This movie, Stand By Me, IT(all three: the 1990 mini-series, the 2015 "IT: Chapter 1" and the 2017 sequel "IT: Chapter 2"), the original 1989 Pet Semetery, and of course The Shining are my favorite Stephen King adaptation movies.

[@VerowakReacts]

@@randeecarreno4289 I'll be watching one of those in October!!

[@rexwilliams7643]

The Shawshank Redemption without question.

[@Eric_S.]

The Mist (2007) is one my all time favorite movies plus a lot of the ones mentioned in this thread.

[@ronfehr7899]

A difficult question to answer. Aside from this one, I would probably have to say The Shawshank Redemption.

[@safrisaleh412]

Michael Clark Duncan should have won the Oscar for his perfect portrayal of John Coffey.

[@VerowakReacts]

He really should have, he was so perfect!

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

At that Oscars it should have been two winners Haley Joel Osment (who won it for The 6th Sense) and Michael Clark Duncan. That would have been the best way IMO.

[@acdchook]

@@fritzkaraldo8452Haley Joel Osment was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but they gave it to Michael Caine for Cider House Rules. An absolute travesty.

[@earthien]

To be honest, that was a tough year. If I was able to, I would've split my vote between Osment (The Sixth Sense), Tom Cruise (Magnolia -- another movie you should react to), and Duncan for this film.

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

@@acdchook Somehow I thoug Osment won. So two actors didn't got the award they deserved.

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

Every viewer of this movie : _"What a little piece of shit. I hate that guy."_ the actor did a great job of breathing life into such an odious little goblin of a character. truly a master craftsman of his art.

[@VerowakReacts]

100% agree! The actor did so damn well making us hate Percy

[@jeffmansfield914]

It’s a testament to how well the actor did that, if I met him, it would be hard not to hate him on sight. He so embodied that character.

[@StarkRG]

The actor isn't exactly a good guy either. He's not as much of a piece of shit, but he did marry a 16 year old when he was 51.

[@user-wl6yz6uc7g]

He was a character we love to hate and he got what was coming to him

[@JustinWillisDevil240Z]

IDK what is better his character in this movie or in The X Files.

[@steveg5933]

"I'm tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we're coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other."- If more people understood that quote, what a better world we would have. Sadly many never will.

[@rogu3rooster]

Before even starting I just have to say RIP Michael Clarke Duncan, the epitomy of a gentle giant

[@VerowakReacts]

Gentle giant is so accurate. He seemed like such a genuinely kind person!

[@rogu3rooster]

@VerowakReacts I had the pleasure of meeting him once, he was such an imposing figure but with a heart of gold, an absolute pleasure to meet

[@MrAkilleus]

The story of John Coffey is truly heartbreaking. He is basically an angel come to earth to balance out the pain and missery with kindness and love, but the overwhelming darkness of the human condition just wears him down to the point that he just wants to die. Bleak as hell. 😶

[@VerowakReacts]

I know, right? Humans just destroyed his will to live :(

[@moonshineracer]

if you want another amazing Stephen King adaptation, I would strongly recommend Stand By Me. You won't regret it

[@kellifranklin4432]

I saw this at the theater when it came out and to look around and see men and women crying was really incredible to see. All these years later and I still cry. Stephen King is the GOAT of horror but his dramatic writing is equally beautiful. Rip Michael Clarke Duncan. He was amazing in this performance.

[@VerowakReacts]

Michael Clarke Duncan was phenomenal in this. Seeing it in theatres would have been quite something, the atmosphere would make it that much more epic

[@gmunden1]

There's a lot of religious symbolism throughout the story. The initials "JC" or John Coffey . John's attorney stated that there was no evidence of John's existence before his arrest, and no criminal history existed. According to his attorney, "It was as if he dropped from the sky."

[@bekindandrewind1422]

31:16 -- The part that everyone misses here, is Percy looking at Wild Billy and crying... He KNEW what Bill did.. When John expelled everything into Percy, the power showed him Bills memories..

[@Parallax-3D]

I always thought it was John basically “driving” Percy around and making him shoot Wild Bill, so it was John’s tears, not Percy’s. Percy was basically just along for the ride.

[@bekindandrewind1422]

@@Parallax-3D -- No matter how bad a man Percy might have been.... Bill was worse.

[@netzombiee646]

Tom Hanks said Michael Clark Duncan was the only star he’s seen, where people would come up to him, and not want an autograph, instead, they would want a hug.

[@VerowakReacts]

That makes perfect sense, and is so amazing

[@jeffthompson9622]

Think of the abuse that John Coffey saved Briar Ridge's patients from, when he sidelined Percy.

[@VerowakReacts]

Yes!! John Coffey did everyone such a big favor

[@rogeriopenna9014]

if a mouse lived 80 years, he should expect to live as long as Galadriel.

[@Hayden1969-ws4vy]

I saw this film aged 30 when it came out in '99 with some friends from where I worked. Near the end, I turned and looked at my co-worker's 16yo daughter. She was in floods of tears. I was also crying. This is the only film that has made me sad enough to cry. I'm 54 now and it still brings me to tears. Amazing film!

[@VerowakReacts]

Absolutely an amazing film, so well done by everyone involved, especially Michael Clarke Duncan, Sam Rockwell and Doug Hutchison

[@JulioHernandez-chico]

I was 10 years old when I first saw this movie. I was supposed to go to school the next day but I stayed up. It just intrigued me. When the death of John coffey came on. I cried so much my dad came into my room. Worried when he saw me crying on the Carpe looking at the tv and he saw what I was watching. He just sat down next to me. Everytime I see this movie and his death comes I just get teary eyed and there is this hard feeling I cry again. Specially when the actor who played John was a gentle giant too. And he died. May he rest in peace. Michael Duncan Clarke.

[@VerowakReacts]

I can just imagine your dad's panic at seeing you crying on the floor then being relieved once he saw what you were watching lol

[@Mr-gg8ek]

This is one of those ‘must react to’ movies. Glad to see you crying 😭. Only a stone could go through this movie and not feel something. Congrats Vero, you are not a rock.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

When Paul told Percy "We know people, too. Are you so foolish, you don't realize that?" What he meant was, there are plenty of very nasty people out there with a relative in prison. They're happy do do little favors if it makes their relative's stay a bit easier.

[@rexwilliams7643]

I've seen this film literally dozens of times, and I always sob like a baby.

[@VerowakReacts]

I'll be in the same boat

[@belindalopes6774]

Me too

[@bjm9071]

"Stand By Me" and "Shawshank Redemption" are Stephen King films that should be next on your list.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

This story was Stephen King's homage to "Of Mice and Men", with a giant, childlike character, seemingly comprised of pure goodness. For such a character, living in a fallen, hateful world full of evil and suffering was an agony, and Edgecomb, like George, killed the character out of kindness and mercy

[@rickardroach9075]

23:35 I like to think that John was trying to absorb some of Del’s pain to ease his passing.

[@VerowakReacts]

Yeah, poor John, going through all this pain for others 😭

[@deanthemachine7489]

Michael Clarke Duncan plays a villain in the Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck

[@draculimpaler4507]

I read this when it first came out. It was released in a serial form, like they did with those old 50s shows, like 3 chapters at a time. Then you had to wait a month or so for the next release. It was torture waiting lol. They did a really good job adapting it to film

[@VerowakReacts]

It sounds like torture waiting for more to release, but also builds up the hype and excitement :D

[@draculimpaler4507]

@@VerowakReacts Yes it was fun going to the store hoping the next installment was out

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

Stephen King did it that way, because people would flip to the end of his books, and read what happened, then they wouldn’t buy the books, so he decided to it that way so people couldn’t do that for this story.

[@johnstrickler2238]

There is a line from the book "The Black Gryphon" by Mercedes Lackey that has always stuck with me. It seems fitting with John Coffey. "Who heals the healer?" There is a point where you just get tired of your gifts of healing. A point where your gift seems to become a curse, because you have seen too much, experienced too much. Where you're just tired of having to put people back together, because of what you have to experience of them being broken in the first place. I think John Coffey was in the same place.

[@Cwyatt92]

Michael Clarke Duncan played the villain in Daredevil and another villain in Sin City. And he crushed both of those roles.

[@jeffthompson9622]

Michael Clarke Duncan worked with Bruce Willis in "The Whole Nine Yards," as well as "Armageddon." He was in "Daredevil" and "The Island," as well.

I discovered your content about a week ago and have been binge watching during breaks and late nights when I'm still up. You remind me of my wife when I introduced her to a lot of films, your warmth, your jokes, your compassion, I remember looking at her for her reactions. I wish the technology existed then to record it, lol. Thank you so much for making me appreciate you, films I've seen over and over and most importantly appreciating my wife all over again for all the years we have shared together from when we were your age.

[@Dragonstorm1234]

To put the "curse" that Paul got for making John ride the lightning in perspective, the average lifespan of a mouse is around 2 years, Mr Jingles lived for at least 60, if we assume Paul will live to the same ratio he will live around 2500 years

[@hollishamilton3943]

On any list of villains, Percy Wetmore will usually be top 5. My recommendation for a movie with another is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Anyone that has seen it knows who I'm talking about. One of three movies that won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress. Another big five movie is "Silence of the Lambs", with a remarkable villain (or two). A special shout out to the Oscar winning performance of Kathy Bates in "Misery", another Stephen King adaptation.

[@VerowakReacts]

I love me a good, despicable villain! I've always heard of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, it's probably about time I watch it lol

[@andystewart581]

Piece of trivia I read the other day. Michael Duncan had a problem with grabbing Tom Hanks when he healed him. So, Tom Hanks put a soda bottle in his pants for Michael to grab. There were more than 20 mice trained to perform in this movie.

[@VerowakReacts]

Those are fun facts I haven't heard before, thank you!!

The actor who played elderly Paul Edgecombe is Dabbs Greer. He also played the minister Reverend Alden in Little House On The Prairie.

[@MLawrence2008]

Michael Duncan is a villain in Sin City. John has been around for a very long time, hence the scars. Brutal is anything but. Just a wonderful man. I have never wanted to kill or see killed a movie character more than Percy. Even the other prisoners are interesting, you grow to love Del for example, however the book explains what they did to get on death row. Great reaction!

[@VerowakReacts]

Del just seems super sweet. Wild Bill was just a blast, though he's definitely not a good person. I love this movie because Tom Hanks isn't a standout character, all of the characters are very good

[@dunringill1747]

Michael Clark Duncan was also the villain Kingpin in Ben Affleck's "Daredevil" movie (2003). The director's cut is better than the theatrical release but not everyone enjoyed this movie.

[@nigeltrotter2886]

21:23- Prepare yourself gal. 22:09- Oh yeah. It's freakin crazy. 31:47- You don't want to see that boss. 36:03- Dang that hurts. Don't put an angel of light, in the dark.

[@andrewdunne2216]

When you nearly went at the 5 minute mark I thought to myself "brace yourself girl, this is going to be rough". But that's why we are here, to connect via the human experience of emotion.

[@diverbob33]

I once worked for the state of MN and I had a supervisor who was pretty much just like the Percy character. Strangely enough, he even looked a bit like him and, like Percy, he had connections in state government which contributed to his abusive treatment of his charges and sense of entitlement. On a lighter note, I live in the UP of MI and there is a small town not far from where I live that is named "Wetmore". Just east of this small village is a road called, "Percy Road". Thanks for the wonderful review!

[@jameshunt9208]

3:13 You are correct. They used camera tricks and platforms to make him seem even taller so that he would seem as massive as the character from the book.

[@philchazwill]

What a great reaction ... smart, insightful, empathetic and in places quite beautiful. Del's execution must be one of the most harrowing scenes in movies, and Del's relationship with Mr Jingles is surely one of the most touching in all film.

[@VerowakReacts]

I'm so happy Del had Mr. Jingles!! He got a bit of happiness before the end. I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction 💙

[@StarkRG]

Michael Clarke Duncan has played a few bad guys, but the one that comes to mind the most is as Kingpin/Wislson Fisk in 2003's Daredevil.

[@grabtharshammer]

Yes, you should react to that one

[@DumblyDorr]

"He just wants to see people he doesn’t like die? Sadistic bastard... I hope he dies" 😂 I get it, though... we all hate Percy.

The book was originally released as 6 novellas. I remember waiting until they all came out because I didn't want to wait for each one. Great read. This and Shawshank Redemption are the best adaptations of stories written by Stephen King.

[@VerowakReacts]

I would have done the same thing, wait until they're all released since waiting in between would be so difficult!!

[@that.ll_do_pig]

It's easy to get upset with the dad when he yelled at John's execution but we have to remember, they don't know he's innocent and the father saw him holding his deceased daughters with blood all over them. 😢

[@averymurray4722]

Interestingly,one of the many commentators viewed that John Coffeys reason for wanting death is that he did not want the Family to know that somebody that they had in their Home was the murderer.John felt that it would make the Parents,and Son feel worst.Thinking about that I agree.

[@Galiant2010]

The flipside of that is recognizing how much racism played a part, too. Yeah, he was found with the bodies which is pretty damning, and his statement can sound like an admission "I couldn't help it". But his lack of a proper trial and representation just streamlined his admission to death row.

[@philliplynx7877]

@@Galiant2010 This were the times back in 1935. Even if he denied it and give proof, he was a HUGE black man with 2 tiny white dead girls in his arms. I wondered why he wasnt shoot this moment. With this in mind, it is a wonder he even had got a trial. Do not get me wrong, it is a masterpiece of book and film and I cry every time I see it or reactions to it.

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

for his last words, John said, _"I'm sorry for what I am."_ that is a very telling statement about his sense of self. he is not sorry for WHAT HE'S DONE. he is sorry for WHO HE IS. he knows that while there are no regrets based on what he has done with and during his life. he has many regrets concerning the powers that he wielded. i also found it interesting that in the end, as he was walking to the chair, John was comforting the guards, and not the other way around.

[@VerowakReacts]

It's so heartbreaking to see John comforting the guards, and when Brutal tells him to feel what they feel since they don't hate him 😭

[@deafheaven99]

Three things I’d like to point out. John Coffey’s initials, JC (Jesus Christ), the electric chair is akin to the cruxifixction and my favourite part, the halo which forms around Johns head from the projector lights.

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

Some other Stephen King adaptations: Salem’s Lot, Christine, Carrie, Cujo, The Shawshank Redemption, Maximum Overdrive, It, The Tommyknockers, Pet Sematary, The Dead Zone, Firestarter, Cat’s Eye, Sleepwalkers, Stand By Me, Thinner, The Shining, Children of the Corn, The Running Man, Misery, Needful Things, The Mist, Doctor Sleep, and A BUNCH more, but those are the only ones that I could think of off of the top of my head.

Back in the 30s, brain surgery was usually a death sentence. Not today. In 2001 they found two walnut size tumors in my brain. I had them removed the same month they found them. Today I feel great.

This is my favorite Stephen King movie adaptation. The characters are great. Percy is top 3 villain material. «Stand by me» is another great one. And the Shawshank Redemption, of course. IT is my favorite book and I love the most recent adaptation IT Chapter 1 + Chapter 2. They are 2 parts of one story. (The book is 1000+ pages long.) So, I hope to see both, Stand By Me (1986) and IT Chapter 1 (2017) + Chapter 2 (2019) on your channel at one point.

[@Boomerbox2024]

You mentioned wanting to see Michael Clark Duncan play a villain, so I recommend reacting to "Daredevil" (2003) Where Mr. Duncan plays The Kingpin of Crime.

Percy Wetmore is also in "A Time to Kill". John Coffey is also in "Sin City". And for Wild Bill there are so many movies to recommend: "Moon", "Jojo Rabbit", "Galaxy Quest". The same director also did "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Mist". Castle Rock, the production company (owned by Rob Reiner), also did the Stephen King stories "Stand by Me" and "Misery", both directed by Reiner.

Dan) and Apollo 13 (Ken Mattingly). William Sadler (father of the two girls), was in Shawshank Redemption (Heywood), and Barry Pepper (Dean Stanton) played Private "Bumpkin" Jackson in Saving Private Ryan.

1. Michael Clarke Duncan starred with Bruce Willis in a very good crime comedy "The Whole Nine Yards" (2000), which I recommend. 2. I will write what I have already written on YT on another channel: the part of the song heard in the old movie seen at the beginning and end of the movie is "Cheek to Cheek" - a song written by Irving Berlin and first performed by Fred Astaire while dancing with Ginger Rogers in movie "Top Hat" (1935). And that movie "Top Hat" is also worth watching. I recommend :)

[@VerowakReacts]

Thank you! Sometimes I miss obvious things, but notice small details 😂

Dabs Greer should have at least been nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor...it would have been a wonderful tribute to an actor who had been in the business for decades (Rev. Alden in Little House, he married Mike and Carol Brady).

If you read the Dark Tower series there are some pretty big clues here that John is an escaped Breaker from Mid World

19:55 Richard Gere...... 😆 22:53 one of the best lines

the average lifespan of a mouse is around 2 years in ideal conditions, so making one live for 50 years is really something. If its a similar thing for tom hank's character, his lifespan would be about 25 times longer too. SO he's going to live almost another 2000 years

[@VerowakReacts]

That would be so fascinating, seeing all the advancements done. But at the same time, it would be so devastating seeing humans repeat the same mistakes

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

i did some math based on the lifetime of Mr Jingles. if the numbers hold up, Paul can expect to live well over 1,000 years. and if that is Paul's expected life span, just think of how long John Coffey ("JC", think about those initials!) had walked the earth suffering the pain of what humans do to each other.

[@VerowakReacts]

Would be pretty amazing to see how civilization advances in that 1,000+years

[@Pianodean]

Seen several of your reactions and so far this one's my favorite...bravo!

[@chrismillington2729]

There is a song I know/like which is about being immortal , "Still Life" by "Van Der Graaf Generator" (English group labelled as prog rock). A favorite sentence of mine in that song is: "Now all history is reduced to the syllables or our name".

[@Ewelllad]

Wow! You figured out the plot points and characters so quickly, and ahead of time. I'm impressed. And this is coming from a guy who made extra money reviewing movies for a local paper back in the day. I saw this movie many years ago and absolutely loved it. Seeing it through your eyes was a joy. Can't wait until your next video. :)

[@jabo109]

Yeah, she figured a lot of things very ahead of time.... Even some things that weren't even suggested by an action or words. 🤔🤔🤨 Had to stop it after 12 min, not buying it.

[@TJ-vn4wp]

You are so sharp! I always enjoy seeing you figure it out instantly, given any clue.

[@johncourtright1632]

First time on the channel. Incredible performances by Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks. Lovely reaction to a powerful film. Subscribed.

[@danlayne9436]

I firmly believe King wrote Michael Clarke Duncan into existence.

[@brianthom6798]

I've always felt that The Green Mile is the truest movie adaptation of a book ever made.

[@BrandonWestfall]

There's a TON of movies based on Stephen King books/short stories. Some of the bigger names are: The Shawshank Redemption (If you have not seen this it should be your next watch.) Misery Stand By Me It The Stand (older one is far better than the remake) Pet Semetary Gerald's Game Carrie Secret Window Doctor Sleep (Sequel to The Shining) The Mist Dreamcatcher The Running Man Cujo The Shining There's plenty more that he wrote or has been a producer on.

[@VerowakReacts]

That is WAY more than I was aware of, it seems I have a lot of movies to watch and books to read :D

[@BrandonWestfall]

@@VerowakReacts There’s easily 15-20 more I didn’t list as well.

[@VerowakReacts]

I'll be very busy with movies it seems lol@@BrandonWestfall

[@rollotomassi6232]

"Bad JuJu" - That's the best description I've heard yet.

[@VerowakReacts]

I went with the most technical term I could think of 🤣

[@bradpriebe9218]

Great reaction The acting in this movie, by all the actors, was phenom😢. I have watched this movie many, many times and it still chokes me up.

[@VerowakReacts]

If there was an Oscar for cast ensemble, they would have won for sure!

[@Mr-gg8ek]

Also worth noting, in the short period from 1993-2000 Tom Hanks did Philadelphia (the weakest of the bunch, but he did win an Oscar for best actor), Forrest Gump (another best actor Oscar), Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile and Cast Away. What a run!

[@VerowakReacts]

He was super busy in the 90s it seems!! Oh wow

[@jgeur]

Michael Duncan played the villain Kingpin in the movie Daredevil with Ben Affleck. Not a great movie but you want a movie that Mr. Duncan plays an antagonist….here ya go.
