Yep, another characterization that was sublime. Extremely dangerous person ingratiatingly appealing. He's a fine actor.

He's great. Didn't know who he was at the time and then realized that's who he was after seeing later movies then Green Mile Again. Some under the radar ones that were damn good...Moon and The Way Way Back.

& he was excellent in "Joshua." An underrated (horror) movie that was panned by critics. It was an important production that lost a ton of money. It's fine though and he is extraordinary in it. Deals with a young boy (the son) who is demented.

Shown very rarely.

Yep. It's a commitment. Go to the shelf, locate it, open the case, open the DVD player, take out the one that's in there, load the one in your hand, close the tray, find the DVD remote, change the batteries, on & on. So, "you" sit thru the cut one on the TV 30 times a year. And we're happy.

You get to see the warden do his thing, Hanley playing that part where it makes you proud to behold. I read where that actor eschewed all offers by law enforcement/prison guards help in preparing himself. He wanted to strike a character all it's own, a pure specimen. He was magnificent. To watch him for over 2 hours is reward enough.

Hanley had good practice playing Viking in the Sean Penn early movie. Again, he was about perfect for that also. Every actor in Shawshank gives you something you can bite on.

I haven't seen the whole thing. Was channel surfing and caught Vera Farmiga so stayed until the end.

Yep, every character is shown face first, full body camera angle. Nobody is short changed. So, you feel engaged with each. The guards that come into the library for their tax preparation, the contractor who begs the Warden to layoff the next biding, the young kid who processes Red's orders thru the prison delivery system, on & on. Years later they remain in your mind's eye.

Sobering for certain.

And she was unrecognizable for me.

The park scene is harrowing. The camera angles are shot from low levels and give a fearful sense to it. The cops coming in at the end legitimize the scene, seal it. The father is in big, big trouble.

Yeah...every scene has a beginning and end. It's why it holds up so well on TV. You can watch 10 minutes and get resolution. Then get sucked in for 1 more. Same with Green Mile for that matter but that was more obvious with the release of the stories one by one.

Thinking about it...Stand By Me did the same thing.

I'll have to watch from the beginning. It seemed scattered from where I picked it up.

Yep, the viewer feels good, considered, substantiated, vested, entrusted. And so we're rewarded on our level.

Yep, definitely needs to be seen from the go. It builds nicely as these types of plots usually do. It seems as if there was a "feud" of some type with this production. A lot of bad feelings because of the loss of money over it so it was kind of suppressed at release. Something was up.

The Good, Bad, and the Ugly. Some channel just ran this over the weekend. I didn't stay with it the whole time but great movie.
