When Dell says, "I sure wish I could have met you two somewheres else", it just tears me up every time. Really a great movie (and follows the book(s) really closely. One of the truest and best adaptations I've ever seen). Michael Clarke Duncan really knocked it out of the park in this. RIP, Michael.

@Joao Santos It is still a very close approximation of the book(s), especially compared to many other book-to-movie translations.

Another thing missing from the movie is the fact that Paul was on a Greyhound bus that crashed and he was the only survivor. (I think that’s how his wife died, but it’s been a long time and I can’t remember for sure). And that was his first hint that he’d been given a kind of invulnerability by John Coffey. I think he also says that since John Coffey he hadn’t ever been sick.

In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row. 5. This movie was nominated for best supporting actor and best cast but sadly didn't win. 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. 7. Goof: Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. 8. IRL James Cromwell is a vegetarian 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. 10 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. 11. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!

I am not justifying why the first two executions took place in the movie but according to the backstory here is why the men were executed in this movie. Arlen Bitterbuck was executed for killing a man in a bar fight over a pair of boots. Eduard Delacroix was executed for raping and killing a young girl, then trying to cover up his crime by burning her body. The fire was near an apartment building that caught on fire and killed six more people, including two children.

10:28 "He should get that checked out." I think that's a key reason this part of the story was set in 1935. See, the ideal treatment for UTI is antibiotics which, nowadays, are available all over the place. You can get 'em in every hospital, clinic and pharmacy. Not so in the 1930's. Paul didn't know about 'em. It's a good bet his _doctor_ didn't know about 'em. The treatments they had were about as bad as the UTI. Hence, Paul hesitates.

It is also based upon a Stephen King novel as "The Green Mile" is. For a happier reprieve... I'd love to watch "The Princes Bride" with you if you haven't already seen it. Such a Fun movie. It will crack you up. Your raw reactions are what makes these kind of channels successful. That is what I enjoy about your reactions. They are heart felt, honest, and raw. Thank you for your channel.

I gave her these small books 2 weeks apart, the last 3 books she read in a day. I gave all of them to her saying she just read her first novel... and its by Stephen King... she submitted a 6-page book report that super surprised her class/teacher as it dealt w/ very serious and adult situations.

24:16 "I'm tired, boss. Tired of being 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. Can you understand?" I understand, John :(

Great reactions, Jen! This is such a touching, heartbreaking movie, there is no shame in shedding tears watching it. Tremendous cast who did tremendous work. Beginning with Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan and all the way through. Even Sam Rockwell (Wild Bill) and Doug Hutchison (Percy) who made everyone hate them. But one person everyone, every reactor, leaves out is Dabbs Greer (old Paul). His bookending of the story was just masterful. His final monologue moves me every time. The thing that I'm most taken with is for each execution Paul is the one comforting the prisoner before the execution. But for Coffey's execution, it's John who is trying to comfort the guards. And during the actual execution, the camera only shows John at the very first surge of electricity. The rest of it is seeing the guards' reactions from Dean to Brutal to Harry to Paul. Showing how the execution is affecting THEM. I've always thought of John Coffey as a variation of a sin-eater. a traditional type of spiritual healer who uses a ritual to cleanse the dying of their sins. The sin-eater absorbs the sins of the people he or she serves and typically works for a fee. Although John takes upon himself the sickness of others, and of course, doesn't work for a fee. Some people have also mentioned him to be an angel. Especially when his defense lawyer says, "It's like he dropped out of the sky".

If you hated Percy the character, don't read up on the actor that portrayed him. Probably an even worse person.

This is the first movie I got to watch you react to Jen. I can see you're a gentle, sweet soul. It affected you the way I think it affected me the first time I saw it. I used to think I was like a statue...emotionless. When I see movies like this, I can see I'm not that way at all. Thanks for letting me share the experience with you.

This movie constantly makes me cry, especially cuz there were never any justice for John. He tried to explain but people misunderstood. Tried to take back the 'loss of their life', but everyone just thought he wanted to take back the murdering.

If anyone can watch this flick show and not get emotional…. I hope I never meet them. This is one of those that will always make me shed a tear. No matter how many times I watch it. It was nice seeing your pupper showing you some affection when you were tearing up. They always seem to know. I did notice him worried about you in your John Wick video as well. You know the scene. You have a sweet boy there.

Wonderful reaction vid, it's a powerful movie - great performances. Thank you for sharing. 🐭 1:16 Adorable.♥ I used to watch the old b&w "horror" films (Frankenstein, Wolfman, etc.) at my gran's when I was around 8, I'd be trembling by the end. 😆 12:08 This style is called magic realism, with magical or supernatural phenomena presented in an otherwise real-world or mundane setting. Another example of a film with this is *Field of Dreams* (1989). Back in 2003, HBO had a truly excellent, big budget drama/supernatural horror series called *Carnivale* (2003 - 2005). It is steeped in magic realism and is very similar to The Green Mile (good vs. evil, healers vs destroyers), it's one of the best tv series ever made, sadly it got cancelled after 2 seasons due to huge budget costs and low viewing figures - but it's still worth seeing despite ending with unresolved story arcs. It's dark, frightening, emotional and totally gripping. Superb ensemble cast led by Nick Stahl and Clancy Brown. You just need to see the 1st episode to know if it's for you or not. 19:39 It is truly horrifying! *hug* 27:15 Aww, how loving. 🐶♥
