Hoenest on Instagram: "🎬 Fact: In The Shawshank Redemption (1994), the iconic final scene on the beach was filmed before many of the prison scenes. Director Frank Darabont wanted to lock in the hopeful ending early so the actors could carry that emotional destination through the darker moments. Tim Robbins later said knowing Andy’s fate from the start helped him play the character with quiet, restrained optimism even in the bleakest scenes."

CLIPS on Instagram: "😂 Interesting fact: In The Shawshank Redemption (1994), the famous scene where Andy escapes through the sewage pipe was shot with a combination of a real tunnel and a water tank. Tim Robbins stayed in the tank for hours, fully submerged, to make the escape look authentic, adding to the intensity and realism of the iconic moment."
