Anyone that doesn't cry about this movie is heartless. I was always surprised Steven King wrote such an emotional story,but I am so grateful he did.

[@beardedjohnson5654]

I highly recommend looking into 11/22/63. A masterpiece. Read the book(if you can) before you watch the miniseries.

Hey Awesome US Movies, I hope you know that you're making a very positive impact on a lot of peoples lives. Your genuine reaction make younger people like me who's father passed away feel like I am watching an awesome movie with a father figure. Please don't change anything about your personality - you are a gem. Keep that smile on!!!

But when we watched movies together it was awesome because i could show him movies i love and i earned his respect because of my movie choises. Watching your reactions feels kinda similar. It is just a verry plesant experience that i lost and found again on this chanel. Thank you. Edit: Sorry for spelling mistakes and greetings from switzerland.

11:54 So pleased to hear a reactor _not_ exclaim “They don’t have an inside toilet?” I was born in ‘65 and my first house in Sydney Australia had only an outdoor dunny. 💩

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Na, it made sense to me

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

The movie they watch in the old folks home at the beginning is called "Top Hat," from 1935. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers had a longtime cinematic partnership, making nine films together. A song from that film called "Cheek to Cheek" became a jazz standard afterwards.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@@AwesomeUSMovies You're welcome. Hopefully you can add some more classic "Golden Age" movies to your list (1927-69, or something close to that).

My mother, the Feminist, had a favorite quote she used often: "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, just backwards and wearing high heels."

@@jean-paulaudette9246 😆 That's awesome!

[@floriangrogoll5206]

Both films (Shawshank Redemption & The Green Mile) clearly show what it's like when a great story is in the hands of a director who takes his time. Which gives the viewer time to identify with the characters, to like them or to hate them. Above all, it gives the viewer time to feel emotionally connected to the whole thing. Because only then follows one of the viewers to the end. I come from Germany. So the text comes from the Google translation.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Well said.

[@blaximperia]

Both are also about miscarriage of justice, and it’s ramifications on people’s lives (and deaths).

[@zbennalley]

My favorite story from this film is during Michael Clark Duncan's last conversation with Tom Hanks character he said normally actors when they not on-screen they have the day off. He said that Tom on his days off came to set and sat with him during his speech and gave an Oscar-worthy performance without the cameras being on him. He said that was the sign of not a true actor but a true human to just sit and be present and helped him deliver such an emotional performance.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

love that

[@nickmanzo8459]

As a Louisiana born native (not a Cajun) I can say that Delacroix’s Cajun accent is the closest non-Cajun’s fake/put on accent I’ve heard in live action. Super close even though I can tell it’s not real. In animated form, it’s the firefly from Princess and the Frog.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

thanks

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Everybody forgets just how good Michael Jeter was as Del.

[@SuburbanSavage]

Fun facts: Michael Clarke Duncan (John Coffey) and David Morse (Brutal Howell) are only an inch different in height (6'5 and 6'4 respectively), so they had to film David Morse always slightly behind MCD to hide the difference. The tallest Oscar nominee is James Cromwell (Warden) at 6'7, but the tallest Oscar winner is Tim Robbins (Andy from Shawshank) at 6'4.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Oh that is funny thanks

[@geraldmcboingboing7401]

John Wayne was also 6'4"

[@CinWin516]

I've seen this movie a few times and, even though I knew how it ended, watching you watch it made me cry all over again. I love that you could convey every emotion that was evoked by this film. It's so AWESOME that you are so appreciative of the true masterpieces that can be found in films. ❤

[@LuisM1416]

One of my favorite novel by Stephen King. I remember when to book came out in 6 parts. I waited each month to read the full novel. I still have my little paperback and my hardcover. Great reaction to this amazing film.

Oh wow!

[@anthonycurby4606]

Fun fact: When I was in Afghanistan, I was going through a box of books I received and I found all 6 green mile books. I put them in numerical order, and as soon as I did the power went off on the FOB (base). Was pretty trippy honestly

I waited until I had all 6 before I read them. I just re read them recently and I think I prefer the movie. Odd.

[@nathanpeoples2319]

Loved your reaction! Green Mile is such a work of art. Stephen King is great with horror but his non-horror stories are phenomenal. The director, Frank Darabont directed 3 King movies. Shawshank, Green Mile and a horror movie called The Mist. I recommend checking The Mist out around Halloween time. Even if it doesn't make the cut for your channel, at least check it out in your free time some time

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Will do, thanks

There's also Darabont's other "forgotten" movie, "The Majestic". It's worth a look.

Michael Clark Duncan indeed was nominated for an Academy Award. Michael Caine won, and during his speech he praised each of the other nominated actors' performances individually. I still remember him saying about Mr Duncan that he had never heard of him but he was astonishing. Great praise from a legend. He was so new and he was taken away too quickly. Mr. Duncan died in 2012. Here is a clip of the speech. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eabLialorKeYn7M&ab_channel=Oscars

[@williamjones6031]

1. YOU WILL CRY 2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie". 3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. (most likely a racial thing. It was 1935.) 4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row. 5. This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor 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. 7. Goof: Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. 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 being Percy.👌 10. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan (RIP). They used planks, a smaller bed and smaller chair along with trick photography to make John taller. 11 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. 12. Now we know what the "day old is fine" dry toast is for. 13 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. 14. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!

I've watched your channel since Star Wars, "A New Hope". I love that your children encouraged you to enjoy movies. I'm sure you see how it transcends just watching the movie to getting to know you and the great postive impact it has had on your life. I have three masterpiece movies to add to your list, as already mention in the comments below is "Schindler's List" which tops the list in my opinion directed by Steven Speilberg and a true story. Next is "The Pianist" another true heartbreaking story and "Sling Blade" brillantly acted by Billy Bob Thorthon. I think he wrote and directed it as well. I've only seen one reaction. He was most worthy of an oscar for his performance.

This was filmed at the old Riverbend Maximum Security Prison just outside of Nashville. In the late '80''s, as teens, me & my cousin got arrested smoking weed at the wave pool & we both got community service & had 2 tour this prison when it was still open. The inmates didn't really leave a big impression, but Old Sparky did! The real execution chamber was different. U had 2 walk outside of death-row & n2 a small 2-room brick building. In the 1st room was a concrete slab 4 the body & on the other side of the partition was the electric chair. It had been a while since they used it, but it smelled really weird. It had no air conditioning & was the middle of summer, & made me nauseous! I felt like I was in hell!😅 A friend of mine's dad was an extra in this. He played a guard.

It had several Oscar nominations, including for the late Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP) who was a very large man at 6'5" but not as tall in real life as they made him appear. In fact, the tallest guy in the movie was James Cromwell who played the prison warden with the sick wife. He is 6'7". Michael Clarke Duncan was recognized widely for his amazing portrayal of John Coffey. There are many very fine and well-known actors in this movie who continued to shine in other movies. You may have already seen some of them in other films. Sam Rockwell, (Billy the Kidd) for example.

Well deserved Oscar nominations

This is one of the greatest movies ever made! The 90's and early 00's cranked out some of the best movies out there. At that time Spielberg and Hanks were the power duo of the industry with movies like this one, Saving Private Ryan, and the Band of Brothers miniseries. If you haven't already seen them, I highly recommend Schindler's List, Gladiator, and the Band of Brothers miniseries. They are all award winning films from the same era!

I agree, the 90’s had some of the most brilliant movies and music.

Fantastic week starting off with Shawshank and ending with The Green Mile. Absolute classics. There aren't many like it to answer your question. But there are still tons of great movies left to watch and I look forward to it!

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'll find them all.
