpride I thought I was gonna have the same experience for Halloween '78 year b4 last. When the others learned they weren't alone. Well, I'm sure you can imagine.
If the kid who's grammar Andy corrects is to be believed, Andy didn't kill his wife. And considering the warden and his main guard essentially murdered the kid to keep it under wraps, I'm willing to believe it's true.
Whose*
@@FutureDeep , that made me laugh. Thanks!
@@OneLeatherBoot same lol
That taypo made this comment way more hilarious lol
@@Magixxar *typo
“Put your hand on that wall”. I understood that reference 😂
Beer scene, all time favorite. This movie gives people hopes wherever they are.
For real one of the greatest movies ever, I’ve seen it a dozen times and every time I’m browsing channels and it’s on I watch it no questions asked
"Brookes and Done" damn, that was fucking dark. This honest trailer was hilarious guys, one of your best in recent times!
Could you explain it please
@@freesxsoccer seconded
@@freesxsoccer There's a country band called Brooks & Dunn. The characters name was Brooks and he killed himself.
@@freesxsoccer the best country band ever. Listen to Red Dirt Road or Hillbilly Deluxe. Loved the joke.
@@taylormerrick1409 woah....damn. Thanks
When Morgan freeman was old enough to play a grandfather.... I died
😂😂😂😂
You finally did it!!!
“Brooks and Done” got me.
"When Morgan Freeman was old enough to play a grandfather, but young enough to date a granddaughter," got me, because there was a rumor that he had a sexual relationship with his step-granddaughter.
My coworker told me a story once about how our manager walked in on a conversation about The Shawshank Redemption and our manager said, "Oh yeah, Shawshank Redemption. That movie where they go down to Mexico and fix boats."
ha - my brother-in-law also has a talent of only describing movies by their spoiler endings
technically correct, the best kind of correct
It was initially called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption
Yay! You did my favorite movie! A nice start to the new year!! :)
“Cos shitty pipe dreams do come true” 😂 lol I died
"because shitty pipe dreams do come true" is, imho, the best joke in the history of this channel. I had to pause because I was laughing so hard
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN HONEST TRAILER!!! I wont rest untul I get it!!!!!
"Brooks & Done" Fucking brilliant!
"Brooks and done" I can't! It's too much!
I can’t think about brooks without fucking bawling
I laughed so loud with “brooks and done”
I just commented that it's my favorite HT name!
Me too but forced myself to stop out of respect and love for Brooks. R.I.P.
👍
"Suck it Rifftrax! This has a higher rating than Casablanca AND It's A Wonderful Life!" Damn, if only they made that joke!
It's crazy: I thought of an honest trailer about this film just the day before you uploaded the video! :-D
Please say "Everybody tells me to say random things but nobody asks me how am I doing"
how I am doing **
SAY: "The record shows. I took the blows. And did it my way."
"Brooks & Done" and I'm crying all over again.
Brooks and done... OMG that caught me off guard 😂
Brooks and done the darkest joke honest trailers has ever made (it was pretty funny though)
LMFAO! At the end: "DC movie fan". Funniest sentence I've heard all week
Brooks and Done. I FREAKING LOST IT LMAO!!!!
One of my favorite movies, wish it had more of an audience during it's first release, definitely an underrated film.
"Officer, that kindly old man tried to give me a rock hammer. I think he's gang affiliated! You gotta get me outa here 😭😭😭!" I laughed for a good minute 😂.
"Brooks and Done." I nearly fell out of my chair on that on.
"Brooks and Done" and I'M done. 🤣😂🤣
Best movie ever. Nothing wrong with this.
revenge of the sith is the best movie of all time and everyone knows it
@@davinci3478 nah it’s not the best. Better than Shawshank no doubt. But not the best.
@@MrGenexxx You're right, Rise of the Skywalker is the best.
How dare you, the Room is the greatest movie of all time
@@scheve332 now you just trolling. I was actually speaking facts.
I was expecting a joke about how the actor who played Byron Hadley also voices Mr. Krabs on Spongebob. It blew my mind when I found that out.
He's also one of the greatest movie villains, The Kurgan in the movie Highlander.
Yeah it's crazy when you realize how many characters in movies and stuff are actually Mr krabs
And he was the big red dude in last season of The Mandalorian.
And lex Luthor in DC animated shows, games and movies
also Luthor in the DCAU
Geez. Took ya guys long enough to do this trailer. Love this movie!! A true masterpiece!
Sounds like southern's wrestler finisher move 😂😂😂😂
Brooks and done... I laughed harder than I should have.
Same
Say in honor of George Gerdes, say "This race, boy this is the meanest stretch of land God ever put together."
You must say, “the pellet with the poison is in the flagon with the dragon. The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.”
How now, brown cow?
"Brooks & Done" - omg..... wow.... savage.... lmao
Say "nah hah ha na naH Na NAh HA NA NAH HAHA NA HAH HA!" In a Nick Cage voice that slowly crescendos in volume and intensity.
Honest Trailers: The Sandlot.
Red: What's your favourite toy Andy ? Andy: Rock Hammer
“Morgan not freeman” This channel is a goldmine
WTH are you going on about? Andy clearly expresses his remorse at neglecting his wife for his career in one scene with Red
SUPERNATURAL! SUPERNATURAL! SUPERNATURAL!
