First off, I love watching your movie reactions. Your attention to the details is very entertaining. I have seen many reaction videos about this movie, and I usually get annoyed by people not catching the important points that contribute to the story. Your video had none of that, you paid close attention and picked up on all of the cues, in my opinion. Well done! Thank you for presenting your reaction!
3:12 "You shoulda took the day off, gone to see the doctor." It's 1935. There's not a whole lot the doctor can do for UTI. _Nowadays,_ the antibiotics you need to treat it are available all _over_ the place and the treatment is fairly straightforward. You can get 'em at _hospitals,_ in _clinics,_ in _pharmacies,_ it probably won't be long before you can get 'em in _banks._ But in 1935, people who even knew they _existed_ were few and far between.
I didn't feel like crying today but had to watch this. Paul's situation in the end was so heartbreaking. Oh and sure, I would watch a rewatch of Forest Gump.
An interesting point that I have learned through watching reactions to this movie is something that can point to how long John Coffey was actually walking the Earth before this encounter that brought him to Green Mile!! When they are leaving the prison to take John to the warden's wife the first thing John does is looks at is the sky and points to "its Cassie, the lady in the rocking chair!" He's referring to the constellation Cassiopeia which runaway slaves used as navigation in the days of the underground railroad!!😮😮 So that would explain some of the scars that we see on John Coffey!! He has been around since at least the times of slavery!! Personally, I think the message is that John Coffey was basically the second coming of Jesus!! There are many different little Easter eggs and clues that point to that being true!! One scene that never fails to get me bawling in tears is the scene when the warden's wife wakes up and says to John Coffey that she had a dream that they found each other in the dark!! I cannot watch that scene, no matter how many times I've seen it, without crying!!😢
The problem with that theory is that people back in 1935 would know about the rocking chair because there were still people who were in slavery still alive at that time so it would have been common knowledge among black people in the south.
@texvor6949 actually in the book it points to john being so much older than what he seems with literally no recent record of him at all. The book is incredible.
@@texvor6949- A child born in 1865 would have been 70 in 1935, so while there may have been people still living who were slaves previously, they were likely far fewer than I think you believe. It is strongly implied that John Coffey was on earth for a long time. Remember, Mr. Jingles was 64 at the end of the film, and Paul Edgecomb was 108, and they only got a PART of the power that John Coffey had. Who knows how old he was. Stephen King has also basically said that John Coffey is intentionally an allegory for Jesus Christ.
This movie is always an 11 out of 10!!! Thank you so much for your intelligent reaction!!! I would love to see you react to more current shows, but I also respect the classics! 😊
Watching new movies is sort of like fishing. Sometimes it's a big fish, sometimes it's a little one. Seeing people watch The Green Mile is seeing them not having brought a bucket big enough.
Nice editing skills. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed spending time with you. Will be watching Shawshank next for sure. It was next up on my list but then this popped up... All the best!
Because you asked, the actor that plays Dell (Michael Jeter) had a long career with many great parts. One of my favorite appearances of his is in the western Open Range which is an excellent movie with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall. Would love to see you react to that one. Great video!
First time here. I love when reactors do this move. The Green Mile has had such a profound effect on me. This was the second of three movies that Tom Hanks and Gary Sinese acted in together. The first one being Forrest Gump and the third, Apollo 13.
I really enjoyed this video reaction. The highlight for me was watching this soft hearted sweet young lady when she smiled. I waited through the reaction just to see that. I like her personality she keeps it real and doesn't ruin the video with too much talking. I am an old man who now has a crush.
You're beautiful in every way Court! Loved the video. Anything Stephen King is worth watching! Other favorites of mine from Stephen King that were made into movies would be the Dark Tower series, The Stand, and the Myst. So any of those that you haven't watched would be good. The Stand, I'm thinking of the miniseries from when I was in high school, 1994. Can't speak to the the 2020 one because I haven't seen it. 🙂
Love your videos, I like that the reactions seem genuine and don't feel like there's an editor in the background holding up a card that says "CRY" or "LAUGH" like it does with some others.
Nobody is prepared for this story the first time they see the film or read the book. But if you can read or watch it enough, it won't make the feels go away, but you can get enough distance, you'll learn to appreciate how good the story is in both media. The book is more detailed, of course, but the screenplay is one of the best adaptations ever. Same for Shawshank and The Mist. My fantasy duo for Stephen King and Frank Darabont is a remake of The Shining as the original novel was written. Darabont's direction and screenplay. There was a three part miniseries King did on his own, but on the balance he's not very adept at directing his own stories. Anyway, the audiobook is up on a couple of TH-cam channels for the time being, but act fast if you want to hear all of it. Good reaction and keep up the good work!🧓🎭📽️💖
Your running commentary of Forrest Gump (including one or two scenes you may have forgotten) would be very pleasant to consume, and I mean that sincerely. You won't be surprised, but you will be able to express a deeper understanding of the story, and it's my experience that the enjoyment and emotional reactions to Forrest Gump can survive across dozens of viewings.
Noone could play john except Michael Clarke Duncan . May he rest in peace. I was 11 years old when i first saw this movie back in 2000. I had school the next day but this caught my attention. I saw the whole movie and when johns death came on i cried like the kid that i was. Till this day i still shed tears when i see him walking towards his death.
Whether you're watching this movie for the first time or reading the serial novel for the first time, you're never prepared for how it unfolds. You know it's going to go somewhere since it's Stephen King, but this one is very different from most of his other work. Having read it when it first came out at the recommendation of my roommate, I knew what was going to happen in the movie..... yeah, that didn't help. Between Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks, you're going to get teared and choked up. Another great Stephen King adaptation is Stand By Me.... and then, since that puts us into the realm of "coming of age" stories, Dead Poet's Society is another great movie (and probably one of Robin Williams' best performances of his entire career).
Hi, I think you should watch Gump because another thing that happens is life experience will change how you feel about it. I felt different at 13 when I saw it in theaters then at 37, I had much more attachment to the movie.
7:19 "And he's _huge,_ girl. Biggest dude I've ever seen." It's a defining trait of John Coffey that he stands 6'8". Of course, they had to pull a _few_ camera tricks to convey that with the late Michael Clarke Duncan, but not many. _He_ stood 6'5".
I was watching your reaction and everything you said during the movie I thought when I watched it the first time. I do the same things like answer questions and tell ppl things knowing they can’t hear me 😂😂😂
Gump is good. I seen it a dozen times or more and watched at least the same amount of reactions. I'm interested to see how many of the cross historical references people pick up on in the background and things like that such as when he's in Kennedy's bathroom. The picture of Marilyn Monroe again, some people of certain generations don't understand that...
Have you noticed that whenever John refers to Del,...he ALWAYS includes Mr. Jingles..?!.. "Del and Mr. Jingles" It literally puts a broader meaning to the phrase "All Lives Matter" Even for the people that thought they disliked rodents, before watching this movie. .
Yes, the movie is set in the early to mid 1930s and about the only thing a doctor could give for a UTI were sulpha-tabs (Sulphur tablets) which were just about as bad as the infection. 13:46, In that time period it was the duty of the "man of the house" to preside over the family and any important business.
Sulfa is not “sulphur tablets.” 🙄 Sulfa is short for Sulfonamide, which is a class of medicine that contains sulfur, but it’s not just “sulphur tablets.”
At the time, going to the doctor wouldn't have done much. The doctor would have said drink a lot of fluids, maybe some juice. He would have given them some sulfa drugs, which would have done next to nothing, and everyone would pray that all that would work. We didn't have any real defense against infection. On a battlefield, more people died from infections from non-fatal gunshots then from fatal gunshots. Some shrapnel could hit you in the leg, and you would die from an infection later on. Around that time, penicillin did start to become used widespread in hospitals, but it's doubtful that in Podunk Louisiana, they would get it that early.
I'm not sure whether to recommend you see _Forrest Gump._ You say you saw it ten years ago, but you didn't recognize Gary Sinise. He and Tom Hanks have costarred in three movies, together. That one, _Apollo 13,_ and this one. I also recommend _Apollo 13,_ by the way.
F.Y.I. regarding the death row residents, to give the pertinent scenes context: A) The Cherokee got into a drunken brawl over a pair of SHOES, of all things. He crushed another man's skull with a piece of concrete. B) The Cajun committed rape, arson, and multiple murder. C) The black giant hated his own existence, and wanted to move on to the next world. D) The crazy young man shot several people to death, including a pregnant woman. E) Any tears for the young man with "short man's syndrome", who wasn't convicted of ANY crime, by the way, but was ostensibly one of the "good guys"?
To give some perspective about the deeper allegory of this movie: An innocent man, guiltless, with the divine ability to heal the sick, raise the dead…and the initials of JC is executed alongside two criminals.
Don't miss "The Bad Seed" , the original from 1956 and not the remake. No one is reacting to it. I doubt that anyone who's seen it has ever forgotten it.
The actor that played Del wasn't in a great film called *_The Fisher King_* from 1991, with _Jeff Bridges_ and _Robin Williams._ I also woulsn't mind a second viewing of _Forrest Gump._
You know the book is always better than the film because there are no time restraints but to see people go to executions were like them going to lychings with there kids and picknicking so they were very twisted in the great depression plus this was before television. So all you had was radio and theather and they strike me as that intellectual down south. But i will say that i liked paul, brutual and the other prision guards. They seemed liked good men for that time and John coffy was like a miracle from god. A angel and even he wanted to leave earth after seeing all he seen. These men seemed like the modern day John Browns of their times. But for everyone to think John coffey was guilty was par for the course in the south during the great depressuon. John coffey would have been like Fredrick douglass to them as inhumane as they thought we were doing those times. But i enjoyed your synopsis and you do a great job explaining and pointing out yout position. Its your gift that god blessed you with. I support your channel fully.😊❤
The actor who played Percey is someone I've only seen portray psychologically deranged characters. As we've seen here, it's the type of role which seems perfectly suited for him.
It's good Percy never worked at Briar, if he was this horrible on death row imagine how appalling he'd be with the mentally challenged bullying them and hurting them. Even those who aren't mental cases, like people with Autism and down syndrome cerebral palsy and adhd and tourettes and depression. Because they were considered mental cases back then and not safe to be with people, same for those with ptsd, bi polar, anexiety and ADD and other simple things
Lol thanks, seen this movie doze s of times more so with reactors, some reason like watching people's reactions in sad movies, happy funny ones too but especially sad, dunno my autism is weird like that. Anywho, yeah just had that thought watching yours because something you had said triggered a train of thought then how I'd be treated by him if I was in briar ridge.
Yes, but doesn't mean he won't get a promotion or meander toward the patients in his free time. He'd make it his mission to find patients and harrass or hurt them.
10:53 This part provides an _especially_ unflattering insight into the history of capital punishment, in this country. I mean, it's without justification in _any_ event, but what purpose could _all_ these seats possibly serve? At some point, has someone maybe considered selling _popcorn?_
1. Most people 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!
![My First Time Watching "The Green Mile" [Movie reaction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/p6zWTscfHYo/mqdefault.jpg)
Rest in power Michael Clarke Duncan. He should have won the oscar that year.
Fun fact: The best two prison movies "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" are written by the master of HORROR Stephen King
And they both have the same director, Frank Darabont.
@@wackyvorlonDarabont finally got his chance to work with Tom Hanks. He turned down the role of Andy in Shawshank in favor of Forrest Gump.
@@SurvivorBriall the cast are brilliant. And another film done by Stephen King. Is "Stand by Me"
Indeed, try 'Misery' for Stephen King at his best! Another great movie.
'Carrie' (1976), his very first novel and the very first movie adaptation, trumps them all!
Anyone who can watch this without crying makes me worry about their mental health.
I agree with you 100%.
You're not human if this doesn't pull tears. I'm a 45 year old man and it gets me everytime.

This is such a sweet comment. Thank you for the feedback!
5:48 "He could've _found_ them like that."
Courtney, it's a breath of fresh air when someone seizes on _that_ possibility _this_ early in the film.
Such a great film, love your reaction.
3:12 "You shoulda took the day off, gone to see the doctor."
It's 1935. There's not a whole lot the doctor can do for UTI. _Nowadays,_ the antibiotics you need to treat it are available all _over_ the place and the treatment is fairly straightforward.

I didn't feel like crying today but had to watch this. Paul's situation in the end was so heartbreaking. Oh and sure, I would watch a rewatch of Forest Gump.
Awww! I didn't mean to make you sad!
Loved your reaction! You grabbing the tp roll was the best! Been there myself 😂❤
I like how you anticipated so many things. You are very intelligent. I love your reactions.

R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan. You left us way too soon.
The mouse actually pooped on Hanks' shoulder is why he brushed it off.
That makes sense!
Michael Clarke Duncan was an inch or an inch and one half taller than David Morse(Brutal), but they made him seem to be a true giant in this.
I really enjoyed this video reaction. The highlight for me was watching this soft hearted sweet young lady when she smiled. I waited through the reaction just to see that. I like her personality she keeps it real and doesn't ruin the video with too much talking. I am an old man who now has a crush.
Excellent reaction. I'd suggest "Arrival." One of my favorite SciFi movies of all time.
You provided a very enjoyable reaction. New subscriber here.
Great reaction! I'm a new subscriber. Instead of forest Gump, please consider "Second Hand Lions" it is such a great coming of age story.😊
The man who played Del also played Mr Noodle's brother on Sesame Street
You're beautiful in every way Court! Loved the video. Anything Stephen King is worth watching! Other favorites of mine from Stephen King that were made into movies would be the Dark Tower series, The Stand, and the Myst. So any of those that you haven't watched would be good. The Stand, I'm thinking of the miniseries from when I was in high school, 1994. Can't speak to the the 2020 one because I haven't seen it. 🙂
John is every good and moral black man in America. P.S. An if John lawyer wasn't so immoral maybe John might have healed his son. PRAISE YAHWEH!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT REACTION VIDEO.
Just found your channel . Good stuff . You’re well spoken . 🙃
Love your videos, I like that the reactions seem genuine and don't feel like there's an editor in the background holding up a card that says "CRY" or "LAUGH" like it does with some others.
Great reaction
Thank you very much!
Great reaction 💯
Great reaction. You should check out "Good Will Hunting" soon.
Nobody is prepared for this story the first time they see the film or read the book.

I recommend "Cool Hand Luke" 1967 (Prison movie)
and "Open Range" 2003 (Michael Jeter)
Two other great Tom Hanks movies are Forest Gump, Saving Private Ryan.
Hi,
I think you should watch Gump because another thing that happens is life experience will change how you feel about it. I felt different at 13 when I saw it in theaters then at 37, I had much more attachment to the movie.
7:19 "And he's _huge,_ girl. Biggest dude I've ever seen."
It's a defining trait of John Coffey that he stands 6'8". Of course, they had to pull a _few_ camera tricks to convey that with the late Michael Clarke Duncan, but not many. _He_ stood 6'5".
Court knew something else was going on from the beginning.
I was watching your reaction and everything you said during the movie I thought when I watched it the first time. I do the same things like answer questions and tell ppl things knowing they can’t hear me 😂😂😂
I love that! My husband is always telling me, "They can't hear you!" lol I can't help it. 😂 I get so into it!

I also recommend _Apollo 13,_ by the way.
The actors that played John and Brutal in real life were only an inch different, they made John seem really tall.
Awesome reaction! Thank you ! You are so beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Good job young lady
F.Y.I. regarding the death row residents, to give the pertinent scenes context:
A) The Cherokee got into a drunken brawl over a pair of SHOES, of all things. He crushed another man's skull with a piece of concrete.
B) The Cajun committed rape, arson, and multiple murder.
C) The black giant hated his own existence, and wanted to move on to the next world.
D) The crazy young man shot several people to death, including a pregnant woman.
E) Any tears for the young man with "short man's syndrome", who wasn't convicted of ANY crime, by the way, but was ostensibly one of the "good guys"?
Have you seen Gary Sinise with Tom Hanks in _Apollo 13_ yet?
Sure, watch them in _Forrest Gump_ again.
"Del" was in _Jurassic Park III._
Great reaction! Please react to Forrest Gump
Loving your reactions! I think you would enjoy "Hacksaw Ridge", if you haven't seen it.👍
Thank you! That is one I have not seen yet 🙂
To give some perspective about the deeper allegory of this movie: An innocent man, guiltless, with the divine ability to heal the sick, raise the dead…and the initials of JC is executed alongside two criminals.
Percy got the worst punishment of them all. Mental hospitals in the 30s were worse than prisons.
Yep, and he likely was in the care of many people who treated others as he had treated people. Karma is a B***h.
This one always gets me =[ Btw not sure if you like to read, but the book is amazing!
Editing these emotional films gets me a second and even a third time. I love to read so I will need to check out the book.
Don't miss "The Bad Seed" , the original from 1956 and not the remake. No one is reacting to it. I doubt that anyone who's seen it has ever forgotten it.
20:25 "Give you a nickel for that Moon Pie."
Why does this man have a nickel? Were they actually expecting him to _buy_ something on death row?
Forrest for sure
The actor that played Del wasn't in a great film called *_The Fisher King_* from 1991, with _Jeff Bridges_ and _Robin Williams._
I also woulsn't mind a second viewing of _Forrest Gump._
I had been putting off this movie because I said it was too long. What I learned from this is just because it's long doesn't mean it isn't worth it.
Thanks for an excellent reaction!
For another great film could u react to Fried Green Tomatoes
Victims' families and the press are allowed to watch executions.
Yes please rewatch forrest gump
You know the book is always better than the film because there are no time restraints but to see people go to executions were like them going to lychings with there kids and picknicking so they were very twisted in the great depression plus this was before television. So all you had was radio and theather and they strike me as that intellectual down south. But i will say that i liked paul, brutual and the other prision guards. They seemed liked good men for that time and John coffy was like a miracle from god. A angel and even he wanted to leave earth after seeing all he seen. These men seemed like the modern day John Browns of their times. But for everyone to think John coffey was guilty was par for the course in the south during the great depressuon. John coffey would have been like Fredrick douglass to them as inhumane as they thought we were doing those times. But i enjoyed your synopsis and you do a great job explaining and pointing out yout position. Its your gift that god blessed you with. I support your channel fully.😊❤
Have you seen "Philadelphia " with tom hanks and Denzel Washington?
The actor who played Percey is someone I've only seen portray psychologically deranged characters. As we've seen here, it's the type of role which seems perfectly suited for him.
Well, he DID marry a 16 year old girl when he was 51. I guess he’s an actor who plays his own type.
🔥
NO ONE reacts to movies better then yoi
Personally i dont like watching when the reactor's seen the movie before, so i'll probably skip that one & wait for the next :)
Hey everybody let's watch Courtney cry.😢
It definitely made me emotional.
39:46 Dell = So NOT the burned bacon smell? 😲
Barbecue, me and you!
Stinky pinky, pew, pew!
Or dilly, Jilly, Hilly or Bob!
It was a french-fried Cajun named Delacroix!
Please, consider watching "Forrest Gump"
It's good Percy never worked at Briar, if he was this horrible on death row imagine how appalling he'd be with the mentally challenged bullying them and hurting them. Even those who aren't mental cases, like people with Autism and down syndrome cerebral palsy and adhd and tourettes and depression. Because they were considered mental cases back then and not safe to be with people, same for those with ptsd, bi polar, anexiety and ADD and other simple things
This is an excellent point!
Lol thanks, seen this movie doze s of times more so with reactors, some reason like watching people's reactions in sad movies, happy funny ones too but especially sad, dunno my autism is weird like that.
Anywho, yeah just had that thought watching yours because something you had said triggered a train of thought then how I'd be treated by him if I was in briar ridge.
It was supposed to be an administrative job, not working with patients.
Yes, but doesn't mean he won't get a promotion or meander toward the patients in his free time. He'd make it his mission to find patients and harrass or hurt them.
You can really tell there were segments in this movie where Tom Hanks did a lot of peeing.
Lol Percy Wetmore and he wet his pants lol and hes a wet blanket
There is so much peeing in this movie. lmao
it's means it's 1935 Southern United States he's extremely under-educated and has no communication skills
1:22 "It's interestin'."
It's crap! Turn that off!
10:18 "I would've thought they would've done the rehearsal with just _them;_ not an actual inmate."
Toot's not an inmate. He's the janitor.
He's a trustee/inmate
Toot was an inmate a trustee
10:53 This part provides an _especially_ unflattering insight into the history of capital punishment, in this country. I mean, it's without justification in _any_ event, but what purpose could _all_ these seats possibly serve? At some point, has someone maybe considered selling _popcorn?_
🐭🧵
Fresh reactions are best, you always do a great job.
Hold off on Forest Gump
1. Most people 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!
