------------------------------------
I FINALLY watch Stephen King's THE GREEN MILE (1999) for the FIRST TIME! 🌟
Movie Summary:
Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) walked the mile with a variety of cons. He had never encountered someone like John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a massive black man convicted of brutally killing a pair of young sisters. Coffey had the size and strength to kill anyone, but not the demeanor. Beyond his simple, naive nature and a deathly fear of the dark, Coffey seemed to possess a prodigious, supernatural gift. Paul began to question whether Coffey was truly guilty of murdering the two girls.

[@Kayjee17]

It's definitely up there, and we almost all cried when we watched this movie for the first time, so you're not alone. I lost my dad to cancer, so the scene where John heals Melinda broke me too. But I truly understand how John felt when he said he was tired of folks being ugly to each other... the last decade or so has brought out so many people who are like that.

Michael Clark Dunkin died of a heart attack

[@bjm9071]

Everyone loved Michael Clarke Duncan. At his funeral, Frank Darabont, the director of The Green Mile, read a letter from Stephen King: "No one has ever done a character I wrote more justice."

[@83gemm]

That’s absolutely true and there have been some great performances through the years. But they actually couldn’t have made this film without him.

@@mamakat114what dimension are you from tf?

[@mamakat114]

@MaewCatt oops guess I typed that wrong. I meant to say what a stellar actor he was to play such a kind sweet gentle soul in this to playing a villian in the Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck & Jennifer Gardner. That make more sense to you??🤡

[@belindalopes6774]

I have always thought that Michael Clark Duncan deserved an Oscar for this role.

[@CanadaDan]

This movie and Michael CD definitely got robbed that year. There's no way American Beauty is a better movie than this, it is good, yeah but this movie is definitely top tier.

[@hankharrisonthemovies1354]

For me the Best Picture nominees were down to this or American Beauty but I wanted The Green Mile to take it home. I wasn’t even around in 99. Also Michael Caine shouldn’t have won Best Supporting Actor. I’m gonna be brutally honest, Haley Joel Osment was better than him and I loved Caine’s performance in The Cider House Rules.

[@jeffthompson9622]

I think that Michael Clarke Duncan was 6'5", big but not a giant, and only about an inch taller than David Morse(Brudal). They used tricks in this to exaggerate his size. If I remember correctly, he died in his early 50s of heart failure.

[@LisaMerworth-wc7ee]

I totally agree ❤👵🏻👍🏻

The little break in Tom Hanks voice when he says “Roll on two.” Breaks me every time. In fact the whole movie breaks me. Wonderful storytelling and brilliant acting from everyone involved.

There are three amazing non-horror films from Stephen King books... The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, and Stand By Me. --- All three are on my list of favorite movies.

There's actually another one! Delores Claiborne. Another non-horror Stephen King adaptation that starred the incomparable Kathy Bates, after her Oscar winning role as Annie Wilkes in Misery.

This was one of the best, most heartbreaking films I have ever watched!! All the actors and characters made this movie as amazing as it was and still is to this day!! RIP MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN!!

[@chrisandrews12]

You asked about Michael's height. He was 6'5. But through movie magic, they made him appear to be much taller. He had been a bodyguard and a bouncer before his acting career took off. A splendid actor and person.

[@corlenehaggerty9064]

Actually he was 6'7" but the rest is true.

[@michaelbradley7529]

They made Michael Clark Duncan's character much taller for the movie, they had him walk on a raised platform when walking next to the other characters. He had so much muscle mass that it actually looked normal to be that tall.

[@SPOCK_TALK]

During the filming of this movie. Instead of staying in his trailer while his fellow actors did their parts, Tom stayed on set and read his lines off camera for the actors to give them the full effect of the scene. The results are obvious.

[@sejbomb]

Wouldn’t last a day with Percy, I’d be on the green mile myself. Also yes, we all knew, but, we knew you needed to know too. Everyone should watch this movie at least once in their lifetime.

[@angelcharms7297]

Percy would catch hands day one!

[@clauslarsen1737]

Allthough almost everybody hated Percy, he played the role so good

[@StardustandMadness]

Michael Clarke Duncan was truly one of the greats, RIP. I think IRL he was only about an inch taller than David Morse (Brutal) and Tom Hanks. Clever filming to make him seem bigger than he really was, which was about 6’5” (so still very tall).

[@tazjammer]

Unless he was next to Larry Bird.

[@iKvetch558]

The one I heard that sounds the most fun is that everything in Coffey's cell was smaller to make him look bigger. LOL I just get a kick out of the the idea of a teeny bed. 😂

I just wanted to say to both you, Mr.Flicks, and your subscribers watching your reactions, that you did something in your reaction that I have never seen anyone else do...and it earned my total RESPECT! Somewhere between the 15 -20 mark of your reaction, you got upset at Percy's character AND then stopped to apologize to your viewers for swearing/almost swearing. I never heard anyone else on KZbin ever do that. It just showed that you are a true gentleman in an age where everyone cusses left, right, and center. That takes class, and while some people might think this is a 'little' thing, to me it's extremely honorable. As an 'older' person, I really think it's important to let people know when they do something kind/classy and you have done just that! I'm now subscribed to your channel just because you impressed me in those few seconds of your reaction! Proud of you. By the way, glad you enjoyed the reaction also. Sorry for the long comment but I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. Keep smiling👍🙂

[@mrflickswatches]

I appreciate this very much! It’s not a small thing, earning peoples respect is always a great thing ! Thank you

[@GaryLBlakeley]

This movie is an emotional roller coaster.

[@dionysiacosmos]

After more than 20 years experience with the movie and book it finally dawned on me that John is always obeyed. He's just so soft spoken and patient it's easy to miss. If he had wanted a different outcome he would have made it happen.

[@belvagurr403]

Paul Darabont was the director

[@frylock97]

The part that gets me every time is when John is walking the mile and he talks about the dream he had where he was with the little girls who were killed, and they were okay and he bounced them on his knees while they watched Mr jingles perform. Like they were all going to be okay and happy

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

He was comforting the guards instead of the other way around. When Paul says "May God have mercy on your soul", he was thinking "May God have mercy on MY soul." It gets me when John sings "I'm in Heaven" in the chair and when Paul's voice cracks when he says "Roll on 2". Paul was 44 the year John Coffey walked the Green Mile (1935) which means he was born in 1891. So, in '99 Paul was 108 and Mr Jingles was 64 or 65 years old. A pet mouse in captivity has an average life expectancy of about 4-5 years... makes you wonder how long Paul will live, eh?! Several hundred years probably. And his penance is to lose everyone he loves, to outlive them all. I love that Melinda gave him that medallion after John healed her. - St. Christopher is a patron saint... he offered protection to travelers and against sudden death, many churches placed images or statues of him, usually opposite the south door, so he could be easily seen. He is usually depicted as a giant, with a child on his shoulder and a sheperd's staff in one hand. Fits John Coffey.

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

So, a guy named Paul tells a story about a miracle man named J.C. - who is an empath, a seer & has a gift for healing and then dies for someone else's sin after blessing people with LIFE...

[@sensisensi]

Duncan was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after suffering a heart attack on July 13, 2012. By August 6, 2012, he had been moved from the intensive care unit but remained hospitalized. On September 3, 2012, Duncan died in the hospital of respiratory failure. He was 54 years old.

[@hankharrisonthemovies1354]

Fun Fact. Michael Jeter (Del) was Mister Noodle’s brother Mister Noodle from Elmo’s World from Sesame Street. Insane the variety he has in his filmography. And about Duncan’s height. In reality he was about the same height as David Morse (Brutal). In fact, James Cromwell (Hal) was taller than both. They had Duncan walking on boxes painted the same color as the floor and with certain camera angles they were able to create the effect.

[@anniegreenwind971]

That makes sense that the Del character looked like the Mr. Noodle guy from Sesame Street! I just couldn’t put my finger on it!

[@jameshunt9208]

Rip Michael Clarke Duncan. You brightened the world with your presence.

This movie is seriously just on another level, it’s one that just sticks with you forever.

[@bwilliams463]

It's a shame we didn't get much time with Michael Clarke Duncan; he was a tremendously-talented actor with a broad range. He also voiced the chief of the prison in 'Kung Fu Panda.' And yes, David Morse ('Brutal') is a very tall man, measuring around 6'7". He was actually taller than Michael Clarke Duncan (6'5"), but they used clever filming techniques to make John Coffee a giant. Morse is one of Steven King's favorite actors, along with Harry Dean Stanton ('Toot') and Barry Pepper ('Dean Stanton;' King named the two guards Harry and Dean Stanton for Mr Stanton, as well).

[@techheaven8132]

Just for clarity, David Morse is listed as 6'4" whereas James Cromwell who played Warden Hal Moores is listed as 6'7" and was the tallest of the cast.

[@bwilliams463]

@@techheaven8132 I should've checked that. I had read several comments describing Morse as 6'7"; that'll teach me to believe everything I read on the interwebs.

[@JFreese]

Fun Fact: they actually used movie magic to make Michael Clarke Duncan as tall as John Coffey was depicted in the novel. Him and David Morse who played Brutus were actually the same height!

[@jameshunt9208]

Yep

[@TheGelasiaBlythe]

And the man playing Hal is taller than both of them. You can see it in the bedroom scene when the hose shakes, where his head is VERY close to the (probably) 7 foot ceilings.

Daredevil was good also along with Planet of the Apes. I think all his movies are great. I especially love his cameos in different things. He was definitely a giant among men.

[@Dollywood623]

A lot of hints throughout the movie as to who JC really was…the way he took delight in the smell of the earth and spoke about the stars wasn’t because he was into gardening and astrology for sure…u gotta read the book is all I can say! RIP Michael🙏🏼❤

[@marleinasmom]

[@hpsladyamaunetbastet7621]

I've said this before a time or two but Del's last words were "I'm sorry for what I do". John's were "I'm sorry for what I am" and that hit me deep.

Stephen King really wrote so much emotion into this good and bad. The movie adaptation was brilliant and in my mind no one could be john but Michael Clark Duncan

[@cjpreach]

This film is FILLED with excellent acting performances. Even Dabs Greer was great in his old age.

[@johnsteward9137]

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan! I believe he had had a heart attack that he never fully recovered from and lead to other issues that caused his untimely passing. One great story I that I'll always remember was when he spoke about filming The Scorpion King with The Rock. The Rock made a mistake during a fight scene and accidently knocked MCD out cold, which they both laugh about it! LOL

[@malalaz66]

I am not a violent person, but let me tell you something Percy had me thinking about the things I wanted him to go through in this movie he got off easy in the end, but man, the sadistic personality, wanting to harm getting his kicks off of people, dying and watching them be tortured. He’s one of the worst villains I ever ran into in the movies, I think that if there was a poll discussing villains in a movie, he’d be in the top 10.

[@jrod1591]

When he says, “may god have mercy on your soul,” I think he was saying it to himself.

[@joycekirby8747]

I can relate to this movie as well. My mom had cancer that spread to her brain and her behaviors were identical to these in the movie. My favorite film of all time. I love Michael Clark Duncan in “Armageddon” it’s awesome. Won’t regret it

[@ozzman123]

The book is amazing as well, but the cast of the film really sells the story! ❤

[@carb5074]

Klaus Detterick was played by William Sadler . he was a highly prolific character actor who also had roles in The Shawshank Redemption, Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey and Die Hard 2

[@jenniferhonaker9445]

That show deserved much more than the one season it got

[@adiarainfoster]

Fantastic reaction to this masterpiece! Percy's connections could easily have his target and their family starving to death in that era. This is set during the Great Depression when many thousands of Americans couldn't find work(probably why he didn't mind older dry toast). Many were living on the streets because they couldn't afford a home. Others had a home but no heating or electricity. That's what he meant by "You'll be on the bread-lines before the week is out." he was threatening his job, which could put him in some serious trouble with no jobs available and standing in charity lines for a piece of bread so stave off starvation. VERY hard to find another job. Men lined up just to get a job for the day as laborers. That's also part of why John Coffey refused help. When asked if he wanted them to let him run away he responded with "why would you do such a foolish thing?" He knew what the outcome would be. They would be fired at the very least. At worst they would be jailed and their families would end up homeless and starving too. The larger part was, as he said, he wanted to go. The world was too much for his kind soul. The limit to his power is that he can't resurrect the dead. The mouse wasn't dead yet, so he could heal it. The lady with the tumor also was still alive so he could heal her. The girls were already dead, so he couldn't help them.

[@codyprice2616]

[@creativebuddhism]

Mannnn....one of the things that ALWAYS breaks me, among many other things in this movie, is when the guards are walking to go get John Coffey from his cell right before he walks the mile, is when John tells them as they are visibly shaken "It'll be alright fellas, this here's the hard part". He knows he's about to be electrocuted til his death and HE is the one comforting them. Then he continues on about his dream about Mr. Jingles and Mouseville.. ugghh such pure innocence.

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

The horn sound lol Ahhhoooooooga! I read somewhere that MCD was 6'5", but he was recorded at heights up to 6'8" and possibly wore platforms in some roles to appear even larger. He died of a heart attack. He really deserved an Oscar for his role in this. One of the most touching movies, ever. His character was so pure and full of love--a true empath who was tortured by the pain of others. There was one little thing that bothered me about the Warden's role and how he had to tell his wife she was dying. If I am not mistaken, the time the movie is based in, women weren't even entitled to hear directly from their doctors. Their husbands would be told first, then the husband would have to deliver the news. I know women alive today who still had to have their spouse sign for their bank accounts just so they could open one of their own. Anyway, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I can't imagine how personal this was for you. May she rest in peace.

A bit about the UTI, and why Paul did not want to visit the doctor: Penicillin and antibiotics had not yet been invented in 1935, the only cure for infections was a nasty drug called Sulfa, which in most cases would make the patient sick before it cured the infection. Paul was putting off a visit to the doctor because he “didn’t want to throw up in the corners” from the Sulfa. Also, not being as effective as penicillin, you would have to take Sulfa for a much longer time. Penicillin was really a miracle drug when it came along a few years later.

I’ve watched this movie a few times… I had my “boyfriend” watch it and he cried. And oh, the Fred Astaire movie they were watching, one of my favorites. Freddie is my Man and I have seen just about all his movies. I love musicals, especially the older ones.

[@angelaedwards8097]

This is my most heartfelt film of all time, it breaks my heart every time but also makes me feel unconditional love ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@angelamyrmel236]

@43:50 Mr. Flicks was smart to add the "other than this one"... I'm truly confident that this is everyone's 💯% favorite MCD movie.

[@rozequinn1519]

Duncan was 6'5...Hanks 6' They made Duncan appear larger. My second favorite Duncan movie is Armageddon... And that attorney...Gary Senise...who played lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump. And Duncan passed from a heart attack. RIP

You can watch Tom Hanks give a speech at Michael Clarke Duncan's funeral, it is very emotional.

[@DC21NY]

The moment i started bawling is "im tired, boss" and kept going til after the execution

[@VoicesfromtheSwamp]

If memory serves I believe Mr. Duncan died from congestive heart failure. I know he was in the hospital having just undergone heart surgery and was expected to make a complete recovery then took a turn for the worst. It was the saddest thing I ever read. I believe Tom Hanks delivered one of the eulogies for his funeral. It was Bruce Willis who called Hanks to tell him he had 'John Coffee' for him for this movie. Willis got to know Mr. Duncan when they worked together in the movie 'Pulp Fiction'.

flicks: oh he wasn't done! me, quietly: well done?? i'm sorry i'll go home.

This movie is so good that I have lost count of how many times I have seen it. Frank Darabont is the King of Stephen King adaptations. Stephen King is one of my favorite writers, and then you add a cast like this directed by Darabont, you know it will be a hit. They proved that with The Shawshank Redemption. Great Reaction

[@shallowgal462]

Same director and same author as The Shawshank Redemption. The director helped create The Walking Dead. The author also wrote the novels and stories behind the films Misery, Stand by Me, It, Christine, Carrie, Cujo, and The Shining, as well as the TV series Under the Dome.

[@avetrey]

This is indeed, without question, my all time favorite movie... I guess you can say it was fate that I grabbed it off the video store shelf that day, because I was looking for a movie and the cover and title made me think it was interesting, plus I liked Shawshank Redemption, so I gave it a try. Only one other movie made me shed tears (Mask- Rocky Dennis) but not to the extent that this one did. I cried in this movie as if I lost my entire family all at the same time. Never was the guy to think I would cry in front of my children, but the emotions pulled rank and it was Niagara Falls City for me. Great movie here and so many subliminal maxims within. Hooray to the entire cast and crew. John Coffey/ initials J. C./ Jesus Christ... One love

[@missydehart6920]

Some of my favorite actors ever in this movie.

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

“R Kelly’d that?” 😂 I imagine R took Green Mile as inspiration. Also, my favorite movie of Michael’s besides Green Mile is The Last Mimzy. It is such a great film, and Michael plays somewhat an important part in it. Highly advise you check it out.

[@williamrobinson4513]

I have seen MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN play in some memorable roles, but THE GREEN MILE IS AN UNFORGETTABLE ONE and THE MOST POWERFUL film of HIS CAREER, in my opinion. May he REST IN HEAVEN 😢.

[@gravitypronepart2201]

Im sorry to hear about your Mother and Grandmother. My good friend was told he had just weeks to live due to the tumors in his brain, but he suevived and is enjoying life with a new exuberance. We never can know why one is taken and another lives. All we can do is be greatful for the time we had with them, and the life that God gives us every day.

[@ugib8377]

Del is Cajun. That's why Percy called him french fried. Great reaction to an amazing movie. Seen this more times than I can count, it jerks the tears every time. And wheat toast dry. Always with an Egg over easy.

[@tomaskennedy]

30:08 Del's full name is Edouard Delacroix. He’s a Cajun from New Orleans, if memory serves me correctly.

[@Lynn705Hal]

Enjoyed your reaction.👍 The entire cast gave amazing performances.

[@flicksseries]

This one was hard yaw 😭

[@jaydzadavid]

Michael Clarke is 6’5 i think. he’s quite tall but so are the other actors. They did a bit of camera trickery to make John Coffey look taller than he already is

[@commonsencequeen]

Steven King moves are always horror, supernatural. This is the tamest of his books,

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

Everyone loves Paul Edgecomb and John Coffey, and they are awesome...but, tbh, my favorite GM character is Brutal - he's a gem! Everyone needs a best friend like him.

[@brianbanta6398]

I loved Michael Clark Duncan in Taledega nights. He was so funny. Nice contrast to this tearjerker.

[@tommiller4895]

There are only 2 movie that make me cry everytime. The Green Mile and Field of Dreams. Specail recogmition to Doug Hutchison (Percy), James Cromwell (the Warden) and Dabs Greer (the older Paul Edgecom). Percy may be the most hated character in movie history.

[@larindanomikos]

Yeah...it's horror, a bit. Stephen King wrote it. My husband died from brain tumors, brain cancer. May your mother rest in peace.

[@lorrainemace1983]

No matter how many time's I watch this movie I cry everytime I always say the lines along with the actors that's how much I love it

[@codybrown3326]

The Green Mile was my first Stephen King book. Truly a masterpiece and the movie really captured the magic of the book

[@Gen_X_Rosey]

Michael Clarke Duncan had a heart attack on July 13, 2012, and died of respiratory failure on September 3, 2012. He was engaged to Omarosa. His family said that she changed his will to benefit herself and sold his belongings. Dang. R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan.

[@brittanygidley1291]

6:50 the dude in the cell played in a disney movie called air bud.

[@alexwinchester495]

I think one of my favorite tidbits of information, that isn’t just flat out said out loud, is the fact that they were using the restraint room for storage. Meaning that they haven’t had to restrain someone there. They have respect for life and the death row inmates know that. Edit: Also sorry for the comments on old videos. New subscriber and just binge watchin’.
