The Green Mile Reaction part 1

[@smashbrandiscootch719]

This movie is an absolute MASTERPIECE. Someone's probably already mentioned that it's based on a novel by Stephen King. Michael Clarke Duncan(RIP) completely SHATTERS me every single time I see this. His performance and ability to portray such gentleness contrasting with his MASSIVE form is just incredible.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Yeah I loved him so much!!! He is like the pure and “clean” version of Grog!! Grog is pure too but very… violent 😂

[@Blkmail]

I really enjoy your reactions. I watch them when i get off work. They seems to make me feel better and be able to get on with my day. I will join your pateron when im able to. You are the light to get me through this tunnel. I pray for continued success for you and your channel!❤

[@brandonflorida1092]

Good reaction and intelligent commentary. You have everything you need to have a successful channel. The one negative is that the volume of the film was very low.

[@scottdetter]

Sorry guys, Dogs do sometimes attack without provocation for no reason. Happens more than people think.

[@khozomakikei549]

You're taking me back with this one..." Walking the Mile , walking the Green Mile"

This was one of my recommendations in your early reactions, so glad you did it! Loved your reaction, keep it up.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Yesss!! Long list of movies and shows to get to but making my way through them gradually lol!

[@lynnhathaway3755]

"Is this a feel good story?" Oh, my heart hurts for you, you sweet, kind woman.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

It was very bittersweet, with an extra dose of bitter :(

[@kwadwotuffour5529]

I'm always glad to see a new reaction to this movie. You're beautiful, btw, Nia. I already love your whole aura, voice, etc. About to enjoy your reaction!

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Thank you!! I loved the movie, it was a roller coaster ride but I enjoyed it!

"Is this a feel-good story?" You poor soul.

Yeah I was destroyed by the end lol

I loved d way u jumped wen percy killed d mouse n den gasped wen john said give him 2 me haha

[@leftundersun]

5:06 because we're here for the tears basically. Look, we want to revive the emotions this movie caused on us the first time we watched, and since we already know what happens, it's kinda hard. So we experience this emotions through empathy. So we actually want you to cry, to laugh, to get pissed off, so we can do it too.

[@williamjones6031]

1. YOU WILL CRY 2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production so his part was done later. 3. Goof: In 1935 black and white inmates were not kept in the same prison., 4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row. 5. This had two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting (MCD) and best cast. Sadly they 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. Harry Dean Stanton: Christine

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Thanks so much, maybe I ought to read the book! Shawshank redemption will be coming soon, but I am definitely not watching The Mist after seeing it’s a horror flick lol!

[@williamjones6031]

@@NiaMakiReacts I have read 53 King/Bachman books and TBVHWY I'm not the biggest Shawshank fan but you must watch it. That said, Absolutely do The Mist". If for nothing be the ending.

4:11 "Do they have to _shout_ that?" Oh, no. That's not necessary in the _least._ But Percy's a sadist. And, no, that's not just an insult. He's the _only_ guard on Death Row who's there because he gets a thrill from seeing people _suffer._

I just subscribed, because I couldn't imagine never seeing you again. I'm really looking forward to part 2 and whatever else you react to.

First Time Watching Green Mile Pt 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHqrfpKBdqmVnc0

[@yb9964]

I just found your channel and am binging lmao but I wanted to say I love movies that question how we view bad and good, criminal or not, especially within the context of incarceration. Because some these people may have done some vile things but like you said, Percy enjoys violence way too much. He just found a way to do it without getting put in a cell. Between this and Shawshank redemption, I don’t know which I love more. Keep up the amazing videos !

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Right?? It’s really interesting when u start pondering about life watching some of these movies and shows.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

15:35 😏 That's the tail end of a _classic,_ cinematic moment, right there.

[@rodneyhayban4398]

Loved watchin dis wt u another classic if anyone doesnt cry watchin dis movie they heartless its a sad movie but also happy n hope 2 but sad miracles happen everday

[@lazyperfectionist1]

18:20 "Give you a _nickel_ for that _moon_ pie." "Where you get a _nickel_ from?" 😄 Heh. You're not the first one to _wonder_ that, and it's a _good question._

[@leftundersun]

14:23 that's so good, isn't it? We get fooled, we think it's a down to reality movie and then BOOM: supernatural stuff

[@DC21NY]

I saw the try not to cry challenge in the title and I already started laughing

[@NiaMakiReacts]

😂 yeah there was no way I was making it out of that without crying

[@NWats-ik6ou]

The only one who asked the proper questions “Where’d he get a nickel from?!” Same thing I was wondering the whole time.

[@alfreddaniel1994]

@@NiaMakiReacts No, that happened before the Percy scene. So I'm guessing because they thought he was destitute, they never searched him.

This movie legit broke me when I first watched it

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Forreal… 💔

[@lazyperfectionist1]

It doesn't strike me as _plausible_ or _healthy_ to challenge people to watch this movie without _crying._ The toughest, most stoic man _freely admits_ to _crying_ when he sees this movie. Especially the _first_ time. But going in, on guard for tragedy detracts from your ability to fully _experience_ that tragedy when it _happens._

[@rodneyhayban4398]

Everyone fails u must cry watchin dis by d way i lov yr beautiful curly hair

[@Lue_Jonin]

When the film ,all of a sudden, changed to a supernatural aspect....did you forget that this was a Stephen King adaptation ?

[@NiaMakiReacts]

See, I was not even aware that’s what this was 😂 I went in blind,

@@NiaMakiReacts Not all King films are scary or supernatural though.... "Stand by me" for one. ❤ 🎥 I enjoyed your reaction video.... Well done 👍

[@chandlermorgan708]

You should react to shawshank redemption after this

[@NiaMakiReacts]

It has been added on the list! I’ve heard the name so much but… I never watched it

[@christopherchadwick2659]

16:35 From experience of seeing three of my family and friends attacked by dogs, being bitten in the face each time, you definitely DON'T need to provoke a dog before it attacks. In each case, the dog attacked without warning.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

I’m so sorry to hear that 😱 I can’t even imagine what they went through

[@davehazel5632]

I really loved your reaction Nia, I hope you get to react to Jojo Rabbit. I've watched it recently and it's now one of my favorite movies of all time. If you like Tom Hanks you should check out Forrest Gump or Saving Private Ryan. But I really think Jojo Rabbit will really surprise you.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Thank you!! I’ll have to look that one up, I am actually watching saving private Ryan next! I’ve watched Forrest Gump a LONG time ago lol but I may rewatch one of these days

[@davehazel5632]

@@NiaMakiReacts Great! I think Saving Private Ryan is one of the BEST movies ever made, but Jojo Rabbit is really a GREAT movie. It'll make you laugh and it'll make you cry. It's a story from the eyes of a 10-year-old kid who has an imaginary friend of Adolf Hitler who grows up in 6 months' time. I really believe you'll love this movie and I'll follow you after Ryan and especially if you watch Jojo Rabbit. Great job on The Green Mile though.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

@@davehazel5632 oh wow I would have never guessed that from the title!! 😂 I’ll have to add that in as well but awesome! I try to do movie reactions every other week but hopefully I’ll be able to get them ever every week in the near future!

[@noheroespublishing1907]

Challenge? Hah! This is nothing, now, the movie Come And See directed by Elem Klimov, now that's a challenge; just to get through the ending; it's rough.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

I’m sure I wouldn’t survive that lol

[@noheroespublishing1907]

@@NiaMakiReacts Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing film, honestly it changed my entire prospective on the Second World War, but it is an intense experience; free on KZbin actually, if you just look up the name. I think everyone should see it once, especially if you don't know anything about the Eastern Front of the war; when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union; the Soviets lost near thirty thousand people due to that invasion; it was brutal.

[@jamesbronson4380]

Just wanted to thank you for watching one of my favorite movies. Just a suggestion. I don’t know how other KZbinrs play the movies with more volume? In your videos is hard to hear the movie dialogues. 🥺

Thanks James! Audio is something I always had trouble with! Hopefully the newer ones are a little better, but if not please let me know!!

Those captions for peeing freely and easily are an insult to Tom Hanks' acting ability. He FULLY conveys that to the audience lol - no subtitles necessary.

[@I9s7lam5is-S3tu1pid]

Here’s a comment from a KZbin channel. KZbin video comments kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJa5qp2pd96Cgas By Uncle Bounce • 10 mo ago (edited) Excellent reaction. Remember, Percy was no less or more evil than the rest of convicts on death row (excluding the single innocent one). They all committed heinous, heartless crimes to get there. One of the best and most overlooked aspects of this movie is the way it is written to trap the audience with their own hypocrisies. All the bleeding hearts who worry about death penalties being too painful or not humane enough, I have never heard any of them say anything less than "I hope Percy dies and suffers horribly dying." (or something similar). The irony, of course, is Percy is simply someone who belongs on death row, making him an equal to the same people you are also crying over and worrying if they suffer. "Innocent" inmates on death row or any crime that requires unanimous guilty verdicts are quite rare, MANY times more rare than what Hollywood portrays with their constant "innocent man in jail" trope. Shawshank speaks the truth: "we're all innocent" (but none truly are). It's just a public act for the gullible and easily manipulated bleeding hearts. Notice how Percy and Wild Bill both could suddenly go from evil into sweet and apologetic and whimpering "poor me" acts? Over and whimpering "poor me" acts? Over and over. Those other inmates are the same. They all did horrible stuff (like the dog who bit out the boy's eye then later tucks tail and acts innocent). These evil people all act apologetic and sad when they're caught and being punished, and if you haven't figured that out by watching Percy and Wild Bill over and over, then you're an emotional fool with less brainpower than Del.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

I agree that this movie does a great job of gaming people realize their own prejudices. I did not like Percy of Wild Bill, but I actually felt bad for what happened to him. You can see that I clearly did not like him, but I’d never wish death on him, and also was truly horrified when I thought the illness was transferred to him… and felt pity for him when he pissed his pants too… It’s one thing to like “get someone back” when it’s not really harmful like the spraying with the hose… but like death, beatings, humiliation… I don’t wish that on anyone

[@chandlermorgan708]

All my homies hate Percy

[@khozomakikei549]

count me in as well...

[@NiaMakiReacts]

I felt bad for him in the end but I know if he ever came back to his senses my hate will return just as quick lol

[@gunnarjinx]

Gonna do well.... just "try" to react and "chat" less .... imagine going to the cinema with someone "yapping" constantly .... BUT ur gonna do good ... just naturally "react" and instead of creating it..... watch and allow us to feel ur reality (hope is not talking in cinemas and such) ;))))

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Thank you! Unfortunately for highlight I’d I don’t talk enough it may cause issues with copyright, because it needs to be “transformative”. I got 2 strikes on my channel already and one more would get it taken down. But in the full length I’m not always talking, I just take those moments and stitch them together for KZbin

[@SaguaroBlossom]

This is the WORST movie for a try not to cry challenge. It's a guaranteed failure for anyones first time.

[@michaelpalmer7954]

Excellent acting by Michael Clarke Duncan. Highly emotional work of fiction. Great reaction, Nia Maki. But the "True" miracle worker will forever wipe all your tears away. Revelation 7: 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." For the Lamb Of God, Jesus Christ, can give eternal life to all that will believe. John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." Also 1Corinthians 15:1-4

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Definitely, the acting was great and story too. I didn’t realize while watching about John Coffey = JC, it’s such a great movie

[@artbagley1406]

Maybe the next time you watch TGM you'll be more relaxed and view it simply as you would just "another film," not having to record your reactions. The efforts of the director, screenwriters, set designers, actors, and others aren't being fully recognized and enjoyed when feelings are clamped down. I've never done a reaction video, but I have seen lots of mixed feelings in the reviewers because they want to walk that tightwire between fully enjoying the film as a film and sharing their analysis of the plot, characters, etc.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Yes! I always like to watch movies and shows multiple times because there’s so much you miss when initially you are just trying to follow the plot. Part of why I also like reaction channels cause I get to rewatch and get a different perspective on things
