One of the most beautiful movies ever made-both visually and with the story. Just a masterpiece.

[@dragonagegirl]

John actually wasn't meant to be portrayed as dumb or slow, but rather to have a childlike innocence. The movie and book was inspired by the real story of George Stinney, the youngest person to ever be put on the electric chair, only at 14 years old. He was so small, that they had to stack books for him to sit on, because his head couldn't reach the equipment. He was accused, jailed and executed all in the same year, and it was only after he died, that people realized that many of his rights had been violated, including a coerced confession (imagine a 14 year old boy being alone without his parents in a room with men hell bent on placing the blame on him), and he was fully exonerated 70 years after his passing. The trial itself only took 2 hours and the jury only deliberated for 10 minutes before condemning him. His own lawyer barely defended him, only calling a few witnesses and didn't even try for an appeal.

[@tgchism]

That's a very sad part of history that needs to be remembered!

[@SebasTian58323]

​@@Teereacts11 hard choice to make. Almost impossible because both options can be seen as good and bad. Kill him, and you're following his wishes and ending the suffering, but you're also depriving the world of an honest to God healer that can cure things like a brain tumor and nearly dead mice to full health. Spare him, and you're keeping that healer around to help the world, but you're also ensuring he suffers constantly while he's alive. 😅

@@Teereacts11 Oh, me neither, and my first reaction to the movie was the same as yours, I was yelling at the screen, "No, no, take him out of there, hide him, SAVE HIM! You can't kill him!!" I get it years later that the poor man was tired of his sad life and the fact that he was so naïve and that he couldn't stop saving people and taking on their pain, but imagine how hard that would be to live like that? And all of the anger and hate towards him, the bigotry and misunderstanding he'd have lived with. And they'd have had to go on the run, hiding him. And he's pretty big to hide. But yes, I was angry and sobbing. And when he said, "Please don't put that thing over my head, I's afraid of the dark." I was full on sobbing, tears streaming and ANGRY! I still sob, every time. I cried over the French man, I can't remember his name, with the little mouse, when it was his turn too. He was reformed from whatever he'd one. It was so unfair. If anyone deserved to be in that jail and chair it was Percy and the girls' real killer played by Sam Rockwell.

[@TheTriumphbsa]

is 6'5 and normally 270; but the director HD him bulk up to 340-ish for the role. Good editing, camera angles and trenches for actors and a box to stand on give the Coffey character the appearance of being well over 7' tall. And no; he's not on the Juice. He's a lifter and is huge, or was. He passed since this movie. John also wants to die, as he explained. Nobody to confess anyway since Wild Bill is dead. John has reached his limit, just oo much pain, and he very well could have been alive and wandering for hundreds of years as the book apparently hints at from other commentators. All of the guards are crying when they throw the switch; they know its wrong but Coffey wanted it.

[@taylorrussell3158]

Loved him in Armageddon

[@GaryLBlakeley]

Great reaction. I think Percy is one of the most vile and hated characters ever created. Yes John was innocent, but in the 1930's there was no DNA testing to prove his innocence. John does say he is tired. This is one of my favorite movies, and when they carry out the death sentence for John, it gets me every time.

[@rollotomassi6232]

Percy and "Commodus" from the movie Gladiator most hated characters ever in my book. The warden in Shawshank gets honorable mention.

[@aroseofbeauty]

John was absorbing Dail's pain during his execution. That is why he was shaking and the mouse ran away. It was also why he was so tired afterwards . Also, he is not stupid, dumb or slow. They have him acting that way to make him appear innocent, pure.... childlike.

[@sundaedabber]

He's 100% slow.

[@stanzaloan3454]

​@@sundaedabberWhat made you come to that conclusion?

[@Movierebel3]

John asked them to do it. That's what their conversation was all about in the cell. He was so damn old that he had outlived everyone he ever knew or loved. And he was in terrible anguish. Paul would've done anything John asked and offered to release him, but John said, "Why would you do such a foolish thing?" For John, his death was a mercy. He was too pure and good to live in a world as terrible as ours. The fact he couldn't save the little girls was the final straw for him. He just couldn't deal with it anymore.

[@paulagwhyte1720]

Stephen King wrote it and it's so close to the book. I cried so hard when I read it twice and then watched it three times and again now. I guess they couldn't have found a good way to keep from executing him. How would they convince everyone? And every time John cured someone, it took a piece of him. There were too many racists who would never have believed he didn't do it even if they saw the person who DID kill them while he was committing the damned crime! He was saying, "It was too late, I tried to take it back, but it was too late." He meant he was trying to take their hurt and pain, but it was too late, he couldn't fix the little girls. The man who played John, Michael Clarke Duncan, died. That is so sad to know.

[@toukie]

This movie has one of scenes that kills me. "Please boss, don't put me in the dark. I'm afraid of the dark". It destroys me every time

[@artbagley1406]

No antibiotics readily available to the general public in 1935. Paul had a urinary infection before; his doc gave him sulpher tablets, which only made his piss smell horrible and did nothing for the actual infection. I so very happy you stayed with this reaction, Trey! Despite your reluctance to sit through a 3-hour movie, I think you started to believe it would be worth the trip. As a reaction viewer, I must say you did an excellent job in spite of your trepidation of such a long film and the occasional mind-bending events portrayed. Great job! To me, the most poignant line in "TGM" is John's "I'm sorry for what I am." Remember what Del said: "I'm sorry for what I do." BIG difference between "am" and "do." As a mental exercise, Trey, how would you have appealed John's death sentence once you knew of his powers? Who would believe it? Remember, this is 1935 Jim Crow Louisiana.

Indeed, Louisiana was Democrat run, and just like today they passed all kinds of racist laws while trying to accuse everyone else.

[@OCRay1]

I definitely cried on this one first time I saw it many years ago. John wanted to die though, he was broken from all the suffering in the world.

[@KaelRavenheart]

They let John die because 1: There was no way to save him. They had no proof and no one would have believed it anyway. Even if they'd seen the miracles firsthand, they wouldn't have known that he was innocent for sure. 2: John WANTED to go. He could feel the pain and anguish of everyone he ever met and had likely lived with it for many many years. He was tired of the constant torture of his gift. So in the end, Paul took his hand one last time to make sure it was what John wanted. He heard John confirm it. So he gave the order.

[@seanbraybrooks4819]

If they let John live, someone else would have done his execution. Their words, with no evidence, wouldn't have been enough. Then, someone else, not people that care about him, would've been his executioner. They would've hated him,not knowing the truth, and John would've felt that at his execution. John wanted this and having people who loved him and knew his innocence around him at the end was the best they could've given him, seeing as how he didn't want to be let go.

[@raymeedc]

[@tomemig7465]

I think he's meant to be an angel. The prosecutor said it was like he just fell from the sky. He has no past. he said himself he didn't know much of anything. He is innocent like a child but feels everything around him. He has power to heal, and he speaks of God and heaven as if he'd been there. He's not afraid of death. In fact, he knows he'll be in a better place soon. And even though he is going to die, he spends his last day consoling the men who will kill him. He's not afraid of death, only the dark.

[@Hexcaliblur83]

This movie takes place primarily in the 1930s, antibiotics like penicillin weren't widely available until the 1940s. So Paul would probably just have been admitted to a hospital for a while while they let out run its course.

"Get some antibiotics". Well, although penicilline was discovered in 1928, antibiotics was not really an available thing to have around in the 1930s. It was only around 1940 that they were widespread -saving many lives in WW2. But in deep America's 1935, Hank's character was quite FU, medically speaking.

There were no slaves in 1935. Those were the prisoners. That's why the black and white striped clothes.

It would certainly make more of a point than letting them work out in the gym and watch TV all day.

[@brandyroman8018]

I always felt he was to appear innocent and empathic. Also I think the mouse was interesting because they are bored as duck.

[@chlupl]

There was really no choice. They could have let him run away, but he would have never been able to hide out, and they would have them been felons also. There would have been no way to prove his innocence. It was a no win innocence, so leaving the choice to John was really the best thing in the circumstance. I think if he would have wanted to run, He probably would have let him. Just a bit deeper.. JC are his initials.. ie: the same as Jesus Christ. Prophets and the true miracles of God are often not that compatible with worldly realities. Jesus, the perfect being, was crucified as a criminal, as was John.. they both were here to bring healing to the world. Stephen King had a few stories that included religious themes.

He’s afraid of the dark because that’s what he experiences when he heals someone or feels their pain. The hint is when he heals Melinda. She says she dreamt they were both “wandering in the dark, and they found each other.”

If Paul and the other guards had refused to carry out the execution, another group of guards would have been found to take their place.

Now, as early as the 1930, there was nothing to do and being a prison guard on death row a person gets excited about the smallest things cause what else can they do while waiting for someone to fuck up. Tom Banks is my favorite in the movie. And some black people back than didn't know how to read or write

1. Most people 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. 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 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. Goof: 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.👌 10. A little fun fact: Toot Toot the trustee is played by Harry Dean Stanton.(RIP) The other guards' names are Harry Terwilliger/Jeffery DeMunn and Dean Stanton/Barry Pepper. 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan (RIP). They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography to make John 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 "day old 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. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!

Thanks for all these facts bro ! Appreciate you sharing them with me!

Biggest travesty ever that he didn’t get the Oscar! RIP to a BEAUTIFUL man. 😢

[@ronaldalagia9211]

they didn't let him die. they had no alternatives.he had been convicted but still paul offered to let him go, but john want to end it.

[@tightropewalkergirl6485]

There’s some suggestion that Johns gift might be ‘The Shine’ that is seen in other Stephen King characters such as Danny in The Shining

[@traceystutt3193]

John wanted to die, he was tired of the ugly world he lived in and he wanted to be in Heaven at peace so that’s why they had to go through with it as he wanted 😢😢

I think this is the first video of yours I've seen and I want to say that I think you handled yourself very well in comments especially given that some of them weren't supportive. I am a huge supporter of KZbin reactors and love to see people like you succeed in this arena. You remind me a lot of my sons so if I may offer you a small piece of advice from a maternal angle because I want you to be successful. You addressed this very well in your comments already and may have already adjusted in your other videos but the language that we use amongst us and from a place of peace and love, doesn't really go over well for reactors. It really can get in your way of taking this channel to places you can't even imagine. While myself and my household can easily watch a video like this and feel like we are watching a video with a family member or friend, other people who might be looking to subscribe...can't. And sometimes its just too hard to explain that although two words may sound similar, they aren't they same, just just seem the same when you're an outsider looking in. And hell, sometimes it ain't meant for them to understand. I hope that you are able to be hugely successful with your channel while being as authentically you as possible. Figuring out how to do that is the key to KZbin success. Good luck young man. 😉❤

[@Hey_Jamie]

John _wanted_ to die. Did you miss that whole part? He was tired. They wanted to let him go. But he didn’t want them to. And this movie is lightyears better than The 6th Sense. You’re crazy lol. And Hereditary is by far the best horror there is IMO

[@Teereacts11]

No I Saw that part. I still would want to save him after everything hes done though. I couldn't be responsible for his death. And yes Hereditary was pretty good!! My part 2 for that got deleted from my hard drive :( so I just deleted the part 1. Any other Horror suggestions though?

[@JessBecause77]

There's a book called Slavery by Another Name and it will give insight to why there's not convict labor at most prisons anymore. There's still states that have constitutions that include wording for involuntarily servitude presently, even though most states don't do it. But there are corporations that have contracts with prisons and the prisoners work for almost nothing. The prisons themselves get the contracts for the jobs and most of the pay. Which isn't so bad if the prisons are humanely operated. PBS created a documentary from the book that is good but the book goes into more details. The documentary is available on KZbin. I got the book from Amazon but it's probably available most sites.

[@Parallax-3D]

It’s not slavery. They’re being punished for crimes.

[@micheletrainor1601]

The book was inspired by the true story of George Tilley Jnr who was wrongly convicted of the rape and murder of two little white girls back in 1930's. It's a truly tragic case as this v small,skinny simple minded black boy in the south who was actually working on the family farm at the time of the murders but due to corruption within the police department they just wanted someone to pay and they chose him beating him till he signed a confession. It took a all white jury 6 hours to find him guilty. They isolated him from his family the whole time he was in prison so no doubt the poor child died believing that they didn't love him anymore however that could not be further from the truth because even generations later kept fighting for his name and finally because of the innocence project he was exonerated in the 2000's. ( the book was written before that was proved) Stephen King said they made that little boy into this monstrous man. He did say that Michael Clarke Duncan was like the living inbodiment of John Coffey as tho v big and scary looking he was a truly gentle ,kind soul. Michael Clarke Duncan actually used the pain of his father leaving when he was a child to bring out the tears and crying. May M.C. Duncan rest in peace truly gone way too soon as his career had really only just begun.
