  • The Green Mile, a fantasy drama directed by Frank Darabont based on a Stephen King novel, is a heart wrenching film about a death row inmate with supernatural abilities and his impact on the guards and prisoners around him. In this video I watch The Green Mile for the first time and give my reactions and... emotional opinions of it!

      This one should have won, but it was up against The Sixth Sense, which won that year. I think the Sixth Sense made a bigger impact because of word of mouthy. I never heard of Green Mile until I rented it in the early 2000s.

    The most heart wrenching part of this film to me, is when Boss talks to John Coffey about “On my day of Judgement…” and Coffey says “I’m tired boss… I’m tired of people being ugly to each other.” That entire dialogue was heartbreaking and both actors crushed it.

      My theory is that he was afraid of the dark because that’s where he goes in his mind when he’s feeling other people’s pain or healing them. The clue is that when he heals Miranda, she says that she dreamt they were both wandering in the dark, and found each other.

Mister Jingles is over 60 years old by the end of the film.

    Stephen King discovered pretty early in his writing career, that the most scary things he might bring to paper, are not the monsters, he can come up with - but just ordinary humans.
    And the things they do to each other.
    They don't call him "The King of Horror" for nothing.

      Yeah, I'd have to agree about it being the best reaction to this movie. I've seen a few where the reactor(s) don't even shed a tear. I can kind of understand, to a point. I have had issues showing any kind of emotion when it comes to death due to watching my grandfather pass away in front of me when I was 11. That direct emotion is severed for me. However, watching others cry makes me reconnect that emotion. My wife asked me why I watch sad videos. It's hard for her to understand.

      Nowadays, only the worst kinds of murder are eligible for the death penalty, but in the 1920/30s when this movie took place, lots of lesser crimes were, including even car theft and burglary in some states. By setting it then, Stephen King brilliantly made it easier to sympathize with the inmates, because you really don't know what their crimes were.

    Have no regrets. Any movie that can be so moving that it makes you touch on feelings you'd rather not feel is a good thing. We all need to experience such strong emotions and feelings. Whether we know it or not, we're much better off in the long run. Empathy and compassion are in such short supply these days, we need to find a way to find it, no matter the source.
    I may have watched maybe 30 reactions to this movie and yours is one of the best.

    Hey girl, sending you a hug all the way from germany. You've chosen one hell of a movie. One of my favorites. Still, the one favorite I rarely watch. Because this is some heavy. heavy stuff. And it hits close to home considering the fact that I work in a prison fortress here in germany. We have no death penalty, for that I'm grateful but as a warden, who is working with so many different inmates for almost 8 years now, you are also getting in touch with all their stories, their lives, regrets, hopes and dreams. It's not for everyone to work in a place like this but I'm happy. For I'm convinced that what I do here every day has some meaning and purpose.

    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.
    And congrats 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.
    And btw you should react to Schindler's List it will break your soul and its another you must watch movie.

    In the book, Del knew a girl that had spurned his romantic advances so he tried to scare her by setting fire to her apartment house. 13 people died in the blaze.
