SHOULDA BROUGHT TISSUES! The Green Mile Movie Reaction PT 2 - Michael Clarke Duncan, Tom Hanks

The Green Mile movie reaction part 2 is here! And I honestly don't know why we waited so long to watch this film. This incredible movie staring Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks is such a heartfelt story. Directed by the incredibly talented Frank Darabont the shift in tones in this film are done so seamlessly it's truly difficult not to put this film into one of our favorites. This film is also based on a Stephen King novel under the same title. We absolutely love Stephen King and after our Shawshank Redemption reaction it was only right to move on to the next beloved movie adaptation. The ending of this film wrecked us! We weren't prepared for this.

"People who are in positions of control, do it because they want the control" The lady gets it. And this is why we live in a criminal world with a bunch of sociopaths and psychopaths ruling over us whether they pretend to be right wing or left wing. After all who else would seek power but someone who desires power over others? That was a wonderful empathetic reaction, I hope you both have wonderful lives.

[@debrafujioka9792]

Great reaçtion 😊 Thank you

🎉 One of the Greatest of Films...it does not matter how many times I have seen it. I still cry ...like a baby. Sadly 😢 The Academy didn't give Michael Clark Duncan the Academy Award he deserved.

[@robinreiley1828]

Absolutely! He captured the Childlike Innocence that those Touched By God and given a Great Task must possess.

[@deliapiedrahita9985]

John not only punished Percy for being a despicable person, but he also saved the patients in the mental hospital from Percy

[@ayaretgonzalez27078]

I agree but it was mostly for Dell’s death because he never touched Percy until he passed him that tumor up till then he didn’t see his heart or Bill’s

[@musspuss]

A lot of people have guessed, and correctly as later Stephen King himself said, that the initials of John Coffey stand for Jesus Christ. Jesus was also crucified beside two criminals, one found Redemption the other didnt. The underlying symbolism is missed by many of the audience and even as a non believer, i find it extremely powerful.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yeah! Definitely strong parallels. The symbolism, the writing, the score and the acting. This film is superb in so many aspects. But man, definitely one of those speechless by the end kind of film for us.

[@plnkfloydian7814]

Ghey

[@msdarby515]

The St Christopher medal that Melinda gave to John is symbolic. St Christopher, whose original name is Reprobus, was a man of great size and strength who devoted himself to serve the strongest king in the Land. One way he helped was by helping travelers cross a dangerous river. One day a child asked to ride on Christopher's shoulders across the river, but the infant seemed to grow heavier and heavier with every step. When they arrived on the opposite shore, the child identified himself as Christ, telling Reprobus (St Christopher) that he had just carried the weight of the world. Saint Christopher became one of the most popular patron saints for travelers

[@christopherbarahona8983]

No

[@averymurray4722]

Another symbolism is Melinda Moores.Her inintals M M like Mary Magdeline,a woman Jesus Christ cured.

[@PopcornLoverr]

I was a bookstore manager when this book was released. King published it as a six-part serial, with each new chapter released monthly. By the fourth, fifth, and final books, we had lines form at our store hours before we opened. It was a phenomenon.

[@esclad]

It's a crime and a tragedy that this movie didn't win a single Oscar. The Oscar's should have a retrospective category and Michael Clarke Duncan should be given an Oscar retrospectively and posthumously.

Aww holy crap, this comment!! Thank you so so much for that - we feel the same way when we watch reaction videos. Sincerety just becomes transcendent, and it's something we value deeply so it's great to hear that we managed to meet those standards!

[@patticrichton1135]

@@OfficialMediaKnights I feel the SAME way that BEVERLY KITCHEN said to you above. I LOVED your reaction and that you weren't ashamed to show your emotions. I have seen it many times as well and I STILL cry EVERY TIME! Sometimes I think I must be sort of an empath....because I cry a lot and since I was a child, I was always able to "put myself in someone else's shoes" and know what they are feeling, Not to the extent that John Coffey could, like feeling Del's pain when he was being executed, but with tragedies which happen to other people, even people I don't know, that I see on the news, or read about, especially now. There are SO many awful things going on in our world today....the destruction in Ukraine and the suffering their people are going through, horrible weather and earthquakes destroying peoples homes and lives. ALL the mass shootings (and yet ANOTHER one just yesterday at a school killing 3 nine year olds, 2 teachers and a custodian), etc. I cry at all these things that I see happening, not to just people, but even to animals, so it is really hard on me sometimes. First time I saw the "GREEN MILE" and when John Coffey says before his execution how he is tired, and tired of all the ugliness people have to each other, STRUCK me and I could RELATE to how he felt, because it is how I FEEL much of the time, these days ( I just turned 76, so I have a lot of years to compare with. You were so right when you said Michael Clarke Duncan did such a fantastic job with his character. I can't imagine ANY OTHER ACTOR but him playing John Coffey. It was such a SHAME that he DID NOT get the OSCAR for his role that year at the ACADEMY AWARDS. Just so you know Michael Clark Duncan in reality is only one inch taller than "Brutal" (David Morse) who is 6' 4" tall, Mr. Duncan was 6'5" tall. They built a raised platform for him to walk on, so that he appeared so much taller than the other characters when near him. They also put a shorter bed in Coffey's cell to make Mr. Duncan look even larger than he was. I was devastated when he passed away in real life. He was an incredible actor, especially in this role. I also heard that in real life he was a very nice and sweet man. Such a shame RIP MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN.

Went into this film with zero expectations, came out of movie as the greatest ive ever seen, its so profound and beautiful at the same time.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Felt the same way! You know growing up hearing how good this film is and that I should’ve watched it still didn’t prepare me for such an incredible film. This movie truly moved us and now it’s one of my top films I recommend. All thanks to you guys for recommending this ❤️

[@mst1740]

This is a masterpiece and it is to the eternal Academy's shame that MCD did not win the Oscar for his portrayal of John Coffey.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Agreed!!! He was robbed of that Oscar, this performance was truly breathtaking!

[@scover3]

@@OfficialMediaKnights no he wasn't. I hate when people saying this. Back then Oscar was really challenging, nothing compared to nowadays when we have 1 maybe 2 really good films per year. It was competition between him, Michael Caine (The Cinder House Rules), Tom Cruise (Magnolia), Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley), Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense). All those actors are incredibly talented and films are remarkable. I know everyone have preferences and personally i would gave Oscar to Haley Osment. But saying Michael Duncan was robbed, it's like saying that Michael Caine don't deserve it and that is very disrespectful.

[@richtifilmpalast5373]

Sadly, Michael Clarke Duncan died in 2012. There's a great clip on youtube from his memorial service where Tom Hanks shares a heart felt moment with the mourning crowd and Michael's family. It's so nice to see how much Tom liked Michael and that they shared a beautiful sense of humor.

[@ramon.rnt1992]

As much as i hate Percy, he is a great parallel in the movie to John Coffee, even more supported by the beginning of this reaction. The monster is free while the angel is in chains, except for this one night where the positions were switched. Masterful movie!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Wow! Thanks for pointing that out. That’s incredible writing.

[@williambryan3346]

I love how Frank Darabont kept Paul’s age accurate to the year that this movie came out. He was 44 in 1935, and 64 years later, in 1999, he was 108. I just love even the smallest attention to detail.

[@jeffking887]

Good job you two. Michael Clarke Duncan was so perfect for this role. We lost a lot when he passed.

Thank you so much for your support, it means so much to us! MCD was truly incredible - the world lost such a huge talent and special soul.

He makes you want to just give him a big hug...I feel this portrayal is not far from his actual personality before he unexpectedly passed 😢

You're not alone.

[@o.b.7217]

The average life expectancy of a mouse is 2 years. Though there are cases known of mice that have gotten 4 years old. I f we take the middle ground (= 3) and divide the 64 years since J.C.'s execution with these 3 years, we get at least 21.3 times the life expectancy of a normal mouse for Mr Jingles. If we now take the average life expectancy of a human man (~75 years) and time that with 21.3...we get 1600 years. I think Paul will have to walk his personal Green Mile for quite some time, until he reaches its end.

[@shadowbanned1022]

🤯

[@msdarby515]

I could discuss the themes and parallels in this movie for hours. We could discuss how the nursing home is parallel to the prison. Or how Mr Jingles was possibly an angel sent to comfort a criminal who was truly repentant. We could discuss how Del's death, as horrifying as it was, was justice in response to his crime, which was setting a fire that caused 6 innocent people to be burned to death. See, I'm just getting started. 😁

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Hahaha whoaaa, that's so true!!! If you wanna keep going, do so, because we love discussing themes further so let it loose!!

As a grown man, I cry every time I watch this movie. So it makes me happy to see another man cry to it. One of my top 5 films. So good.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely! There's absolutely nothing wrong with a man crying and expressing his feelings and this movie is just too beautiful and heartbreaking to not let yourself feel your feelings!

[@IAMCAVE]

They had used several different trained mice to portray Mr. Jingles. Each with a specialty. Rolling the bobbin, walking along Del’s arms, crawling under the door, playing a much older Jingles, etc.

[@DhNeedles]

The book is also incredible, gives alot more detail in the crimes to which the inmates committed, it's amazing how King can make you feel sorry for them after the crimes they committed! Del particularly!

One of the scenes that makes me start crying is after Melinda gets healed and Paul says there was no tumor. Hals crying is when i start tearing up. The one line that kills me everytime is when Brutal tells John feel how we feel than, we dont hate you as well as John not wanting the face cover on.

God, I cried my eyes out. One of the best coming of age stories, brutal and honest. And the kids are amazing. Also a nice moment for us, who grew up with IT the miniseries, when you see some of the same kids in this one ❤❤😭😭

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Whaaaat, no way?! I actually love the original IT, though it was not received well critically, it had such a fond place in my heart. So hearing that some of the actors are in that too is a huge joy to hear! Cannot wait to watch it!

[@crazyratlady3026]

@@OfficialMediaKnights I was 9 when I saw IT. I had snuck into my sisters room (She was 15 and had a tv) in the middle of the night to watch he first episode. I knew it something I wasn't suposed to do, and I REALLY wish I hadn't, cuz when the blood came out of the book, my brain absolutely melted!! I had nightmare for weeks, and had to wait a full week for episode 2 😭😭😂😂 I can still get chills and discomfort from certain scenes, and Tim Curry as Pennywise is just the GOAT 😍

YEEESSS! Tim Curry was AMAZING as Pennywise and really nailed the unhinged humorous yet murderous attitude!

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

18:00 -- MCD's Oscar-worthy performance was helped in this scene, because the performance that Tom Hanks gave to the camera, he also gave to his fellow actor. Without even being visible to the camera, Tom acted the hell out of that scene, twice.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

This!! We have some background in acting as well and one thing we can tell you, unequivocally, is that in acting you cannot be selfish. It doesn't end when the camera is on the other actors - and this just shows the immense talent and generosity of Tom Hanks! It's all a collaboration!

[@aaronmurphy9353]

Michael Clark Duncan (arguably one of my all time favorite actors, R.I.P.) had to stand on boxes and crates to give the feeling of Massive that he portrays in the movie. They did a LOT to shrink down the actual scale of the cell so when you see just him it's the smaller scale cell. When other actors are there he's on a higher level to portray the Massive size of John Coffy. When Percy was walking him in he was walking on a raised path so it looks like he's HUGE. Michael Clark Duncan was shorter than most of the actors. They call it Forced Perspective in case you hadn't heard of it. Nowadays they use bad CGI to make people look bigger. (She-Hulk, we are looking at you.) This was before the advent of CGI. You want someone to look HUGE compared to the other characters, you do the most with what you got. Absolutely wonderful movie. I cried with you two. Not ashamed to admit it. This movie and Shawshank Redemption are two of my favorite Non-Sci-Fi movies.

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

Great reaction to a great film guys. I have to give props to actors Doug Hutchison (Percy) and Sam Rockwell (Wild Bill) because, like you, I hated their guts when I first watched this film. Nothing beats a good villain. RIP MCD and congrats on reaching 10K!

I have to say, one thing i do love about Stephen King works is the way he portray psychics in his works. the subtleness and power of their gifts gets me every-time. As powerful as Jean Gray and Charles Xavier is, I still say they couldn't contend with the likes of John Coffrey, Carrie, Danny Torrance, in many ways. huhu

[@SolSister10596]

I absolutely agree with what everyone else is saying, but I wanna take a moment to shout out Sam Rockwell, too. Love him as an actor. He portrayed such a disgustingly evil and crazy man perfectly, which I already respected when I saw this film. But when I later saw him in full goofy mode in Mr. Right (co-starring with Anna Kendrick), he officially made my top 10 list of favorite actors.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The warden's wife didn't have any evil in her, necessarily, but when John sucked out the "bad" it manifests itself as those little bugs that disappear in the air. She was saying all those bad things because the tumor was putting pressure on certain parts of the brain. Real brain tumors can do that: Cause personality changes, outlandish behavior, etc.

Such a beautiful reaction and commentary to part 2 from you both, guys. There is a great meditation on death, punishment and spirituality all wrapped up together in this film. As someone who is not religious, I found you don't need to be of any particular faith to access the themes and discussions this great film touched upon. Both Stephen King and Frank Darabont were able to talk about some things here that are often very hard to put into words. A true cinematic journey.

It’s Jan 6 right now and I’m not really sure I’m going to get through it. I love her so much. I kept thinking that I wished I had John Coffee here . My favorite part of this film, I think, is when John Coffee tells Boss Edgecomb that he’s doing a kindness. That he’s tired and “lonely as a sparrow in the rain”. I absolutely understand that feeling right now. (In the Novellas Mr. King said “Robin in the rain” but I think sparrow works better.).

Idk if you do your own editing or not but its well done, you show enough of scenes, you comment but dont talk too much over dialogue... youre def one of my new reactor faves :) Two suggestions: for a series, pls do Sopranos-i promise you will get sucked into their world within a few eps, and itll also grown your channels bc we Sopranos fanatics always want to watch reactions to it-i think im watching 3 separate ones right now. For a movie-The Black Stallion. Its not really a kids movie even though kids can watch it-its really different & engrossing & beautiful & exciting & i think you'd like it! Plus no one else has reacted to it yet. Anyway youre doing a great job, keep it up!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much! That means the world to us since we both are in the editing room taking turns to get these done asap for you guys. Adding your recommendations to our list! Thank you for the suggestions and for showing some love ❤️

great reaction is always guys. Yes the tumor was a tumor, not an evil entity, it just happened to seat in the part of the brain that caused Melinda and Percy to be aggressive and violent. One thing I always wondered was that John healed Melinda in pretty much the same way he healed the mouse, and Mister Jingles live so long, I wonder if Melinda also lived so long as the mouse is living? I swear when they pulled back from John and Melinda you could see she looked at least 15 maybe even twenty years younger.

[@charlesedward5047]

Excellent question. I didn't really think about Melinda also living for a long time. But, did Mr. Jingles live so long because he was healed, or when John transferred power to the mouse during Del's execution? If it's the latter, then maybe Melinda lived a normal number of years. Think about Paul: he was healed by John, but when he took John's hand it was when the "power" to live a long time was given.

[@ayaretgonzalez27078]

Melinda lead a normal life Paul and mr jingles were different mr jingles was because he tried to take Dell’s pain during his execution but when it went wrong he just spilled his gift to mr jingles unintentionally but Paul was because he needed him to see

[@adambage]

I love watching you guys! Your responses are so authentic and you’re so honest in how you feel from an emotional perspective - it’s really refreshing and tells us what decent people you both are. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@-Knife-]

This movie is simply excellent story telling. Another great choice I'd recommend is The Last Samurai if you guys ever get interested.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Ooohhhh Great recommendation!!! Thank you, we'll be adding that to the list! Haven't seen that one!

[@-Knife-]

No pressure ;D but I have a feeling both of you will enjoy it.

[@robertsnare1411]

Great reaction, for an amazing film. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve now seen it, and every time the execution of John Coffey has me in tears, such an incredibly powerful movie.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much for your support, the movie truly was incredible! The ending truly destroyed us and will stick with us for a very long time...

[@markmurphy558]

This is what you get when combine a genius storyteller, a brilliant cast, and a director who understands the gold on the page. What a movie!

[@LordBaktor]

This movie is a perfect example that impotence is one of the most powerful feelings to make an audience cry. Seeing something unjust and having none of the characters be able to stop it from happening really destroys you.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

It wasn't impotence; it was just a bad UTI.

[@LordBaktor]

@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 Sorry, non-native English speaker here. I don't really understand what you are saying.

[@barryhickman6911]

Of all the different people that I have watched react to this movie, you two have, BY FAR, given the BEST reaction to this amazing movie I have seen! Congratulations and thank you!!!!!

[@charlesmcwilliam8727]

Amazing film thats deservedly won a host of awards

[@CardiacCat]

One of the best movies to ever come out of Hollywood. After all these years it still gets me.

[@NatashaSalgado]

I found it so interesting how this movie have so many actors that worked with Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump and other of his 90s movies.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Right?! So many frequent collaborations!

[@lisanelson6073]

I LOVE that you made this a 2 parter! It’s such a great movie and I love your genuine, emotional reaction! ❤️

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so so much for your support, it gives us genuine joy that you liked our reaction! This film is truly so so beautiful!

[@terryv2006]

This whole movie was so expertly written. Your reaction was pure and genuine.

[@noxfior]

The acting in this movie is truly phenomenal, as is the cinematography and storytelling. The first time i watched this movie, it was in my late teens. I empathized so much with John and the good guards that I felt stuck between pain and hollow for about a week. I'm not exagerating. I avoided watching this movie for YEARS, even while thinking it one of the best movies ever made under all aspects and kept recommending it to people. I never regretted watching it, but I was just so afraid of feeling that pain again. I'm glad I'm able to rewatch it now, many years later, through reactions. I cry every time, but I'm able to take the pain better because I'm able to fully understand the true nuances in Johns's point of view, about the suffering he must've felt while alive. Him dying was more of a gift, in a way, although it always hurts to see such a good person go.

[@mcubananthony088]

I've only just discovered you guys recently and I LOVE the way y'all enjoy movies. Keep up the great work!

[@monsterkhan3414]

Possibly the greatest movie ever made. Once seen, never forgotten. Great reaction! Another great movie to react to is "Rain Man" (1988). It has great characters, an emotional story, and is a great journey. Hope you check it out someday.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Oh my goodness, completely forgot about the Rain Man!!! We definitely will be adding that to our list, thank you so much for your recommendation!!

[@alansevern290]

Fantastic reaction you lovely pair, so refreshing to see the emotion come flooding through, this movie slays me every time I watch it in full, or even watching reactors, well done guys, love from the U.K. ❤

[@Lynn705Hal]

Awesome movie. Thanks for the watch.

[@wolfie35p]

Please boss, don't put that thing on my face, I's afraid of the dark, don't put me in the dark. That line everytime starts my tears all over again, they dry up, then you see Mr Jingles, and then they flow again. I'm just glad I watched this at home, alone rather than watching it in the movies, the tears would have flowed like a river in the movies.

[@evanfreudig3973]

Another great video. The Green Mile is an amazing movie, definitely in my top five of all time. Minor detail as I watched your videos, not for you guys, but just about the movie. Incidentally, I was amazed. You guys actually cried more than I did, and I always cry watching this. I truly love that you guys are almost half my age and that you absolute get the truly important things in our world. You are two wonderful people, and I know you are not alone. I have a lot of hope for the future, because of people just like you. Anyway my criticism comes from the very end of the movie----If God could get a mouse to live this long, how long am I going to live? I am a math, science, and history guy; so naturally I did the math. Average lifespan of a field mouse---1 year. Average lifespan of a male human-----74 years. A field mouse that lives for 64 years, that gives the medical subjects a life multiplier of x64. Paul will live for a total of 4736 years. Now for my criticism, almost entirely imaginary. A guy that is going to live another 4600 years will not age 40 years in a 64 year time frame. At best he will probably age one year, more likely six months. I know it is necessary for the premise of the movie, keeping us in the dark and full of surprise and wonderment, and it was still awesome. But maybe the movie could have gone like this----We see Tom Hanks as he appears in the prison job, but it is present day. Hanks has a different job, a different wife, and lets add a really nice young daughter. We could have him on a day off watching the Fred Astaire movie and start tearing up. Daughter asks what's wrong. Hanks says the movie reminds him of some old FAMILY history, not personal history. He can present the story as that of his father. He can still have the mouse living off property as a little secret, and maybe at the end of the movie he actually reveals that it was his history, not his father's. Quite a quandary. Can you imagine being someone that lives 4700 years. If there was someone on our planet on his last days that lived that long would have been born in 2700 BC. Back then farming had still been a thing for about 5000 years, horses were in constant usage since 4000 BC, and writing was in its infancy. If he was born in a major civilization it would have to be China, Troy, Egypt, or Sumeria. The Akkadians would not be around for another 100 years, Babylon in 800, Greece in 1100, Phoenicia in 1150, the beginning of Rome in about 1850 years, and Persia in 2150 years. Better yet, somebody that lives until 6600 AD. Great potential for a new movie idea there. No changes to Green Mile needed. The world has been on rapid change for the last 200 years, probably more. Scary to think of the changes that will occur in 4600 years. Hope most of them for the better. Definitely opens the door for another kind of Time Machine movie, hope if anybody does this, the product would not be nearly as dystopian. Cheers.

Destine to be an epic classic, timeless...tremendous cast, this movie...Shawshank...Stand By Me...all written by Stephen King

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yesss!! We're also going to react to Stand By Me for sure!!

[@alejandromalaisse9580]

i really love your reaction This is the sixth video I've watched of you, I love your authenticity and your empathy. good job .love from france ;)

[@christinemoore4478]

What great reactions ! You can tell you are both such good souls. Bless you

[@tylertucker9460]

That “Feel how we feel, we don’t hate ya.” The guards were so perfectly cast, all of them.

[@80HD8]

This is a tough movie to watch. Stephen King made the characters so likeable and never tells you what they did, except for wild bill, that you feel sad when they're executed. But they are on death row, so they didn't steal a car or write a bad check. They're in there for rape and/or murder. You guys did a great job of acknowledging that. Not everyone does. Great reaction. RIP Mr. Duncan.

[@LePetitJoufflu]

Thank you for making it 2 parts ^^ Great video!

[@carlosmiguel4756]

This gives meaning to what a MOVIE should be and make you feel. It's a masterpiece, period. Stephen King is a legend.

[@graciefolden2359]

😊 You two are beautiful, love your reactions. ❤ from 🇨🇦

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so so much, your support truly brightens our day! Much love back to Canada!!

[@edwinsemidey1992]

AWESOME Movie, Great Reaction Guys

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

One of a kind! Thank you so much for watching this with us!

[@marcharley6465]

A great reaction and analysis of a masterful piece of film making.

[@chuylopezflowers]

This movie shows the two sides of mankind more than other ones: Kindness, love, you make others pain and suffering your own (John Coffey) and evilness (Percy Whetmore) 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@1234atomicbomb]

Hey guys, I stumbled across your channel and this vid had me bawling because your reactions had me remembering seeing this film for the first time 20 years ago. You two sound like 2 people I'd like to share a pint discussing movies.

[@Nandrea7627]

This is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched and I couldn’t watch it a second time because it broke me! When Stephen King wrote this, he published it in 6 monthly instalments and kept us on the edge of our seats and in tears with every book!

[@BloodylocksBathory]

For a little bit of backstory, in the novel, the crimes of the death row inmates were described: Arlen Bitterbuck killed a man in a fight, and a fifth prisoner not adapted into the film killed his father for his money, but because he was a wealthy white man he went free and avoided a punishment he deserved more than Arlen. Edward Delacroix raped a woman and accidentally killed her, and when he panicked and tried to burn the body, the flames reached a building. But if someone had been looking out for Del, he probably would've never gone down that path in the first place. He seemed to be mentally slow, which is already difficult for a person nowadays, let alone back in that era, but instead he was cast aside. This is what makes the elderly Paul's career change to a boys' correctional home even more impactful: to help kids who might otherwise go down a dark path.
