    Bruce Willis performed a good deed for all of us when he recommended Michael Clarke Duncan for this after working with him in Armageddon. Mr. Duncan was also memorable in Daredevil, The Island, and The Whole Nine Yards.

    You are one of the few film reaction viewers who is in tune with the socio-cultural issues of the depression Era and how the prison and justice system treated the poor and underprivileged. Your analysis is on point. Stephen King purposely wrote these issues in his novel. It showed the humanity of the guards. Eduard Delacroix was remorseful of his crimes and told the guards he wished he had met them under different circumstances as his life could have taken a different course. I read the novel before the film was released so I was able to appreciate the behaviors of each character. Great job on your reaction to this film.

      Thank you!! I’m so glad you liked the reaction! I did not read the book but I did feel like the film was really well done and showed a pretty real representation of corrections and society during that era! I appreciate you taking note of my analysis, I definitely try to be in-tune with, and submerse myself in the eras that these films are set in!

      Well said. Stephen King grew up in a rural town in Montana, I believe, and he said he saw a lot of corruption and racism at play. Men who hid behind a religious guise yet displayed authoritarian behaviour. That's why The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption feel so real, because the characters in the book are so believable and the settings and the story. Stephen has always been someone against these types of characters and he reflects on them very well in his books...

    I had forgotten about a bit of squeaky shoe trivia I had read years ago until you mentioned it!!
    According to director Frank Darabont, Doug Hutchison (Percy) was given the squeakiest shoes he had ever heard. He thought this was the greatest bit of fate, and a "perfectly wonderful, annoying character trait" that he kept it in the movie. Viewers can hear sometimes how loud his shoes are.

GREAT REACTION and GREAT editing job, you kept in the most important parts. I LOVE this movie, makes me cry every time. I wish Michael Clarke Duncan was still with us.

      I think Paul would probably have been willing to lose his job and do jail time; the problem is that John Coffey does not have the mentality for stealth, to know how to keep hidden; and he stands out, because of his size he is easily recognizable. He would almost certainly have been recaptured again within a matter of days- if not hours! - and the sacrifice would be all for nothing.

Even if they had hard evidence that John was innocent, when a Black man was convicted in that place at that time, he stayed convicted. Another horrifying thing to consider is that had Paul insisted on John trying to escape, John would have likely been lynched within a few days, along with heaven knows how many other larger-than-average Black men across the South. 😡

    This isn't canon, its just an estimate.
    The average mouse lives approximately 4 years. If Mr. Jingles was born in 1933, he's lived roughly 16 1/2 lifetimes.
    If the same is true for Paul, he has at least 1502 years remaining.

    13:06 In the book, "Paul" (aka Stephen King) speculated that Percy Wetmore was being kind to Del, in a way that was related to how Del was being kind to the mouse: He viewed him as a pet. He was going to be out front for Del's execution, so he literally had power of life & death over him, and so he was relishing the wait, in a strange way, by giving Del things he would like -- knowing how he (Percy) would be the final end of it.

    As far as calling out 'dead man walking', that's an older practice that was common at one time. It was usually done when walking a condemned man through a prison yard so other inmates knew to stand clear for security reasons. Percy is a very sadistic character; in the book Stephen King gives more insight into his dark thoughts which if he acted on would land him on death row as well. As for Paul not wanting to go to the doctor, it's because at that time the only treatment they had was sulfa tablets, which often caused uncontrollably vomiting.

    Percy violated one Green MIle rule TWICE (I'm sure there were many others he forgot to adhere to): he walked too close to the cell fronts -- once when Wild Bill grabbed him (then wet himself) and at the end when Percy was "straightening up" after the straitjacket was taken off. As far as John Coffey being an "imbecile," he was far from that, evinced by his actions immediately after returning from healing Melinda. John's most poignant line? To me it's when he's being prepped in the e-chair: "I'm sorry for what I am."

      In the 1930s, you could still get a degree in prison. Unless you had a life sentence or were on death row, rehabilitation was part of the prison system in the US.

There are so many great movies out there and I'd like to see your reaction to them. A movie I recently watched, that has now become one of my favorite movies of all time is Jojo Rabbit. It's a comedy, the story of a 10 year old kid in Nazi Germany near the end of WWII. Jojo is in the Hitler Youth and his imaginary friend is Adolf Hitler. When Jojo discovers his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in the house he develops a relationship with her and his relationship with his imaginary friend falls apart. It is such a funny, funny movie with some sad parts in it. I believe you would love that movie. Please check it out. Keep up the great reactions.

    The *Squeak squeak* of Percy's shoe ended me 🤣His squeaky steps annoyed the everliving daylights out of me from the very first time I watched the movie and the sound drives me crazy each and every time I hear it, so bless you for making me laugh at it! Percy is so obnoxious that even his shoes are annoying... (Which, I've read, was a conscious choice by the costume department)

    You said he needed to go to the doctor, but in 1935 there wasn't much the doctor could do. They mention Sulfa which was an early antibiotic but it actually first came out in 1935 (when the movie is set) and had lots of side effects (they mention the vomiting). The book is actually set in 1932 so even that wasn't an option. Lots of reactors mention cranberry juice, but good luck getting that in the deep south in the middle of the depression.

    1. YOU WILL CRY
    2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production so his part was done later. He also played
    Reverend Alden in Little House on the Prairie"
    3. Hammersmith/Lt. Dan/Gary Sinise was not a good lawyer. Most likely racial, it was 1935.
    4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row.
    5. This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Cast but unfortunately neither won.
    6. Players in other King adaptations: Jeffery DeMunn: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist,
    Storm of the Century and William Sadler: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist. David Morse:
    The Langoliers.
    7. Goof: Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream.
    8. IRL James Cromwell is a vegan and didn't want to grill meat for the BBQ scene but
    was told that in 1935 people actually ate meat so he agreed to have some on the grill.
    9. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. That said, You must give props to Doug Hutchison because everybody hates him.
    10. A little fun fact: Toot Toot the trustee is played by Harry Dean Stanton.(RIP) The other guards' names are Harry Terwilliger/Jeffery DeMunn
    and Dean Stanton/Barry Pepper.
    11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan (RIP). They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography to make John taller.
    12. The scene before Del is executed and gives Mr Jingles to John they used a real mouse and it pooped on Paul's shoulder
    and Hanks wipes it off before the the walk to the chair.
    13. Now we know what the "day old is fine" dry toast is for.
    14 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced
    the GREATEST MOVIE EVER.

    I know the electric chair looks barbaric but I’d take Ol Sparky over lethal injection if I was on death row. The brain (and pain receptors) dies first in the chair; the brain dies last with lethal injection so you feel the paralysis and suffocation. It’s why Del’s execution is so horrific. Del felt all of that. He would have had his pain receptors “zapped” and felt nothing if the sponge was wet.
    [im not discussing the death penalty and it’s existence in the judicial system. I’m talking about my hypothetical choice in my hypothetical execution]
    Great reaction! 👍

  • @51tetra69

    Tara, John Coffey is a Christ figure. He appeared out of nowhere, as if he had just “fallen out of the sky.” He had foreknowledge of future events. He can see the good or evil that is in men’s hearts. He can heal illness and afflictions and resurrect the dead (if it’s not too late). He is innocent, with a pure soul, yet he is made to suffer and die because of the sins and wickedness of others. And even his initials are J.C., just like Jesus. (Note the scene when John is watching his first ever “flicker show” and the light from the movie projector is shining from behind, illuminating his head just like a halo - the Christian symbolism is unmistakable.)

    In America it wasn’t until the 1970’s that women had any
    Rights to their own medical decisions. Until then, a woman’s husband, or father, or male guardian could make all decisions concerning her medical care, whether or not she agreed, and the men were told first about whatever was wrong: That’s why the Warden was saying he couldn’t figure out how to tell his wife she was going to die.

    Seeing a doctor wouldn't have helped much. This was before antibiotics were common. The doctor would have tried sulfa drugs and told Paul to keep hydrated. Infection often meant death or amputation back them. More men died on the battlefield from infection than bullets.
