He could not bring back the dead. He could heal if there was still a spark of life in some living creature. That's why he would say things like it was too late, or there might still be time. If he could bring back the dead, the 2 girls would have been resurrected.

You guys said you wanted to know what crimes the death row inmates committed. I read the book a really long time ago, so my memory may be a bit off. Bitterbuck (The Native American) un-alived a man in a bar fight for his shoes, I think. Delacroix (The French Cajun with the mouse) “graped” a woman, un-alived her and then tried to burn her body to cover up the evidence. The fire wound up spreading and killing other people, too. The movie shows you Wild Billy's crimes and John of course was innocent. Hope this helps!

Pet mice can live for about 3 years, a wild mouse rarely lives half that long due to disease and predation so Mr jingles had already exceeded his lifespan by about 40-50 times. The lifespan of a United States male born before 1900 like Paul was lived to about 50 so if his life was extended at the same rate as mr Jingles he is looking at over 2000 years before he will die.

The stuff coming outta his mouth are death flies. In the book stephen king describes them like that. And its hinted that john Coffey is an angel. Stephen king said when thinking of the story, what if Jesus christ came to earth as a black man in the south in the 1940s. Its also hinted that john has been on earth for a long time. Possibly he was a slave during slave times hence his scars. Great reaction guys love your channel

The book by Stephen King gives u the backgrounds on the characters. Fantastic book. How John Coffey grabbed and smelled the earth. The way he spoke about the stars like he knew them. Because he did. John was "dog-tired" walking the earth and was ready to go home to heaven. Like his lawyer said they couldn't find background on John Coffey, "like he fell down from the sky". The I'm in heaven song.

This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (MCD) 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. Movie magic 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. EVERYONE hates him.🤬🤬 10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge. 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan. They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look 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.
