This movie is one that will haunt you. The character of John Coffey is one you'll never forget. Every character is perfectly cast, and the relationship that develops between John and the guards is incredibly touching. If John had not actually wanted to die, his fate would have been unbearable, but, when Paul offers to let him go, John lets him know that he's tired of all the pain and ready to go. It's also the only movie that isn't animated that has a mouse as a main character.
Fun fact. Two best prison movies, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" were both written by the master of horror Stephen King. I hope you watch the "Shawshank redemption" next
I agree! As much as I love Michael Caine, he was playing the character he plays in most of his films. Haley Joel Osment also shined in The Sixth Sense.
33 yr old man who’s seen this movie an unreasonable amount of times.. I bawl like a baby every single time I watch this. The greatest acting of all time by everyone involved. Thank you both for showing your true emotions!
I don't shed 'em when they kill him. Always the lead up though when they let him know it will be in a couple days and they are struggling with coming to terms with what they have to do while trying to make the best of his last couple days. Makes you at least try to want to be better to people in your own day to day. At the very least.
In my humble opinion, this is one of the best movies ever made. Everyone gave award winning performances. The writing was perfect. I am almost 50 and this movie makes me cry every time I see it or a reaction to it. If this movie doesn't wash you away with emotion then there is something wrong with you.
I always thought that John didn't want the parents to know the truth. For John, it was better that they think a stranger came and murdered their children rather thank know that they invited the evil in themselves.
I turned 40 last month, not only does this movie still get me, but especially the speech between Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan about his judgement day. One of the best cinematic scenes of all time.
I often wonder, watching the end of this film, how long did Jon have to suffer and walk this earth, if just a little of his power keeps Paul alive and healthy for so long. When he says he's tired, tired of all the years on the road etc, I always picture hes been roaming for hundreds of years, taking in all the pain around him.
He didn't speak with an African accent but an uneducated Southern accent. The importation of new slaves from Africa was banned in 1808 although there were illegal shipments into the mid 1800s. In the movie it was hinted that he just showed up out of nowhere, but he had mid 1800 slave plantation mannerisms and speech. My guess is he was from that time. I haven't read the book so maybe I'm way off.
Anything is possible. This is fiction. Supernatural fiction at that. John could change and adapt to whichever culture his human form currently exists. But if you wish to make the analogy, “JC” was on earth for 33 years before he was executed.
Great reaction you two. This can be a tough watch but it’s worth it. It always gets me when Brutal says to John “feel how we feel, we don’t hate ya” 😢😢😢
This film always hits me hard because I got to know Michael Clarke Duncan a bit when he was a doorman in Chicago & I was younger & running around partying, he was a sweet kind man & this film just hits hard being that he really did pass away!!! RIP big man, you were a good man, thanks for the laughs & the memories!!!💔
Unfortunately the actual actor who played Wetmore, Doug Hutchinson, turned out to be a gross individual. He married his third wife when he was 51 and she was 16 in the year 2011 and it ended his career.
A man with the initials J.C. who is able to perform healing miracles and ends up being wrongly convicted to death. I wonder if this could be an allegory?🤔
1. I just found yall. 2. Carrying FOMO from childhood is WILD! 3. My guy right here seems cool af. 4. Pudgy, saying “Know” might be my favorite word ever.
In my top 5 Movies of all time. The actor playing Coffey did and AMAZING job, such a shame he didn't win an Oscar because it would have been WELL DESERVED!
Great reaction like always, love this movie. The late Michael Clark Duncan said this was the hardest role he had to prepare for. For emotional scenes, Michael Clarke Duncan would recall his father leaving him as a child. There are some fun-facts about it. Fifteen mice were used in the movie. Each spent months being trained to do different tricks. Coffey's bed was built shorter in order to make Michael Clarke Duncan look like a giant He also stated that he was genuinely scared when he had that shotgun pointed at him. I missed reading the books when they first came out and kinda wish I would have read them before watching the movie. Not many people realize at firsts that 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. (Recall the scene where John is watching his first-ever flicker show, and the light from the movie projector is illuminating his head from behind, just like a halo: The Christian symbolism is unmistakable) Keep up the good work.
Spartan's right! John's death, although tragic, is not something I won't be able to watch again (and I've seen this movie many times), because John did as much as he could, I'm sure. Not just what we saw on the Green Mile, but throughout his lifetime. He was tired, as he said, and ready to leave. That makes a huge difference. I always mention this, but Paul said about Mr. Jingles living so long, how much longer he had to live. Well, can you imagine how long John's lived? Stephen King is one of my favorite authors, and he's had a bad rap for years, for putting out some bad ones, but the man keeps delivering. Some of them are flops, and some are not, and then you have something like this. Which btw, was written episodically; on the fly. F'king brilliant. Great reaction!
In the book Del graped and killed a 15 year old girl in an alley. He tried to cover the crime by setting fire to an old mattress. The fire spread to an apt and a family of five perished in the flames.
" He's Square with the House". Percy didn't torture him because he hated his crimes. He tortured him because he laughed, made the dumb little song, and stood up to him.
I like to believe that Mr Jingles dies in the final shot of the movie. It sets a loose timeframe for Paul, it ends the green mile chapter of Paul’s life and in a movie about death it feels like it should end with a death. This movie breaks me almost every time. Great reaction guys
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, the journey of John Coffey is a gift and a curse to him. --------- He was just tired of absorbing all the suffering and hate in the world and wanted to end his time on this earth. He passed on a bit of himself to Tom Hanks, so we can see what JC faces. ----------- Such an amazing movie. Such deep concepts, ideas, moral conundrums. Some of the best writing expressed in Literature. Stephen King is a master level storyteller.
King and Darabont together facilitated two of the best movies to be put to film. This and Shawshank. May be equally great movies out there but none surpass. Especially in rewatchability.
the part that gets me everytime, is when Paul is asking John what he should do, "when God asks me why i killed one of his true Miricles, what do i say? it was my job" im not religious but that really does sum up the man Paul is, its a sign that he knows what he is doing is truely wrong and in their words job be damned. he knows he will have to live with making the wrong choice for the rest of his life.
Same. I am atheist but have utmost respect for those who believe and im very interested in christian mythology. Paul is like Paul the apostle in the bible. Wild Bill and Lacroix were like the people on the cross next to... Jesus Christ=J.C=John Coffey: a healer who was killed by people who didnt know
@@GullibleTargetexactly, it's that everyone is redeemable if they truly want it. The hate it gets turned into is literally the opposite of what Christ like, became. Yes he stood against the truly wicked, but yes.
@bassnazi4713 I find Jesus Christ to be a most interesting legendary figure. The teachings attributed to him,lay at the core of humanity. Very akin to the Buddhist outlook on life. Most people I know are religeous and when I talk to them about Christian philosophy they get all excited, thinking I have converted. But then I say 'nope." And that angers them a bit.
The Green Mile is up there with The Shawshank Redemption and Interstellar as 1 of the best movies ever. When a movie can hit you in the feels so hard you know, you know. 😥
this movie is just so good. I was 12 when this came out. Had it on the double VHS lol. stuck with me since then. I come back to watch it again every couple of years. "Im tried boss". that whole speech just hit different the older I got. RIP Mr Duncan.
You cant police someone's reactions. And maybe he is perfectly fine with not crying on camera? I could also say: it's sad you want to see him cry eventhough he doesn't cry on camera. There's plenty of people who react on youtube who cry😊
@@GullibleTarget Saying you wish a man didn't feel the need to pretend to not have feelings isn't the same as "policing" them. There's a big difference between not being emotional and trying to suppress your emotions because you think you "have to" due to societal expectations of your gender. The former is fine. The latter is not healthy, or even fair. It's not fair to expect men to be emotionless robots. They're humans. They have a right to feel sad and to cry without fear of judgment.
@@nebulousreactions Stop projecting your own fantasies onto others. How about you let spartan act and live like he want without you commenting on his way of life telling him hes not emotional enough.
@@nebulousreactions that has nothing to do with what i said. Thats your inner turmoil. And i was responding to the OP. But thank you for your reply. It was interesting but i stick to my original post. I also find you are going too deep. You don't know Spartan personally and how he prefers to present himself in front of a camera. Maybe it helps you if you imagine/fantasize that he cries in front of those he feels comfortable with? And hey; Pudgey was crying? I hope you feel better. Its really not that deep.
Pudge is like a plot divining rod. Almost subconsciously, she is doing a mental what if with every character, twist and turn in the movie. The fact that it manages not to be annoying is a testament to her charm (and Spartan’s patience). Great job as always guys. Keep it up!
Despite Sparts's mockery, Pudgey was actually spot on when she said we see Billy the Kid at the start of the movie, albeit we only see a close-up of his eyes and hear him threatening the girls.
The Green Mile feels like one of those movies that not a lot of people talk about any more but when anyone sees it they remember how amazing it was. I don't cry a lot watching films but this one will end me every single time. Also, can we appreciate what a perfect run Tom Hanks had in the 90's?
Sam Rockwell's voice was at the very beginning talking to the girls . Then it goes into the dog chasing scene. So Pudgy that's what was lingering in your mind while all this summed up at the end. Spartan. I agree interstellar was very emotional but something about an innocent ,sweet , childlike big man going to die after so much good he did daily just rips my heart out. And the guards do a fantastic job of displaying how different people react to his kindness. Some sceptical. Some in wonder but all are truly saddened at how unfair this is
54:45 i honestly believe john also showed Percy what wild bill did as he passed on the flies. I think thats why he was crying as he shot him, he was a mean guy but he had to be made to watch what he did with the dry sponge so i figure he has some sort of boundary.
Every once in a while a movie is made that is so close to perfect it goes straight to my 10 Greatest Movies of All Time list. The Green Mile is one of them.
Not only one of the best movies ever made, but also one of Stephen King's Best stories. The movie was remarkably true to the book, with obviously stellar results. You MUST, now watch The Shawshank Redemption, another King short story, just as beautifully told. It's the law here in the USA.
I always wondered how old John was. Just little of his power kept two beings alive for so long. How long was he wandering this earth to know that there is pain all over the world?
The ride of emotions from Spartan and Pudgey experienced from watching, " The Green Mile" just touched me so deeply and made me remember he wave of emotions I experienced as a first time watcher. Thanks for such a great reaction.
The actor who played "Brutal" is David Morse, I don't think he's been in anything you've posted on the channel. My best guess for something you may have seen him in is Disturbia with Shia LaBoeuf. He plays the neighbour. One of the other guards, Dean, is played by Barry Pepper who played Private Jackson (the sniper) in Saving Private Ryan. He's also in True Grit (2010) which is a great movie I'm sure will find it's way to the channel at some point.
Don’t leave out *Stand By Me* (1986). Both that film and *The Shawshank Redemption* (1994) were adapted from novellas originally published in a collection of four works that was titled, *Different Seasons* in 1982. The novellas’ titles the films were adapted from are, “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption,” and “The Body.” A third novella, “Apt Pupil,” was also adapted to an excellent film of the same title in 1998.
9:12 In the Stephen King novel the movie is adapted from, John Coffey is about 6'8", but Michael Clarke Duncan was 6'4", so he wore platform shoes for the closeup shots.
I honestly expected Pudgey to have a full blown Red Wedding-style meltdown with this one! 🤣 (Like I do every time I see it!) This is one of my favorite books of all time and they did an AMAZING job adapting it into a movie. Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption are extremely well done adaptations too.
I'm so glad you didn't edit the intro. Watching Pudgey lose her shit laughing was such a good palette cleanser before the movie. I find Coffey so relatable to myself. I am someone who actually suffers from hyper empathy disorder and unfortunately it is not an official diagnosis in the DSM-5 and so there isnt a lot of information officially available in terms of how it's defined, its prognosis, and available or effective treatment. Most people who say "im an empath" dont suffer from having hyper empathy. They are just someone who has the normal empathic response, but are simply more intune with recognizing their emotions and the emotional state of others. Hyper empathy, being a real empath, is characterized by the inability to regulate one's emotions as it relates to the presences of emotions from others. Basically what happens is the emotions from someone else essentially merge with your own, so much so that it results in an inability to distinguish what emotions are indeed your own, and what emotions came from someone else. As Coffey is connected to the world in a supernatural way, he understands this better than anyone and i can say, as someone not connected in that way (obviously), the way he describes it is so accurate it's frightening. Without being that connected i can confidently say that it is indeed "like glass in my head." It comes from the awareness of all the pain and suffering of others, regardless of whether or not we are in the presence of that suffering. We know they suffer and this awareness causes and unconscious and uncontrollable empathic response where we involuntarily imagine what it must be like for them to suffer the way they do. It is very difficult to cope with, at least for me personally, and i can attest to the fact that i myself contemplate wanting it to be over, to give my mind some peace away from all the hurt we cause each other, hurt we cause for no damn reason, for the stupidest of reasons, or for the worst of reasons..
1. YOU WILL CRY😭😭😭😭 2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production, so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie". 3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. (most likely a racial thing. It was 1935 South.) 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 (MCD) 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. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part. 7. Movie magic Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene. 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. BTW Kudos to Doug Hutchison for the great job of playing Percy. EVERYONE hates him.🤬 10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge. 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clarke Duncan. They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look taller. 12 The scene where John takes Mr. Jingles for safe keeping before Del's execution, they used a real mouse, and it pooped on Paul's shoulder, and he brushed it off. 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. (GOAT)🤩 15. Four words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!
I always thought Stephen king was low key making a connection with Coffey and Jesus. The whole both having initials j.c. When he says “you tell god the father”. The way he feels everything. The way he not only can heal and take away but the fact that he punished wild bill and pursey too. The way every time he heals it’s light and he’s afraid the dark. I think the scars on him are from each person he healed. I think this could be even deeper than it already is if you think about all the little things. Definitely one of the top 10 movies of all time.
Loool I was literally coming to the comments to type this... this story to me is basically "what if some of the Romans saw Jesus' miracles" set in modern(ish) times... The two thieves on either side of Jesus on the cross, one being good and one being evil. Clearly Dell & Wild Bill. He's enthically from a small group, living under foreign overlords. He speaks in a way that is difficult for said foreign overlords to understand. Not a different language, but still a clever way to do it. I'd imagine whoever was translating Jesus' Aramaic/Hebrew into Latin for Pilate was also using basic, everyday words & saying simple phrases to speed communication up. He takes illness & pain away specifically through touch, or at least some type of physical contact. He was tempted into avoiding the death that had been planned out for him, but he chose to die anyway
The entire movie is analogous to the road to cavalrey. Delacroix(of the cross) apologised for what he did, took care of an innocent mouse, was kind to his captors and was told that mr.Jingles would have a great life after he passes. In the crucifixion story, J.C. is crucified with two others. One of them asks J.C. he feels remorseful. And J.C tells him that 'god the father' has already forgiven him and is waiting to receive him in heaven. The other person next to J.C. is unrepentant and gets no salvation. Just like Wild Bill. The apostle Paul swore up and down that he would stick up for J.C if anything were to happen. When J.C. was carrying the cross; Paul was asked if he didnt know Jesus. Paul denied that he did. As J.C predicted. In this movie Paul knows John is god's miracle and that he is innocent but he says nothing. Because J.C willed it so. And just like the biblical Paul; he is riddled with guilt. In the bible J.C the resurrected appears before Paul and tells him he did nothing wrong. Without his silence, the crucifixtion would not have happened. And in crucifixtion of J.C human souls were saved. J.C. died to absolve the sins of others. John Coffee absolved everybody when he walked the mile.
Percy gives strong Joffrey vibes, & sadly Nick Fuentes is like a combo of both. That’s what makes Percy & Joffrey terrifying characters, they’re very real 🥺
When Spartan said "that guy's already pissing me off", 9:22 I laughed out loud knowing that this was actually pretty nice for Percy. That and Pudgy got so attached to Jon Coffey so early on I felt bad for her knowing what comes later . I always think of the "moths" as flecks of evil that can show as a variety of bad things from illness to criminal behavior. But then we're talking about a story by Steven King so what do I know. Just so you know, I've seen this movie about a dozen times. It hurts every time but it's just such a great movie I can't help it. I know the rhythm of the story well enough, I started getting teary eyed when John got to the Warden's house just knowing what you guys were about to experience (and Pudgy, I matched you tear for tear and I'm a cranky 65 year old man so Spartan, you've nothing to feel bad about).
They dont decide the frequency or amount of ads. TH-cam does. Depending on your location and time of day and your watch time, you will see more ads than you are used to. The algorithm knows you will keep watching S and P so they bombard you with ads. It could be different tomorrow
@roddo1955 it was just a joke lol. But it was definitely seriously annoying, I got three sets of 2 ads each in ten minutes, all during JC's execution 😭
I had to turn around and make sure I read the title right lol, I was like, "aww this made Pudgey cry and he sai... wait... boyfriend? Spartan??? Now this I gotta see" xD. I'm glad his masculinity isn't fragile enough to worry about showing emotion when it's valid to do so, this story is very moving. In ancient Sparta, tears of weakness were shunned, meaning when you're physically hurt, pain. But tears of joy, empathy, being moved were seen as a good thing, and didn't count so much so that despite there being many tears after a war victory, it was considered a "tearless victory" if no tear was shed in weakness. So to a Spartan, tears of loss, joy, empathy, movement didn't count as crying at all.
Like many others posting here, this old man has seen this movie (either through re-watching or through the countless reaction videos that I have seen) countless times. I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. An amazing movie and a great reaction, guys!! Top marks
Mercy was extended to the parents as well. John took the blame. The parents of the little girls never would have forgiven themselves knowing they unwittingly invited the murderer into their homes.
Man, what does it take for Spartan to shed a tear? Though you could see him struggle in this one. Now try and watch "Manchester by de sea" to complete the holy triad of sad movies alongside the "Green Mile" and "Interstellar", I think Spartan will find it particularly compelling.
As an English teacher, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to SPELL the way Pudgey says “I know”. Hahah. I knero… I knuooo, I knooou…. Love you guys, do squid game. ❤🇨🇦Ottawa
When I'm on my deathbed I want to hear Pudgey's laugh and see her laughing face to remember that life was beautiful and absolutely worth living!!!!!!! ❤️ It's the best!!! 👍
I know King is known as the master of horror but I've always loved his dramas more. I highly recommend The Shawshank Redemprion and Dolores Claiborne. I read Dolores Claiborne when the book was first released. Kathy Bates perfectly embodies Dolores. She should've won an Oscar for her performance in the film.
I saw this in the theater and there were plenty of grown men crying. This movie gets me every time! I had to wait for the credits to compose myself before I left the theater! The book is great as well. 17:09 did you guys recognize Billy Buck as the old man from The Last of Us that had the cabin in the woods with his wife that made Joel and Ellie soup? That fun little married couple? He was also in Dances with Wolves. Another must-see!
Graham Greene is the actor that portrayed Kicking Bird in *Dances With Wolves* and in this film, *The Green Mile* , his character’s name is Arlen Bitterbuck, not “Billy Buck.”
Stephen King is a Master storyteller! I have personally never thought of him as a Horror author. To me the majority his work is psychological thrillers. His books are always better than the movies because you know what the characters are thinking. Loved the reaction!
You two are charming! "The Green Mile," is a favourite movie of mine; I've seen it countless times and still thoroughly enjoyed watching along with you. It is actually adapted from a serial novel written by Steven King. Thank you for your wonderful presentation!
I didn't even realize this was based on a Stephen King novel when I first saw it. I was crying so much that I didn't pay attention to the credits, so I didn't catch it until the second time i watched it. 💜
What a great reaction! Watching The Green Mile definitely takes a toll emotionally. It is an amazing story by an amazing storyteller and beautifully acted throughout, but a heartbreaking film. This film really sheds a light on true goodness, true evil, and the heart-wrenching dilemma faced by men who know in their hearts that someone is innocent, but have no way to prove it. Add to that the suffering that John Coffey had to endure every day because of all the ugliness in the world. “I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' 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 or coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it - it's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?” John was clearly too good for this world!

Tom Hanks is on the Epstein list.
This movie is one that will haunt you. The character of John Coffey is one you'll never forget. Every character is perfectly cast, and the relationship that develops between John and the guards is incredibly touching. If John had not actually wanted to die, his fate would have been unbearable, but, when Paul offers to let him go, John lets him know that he's tired of all the pain and ready to go. It's also the only movie that isn't animated that has a mouse as a main character.
Spartan & Pudgey: "Interstellar was so emotional"
The Green Mile: "Hold my John Coffey"
😂😂😂
Now i can say my tears are from laughing. Thanks for that.
😂😂😂😂
gonna need some big hands to hold John Coffey
That's a lot of weight
RIP MICHAEL CLARK DUNCAN

He truly put in a once in a generation performance in this movie.

Fun fact. Two best prison movies, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" were both written by the master of horror Stephen King. I hope you watch the "Shawshank redemption" next
and both directed by Frank Darabont
@@heisenberg6197another master of his craft
Shawshank is a must watch!!!!!!
The adapted screen write and direction was done by Frank Darabont.
@@heisenberg6197 can be same universe tho.
Michael Clarke Duncan was robbed of an Oscar that year, such an amazing performance.
I agree! As much as I love Michael Caine, he was playing the character he plays in most of his films. Haley Joel Osment also shined in The Sixth Sense.
33 yr old man who’s seen this movie an unreasonable amount of times.. I bawl like a baby every single time I watch this. The greatest acting of all time by everyone involved. Thank you both for showing your true emotions!
Whether man or woman... if this movie doesn't bring tears to your eyes at some point, then you have neither a heart nor empathy.
I don't shed 'em when they kill him. Always the lead up though when they let him know it will be in a couple days and they are struggling with coming to terms with what they have to do while trying to make the best of his last couple days. Makes you at least try to want to be better to people in your own day to day. At the very least.
26 yo man. Here which you
3 things were certain with this reaction
1 - Both getting emotional and cry
2 - Both would absolutely HATE percy
3 - falling in love with John
I have to give props to the actor who played Percy. He did a phenomenal job making the character absolutely loathsome.
In my humble opinion, this is one of the best movies ever made. Everyone gave award winning performances. The writing was perfect. I am almost 50 and this movie makes me cry every time I see it or a reaction to it. If this movie doesn't wash you away with emotion then there is something wrong with you.
I always thought that John didn't want the parents to know the truth. For John, it was better that they think a stranger came and murdered their children rather thank know that they invited the evil in themselves.
This is brilliant! I never thought about it this way. He's truly an angel 😇
Exactly! The parents would never have forgiven themselves. Brilliant analysis.❤
Or maybe it's because they're racist 😗
Bull crap
Saw this when released in cinemas. They left the lights down at the end to let everyone "recover" - and by god it was needed :)
Same thing at my theater. I've only ever seen that with this movie and Saving Private Ryan.
Hey you two its been a while 😊 I love this movie
Edit: Im also here for Pudgy's "NAAAAAURRRRRR" 😂😂
Its so funny. Every time 😅
@@BennyBlancoNLI CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT, I NEVER KNEW NO HAD 3 SYLLABLES!!! BLESS HER!!! ☺️
John Coffey is empathy in human form.
Also I think his initials are no coincidence
@@nephastgweiz1022Exactly. “JC” is redemption & salvation, to extend the analogy.
I turned 40 last month, not only does this movie still get me, but especially the speech between Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan about his judgement day. One of the best cinematic scenes of all time.
He calls himself Spartan... Kind of a macho persona he's playing.
@@jeffrogers2180Some people dont feel as much. They try , but it isnt in them
John Coffee's lawyer that Tom Hanks went to talk to is Gary Sinise. He and Tom Hanks were in two other great movies - Apollo 13 and Forest Gump.
“Like the drink, only *not* spelled the same.”
Also, Tom Hanks and Barry Pepper were in *Saving Private Ryan* together.
I often wonder, watching the end of this film, how long did Jon have to suffer and walk this earth, if just a little of his power keeps Paul alive and healthy for so long. When he says he's tired, tired of all the years on the road etc, I always picture hes been roaming for hundreds of years, taking in all the pain around him.
Must have been at least hundreds ✌🏾
Probably been here for a long time
He didn't speak with an African accent but an uneducated Southern accent. The importation of new slaves from Africa was banned in 1808 although there were illegal shipments into the mid 1800s. In the movie it was hinted that he just showed up out of nowhere, but he had mid 1800 slave plantation mannerisms and speech. My guess is he was from that time. I haven't read the book so maybe I'm way off.
Anything is possible. This is fiction. Supernatural fiction at that. John could change and adapt to whichever culture his human form currently exists.
But if you wish to make the analogy, “JC” was on earth for 33 years before he was executed.
@@Ernwaldo This is what I got from his character too
Great reaction you two.
This can be a tough watch but it’s worth it.
It always gets me when Brutal says to John “feel how we feel, we don’t hate ya” 😢😢😢
Micheal Clark Duncan could make you cry or laugh or even just be intimidating. It's truly a great loss.
Stephen King once again proving he’s a literary national treasure. Beautiful storytelling and excellent acting made this movie a real masterpiece.
This film always hits me hard because I got to know Michael Clarke Duncan a bit when he was a doorman in Chicago & I was younger & running around partying, he was a sweet kind man & this film just hits hard being that he really did pass away!!! RIP big man, you were a good man, thanks for the laughs & the memories!!!💔
Before we had Joffery Baratheon in Game of Thrones to despise we had Percy Wetmore to curse at lol.
Unfortunately the actual actor who played Wetmore, Doug Hutchinson, turned out to be a gross individual. He married his third wife when he was 51 and she was 16 in the year 2011 and it ended his career.
@johnwolfe7596 whoa what the hell. I had no idea, that's just sick.
A man with the initials J.C. who is able to perform healing miracles and ends up being wrongly convicted to death.
I wonder if this could be an allegory?🤔
People with those same initials reading this.💀😂
@@jeffreycleijne3079are they being sentenced to death?
@@AL-fl4jk I would hope not haha.
@@isaacruiz3991 yeah jesus ain't white neither
Stephen King claims that the JC initials are a coincidence and that Coffey is a fallen angel. “Like he dropped out of the sky”.
1. I just found yall. 2. Carrying FOMO from childhood is WILD! 3. My guy right here seems cool af. 4. Pudgy, saying “Know” might be my favorite word ever.
Tear up every time man,
Incredible acting
In my top 5 Movies of all time. The actor playing Coffey did and AMAZING job, such a shame he didn't win an Oscar because it would have been WELL DESERVED!
Great reaction like always, love this movie. The late Michael Clark Duncan said this was the hardest role he had to prepare for. For emotional scenes, Michael Clarke Duncan would recall his father leaving him as a child. There are some fun-facts about it. Fifteen mice were used in the movie. Each spent months being trained to do different tricks.
Coffey's bed was built shorter in order to make Michael Clarke Duncan look like a giant He also stated that he was genuinely scared when he had that shotgun pointed at him. I missed reading the books when they first came out and kinda wish I would have read them before watching the movie.
Not many people realize at firsts that 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.
(Recall the scene where John is watching his first-ever flicker show, and the light from the movie projector is illuminating his head from behind, just like a halo: The Christian symbolism is unmistakable) Keep up the good work.
Pudgey laughing at 3:33 without making any kind of sound is simply hilarious to me. I live for moments like this one.
Spartan's right! John's death, although tragic, is not something I won't be able to watch again (and I've seen this movie many times), because John did as much as he could, I'm sure. Not just what we saw on the Green Mile, but throughout his lifetime. He was tired, as he said, and ready to leave. That makes a huge difference. I always mention this, but Paul said about Mr. Jingles living so long, how much longer he had to live. Well, can you imagine how long John's lived?
Stephen King is one of my favorite authors, and he's had a bad rap for years, for putting out some bad ones, but the man keeps delivering. Some of them are flops, and some are not, and then you have something like this. Which btw, was written episodically; on the fly. F'king brilliant.
Great reaction!
In the book Del graped and killed a 15 year old girl in an alley. He tried to cover the crime by setting fire to an old mattress. The fire spread to an apt and a family of five perished in the flames.
" He's Square with the House". Percy didn't torture him because he hated his crimes. He tortured him because he laughed, made the dumb little song, and stood up to him.
I kinda dislike that they left that out of the movie, because viewers shouldn't be nearly as sympathetic towards him as they tend to be.
Arlen Bitterbuck was there because he killed a man in a drunken brawl.
Tough watch... everything in the story is outstanding!... One film that lasts and stays with everyone who have watch it!... Sublime!
I like to believe that Mr Jingles dies in the final shot of the movie. It sets a loose timeframe for Paul, it ends the green mile chapter of Paul’s life and in a movie about death it feels like it should end with a death.
This movie breaks me almost every time. Great reaction guys
Hey Spartan and Pudgey, the journey of John Coffey is a gift and a curse to him. --------- He was just tired of absorbing all the suffering and hate in the world and wanted to end his time on this earth. He passed on a bit of himself to Tom Hanks, so we can see what JC faces. ----------- Such an amazing movie. Such deep concepts, ideas, moral conundrums. Some of the best writing expressed in Literature. Stephen King is a master level storyteller.
King and Darabont together facilitated two of the best movies to be put to film. This and Shawshank. May be equally great movies out there but none surpass. Especially in rewatchability.
the part that gets me everytime, is when Paul is asking John what he should do, "when God asks me why i killed one of his true Miricles, what do i say? it was my job" im not religious but that really does sum up the man Paul is, its a sign that he knows what he is doing is truely wrong and in their words job be damned. he knows he will have to live with making the wrong choice for the rest of his life.
Same. I am atheist but have utmost respect for those who believe and im very interested in christian mythology. Paul is like Paul the apostle in the bible. Wild Bill and Lacroix were like the people on the cross next to...
Jesus Christ=J.C=John Coffey: a healer who was killed by people who didnt know
@@GullibleTarget*Delacroix, Eduard Delacroix.
Portrayed brilliantly by Michael Jeter. R.I.P.
@@GullibleTargetexactly, it's that everyone is redeemable if they truly want it. The hate it gets turned into is literally the opposite of what Christ like, became. Yes he stood against the truly wicked, but yes.
@@Ernwaldo indeed Delacroix...it means 'of the cross'.
@bassnazi4713 I find Jesus Christ to be a most interesting legendary figure. The teachings attributed to him,lay at the core of humanity. Very akin to the Buddhist outlook on life. Most people I know are religeous and when I talk to them about Christian philosophy they get all excited, thinking I have converted. But then I say 'nope." And that angers them a bit.
Love the reactions, and Pudgey the dialect that adds all the "R's" to what you are saying I love! It always makes me smile!
The Green Mile is up there with The Shawshank Redemption and Interstellar as 1 of the best movies ever.
When a movie can hit you in the feels so hard you know, you know. 😥
this movie is just so good. I was 12 when this came out. Had it on the double VHS lol. stuck with me since then. I come back to watch it again every couple of years. "Im tried boss". that whole speech just hit different the older I got. RIP Mr Duncan.
I haven't seen any comments on the accent but Del is Cajun. That's a pretty typical Louisiana Cajun accent
I wish Spartan would let himself be carried away by his emotions more often and stop pretending that he is too manly to cry 😅 no one is going to judge
You cant police someone's reactions. And maybe he is perfectly fine with not crying on camera? I could also say: it's sad you want to see him cry eventhough he doesn't cry on camera. There's plenty of people who react on youtube who cry😊
@@GullibleTarget Saying you wish a man didn't feel the need to pretend to not have feelings isn't the same as "policing" them. There's a big difference between not being emotional and trying to suppress your emotions because you think you "have to" due to societal expectations of your gender. The former is fine. The latter is not healthy, or even fair. It's not fair to expect men to be emotionless robots. They're humans. They have a right to feel sad and to cry without fear of judgment.
@@nebulousreactions Stop projecting your own fantasies onto others. How about you let spartan act and live like he want without you commenting on his way of life telling him hes not emotional enough.
How do you know he isn't neurodivergent or something?
He gives good commentary I personally think
@@nebulousreactions that has nothing to do with what i said. Thats your inner turmoil. And i was responding to the OP. But thank you for your reply. It was interesting but i stick to my original post. I also find you are going too deep. You don't know Spartan personally and how he prefers to present himself in front of a camera. Maybe it helps you if you imagine/fantasize that he cries in front of those he feels comfortable with? And hey; Pudgey was crying? I hope you feel better. Its really not that deep.
Pudge is like a plot divining rod. Almost subconsciously, she is doing a mental what if with every character, twist and turn in the movie. The fact that it manages not to be annoying is a testament to her charm (and Spartan’s patience). Great job as always guys. Keep it up!
Despite Sparts's mockery, Pudgey was actually spot on when she said we see Billy the Kid at the start of the movie, albeit we only see a close-up of his eyes and hear him threatening the girls.
The Green Mile feels like one of those movies that not a lot of people talk about any more but when anyone sees it they remember how amazing it was. I don't cry a lot watching films but this one will end me every single time. Also, can we appreciate what a perfect run Tom Hanks had in the 90's?
This is an excellent film. The plot is brilliant and the acting is top quality. Spartan and Pudgey's reaction, as usual, is genuine and emotional.
So stoked to see you react to this, one of my top 3 favourite films ever
Sam Rockwell's voice was at the very beginning talking to the girls . Then it goes into the dog chasing scene. So Pudgy that's what was lingering in your mind while all this summed up at the end.
Spartan. I agree interstellar was very emotional but something about an innocent ,sweet , childlike big man going to die after so much good he did daily just rips my heart out. And the guards do a fantastic job of displaying how different people react to his kindness. Some sceptical. Some in wonder but all are truly saddened at how unfair this is
Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great deduction.👍
These are the greatest accents on TH-cam. That's what I mostly took from this reaction. HAHAHAHA
54:45 i honestly believe john also showed Percy what wild bill did as he passed on the flies. I think thats why he was crying as he shot him, he was a mean guy but he had to be made to watch what he did with the dry sponge so i figure he has some sort of boundary.
Every once in a while a movie is made that is so close to perfect it goes straight to my 10 Greatest Movies of All Time list. The Green Mile is one of them.
Not only one of the best movies ever made, but also one of Stephen King's Best stories. The movie was remarkably true to the book, with obviously stellar results.
You MUST, now watch The Shawshank Redemption, another King short story, just as beautifully told. It's the law here in the USA.
The Green Mile aka depression: the movie, really glad you decided to give it a shot
there was a bit at begining when he was dreaming and you heard wild bill
telling kids to be quiet
John was an angel… he had the innocence of a child too
The faces when Jon helps for the first time.... so worth the watch
I always wondered how old John was. Just little of his power kept two beings alive for so long. How long was he wandering this earth to know that there is pain all over the world?
The actor that played Wild Billy put in one hell of a performance.
Excellent Reaction Guys! Love to see you guys grow emotionally through these watches. Makes you think about life, those type of movies doesn't it ?
55:12 - love this editing with Pudgey's eyes darting
Pudgey’s spontaneous laughter for no reason is so cute. I bet she brightens up anyone’s day in her orbit ❤❤
49:59 my mom can't watch this movie for this scene, she went for a cancer treatment and this part of of the movie brought memories at the hospital
The ride of emotions from Spartan and Pudgey experienced from watching, " The Green Mile" just touched me so deeply and made me remember he wave of emotions I experienced as a first time watcher. Thanks for such a great reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching 🙏🏼❤️
Steven King can really write this engaging stories, The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption are MUST SEE movies!!!
The actor who played "Brutal" is David Morse, I don't think he's been in anything you've posted on the channel. My best guess for something you may have seen him in is Disturbia with Shia LaBoeuf. He plays the neighbour.
One of the other guards, Dean, is played by Barry Pepper who played Private Jackson (the sniper) in Saving Private Ryan. He's also in True Grit (2010) which is a great movie I'm sure will find it's way to the channel at some point.
This and Shawshank Redemption are some of the best Stephen King adaptations! Great reaction!
Don’t leave out *Stand By Me* (1986).
Both that film and *The Shawshank Redemption* (1994) were adapted from novellas originally published in a collection of four works that was titled, *Different Seasons* in 1982.
The novellas’ titles the films were adapted from are, “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption,” and “The Body.”
A third novella, “Apt Pupil,” was also adapted to an excellent film of the same title in 1998.
Don't forget Maximum Overdrive! /s
Same exact spot got me as well. When he asks John about what he’s going to say on the day of his judgement to God…..that just rips me up every time.
9:12 In the Stephen King novel the movie is adapted from, John Coffey is about 6'8", but Michael Clarke Duncan was 6'4", so he wore platform shoes for the closeup shots.
I honestly expected Pudgey to have a full blown Red Wedding-style meltdown with this one! 🤣 (Like I do every time I see it!) This is one of my favorite books of all time and they did an AMAZING job adapting it into a movie. Stand By Me and Shawshank Redemption are extremely well done adaptations too.
Those parents didn’t know that man would kill their children. They were as innocent as John.
"if a man truly regrets what he's done, he might get to go back to the time happiest for him" watch dances with wolves. Love from Wales ✌
I really love the beginning! Your laugh Pudgey make my day! Thank you! 😆 And yes, Spartans emotions / feelings were easy to see. Well done!
Jeez Spartan I think you absolutely nailed it in your understanding of it normally it's Pudgey who gets the emotional stuff 😮😂
Pudgey's laugh makes me happy
I'm so glad you didn't edit the intro. Watching Pudgey lose her shit laughing was such a good palette cleanser before the movie.
I find Coffey so relatable to myself. I am someone who actually suffers from hyper empathy disorder and unfortunately it is not an official diagnosis in the DSM-5 and so there isnt a lot of information officially available in terms of how it's defined, its prognosis, and available or effective treatment. Most people who say "im an empath" dont suffer from having hyper empathy. They are just someone who has the normal empathic response, but are simply more intune with recognizing their emotions and the emotional state of others. Hyper empathy, being a real empath, is characterized by the inability to regulate one's emotions as it relates to the presences of emotions from others. Basically what happens is the emotions from someone else essentially merge with your own, so much so that it results in an inability to distinguish what emotions are indeed your own, and what emotions came from someone else. As Coffey is connected to the world in a supernatural way, he understands this better than anyone and i can say, as someone not connected in that way (obviously), the way he describes it is so accurate it's frightening. Without being that connected i can confidently say that it is indeed "like glass in my head." It comes from the awareness of all the pain and suffering of others, regardless of whether or not we are in the presence of that suffering. We know they suffer and this awareness causes and unconscious and uncontrollable empathic response where we involuntarily imagine what it must be like for them to suffer the way they do.
It is very difficult to cope with, at least for me personally, and i can attest to the fact that i myself contemplate wanting it to be over, to give my mind some peace away from all the hurt we cause each other, hurt we cause for no damn reason, for the stupidest of reasons, or for the worst of reasons..
"we're gonna make Pudgy cry!" Jim Jeffries
I never realized how much pissing is a recurring theme in this film. But it’s okay, this movie will always be “number one” in my heart.
1. YOU WILL CRY😭😭😭😭
2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production, so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie".
3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. (most likely a racial thing. It was 1935 South.)
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 (MCD) 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. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part.
7. Movie magic Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene.
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. BTW Kudos to Doug Hutchison for the great job of playing Percy. EVERYONE hates him.🤬
10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge.
11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clarke Duncan. They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look taller.
12 The scene where John takes Mr. Jingles for safe keeping before Del's execution, they used a real mouse, and it pooped on Paul's shoulder, and he brushed it off.
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. (GOAT)🤩
15. Four words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!
The way pudgey says her " O's" Is priceless 😂
This is a beautiful but tragic story. I lost my composure the first time seeing this. Glad you guys watched it!
I always thought Stephen king was low key making a connection with Coffey and Jesus. The whole both having initials j.c. When he says “you tell god the father”. The way he feels everything. The way he not only can heal and take away but the fact that he punished wild bill and pursey too. The way every time he heals it’s light and he’s afraid the dark. I think the scars on him are from each person he healed. I think this could be even deeper than it already is if you think about all the little things. Definitely one of the top 10 movies of all time.
I'm not deep into Stephen King lore but I am assuming there are Dark Tower connections. Something like Mother Abigail in The Stand.
@@vooptr yeah he's more the regular Kingverse 'angel' allegory. Lots of examples throughout his work, Mother being a great example
Loool I was literally coming to the comments to type this... this story to me is basically "what if some of the Romans saw Jesus' miracles" set in modern(ish) times...
The two thieves on either side of Jesus on the cross, one being good and one being evil. Clearly Dell & Wild Bill.
He's enthically from a small group, living under foreign overlords.
He speaks in a way that is difficult for said foreign overlords to understand. Not a different language, but still a clever way to do it. I'd imagine whoever was translating Jesus' Aramaic/Hebrew into Latin for Pilate was also using basic, everyday words & saying simple phrases to speed communication up.
He takes illness & pain away specifically through touch, or at least some type of physical contact.
He was tempted into avoiding the death that had been planned out for him, but he chose to die anyway
He also says "Angels just like up in Heaven" as if he has been there
The entire movie is analogous to the road to cavalrey. Delacroix(of the cross) apologised for what he did, took care of an innocent mouse, was kind to his captors and was told that mr.Jingles would have a great life after he passes. In the crucifixion story, J.C. is crucified with two others. One of them asks J.C. he feels remorseful. And J.C tells him that 'god the father' has already forgiven him and is waiting to receive him in heaven. The other person next to J.C. is unrepentant and gets no salvation. Just like Wild Bill. The apostle Paul swore up and down that he would stick up for J.C if anything were to happen. When J.C. was carrying the cross; Paul was asked if he didnt know Jesus. Paul denied that he did. As J.C predicted. In this movie Paul knows John is god's miracle and that he is innocent but he says nothing. Because J.C willed it so. And just like the biblical Paul; he is riddled with guilt. In the bible J.C the resurrected appears before Paul and tells him he did nothing wrong. Without his silence, the crucifixtion would not have happened. And in crucifixtion of J.C human souls were saved. J.C. died to absolve the sins of others. John Coffee absolved everybody when he walked the mile.
"He needs to get fired." Got me lol. Fired from life if that's what you mean.
Percy gives strong Joffrey vibes, & sadly Nick Fuentes is like a combo of both. That’s what makes Percy & Joffrey terrifying characters, they’re very real 🥺
When Spartan said "that guy's already pissing me off", 9:22 I laughed out loud knowing that this was actually pretty nice for Percy. That and Pudgy got so attached to Jon Coffey so early on I felt bad for her knowing what comes later .
I always think of the "moths" as flecks of evil that can show as a variety of bad things from illness to criminal behavior. But then we're talking about a story by Steven King so what do I know.
Just so you know, I've seen this movie about a dozen times. It hurts every time but it's just such a great movie I can't help it. I know the rhythm of the story well enough, I started getting teary eyed when John got to the Warden's house just knowing what you guys were about to experience (and Pudgy, I matched you tear for tear and I'm a cranky 65 year old man so Spartan, you've nothing to feel bad about).
When Pudgy at the beginning does that silent laughing of hers , she looks just like this emoji
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Definitely one of the saddest movies of all time, and one of the greatest. Look forward to crying with y'all when I get back home from work. 💜
you guys rock ,the banter hits home with me and my lady always good to chirp at each other and still have the love also , cheers from Canada .🇨🇦
Oh god this intro
Pudgy’s perfect
Spartan is her balance it’s all good stuff 😂
TH-cam: How many ads would you like on this video?
S&P: Yes
They dont decide the frequency or amount of ads. TH-cam does. Depending on your location and time of day and your watch time, you will see more ads than you are used to. The algorithm knows you will keep watching S and P so they bombard you with ads. It could be different tomorrow
@roddo1955 it was just a joke lol. But it was definitely seriously annoying, I got three sets of 2 ads each in ten minutes, all during JC's execution 😭
I had to turn around and make sure I read the title right lol, I was like, "aww this made Pudgey cry and he sai... wait... boyfriend? Spartan??? Now this I gotta see" xD. I'm glad his masculinity isn't fragile enough to worry about showing emotion when it's valid to do so, this story is very moving. In ancient Sparta, tears of weakness were shunned, meaning when you're physically hurt, pain. But tears of joy, empathy, being moved were seen as a good thing, and didn't count so much so that despite there being many tears after a war victory, it was considered a "tearless victory" if no tear was shed in weakness. So to a Spartan, tears of loss, joy, empathy, movement didn't count as crying at all.
whenever there is a plottwist in anything you guys watch pudgey will always go without fail "I HAD A SMALL FEELING!!!" xD
Wild Bill's voice was there in the beginning, just before Paul opened his eyes. You heard him talking to the sisters.
Like many others posting here, this old man has seen this movie (either through re-watching or through the countless reaction videos that I have seen) countless times. I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. An amazing movie and a great reaction, guys!! Top marks
When i first saw your guys' sneaky snake tier list, i knew you mustve not seen the green mile because i didnt see percy at the top
Mercy was extended to the parents as well. John took the blame. The parents of the little girls never would have forgiven themselves knowing they unwittingly invited the murderer into their homes.
Man, what does it take for Spartan to shed a tear? Though you could see him struggle in this one. Now try and watch "Manchester by de sea" to complete the holy triad of sad movies alongside the "Green Mile" and "Interstellar", I think Spartan will find it particularly compelling.
You two are such lovely people. Cheers.
As an English teacher, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to SPELL the way Pudgey says “I know”. Hahah. I knero… I knuooo, I knooou…. Love you guys, do squid game. ❤🇨🇦Ottawa
When I'm on my deathbed I want to hear Pudgey's laugh and see her laughing face to remember that life was beautiful and absolutely worth living!!!!!!! ❤️ It's the best!!! 👍
❤️❤️❤️
I know King is known as the master of horror but I've always loved his dramas more. I highly recommend The Shawshank Redemprion and Dolores Claiborne. I read Dolores Claiborne when the book was first released. Kathy Bates perfectly embodies Dolores. She should've won an Oscar for her performance in the film.
I saw this in the theater and there were plenty of grown men crying. This movie gets me every time! I had to wait for the credits to compose myself before I left the theater! The book is great as well. 17:09 did you guys recognize Billy Buck as the old man from The Last of Us that had the cabin in the woods with his wife that made Joel and Ellie soup? That fun little married couple? He was also in Dances with Wolves. Another must-see!
Graham Greene is the actor that portrayed Kicking Bird in *Dances With Wolves* and in this film, *The Green Mile* , his character’s name is Arlen Bitterbuck, not “Billy Buck.”
Stephen King is a Master storyteller! I have personally never thought of him as a Horror author. To me the majority his work is psychological thrillers. His books are always better than the movies because you know what the characters are thinking. Loved the reaction!
You two are charming! "The Green Mile," is a favourite movie of mine; I've seen it countless times and still thoroughly enjoyed watching along with you. It is actually adapted from a serial novel written by Steven King. Thank you for your wonderful presentation!
Mr Jingles was sent to comfort Paul; to walk with him down the mile at the end
I didn't even realize this was based on a Stephen King novel when I first saw it. I was crying so much that I didn't pay attention to the credits, so I didn't catch it until the second time i watched it. 💜
What a great reaction! Watching The Green Mile definitely takes a toll emotionally. It is an amazing story by an amazing storyteller and beautifully acted throughout, but a heartbreaking film. This film really sheds a light on true goodness, true evil, and the heart-wrenching dilemma faced by men who know in their hearts that someone is innocent, but have no way to prove it. Add to that the suffering that John Coffey had to endure every day because of all the ugliness in the world.
“I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' 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 or coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it - it's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?” John was clearly too good for this world!
