      ​@@Tge97That's exactly a point I've thought about many times! The guards were like the Roman soldiers, who, despite knowing in their hearts who he was, took him to his death. John Coffey was like Jesus Christ with the performing of miracles, healing, and suffering for the state of humanity. Before I was a Christian, I felt that the guards did the right thing. Now, I realize that what they did was very, very wrong.

    That was Sam Rockwell, he plays such a good skeeze. And John Coffey’s initials are JC on purpose. I think this cast is excellent. Those aren’t flies it’s ‘darkness’ or ‘evil’ or ‘death’ anything bad. When you watch it again you’ll notice that it dissipates in the light.

    As a disabled guy who has had many urine infections or UTIs, I can tell you the pain isn’t just where you think it is. Sure, it’s excruciating and stings, but it’s also the headache, sweating and dizziness, cramping and you feel like you have to go when you don’t. Oh, and you ache everywhere. Everywhere. Not fun.

      I read the novel in its complete published form, rather than the six separate books. This is one of those rare times when I wish I hadn’t, simply because the adaptation to film by Frank Darabont was complete in its own right.

Back in 1935 there were no antibiotics to give for urinary tract infections. Just sulfur tablets. Also back in 1935 before more women's rights came out the doctors would give the husband's the choice of letting them know if they were going to die or not.

    @dionysiacosmos ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I'm 20 years into the book and the film. It took a long time before I could think about the story objectively. First, the JC allegory is very deliberate. Mr King loves him some Christian fables. Second, John Coffey is always obeyed. It's easy to miss because he's so soft spoken. If John ( or the power that works through him ) decides to act, he is not interfered with. The guards often hang back when they start to move forward. They move back when John is transferring the evil effluent to Percy, then when Percy ( in very obviously in distress ) walks away from them down the corridor they stay where they are until AFTER Percy shoots Bill. Those are just two examples. It actually happens several times. In keeping with the Christ allegory, if John had wished for a different outcome he could have made it happen.
    Lastly, is the question: How old is John? He has scars on his back that suggest he was beaten as a child. But when was he a child? Does he know how things are all over the world because he's been there? Some of these questions are answered in the book but none of the big ones. I definitely recommend reading it.

    You're right to compare this with The Shining. John has a very strong version of "The Shine" which is why he can predict what is going to happen and why he is so empathetic. Percy is such an evil man and is a prime example of how Stephen King shows that the real monsters are sometimes regular humans

    The actor who played the burned prisoner, Delecroix, was Michael Jeter. He came out as gay, and was HIV+. He lived for 18 years with his partner, Sean Blue, until he died unexpectedly of complications from a seizure in 2003. I don't know if the seizure was HIV-related, but it could have been. I have had a couple friends die of AIDS dementia, which often includes seizures. Anyway, he's been in things you will have heard of, including Sister Act 2, and Jurassic Park III. His was cremated, just 50 years old. I literally have never heard a bad word about him, from anyone who knew him. Seeing him here, like this, is always very hard for me, knowing all this. He and I had a lot in common. You guys' sensitivity to things is quite refreshing. There is a lot of real pain in the world. Movies can give a taste of that, and can take it away, too. There is a lot of good in the world. If you want to see some, I recommend, "To Wong Foo." No spoilers even about the cast. Be surprised. Be very surprised.
    Oh, and please, be forever against the death penalty. 5% of the time, they have killed an innocent person, and the sentencing is racially biased. I don't want to pay some guard to murder someone.
    Last thought, I promise. William Sadler, who played the little girls' father, he has been in a bunch of things, but I want to recommend just one, which was Jada Pinkett's movie debut, before she met and married Will. That movie is, "Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight." You will likely recognise most of the people in it. CCH Pounder is still acting today. Be well.

  • @cmock810

    I spoiled this movie for myself because I read the book first. I used to be a huge Stephen King fan and had read all of his books when I was younger. As much as I loved all of his books, I hated that I didn't get to experience this movie in the same way that everyone else did. I still LOVED the movie but I didn't get to have those shocking moments because I knew what to expect and knew what the truth was. I think this is why I love watching reactors watch it because I get to watch you experience what I didn't.

Doug Hutchison (aka Percy) married a 16 years old girl when he was 51 years old.
