As soon as he said that I cried straight away the way he looks up at John they love John as they know he is a good man they hate knowing they can't save his life
How good of an actor is David Morse though. He plays this role of a caring gentle giant and then plays a seasoned serial killer in disturbia. Alot of people talk about Bryan Cranstons ability to be goofy dad Hal in MITM and then Walter White in breaking bad but David Morse pulling those 2 roles off is just as impressive imo
“Roll on two.” I could hear the pain and sadness in his voice and I could see it in his eyes. He knew John was innocent and didn’t want to execute him.😢😢
Also I think that young guard had the perspective of John being a direct presence from god himself, he felt like they was probably killing someone that god put on earth to help other.
I wish the world was a better place im also tired of people being ugly to each other and the pain in the world everyday there's to much of it. It's like peices of glass in my head.
He wasn't killed for no reason, he was given the option to leave the place but he chose to let the guys help him end his life because of how sick he was of the people around him.
Yeah the ending of this movie always gets me specific fact that an innocent man died for no reason really tells you how broken are justice system is😢😢😢
Thank You Stephen King for writing this masterpiece & Thank you Frank Darabont for directing this beautifully put together movie! This scene till this very day hurts my heart & makes me cry the score is amazing the actors are fantastic!
Thomas Newman is a blimmin GENIUS!!!! The music in this film and so many others he's composed for is simply transcendent! This scene is so sad and heartfelt...the acting of all the guards, Michael Clarke Duncan and the extraordinary Tom Hanks is so powerful and moving. I can never get through this scene without crying. Cannot believe American Beauty won the Oscar instead of this beautiful masterpiece.
Yeah, that sucked. Michael Clarke Duncan or Tom Hanks should have taken it home, and it should have won Best Picture, because it teaches all of humanity a powerful lesson.
That words "Does it hurt yet?I hope it does,and i hope it hurts like hell"talk to an innocent man like that who ready to be execution really hurts like hell😢😢
1:26 "John Coffey, you've been condemmed to die in a chair by a jury of your peers. Sentence imposed by a judge in good standing in this state. Do you have to say anything before the sentence is carried out?" This guy as cop seems to be a bit serious but he's gonna cry bc all the moments that he was with John Coffey, giving support and more but he had to die on a electric chair by the state. "Roll on two". Meaning he was crying and including some of the guards were crying too.
I think that portraying John Coffey was the best role Micheal Clarke Duncan ever had. He was a great actor. He passed on too young. May he rest in peace.
Steve Mannering I like it, but I feel it would’ve cheapened the scene. The fact that it is implied (so much so that we pick up on it) but not said, makes the scene all the more powerful
He was already talking about himself, it’s apparent in his voice after already having mentioned how he feared his judgment day for carrying out this sentence. The implication is what made it beautiful and powerful. I feel anything else is way too on the nose.
Whenever I get to the part Paul says "may God have mercy on your soul!" I always feel he's saying that about himself like forgive me God for what I am about to do, for executing John Coffey more than he's saying it about John.
“On the day of my judgement, when I stand before God, and he asks me why, did I ... did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I going to say?” “You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you're hurting and worrying. I can feel it on you. But you ought to quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head... all the time. Can you understand?”
@@Fugax_8 what makes that so tragic is that Paul, Brutal, Harry and Dean see John's abilities as a gift something to be allowed to carry on using but to John its a curse as well as a gift he sees the good and bad of humanity day in day out that he's had enough death means peace for him. But it comes at the cost of the guards internal struggle of executing an innocent man who thinks of it as a kindness rather than punishment.
Dean's tears for John is what set me off and always do to this day he was devastated and whenever I watch this film Dean's crying always starts me off 😭😭😭
This scene made me cry my eyes watered so suddenly I was hoping someone would save him or intervene but no he died and the part that had me sobbing was that he was innocent
This one hit hard. You've seen multiple executions in the movie, the right way, the wrong way and this one was the final. The guard crying solidified the dread
I LOVE the hesitation in Tom Hanks giving the Order- that's ENTIRELY what makes this scene... He and his entire staff knows John's innocent; they know that even though he's been convicted, that he's innocent and they can't bring themselves to do something they know to be wrong: killing an innocent man.... But MORE than an Innocent Man, a Blessing. An Innocent Blessing, the pinnacle of God's creation, sent to do right and be light in a world full of wrong and darkness... It's like being forced to slaughter a perfectly innocent Unicorn... That hesitation is why I came here.
there are next to no moments where i cry watching a movie, however, this is just something else, no matter how many times i have seen this scene, i will always, and I mean ALWAYS, cry for 10 straight minutes, this is by far and by a mile, the best, and saddest movie scene in all of the world, and you cant convince me otherwise.
Thing is though, it sort of isn't. Many, many black people (and white people) were executed innocently, mostly due to their skin but also social stance.
For the people who just can't get why grown men would cry at this movie but not other sad moments in movies. This is the compassion of men. We know what must be done. We know it has to be done. None of us want it to be done. But it has to. It's the understanding of knowing everything that each and every one of us has to deal with and still having to move through. I understand what the character means by "you tell God that you did it out of kindness." It's the compassion to know it's wrong. It shouldn't be done. But the understanding of knowing it has to be done, and the pain everyone is going to deal with. That's what makes us cry. We understand it too well regardless of how small and insignificant our experiences are to this tale.
@@mr.noodlez9183 I think John somehow showed Paul what really happened to the & who actually killed the girls. but even then, Paul really couldn’t help or do anything to get John out of the situation he was already in.
John Coffey wanted to die. Earlier in the film he actually chooses to go ahead with the execution, even though the guards were willing to try and let him escape.
The fact that he was innocent makes this ending even sadder. He had the the size and strength to kill anyone but not the demeanor. John Coffey was afraid of the dark for goodness sake. Saddest movie ending in history.
I think that it cannot exist another heartbreaking scene like this: a feeling of blame and sadness are surrounding all the guards watching John Coffey executed by electric chair and, before dying, Brutal told John that he, Paul and all the other ones who had the pleasure of meeting him don't hate him and will love him in death too
The subtle nod from John Coffey as Brutal says you have to give the order, plus the fact that his hand lights up when Paul shakes his hand. All these little things are what nakes it such an epic movie!!! 😢😢😢
Simple… he wasn’t. The rest were just good at keeping appearances. But you can see them starting to bawl and cry and break apart. Dean probably can’t hide his emotions like the others. But that in no way means he was alone in the suffering and crying. But because no one else saw John Coffey for who and what he truly was. An innocent gift from god himself with the ability to heal and help and the will to do so they had to stay stoic for the crowd who only saw the monster that they mistakingly thought he was.
Dam those onions are strong today.... Aww fuck it I cried my eyes out nearly. Knowing you killing a angel. Oh man... Brilliant film just so sad at the end.
If you look closely at the guy in the room with the switches & lever (Van Hay is his name), he didn’t want to be the guy who killed a guy who was proven innocent. He must’ve heard about John Coffey’s truth at some point in the movie before this very scene. My theory anyway.
i have a confession to make: i was watching this with my little brother once, and he started laughing just because john was crying, i got up, slapped him hardly twice. you could assassinate my whole family, lock me in any asylum, and rip me apart, and i wont care, but insulting this scene is where i lose my cool.
Shawshank gets talked about better, but I’ll take The Green Mile over Shawshank everyday. Incredible story. Michael Clarke Duncan not getting an Oscar for this movie is THE biggest snub in awards history. Outstanding performance.
'feel how we feel then... we don't hate you'
I'm already crying!
S.L. S. Nothing to be ashamed of, I cry at this scene too.
that bit always hurts because i always thought maybe he didnt feel it, but john was kind and didn't want them to feel bad!
As soon as he said that I cried straight away the way he looks up at John they love John as they know he is a good man they hate knowing they can't save his life

awwww i saw it too its so heartbreaking😭🙏
Even Van Hay was barely holding back his emotions having to actually be the man who rolled on two
One of the saddest endings in movie history made all the worse knowing that he was innocent. Everyone involved in this movie did such a superb job.
To this day I can't watch this without crying. Dean's tears for John always starts me off he looks so devastated locking John into the chair.
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 the music really adds to the scene too
Yes totally agree
This is the only film I’ve ever seen grown men cry at. It’s so well written and performed
@@Gencturk92 why would terminator 2 make people cry?
Schindlers list.
i watched it with my dad, and yes...my dad cried
@@Gencturk92What dude cries on Titanic?
@@ajl8975that was funny
An innocent man died because he'd had enough for the last 200 years (hence the scars on his back) He was an empath and couldn't take anymore.
Which means Paul has (at bare minimum) 92 more years to go at the end of the movie
I love the slight nod by Coffey at 4:09 as if to say “It’s OK, go ahead Boss”
Damn the other guy was really crying seeing how kind john is...
The Speedster Hero: Green Runner I’d be the same
Also I think that young guard had the perspective of John being a direct presence from god himself, he felt like they was probably killing someone that god put on earth to help other.
I felt sick after watching this because I was sickened at watching an innocent soul being killed for no reason
That's how it is everyday. That's how it is all over the world.

,,We don't hate you."
John may be more calm after this line
Yeah, John was innocent but at least he was freed of his pain.
Only words which would have made this scene better ; “may god have mercy on your soul...and mine...”
Steve Mannering I like it, but I feel it would’ve cheapened the scene. The fact that it is implied (so much so that we pick up on it) but not said, makes the scene all the more powerful
I think when Paul said that, he was actually talking about himself. God doesn't need to put mercy on John's soul.....
problem with that line though is, John had given Paul permission to execute him, in fact he said he wanted it.
i think the handshake was the « and mind »
He was already talking about himself, it’s apparent in his voice after already having mentioned how he feared his judgment day for carrying out this sentence. The implication is what made it beautiful and powerful. I feel anything else is way too on the nose.

This is when i started crying 2:00
3:32 even Simon Pegg did not hold his tears because John Coffey was NOT INNOCENT. Although the people slanderous John was a Criminal
what did he actually do throughout the film tho
It takes alot for me to cry but this scene will always send tears running down my face. One of the saddest moments in cinema
My friend: OMG Titanic is soooooo sad
Me: No it's not
My friend: What? Have you ever cried while watching a movie?
Me:
“Wipe ur face before u stand up , Dean” him crying just shows how much he didn’t want to that and George was innocent
Amazing quality . Thanks xxxxxxxxxxx
When he says he's scared of the dark. I cry every time 😢
That really broke me into a billion peaces plus made me so sad was even crying but John Coffey was special😭😫❤️😥
Coffey: Please, boss... don't put that thing over my face. Don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark.
1:53
Edgecomb: Alright, John.
I’m sobbing….😣😭
I think we can all agree that any film that has Tom Hanks in it is going to be great!
This is when i started crying and could not stop. I was glad i was alone
I'm glad this is just a film

This is a jewel of all movies it's so sad they people blamed him for another man's crimes
Yup after what almost 25 years of this movie being out and it still made me tear up to see the ending.

I really did start crying at 4:25
I wish he held his hand the entire time
Coffey's Voice: "He Killed them what they love. That's how it is every day all over the world."
It just proves many innocent people have died by this or an other way but a great film even I cried witch takes a lot for me
He is sorry for what he is.......no one should be sorry for walking amongst us 😥😥😥😥😥
Truly a modern day classic movie. An emotional scene beautifully acted by all. Always get me
It's a very sad scene 😭

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
