And Edgecombe's name is Paul. Saul of Tarsus executed Christians under the authority of the State, then he had an epiphany, his name was changed to Paul, and he stopped killing and began spreading tbe gospel of Jesus. Edgecombe stopped taking part in executions and is telling the story of John Coffey.

@willahelmpowers48352 жыл бұрын
I like Shawshank and The Green Mile, and even if watched the other way around they're both good, but it's always nice to me if a person watched Shawshank before The Green Mile, Since it likely makes the "turn" even more unexpected, along with it being as far into the movie as it occurs. Assuming the viewers are fortunate enough to not had the surprises made known to them before hand.

Michael Clarke Duncan was a large man, of course....but they used a variety of in-camera tricks to make him look even bigger. For instance, when he first arrives and Percy's walking him in, they had Michael walking on a platform. Creative camera angles and a little bit of forced perspective helped complete the illusion.

I can still remember the anxiety and stress I felt when reading The Bad Death of Edward Delacroix and that was more than 20 years ago. I read it before bed and I'd never read or seen anything so graphic or disturbing. I just lay in bed staring at the ceiling unable to sleep.

King does spend a good deal of time describing it in detail. ☹️ Are you as impressed as I am by how well the movie follows the book? Nearly all of the dialogue comes directly from the book. Same with The Mist. Less so with Shawshank, but it embodied it very well.
@dr.burtgummerfan4392 жыл бұрын
Delacroix is French for "of the cross". Edwards's execution was worse than any others. He and Coffey have some interesting lunes of dialog. Coffey sad "I tried to take it back, but I couldn't" and at his execution he said "I'm sorry for what I am". Delacroix said "I'm sorry for what I do ( did), I wish I could take it back, but I can't."

Everyone seems surprised that Percy is still there. In the book, it is explained that *_transfers take time_* to go through. Even with his connections, and other people like Hal the warden expediting, the process would have taken a month or so from when the application was filed (and that's the FAST track).

In the book, John spends his days in his cell, crying. At first, Paul finds it satisfying that John is suffering from the bad things he's done. But later, we learn that John is an empath and feels the pain in the world. 🥺 So when John says he wants it to end, Paul understands but can't absolve himself of the electrocution. Years later, Jan dies in an accident. Paul is devastated and cannot stop thinking that if he hadn't killed John, John could save Jan. 🥺

They all wanted to meet him.

Although both movies came out close to each other, the story of Shawshank was written long ago in the eighties as part of the book Different Seasons. The Green Mile on the other hand came out in early 2000s in an old format King was trying to revive by releasing the story in six parts, each book release was separated by a full month. When the film came out, the story was 're released as a single book. (Btw The Stand still is my favorite King book, and I listen the unabridged audio book on occasion) Thanks for the reaction.

Was pretty cool all the crossovers between this movie, Shawshank Redemption and Saving Private Ryan. Tom Hanks and the one guard both in Saving Private Ryan. the guard with the hose in here was the lawyer in the beginning of Shawshank. The father of the two girls here was Heywood in Shawshank. The prisoner that worked in the infirmary that said the prisoner beaten by the guard died, was one of the workers on the tarred roof in Shawshank.

His real name is Brutus. They call him Brutal because he's so damn big. Don't feel too sorry for the prisoners. All of them but John Coffey are there because they committed some heinous crimes. The book explains this in ways that the movie doesn't. I do agree that Percy is a sick individual and the way he went about it was wrong, downright evil. Also, once a man has been sentenced to death, the only people who could stop it would be the governor of the state or a judge. Had any of the guards turned John loose, they not only would have been fired but imprisoned for helping a CONVICTED(operative word) murderer escape.

What always gets me is that if Mr. Jingles had his life accidentally extended so much and Paul was given so many years with just 'a little bit' of John's power, then how long would John himself have lived being *filled* with that power? How long had he lived up to that point? Imagine a black man in the South in the 1930s who was most likely born way before 1865 and felt all the pain and suffering around him. That's pure horror.

Toot-Toot is a non-death row prisoner trustee. They are afforded certain privileges. The setting for this film is 1930's Depression Era South. There is a lot of religious symbolism from the cathedral-like windows over the desk leading to the green mile. The observation of the night time constellations and the smell of nature. The walk to John's execution/crucifixion. The halo from the film projector light over John's head. The book does go into detail to explain Del's, Arlen Bitterbuck, and Wild Bill's crime.

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 sadly didn't win. 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 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. 9. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. 10 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. 11. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!

He's the prosecutor who puts Andy Dufreign in Jail and he's one of the Prison guards in this film. The actor quit The Walking Dead in support of Frank Daramont who was let go from the tv show. Many feel that the best seasons of the tv show were the ones that Frank directed. I believe Frank directed the first 2 seasons of the Walking Dead. Just some interesting facts
