This wasn't suppose to be a horror story, but when he says "if he could make a mouse live that long... how long do I have?" That gave me chills more than anything else. I've volunteered as an aid in a hospice one and I've met people who were ready to die, and everyday that they didn't they would struggle to find a reason to go on living. That ending always gave me an uneasy feeling. The idea of wanting to die but being denied it as a punishment always kind of scared me.

[@st0n3p0ny]

If you do the math, assuming Mr.J dies after that last scene (field mouse in captivity lives 2 years), it means Paul could live 3,000 years. Makes me wonder how old John actually was. Maybe that's why he doesn't remember when he got those scars, because they happened centuries ago in Nigeria or something before coming to America.

[@VelkanAngels]

I think it's because of the sound/music/notes playing as he says it. I don't think either the sound or the words by themselves would've caused the chilling effect it has when combined.

[@Diegesis]

Yeah I'd argue the horror feeling is intentional. It is Stephen King so I assume it was the over all end theme of the book

[@mayorjimmy]

I was at a strip club and I was talking to one of the girls and she says she stripped to get thru nursing school. Her first job as a nurse was at a pediatric hospice. She said she made it 6 months before she quit and went back to stripping. She couldn't handle just watching children die and not being able to do anything about it. She said she'd rather be stripping while she still had the body to do it.

[@IgnisKhan]

@@Diegesis The horror of Paul's "punishment" was pretty explicit in the book, yes. There's an attendant at his nursing home who treats him the same way Percy treated prisoners. And in the epilogue, we learn that in the 1950s Paul was the only survivor of a bus crash (like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable) -- his wife died but he survived ... and in the aftermath of the crash, he catches a glimpse of John Coffee standing by the side of the road in the pouring rain. Movie-Paul seems to just be assuming his longevity is a punishment. Book-Paul knows it for a fact.

To give you a little context, this took place in 1935, the middle of the depression, if a man lost his job, he wouldn't have been able to find another. Most houses especially in the country still had outhouses. Back then if a man took his wife to the doctor, the doctor told the husband the results of the exam and the husband then told the wife. It was in the deep south, Louisianna, and the prisons were segregated with the Green Mile located at a black unit with a few white trustees like Toot. There was a doctor there for the execution and if he wasn't dead, they had to do it over and over till he was. Once they had started Dell's execution, they couldn't stop, they would have just had to turn the juice back on. Executions as bad as Dell's were rare but did happen. The average lifespan of a mouse is 2 years and Mr. Jingles had already lived 60, 30 times that, so how long did Paul still have?

[@LongandWeirdName]

You have no idea if the JC gift adds years, in which case he has a few more to go through, if it multiplies your lifespan by a certain number, in which case he has a few thousand years of waiting for death, or if it raises it to a certain power, in which case he will see mankind die out, earth get swallowed by the sun, etc... And still won't be able to die. And he will be old as hell for all that time. With all the limitations of an elderly body. Stiff joints, diet limitations, very probable e.d., and so on. We would need at least one more example of someone who has been "gifted" by John to be sure. If we count John himself, he might be old enough to be brought into the US as a part of the slave trade, but that is just a theory some fans have and isn't stated outright anywhere, so he can't be used as an example to sort the math out.

I see your Percy Wetmore and I raise you another King character. Mrs Carmody. When Percy gets his comeuppance, you just go "Justice is served.".

It takes a special kind of actor, like Louise Fletcher, Marcia Gay Harden, Jack Gleeson, Doug Hutchinson, or Sam Rockwell to play a character that you truly despise.

[@firsealtonberry9712]

There is a sequence I love in the movie. The entire movie we first see what others have, then the truth underneath. The first impression is that John Coffy is massive, and if he wanted to do something violent the guards would be hard pressed to stop him. Then we see who he is. His good nature. His gentle demeanor. His innocence. Innocence on so many levels. Yes. John Coffey is good, and blessed, and possibly even a miracle of god. But then there is that moment when John is sick of a tumor swallowed and a self-righteous Percy is walking down the Green Mile, plotting his revenge - petty and dark (just watch Percy's eyes, the direction and lighting on Percy's eyes that entire scene) - and he stops and looks to his right (his RIGHT). John Coffy is there. Yes, we now know the good of him. But John is still a massive, powerful man, and while he may be a miracle of god, god had an entire Old Testament. Even a good man can feel the need to strike at evil ones. So John gives evil into evil, and directs that whole vile mess like a man aims a gun. Watch Percy's eyes, after John gives him the awful sickness and sends him on his way. The shade, the emptiness. Two birds, one stone and that night John had a stone like no other. It is just so well done.

[@brentfugett2700]

Arianna you're absolutely the best. Your reaction casts a powerful reflection on an already powerful experience. You don't miss a beat and your expressions really highlight the best of this film, which is already the most emotional roller coaster ever. Thanks so much.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The first time John Coffey does his magic everybody does the same thing: WTF??!!! But by the end of the movie they are an emotional mess. Great movie.

You might want to consider a movie called Contact, based on a book by Carl Sagan.

[@philbateman1989]

It's funny, because I got the chance to meet the cast of that movie a little while after it was screening, and they were all such kind people, even Doug and Sam (Percy and Wild Bill). They just have a talent for playing evil characters :D

[@johncourtright1632]

First time viewer. Lovely reaction. We were crying along with you. This is truly a beautifully acted, but heartbreaking film. This film really sheds a light on true goodness, true evil, and the heart-wrenching dilemma faced by men who know in their hearts that someone is innocent, but have no way to prove it. Add to that the suffering that John Coffey had to endure every day "like pieces of glass in my head", because of all the ugliness in the world. John was clearly too good for this world! Please consider adding "Meet Joe Black" to your reaction list. A very thought-provoking love story and great performances by Brad Pitt, Claire Forlani, and Anthony Hopkins. Subscribed.

Quick correction. The warden's wife knew she had the tumor, when she was healed it was like she was taken back to before she found out. He didn't keep anything from her.

I saw the saving private Ryan reaction. I watched the green mile when i was a teenager and i shook me to the core. The bit with the dry sponge has never left me.

No shame in crying during this movie, at all. I can't tell you how many tissues I've gone through watching this classic.

I appreciate your genuine emotions during this gem, and you have a new subscriber!

There is something so cathardic about the empathetic feeling i get watching someone go through all the feels of watching a drama of this caliber for the first time. I can see why youtube viewers get hooked on reaction streamers.

Great reaction. One of my favorite Stephen King films and while it's sad and it's very long, it's an amazing film and one of Frank Darabont's best. Still, a very great and beautiful reaction video from Arianna.

Perfect story, perfect cast, perfect performances. Brilliant. you, regarding Percy: "Oh, I'm gonna HATE him." Me: Yes, you are.

[@mybrainhurts1856]

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of first time viewers don't realize or remember that it's 1935 - no real antibiotics, chain gangs (& not just the South) outhouses, etc were commonplace - as was the death penalty which was, in fact, more humane than previous methods. Js

[@terenceharris9432]

John Coffey: 1999 - "I'm tired of people being ugly to one another." Me: 2022 - "It's so much worse now."

[@ToxicDover]

Such a great film (the book is amazing as well). Another incredible Stephen King film adaption is The Shawshank Redemption (same director as well). If you haven't seen that yet, I'd highly recommend checking it out!

[@83gemm]

@@crankfastle8138 Really? You lost all sympathy? Despite reading that the thing which committed the crimes “vacates and leaves us to kill husks which aren’t really men?” The beauty of this story is that it invokes sympathy for those who committed horrible crimes. “Fragile as blown glass we are…. To kill each other… the folly, the horror.” If you didn’t feel sympathy for Del at his death, despite his absolutely reprehensible actions, then you missed the whole theme of the story.

[@83gemm]

If you like audiobooks, this is one of the best! Frank Muller does an astounding job

[@GrouchyMarx]

Yours is one of the best and moving reactions to the Green Mile and I've seen a lot!. And as it turns out, there's another prison movie also written by Stephen King, and is probably the highest rated movie ever. "The Shawshank Redemption" with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, and again directed by Frank Darabont. No matter which of the two a newbie watches first the other will be promptly recommend! I think you'll like it even better. ✌😎

[@danielstephens9533]

39:25 I think when John Coffee transferred the sickness to Percy, he also sent him the vision of what Wharton did to those little girls. Percy was crying and I think even he couldn't bear the undeniable pure evil Wharton had committed, and so killed him.

[@joakimberg7897]

Yes

[@MrBraddles3128]

I don't think so. I just think that Percy's internal conscience knew it wasn't in control and that John was about to ruin the rest of his life.

[@williamsummerson1204]

Easily one of the best reactions I've ever seen. I always cry when I watch this movie. It's a phenomenal, beautiful and heartbreaking film. Tom Hanks is a legend and Michael Clarke Duncan gives one of the greatest performances that I've ever seen. RIP to Michael. Gone but never forgotten. 🙏😢

This movie is so powerful and a very good adaption from the book. I love both and will label this as my favorite Tom Hanks movie and in my top five favorite movies. It’s a roller coaster of emotions between compassion to contempt, kindness to cruelty and the basic humanity when life is coming to an end. If you want to read the books (it’s a multi mini book series) I would highly recommend. I also think you will appreciate that Paul is disgusted by that man associating African Americans with mutts in the book. I loved your reaction and look foreword to your future reactions.
