- Despite his innocence John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) accepts his destiny and is ready to die in this heartbreaking scene from The Green Mile. Paul (Tom Hanks) accepts his wishes although he doesn't want to kill what he believes to be a miracle from God. One of the most powerful, tearjerking scenes in movie history.
What is The Green Mile about?
The Green Mile (1999) Synopsis: Frank Darabont’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel. Paul, the head guard of a prison, meets an inmate, John, an African American who is accused of murdering two girls. His life changes drastically when he discovers that John has a special gift.

This ending makes me cry every time no matter how hard I try

All the officers crying broke my heart and he said "I'm afraid of the dark" and "I'm sorry for what I am", and innocent man put to death. Breaks my heart.

Rion King reminds me off the innocent politician who shot himself on live television because of corruption.
0 dwamn yea I’ve seen that.
Neeraj Tewari guilty leaders and officials to worried about themselves... accidents.. there’s all kinds of reasons for injustice that it almost makes it pointless to weed through. It’s sad. It makes you want to put your heart on your sleeve and save the world. But how long until it becomes self righteous. You can virtue signal all you want, but each step takes you closer and closer to ego god.
In the 1980s and 1990s 12 men were but to death on falsified evidence from the FBI lab...Please see the first FBI whistleblower Frederic Whitehurst.
2:14 Out of all the scenes been mentioned so far, this is the one that always got me crying. The fact the officer can’t hold back his tears even in-front of the victims family, like the rest are, it just shows how respected John was and how innocent he was, he made grown men cry like babies. Best film ever made by far.
I’ll definitely check it out then!

Deep stuff
But then you can't speak to God only your soul can tell the truth
I feel so bad for him...EVERYBODY DIED
People have commented on how John says "I'm sorry for what I am" so that the families can be content. However I believe that he was being sincere and honest. Like he has come to regret his gift because he was simply too pure for this world.
Here is a being so kind, so loving, so incapable of evil, who has been broken so much by humanity's evil to the point where he is truly sorry for being what he is.
In the end, he still felt like it was his fault.
A true angel.
The “I’s scared of the dark” broke me into a million pieces
He was so child like and innocent which made it worse.
The fact that innocent man can be put to death...makes my heart hurt.

I never thought of that...but yea you are right!
If this scene didn't make you cry, you're dead inside
I didn’t cry during this scene, but I definitely started bawling after the film after just thinking about this scene alone, especially the way the “don’t put me in the dark” line was delivered.. It really hit deep.
I must be half dead inside because I came close, but not quite there.
This movie changed me. I wasn’t the same person after it concluded. What an emotionally moving piece of art. This movie will always be treasured by me. Incredible filmmaking and acting.
The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan didn't win an Oscar for this is criminal.

Why was he exucuted
@@og.marii3x247 why did they execute him
"Does it hurt yet? I hope it does."
Considering what we know about John, we probably should be angry at her for saying this. But the true tragedy lies within the simple fact that her pain of losing her children is real, but she doesn't know the truth. She doesn't know better than to hate John. I cannot really blame her for the pain a mother like her must have been going through, even if this pain breeds even more pain.
I'm a father and i get it when i first watched the movie as a kid i was angry at her but i watched it again after my son was born and understood her anger. people never really know until they have children themselves...
He was too pure for this cruel world.
Thank you, mr. Stephen King. For this - and for many more
I like how the cameras didn’t show john being electricuted, almost as if to show respect to him and not glorify his death
Yeah...
Yea, i liked how this time, it shows the guards' reactions. They all knew he was innocent
I guess that means, Reaction is more important than the fact of execution for Audience
Some kids watch it or not but kids watch him die
Was this movie based on real story
What makes this even more sad is that the actor who played John died of a heart attack in 2012.
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.

This is the first movie that has ever made me cry, i thought it was stupid that people cried during movies, but after i saw Johns face and him saying he is afraid of the dark shatered my soul, i was also crying because i knew the actor passed away making this look even sader. RIP legend 🕊️

@@andrefelipe2643 because Percy is a evil man
It sounds like something he said before he went to bed to his mom now he said that before he’s dead
He carried the burden of all the evil, sickness and sin of everyone else in the world. So much that he feared himself being in that darkness.. Reminds me of a Bible verse, "The Light has come into the world. But men preferred darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil" John was the light in that world, and he feared losing that
The Officers cried because they knew he was innocent too.
If innocent isent bad enough, a genuine hearted soul who took the fall for a man in a cell ten feet away.
Good hint sherlock

This might just be the greatest death scene in cinema history. From john apologizing to the family even though he did no wrong, to the guards just barely holding back their tears knowing that an innocent man is about to die, to john singing the song about heaven, to paul holding his hand moments before they turn on the chair, to the fact that john never screamed. Everything about this scene is just perfect and so heart shattering.
can't scream while electrocuted.
I've not seen this film yet, why do they kill him if they know he's innocent?
The way he says “heaven, I’m in heaven” is so heartbreaking 💔
When Tom Hanks said "May God have mercy on your soul" his face says "may God have mercy on my soul too"
It feels like hes telling himself that more than paul
His name is Paul
May god have mercy on OUR souls...
I think the tonal change in his voice is an indicator he's telling this to himself more than John
Louisiana Boy i always thought that Paul was saying it to himself as well as John. He had already voiced concern about how God would judge him for killing a miracle, and so he’s praying to God not to judge him for doing it.
Titanic: where boys cry
The green mile: where men cry
@The Thot Slayer it was still sad
@The Thot Slayer I cried during Titanic........mainly when I realized how long I'd have to wait to see the whole fuckin reason I'm watching the movie
just green mile
I enjoyed the very end of Titanic, where the ship comes back to life and Jack is there in the staircase waiting for Rose, with everyone watching. But the end to this movie is even better.
@@theclownservatarian6410 yes
'I'm sorry for what I am'
A message sent by the movie which was much ahead of its time.
The older I get, the harder it is to watch this scene. Everything about this is just perfect it absolutely destroys my heart.
The guards in that room knew that John was a pure an innocent giant.. I can't help but get teary eyed on this scene
This scene where the Mother cries out "does it hurt yet" and then the scene switches to Paul whom appeared to pause, I actually thought his next words would be, "he's an innocent man wrongfully accused for the crimes of Wild Bill". I saw this film after spending six months in East Timor as a Peace Keeper with the Australian Army. And it brought home to me the injustices portrayed in the film and the very similar treatment the peoples of East Timor suffered under the Indonesians.
They did know but they had no choice so he had to give order
@Papaya Tasty It's not that they couldn't save him, John actually wanted to die because he was tired of all the pain and suffering in the world. The guards gave him the choice to escape and he refused
maning04 if I was him giving the order I wouldn’t let him be killed despite John wanting to die
@@timorvet1 they made their own choices
When the woman said "I hope it hurts like hell", and I saw his face, I realized that, at this very moment, nothing would hurt more than what he was feeling right there before he died.
this scene begins with a dialogue and shot where he said he could feel all the hate and anger since he entered the room...
That was some brilliant acting wasn't it
Yes, but woman wasn't at fault. She actually believed he had killed both her daughters. She couldn't know the truth.
@Callum Willis-Hignight Yeah, but remember that he was the only one found in a field with the two dead girls in his arms. Also, he was acting in a very strange manner. Of course, you and I know better because we've watched the movie. But with the information the mother had, her anger was justifiable.
@Callum Willis-Hignight Haha turns out I had an youtube tab open and the notification popped up.
I already cried my eyeballs out and I’m still crying😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This never fails to make me tear up. Just him say he afraid of the dark just hurts my heart
“They killin’ what they love,
That’s how it is. All over the world.” - John Coffey
Profoundly true
... 🍿...
He actually said "He killed them with their love"
He said “he killed them with they love” as in the reason they died was because the sisters loved each other so much they wouldn’t scream out for help bc Wild bill told them if they said something or made any noise he would kill them
@@jar3987
That's exactly it, as others are able to kill them too through love: their jealousy, too much passion, like what in one way or the other, it is important to make the difference. In friendship or in couple, the individual interest must not strangle the common interest and vice versa ... Common sense and balance
When John said that he’s afraid of the dark, that broke me.
Unfortunately, this is what happens to human beings. There are reasons that push a person to commit approved mistakes such as murder, theft and unintentional killing
😪
@@squad-kl3ek it is unfortunate, especially because the evidence shouldn’t have been able to condemn him, so there real killer got to get another kill by killing this guy
I was real close at that moment, but when he said “He killed them with their love” I couldn’t stop crying.
When he said he was afraid of the dark, it was the physical world that he endured. His soul went to a better place than the cruel world he had to witness.
this scene always got to me, it’s such a shame how he was killed, even the police knew his innocence :(
It's truly a sad scene but maybe a happy ending for Coffey. He say everyday he is in great pain, he can feel everyone's pain and he wants the Execution.
Michael Clarke Duncan delivered one of the greatest acting performances ever. He did an outstanding job portraying John Coffey in a way that it brought us all to tears. I look at John Coffey as a Christ-like figure who had to die in order to save those around him. The guards knew he was innocent yet had no choice but to put him to death. Rest in peace Michael, you will never be forgotten. ❤
😥
What we all have done during this scene:
1- breathed hard.
2- tried not to cry.
3- cried hard.

Ye and wats the film about idk it’s just emotional and what’s happening rn with blm
Jenson X9 a gentleman named John Coffey was accused of killing this white man’s daughters. Coffey was trying to save them but no one was around to witness him attempting to save the girls. They thought Coffey killed them and their father beat Coffey. He then was sentenced to death. The officers that get emotional know he is innocent but can’t or won’t do anything.
WAIT WHAT!?
It’s sad to think that this once happened in real life to many people.
Shit it still happens today just not as often

This made me cry. John didn’t deserve any of the things he went through

It's so heartbreaking that he said 'I'm sorry for what I am' even though he was innocent just so that the victim's family could be satisfied.
Easily one of the best films ever made.
I think he meant he was sorry for being able to feel what he felt and do what he does. All he did was try to fix the girls and all it did was cause pain for even more people, not to mention himself.

Totally agree.The part where Tom Hanks says roll on 2,it can be heard in his voice that he was trying really hard to hold back his tears,i think Hanks should have won the oscar in 2000 for best actor just for that scene alone.I can't think of another actor that can pull off an acting performance as phenomenal as that.The Green Mile is an absolute masterpiece and imo the greatest Stephen King movie ever.It's a shame they don't make films like this anymore.

@@phillipwalling7470 *He said with a cracked voice, barely hanging together*
True
when he says "he killed them with they love", what does it mean
@@Nemenis It means that the actual killer (the guy with the arm tattoo I forgot his name) used the 2 kids' love for each other to trick them and kill them both, because in the scene where he enters their bedroom, he tells them "if you love her don't make a sound or I'll kill her" and he says the same thing to the other girl. So basically he tricked the girls and killed them both anyways.
When Paul goes up to Jon and shakes his hand, to me it was a final begging of forgiveness for what was about to happen. Crushed me.
I think of it as more of Paul assuring him that he was in fact a good person despite all of the outrage from everyone else in the room at the time. It let him know that not everyone hated him but that there were at least a few men there that loved and respected him.
@@alecaquino4306 I like that.. I also see it as Paul saying farewell to John and he's sorry he has to do this
@@masonkemp6251 Absolutely. It was a sincere gesture to bring comfort to one another at he very end.
What is he saying?
It was more of a goodbye shake since John wanted this and all Paul could do was helping with the "glasses in his head" to ease this moment as much as he could.

Agree
Yep.
😢😢😢
Me too 😥😥😥
If I said I didn't, would you be angry at me?
This movie makes me cry like a baby every time I watch it. One of the best movies ever made.
I cried through the whole scene 😭
Just truly sad, the more was innocent but he wanted to die because he was tired of a the pain and suffering in the world. Even more sad because those people watching the execution will never know the truth...😢
Shadowreeper213 they go by choice and the whole town can watch it
Shadowreeper213 you are not required to watch death
I think Coffey forgives them but I think the real villian is the cop that told a man that "it's a fairy tale" and John Coffey did something to him and made him mentally ill
@@Caim6311 there were actually 2 villains, the power hungry cop and the man they brought from the insane asylum
@@steveboone1498 the guy from insane asylum raped and killed these 2 girls... And main protagonist got killed for it.
Rest in peace Michael Clarke Duncan, the real John Coffey.😥
It’s been over a decade already :( I will never forget my reaction when it happened.
:((( rest in place
The real John coffey was George Stinney, his case inspired this movie
@@Ghostrider-ul7xn thought it was Joe Winney

whenever I need a good cry I go to this video. thank you green mile
This is the saddest scene ever put on film and I will forever stand by that
Seeing the guards cry when they're about to kill John breaks my heart because this movie shows he's innocent and the guards didn't want to kill him because they saw he had a power to heal people and it wasn't just any power, he had a gift from God.
Only Mole maintain the face. Obviously he leaves the mile with Paul so soon he can
Thank you, cliff notes
“God sent humanity an angel but we killed him because we are blinded by ignorance and hate.”
Yeah because it's a movie, but in real life, none of the police officers cried when they electrocuted Stinney

Audiences: Stephen King is only good in horror
King: Get me some new paper for the typewriter
Some of his best stuff has nothing to do with anything supernatural.
The Body was phenomenal
It was still a horror just not jump scares or ghosts or resurrecting the dead it shows the horror of the real world and what black people faced and still face to this day
This is made by stephan King?
Well only dells execution was a horror apart from that just sadnesd and funniness
The serial novels it's based on were writing by King. They're great to.
Outstanding, pure outstanding.
This is one of the most saddest scenes that I have ever seen before.
The lights burning out is a symbol of the moment John Coffey's spirit surged away from the earth, and went towards heaven.
Aww🥺
I always thought of it as it taking alot more than the usual amount of power just due to what he was. To me it felt alot like how long it was said Jesus took on the cross to die and how long he was able to be beaten and tortured and still endured. Just due to both of them being some form of divine-sent person I would think they would have extreme endurance.
I always took this as just like when John is healing others and the lights explode at that moment God was taking that pain for John or somethin of a higher power at least.
@exxodas No bro, someone just sabotage the lights....
I always thought of it as Mr. Jingles tampering with the lights.

*What he says:* "May God have mercy on your soul."
*What he's thinking:* "May God have mercy on _my_ soul."
Exactly
Nah they where freinds
@@simeon669 yeah, but he knew the guy in the chair would go to heaven anyway and that he has to kill an innocent man because there was no proof of it. That's what he meant
@@oziebozie3411 ok now i get it
@@oziebozie3411 it is a good movie but i saw it a long Time ago
In my opinion, one of the greatest films ever made. Few are able to touch your heart in the way Green Mile did. It’s in my top 3 of all time, even though it absolutely shatters me every time.
I only watched this part and still cried
As a grown man, i cried to this scene too. The world is cruel. Im actually happy for him because he doesn't have to endure the suffering this world brings him, and goes to Heaven. its actually the other way round. The world doesn't deserve him.
Indeed...
The sad part of being atheist is that you can’t expect an heaven for you
Only darkness
😪😪
Perfectly said... an angel
