In the long list of actors who were robbed of an Oscar, I’ve always put Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey near the top, absolutely astounding performance.
You're 100% right. It is an understated performance that bursts with emotion. It's a travesty that he never won for this one, and it's soured me on the Oscars since
He was so good
RIP 🖤
A stunning performance. May God rest him in peace.
Yes
“Mostly, I’m tired of people being ugly to each other” one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful lines ever.
I know and its the same the world over. Its beautiful bc its true
Bring it up.
Its sad because its true.
Instant tears on that part
It is heartbreaking because we feel how heartbroken JC is as he is saddened by how much cruelty and evil there was around him.
"The film ruins you to make you a better person.". 100 percent true.
I watched this movie for the first time on a transatlantic flight. I cried so hard the flight attendant was genuinely concerned for my well being. I was embarrassed when I said “I’m just watching Green Mile for the first time” 🥺
I remember watching this in the cinema and when the execution without the sponge happened and the guy bursts into flames, I was pissing myself laughing I literally had tears running down my face 🤣 I got some dirty looks but you know that's life I guess 🤷♂️
@@BunkerWise215 ... The hell is wrong with You, son?
I saw it on vhs and dels exicution is more graphic.
@@robertonoriega4579 He’s a bad man
@@mugatu171717 I'm an omega male ATM but thanks I'm getting there. But you shouldn't want to be like someone else
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. He was such an amazing actor and perfectly cast for this role.
He in hebben now.
@@chrissibersky4617Awww cuckservative thought he said something funny just like his criminal president 😂
Hannah: predicts entire movie correctly
Ash: tries and fails miserably
that's how it always is lol
Lol he’s always so off
@@dopesoul7179 I don't know how she puts up with him.
@@cliffwheeler7357 because she loves him?
@cliffwheeler7357 I feel you. If you watch their newer videos you can tell she gets fed up with him. She'll leave him eventually. Bloke is annoying and obnoxious, but he thinks he's being cute nd funny 😅 there's a difference
There is zero shame in crying at this film. Zero. It’s beautiful, and damn near perfect.
I have to agree. It breaks your heart and tosses the pieces to the wind.
His very last words, "We all walk our own Green Mile and sometimes the Green Mile seems so long." 🥺 Awesome movie.
The last few words of this movie always give me chills, no matter how many times I see it. Both that part, and "...If he can make a mouse live for so long, then how much longer must I have?" It's just done so well, especially as the camera begins to fade out, and the scene zooms in on the mouse sleeping in his antique cigar box. Still alive, and still breathing
@@dambugsyes, they didn’t show that part!
to be fair, they did kill an angel...
I thought he was the second coming cause of his initials @@StriderAngel496
Hannah has such a pure heart. I can tell just with this reaction she really cares about people. Wonderful reaction, you guys are great!
Hannah is probably the single most emotionally intelligent reactors I have ever seen. I have never seen anyone pick up on the mentality of the characters more quickly than her.
Hannah is a beautiful soul. Empathetic and genuine. Ash can be vulgar and even tho he recognizes that Percy is the only bad guard. Ash keeps questioning why the guards with integrity aren't beating the sh!t out of ppl. I don't like that
honestly hannah is the only reason why i watch his videos. she's so smart
@@christopherlively8477 but her insulting his opinions is not an issue?
@@ReeN1995she mostly insults his opinions when he says something offensive or just plain dumb.
When Tom Hanks says that line “When I stand before the Lord, what will I say when he asks me ‘Why did you kill one of my true miracles?’” It’s so heartbreaking
When he said “may God have mercy on your soul”… Tom Hanks delivers it masterfully… even I think, he was telling it to himself, as if Paul Edgecomb would be begging for mercy … Tom Hanks is way too good
"I was mercifully ending a horribly tortured soul you decided to put on earth"? Still heartbreaking though
I read the book long before the movie came out. But every time I see the movie, I end up crying. It's just so damn well done! One of the best Steven King adaptations!
I ball everytime as well.
Same here, it’s a case where I actually like the movie more than the book
I worked for a shipping company that handled one of the publishers distributions when then serialized short books came out a box broke on a conveyor, everyone in the warehouse read the series. It was fantastic, the movie was really something special.
Sincerely I think this may have been your best movie reaction ever. Heartfelt, emotional, the tears flowed and with understandably good reason. Believe me when I tell you, your genuine reactions to this masterpiece of a film had me crying right there with you. Much love to Ash and Hannah. And to all your other viewers. Be kind to one another, tomorrow is promised to no one.
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan 🙏🏼
What a beautiful comment mate! Honour to have witnessed this movie with you ❤️
Watching reactors cry during a film that evokes every tear from your tear ducts, makes me cry once again. Darn it! A raw and touching reaction from you both 👌
Appreciate you my brother, thank you for watching along with us ❤️
@@justtrustash FYI wild bill was played by sam rockwell
@@cameronliddell9533 Sam Rockwell rocks!! In every role.
The guy that played Percy was masterful. He made you hate to see him in any scene. Good acting/writing invokes emotions, Percy did that right from his first scene. Wild Bill did that too. The other actors were also amazing but they used multiple scenes for you to like them and get to know them.
The casting director was a genius at being able to pick out a creep
I think liking a character is always harder to do then hate someone tho, you can easily see when someone is unlikable but you had to see a few scenes of Percy to hate him just like you have to see the others to love em.
@@AL-fl4jknot only that but the dude was a creep in real life, he MARRIED an underage girl…
Dude. I like you. But you HAVE to have this lady in EVERY reaction video you do! She’s a proper English lass and she ADDS to all the drama in these videos. She’s a priceless addition and that’s even acknowledging you’re pretty darn accomplished at this. Love this girl!
You made fun of her crying in the beginning trying to be cool you failed. M'lady start your own channel and I may find you. You knew from the beginning where it was going
@@stevehorn4680 She does have a channel here it is:th-cam.com/channels/BLHpMaSphW20P4TjtHdpFg.html
What in the basement dwellers is going on here, Jeeesus Christ.
Good couple, they're great it's true, but no love for my man, and these thirsty ass white knight remarks...😂🤢
@@stevehorn4680 www.youtube.com/@donttrusthannah
@@stevehorn4680 Honestly, I was not impressed with Ash making fun of a man with a phobia. Everyone has their weaknesses, and it's really not cool to make light of it.
Kudos to Hannah!!! She really had this movie figured out from the start. Ash: "He's Jesus". Why do you think John's initials are "JC"? It's hard to explain but this really is one of my favorite movies of all time. So emotional and great acting all around.
damn I never connected John Coffey " JC" to Jesus Chris. Thanks for opening my eyes.
@@Gandorhar -- It's actually John Coffey, like the drink, but not spelled the same.
There are a few hints scattered around in the movie... John Coffey's attorney says it's like John "just dropped out of the sky" from nowhere, he describes the dancers in the movie as "angels" and sings the song "I'm in heaven" just as he is about to be executed and so forth
YES!
For me, hannah deserves an oscar for her humanism. Thank you girl.
The Green Mile is an actual masterpiece. SO glad this won the poll!
Watching the both of you feel so much emotion made me cry along with you. Thank you for keeping it so real and allowing us all to see your hearts.
Aww mate, thank you so much for the kind words ❤️
@@justtrustash Dragonheart „ to the stars Bowen to the stars“ ❤
Ash to Hannah: why you crying?!
end of movie also Ash: uncontrollable sobbing.
Love you guys keep it up!
Year-old video... 5-month-old comment... it's so great to see people are still discovering this reaction.
This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful reaction I've ever seen, ever, and my favorite of Ash's for sure... I've seen every single one of his videos (I return to this one every so often).
@@sathvamp1literally same, plus i just love this movie, don’t care if i have 7 cry seshes a day watching reactions
@@KrisFlicks This may sound strange but I envy that-- I only first realized (firsthand) that endorphins can get released along with crying when I saw "Inside Out" for the first time... at age 30. That movie basically turned me into a tearjerker seeker. The ironic thing was... I found out it was really hard to find movies that triggered really good cry sessions from me (I really noticed that when I started looking for tearjerkers on PURPOSE lol). A few years after "Inside Out", I stumbled upon "Interstellar", which definitely worked, then "My Girl," and there are two even more recent ones that triggered the most intensely tearful reactions from me: "The Land Before Time" and (7 months after that one) "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Interestingly, for that last one, I did virtually all my crying AFTER the movie ended (I guess the wheels in my head had some room to start turning then (?))
@@sathvamp1shawshenk redemption has some very sadly Moments (Same Director Like Green Mile) and of course Schindlers List.
@@Morris1581 I've seen a lot of reactions to those... unfortunately BEFORE watching the full movies on my own, and it took me a while to figure out that seeing short clips tends to desensitize me in certain ways. Also, especially relevant to movies like Schindler's List, I have also discovered that if I feel anger or anxiety, that tends to inhibit tears for some reason. The MOST extreme example of that I've ever seen in myself is probably when I saw the Korean version of "Miracle in Cell No. 7." During THAT movie, it was as though the emotions of "Anger" and "Sadness" were fighting an epic fight in my head lol. Quite uncomfortable actually. I FINALLY shed some tears the next DAY when I was writing a TH-cam comment about how I would have felt better if the movie had portrayed ways of mitigating the anger-inducing parts.
On another note, I do have an interesting update: Until ONE particular movie... I had yet to cry to a RE-watch of ANYthing. But a couple of weeks ago, I discovered my FIRST "repeater tearjerker"... which (if you count watching reactions, reading or writing comments etc) got me a total of 11 TIMES. That is totally unheard of for me. For some reason or another, that movie happened to be "Nimona."
Hannah was on top of it and was totally instinctual with the story. Ash took this movie well, remaining stoic during some pretty heavy moments. But when the feels came, he felt it. Best Green Mile reaction I’ve seen.
Wow! What a beautiful compliment, thank you and honour to have watched this with you ❤️
@TLM Yeah, I gave up reading your ‘comment’ after the first paragraph. Never been a big fan of the novel you mentioned. I recommend The Dark Tower. A lot better morals in that story.
Ya, every time I see T L M in comments, I report their posts as spam.
Yes. Hannah was on top of it right from the start. Hannah you smart cookie you!
@Miles Doyle Sorry Miles, there is no Mouseville.
Michael Clarke Duncan was such a great actor. The guy was huge but he brought something unique to every character he played. It was never about his size but his incredible performance. He did so well here. RIP MCD
Larry moss trained Mike for this role. He’s a great trainer. Also Micheal was wearing stilts in the wide shots only of like 8 inches like platform shoes to give the enormous size. He was a big big dude none the less and think lost out on the Oscar to Micheal Caine that year
The wet sponge is extremely important. Soaking the scalp with brine water (water containing salt) conducts electricity more efficiently than just placing the skull cap of the electric chair on the flesh covering the scalp itself. Making the death quicker and, in theory, less painful. But it can’t be purified water, it HAS to be salt water. And the salt MUST be dissolved. Purified water containing no salt is actually an insulator, not a conductor.
Fun fact: Most fresh water actually contains salt and other minerals naturally, but sometimes it’s only in small amounts. So they would dissolve extra salt into the water they used to soak the sponge just to ensure there was as little resistance as possible so that the electrical current fried the brain faster. Also, pool water is actually a very good conductor because the chlorine used to treat it contains chlorine ions that conduct electricity very efficiently. Which is why most public pools enforce strict storm safety precautions and make everyone leave the water if there is a storm approaching because lightning can strike even miles away from the storm center.
I probably sound like a huge nerd…But oh well 🤷🏻♀️😂😂😂
I love it when people share their knowledge in youtube comments 😂👍 Keeping being a nerd, you guys make us smarter! Lol
Yes. Absolutely pure water will NOT conduct electricity. However, I wouldn't run out and try to test this unless you have access to a chemistry lab or something. Making, storing, and keeping water 100% pure isn't as easy as it may seem.
Hannah, you're such a pure, kind soul. Ash is beyond lucky to have you. Ash, even if you try to hide it, you're a softy too. It's always a pleasure watching your reactions.
Facts!!! One lucky guy 👌🏾❤️
@@justtrustash long live the king and queen uzzsa uzzsa 🎤💧😩❤️
The ‘janitor’ is actually an Orderly. He is also an inmate but just not a death row one. Orderlies are given small responsibilities like cleaning and such that they are trusted to take care of with minimal supervision. They are given more privileges such as freer movement around the prison especially as they do their duties and possibly better food and/or living quarters.
In some institutions they are called "Trustees" because they've demonstrated good behavior and are given special privileges over other inmates. Where I worked they were allowed to stay in the TV room for two hours after lights out so they could watch whatever they wanted and ate their meals in the kitchen and were allowed extra helpings if they wanted. Sometimes they were allowed to choose a meal from fast food as a reward.
This woman gets it. Your clairvoyance is astounding and sir please listen to your woman because she clearly knows what’s she’s talking about.
The way Percy spoiled mouseville to del was just pure evil. Then Del sobbing after Percy saying that just made me wanna knock out Percy.
So percy is evil for killing a mouse and torturing a child rapist and a child killer and yet you wanna knock percy out of everyone?! Ngl people downplaying the evil of brutally killing and raping children and hating a person for giving that said person what he deserves is more evil to me. I would go as far as to say percy was probably extra hateful of del for the fact that he himself was probably raped as a kid.
@@9529jakemaybe you right but Percy is a sadist. He did the same to John Coffee (dead men Walking..). He likes to torture people, killing animals. He ist sick too. If hes Not a Warden maybe He where a serial Killer or moloster too...
@@9529jake You don't understand the concept and the ideas the movie is pushing forth. Lmao. Maybe you're dumb or heartless. Or both.
@@9529jake Where did they that Del was a child rapist or that the person he killed was a child? I don't remember that part and I have seen this movie a few times. I've never read the book though but since they change things from book to film I don't think you can say he did exactly the same thing in the movie story as he did in the book story if that's where you got it.
Maybe it's fair to take it from the book if everything they showed in the movie about the character was exactly the same as it was described in the book but only if everything is exactly the same down to the last detail. But if anything is different then it's not exactly the same character.
@Juide80 in the book del raped and murdered a 16 year old girl and started a fire to cover it up. The fire killed 6 people (including 2 kids)
So yes del deserved the death penalty. However, percy gave him more than he deserved. It was unnecessary and cruel. And IF we do go by the book then percy was just a spoiled budding psychopath himself. He was never abused or raped as a kid. It is never stated or implied in the novella.
I think it's not about insinuating Del is innocent. I think it's more about showing you that even people who committed heinous crimes can be decent people otherwise. People deserving of respect. That shows far more humanity.
Also worth noting: Ash, you were wanting them to stop the electrocution, but that would have just meant Del was sitting there cooking alive. Keeping it on will kill him faster.
For context, Del was in for raping and murdering a girl, and several other murders he accidentally committed while trying to burn the body.
Bitterbuck was in for crushing another man’s skull with a cinderblock over a boot.
Respect to Hannah for recognizing this to be the best movie way before she saw the best part of it.
Having seen it (decades ago) for the first time in a theater was definitely hell of an experience. Have seen it a few times since.
God the mouse scene must've been so difficult in a theater, I can't imagine the audience reaction 😢
Hannah is so empathetic and catches so well the personnality of a character
I was already impressed when I watched LOTR and she guessed a lot a things
She’s the GOAT!! So glad you love her ❤️
@@justtrustash Hannah is indeed the GOAT! And you're the GOAT for 37:50! Haha!
My mother and I watched this together. We went into the movie blind with no expectations. By the end we were sobbing uncontrollably for a good half hour. One of the best stories and one of the best all around performances by the entire group of actors and actresses.
The fact that Michael Clark-Duncan never won an Oscar for this performance is one of the greatest travesties in cinema history.
@40:58
In the book, Eduard "Del" Delacroix was convicted of raping and killing a young girl. He then tried to cover up the murder by burning her body. When he burned her body, he set the fire near an apartment building, which also caught on fire, killing six more people, including two children.
Whoa!
I went into this reaction expecting Hannah to be destroyed. Was rather suprised by Ash also being equally destroyed. Highly endearing.
This is my brother's favorite movie ever and my second favorite. Immeasurably amazing.
Damn, Hannah thinking clear enough to actually call out that Percy was probably molested as a child after Wild Bill accosted him... Never even crossed my mind. That was truly a brilliant observation. This is absolutely the best reaction to this movie I have EVER seen.
yeah she went deep even for him
I say it's the best reaction to ANY film I've seen. PURE, GENUINE EMOTIONAL REACTION!
The book kinda just suggests that some people are just evil. And Percy is one of those people.
There was a bullying carer in the nursing home who reminded Paul (Hanks) of Percy.
That Said, I read this well over 20 years ago so happy to Be corrected by anyone who’s read it more recently.
@theprophet9429 Nope, I've read it recently. You nailed it. Some people are just evil. And when John gave his judgement to Percy and Bill, it's kind of like God (JC) giving his. However, there are ALSO those that, even though they've done evil things or may have been evil in the past, they are no more. Think the native fella or Del. They've done HORRIBLE things, but they feel genuine remorse. The idea of the book is definitely to question the reader on their morals and whether or not it's wrong to feel empathy or compassion to those who have done bad. Great read. Great movie.
He wasn’t molested his parents had power and he abused his authority and put himself on a pedestal…he was jus an asshole
Michael Clark Duncan should’ve had this Oscar in the bag even though he didn’t win in my heart he won rest easy you lovely giant
In the book, Dale was convicted of raping and killing a young girl, then trying to cover up his crime by burning her body. The fire was near an apartment building that caught on fire and killed six more people, including two children. So I feel bad for him, but also feel his execution is not necessarily unjustified.
Yeah there’s a reason they didn’t put that in the movie, because no one would feel bad for him if they knew his crimes 😂 I’m glad they didn’t I just try to think the character in the movie is innocent
When I say his execution could be seen as justified, I do not mean how his execution was carried out. No one disserves to die like that.
And Arlen 'Chief' Bitterbuck killed a man in a fight over a pair of boots.
Not to mention the ending was very different. I like the ending here a bit more, but yes, there are a few things that differ from the book. Nonetheless, it wasn’t a bad adaptation!
Then you’ve forgotten what Paul narrates about it. (I’m doing this from memory, so it might not be spot on) “It was the only crime he had in him.” The thing that had committed the crimes leaves most of the criminals once they’ve done it. “It vacates and leaves us to kill husks that aren’t really men any more.”
And his thoughts at the end of the book, “Fragile as blown glass we are, even under the best circumstances. To kill each other…. The horror. The folly.”
The book has more room to make Del sympathetic while still not shying away from the fact that he is a rapist who inadvertently murdered children. The movie was very smart not to try to make that work for this medium.
Many people out there think that Stephen King is just a horror writer. He's far more then that, he can write just about anything. This was one of his more astounding creations and this movie is a masterwork, it's so hard but so good.
You are so right, the man is incredible.
this and shawshank redemption are his 2 best ever works. Both of these movies where directed by frank darabont
When ash says 'he's putting the lemon in him!' 😂😂😂
“I’m tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I’m tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we’s going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I’m tired of people being ugly ro each other. I’m tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world, everyday. There’s too much of it. It’s like pieces of glass in my head, all the time”. - John Coffey.
Such a beautiful quote that still represents this modern world. I’ll cheerish it forever.
And John’s death is easily one of the saddest moments in cinema history. RIP
Loved this reaction guys 🙌
One of the best films made 💛
Appreciate you mate, thank you for watching ❤️
The actor Michael Clarke Duncan who played J.C found it so hard to film this movie. He could be found many days sat by the river crying his heart out. He said it was because he felt the pain of so many innocent men and women in jail or on death row who were set up to be guilty because of their skin colour or because they were close by to the scene. Losing Michael Clarke Duncan so young was such a loss to us all and many were only just discovering his work. May big Mike rest in peace. blessed be.
Hannah’s reaction to this is TH-cam gold. I felt exactly the same when I watched it. She is clearly full of empathy, nothing to apologise for ever and she called it all the way through. Magic
Imagine seeing this at the cinema, Not a dry eye in the house. True art
This movie makes me cry every time but Hannah, she is so pure and sweet, made the reaction even better. It’s like she felt his pain while he felt the pain of the world.
Man nobody will probably read this, but just in case someone does.
This was truly a great reaction. Back when this movie came out, I didn't cry. I made myself so hard and was paying attention to my wife who was balling her eyes out. That kept me from crying that day.
Fast forward however many years it's been since this movie came out. I had a massive heart attack in my doctors office. This was on 9/14/2021. I died that day for 8 minutes and some change at the age of 45. Life is so much different now. I'm retired now and my wife want let me do anything that causes me any kind of stress. My heart doctor made things even worse when he told EVERYONE that I should be dead and in the ground.
You see I had 100% blockage in the so called Widowmaker artery and 90% blockage in one of the others. The doctor literally had just ran an EKG on me and yelled at the nurse to please hurry on getting the ambulance there. She looks at me and says to me, Mr. Jason, you are having a F^&$ing heart attack right now!!!!! She saved my life. When the other doctors where telling her to just stop and call the T,O,D. She kept on shocking me and she told it was all or nothing on the last shock. They turned that thing up all the away and hit me.
I was released the next day from the hospital!!!!!! I had 2 stents, 6 broken ribs and a severe torn left pectoral muscle!!!!! My doctor that worked there at the Doctors office, he was fired the very next day!!! I had been telling him that something was wrong with my heart and he said OK OK, well let's get this blood pressure down first. Man I drove myself to the doctors office at 9:30am having a heart attack. It's a 40 minute drive from my house. When I git 8 miles from the office, I called my wife and told her just how much I loved her and my 3 kids. I could barely breathe when I was talking to her and I had to hang up.
Needless to say, live life to your fullest, enjoy the company you keep. Like a song I heard a long time ago, live like you are dying.
Peace love and cheerios. With love take care.
I read it, and I thank you for sharing such an enlightening, traumatic and beautiful story of your experience. I needed the reminder about how precious life is and the joy I should be feeling and sharing daily. Well wishes to you and yours!
Fake!
@@Micahramsey-xx9hktouch some grass
Damn I’m so glad I clicked the “Read More”
This makes most people ugly cry. Me included. I saw this in the theater and had to try not to just sob. Geezus this is such a classic.
This reaction made me ugly cry. 😅
But I love feeling these emotions. I've watched the movie over ten times already. I think I'm emotionally stable but I completely understand when people say, they don't wanna watch these movies ever again....
@@chanceneck8072 WOW... a year-old video... and your comment is only 10 days old... it's so great to see people are still discovering this reaction!
I return to it every so often myself, and I've seen EVERY one of Ash's videos.
I SOO know what you mean, "I love feeling these emotions." I have a recent appreciation for emotional movies... despite the fact that for MOST of my life, I either didn't care for, or flat-out avoided tearjerkers and even crying in general. BUT... it was a first-time watch of "Inside Out"... (relatively late, at age 30!) that actually turned me into a tearjerker-seeker... when I felt firsthand the feel-good brain endorphins that can come along with the tears. Not sure why it took me that long, but emotions are definitely unpredictable!
Out of all the reactions I’ve watched for this movie …. Hannah is the first person that caught on when John Coffey said “ I took it back “ … and understood it was connected to when he said he was trying to take it back but it was to late .. most only caught that at the end when John Coffey showed the tragedy that happened.
I firmly believe that Stephen King wrote Michael Clarke Duncan into existence.
Hannah, you have such amazing intuition. It's almost as if you wrote the script. You are quickly becoming my favorite reactor.
Thanks for the great reaction!
I'm a fan of Stephen king as well. He may be the king of horror but damn he can evoke every emotion possible in his stories outside the horror genre too. He's an absolute genius
The real life inspiration for this movie is even more sad. Google George Stinney Jr. Truly one of the most repulsive injustices ever committed to young person in the south. 😢
The one line in this movie that always gets me, besides half of what John Coffey says, is the line from Tom Hanks:
"On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say?"
"That it was my job? My job!"
"You tell God, the Father, that it was a kindness you done. I'm tired boss."
Heartbreaking!!!!
My Favourite line also.
In my humble opinion, John Cofe is symbolic of Jesus Christ. JC=JC
The first time I saw it that part gave me goosebumps!
When someone told Stephen King that John Coffey's initials being JC wasn't very subtle, his response was something along the lines of "I wasn't aware I was required to be subtle".
This is a flawless movie, hard to pick between this, Shawshank and Forrest Gump for my favourite. Love both your reactions. You are both so authentic and are my go to reaction channel. Michael Clarke Duncan was astonishing in this. How he didn't win Best Supporting Actor for this is beyond me. RIP.
IMO there's no debate that Darabont doing SK material, like Shawshank and Green Mile and The Mist, is the top of the mountain for movies. And to think, Darabont asked SK for The Dark Tower, and SK laughed him off... "How he didn't win Best Supporting Actor for this is beyond me", politics. Michael Cane delivered an epic performance, and, his movie had an abortion theme. Hillary Swank killed her performance too, but IMO, she won the Oscar because of politics too. Playing transgender. 2000 is when the woke stuff started ramping up and Hollywood started to die.
This movie really didn’t do it for me. The “powers” took me completely out of it. I prefer Shawshank and forest gump by far.
Great but not entirely flawless. Here are 3 that I think diminsh it.
Flaw 1: John's supposedly great epiphany that made him want to die is extremely lame. Are we to understand that his biggest issue with Wild Bill's is that he killed the thing he loved? Seems to me that raping and killing two little girls was the far greater crime and that Bill's feelings when he did it are of little or no account.
Flaw 2: That John would intentionally transmit evil into anyone is very much out of character and not the sort of thing someone with such a supposedly holy soul would do (vengeance being reserved for God not man).
Flaw 3: I think it suffered by being about 5 minutes too long. And I agree with Ash that it should have ended with John's death. That last bit with the mouse and all the lofty words were anticlimactic and distracting from the main message of the movie, that the death penalty is an archaic, inhumane practice and that good and evil can be found on both sides of prison bars.
@@itt23r "vengeance being reserved for God not man"
You mean, unbaptized newborn babies being horrifically tortured by lava monsters for all eternity? That kind of vengeance? But, John was wrong?
As great as Shawshank and Gump are I don't think it's a hard choise at all.
The Green Mile is easily the superior film imo.
This is a BEAUTIFUL and BRILLIANT movie and I’m so happy that you both appreciated it to the appropriate level. Hannah’s reaction was so sweet and very similar to my reaction the first time I saw it. Cried like a baby through so much of it. I love that Hannah says it’s her favorite. This movie deserves it.
The actor who played Percy married a 16 year old girl when he was 51. I am not sure if Percy was worse or not.
Legal where I am 😊
@@Tiffanylouisekellydoesn’t make it right
@@HickMan931 you’re right. I know
@@HickMan931 Doesn't make it wrong either
@@kingmedjai9433yes it does. don’t try and excuse pedophilia. especially when this movie shows how disgusting it is.
JC at the beginning of the movie: "I'm scared of the dark"
Ash: 🤨😆
JC at the end of the movie: "I'm scared of the dark"
Ash: 🥺😭
I think he might have cried more than I did the first time I watched it. Impressive.
Stephen King masterpiece! Amazing cast! Michael Clark Duncan should have won the Oscar for playing John Coffee! I cry every time I see it!!! ❤❤❤
Ash and Hannah are the realest reactors on TH-cam. Such a great film with impeccable performances from all of the actors and a brilliant story by Stephen King.
Marc!! What a beautiful comment, thank you brother ❤️
'You can't watch this again.' I've seen this film literally hundreds of times, it is one of my favourites. For years I had to watch this at least once a week. It's one of the most emotionally effective films ever made, in my opinion. Hannah, I too often still cover my face with my hands when I cry - a throwback to my childhood when it was shameful to cry since my siblings and every kid in school would tease me, leaving me with the impression. I know now though that reacting emotionally shows how human we are, and being human is nothing to be ashamed of. I held back the tears watching E.T. for the first time (at the age of six ffs!).
Why would you do that to yourself lol
You have the courage and strenght to watch movies that impact you, over and over. That is a level of self awareness i wish to get. Congratulations, i am really impressed. If you like emotional movies like this, i just have some recommendations. Some you probably seen already:
Old Boy (korean version)
Interstellar
Forrest gump
Ps: i love you
American history x
And many more..
You're not alone. I cry like a baby every time over Forrest Gump.
After, Frank Darabont, directed, “The Shawshank Redemption,” and this film, both of which have been in the, American Film Institute‘s, ‘Top-10 Films of All Time” for decades now, he went on to spend two years of his life adapting and creating “THE WALKING DEAD,” for the screen, along with, Greg Nicotero…
Only to be fired by that POS CEO of AMC, after writing/directing season one of TWD, simply because he asked for a higher budget for season two 🙄
You may notice that 2-3 actors from this film, and Frank’s other films, appear in the first few seasons of TWD.
So glad that recently, my man, Frank Darabont, finally won his battle with AMC, and was awarded close to a quarter of a billion dollars.
Absolutely deserved, and won from a Network that never deserved his talent.
I met Frank once at the Kentucky Derby’s, Barnstable-Brown Party, and Frank is absolutely a legit dude. Took the time to speak with me about his films and his career for 30+ minutes over some drinks🍻✌🏻
@@5calambres Actually I have yet to see Old Boy or PS: I Love You so thank you for the recommendations. The other films you listed though fall into the same category as The Green Mile - among my favourite films. Forrest Gump I have seen probably more than The Green Mile, Interstellar not as much but it hasn't been around as long.
The movie ending with the mouse is just perfect. I always cry when I watch this movie. Always. It's based on a Stephen King novel. That man is my favorite writer and this movie does his book justice, I'll even say it's better than the book. And I never say that. Loved your reaction.
Hannah, don't apologize for crying, I did the SAME thing as you, the first time, and EVERY time I have watched "TThe Green Mile, and when watching it with both of you. It shows that you have empathy, and that is the BEST quality to have, NEVER be ashamed to show that to anyone with your tears. If we had more empathetic people in this world, we wouldn't see all the war, hate and ugliness that we all experience in one way or another. I am 75 now, and I don't know how long I will live. I hope it is long enough to see things improve, and if not....I hope it will improve for you and your children and grandchildren, including my own. THANK YOU for reacting to the Green Mile, and thank you both for your humanity.
Very few movies affect me enough to sob like a child. This one definitely tops the list. Still one of my all time favorite movies.
This girl is so empathetic. A real sweetheart!
You two are fucking hilarious even when tragedy is unfolding. “How come she’s not crying like us? She’s one cold hearted bitch” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I stand by it! She’s just calmly listening..I would’ve walked out 😂 thank you for watching ❤️
First, I am so upset I've only just now found this channel but happy that now I have something to binge for the next week.
Secondly, I've watched this movie probably over 100 times over the last 22 years and I promise you, I cry every single time. Watching both of your reactions to it, made me cry only harder. 💔
Mate so glad the algorithm found you..it’s an honour to have you on our channel you legend ❤️
"is he supernatural?" He's a metaphor for Jesus Christ. His initials are JC and someone said it was like he just "came down from the sky" (or something similar, I don't remember the actual quote). He feels everyone's pain and the way people are so ugly to each other. He's the next coming of Christ and that's why he always sounds so innocent.
One thing this movie really gets is how especially here in the US we think of prisoners as being no longer human and being incapable of kindness or redemption, much less being innocent. And so many on death row particularly in the deep south are mentally challenged, brain damaged or severely schizophrenic. There is nothing preventing any outrage being committed against them or any incentive in the system to treat them with decency and kindness. But if you open your heart you might find that many aren't monsters at all and some are indeed lovely people who were wrongly convicted and could give the world so much
When Hannah reacted so much to the first execution I feared for her.
A great reaction to an amazing movie.
To be vulnerable to the world with your reactions is beautiful and shows absolute confidence in who you two are , ( my prospective obviously). Felt many great and gut wrenching emotions thru your reactions and am grateful i stumbled onto you two. I believe I watch these because I feel so many emotions and it feels good. So thanks for your genuineness when reacting, you two have become my new favorites and I assure you I have seen many , probably too many but I love it and it feeds the soul which is difficult to keep satisfied ❤️
Trevor my brother, mate proper appreciate you man..what a beautiful compliment you legend ❤️
Bless you both. Wonderful reactions. It is a heart breaking movie. Stephan King is an epic story teller ❤

I love KING! I have read so many of his books.
I LOVE this reaction (and I’ve watched a LOT)……believe it or not guys, this is a movie you can watch over and over and shed tears every time….it’s so good
I have seen so many reactions to this movie, and this reaction by you two was the best by far. At first I was irritated because there wasn't much of the movie shown in your reaction, which was mainly because I wanted to watch it again, but watching you two piece together the plot to predict subsequent scenes quickly quelled my irritation. As a film student long ago, to hear you talk of the movie the way my fellow students and I dissected other ones on a graduate level made this reaction video the best I have seen by any of the TH-cam reactors on any video by far. Finding women who cried while watching this movie are a dime a dozen. Finding a man who was as emotional as I and who snotted as much as I did...
Priceless.
My brother! You don’t even understand how much this means to us..appreciate you and the love, love you mate ❤️
@@justtrustash Just watched your Deadpool reaction too haha. Awesome!
This is one of the best adaptations ever made. In my opinion it would be the best movie ever if Forest Gump didn't exist(i just love Forest Gump too much). The dialogue is amazing. That last conversation between John and Paul where paul asks what is he supposed to say to God when he meets him, just kills me every single time. John's speech about being alone, and feeling the hate and pain like glass in his head... Ufff, and the whole execution scene too... I can't. I knew you guys weren't gonna make it out of this one in one piece haha. hannah won this reaction tho🤣. Love from Argentina.🥰
Stephen King is awesome🙂 Not many of the film adaptations of his books are good. This is def. one that is awesome along with Shawshank Redemption, IT, Cujo, The Stand, Nightflyer, Storm of the Century. Well, I take it back. There is a lot of awesome adaptations of his books🙂
We studies the screenplay in my HS English class and it is almost exact. A very well paced movie
I agree that one of the best line and acted scenes ever filmed is the one about what do I say to God when asked why I killed one of His….”I was doing my job?!?”
That’s my girl!!! She killed it in this reaction , Thank you so much for watching mate ☺️
@@tonyritter3247 I just can't with that scene. That's one of the many reasons why Tom Hanks is, in my opinion the greatest actor.
This is the saddest and yet the most beautiful movie I ever watched.
Imagine being responsible for killing someone so nice and so kind. Killing an angel. An innocent and beautiful being.
I cry every single time I watch this movie or any reaction, every single one.
More than even an Angel, it's implied that John Coffey is actually the 2nd coming of Christ. It's why they have the same initials, J.C. 😢
When she tried to run from Dales execution scene I was like "Somebody grab her she's trying to escape*😂
Ash the real mvp, he grabbed her leg I think.
Her and percy was forced to watch😂
I'm genuinely in love with you guys. You made me weep and laugh so much. Such a wholesome reaction.
My brother Ruben! Was an honour experiencing this movie with you..thank you for this beautiful comment ❤️
The novel is in my top 5 and this movie is in my top 10. Both are phenomenal. And in answer to your question about Del, we find out in the book that he did kill some innocent people, but it was by accident. He tried to burn down a house to kill someone who had wronged him (can't remember what the guy did against him), but there were other people in the house who also died. I strongly recommend the Stephen King novel.
It wasn’t to kill someone who had wronged him. It was to cover up Del’s crime of r*ping and killing a young girl. So he accidentally murdered more people in the house fire that was supposed to destroy evidence of that crime.
This reaction was so REAL. Ash, you and Hannah have earned a fan! Subbed.
So much love to you mate! Thank you for the support ❤️
1- Love your reactions.
2- The "flies" - according to the book - represent all the evil on earth, that's why when they are seen, a strange sound is heard between screams and roars. Then Persy's mind, already disturbed, could not contain all these visions and sensations.
I so have to read this book now. Thanks for the insight, Veronica.
You know Del’s execution was f*cked up when even the families of his victims look horrified
Even Percy couldn't watch, he had no idea it would be so horrific.
Jesus... this was such a visceral and real reaction to a movie with absolutely devastating parts. I just wanted to reach out and share a hug with both of you
It's an emotionally draining movie and this was such a genuine reaction. Truly appreciate the both of you - thank you!
I know this was from last year, but I just watched your reaction to this movie. One of the best movie ever. Also the director of this film was the same as Shawshank redemption. Your reaction was genuine and heartfelt. Daring to cry on social media and show that kind of vulnerability has touched me. Thank you.
I love the way she realised "the I took it back" regarding Tom coffee well before me! The moment he healed Tom Hanks she knew! It honestly took me a while. Well done. Love the reactions btw. Great film but one I can barely watch (Dell's execution)
I completely missed that when I was reacting to the movie..but when I was editing it, I got proper emotional..thank you for watching Chris ❤️
There isn't a bad performance in this film. Michael Clarke Duncan gets a lot of the attention, but Michael Jeter as Del... and Doug Hutchison as Percy... Just phenomenal. An amazing cast.
The reason they continue to shock him even though the sponges dry is because they've already started and to turn it off would just prolong his suffering or at least that's what they thought at the time. It explains it really well in the book
This film destroys everyone emotionally. One of the best movies ever!
Thank you for your awesome, honest reactions!! I cry every time I've seen this movie!!
Guys...I have watched about 20 different reactions to this movie. This is by far the best one i've seen!!! The last few times, I've been able to finally hold my tears on certain parts. Y'all made me cry about 8 times here!! You made me feel it all again and i truly loved seeing your genuine emotions to it. Thank you for sharing this with us
The reactions of the two of you are what caused me to suffer through this fantastic movie again. You have good hearts. Well done Hannah and Ash. Well done.
When you were wondering why you were getting so emotional over the mouse (I totally did too), I thought, "If you're teary-eyed now, just wait." This movie pulls on the heartstrings like no other. It takes place in the most macabre, depressing setting ever, but taps into something so primally sweet, innocent, and human within us. I was achingly raw with emotion the first time I saw this film, and don't think I've watched it all the way through since because it's just too much.
Beautiful. The reaction. The investment in story and characters. The movie itself. All brilliant.
Thank you for watching Robert ❤️
Still can’t believe American Beauty won Best Picture at the Oscars over The Green Mile.
I also think the actor who played Percy should have been nominated for Supporting Actor together with Michael.
Grateful for your authentic reactions guys! Love Michael Clarke Duncan for his break out role in this movie. May he Rest In Peace.
I get so worried with Hannah watching movies like this. I try not to get emotional, but when she gets upset I cry too!
Love you guys! You are my favorite reaction channel seriously!!
Much ❤ from Philadelphia
LETS GOOOOOOOO CINDY!! Mate thank you so much, you’re a proper legend mate ❤️
In truth though, there are not a lot of movies like this.
It’s been a minute since I’ve seen this movie.
When Percy stomps on the mouse…the energy from both of you at that moment 😂🫶🏼
It was like you were trying to scream but you were frozen in stunned silence.
That came out of nowhere.
Top tier reaction.
First of all... I love you, both. Hannah, you're a saint and your heart is pure Gold. Don't ever change, unless you want to... but Ash... Its wonderful to see a guy whose comfortable with his emotions, who doesn't try to hold the tears in front of his girlfriend, who uploads the video for countless people to watch. I hope you know how healthy that is, and that it shows true strength, rather than weakness. Speaking as a guy, I hold mine back a lot, and if you continue to lead such a great example, you could really be making a difference on a few people's lives... Don't mean to make this too mushy... Thanks for watching my favourite movie...
Wow I genuinely never thought about it that way..I think it also comes from the fact that I just love movies and have always found myself lost and immersed into them so when the emotions hit it’s because I’m there with them you know? I found a partner who’s exactly the same..but honestly helping people is what this channel is all about! Mate I appreciate you so much, mad love to you ❤️
Well, we’ve got a summary of your two personalities:
Hannah: Maybe he hugged them too hard
Ash: I think he’s faking it
😂😂😂
😂😂 so true
I loved your reactions. The observation that this movie ruins you to make you a better person was spot on. Thank you for this. Thank you both.
Crikey Hannah! You were really on it with this one! You were guessing what was going to happen correctly all the wY through. Great reaction from both of you. This IS an emotional film - you're allowed to cry. 🙂
I've looked for new reactors for awhile... It's a new way to experience a movie... But you two are absolutely at the top of my list for bringing out the stuff in a movie that I didn't even consider... Thank you so much for this reaction...
Hannah has the purest heart. She is essential to your video's now. That was the best reaction I have ever seen!
All time best reaction I've ever seen, Holy crap, you guys! I love you both! I cried right along with you every step of the way. Hannah, you nailed the plot so early in the movie, you are genius!
Ash, man, your heart is so passionate and deep!
When I saw you'd reacted to this, I was legit WORRIED for you both, I knew it would tear you both apart, and all I could do for you both was to watch it with you, cry with you, and in some intangible way, somehow be there for you.
I don't regret a single minute. This was HARD, but it was also beautiful, and I thank you both so much! Be well my friends, and comfort each other! Hugs to you both!
My brother! Thank you for being on this journey with us..this comment means the world to us ❤️
Y'alls' dynamic together is absolutely amazing!!!!!!
