who else cried when brooke hanged himself?

I have never seen the film,but I doubt if I would cry,If the guy went to parks and fed the birds he would have been cool with me,thats for sdure,I feed the birds to,someone has to.Birds are great,we have attracted many different types of birds to our garden over the years,our garden must be like an oasis to these wonderful creatures

I love the Shawshank Redemshion, and it is my favorite movie besides The Lord of the Rings.
I throughouly enjoy it.
I do think it is quite tragic when Brooke hangs himself.
I understand how he felt though.
He was lonely, and scared of how the world had changed when he was gone those 50 years.

i cried at numerous places during the film. poor brooke. even my hubby shed a tear. he has loved it together with green mile. for someone who just watched steven seagal and sylvester stalone movies, he rates shawshank as excelent.

Hello, mrstarb

Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies, as was the short story when I read it long before it was made into a film, but the death of Brooke, while sad, did not cause me to tear up. You are correct that there are millions of Brookes hanging out all around us every day, and that does make me tear up, but the loss of the Brookes character didn't bother me so much for some reason. Other parts of the film did illicit tears from me.
