@@iskywalking420 if you have an issue, take it up with Stephen King. He wrote it and the Christ comparisons were no accident. I mean, he isn't some pastor. Guess he is just secure enough to draw from religious materials instead of attack them.
@@greenpeasuit Yea man. So profound. Religion is so sophisticated and elegant. I can't compute. Someone should study that book. Might be some money in it.
For some context, the average lifespan of a common fieldmouse(which is most likely Mr. Jingles species) is around 1 year in the wild(due to predation), and 3 years in captivity. Assume we take the 3 year number. The average lifespan of a human Male in 1935 is reported to be 59.9 years, which we will round to 60 years. At the time Older Paul told Elaine about Mr. Jingles, 64 years had passed. (He was 108 now and 44 at the time.) Now, if we divide 64 by the 3 years a mouse in captivity can live, the math tells us that Mr. Jingles lived 21.3 lifetimes longer than the average mouse at least. Now if we take that number and apply it to Paul, it comes to 1,260 human years he could expect to live. And he's only on 108. Of course, it's entirely possible that the number of years was a set number rather than a proportional percentage. Still, it's a terrifying thought.
I did some quick figuring based on a 2-year mouse lifespan, and came up with a proportional life span for Paul of about 2000 years. However, Paul only looks (to me) to be about 25 years younger than his actual age; at the rate his body is degrading, I figure he'll live to be about 200 years old maximum. You think that sounds right?
John Coffey was many things in this movie. Aside from being a Healer, he was also an Empath (One who can feel the pain of others). He was also a Seer (One who can see things that are not within his direct sight). But, his greatest gift was the ability to heal others. He could absorb evil (Pain, sickness, death, hate, etc.) and release it back into the ether, from which it came. This was done in the form of the "insects" that came from his mouth, that would disperse and dissipate.
Hey, Alex and Ken. I just found your channel thanks to the algorithm. If this is your first movie reaction, it's very good. The editing and off the cuff commentary were great. You both have amazing personalities. Alex's comments cracked me up! I hope you'll react to more movies. I'll definitely be here for every one. I don't know if you saw at the end that this movie is an adaptation of Stephen Kings' novel of the same name. The Shawshank Redemption is a King novel as well. It's as good a movie as this one. Thank you for your channel. I'm so glad I've found it. Thank you for making me laugh so hard, Alex. I needed that.
Great reaction to a very good movie.. I laugh at how young people act like 1999 was a hundred years back. Trust me.. when you get into a daily routine of life and responsibility and worries, time will start to fly by *so fast.* Before you even realize it, you will both be in your 50's watching some amazing tech machine and a future young couple will say, "Hey, today we are going to react to one of those very very Old movies from way back in 2024". And you will think, "wow, 2024?" "that seems like just a couple of years ago... where did the time go?"
When I watch this movie, it always reminds me of the miracle that happened to me, 53 years ago now. It’s not something you forget, but real miracles do happen. Loved your reaction.
It's a lonely road to walk when you witness a true miracle of God. Even though 3 of my children witnessed it too, others still look at me like I'm mental when I speak of it. You can hear others tell you, read them in the bible, or see them in movies, but one can never prepare themselves for how profound it is if it happens to them. I read your post and didn't feel so alone. Thanks and God bless.
@@angelastewart7049 You are exactly right. People get very uncomfortable when you talk about it. I guess it’s understandable, but very frustrating. God gave me a very special gift, and you just want to share it. God bless you and your family.
Indoor plumbing is a fairly recent addition to modern homes. A century ago, many rural homes did not have an indoor toilet. Many still used "out houses" that were just a booth with a hole cut in the seat, under which you dug a hole. When the hole was full, you dug a new hole and set the out house over it, then buried the old hole.
The story takes place in 1930's South in Louisiana during the Great Depression. The inmate Eduard Delacroix is Cajun from Louisiana. French is still spoken in areas throughout Louisiana.
Sam Rockwell, who played the character Wild Bill Wharton, had a great run of movies during this time period. For a movie with him in it that's a completely different feel (and featuring the great Alan Rickman, among others) you might enjoy "Galaxy Quest."
Your channel has gained a new subscriber. I have really enjoyed your reactions and I am looking forward to watching more of them, including reactions to movies and perhaps TV series, such as K-dramas.
John Coffey is a Christ figure. He appeared out of nowhere, as if he had just “fallen out of the sky.” He had foreknowledge of future events. He can see the good or evil that is in men’s hearts. He can heal illness and afflictions and resurrect the dead (if it’s not too late). He is innocent, with a pure soul, yet he is made to suffer and die because of the sins and wickedness of others. And even his initials are J.C., just like Jesus. (Recall the scene where John is watching his first-ever flicker show, and the light from the movie projector is illuminating his head from behind, just like a halo: The Christian symbolism is unmistakable.) John has an acute, highly developed sense of empathy, which is why he can feel Del’s pain from afar. Unfortunately, this also means that Coffey can sense all of the cruelty, suffering, and evil going on in the world around him - an ability that he is unable to control or turn off, by the way - which caused him great distress over the course of his lifetime, eventually prompting him to seek relief through death…
Man, starting on “The Green Mile.” That’s an intense experience. I first saw this when I was 8 at my aunt and uncle’s and it was so intense, but it made me feel such emotions so intensely. It’s definitely a special film.
I'm not an anime guy, but I watch a lot of movie reactions, and this is my first time watching your channel. This was an excellent reaction. I hope you do more first-time movie reactions.
Water is very conductive and a sponge holds that water in it. With electricity it has better conductivity so the electricity travels faster and better so the person in the chair feels it less. They called it more humane
One difference is the reason he died. It's a huge difference when you compare the two. So, there is a likeness, sure. But that's as far as I would take that.
Tom Hanks (Paul Edgecomb) and James Cromwell (Warden Hal Moores) were offered the roles of Andy Dufresne and Warden Sam Norton, respectively, in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", but turned them down. Hanks was working on Forrest Gump at the time, and Cromwell turned down the role in favor of Bob Gunton. Other cast members from this movie who appeared in "The Shawshank Redemption" include Jeffrey DeMunn (the guard Terwilliger), who played the Prosecuting attorney at the beginning of the movie; William Sadler (Klaus Detterich), who played a prisoner named Heywood, and Brian Libby (the Sheriff who arrests John Coffey), who played a prisoner named Lloyd. Someone once said that John Coffey died letting the girls' parents believe that he killed their daughters because he didn't want them to live with the knowledge that the real killer was someone that they let into their home. Sam Rockwell said he had trouble with the scene where he threatens the two girls because they had become good friends. When the filmed the scene they couldn't stop laughing. Doug Hutchison offered to pay $20 to anyone who could recite his lines during the Del execution scene word for word by heart. Several people successfully quoted the lines. What Hutchison didn't know was that they were reading the lines on giant cue cards that people were holding up behind Hutchison's back.
It always surprises me that people don't expect something supernatural from the story. It is Stephen King. Also, it doesn't matter how old the movie is it? It depends on the actual story period
Percy (Doug Hutchinson) after this movie went to Salt lake City and married a very young teenage girl and was blacklisted by Hollywood. We wont be seeing him anymore.. I especially enjoyed watching this young ladies reactions to the movie, I think she has the tender sweet heart of a young lady
I am always fascinated when people, who have never seen this movie before, have been watching it for around an hour or so thinking they are watching a serious dramatic movie about death row inmates and the prison guards, AND BAM, next thing you know you're not only watching a dramatic movie but also a supernatural movie. It is my opinion that it was a conscious decision for the director and screen writer(s) NOT to include the reasons why the inmates were on death row. If the audience actually knew of the heinous crimes they committed, then they might not be as sympathetic for their plight. But yes, they had all been charged for some brutal murder(s).
Back in 1930's, the justice system was not fair for the poor and POC especially. Prisoners in the South were often declared guilty without proper legal defense. Jurors were typically male and always White. The attorney for John said there was no evidence of John's existence before his arrest, "If was as if he dropped from the sky. " There is a lot of religious symbolism throughout the film. The flying "insects" symbolizes disease, evil and death. John has scars on his back resembling stigmata. John recognizes the constellations in the night sky. The large cathedral-like windows over the guards desk show rays of light onto the green mile The light from the movie projector surrounds John's head like a halo.
Hey guys, I really enjoyed your reaction. You should check out other Tom Hanks movies like Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump or Cast Away if you haven't seen them. Another great movie that most reacters overlook is Only The Brave with Josh Brolin and Miles Teller - a great movie. Jojo Rabbit from 2019 is funny and is a great movie as well. I'm curious to see what you do next.
Came here looking for this comment. I couldn't agree more. He's a creep. I'm not sure how much of this performance was acting versus him just letting his guard down.
Rest in peace Michael Duncan. (JOHN COFFEY) he passed away way too young that's for sure. He also played in Talladega Nights (comedy film) with Wull Farrel. That would be a great reaction movie for yall. I mean if you want. Ita funny
Stephen King is an amazing writer. Most people think of him as the master of horror but most of his best stories are not horror stories they are stories about people living life during difficult times.
Hi Guys. Ray here. This is one of those movies that is a masterpiece from the old days, but hit like a truck. Thats the reason i gave you a Comedy for August. Alex you said you seen "Miracle in Cell #7" But Ken has not "Yet". Would you like to watch it again Alex, so Ken can watch it with you?? Enjoy the Comedy from me for August👍👍. ❤❤❤ Ray.
I was what? 11 years old when i first saw it.. i had school the day after. But for some reason this movie called my attention....i sat through the whole thing.... I broke when johns death came on. My dad came crashing when he saw ehat i was watching . He just sat down next to me and said " ok"
Nice to you, you picked a good one to pick up subscribers 😊 get some more with The true story of Desmond Doss in Hacksaw Ridge or Go for it with War Horse a story about a young British lad and his love for his horse.. Anyway I enjoyed your reaction 😊
31:45 John could feel dale's pain through the mouse because dale loved the mouse. And remember John Coffey said he kil them with they love. And since Dale loved the mouse John could feel the pain through the love between dale and the mouse
Del was convicted and sentenced for (accidentally) burning to death several people in a fire he set to an (supposedly) abandoned building. Read the novel.
Now we just need you both to react to "The Impossible" if you haven't already. It's based on a true story. Also react to "Shawshank Redemption" which is a top notch fantastic movie! Both Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption are made by the same producer. And y'all did an amazing reaction to this film.
I'm glad you guys are starting to now react to real movies... you need to watch the other two Tom Hanks movies around that time Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump...
They don't say the crimes of the other two inmates in the film but in the book Del raped and killed a little girl then accidentally killed 6 people by setting a fire to cover up his crime... and Arlen accidentally killed a man during a bar fight.
How long has John Coffey been on this earth helping people and seeing all the terrible things people do to each other. Since the Civil War? The Last Supper?
Percy has what we call "Small Man Syndrome " he is like a little dog. He has to act bad and mean because of his size but back when he went to school he probably got his butt kicked all the time lol
1. YOU WILL CRY😭😭 2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production, so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie". 3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. (most likely a racial thing. It was 1935 South.) 4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row. 5. This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (MCD) and Best Cast but unfortunately neither won.😭😭 6. Players in other King adaptations: Jeffery DeMunn: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, Storm of the Century and William Sadler: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist. David Morse: The Langoliers. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part. 7. Movie magic Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene. 8. IRL James Cromwell is a vegan and didn't want to grill meat for the BBQ scene but was told that in 1935 people actually ate meat so he agreed to have some on the grill. 9. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. BTW Kudos to Doug Hutchison for the great job of playing Percy. EVERYONE hates him.🤬🤬🤬🤬 10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge. 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clarke Duncan. They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look taller. 12 The scene where John takes Mr. Jingles for safe keeping before Del's execution, they used a real mouse, and it pooped on Paul's shoulder, and he brushed it off. 13. Now we know what the "leftover is fine" dry toast is for. 14 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced. the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. (GOAT)🤩 15. Four words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!
I think movies really reached the peak in the 90's/early 2000's and then they started being less good, sure the special effects have improved but anything else just went backwards..
Chief Arlen Bitterbuck beat a man to death with a chunk of concrete block, arguing about a pair of SHOES! Eduard Delacroix raped an underage girl, murdered her to conceal THAT crime, then incinerated her corpse to conceal THAT crime, and caused a fire that killed MORE innocent people! John Coffey WANTED to die, although he was innocent, and held no grudge against his executioners. Anyone care to shed a tear for William Wharton, or even Percy Wetmore?!?!? Save your tears and your outrage!!!
Shawshank is considered by many to be the best movie ever( not me,The Godfather to me) Same director and based on Steven King's short story. @@KelvinReacts1
John Coffey... JC JC... Jesus Christ. When John tells Tim Hanks what to say to "the Father" at his judgement, remember that Jesus referred to "the Father" in heaven when He would speak of God in heaven.
Old folks' home -- after a life of work and keeping tabs on kids and grandkids, seems like an oasis of relaxation and no cares. NOT TRUE, but I won't go into details. Just remember there's still medicines, dr office visits to get driven to, so many tasks AND THEY ALL HAVE TO BE PAID FOR! Speaking of paying for stuff, Percy paid for his temperament by being careless and stupid, just as Paul said to Hal earlier in the movie; Percy paid for his terrible inhumanity with his sanity.
As much as Del seemed nice, what he did made me feel nothing when he suffered all that pain in the electric chair being how all the people he killed suffered while burning to death in a building he set fire to cover up the rape of a child. They left that out on purpose to hit you in the feels for Del. So knowing this prior to seeing the movie, no sympathy from me.
Since it’s one of your first movie reactions, I’ll offer some suggestions. To me, the worst reactors are: 1. Squeamish people who cover their eyes and don’t even see what the filmmaker is presenting… and 2. Reactors who try to guess the ending, creating their own spoilers. In this case, correctly guessing “an innocent man is accused” before the movie even started, ruined the reaction for me, and I immediately lost any desire to watch it. Seeing a genuine reaction to surprises and plot twists is the best part of watching reactions… FYI
I couldn't stand your reaction. They talked like parrots from the beginning, giving their opinion on everything they saw, they even talked over the dialogues of the film. I would never watch a movie with you!
Does anyone know why john coffey was afraid of the dark? He was a fallen angel, thats why the lawyer said it's as if he fell from the sky. That is why John was afraid of the dark, it's only light in heaven never darkness.

Thank you Ray! 🙏🏼❤️
So basically, this is an early X-Men movie. ;)
Please consider watching "The Shawshank Redemption" It's another great prison movie and written by the same author Stephen King
I was what? 11 years old when i first saw it.. i had school the day after. But for some reason this movie called my attention....i sat through the whole thing.... I broke when johns death came on. My dad came crashing when he saw ehat i was watching . He just sat down next to me and said " ok"
hey guys , loved your reaction!! i hope you realize that johns initials are, J C !!!
Thank you and yeah only now we realised it
That's alright, but I really did enjoy you're reaction!!!👏👏👏👏👏
I feel sorry for people not knowing anything about the film in the intro. Like all of us I’m thinking, “oh this is gonna rock you” 🤣
Start doing regular movies like this and I'll definitely watch all of them.Good luck to TH-cam.I'm a new subscriber.Let's see what you got
Thank you so much! And thank you for the support!
@@KelvinReacts1 you both did great and are very refreshing. Thank you for taking your time out to entertain us all.
Thanks!
Thanking you!
Nice to you, you picked a good one to pick up subscribers 😊 get some more with The true story of Desmond Doss in Hacksaw Ridge or Go for it with War Horse a story about a young British lad and his love for his horse.. Anyway I enjoyed your reaction 😊
31:45 John could feel dale's pain through the mouse because dale loved the mouse. And remember John Coffey said he kil them with they love. And since Dale loved the mouse John could feel the pain through the love between dale and the mouse
Wow. Are you gonna cry here?? Yep...
Del was convicted and sentenced for (accidentally) burning to death several people in a fire he set to an (supposedly) abandoned building.
Read the novel.
Now we just need you both to react to "The Impossible" if you haven't already. It's based on a true story. Also react to "Shawshank Redemption" which is a top notch fantastic movie! Both Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption are made by the same producer.
And y'all did an amazing reaction to this film.
"He sounds gay." in reference to Percy. lol Insert Seinfeld "Not that there's anything wrong with that" GIF.
i was just thinking about that lmfaoo
Nice reaction guys but you GOTTA WATCH INTERSTELLAR NEXT👍🏻
If you are looking for movies to bawl your eyes out, may I recommend you Bicentennial Man?
I'm glad you guys are starting to now react to real movies... you need to watch the other two Tom Hanks movies around that time Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump...
I really enjoyed your reaction. Definitely top five movie on my list.🤙🏼
Thank you and yeah such a good movie for sure!
Getting old really sucks. R I P. Michael Clark Duncan.✌️❤️🙏🙏🙏
They don't say the crimes of the other two inmates in the film but in the book Del raped and killed a little girl then accidentally killed 6 people by setting a fire to cover up his crime... and Arlen accidentally killed a man during a bar fight.
How long has John Coffey been on this earth helping people and seeing all the terrible things people do to each other. Since the Civil War? The Last Supper?
🔥
You guys should check out they call me trinity 1970.
Percy has what we call "Small Man Syndrome " he is like a little dog. He has to act bad and mean because of his size but back when he went to school he probably got his butt kicked all the time lol
Ya'll definitely have to watch Shawshank redemption also by Steven King and the same director Frank Darabont
1. YOU WILL CRY😭😭
2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production, so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie".
3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. (most likely a racial thing. It was 1935 South.)
4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row.
5. This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (MCD) and Best Cast but unfortunately neither won.😭😭
6. Players in other King adaptations: Jeffery DeMunn: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist,
Storm of the Century and William Sadler: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist. David Morse: The Langoliers. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part.
7. Movie magic Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene.
8. IRL James Cromwell is a vegan and didn't want to grill meat for the BBQ scene but
was told that in 1935 people actually ate meat so he agreed to have some on the grill.
9. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. BTW Kudos to Doug Hutchison for the great job of playing Percy. EVERYONE hates him.🤬🤬🤬🤬
10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge.
11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clarke Duncan. They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look taller.
12 The scene where John takes Mr. Jingles for safe keeping before Del's execution, they used a real mouse, and it pooped on Paul's shoulder, and he brushed it off.
13. Now we know what the "leftover is fine" dry toast is for.
14 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced.
the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. (GOAT)🤩
15. Four words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!
JC = John Coffey = Jesus Christ
Two movie characters I hate Percy and Commadus from Gladiator.
10:58 "SDE"?! Coming from an Asian person, that is crazy!!
😂😂😂
10:59 Hey! Don't body shame us micro-pp havers!
I think movies really reached the peak in the 90's/early 2000's and then they started being less good, sure the special effects have improved but anything else just went backwards..
Ahah yes the stories back then were elite
Hacksaw ridge is good
yo bro you want some badass action movies to react to? react to pacific rim
The murders at least know when they are going to die and why! Their victims didn't!
Chief Arlen Bitterbuck beat a man to death with a chunk of concrete block, arguing about a pair of SHOES!
Eduard Delacroix raped an underage girl, murdered her to conceal THAT crime, then incinerated her corpse to conceal THAT crime, and caused a fire that killed MORE innocent people!
John Coffey WANTED to die, although he was innocent, and held no grudge against his executioners.
Anyone care to shed a tear for William Wharton, or even Percy Wetmore?!?!?
Save your tears and your outrage!!!
Great Reaction, Check out “Shawshank Redemption “
Thank you and we’ll keep it in mind
Shawshank is considered by many to be the best movie ever( not me,The Godfather to me) Same director and based on Steven King's short story. @@KelvinReacts1
great reaction, "Saving Private Ryan" your next reaction...?????
Thank you and we shall see aha
Please react to transformer movie
Nope, you don’t want to know what Del did.
John Coffey... JC
JC... Jesus Christ.
When John tells Tim Hanks what to say to "the Father" at his judgement, remember that Jesus referred to "the Father" in heaven when He would speak of God in heaven.
Oh wow we see that!
Old folks' home -- after a life of work and keeping tabs on kids and grandkids, seems like an oasis of relaxation and no cares. NOT TRUE, but I won't go into details. Just remember there's still medicines, dr office visits to get driven to, so many tasks AND THEY ALL HAVE TO BE PAID FOR! Speaking of paying for stuff, Percy paid for his temperament by being careless and stupid, just as Paul said to Hal earlier in the movie; Percy paid for his terrible inhumanity with his sanity.
Please do more movies And I’ll sub. 🎉
Ahah yes more movies planned for the future!
As much as Del seemed nice, what he did made me feel nothing when he suffered all that pain in the electric chair being how all the people he killed suffered while burning to death in a building he set fire to cover up the rape of a child. They left that out on purpose to hit you in the feels for Del. So knowing this prior to seeing the movie, no sympathy from me.
Since it’s one of your first movie reactions, I’ll offer some suggestions. To me, the worst reactors are: 1. Squeamish people who cover their eyes and don’t even see what the filmmaker is presenting… and 2. Reactors who try to guess the ending, creating their own spoilers. In this case, correctly guessing “an innocent man is accused” before the movie even started, ruined the reaction for me, and I immediately lost any desire to watch it. Seeing a genuine reaction to surprises and plot twists is the best part of watching reactions… FYI
Gay has a sound?
I couldn't stand your reaction. They talked like parrots from the beginning, giving their opinion on everything they saw, they even talked over the dialogues of the film. I would never watch a movie with you!
I'm surprised you watch any reactions at all.
They’re reacting to the movie…..if you want to watch the movie without talking then watch the whole movie by yourself
I cant stand this comment! Its like someone doesnt understamd the concept of a reaction 😂
Does anyone know why john coffey was afraid of the dark? He was a fallen angel, thats why the lawyer said it's as if he fell from the sky. That is why John was afraid of the dark, it's only light in heaven never darkness.
Now you guys are ready for Tom's penultimate performance in Forrest Gump
We still have the death penalty in 27 states here in the USA. Most of us still believe the punishment should fit the crime.
Last reaction guys but a bit more volume on the movie please. And a bit more footage would did you more views.
