PART 2! The Green Mile (1999) First Time Watching REACTION!

[@ShreeNation]

My REVIEW of The Green Mile: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIWZpqSGfrGZnqM

[@jasonu3741]

From watching some of these reaction videos, what people dont get initially is that hes not taking disease from people what John is removing is the evil... the disease in this movie is considered evil

[@lazyperfectionist1]

16:31 "I am so surprised he's like, not doing anything. I would've started screaming." The warden trusts Paul Edgecomb and Paul Edgecomb is telling him to trust John Coffy, so he trusts John Coffy.

[@snowglass3969]

I always thought, perhaps, that part of it too was something of John's aura. Like when he's getting ready to do his 'work', he can sort of affect the people around him. Maybe in this case, he also made Hal more subdued than he would have been otherwise.

[@83gemm]

In the book they all sense something malevolent when they arrive. “Hear me. I’m not saying Melly Moores was possessed, but I have never entirely discounted the idea either.” They can’t think straight and Paul is full of horror at what they are doing, feeling like he’s thrown his whole career away for a crazy idea that John can help. Then when John approaches, they feel the power in him and they all sort of go along with it. It’s very much good vs. evil in that scene. Melly’s voice even sounds afraid of John’s approach when he comes into the room. The movie is a staggeringly good adaptation, but read the book to make it all fuller and richer.

[@ravenlunatic8]

Having read the book before the film came out. I'll never forget coming out of the theater speechless for two things I could not get out of my head: 1 - How can they make such a perfect presentation of a novel that was already too perfect? 2 - How can a book that made me cry have an adaptation that drove it home even further? If only every adaptation could even do half what this did with the source material.

[@msdarby515]

Right? I couldn't believe how well the adapted the book. Even nearly all the dialogue comes straight from the book. I've never seen another movie that honored the book so well.

[@BuhoPnu]

A common field mouse will live 12-18 months, 2 years in captivity. Mr. Jingles was 64 years old at the end of the movie.

[@TheYakusoku]

The implications are going to be horrifying to many fans. If Paul gets an extra 64 years himself, that could mean that he lives to be like 140, decades past a normal life, and he's already wishing for death at the end of the movie. If John's gift was to make a being live dozens of times as long as they normally do, then Paul could find himself living for a few millenia.

[@bailey7792]

@@TheYakusoku But johns gift wasn't to make people live dozens of years longer than they were supposed to lol. Mr. Jangles was an accident. It happened when Del was being electrocuted, and John was still holding him. Paul wasn't an accident, but he had to give him a part of himself to show him what Wild Bill did. That is why Paul is 108, and Mr. Jangles is 64. John never made people live longer by dozens of years lol. It happened twice. To the mouse, and to Paul. One was an accident, the other was required for Paul to see the vision. Not sure how you missed that, they explained it pretty clearly.

IMO the scars are a hint that JC is very old. Hundreds of years old. Working as a laborer, for that long, the scars would add up. And that explains why he can't remember how he got the scars, because they happened so long ago. Paul and Mr.Jingles only got a taste of JC's power, and a field mouse only lives a couple years. If you assume Mr.Jingles dies at the end of TGM and you do the math, 30x lifespan extension, translated to Paul, means he could live to be 3,000 years old.

[@ShreeNation]

That makes sense. Thank you.

[@promiscuous675]

I always thought it was just that as a black man in the south at that time he had been a long time victim of white violence, and his execution is just the culmination of that violence.

[@Sentinel3D]

BTW, I meant to mention that John Coffey had no family there because he was hundreds or even thousands of years old. That's how he knows how it is all over the world. He's wandered that far, and doesn't retain much. He was likely also a slave in the US, which is where his scars come from.

[@brandonflorida1092]

Great reaction. You're a valuable addition to the pantheon of good reactors.

I think his scars are from when he was whipped as a slave. He's very old. And even if he weren't a slave, he's had time to acquire wounds.

[@lisamaitland157]

might have been his crucifix on the cross also, he was whipped on his journey to the cross and while on it. "JC = Jesus Christ " Carry's the scars of Sin, either way i guess. Your right about him being very old, Super Old. Now The Warden will Carry the punishment of Life. This is a fitting punishment, due to in the bible God punished people this way also. "to watch all love ones die around you, and feel the pain of Age and others sufferings is a good punishment. A lot of people think living forever would be awesome, i say a person will go insane at a certain point. {but good movie :)}

[@Sentinel3D]

@@lisamaitland157 I can understand all the Jesus analogies got him and for John carpenter in the Day The earth Stood Still, but Jesus' story was pretty complete. He came and went , and is not coming back until the end. But it is very telling that John has all those scars and never bothered to heal them. It speaks to his selflessness. When he shook Edgecomb's hand, he knew right away all of his pain, and likely would have healed him then if there wouldn't have been interference. When it came to the woman, you could see in his face that at first, he couldn't stop himself from going to the room, but when he got there, he was dreading something... or at least planning something. My wife read the books. She can't remember if it was touched on.

[@lisamaitland157]

@@Sentinel3D Mr. King himself said John Coffey was Jesus Christ. Most people guessed this one correctly, while a few said Angel. I quote King himself here " He represents the new Messiah, someone sent to us two thousand years after by Mighty God". King tells us he was placed into a newly created body. This is the reason for his illiteracy, and looking at things for the very first time. The body Suffers from the Sins of others. Coffey is afraid of the dark, because he has to travel there each time to heal others. By placing him in the dark, he will be alone. This is one of Kings greatest notes. This is also the account of the wardens wife. Her story claims she was in the dark. Coffey found her, then they were together no longer alone. The flies in the movie represent The passage in the bible. "Satan is the lord of flies" Coffey expels the Darkness, the sickness. King would go on, about the passage of Coffey healing the wardens wife. "This was taken from the bible, but reversed" In the bible Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac”, where Jesus exorcises the demons out of the body of a man. Mr. Jingles represents how small humans are in front of God. You would say how can that be? Mr. Jingles was sent to Bring out redemption, and Punishment. To which we got to see in the movie. Eduard Delacroix found his redemption, and suffered no more. While Percy Wetmore found his Judgement and punishment. None of this is my thoughts. These are the notes and a few interviews of the Author "king". I can personally tell you, i figured out he was Jesus off the bat. I knew from bible studies, about the Flies being used in the bible. the rest was new to me :) Either way it's a awesome book. The movie needed more time to allow more of the small stuff in it. Thanks for your time again :)

[@Sentinel3D]

@@lisamaitland157 King may want to call him Jesus, and I understand that it's not a shot at Jesus, but as lovable as Coffey was, he was just a man with power. Jesus was much more than John Coffey. He would be a very poor messiah.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

There's a lot of Christian symbolism in the story. In addition to John Coffey, Hanks's character was named Paul. Before his conversion, Saul (Paul) killed Christians by the authority of the State, just as Paul killed prisoners as an executioner. After he had his epiphany, Paul gave up his past and repented, just as Edgecome gave up his position on death row. Paul also spread the Gospel, just as Edgecome told the story of Coffey. Another interesting bit is Del's horrific execution, all his suffering. His last name was De LaCroix, which is French for "of the cross". There's also some contrast between Del and Coffey. At his execution, Del said "I'm sorry for what I do (did)", Coffey said "I'm sorry for what I am" (because he comitted no crime). Coffey spoke of his ability as "Taking it back". "I tried to take it back, but it was too late" "I just took it back is all". Speaking of his crime, Del said "I wish I could take it back, but I can't."

[@captbrownbeard1599]

Something to think about, if he made both the mouse and Paul live so long, how long had John been walking the earth? He did say that was the way it is all over the world, how does he know? Also, if you didn't notice the parallels between John Coffey and Jesus Christ watch it again, those parallels were done on purpose. Finally, I am a 46 year old man and I cry every damn time I watch this movie or a reaction to it, don't be afraid to let the tears flow.

"He killed them with their love for each other." 💔

[@jeffelliott7353]

Having some experience with loved ones in mental homes, I feel no conflict over Coffey's "use" of Percy. He may well have had some vision of the kind of sadistic thrills the little monster would have had at the expense of the patients. Such institutions were much worse then we than that are now, and they are no great comfort now.

"Of all the people who had to die, you picked the most innocent, the most curious, the most kind and the most powerful person on this planet." That is exactly how Christians feel about the execution of Jesus Christ.

[@BudhagRizzo]

It roughly parallels the Jesus Christ story. He heals the sick, punishes the wicked, and is persecuted. The guards are sort of his apostles, while Tom Hanks' character is sort of Pontius Pilate. In the end, he accepts his fate.

There is a third Darabont adaptation of King's work called The Mist. I would definitely recommend it. It's not the masterpiece Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile are, but it's certainly worth watching and I guarantee you will remember it for the rest of your life. Anyway, great reaction! I love your longform style, your commentary is great (you have a habit of picking up on things that others miss) and your emotional investment is chef's kiss. Keep it up!

[@ShreeNation]

Oh that's where I remember Darabont's name from! I absolutely loved the Mist, I was bawling my eyes out at the theater simply because the ending was so unfair for everyone involved. It was truly heartbreaking and one of my favorite films. And thank you so much, that really means a lot :')

[@st0n3p0ny]

@@ShreeNation Amazing to think, SK + Frank Darabont = Shawshank, The Green Mile, and The Mist. 3 of the best movies ever made, and really demonstrates their range. One of the happiest most uplifting endings ever with Shawshank. One of saddest endings with The Green Mile. And, The Mist is one of the most ruthless Shakespearian style tragedies ever. Right up there with Romeo And Juliet... Then SK developed George Lucas's ailment (whatever that is), and refused to let Darabont do The Dark Tower. It would have blown Lord Of The Rings out of the water. What a blunder. Allegedly Darabont might be doing a prequel, so, there's a chance that TDT might be salvaged.

Scary thought: a mouse can live up to 7 years with proper care and a good diet. I think Paul is going to live a lot longer than 50 more years. It would be interesting to see his old self appear in another Stephen King story. Kinda like Randal Flagg, Paul Edgecomb could be written as an important key to certain situation.

[@veggiesarefruits]

John Coffey (JC) showed both the love of God (healing, the ability to feel the pain of others, seeing visions, viewing the heart of Man, taking the suffering on behalf of others), and the Judgment of God (punishment and justice). It was ABSOLUTELY his call to make when he punished Percy and Wild Bill. He even willingly laid down his own life, like Jesus Christ. The difference in this story is that John Coffey did it because he wanted his own pain to go away, not to offer everlasting life to sinners, and he didn't resurrect to defeat death.

[@RickLacy-b3x]

If you look at the percentage of life increase Mr. Jingles has and apply the same percentage to Paul, he could conceivably live more than 1500 years, maybe 2000. Since neither are passed at the end of the story the upper end really could extend even past that.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

36:11 "One thing I don't understand. You said you and Jan had a _grown_ son in 1935." "The math doesn't work, does it?" See, even if we're _generous_ about the length of a generation, and set it at 30 years, having a grown _son_ in _1935_ should've lead to grown _grandchildren_ around _1965_ and grown _great-grandchildren_ around _1995,_ just a few years before this movie came _along._ So with this question, this woman is beginning to wonder, just how old _is_ Paul Edgecomb?

Finishing from Part I: 1. Goof: Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. 2. 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. 3. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. 4. The mouse they used for when John takes Mr. Jingles from Del is a real mouse that pooped on Paul's shoulder and that's what Hanks brushed off. 5. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are taller than (MCD). They used tricks like plankls, smaller bed, electric chair than they one they used before and camera angles.. 6 Now we know what the two pieces of dry toast (day old is fine) is for. 7 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. 8. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you for the additional information :)

[@thepeopleschamp1776]

I must also add that IRL the guy who portrayed Percy(Doug Hutchinson) was a POS. I'm pretty sure most people already know that he started "grooming"(her words) a 15 year old girl when he was 50, and he eventually married her at 16. He's also a POS because he would refer to Michael Jeter(Del) as a "fa**ot" on set. Jeter was openly gay and died of AIDS about 20 years ago. Hutchinson implied that he was blackballed by the industry because of his marriage to a minor. He claims that over the 10 years they were officially married he was only able to land two 1 episode acting gigs on tv shows. Oh yeah, I didn't read Part I, so you may have already mentioned this stuff.

[@SaguaroBlossom]

Also, from part 1, the movie takes place in 1935. Penicillin was only discovered in 1928. They weren't able to synthesize it until 1942, and it didn't become available to the public until the late 40's. Paul even mentions that the doctor would only give him a sulphur pill and he'd spend a week puking. That's the best they could offer in 1935. It was absolutely miserable, and it wasn't guaranteed to work. So people would definitely try to see if their bodies could fight it off alone before going to a doctor for treatment.

[@1ofLouisBoys]

I highly recommend reading the book, there are some things that are missing but I would not want to ruin your reading experience. Just know there is something about the electric chair that would have been too horrible to add to the film.

--You MISSED the Dry Sponge??? Yes, Percy was still there. A lot of people don't get this: transfers take _TIME._ Even with connections, he's not going to put in his application and be gone the next day. In the book, it is stated that the Warden even stepped in to help expedite the transfer, and they could expect to see Percy leave in a month. A MONTH-- *_and that's the FAST track._* Listening during Coffey's execution might possibly have actually been helpful. Unlike the others, which were just painful, the music aa well as the cinematography that time were... lyrical.

Del, If i remember right, was convicted of arson in the book that claimed the lives of several people. hence, death penalty. over insurance fraud oh, and the math says that he has at the very least, 1200 years of life remaining. this is based off of a base lifespan of 2-3 years in a mouse

[@patticrichton1135]

I am sorry, but you should have NOT edited out all of Dell's execution. At least show the last part when Percy is putting it out. Horror films have so much blood, guts and gore (slasher type movies) and it those don't seem to bother some people (I can't watch bloody movies) There might be some people here that have not seen the entire movie, and have no idea what is going on here. You could have at least described it. You are the only reactor I have seen for this movie who totally edited the whole thing out. As bad as it is, it's necessary to the story, to know that that is what happens if the sponge is not soaked in water. (You missed that part in the rehearsal in the first part when Percy was being taught about the reason for soaking the sponge. When the other guard told him ( you don't EVER want to NOT soak the sponge, never use a dry sponge) You were talking over that comment.

This movie like Shawshank does a great job of creating sympathy for the inmates by not revealing their crimes. Such as Del. The more I thought about it though l, I was disappointed they didn't include their crimes in this movie. I think it would have made our feeling about Del and Percy more complex and added more weight to the execution of Jon, whom we know to be innocent and fully deserving of our sympathy. Still a great movie though.

Just my opinion but often movie adaptations of Stephen King stories seem to be more the director's vision than the author's. Since I have not read this book I'm not judging this movie in any negative way, I'm not qualified to compare. This was awesome! Just sayin' not all movies based on his books are as good as his books. The written word forces you to use your imagination and picture things with your mind's interpretation, which can make it scarier (if it's a scary story) to you than whatever a director may have interpreted. Books have all the time in the world so they can give so much more detail. But you're not a book reactor you're a movie reactor - probably not your thing but if you ever wanna try "scary" you may wanna go for the original "Salem's Lot" or the classic "Carrie" That was a good "Green Mile" review, thank you that

You focus on a lot of things that is not that important to the basic principles of the movie, and skip over the more important parts that most of us find to be what the film is trying to convey. Your comprehension and paying attention is not so great.

[@staceychilds7004]

Watching your reaction it was obvious to me you have gone through some shit in your life and done an extreme amount of detaching in your life but maybe a reaction channel isn’t right for you because the detaching made you miss pretty much all the life lessons that was being told and shown to you and you come off as a sociopath and I don’t think you are going to get many subscribers until you deal with your stuff or tell your people not to request any emotional movies

[@Stampalex]

Worries me that you actually didn't shed a single tear -- Someone to stay away from. Can't get into people who don't have the right set of emotions.

New sub and fuk I think I love your reaction. I hope you don't mind but I am normally a stuck up asshole and you brought my down to the good level and enjoyed your feelings and I am one not to say I even have feelings...

[@christopherbarahona8983]

Good movie, but agony hearing this one make obnoxious comments!!

[@memnarch129]

Ive done the "theoretical" math. Mice live for only about 12 to 18 MONTHS on avarage. Mr Jingles at that point has been alive for nearly 60 YEARS, film is supposedly in the 90s. Meaning Mr Jingles life was expanded at a MINIMUM, assuming a 2 year life of a Mouse, by a factor of 30 TIMES. IF we figure that a human is even half that, 15 times, thats 15 times 80 years. Meaning Paul will not likely die for another 700 YEARS. He is truely a modern alegory for Longenus, the Roman Centurion who was tasked with confirming Jesus death on the cross by stabbing him with a Spear. God punished Longenus with "Everlasting Life" to carry the burden with him for enternity.

[@sc65gto12]

I appreciate the language but she should have just commented on the cinematic parts. Otherwise an emotionless zombie review.

[@thebucksterman1975]

not a single tear and although talking should happen, you don't stop and miss quiet a lot lol . Missed Percy not dipping the sponge on the water . I enjoyed the reaction overall as you are quite inciteful.

[@dennislittau6320]

I like your reactions, but you talked too damn much over this movie, and I have a hard time with you removing your headphones.. You missed that Percy didn't wet the sponge because you talked and then you missed Paul saying "the sponge is dry" when you took the headphones off..! Other than this, good reaction 🙂

[@doncarlin9081]

I like a woman who's comfortable swearing 😂 The execution scene, while dramatic, wouldn't of had Del screaming, as electrocution causes muscles to contract. Still a powerful, horrible scene. In the end it didn't matter if Coffey was innocent, in the 1930s South USA, there was no way a black man was ever going to be exonerated even if massive evidence came up proving his innocence. I was hoping Percy the pr*ck was not going to be killed, and I thought his fate as a drooling vegetable locked for life in an insane asylum was perfect karma (I know we in the west misuse that word lol). As always, you're my favorite reactor and I enjoy your particular style. I'm looking forward to your next reaction. 😊😊

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you Don for your supportive words :) Yes that's true, people can't scream while being electrocuted. I guess we can overlook that one goof 😅 And no Karma is definitely an English word on its own, and he got it ;)

[@doncarlin9081]

@@ShreeNation It's always been my understanding the word karma came from an Indian language and we in the west always use it incorrectly. But yeah he sure got it and deserved it.😁

[@thepeopleschamp1776]

I don't think it matters if the parents find out. It actually makes more sense to let them believe that John did it. This way, his death means closure for them. Could you imagine how they'd feel if John was released and they find out that the man who did it is already dead? They wouldn't be able to make sense of it, they'd think it was some sort of conspiracy.

I can’t remember the man’s name, but Percy reminds me of a former President who was banned from Twitter.

This movie is still undefeated, I have yet to see a reactor who didn't cry. Sidenote, I'm cold just watching this reaction.

[@ShreeNation]

I can't cry easily, tears don't come naturally to me idk why. When I'm sad I usually feel wrecked on the inside and have to walk away, or I chase away my numbness using jokes. We all cope in different ways.

[@thepeopleschamp1776]

​@@ShreeNation Oh, I'm sorry. When I mentioned "cold", I meant physically. I literally felt cold watching your video. You had on mittens, a scarf, and a coat. It had nothing to do with your actual reaction. I wasn't implying that you were an emotionally cold person.

[@ShreeNation]

Oh haha, my bad. Yes it was very cold when i was filming this video. February is the worst here.

[@sleepinggiant8150]

he gave a piece of himself to Paul so that Paul could see what John had seen Wild Bill do, he gave some to Mr. Jingles so he could live again. This is not the same as when he took the pain from Paul or Melinda. John Coffey was like Christ, or Christ-like sent by God to do good as a sign from God, but as Jesus knew ultimately his fate was not to live forever but to use his life to spread the word of God. in The end John like Jesus appears to succumb to the worst in Man, but in reality he has served his purpose and most poignantly returns to God at the hand of Man. It is unfortunate for Paul, that he sees the gift he received from John as a punishment for carrying out John's sentence. And goes thru life in regret rather than being Apostolic. Maybe that is why he remains so long on Earth.

[@bailey7792]

Why do so many people not get the fact... that Mr jangles didn't get extended life, because John brought him back? He got it when he was still holding him, when Del was being electrocuted. It was an accident and didn't have anything to do with John bringing him back

[@seanmorgan250]

@@BuhoPnu No I'm not being sarcastic. Clickbait. *My Hearts' Crying!*. Not a single emotional response during these 2 parts. Oh, I had to stop the film and go away during Del's execution because I was so devastated. Bullshit. Not a single tear. Maybe you should watch some genuine first time views of The Green Mile. .

@@seanmorgan250 My choice of words was deliberate. "My Heart's Crying." I can't cry easily. It's always been a thing. I get wrecked emotionally and I just walk away, or I get angry or I make jokes.

The actor who plays Percy is a creep in real life, marrying a 16 yr old at age 50, so he wasn't exactly reaching to play the character.

[@jeffelliott7353]

Having some experience with loved ones in mental homes, I feel no conflict over Coffey's "use" of Percy. He may well have had some vision of the kind of sadistic thrills the little monster would have had at the expense of the patients. Such institutions were much worse then we than that are now, and they are no great comfort now.
