i havent been able to watch any news broadcast in almost 8 years. none. not even local news. i simply cannot bare watching what people are doing to each other. the pure hatred for stupid reasons. humans hating humans for things that someone else tells them they should hate for. it is utter disgust. the only "news" i watch is the weather forecast, because even that insanity is better than what humans do to each other.
"On the day of my judgment when I stand before God and he asks me why? Why did I kill one of his miracles. What am I supposed to say?" That line always brings me to tears no matter what.
I would have a number of questions .... why do you allow children to die from cancer?.. what's up with famine? Why does evil almost always triumph over good? Why does the bible has so much violence and blood sacrifice? . Why was the first commandment not thou shall wash thou hands with soap after having a poo, this would have saved the lives of millions of people ... i have a host of others questions for the big man .. but you get the point ...
@@Tera881 How can you even compare these two movies? I can rewatch "The Green Mile" whenever. It gives me hope that there are still very good people in this world. John Coffey is such a beautiful character, and whenever he appears on the screen, it`s pure bliss to watch him. "Schindler`s List" is mental torture. I watched it once, and I hope I will never have to watch it again. I watched The Holocaust, and if I can help it, I won`t watch it again.
@@lechat8533 i agree. it's an incredible film, but once you've experienced it, which is only a tiny fraction of what the people in it actually went through, only the morbid can watch it again.
The Green Mile is an example of a movie that is damn near perfect, like 99.9%. The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan didn't get the oscar for his role is a damn crime. His "Im tired Boss" monologue. Jesus Christ I feel the same way sometimes. I cried for about 15 minutes after this movie was over. I can only think of maybe 5 movies in my short 52 years of life that have moved me that much.
@johns1625 to play, no. To become the character like he did is a different story entirely. This man's performance captured every depth of emotion that could be displayed by a character whose heart is gold but finds themselves trapped in a world full of hate. This movie has suckerpunched the souls of so many people because it's just not watching an actor act. It's watching John Coffey brought to life.
I've seen this movie at least 8 times or so...and each time I still tear up at the end. Michael Clarke Duncan was an amazing actor and human being. He is sorely missed by many. R.I.P.
He really made this movie what it was. Even with such a talented cast. Such an amazing character, and played so beautifully by him. At least he'll always be remembered for this, and not typecast as "big gangster" or something silly like that. He'll always be John Coffey. Like the drink, but spelt differently. By all accounts he was a well liked person. Such a shame to lose him so soon.
The part where Tom Hanks asks John about how he is supposed to follow through with his execution knowing it likely will endanger his soul when he has to face his maker... always breaks me.
I think the point of that scene is that JC is a type of messianic figure. He implies that it was his destiny to sacrifice his life. His execution is not viewed as something "bad" but something that was necessary. In the gospel narratives, Jesus voluntarily puts his life in danger and is offered a way out to survive by the authorities but refuses to take it, just as JC is offered an occasion to escape and won't take it. Instead, he recognizes that the way he has been living is his predestined path.
I worked with Michael Clarke Duncun in Talladega Nights and he was the nicest, most sincere guy. He spent so much time talking about anything and everything. He even yelled at Greg German for taking so long to ride his bike to set and not respecting our time! Never happened again lol! I miss him. 😇
@@crush41gb What an amazing memory to have. Michael is one of my all time favorites. The Island, Green Mile are 2 of my favs. Thanks for sharing your personal impression of him. Sounds like the man he carried himself to be in public as well as private.
Yeah. same as what my pops said, he worked security gaurd for a while at the Hollywood Park casino back in the early 90s said Mike was real good guy, pops looked up one day and seen him on a soap opera, Lol..
@@michellemoreland3783 Thank you! He was so nice and funny! He couldn't believe how big NASCAR was at the time and was having so much fun! Him, Jack and Will were great!
Based on a Stephen King short story - this movie packs a punch to the gut - many many gut punches. Tom Hanks is such a phenomenal actor - he absorbs every character he plays and just becomes completely someone else. and RIP to Michael Clarke Duncan - he was so great as John Coffey. He was an empath, and was tired of feeling the hate and ugliness in the world. Cute story of Michael Clarke Duncan, he used to work on construction sites, and had dream of being an actor and would say he would do so one day, and his coworkers would give him shit "Hey Michael - Bruce Willis is on the phone for ya!" Then one day, Michael Clarke Duncan was cast on Armageddon with Bruce Willis. The laugh was on them!
This was not a short story, he released it in a series of novellas, 12 of them if I remember right. Shawshank was a short story, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, which was published in a magazine. I own all of them and everything else he wrote until 2015 (including comics, etc) but will never give that leftist nutcase another penny. I can appreciate and love his craft though.
@@Anne-pv9cb You act like he changed, the man is brilliant? Quit turning everything into politics. You're missing out on some great books looking through the list since 2015.
It wasn't a short story. It was released as a monthly release idea that King had with Penguin books. Billed as a mini series of books. You signed up and paid and were sent a volume each month until it's completion. I ran the returns for penguin then, and because of the nature of the series being sent individually, many of them were damaged and came through my department. It was kind of a brilliant idea and both King and Penguin made a boat load of money, but it was a lot of hassle to execute, and so far as I know the only marketing ploy of its kind ever executed.
Stephen King has written a ton of brilliant works, but very few directors have been able to adapt his stories to the big screen without messing it up. Frank Darabont is amazingly skilled at directing those adaptations. You should definitely check out Shawshank Redemption next.
"Boss... there are alot of people here who hate me." "Then feel how we feel... we dont hate you." Makes my heart feel like concrete dipped in lead. Every single person in this movie gives an Oscar worthy performance.
The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are two all-time epic prison films. I've read the Stephen King novel from which this is based upon. It gives further insight to what the characters were thinking. Yes, very emotional at the end. We miss you, Michael Clarke Duncan. He had a very interesting story on how he got into the acting-business.
Are you as impressed as I was how Frank Darabont translated the book into the screenplay? I've never watched a movie that followed the book so well. There's only one single thing I'd have added to the movie, and that is how in the book John Coffey was always laying in his cot and crying, and later we learned it was because he felt the pain of the world around him. I think too many people don't understand the painful existence John was living through and I've seen many people upset with Paul that John is still executed. I think they make a good effort when he tells the guys it's a blessing, I just thought it might be more accepted if they had shown John's misery a bit more. Of course, the desired effect is that we are upset about John being executed. I remember sitting in the movie and racking my brain for how they could save him, even at the last second, while at the same time, the utter grief knowing it was inevitable. Amazing story.
@@msdarby515 I was VERY impressed. As you have said, somehow his books do not transition well to on screen. Whenever I hear someone is making a movie based on a Stephen King book, I literally cringe. The latest being a "remake" of The Fire Starter. I didn't even bother to watch the movie The Gunslinger. However Carrie, It, Shawshanck and The Green Mile are very good imo. But mostly I'm like leave Stephen King books alone, please! A movie can never replace the images (most of them horrific) placed into my mind by Stephen King and his awesome writing.
One of my all time favourite movies. The writing and acting are incredible. In an interview, Stephen King said that John Coffey's initials (J.C.) was not a coincidence.
I'm a 69 y.o. grandma, who has been a huge Stephen King fan since his pen name was Richard Bachman. This movie was one of the adaptations from one of S. King's books. Shawshank Redemption was my first movie from a Stephen King/Richard Bachman book. I have never been able to watch it without tears coming at the end. I still get goosebumps when he healed people. I just love you two BTW. Both of you just make me want to hug you. Funny, sweet and sincere. Hugs from a fat old lady in Seattle
Stephen King had a few best sellers under his belt before he decided to put out something by the name of Richard Bachman. By that time, he felt people were buying his books just because his name was on it. He wanted to see if people would enjoy his stories for what they were, not by who wrote them. Then he was found out and the rest was history!
Sad thing about the movie adaptions of his books is, that a lot of them leave much to be desired, to word it mildly. But once in a while there comes a real gem out of the rubble, like this one or Shawshank Redemption, Carrie and Pet Cemetery. Even Langoliers is a movie I go back to once in a while. But oh my, what they did to Running Man or The Dark Tower just hurts. Hugs from across the big pond :)
Because every time he healed someone then you would notice he had taken that bug or contamination out of that person and into his body. Most times you would notice after he healed someone he would take a few moments and then open his mouth and the contamination would come out in this form of bugs or flies or whatever. The one thing is did you notice how he continued to say I'm tired after he did this each time? It took so much energy out of him. Eventually he was tired of all the things he was having to feel that other people felt. If you magnify your pain countless times over then this might be similar to what he was feeling. The street thing about this is it most definitely is pulling straight out of the Christian New Testament and stories of Jesus healing people. I don't know if Stephen King is a Christian or maybe he's just familiar with the Christian gospels. You know Stephen King wrote this of course? If you didn't now you do. I think Michael Clark Duncan got an academy award for this role. Also a lot of people might forget that Michael passed away at a young age. I don't know if it was a heart attack or what but I do remember it. In the gospels of the Christian New Testament, Jesus feels someone touches robe as he's walking by a group of people to go give a sermon. He immediately said who touched me? I perceive, feel, that power has come from me. Then the person says I touched you just to be helped. And I think Jesus says something to the effect of okay but he knew someone had touched him because he said I perceive power has been taken from me. After he would heal people then I would notice in these Christian gospels that Jesus would feel tired and then they would many times say that he went off after this alone and prayed with no one else around. I know this is an extra long explanation but there's absolutely no doubt that he based that character on Jesus of the Christian New Testament. There are entirely too many similarities. The power or weakness felt after healing someone is parallel. The ability to feel people's pain is parallel with the life of Jesus according to the gospels. Sorry this was so long and I didn't intend it to be that long but something I could tell someone in 2 minutes face to face ends up turning into something that is 2 minutes of reading for someone else unfortunately. When I see the Christian new testament I just do that to differentiate between the Hebrew Bible - Christian Old Testament and the New Testament which is strictly
@@crashburn3292 That's very true. But notice Stephen King says that religion CAN be a very dangerous tool IF misused? That's true. That character was written by someone who has read the Christian gospels. The parallel is too bizarre if not.
@@ON-NO-ODM Stephen King is christian, yeah. It's popped up in a good few of his works, obviously parallels are common, but he writes stories that are good from both a religious and an atheist perspective which is nice
This was the last movie I watched with my Mother before she fell into a coma from cancer. It was sad and heartbreaking before but at the end when John coffe pleads with hanks to not put the mask on because he's afraid of the dark, then the handshake when John actually tries to comfort hanks?!? That is just so real and touching I get a lump in my throat and teary eyes every time I see it. RIP Mom, I love you and miss you so much.
@@deborahdanhauer8525 thank you Deborah, its been 19 years and I keep hearing how it won't hurt as much over time... I'm still waiting for it to dissipate, I hope you're in a better place than me, saying I'm sorry for your loss seems so inadequate.
@@djs3484I think the grief from the loss of your Mother must be different than other losses. You have never been closer to anyone in your life than you were to your Mother. You literally lived inside her to a time. That creates a bond like no other. My Mother left the Earth 5 years ago and I still cry for her all the time. I know deep inside that I always will. That’s as it should be. She was my Momma after all….💔😔
One of the most beautiful and powerful movies I've ever seen. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan- all the acting was stellar, but his portrayal of John was simply beautiful.
Fun fact: in military justice Hard Labor is a punishment. I sat on a Courts Martial board and the attorney showed us the punishments desired. Hard Labor was described as "purpose is to induce exhaustion."
When I was younger, even after seeing this movie, I used to joke that there was never a movie that made me cry. Idk if i thought it made me sound more "manly" or what it was. But around 19-20 years old I watched this completely alone for the first time and I bawled my eyes out. Still to this day, no matter how many times I watch this movie, when they're putting the hood on John and he says "please boss I's afraid of the dark" i start crying like baby. Such a fantastic story, book, and adaptation.
Having complete control of your emotions is manly, but the green mile makes you want to feel for John, it’s a fun game to hold in tears watching a movie but I haven’t seen anyone manage it with green mile.
'There was no tumor' does it for me. When he takes away the cancer is possibly the greatest scene in cinema (well maybe after Return Of The King reform the line'.
No telling how many times I've watched this since it came out in 1999, but it still brings tears. Steven King is truly a master at crafting a story! There's not a spot in this story left untold.
Stephen King is mostly known for his horror stories and he has so many of them. Ironically, his dramatic tales are some of the best in cinematic history like The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me. I'm glad you two enjoyed this movie as much as I did (We all did). Such an amazing story with surprise twists and even supernatural elements. Great characters and so emotional throughout and it even has it's funny moments as well. Great reaction guys.
If you don't cry at least one during this movie... I don't trust you. EDIT: The making of is a really good watch as well. You see Tom Hanks acting his absolute chops off, when he's off-camera, to give everything he can to help Michael's outstanding performance!
Hanks, did a wonderful job of acting. He even done some improv acting in the film. The scene where they come to take Delacroix to be executed and Delacroix puts your jingles on Hank's shoulder. The mouse sh!t On his shoulder that is why he brushed it off after he delivered the mouse to John coffee, or so I have heard.
This movie is probably one of the best movie adaptations from a book that have ever been done. Stephen King is masterful in his story telling, but the casting, the acting, and the screenplay for this movie were all equally excellent. It's a hard story, brutal in places, but it's still one of my favorites and makes me cry every single time. Michael Clark Duncan was so excellent in this. RIP big man. RIP.
One of my favorite Characters ever written, John Coffey, and Michael Clark Duncan brought him perfectly to life. It was like he walked right off the pages of Stephen King's novel. Such a shame the world lost him too soon. He was a wonderful man and actor. RIP big guy! ❤️ It's one of my favorite movies and my favorite Stephen King Novel. Perfectly cast and acted all the way around.
This is so beautiful, It makes me cry every time. Great performances from every member of the cast, BUT Michael should have received every award for his performance RIP.
This is such a special movie that is emotional and thought provoking and touches your soul in a deep way, and it's one that everyone needs to watch at least once. The line, *"On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and he asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job?"* effected me deeply when I first saw this and it has stayed with me for over 20 years. It's also worth noting that John Coffey being a kind healer who is one of God's miracles who is unjustly killed who has the initials, "JC" is NOT a coincidence - they do everything just shy of directly saying it. That's also worth thinking about. Cheers.
Jesus was an immigrant, a refugee, and a Jew in the Roman Empire. John Coffey was a Black man with a learning impediment in the Jim Crow South. Both are from some of the humblest of origins of their time. That's no coincidence either.
Its not easy to truly capture the essence of a book, but the makers did an amazing job in this case. They don’t often do the book justice. This and The Shawshank Redemption are two of Stephen Kings better adaptations.
Great adaptation of Stephen King's book. You can read the whole thing at once now, but when the story came out, he released it in parts. I imagine it kept people on the edge of their seats because it's such a compelling story. Michael Clarke Duncan was a tremendous actor and he is still missed dearly.
I was one of those that had to wait. I still own the 8 books that made up the whole story. He was great at ending each book in a place that just makes you scream because you know you have to wait for two weeks sometimes longer if you couldn't find it. I'm sure glad that trend never caught on it would have driven me insane reading books like that. 125 pages go real fast when well written.
When I read it, it wasn't available as a single book in my first language yet, but the small books were are out, I think I borrowed all of the small books from the library at the same time.
Yup. I remember buying the first two for my mom after she SWORE she wasn't going to read them because it was an obvious cash grab from Stephen King. But we both read them and got hooked and had to wait for the others to be released like the other chumps!🤣
@@savsmiles3042the movie doesn't tell you, but the book does. He raped and then killed a young girl, but then he tried to burn the body which set fire to an apartment building killing 6 others including 2 children. For completeness Bitterbuck killed a man in a bar fight.
I remember watching this movie for the first time back in 1999 in the theater with my late wife when it first came out...The story as you both have witnessed was so powerful with emotion...I can recall after the movie walking with my wife back to our car in the parking lot still in tears...It is rare to have a movie anymore that can really strike a chord in your heart and leave a long lasting meaning that you will never forget like this one....Good review guys...Thankyou
Absolutely one of the best movies ever made. Everyone in the cast absolutely kills it, the story is amazing and timeless and relevant to everyone. And yeah, it breaks me off every time, even just seeing clips. They don't make them like this anymore.
I couldn't agree more. I was so upset when he didn't win. However, Michael Clarke Duncan was such an amazing, humble man that I would'vd totally believed him if he'd said that being nominated for the role was just as good for him as winning the award would have been.
I have watched this movie too many times to count, and I have the same reaction each time. My favorite part is when he told Tom Hanks that he can tell God it was a kindness that he did in letting John die. Can you imagine going through his life dealing with the ugliness of the world. Also think about this...we don't know how old John was either. With all his scares, he could have easily been alive during slavery. We just don't know. RIP Michael Clark Duncan. He was nominated for and Oscar for the role and was up against Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense. Either one of them should have won, but it went to Michael Caine.
So glad you saw it. A very powerful movie, definitely one of my favorites. When Paul asks John what is he going to say to the Almighty for having killed one of his miracles and when he says if he could make a mouse live that long how much more time should I expect are the two heartbreaking moments for me. And I absolutely did not expect the handshake yet totally respect it. He couldn't say much because of all the witnesses but they both understood it as the mutual goodbye and thank you it was.
Asia, I could see the hurt in your heart you brought tears to my eyes. It’s one of my favorite movies. BJ said his tears didn’t fall but he was tearing up 10 minutes into the movie. Love ya both and look for your next reaction.
Like I’m sure a lot of other viewers have said, I can watch this 100 times and I still bawl my eyes out. It really is a fantastic movie and the acting is phenomenal and that’s what makes it so real and emotional because you connect so much with these characters. I’m glad y’all enjoyed it!
I think it gets worse every time I watch it. I start crying an hour in instead of at the very end. Just thinking about Coffey and the pain he has to live with every day... ugh I just want to give that man a hug.
The Green Mile is possibly the greatest movie ever made! Love this movie. Saw it in theaters with my father, and we along with the rest of the audience couldn't hold back the tears. I consider this movie the Ultimate Try Not To Cry Challenge. Great reaction! If you two want to react to another great movie that will touch your heart then you need to watch "Rain Man" (1988).
David Morse is one of my favorite actors I've loved him since he was on what I think would probably be considered a little known show called St Elsewhere.
This story was so perfect. It was just like life: ugly, sad, poignant, funny, irreverent, serious, painful, and sweet. It wouldn't have been half the film it was without that amazing cast to take us there. The pain from the UTI on Tom Hanks' face, the crying guards, smug Percy (played so well), the humanity felt for all of the inmates (except Wild Bill, but he was also perfect: a perfect gentleman, turned murderer, turned problem inmate - all done seemlessly. A perfect psychopath); and John Coffey, who made us feel everything with his tears, his smiles, his fears, and his kindness. King loves to make the simplest people among us the most powerful. Watch Dreamcatcher to see more of this. It's like an alternate take of John Coffey meets the kids from Stand By Me (or The Body, if you prefer the name of the Novella) or IT.
An angel sent from heaven. They said they could find no background on him. Like he just dropped from the sky. The crown shape behind his head (the movie projector), the song. A miracle, he was dog tired, he was ready to go back home. You should check out the book it explains a lot and gives u background on all the characters. Love u guys❤
Stephen King is just showing off with this one, lol! His storytelling is masterful and unsurpassed in my humble opinion, and it really shows in his works outside of the horror genre. Shawshank Redemption, the Green Mile, and Stand By Me, Dolores Claiborne are all masterpieces. I love your reactions, keep it up!
❤ Ya'll so much! Stephen King wrote this in serialized form. One chapter a month. 45 minute read and torture waiting for the next chapter. As an avid reader I never want to experience that again. ❤
The 3 hours just flys by when you watch this. Everyone always mentions the 3 hours before they watch it and afterwards it’s a non-factor! Such a classic. This movie will live forever ❤
Tom Hanks may or may not be the best actor ever, but he damn sure has the most impressive resume of movies he's been in out of anyone. So many all-time flicks.
This movie manages to catch you right in the feels every time you watch it. I don't know how a person could dislike it. The scene where they put the St. Christopher's necklace back on Coffee made me sob so hard when I first saw it. And Michael Clarke Duncan was nominated for an Oscar his part. I wish he had won, his part was amazing.
The acting by Michael Clarke Duncan in The Green Mile and Val Kilmer in Tombstone are always the performances I think of first whenever I think of the best acting that I have ever seen in a movie. The Green Mile is one of the best movies ever made.
This movie is so beautiful and powerful. Enough good things cannot be said about it. I read this book when I was 13 and it was shortly before the movie came out and I just love them both. Such a beautiful story. And I definitely teared up and cried a little watching this reaction. Thank you both for your reaction, I’m glad y’all liked it. 🙏
Wow, 13 is pretty young to read this book, although it's one of King's better stories and I think at 13 I could have handled it. Darabont did such a commendable job at taking the story from book to screenplay.......it's one of the best movies from a book that I've ever seen.
Beautiful reaction, and sharing of your thoughts after the movie. It is one of those movies that touches so many people, and it is hard to put into words how much. It always touches my heart, every time. Mr. Jingles :) Thanks again ♥
This movie is one of the all-time greatest. Period. Phenomenal writing and acting by everyone involved (even the villains Percy and Wild Bill were perfectly portrayed by the actors). If you like this sort of supernatural storytelling let me suggest to you another film similar in tone called ‘Frequency” with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. It is another beautiful story that will have you thinking and feeling long after the credits roll. As a bonus, I don’t think anyone has reacted to it yet so you guys could be the first! Just a thought and keep up the great work!
"I'm tired, boss", just thinking about that line delivered that way by that man brings a tear to my eye. I can't watch this movie without crying, no matter how many time I've seen it.
This movie makes me extremely emotional every time I watch it, a blubbering mess. I’ve watched this masterpiece over a dozen times and I still cried watching these clips with you. Beautifully written piece of artwork. A truely horrific and poet display of mankind all wrapped into one. One of the best movies of all time. It was lovely to see you watch and embrace this film for the time.
This movie always makes me so emotional 😭. Its such a beautiful yet heartbreaking story that was perfectly cast. Tom Hanks was amazing and Michael Clarke Duncan was absolutely phenomenal. The way he was so believable as this great huge man that was so gentle and kind. He steals every scene he is in. You just root for him the whole time hoping that he's somehow gonna get out of there and then when he explains how he's just tired of it all and then when he asks him not to put the hood on him, to not put him in the dark. 😭😭😭😭 I lose it everytime. Definitely a movie that everyone should have to watch cuz there is definitely a life lesson in there. So glad you guys felt it and loved it! You should check out Stand By Me. It is also adapted from a Stephen King book. Love watching your reactions!
This movie makes me tear up every time I watch it (in fact more so now on repeat viewings than it used to before... getting softer as I get older perhaps. Or maybe I can just relate more to some of the themes dealt with in this movie as I get older.). Particularly this line... "I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, 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 everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time". Which is a concept I understand a little too well because I have always had extreme difficulty shutting it out or trying to ignore terrible things. My inability to do that more often than not resulting in making me feeling painfully alone in the world at times. Especially as I gradually lose more and more people in my life as the years go by. Over time this gradually and inevitably wears you down and wears you out. Which is also why I completely understand why people prefer to ignore and try not to think about so many of the things going on in the world (intentional and purposeful self-imposed apathy). Because if they don't, it would hurt so much that they wouldn't be able to function anymore. Which while understandable the drawback of that is that by deliberately ignoring all that stuff as much as possible those same people inadvertently become active participants in allowing those same terrible things to continue on happening and never end... which inevitably also means that things also have to get worse and worse as a result of simply ignoring them and not taking them onboard in order to be able to stand up and say "no more". But also of course there is this line from the movie as well... "He killed them with their love. With their love for each other. That's how it is, every day, all over the world". Touching on how even the good things in all of us, even the very best parts of who we are can often be used against us to do or to allow horrible things to take place. Which unfortunately is more true than people would prefer to believe or to ever think about. As you said. These things "hit me hard in the feels".
@ Jacob Hall, Sir, I am so glad you gave that entire quote that John Coffey said starting with "I'M TIRED BOSS....." I watched so many reactors do the "Green Mile" and NOT ONE of them has included that ENTIRE quote that explains WHY John Coffey wants to die. To ME those words are the MOST IMPORTANT LINES in the entire movie. It totally tells you in a few simple sentences WHAT John has been going through his entire existence and the reason he wants to leave this world. I cry every time I watch this movie, every time. You and I are kindred spirits. After you quoted those lines from John and then wrote "Which is a concept I understand a little too well because I have always had extreme difficulty shutting it out or trying to ignore terrible things. My inability to do that more often than not resulting in making me feeling painfully alone in the world at times. Especially as I gradually lose more and more people in my life as the years go by." WHAT YOU said there about YOURSELF, brought me to tears, because you expressed EXACTLY HOW I AM. I have been a sensitive and empathetic person since I was a child. I am now a month and a half away to turning 76 years old. Both my parents, grandparents all my aunts and uncles, some cousins are ALL gone now. I have a hard time handling all the "ugliness that people do to each other every day" that I see in today's world. I too feel alone, as not many seem to understand how people like you and I feel. I would rather be empathetic and able to put myself in other peoples' shoes, than be a cold heartless person like Percy. BUT it also feels like a CURSE to me, because it IS PAINFULL to be the way I am. I cry so much these days when I see what is going on in the world around us, and it just makes me feel totally helpless to stop it. It's almost unbearable at times. I totally understand how you feel Mr. Hall, because I feel it TOO. THANK YOU for your comment because it lets me know that I am NOT the ONLY person in the world that has these feelings. I guess this is why I "get" John Coffey and the themes in this movie. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. Bless you Mr. Hall.
@@patticrichton1135 For the complete picture of what the character of John has been living with, you need just 1 more piece of dialogue from the movie to round it off fully. Paul Edgecomb : John, do you know where we're taking you? John Coffey : Help a lady? Brutus "Brutal" Howell : That's right. But how do you know? John Coffey : Don't know. To tell the truth, Boss, I don't know much of anything. This short scene shows that John has a direct line into the unseen and unknowable. Access to knowledge that he simply shouldn't have for any logical or rational earthly reason. But despite that... he still doesn't understand this knowledge beyond the simple FACT of it. It's right there in front of him, as easy and effortless to access for him as breathing air. But the "why" and "what" of all these things is still completely lost to him and entirely out of his reach regardless. I didn't include it in the above post because this is an aspect of Coffey that I cannot relate to. I neither have access to "hidden knowledge" nor have I ever had much significant struggle to understand the little knowledge that I do have. But this is still an extremely essential and important part of the John character that is absolutely necessary to fully understand the sad and lonely place that he has spent his entire life existing in.
This film broke me emotionally. Such an amazing film and performances, I cried so hard... The ultimate crime is that Michael Clarke Duncan never won the Oscar.
Frank Darabont was a movie magic maker with this and Shawshank Redemption. Two of my top movies of all time. It surpasses all the rest because of the story of the human experience.
Two unsaid things in the movie: I think when John met Edgecomb, he shook his hand and saw in his heart right away. Also, it seemed like John saw something in the execution chamber. He was looking all around.
Saw this when in was in the theaters. I outright bawled…shoulder shaking, boo hooing…at JC’s execution. (When I was younger, I can hold my emotions in check. And I was surprised that I did that.) I appreciated the fact that my husband (now ex) chose to sit at the back and that there weren’t any other movie-goers near us to hear and see me cry. This is in my top 5 movies. Glad you liked it. P.S. Another person mentioned…The Color Purple. You must see this movie if you haven’t already. It’s also in my top five list of best films ever. Whoopi Goldberg was amazing in this. P.P.S. In the same topic of dramatic movies that made me cry…please check out “Reign On Me”…easily in my top 20 if not top 10. This has Adam Sandler in one of his best dramatic roles IMHO. This movie also made me fall in love with Don Cheadle. 😅 Have tissues ready.
"The Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption" show Stephen King's genius. I'm a big movie buff and these two are in my top ten favorites of all time. King's villains represent the worst of humanity - and we see that in Percy Whetmore and Wild Bill, while his good characters represent the best - John Coffee and Paul (Tom Hank's character). The books are so good to read because you get all the details the movies can't totally cover. In "The Green Mile" book, when Paul was in the nursing home, he was bullied by an employee there which the movie didn't have time to cover. Anyway, I was so glad you guys reacted to this awesome movie! You two are a beautiful couple inside and out. : )
I haven’t seen this movie in years but watching it with you made me feel like seeing it for the first time again. Very touching. You guys are the best!
Haven't seen it in about 20 years, caught this upload as soon as y'all posted it....and didn't expect to cry along with you. I feel like Coffey sometimes. Hate and apathy is more common than love now. But until we leave this world, be the change you want to see in it.
Another Stephen King masterpiece! Amazing cast & performances, I cry every time I see it. Michael Clark Duncan should have won an Oscar for this! RIP sweet man ❤😢
This movie makes me cry every time. Such a powerful movie from Stephen King. Other drama films from him you should check out are Dolores Claiborne, Hearts in Atlantis and Stand By Me. All of them are just amazingly well done.
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan 😢 He just nailed every role, other than this my other favorite roles he played were in See Spot Run 2001 Armageddon 1998 and his Bones episode 2011 and its spinoff The Finder 2012❤
This movie breaks my heart. I still cry for him. A gentle giant who only wanted to help others and paid a unfair price and people saying hateful things.
This was the first movie reaction I've seen you two do, EXCELLENT JOB!!!! Not only was it enjoyable seeing you react to such a great movie, and see it truly move you both, the actual video was edited perfectly. Obviously you can't upload non patron videos of the entire movie, but I didn't even notice the edit points, and where you did do them, it didn't take away from the story at all, especially if you have seen it already. Seriously, I think that was the best reaction to a movie I've yet seen, keep up the great work, Cheers!!✌️💚
I haven't seen this movie in many, many years but yes, I teared up just watching the clips and your reactions. Asia never believed that Coffey could have done that to those girls, y'all are such good hearted people! I keep meaning to tell BJ that I envy his hat collection! Seriously, checking out which hat you're sporting is one of my favorite parts of your videos 🙂 Lastly, seeing James Cromwell in this reminded me that I'd LOVE to see you react to Babe from 1995 and its sequel if you dig it
I hard cry every time I watch this movie 😂 this movie is a god damn masterpiece, Steven King’s film adaptations are outstanding. Omg it’s 3 hours? Didn’t even notice did you? 😂 y’all gotta keep going and get into “It” and “the shining” when you can
@@amyg4961 the original 4 episodes of “IT” are savagely better than movies. Tim curry and the book accurate chapters make it a home run. The tv version of “the shinning” is pretty bad tho 😂 always watch Kubrick’s version
I was in my 20s when Stephen King put this story out. He did it differently than his other books. Rather than one big book, he sold it as a series or sereal. Each part of the story was the size of a novelette and was less expensive than a full book. So I had to get them one at a time and waiting for the next installment drove me a little nuts. It's actually a brilliant marketing strategy though. The full book back then would have been at least $20. There were 5 or 6 novelettes that made up the book and each one was like $6 or $7 bucks. Do the math. I would recommend getting the Stephen King novel and give it a read. There's a lot the movie just couldn't fit in. Glad you enjoyed it. If you haven't seen Schindler's List yet, it is another must watch. Personally I think it should be required viewing in schools. If you forget history you are doomed to repeat it. Schindler's List is a true story.
I also read each monthly installment as it came out. Do you remember there was a competition at the end of each book, where you could guess what was going to happen next? In my opinion, this movie is the best adaptation of one of Stephen King's works - and there are a few good ones.
I am so glad I checked and am catching a livestream with y'all watching one of my favorite movies. Have lots of tissues ready. Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan are 2 of my favorite actors and they outdid themselves with their performances in this movie. Makes you think. I still had the movie running in my head 2 weeks after watching it the first time, going over everything that happened. I am so glad to watch a great movie with my new "friends".
Thank you for reacted to the Green Mile it's such a powerful Michael Clarke Duncan such a great actor in this film alone he should have won an Oscar for this role it's emotional. it gets to me sometimes emotionally. I really appreciate you guys for reacted to this film. May God bless you both 🙏 with respect always your big fan Christopher
This is one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite reactions from you two. You guys are genuine. I respect that. Another perfect and emotional movie you HAVE to do is Million Dollar Baby. It's nothing short of AMAZING.

I cry every time I watch this movie
"I'm tired boss, mostly tired of people being ugly to each other" This line is still true. We are all tired of the ugly.
Imagine how the poor guy would feel now.
Speak the truth;shame the devil 😈
i havent been able to watch any news broadcast in almost 8 years. none. not even local news. i simply cannot bare watching what people are doing to each other. the pure hatred for stupid reasons. humans hating humans for things that someone else tells them they should hate for. it is utter disgust. the only "news" i watch is the weather forecast, because even that insanity is better than what humans do to each other.
not true at all lol. do you live under a rock or something lol
@@mastixencountersomebody's feeling ×dgy
"On the day of my judgment when I stand before God and he asks me why? Why did I kill one of his miracles. What am I supposed to say?" That line always brings me to tears no matter what.
Me too.
It's so sad and so beautiful at the same time
I would have a number of questions .... why do you allow children to die from cancer?.. what's up with famine? Why does evil almost always triumph over good? Why does the bible has so much violence and blood sacrifice? . Why was the first commandment not thou shall wash thou hands with soap after having a poo, this would have saved the lives of millions of people ... i have a host of others questions for the big man .. but you get the point ...
I definitely agree to the 3rd degree!
I cry every time
That's the most Tom Hanks ISH face of all time
Rest in peace Michael Clarke Duncan. The chemistry with actors in this movies is something else.
You could try to watch Schindler's list.
And Michael Jeter. They are both gone. 😢 RIP.
@@Tera881
How can you even compare these two movies?
I can rewatch "The Green Mile" whenever. It gives me hope that there are still very good people in this world. John Coffey is such a beautiful character, and whenever he appears on the screen, it`s pure bliss to watch him.
"Schindler`s List" is mental torture. I watched it once, and I hope I will never have to watch it again. I watched The Holocaust, and if I can help it, I won`t watch it again.
@@lechat8533 i agree. it's an incredible film, but once you've experienced it, which is only a tiny fraction of what the people in it actually went through, only the morbid can watch it again.
@@ArcadiaJadeI didn’t know he passed and 20 years now…rest in peace
The Green Mile is an example of a movie that is damn near perfect, like 99.9%. The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan didn't get the oscar for his role is a damn crime. His "Im tired Boss" monologue. Jesus Christ I feel the same way sometimes. I cried for about 15 minutes after this movie was over. I can only think of maybe 5 movies in my short 52 years of life that have moved me that much.
I was "lucky enough" to read the book first and be able to space out my emotional devastation a little bit!
His performance was very moving but John Coffee is not a difficult character to play.
this, and Shawshank, both are near perfection, both originally written by stephen king.
@johns1625 to play, no. To become the character like he did is a different story entirely. This man's performance captured every depth of emotion that could be displayed by a character whose heart is gold but finds themselves trapped in a world full of hate. This movie has suckerpunched the souls of so many people because it's just not watching an actor act. It's watching John Coffey brought to life.
I can not believe that anyone din’t saw this movie years ago.
I've seen this movie at least 8 times or so...and each time I still tear up at the end. Michael Clarke Duncan was an amazing actor and human being. He is sorely missed by many. R.I.P.
Loved him as Bear in "Armageddon."
4 times. I think I saw it enough now. It's still great
He really made this movie what it was. Even with such a talented cast.
Such an amazing character, and played so beautifully by him.
At least he'll always be remembered for this, and not typecast as "big gangster" or something silly like that. He'll always be John Coffey. Like the drink, but spelt differently.
By all accounts he was a well liked person. Such a shame to lose him so soon.
He was a national treasure and is sorely missed.
I cried like a baby when I first saw it and ever since.
The part where Tom Hanks asks John about how he is supposed to follow through with his execution knowing it likely will endanger his soul when he has to face his maker... always breaks me.
yeah like when ceasar couldn’t crucify jesus it’s about jesus watch it closely
I think the point of that scene is that JC is a type of messianic figure. He implies that it was his destiny to sacrifice his life. His execution is not viewed as something "bad" but something that was necessary. In the gospel narratives, Jesus voluntarily puts his life in danger and is offered a way out to survive by the authorities but refuses to take it, just as JC is offered an occasion to escape and won't take it. Instead, he recognizes that the way he has been living is his predestined path.
@@davestang5454
Indeed
It would make the strongest atheist question if there really is a heaven.
I worked with Michael Clarke Duncun in Talladega Nights and he was the nicest, most sincere guy. He spent so much time talking about anything and everything. He even yelled at Greg German for taking so long to ride his bike to set and not respecting our time! Never happened again lol! I miss him. 😇
Oh wow!!! I bet those are some memories that you will remember forever. Michael Clarke Duncan was a great actor and an even better human being.
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ it definitely was and he definitely is! 😇 Thank you both for your time , hard work and genuine reactions btw. You're the best! 😀

@@michellemoreland3783 Thank you! He was so nice and funny! He couldn't believe how big NASCAR was at the time and was having so much fun! Him, Jack and Will were great!
Based on a Stephen King short story - this movie packs a punch to the gut - many many gut punches.
Tom Hanks is such a phenomenal actor - he absorbs every character he plays and just becomes completely someone else.
and RIP to Michael Clarke Duncan - he was so great as John Coffey.
He was an empath, and was tired of feeling the hate and ugliness in the world.
Cute story of Michael Clarke Duncan, he used to work on construction sites, and had dream of being an actor and would say he would do so one day, and his coworkers would give him shit "Hey Michael - Bruce Willis is on the phone for ya!"
Then one day, Michael Clarke Duncan was cast on Armageddon with Bruce Willis. The laugh was on them!
It's actually a full novel
This was not a short story, he released it in a series of novellas, 12 of them if I remember right. Shawshank was a short story, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, which was published in a magazine.
I own all of them and everything else he wrote until 2015 (including comics, etc) but will never give that leftist nutcase another penny. I can appreciate and love his craft though.
@@Anne-pv9cb The Green Mile was released in 6 parts
@@Anne-pv9cb You act like he changed, the man is brilliant? Quit turning everything into politics. You're missing out on some great books looking through the list since 2015.
It wasn't a short story. It was released as a monthly release idea that King had with Penguin books. Billed as a mini series of books. You signed up and paid and were sent a volume each month until it's completion. I ran the returns for penguin then, and because of the nature of the series being sent individually, many of them were damaged and came through my department. It was kind of a brilliant idea and both King and Penguin made a boat load of money, but it was a lot of hassle to execute, and so far as I know the only marketing ploy of its kind ever executed.
No matter how many years pass or times watched, this one hits you in the feelings.
Every damn time!
Unless you’re Percy.
Same with ‘Schindler’s List’ and ‘Steel Magnolias’.
Million Dollar Baby, Saving Private Ryan, Field of Dreams.
Every single time!
Stephen King has written a ton of brilliant works, but very few directors have been able to adapt his stories to the big screen without messing it up. Frank Darabont is amazingly skilled at directing those adaptations. You should definitely check out Shawshank Redemption next.
Yes, because he hated try director who did “the shining “, and from that point on he always had a say so in who brings his words to life
If I´m not wrong, they already did Shawshank´s reaction.
But the movies are never as good as the books…ever!!
They did "Shawshank" but the Stephen King/Frank Darabont "The Mist" is still a possibility
@@jimbaumli8809 Oh, you're right.. I'd forgotten that they did Shawshank already... They should definitely check out "The Mist" next then.
RIP to Michael Clarke Dunkan and Michael Jeter. Two phenomenal actors. This is one of the best movies ever. So touching. ❤️
"Boss... there are alot of people here who hate me."
"Then feel how we feel... we dont hate you."
Makes my heart feel like concrete dipped in lead.
Every single person in this movie gives an Oscar worthy performance.
The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are two all-time epic prison films. I've read the Stephen King novel from which this is based upon. It gives further insight to what the characters were thinking. Yes, very emotional at the end. We miss you, Michael Clarke Duncan. He had a very interesting story on how he got into the acting-business.
Are you as impressed as I was how Frank Darabont translated the book into the screenplay? I've never watched a movie that followed the book so well. There's only one single thing I'd have added to the movie, and that is how in the book John Coffey was always laying in his cot and crying, and later we learned it was because he felt the pain of the world around him. I think too many people don't understand the painful existence John was living through and I've seen many people upset with Paul that John is still executed. I think they make a good effort when he tells the guys it's a blessing, I just thought it might be more accepted if they had shown John's misery a bit more.
Of course, the desired effect is that we are upset about John being executed. I remember sitting in the movie and racking my brain for how they could save him, even at the last second, while at the same time, the utter grief knowing it was inevitable.
Amazing story.
@@msdarby515 I was VERY impressed. As you have said, somehow his books do not transition well to on screen. Whenever I hear someone is making a movie based on a Stephen King book, I literally cringe. The latest being a "remake" of The Fire Starter. I didn't even bother to watch the movie The Gunslinger. However Carrie, It, Shawshanck and The Green Mile are very good imo. But mostly I'm like leave Stephen King books alone, please! A movie can never replace the images (most of them horrific) placed into my mind by Stephen King and his awesome writing.
Misery is my favorite King adaptation. In fact I couldn't finish the book. Bates did more than break Caan's feet in the book and I had to put it down.
They didn't show them locking dude in the closet. I'd like to see their reaction.
Fun trivia:
William Stadler is in both films.
One of my all time favourite movies. The writing and acting are incredible. In an interview, Stephen King said that John Coffey's initials (J.C.) was not a coincidence.
I'm pretty sure the projector lighting behind him in the film scene wasn't either.
I'm a 69 y.o. grandma, who has been a huge Stephen King fan since his pen name was Richard Bachman. This movie was one of the adaptations from one of S. King's books. Shawshank Redemption was my first movie from a Stephen King/Richard Bachman book. I have never been able to watch it without tears coming at the end. I still get goosebumps when he healed people. I just love you two BTW. Both of you just make me want to hug you. Funny, sweet and sincere. Hugs from a fat old lady in Seattle
And from a fluffy white guy from South Carolina 🙂
Long days and pleasant nights.
Stephen King had a few best sellers under his belt before he decided to put out something by the name of Richard Bachman. By that time, he felt people were buying his books just because his name was on it. He wanted to see if people would enjoy his stories for what they were, not by who wrote them. Then he was found out and the rest was history!
Sad thing about the movie adaptions of his books is, that a lot of them leave much to be desired, to word it mildly. But once in a while there comes a real gem out of the rubble, like this one or Shawshank Redemption, Carrie and Pet Cemetery. Even Langoliers is a movie I go back to once in a while. But oh my, what they did to Running Man or The Dark Tower just hurts.
Hugs from across the big pond :)
Big King fan here. Just saying hey to the little old fat lady from Seattle. Hello ma'am 👋. God bless you, ma'am.
Asia: "Why didn't he let the little fly things come out?"
BJ: "I don't know. I haven't seen it."
You guys are so funny sometimes.
Because every time he healed someone then you would notice he had taken that bug or contamination out of that person and into his body. Most times you would notice after he healed someone he would take a few moments and then open his mouth and the contamination would come out in this form of bugs or flies or whatever. The one thing is did you notice how he continued to say I'm tired after he did this each time? It took so much energy out of him. Eventually he was tired of all the things he was having to feel that other people felt. If you magnify your pain countless times over then this might be similar to what he was feeling. The street thing about this is it most definitely is pulling straight out of the Christian New Testament and stories of Jesus healing people. I don't know if Stephen King is a Christian or maybe he's just familiar with the Christian gospels. You know Stephen King wrote this of course? If you didn't now you do. I think Michael Clark Duncan got an academy award for this role. Also a lot of people might forget that Michael passed away at a young age. I don't know if it was a heart attack or what but I do remember it. In the gospels of the Christian New Testament, Jesus feels someone touches robe as he's walking by a group of people to go give a sermon. He immediately said who touched me? I perceive, feel, that power has come from me. Then the person says I touched you just to be helped. And I think Jesus says something to the effect of okay but he knew someone had touched him because he said I perceive power has been taken from me. After he would heal people then I would notice in these Christian gospels that Jesus would feel tired and then they would many times say that he went off after this alone and prayed with no one else around. I know this is an extra long explanation but there's absolutely no doubt that he based that character on Jesus of the Christian New Testament. There are entirely too many similarities. The power or weakness felt after healing someone is parallel. The ability to feel people's pain is parallel with the life of Jesus according to the gospels. Sorry this was so long and I didn't intend it to be that long but something I could tell someone in 2 minutes face to face ends up turning into something that is 2 minutes of reading for someone else unfortunately. When I see the Christian new testament I just do that to differentiate between the Hebrew Bible - Christian Old Testament and the New Testament which is strictly
@@ON-NO-ODM - "Religion can be a very dangerous tool that’s been misused by a lot of people.” - Stephen King
@@crashburn3292 That's very true. But notice Stephen King says that religion CAN be a very dangerous tool IF misused? That's true. That character was written by someone who has read the Christian gospels. The parallel is too bizarre if not.
@@ON-NO-ODM Stephen King is christian, yeah. It's popped up in a good few of his works, obviously parallels are common, but he writes stories that are good from both a religious and an atheist perspective which is nice
There is no other way of saying it. This is truly a special movie. An absolute masterpiece
"He has no respect for the livin,so obviously he has no respect for the dead either!!" That was DOPE BJ!!! Another great reaction y'all!! Peace!!!!
That one is gonna stick
So true, and actually made me mad at Percy all over again when he said it, lol.
This was the last movie I watched with my Mother before she fell into a coma from cancer. It was sad and heartbreaking before but at the end when John coffe pleads with hanks to not put the mask on because he's afraid of the dark, then the handshake when John actually tries to comfort hanks?!? That is just so real and touching I get a lump in my throat and teary eyes every time I see it. RIP Mom, I love you and miss you so much.

@@djs3484I think the grief from the loss of your Mother must be different than other losses. You have never been closer to anyone in your life than you were to your Mother.

One of the most beautiful and powerful movies I've ever seen. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan- all the acting was stellar, but his portrayal of John was simply beautiful.
One of the saddest and beautiful movies!!! Rest in peace Michael Duncan
If you're not fighting back tears several times while watching this movie you're not human.
Or a sociopath. I’d be suspicious of anyone who got through it without reaching for the tissues.
John Coffey's speech at the end always gets me. Tears damn near every time.
Fun fact: in military justice Hard Labor is a punishment. I sat on a Courts Martial board and the attorney showed us the punishments desired. Hard Labor was described as "purpose is to induce exhaustion."
When I was younger, even after seeing this movie, I used to joke that there was never a movie that made me cry. Idk if i thought it made me sound more "manly" or what it was. But around 19-20 years old I watched this completely alone for the first time and I bawled my eyes out. Still to this day, no matter how many times I watch this movie, when they're putting the hood on John and he says "please boss I's afraid of the dark" i start crying like baby. Such a fantastic story, book, and adaptation.
Having complete control of your emotions is manly, but the green mile makes you want to feel for John, it’s a fun game to hold in tears watching a movie but I haven’t seen anyone manage it with green mile.
'There was no tumor' does it for me. When he takes away the cancer is possibly the greatest scene in cinema (well maybe after Return Of The King reform the line'.
No telling how many times I've watched this since it came out in 1999, but it still brings tears. Steven King is truly a master at crafting a story! There's not a spot in this story left untold.
Stephen King is mostly known for his horror stories and he has so many of them. Ironically, his dramatic tales are some of the best in cinematic history like The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me. I'm glad you two enjoyed this movie as much as I did (We all did). Such an amazing story with surprise twists and even supernatural elements. Great characters and so emotional throughout and it even has it's funny moments as well. Great reaction guys.
Even his horror tells were Great. Needful Things, a great movie.
I would also add Misery.
+ Rose Madder
All his work is horror
They definitely need to see The Shawshank Redemption if they haven't seen it yet.
I’ve seen it 10 times and cried each time- it evokes so many emotions. Tremendous.
If you don't cry at least one during this movie... I don't trust you. EDIT: The making of is a really good watch as well. You see Tom Hanks acting his absolute chops off, when he's off-camera, to give everything he can to help Michael's outstanding performance!
Out all his filmography, the only one that was so so was Money Pit and that early in his career and not really his fault
i cry every time. i hate it so much.
Hanks, did a wonderful job of acting. He even done some improv acting in the film. The scene where they come to take Delacroix to be executed and Delacroix puts your jingles on Hank's shoulder. The mouse sh!t On his shoulder that is why he brushed it off after he delivered the mouse to John coffee, or so I have heard.
Is it on TH-cam? I would love to see it.
@@Destyn2B Yes, Walking the Mile: The Making of The Green Mile
I absolutely love this movie. I still cry every time.
This movie is probably one of the best movie adaptations from a book that have ever been done. Stephen King is masterful in his story telling, but the casting, the acting, and the screenplay for this movie were all equally excellent. It's a hard story, brutal in places, but it's still one of my favorites and makes me cry every single time. Michael Clark Duncan was so excellent in this. RIP big man. RIP.
Wholeheartedly agree. I have yet to read another book that was as well-represented as the Green Mile. The absolute BEST movie adaptation.
Other than Tom Hanks, everyone and everything in this movie, looked exactly like in the book.
Just for the hat! Go Jays Go
Hey, Thanks Andrea! We appreciate the love & support!! Go Jays ❤️❤️
"We each owe a death. There are no exceptions." Beautiful movie.
One of my favorite Characters ever written, John Coffey, and Michael Clark Duncan brought him perfectly to life. It was like he walked right off the pages of Stephen King's novel. Such a shame the world lost him too soon. He was a wonderful man and actor. RIP big guy! ❤️ It's one of my favorite movies and my favorite Stephen King Novel. Perfectly cast and acted all the way around.
This is so beautiful, It makes me cry every time. Great performances from every member of the cast, BUT Michael should have received every award for his performance RIP.
This is such a special movie that is emotional and thought provoking and touches your soul in a deep way, and it's one that everyone needs to watch at least once. The line, *"On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and he asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job?"* effected me deeply when I first saw this and it has stayed with me for over 20 years. It's also worth noting that John Coffey being a kind healer who is one of God's miracles who is unjustly killed who has the initials, "JC" is NOT a coincidence - they do everything just shy of directly saying it. That's also worth thinking about. Cheers.
Surprised I had to scroll so far to see someone finally mention the initials, 'J.C.'
I had never considered that metaphor. Wow!
Jesus was an immigrant, a refugee, and a Jew in the Roman Empire. John Coffey was a Black man with a learning impediment in the Jim Crow South. Both are from some of the humblest of origins of their time. That's no coincidence either.
if i remember correctly, they came out and talked about the JC initials in the book... I read it before I saw the movie back in '99
Its not easy to truly capture the essence of a book, but the makers did an amazing job in this case. They don’t often do the book justice. This and The Shawshank Redemption are two of Stephen Kings better adaptations.
Great adaptation of Stephen King's book. You can read the whole thing at once now, but when the story came out, he released it in parts. I imagine it kept people on the edge of their seats because it's such a compelling story. Michael Clarke Duncan was a tremendous actor and he is still missed dearly.
I was one of those that had to wait. I still own the 8 books that made up the whole story. He was great at ending each book in a place that just makes you scream because you know you have to wait for two weeks sometimes longer if you couldn't find it. I'm sure glad that trend never caught on it would have driven me insane reading books like that. 125 pages go real fast when well written.
He did that with the two towers story too
When I read it, it wasn't available as a single book in my first language yet, but the small books were are out, I think I borrowed all of the small books from the library at the same time.
@@michaelakkerman407wait…What? The adaptation The Green Mile was made up of 8 books?
Yup. I remember buying the first two for my mom after she SWORE she wasn't going to read them because it was an obvious cash grab from Stephen King. But we both read them and got hooked and had to wait for the others to be released like the other chumps!🤣
This is a 10/10 and i rare give 10/10 to a movie. What a masterpiece.
I got teary-eyed just watching your reaction! Knowing that Mr. Duncan is no longer with us, making it more bitter sweet. Underrated actor.
One of the greatest and heart wrenching movies ever. Rip Michael Clarke Duncan. Tremendous
It doesn't matter how many times you have seen this movie you can't watch it without having tears in your eyes.
It's impossible not to cry while watching this movie.
Unless you’re a sociopath. I would be suspicious of anyone who gets through it without needing a tissue.
How anyone can watch this film and feel no emotion is bewildering. Gets me every time.
If you find someone like that get them mental help immediately because that makes them a psychopath.
I’ve watched this movie when it first came out.
I don’t remember much of it. What did the guy whose head caught on fire do exactly?
@@savsmiles3042the movie doesn't tell you, but the book does. He raped and then killed a young girl, but then he tried to burn the body which set fire to an apartment building killing 6 others including 2 children. For completeness Bitterbuck killed a man in a bar fight.
@@DaleKingProfile who is Bitterbuck?
@@savsmiles3042 The native American who was the first one executed in the movie
I remember watching this movie for the first time back in 1999 in the theater with my late wife when it first came out...The story as you both have witnessed was so powerful with emotion...I can recall after the movie walking with my wife back to our car in the parking lot still in tears...It is rare to have a movie anymore that can really strike a chord in your heart and leave a long lasting meaning that you will never forget like this one....Good review guys...Thankyou
Absolutely one of the best movies ever made. Everyone in the cast absolutely kills it, the story is amazing and timeless and relevant to everyone.
And yeah, it breaks me off every time, even just seeing clips. They don't make them like this anymore.
I’m a 60 yo man and I tear up every time I watch this. Great movie and great reactions!
This is easily one of the best casted movies I've ever seen. Everyone fits and plays their role perfectly.
Michael Clarke Duncan deserved an Oscar for this film... what an amazing job!
I couldn't agree more. I was so upset when he didn't win. However, Michael Clarke Duncan was such an amazing, humble man that I would'vd totally believed him if he'd said that being nominated for the role was just as good for him as winning the award would have been.
I have watched this movie too many times to count, and I have the same reaction each time. My favorite part is when he told Tom Hanks that he can tell God it was a kindness that he did in letting John die. Can you imagine going through his life dealing with the ugliness of the world. Also think about this...we don't know how old John was either. With all his scares, he could have easily been alive during slavery. We just don't know. RIP Michael Clark Duncan. He was nominated for and Oscar for the role and was up against Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense. Either one of them should have won, but it went to Michael Caine.
So glad you saw it. A very powerful movie, definitely one of my favorites. When Paul asks John what is he going to say to the Almighty for having killed one of his miracles and when he says if he could make a mouse live that long how much more time should I expect are the two heartbreaking moments for me. And I absolutely did not expect the handshake yet totally respect it. He couldn't say much because of all the witnesses but they both understood it as the mutual goodbye and thank you it was.
Asia, I could see the hurt in your heart you brought tears to my eyes. It’s one of my favorite movies.
BJ said his tears didn’t fall but he was tearing up 10 minutes into the movie.
Love ya both and look for your next reaction.
Like I’m sure a lot of other viewers have said, I can watch this 100 times and I still bawl my eyes out. It really is a fantastic movie and the acting is phenomenal and that’s what makes it so real and emotional because you connect so much with these characters. I’m glad y’all enjoyed it!
I think it gets worse every time I watch it. I start crying an hour in instead of at the very end. Just thinking about Coffey and the pain he has to live with every day... ugh I just want to give that man a hug.
I can hold it together until I see Barry Pepper at the end NOT holding it together. Then I break up right along with him.
The Green Mile is possibly the greatest movie ever made! Love this movie. Saw it in theaters with my father, and we along with the rest of the audience couldn't hold back the tears. I consider this movie the Ultimate Try Not To Cry Challenge. Great reaction! If you two want to react to another great movie that will touch your heart then you need to watch "Rain Man" (1988).
David Morse is one of my favorite actors I've loved him since he was on what I think would probably be considered a little known show called St Elsewhere.
This story was so perfect. It was just like life: ugly, sad, poignant, funny, irreverent, serious, painful, and sweet. It wouldn't have been half the film it was without that amazing cast to take us there. The pain from the UTI on Tom Hanks' face, the crying guards, smug Percy (played so well), the humanity felt for all of the inmates (except Wild Bill, but he was also perfect: a perfect gentleman, turned murderer, turned problem inmate - all done seemlessly. A perfect psychopath); and John Coffey, who made us feel everything with his tears, his smiles, his fears, and his kindness.
King loves to make the simplest people among us the most powerful. Watch Dreamcatcher to see more of this. It's like an alternate take of John Coffey meets the kids from Stand By Me (or The Body, if you prefer the name of the Novella) or IT.
An angel sent from heaven. They said they could find no background on him. Like he just dropped from the sky. The crown shape behind his head (the movie projector), the song. A miracle, he was dog tired, he was ready to go back home. You should check out the book it explains a lot and gives u background on all the characters. Love u guys❤
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. He really should have received the Oscar for his performance. This was an incredible movie.
Hanks spoke at his memorial.
Heaven....I'm in heaven. Brings a tear to my eye. Dancing cheek to cheek, Fred Astaire. Beautiful/sad movie!
Stephen King is just showing off with this one, lol! His storytelling is masterful and unsurpassed in my humble opinion, and it really shows in his works outside of the horror genre. Shawshank Redemption, the Green Mile, and Stand By Me, Dolores Claiborne are all masterpieces. I love your reactions, keep it up!
Don't forget Misery
"Dolores Claiborne" is an underappreciated book and movie. So good.
Just leaving off his own self described magnum opus, The Dark Tower.
@@charleyMD17 amen to that. Would love to see them react to it.
You going to think I have nothing better to do but I've seen this movie now going on 60 times. It still gets me in the feels.
❤ Ya'll so much! Stephen King wrote this in serialized form. One chapter a month. 45 minute read and torture waiting for the next chapter. As an avid reader I never want to experience that again. ❤
Ha ha - - imagine how it felt waiting for the next Dark Tower installment! 😄
What a great way to read the book.
I patiently waited until they all came out and read it all at once. I knew waiting for each book would drive me crazy.
I waited until they offered them as a box set. But yeah, I would've hated having to wait for the next one.
The 3 hours just flys by when you watch this. Everyone always mentions the 3 hours before they watch it and afterwards it’s a non-factor! Such a classic. This movie will live forever ❤
I've seen this movie about 5 times and never realized it was any longer than tjhe typical 2 hour movie! So that proves what you said is 100% true!
And because of that so will Michael Clark Duncan .
So right! I never realized the 3 hrs no matter how many times I watch it.
Tom Hanks may or may not be the best actor ever, but he damn sure has the most impressive resume of movies he's been in out of anyone. So many all-time flicks.
Right? I've watched many times and I just can't tire of it! Never ever feels like 3+ hours!!!
From the minute they brought John in it was an imotional roller coaster, tears rolling down my face, I love John so much R.I.P John
This movie manages to catch you right in the feels every time you watch it. I don't know how a person could dislike it. The scene where they put the St. Christopher's necklace back on Coffee made me sob so hard when I first saw it. And Michael Clarke Duncan was nominated for an Oscar his part. I wish he had won, his part was amazing.
The acting by Michael Clarke Duncan in The Green Mile and Val Kilmer in Tombstone are always the performances I think of first whenever I think of the best acting that I have ever seen in a movie. The Green Mile is one of the best movies ever made.
This movie is so beautiful and powerful. Enough good things cannot be said about it. I read this book when I was 13 and it was shortly before the movie came out and I just love them both. Such a beautiful story. And I definitely teared up and cried a little watching this reaction. Thank you both for your reaction, I’m glad y’all liked it. 🙏
Wow, 13 is pretty young to read this book, although it's one of King's better stories and I think at 13 I could have handled it. Darabont did such a commendable job at taking the story from book to screenplay.......it's one of the best movies from a book that I've ever seen.
Beautiful reaction, and sharing of your thoughts after the movie.
It is one of those movies that touches so many people, and it is hard to put into words how much.
It always touches my heart, every time. Mr. Jingles :)
Thanks again
♥
No matter how many times this film is watched, same emotions every time 😢 Also Rip to the actor Michael Clark Duncan that played John Koffee 🙏🏽
This movie is one of the all-time greatest. Period. Phenomenal writing and acting by everyone involved (even the villains Percy and Wild Bill were perfectly portrayed by the actors). If you like this sort of supernatural storytelling let me suggest to you another film similar in tone called ‘Frequency” with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. It is another beautiful story that will have you thinking and feeling long after the credits roll. As a bonus, I don’t think anyone has reacted to it yet so you guys could be the first! Just a thought and keep up the great work!
I agree, "Frequency" is also an excellent movie
"I'm tired, boss", just thinking about that line delivered that way by that man brings a tear to my eye. I can't watch this movie without crying, no matter how many time I've seen it.
This movie makes me extremely emotional every time I watch it, a blubbering mess. I’ve watched this masterpiece over a dozen times and I still cried watching these clips with you. Beautifully written piece of artwork. A truely horrific and poet display of mankind all wrapped into one. One of the best movies of all time. It was lovely to see you watch and embrace this film for the time.
This movie always makes me so emotional 😭. Its such a beautiful yet heartbreaking story that was perfectly cast. Tom Hanks was amazing and Michael Clarke Duncan was absolutely phenomenal. The way he was so believable as this great huge man that was so gentle and kind. He steals every scene he is in. You just root for him the whole time hoping that he's somehow gonna get out of there and then when he explains how he's just tired of it all and then when he asks him not to put the hood on him, to not put him in the dark. 😭😭😭😭 I lose it everytime. Definitely a movie that everyone should have to watch cuz there is definitely a life lesson in there. So glad you guys felt it and loved it! You should check out Stand By Me. It is also adapted from a Stephen King book. Love watching your reactions!
This one just stays with you and stays with you. John Coffey is such a beautiful soul, one of the best literary characters ever.
This movie makes me tear up every time I watch it (in fact more so now on repeat viewings than it used to before... getting softer as I get older perhaps. Or maybe I can just relate more to some of the themes dealt with in this movie as I get older.).
Particularly this line...
"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, 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 everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time".
Which is a concept I understand a little too well because I have always had extreme difficulty shutting it out or trying to ignore terrible things. My inability to do that more often than not resulting in making me feeling painfully alone in the world at times. Especially as I gradually lose more and more people in my life as the years go by. Over time this gradually and inevitably wears you down and wears you out.
Which is also why I completely understand why people prefer to ignore and try not to think about so many of the things going on in the world (intentional and purposeful self-imposed apathy). Because if they don't, it would hurt so much that they wouldn't be able to function anymore. Which while understandable the drawback of that is that by deliberately ignoring all that stuff as much as possible those same people inadvertently become active participants in allowing those same terrible things to continue on happening and never end... which inevitably also means that things also have to get worse and worse as a result of simply ignoring them and not taking them onboard in order to be able to stand up and say "no more".
But also of course there is this line from the movie as well...
"He killed them with their love. With their love for each other. That's how it is, every day, all over the world".
Touching on how even the good things in all of us, even the very best parts of who we are can often be used against us to do or to allow horrible things to take place. Which unfortunately is more true than people would prefer to believe or to ever think about.
As you said. These things "hit me hard in the feels".
@ Jacob Hall, Sir, I am so glad you gave that entire quote that John Coffey said starting with "I'M TIRED BOSS....." I watched so many reactors do the "Green Mile" and NOT ONE of them has included that ENTIRE quote that explains WHY John Coffey wants to die. To ME those words are the MOST IMPORTANT LINES in the entire movie. It totally tells you in a few simple sentences WHAT John has been going through his entire existence and the reason he wants to leave this world. I cry every time I watch this movie, every time.
You and I are kindred spirits. After you quoted those lines from John and then wrote "Which is a concept I understand a little too well because I have always had extreme difficulty shutting it out or trying to ignore terrible things. My inability to do that more often than not resulting in making me feeling painfully alone in the world at times. Especially as I gradually lose more and more people in my life as the years go by." WHAT YOU said there about YOURSELF, brought me to tears, because you expressed EXACTLY HOW I AM.
I have been a sensitive and empathetic person since I was a child. I am now a month and a half away to turning 76 years old. Both my parents, grandparents all my aunts and uncles, some cousins are ALL gone now. I have a hard time handling all the "ugliness that people do to each other every day" that I see in today's world. I too feel alone, as not many seem to understand how people like you and I feel. I would rather be empathetic and able to put myself in other peoples' shoes, than be a cold heartless person like Percy. BUT it also feels like a CURSE to me, because it IS PAINFULL to be the way I am. I cry so much these days when I see what is going on in the world around us, and it just makes me feel totally helpless to stop it. It's almost unbearable at times. I totally understand how you feel Mr. Hall, because I feel it TOO. THANK YOU for your comment because it lets me know that I am NOT the ONLY person in the world that has these feelings. I guess this is why I "get" John Coffey and the themes in this movie. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. Bless you Mr. Hall.
@@patticrichton1135 For the complete picture of what the character of John has been living with, you need just 1 more piece of dialogue from the movie to round it off fully.
Paul Edgecomb : John, do you know where we're taking you?
John Coffey : Help a lady?
Brutus "Brutal" Howell : That's right. But how do you know?
John Coffey : Don't know. To tell the truth, Boss, I don't know much of anything.
This short scene shows that John has a direct line into the unseen and unknowable. Access to knowledge that he simply shouldn't have for any logical or rational earthly reason. But despite that... he still doesn't understand this knowledge beyond the simple FACT of it. It's right there in front of him, as easy and effortless to access for him as breathing air. But the "why" and "what" of all these things is still completely lost to him and entirely out of his reach regardless.
I didn't include it in the above post because this is an aspect of Coffey that I cannot relate to. I neither have access to "hidden knowledge" nor have I ever had much significant struggle to understand the little knowledge that I do have. But this is still an extremely essential and important part of the John character that is absolutely necessary to fully understand the sad and lonely place that he has spent his entire life existing in.
This is one of the best movies ever. The actors played their roles so great that they gave you strong emotions.
Love this movie 😭 cry everytime. And I can watch it over and over. Such amazing acting and an amazing message.
This film broke me emotionally. Such an amazing film and performances, I cried so hard... The ultimate crime is that Michael Clarke Duncan never won the Oscar.
Loved your reaction. ❤️ The book and this film adaption never fails to make me cry. It’s just one of those stories that sticks with you.
Frank Darabont was a movie magic maker with this and Shawshank Redemption. Two of my top movies of all time. It surpasses all the rest because of the story of the human experience.
Two unsaid things in the movie: I think when John met Edgecomb, he shook his hand and saw in his heart right away. Also, it seemed like John saw something in the execution chamber. He was looking all around.
The amazing thing, is that in the book, Melinda outlives Hal. Amazing story.. ❤️ I always cry at the end..
Saw this when in was in the theaters. I outright bawled…shoulder shaking, boo hooing…at JC’s execution. (When I was younger, I can hold my emotions in check. And I was surprised that I did that.) I appreciated the fact that my husband (now ex) chose to sit at the back and that there weren’t any other movie-goers near us to hear and see me cry. This is in my top 5 movies. Glad you liked it.
P.S. Another person mentioned…The Color Purple. You must see this movie if you haven’t already. It’s also in my top five list of best films ever. Whoopi Goldberg was amazing in this.
P.P.S. In the same topic of dramatic movies that made me cry…please check out “Reign On Me”…easily in my top 20 if not top 10. This has Adam Sandler in one of his best dramatic roles IMHO. This movie also made me fall in love with Don Cheadle. 😅 Have tissues ready.
"The Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption" show Stephen King's genius. I'm a big movie buff and these two are in my top ten favorites of all time. King's villains represent the worst of humanity - and we see that in Percy Whetmore and Wild Bill, while his good characters represent the best - John Coffee and Paul (Tom Hank's character). The books are so good to read because you get all the details the movies can't totally cover. In "The Green Mile" book, when Paul was in the nursing home, he was bullied by an employee there which the movie didn't have time to cover. Anyway, I was so glad you guys reacted to this awesome movie! You two are a beautiful couple inside and out. : )
Of all the movies I've watched in my life this one was one of the few that had me crying by the end.
I haven’t seen this movie in years but watching it with you made me feel like seeing it for the first time again. Very touching. You guys are the best!
Haven't seen it in about 20 years, caught this upload as soon as y'all posted it....and didn't expect to cry along with you. I feel like Coffey sometimes. Hate and apathy is more common than love now. But until we leave this world, be the change you want to see in it.
Another Stephen King masterpiece! Amazing cast & performances, I cry every time I see it. Michael Clark Duncan should have won an Oscar for this! RIP sweet man ❤😢
This movie makes me cry every time. Such a powerful movie from Stephen King. Other drama films from him you should check out are Dolores Claiborne, Hearts in Atlantis and Stand By Me. All of them are just amazingly well done.
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan 😢 He just nailed every role, other than this my other favorite roles he played were in See Spot Run 2001 Armageddon 1998 and his Bones episode 2011 and its spinoff The Finder 2012❤
This is one of my all time favorite films. ❤ It never fails to make me cry 😢
This movie breaks my heart. I still cry for him. A gentle giant who only wanted to help others and paid a unfair price and people saying hateful things.
This was the first movie reaction I've seen you two do, EXCELLENT JOB!!!! Not only was it enjoyable seeing you react to such a great movie, and see it truly move you both, the actual video was edited perfectly. Obviously you can't upload non patron videos of the entire movie, but I didn't even notice the edit points, and where you did do them, it didn't take away from the story at all, especially if you have seen it already. Seriously, I think that was the best reaction to a movie I've yet seen, keep up the great work, Cheers!!✌️💚
I haven't seen this movie in many, many years but yes, I teared up just watching the clips and your reactions. Asia never believed that Coffey could have done that to those girls, y'all are such good hearted people!
I keep meaning to tell BJ that I envy his hat collection! Seriously, checking out which hat you're sporting is one of my favorite parts of your videos 🙂
Lastly, seeing James Cromwell in this reminded me that I'd LOVE to see you react to Babe from 1995 and its sequel if you dig it
Babe was one of my son’s favorite movies growing up:)
That and Homeward Bound
I hard cry every time I watch this movie 😂 this movie is a god damn masterpiece, Steven King’s film adaptations are outstanding. Omg it’s 3 hours? Didn’t even notice did you? 😂 y’all gotta keep going and get into “It” and “the shining” when you can
Definitely It and The Shining! Both so good! I grew up with the original It, Tim Curry is stellar.
@@amyg4961 the original 4 episodes of “IT” are savagely better than movies. Tim curry and the book accurate chapters make it a home run. The tv version of “the shinning” is pretty bad tho 😂 always watch Kubrick’s version
I was in my 20s when Stephen King put this story out.
He did it differently than his other books. Rather than one big book, he sold it as a series or sereal. Each part of the story was the size of a novelette and was less expensive than a full book. So I had to get them one at a time and waiting for the next installment drove me a little nuts.
It's actually a brilliant marketing strategy though. The full book back then would have been at least $20. There were 5 or 6 novelettes that made up the book and each one was like $6 or $7 bucks.
Do the math.
I would recommend getting the Stephen King novel and give it a read. There's a lot the movie just couldn't fit in.
Glad you enjoyed it.
If you haven't seen Schindler's List yet, it is another must watch. Personally I think it should be required viewing in schools. If you forget history you are doomed to repeat it.
Schindler's List is a true story.
I also read each monthly installment as it came out. Do you remember there was a competition at the end of each book, where you could guess what was going to happen next?
In my opinion, this movie is the best adaptation of one of Stephen King's works - and there are a few good ones.
I am so glad I checked and am catching a livestream with y'all watching one of my favorite movies. Have lots of tissues ready. Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan are 2 of my favorite actors and they outdid themselves with their performances in this movie. Makes you think. I still had the movie running in my head 2 weeks after watching it the first time, going over everything that happened. I am so glad to watch a great movie with my new "friends".
Have you made the connection that Dean the youngest crying officer is the snipper who also stares with Tom Hanks in Saving private Ryan !?
Thank you for reacted to the Green Mile it's such a powerful Michael Clarke Duncan such a great actor in this film alone he should have won an Oscar for this role it's emotional. it gets to me sometimes emotionally. I really appreciate you guys for reacted to this film. May God bless you both 🙏 with respect always your big fan Christopher
This is one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite reactions from you two. You guys are genuine. I respect that. Another perfect and emotional movie you HAVE to do is Million Dollar Baby. It's nothing short of AMAZING.
