Brooks hanging himself. The realization that life has passed you by, and you lose all respect for yourself. I get the feeling quite often.

I actually felt bad about the crying prisoner who got beaten by Hadley. I mean yeah, he was sort of patheticbut when it shows Red just staring at him belowthat's hard stuff. It was a look that screamed: "DamnI've been there before too."
However, for REAL emotional sadness look below:
Other than Tommy's demise, I felt devastated when Andy got thrown into the hole after realizing who his wife's murderer really was. He never visibly broke down in any other part of the movie until then. Adding salt to the wound is when Norton threatens Andy's contributions and physical safety when he tries to leave. Just damn.

same and how bad he was treated while he was free
i've got feelings too, ya know - inbetweeners

When the rock n roller was murdered.

• Brooks saying goodbye to Jake, and the scenes leading up to his death
• Red saying "I miss my friend", after Andy's escape
• The ending, with Andy and Red are reunited

Tommy's death. A young guy, his term was only what? Two years, much of which he'd already served, and all he did was tell the (inconvenient to Norton) truth. Andy had also helped him with his education. He could've made something more of himself on the outside with that

I felt bad for Tommy.
He had just got his diploma, he had a wife and kid waiting, and it seems like Andy had managed to reform Tommy's way of life.
Then you get shot and killed and nobody will ever know that you were on the brink of redemption, everyone will just remember that you were a serial thief and that you died trying to break out of prison.

there are many scenes which are saddest.for me the brooks scene and the final dialogue which red gives when he was interrogated for approval of discharge from shawshank .

In many cases, but I think it was less selfish in this one because the only people left to care about him were still in the prison and likely would not see him again before he died of natural causes. It would appear not only did he "feel alone and unloved" as many who commit suicide do, but he actually "was alone."

This message has been deleted.

Also, in that later scene where Andy got beaten, he said "Let's get this over with" and turned around. Like it was a common occurence for them.
Of course, he said it just to lure the guy closer to him, but the way he said it implied it wasn't the first time.

The first time, they are clearly seen trying to rape him. Later on they attempt to rape him again, so it is likely they would've raped him more times that were not shown.
"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

You may need to rewatch the film. Morgan Freeman's voice over NEVER said that once He did say "I wish I could tell you Andy fought the good fight" implying the beating they gave him then. All they did in that scene too was kick his ass. Then they came at him again later in the movie, and almost killed him.

Migarzolom, for a moment there I thought I imagined the whole scene all together. The sistersere infamously known for sexually assaulting men; why would they just physically assault Andy and not rape him when he's most vulnerable?

The voiceover said straight up that he was raped the first time he was sent to the backroom during his laundry shifts. This was way before the scene where they beat him within an inch of his life. They clarify in that scene he was not raped at that time, however it was a common occurrence in his first 2 years in the prison.

The voiceover never implied that. They just beat him within an inch of his life.

Didn't he get gang raped by The Sisters. Red, during the voiceover implied this.

Andy never got raped.
Saddest part for me was when the kid was lured outside and shot. He was just a young guy. Although Brooks was sad, he was old and at the end of his life anyway.

I agree with when Brooks hung himself.
Also, the ending in which Red and Andy reunites.
When Andy gets raped.

Brooks saying goodbye to Jake. That was a sad moment. Such a wonderful film.
"The end of the shoelace is called theIT DOESN'T MATTER!"

My sentiments exactly.

Definitely the "Brooks was here" scene.

Brooks's remaining scenes up till he hung himself. Just the thought of him in his twilight years with no one left in the world except the ones he left back in prison and that pathetic bagging job made me wail like I was at a funeral. Haven't cried like that for a movie in a long long time.

Good point. Tommy's demise was awful and uncalled for. Brooks got the sad narration when he decided to check out (and rightly so) but poor Tommy didn't know what hit him.
