The Green Mile (1999) Was An *EMOTIONAL* Rollercoaster MOVIE REACTION!!! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!!

[@art2736]

It's no coincidence that John Coffey has the same initials as Jesus Christ. Per Stephen King

[@intodaysepisode...]

No conspiracy at all!

[@Tge97]

Well I mean he basically is with the ending of him dieing for the sins of everyone in the verse.

[@hv3926]

Pure Stephen King.

[@dannyt286]

It’s actually a common thing done in literary works as I was made aware of by an English prof in college. Very good observation, man

[@veggiesarefruits]

​@@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.

[@gabrielcrim8598]

The line when John says " you tell the Lord it was a kindness you did for me" makes me cry.

[@myroselle6987]

You and me both my friend. When he says he’s like a “sparrow in the rain…” touches me also. Then, at the end “……..Oh God, sometimes the green mile seems so long…”

[@crawdaddy2004]

The line that gets me literally every time is “Don’t put me in the dark. I’s afraid of the dark.”

[@83gemm]

The line that haunts me is, “He killed them with their love.” The idea that they didn’t cry for help because they didn’t want the other to be hurt is just brutal.

[@worldpeace6322]

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.

Hello. I will watch anybody that reacts to the Green Mile if they give it 40 minutes or more reaction time. You did a great job at reacting to it. 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. I'm happy to say I'm going to subscribe to you because you did such a great job with this movie. 😊

[@SheliaKillingsworth]

John Coffey was an angel. He said he’s been walking for a long time. He feels the pain and the evil and the love. From all over the world. When he say I’m in heaven, he wants to go home back to heaven. I don’t even think he knows that he’s an angel. A sweet angel.

[@christhornycroft3686]

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 actually take a preventative medication every day to avoid getting it. I’ve been lucky the last couple of years in that respect.

[@Belladonna313]

Yep I remember I got one when I was 19 and I couldn’t even stand up straight. Had to phone the hospital crying saying I didn’t know what was wrong but I constantly needed to pee but no pee came out 😂

[@BadAssSykO]

I think I remember the actor who played Percy Whitmore did an interview many years after this movie was released, and he said that he hated the character Percy and he took the role just to see if he could play a person like Percy that the whole world would ABSOLUTELY HATE.

[@crepesoftime]

And he did a fantastic job. Many people have said they've NEVER hated a character more.

Of all the reactors I have seen watch this movie, Cam is the only one that has figured out who John is. Now that you know, you will get a bunch of the clues. Another parallel...there were 3 executed like there were 3 crucified on crosses. I loved your reaction & commentary.

[@danayneal4409]

And "Paul" is left behind to spread the word of the miracles he witnessed.

[@kellifranklin4432]

This is why Stephen King is unmatched in writing horror, drama, and fantasy. His ability to tell stories is remarkable. This is the only book I've ever read that made me cry as much as when I watched the movie. I enjoyed y'alls reactions and commentary as always.

[@dr.k8610]

I will stand by the fact that King is not a horror author. He is a brilliant drama author and character writer who puts his characters in horrifying situations

[@williambryan3346]

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. All of the details that were left out of the film just made me feel sad and depressed, especially when I read how Jan died.

[@RolandDeschain1]

THE GREEN MILE is one of the very best things Stephen King has ever written.

The description I the story of the UTI is brutal and it also explains that a doctor couldn’t give you much for it back then because the antibiotic for it wasn’t available yet. His option was to wait it out or take sulfa tablets and puke for a week. He thought it cleared up on its own but then it returned stronger. The text describing the pain, burning, fever, and helplessness is very vivid. One of the top reactions to Percy stomping on Mr. Jingles I’ve seen. I’m right there with you.

This movie is such a classic and still a year jerker idc how long it's been out. Most definitely a timeless movie and a great film.

[@SirPaladin]

The book this is based on actually revealed everyone's crime on Death Row, including Del- he assaulted and killed a girl, then set fire to her body to cover it up. The fire spread to an apartment complex and killed several other people.

[@sagittarius420cheefie]

Yup

[@83gemm]

And it was SUPER smart to leave it out of the film, because their crime isn’t the focus of their lives at the time of the story. You’d never be able to have sympathy for Del in the limited time of a film if you knew his crime. In the text, there’s time to explain that there’s more than evil in them (except in the case of Wild Bill)

[@elizabethstrong6057]

Not just assault, r*ped. Yeah no one would've felt much mercy for him if they knew that.

[@thefabfabs]

His death makes some sense tho now

[@injunsun]

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.

[@dionysiacosmos]

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.

[@Hey_Jamie]

Yeah, the reason it took Del so long to die even after flames spewed out of his face was because John was absorbing the pain for him

[@timmeyers6141]

Fun fact: this is based on a Stephen King novel which was originally published in serial format in six parts being released over time. I read it as it was published and it was a lot of fun to read in that format.

Frank Darabont put three of Stephen King's stories on film, and all three are cinematic masterpieces. You've seen The Green Mile, now that leaves The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist.

I am highly impressed by your commentary after viewing this movie. You 2 went more in depth than any that I’ve seen…the mile encompassing the journey of life itself, the lights exploding and going out at Johns death, comparisons of light and dark. I always enjoy you guys reactions.

This is one of my favorite movies eventhough its so sad it just breaks me everytime i see it. Its just a beautiful story and a heartbreaking one.

Love your reaction! Especially the way you called out the context issues. Any portion of this movie, seen alone, would give you an incredibly incorrect impression of reality. Such is life. How can we ever really know the whole truth? Wild Bill got what he deserved, but John did not kill him out of anger, it was mercy. When Bill grabbed John, John saw his whole life, not just the murder. He saw how Bill got so broken. And he showed Bill mercy because Bill was too far gone to help or heal. Percy was the same. There was no malice in John's actions.

You guys should do more classics. There is a list of 100 best films ever. See all those films.

Great reaction. Cam I thought you were so funny. When the mouse was stepped on, OMG, your screaming, noooooo. Pretty much what everyone does. Lordy, and your gagging. LOL. I really am surprised your didn't cry. You are the first one that hasn't among all the other reactors that have watched this movie. I think Percy is one of the top 5 characters hated by everyone.

The world lost one helluva man and actor when Michael Clark Duncan died. His portrayal of John Coffey was, imo, his greatest performance. Loved MCD.

Best reaction I have seen!!!R.I.P.-JC

[@tljscrewjob6397]

Never actually seen this movie. Now I get to watch along with you guys! Awesome.

Cams frustration is real man

[@llanitedave]

You raise a good question. Is the long life a blessing or a curse? It could be argued that every blessing is also a curse in it's way.

[@annrabie7988]

This movie gets me crying everytime I see it. Thanks for your reaction. I'm a big Stephen King fan, and definitely found this story to be different. Love you guys. 🤗

[@GatBlackistan]

There are few things funnier than Cam trying not to puke. 😅

[@mayarme7951]

These 90 and 80 movies are legendary 😢

[@jacquelyndavis7296]

You are amazing young men! I'm so glad I came across your reaction channel. Thank you for taking the time to really talk about your feelings regarding this wonderful movie. I love this movie so much and always discover something new whenever I watch it. My favorite scene is when Barry Pepper's character couldn't hold back his tears during the execution scene, he's openly crying, and Tom has to tell him to wipe his face. Powerful.

It's funny you picked a 'J' name and I will now and forever be referring to the mouse as Mr. 'Jerry' Jingles

[@falcon215]

I've seen this amazing movie a few times as well as many reactions to it and I've never noticed nor seen anyone else notice that John Coffey's initials were the same as J.C.'s.. It would be just like Stephen King to slide an easter egg like that in there. Great catch.

[@dmanking11]

ok so my favorite part is that clearly knowing Zay has seen it and seeing him try to keep it together at the beginning when the classic movie starts playing is the literally mood when showing a friend this movie
