I saw this in the theater. The audience was the most interactive I've ever experienced. People HATED Percey. There was an audible gasp when he killed Mr. Jingles and cries of "You bastard!" when he told Dale there was no Mouseville. They gasped when the camera revealed Melinda's beauty after she was cured, and audibly wept when Coffey died.

I fought in Iraq for so long that something inside me broke. I can't handle any violence or pettiness or cruelty anymore. And I'm old enough to have realized that this world is a cold, selfish place. So when John says, "I'm tired of people being ugly to each other," I feel it in my core. Why do evil men get free reign? Why are good men forced to carry the burden? I'm not a religious man, but I often feel like if there were a Hell, it would look an awful lot like here and now.

[@davehazel5632]

Hey TenTonNuke, I truly appreciate you for your service to our country. I did 13 years in the USAF, but never saw combat. I love that you put yourself on the line for whatever your reasons may have been. Stay strong brother. I know what you mean about evil people. I am a believer in Jesus and I truly believe the evil people of the world will get what they deserve when the time is right. I am not trying to push my beliefs on anyone, but I really believe Almighty God is in control. We just need to stand strong and trust in God.

[@chrisking6667]

I saw this film at 15 when my parents were away. Dad called to check up on me and my sister right when the scene with Paul and his wife were having sex. All dad could hear on the phone was a woman moaning on TV in the background. As you can imagine he didn't believe I was watching a wholesome film. The phrase "so I guess you were just watching Green Mile again" has been a running joke ever since.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

To put it in perspective, Mr. Jingles is still alive after 64 years once Paul left the Green Mile at 44. A mouse's lifespan is 2 years, so 32 lifespans for him and he is still going. Paul is 108, so he has a long ways to go since an average lifespan for a human is 70 or so. 2240 years at least left plus more he has to suffer. Really recommend The Terminal with Tom Hanks

What a great cast, one of my top 5 all time movies. I've seen it 20+ times and it still brings a tear down my cheek. RIP Mr. Duncan and Michael Jeter (Delacroix). Sam Rockwell (Wild Bill) has become one of the top actors today. Stephen King is one of the greatest storytellers of his generation.

I seem to recall that David Morse is one inch shorter than Michael Clarke Duncan's 6'5", and James Cromwell is taller, at 6'7." Dabbs Greer was also in science fiction/monster movie "Twenty Million Miles to Earth," which influenced "Alien." Bruce Wilis did us a favor after working with Mr. Duncan in "Armageddon" by recommending him for this movie. Edit: The Dabs Greer movie I was thinking of was "It: The Terror From Beyond Space "(1958).

[@petercdowney]

I think we can all agree that any film with Tom Hanks in it is going to be great.

[@stevenjump8234]

Frank Dourabont wrote and directed 3 Stephen King based movies, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile and The Mist. He also was in charge of the first 2 season of The Walking Dead. Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan became very good friends while filming this. Tom also spoke at Michael's funeral. Michael Clark Duncan also played Kingpin in Daredevil with Ben Affleck. I've heard that Jon was suppose to be Jesus and that the scars on him are from where the Romans whipped him and from the thorn crown they placed on his head. Not sure if that's true but I remember hearing it when the movie first came out. When Dell was being killed, John being an empath could feel all the pain Dell was going through, which overloaded John, causing part of his power to spill into Mr Jingles.

[@rromano158]

Here are a few movies with Michael Clarke Duncan: Armageddon, Sin City, and The Whole Nine Yards, and that's just to name a few. I believe it was the director and screenwriter(s) deliberately did not let the audience know why Arlen or Del were on death row so that the audience would have more sympathy for them.

[@djbazman69]

Just one word for this movie. .....masterpiece.

[@TheRealdal]

I believe in redemption. That being said, some people should never again walk among us, the psychopathy just can never be helped. I have been a provider in a prison where several of my patients were once on death row and had their sentences commuted to LWOP. With hindsight they feel remorse for their past crimes and are old men now. Most were on drugs or alcohol and full of anger and hate in their youth. It’s not an excuse, but with treatment and sobriety they have become mentors and hard workers. Stephen King once said in an interview something to the effect that this short story was his interpretation of “what would happen if Jesus Christ was born as a black man in the 1920-1930’s in the south”.

The green mile is up there with one of the most emotional films I've ever watched, even now years and years later it makes me cry like the first time ❤

[@paulayala6174]

Wow guys! I first consumed this story via the original periodicly released paperbacks, which still still on our bookshelf. I have also seen this movie adaptation hundreds of times, and read an in-depth article by Stephen King explaining his thought process behind this story. Besides all that, I never once cried throughout all that. Part of the reason for that is that I am just very capable of dealing with heavy subject matter, even in real life when it impacts me directly. I am also an Atheist, despite being raised Catholic and attending the Church of the Nazarene in my teenage years when I met my wife and simply wanted to engulf myself in every aspect of her life. Despite all that insight and exposure to this story, this is the absolute best reaction video I've seen of it yet. Likewise, for the first time since first watching it, you guys offered more angles of analysis than I had ever considered previously. Your reaction actually added to the experience and actually got me much more invested in the subject matter. This is a very complex film, mostly because it's based on King's story. His idea spawned from his wonder about the subject of the death penalty; specifically, "old sparky" (aka, the electric chair). King wondered what must be the thought process and emotions experienced in the minds of the condemned. For that matter, what about the people who have to pull the switch, or prepare the condemned for their final moments. And, true to King's nature, he also wondered what goes on in the minds of the evil people involved in the process. That is why the intertwined nature of so many complex characters and story lines in this beautifally crafted worked of fiction. I may be an Atheist, but I'm not one of those idiots who feel threatened, offended, or resentful about religion in general; and I can easily respect a well-told story even if it is based on a foundation of religion, faith, or devinity. I totally understand the message, and the intent of such stories; and story-telling is a unique craft that not everybody has. For those reasons, I consider this one of the best movies I've ever seen. A great story line, wonderful acting, and good practical effects are all that's needed to make a good film. Castaway is another Tom Hanks film with all those same elements. Thank you guys for this well-done reaction video. I have been watching a lot of them posted by many different content characters on KZbin, but only a few of them do a well enough job to get me to subscribe, binge watch all the videos they've already posted, and wait in anticipation to get a notification when there is a new video to watch. Great job! Keep up the good work.

It's not mentioned often, but in the book, it's stated by John Coffey that each person executed in the chair has a part that stays in it. John didn't want to be stuck with Bill for eternity. He was also worried about the other people trapped and what Bill might do to them.

The death penalty is necessary but not in an electric chair. It's been a long time since they've been used. There are some people who just don't deserve to be alive anymore. If I were in their situation I'd rather die then spend my life in prison.

Michal clark duncun deserved more roles from this film movie alone 🥺

[@j.woodbury412]

Tom Hanks and James Cromwell (Warden Hal Moores) were offered the roles of Andy Dufresne and Warden Sam Norton in "The Shawshank Redemption". Hanks turned the role down because he was filming Forrest Gump and Cromwell turned the role down so Bob Gunton could get it. Several cast members from "The Green Mile" also appeared in "The Shawshank Redemption": William Sadler (Klaus Detterich, the father of the two girls Coffey was convicted of murdering) played Haywood, Jeffrey DeMunn (the guard Terwilliger) played the Prosecuting Attorney at the beginning of the movie when Andy is sentenced, and Brian Libby (One of the officers who arrest Coffey) played one of the prisoners. I can't remember his name, but he was the one that told Andy that Brooks had gone crazy.

One thing to note, as perfect as the acting is by Hanks, Duncan and the rest, the performances of Del and Wild Bill must be equally appreciated, though despised.

The late Michael Clark Duncan can be seen with Martin Lawrence, Mo'Nique and the late James Earl Jones in "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" an all-black comedy The Octobers should watch and react to.

[@chris...9497]

The first execution rehearsal you see is the usual procedure. -The one to be executed is removed from the building (Bitterbuck had a family visit, Del had a fake demonstration of his mouse's training). -The trustee (a trusted lifer prisoner) steps in to represent the one to be executed, so the guards are freshly rehearsed. They don't put the condemned through the stress of such familiarization with their execution; it's too upsetting and can lead to desperate actions and violence. _________________________________________________________________________________ It's as if 'E'-Block is a kind of monastery the condemned enter, to prepare for their meeting their God. The guards are monks, treating each man with reverence and dignity, and they serve to prepare the condemned for their fate. They even receive a 'tonsure' before being seated in 'Ol' Sparky'. Percy has too many personal issues to be there and puts a strain on the way Paul runs the place. You can read the source material or google the backstory on Bitterbuck's and Del's crimes. They were murders caused by bad choices, not true evil. And in a way, the thoughtful dignity shown these condemned men really do ready them to meet God, their regrets for their crimes being sincere and selfless. It does remind me of Christ at Golgotha conferring forgiveness on those crucified that sincerely repented. You can tell the inmates had finally got their minds right when Bitterbuck envisions heaven and Del shows respect for his prison guards. _________________________________________________________________________________ Slave lore showing up as a clue to how very old John Coffey actually is. When John Coffey points out 'Cassie, the Lady in the Rockin' Chair', he's talking about the constellation of Cassiopeia, the boastful queen of Greek mythology who incurred the anger of the Gods for claiming her daughter's beauty surpassed that of the goddesses of Olympus. She was chained to her throne and placed in the heavens forever, the constellation marking a W or M that spins a full circle over the course of the year around Polaris, the North Star. Polaris occurs at the center of the northern hemisphere's night sky, so over the course of the year the rest of the sky appears to turn around it season by season. Cassiopeia sits next to Polaris in a small, easily-identifiable configuration and over the year makes a circuit around the North Star. In slavery times, escaping slaves looked to 'Cassie', whose chair rocked all around the North Star; Cassie helped them identify which star was Polaris and would lead them to safety and freedom in the northern states. But after the Civil War this astronomical knowledge was pretty much irrelevant and forgotten. For John Coffey, who hasn't the best memory, to so vividly recognize Cassie in the sky, she would've had to made a deep impression on him. When you take this and the many scars John Coffey bears, he worked as a plantation slave during his lifetime. In 1935, the Civil War ended over 70 years earlier. I didn't read the source material, but I heard there is mention in it of John Coffey remembering running through the lush greenery of Africa, which argues he was born free, captured, and sold into slavery. Exactly how old he is would still be open to conjecture, but the range is between 150 to some thousands of years old. _________________________________________________________________________________ As I interpret it, John Coffey is a holy being (Stephen King has said his initials are no coincidence). Healing is often a matter of the healer having a concept of how the body functions and how things impact it. What I think is John Coffey's understanding is that God made his creations perfect, and perfection does not break down. But the devil brings temptation and corruption, and that corruption is what leads to disease, suffering, and death. The devil is aided by demons, which are the corrupting element that grows in us and kills our bodies and even our souls. John Coffey sees the corrupting demons as 'flies', and the fierce purity of his sacred being allows him to pull these demons out and release them transmuted into the form of 'flies'. The 'flies' cannot exist outside those they are corrupting, so they quickly disappear back to Hell in puffs of smoke (which I don't doubt smell of sulfur). The effort dims his vitality, but the pureness of his being allows him to regenerate fairly quickly. So, when John Coffey says he 'takes it back', he's speaking of restoring the injury to its God-intended status of health and vitality. For Paul, the healing of his UTI had the side benefit of ramping up his sexual drive; Hallelujah! _________________________________________________________________________________ There's a clue that shows up when Paul goes to see John Coffey's lawyer; that sign warning transients to turn away, that there's no jobs ahead. The Great Depression was a horrific time. Solid stable employment was a lifeline, so essential state or federal government work was as close to a Godsend as you can get. Without it, there was no job, no money, no home, no friends, no help. Families fell apart, alcoholism and drug use was a necessary self-medication to keep going. Without legal options to lift yourself up, illegal ones were required; people prostituted themselves, stole, murdered; it became as dangerous for good citizens as for bad ones. Civilization broke down and people either deepened their spirituality or gave up on it. The farming family were good Christians, providing meals and a dry place to sleep in return for Wild Billy's work; he repaid them by violating and murdering their two daughters. If the father learned he had allowed this monster into their home, he'd have been destroyed by grief. Likely his wife would've blamed him. He would turn to drink, the farm would fail, the wife and son would leave, she and the son would get separated by circumstance. With their faith destroyed, their farm lost, and their family broken, no good would come of them knowing the truth. Better to let it be, where there was an acceptable explanation and closure that unites them as a family. _________________________________________________________________________________ During Del's execution, John Coffey was so caught up in trying to handle Del's suffering, his power spilled over into Mr Jingles. John was reaching his power over to Del; he also reached it out to Paul so Paul could share John's vision received from Wild Billy as to what he did to the girls. When John is doing a healing, he's drawing the corruption out of people. He removes the corrupting force and restores the health and vitality burdened beneath the corruption. So, it's a directional power. Mr Jingles had the corruption of death drawn out of him and the smoldering ember of life fanned back into blaze, but did get extended life at that point. But when John was working hard to send healing to Del burning in the electric chair, some of that power spilled into Mr Jingles in his hands. If Mr Jingles had not been in John's hands, he would not have received extended life.

Man, when I saw her crying in the first five minutes, I was like, this is going to be a long three hours. Lol.😂

Maybe John had to put part of himself into Mr. Jingles because the mouse was actually dead, not sick. And I think he gave part of himself on purpose to Tom Hanks at the very end when he took his hand & spoke w/him telepathically. Just my thoughts. 😊

[@Yessirski91]

It’s funny you compared Mr. Jingles to Air Bud considering the guy that played Del also played the clown that originally owned Air Bud

[@momD612]

One of the greatest movies of all time. ❤❤

[@KhiryTv90]

Yes the movie is called Mouse Hunt from 1997

[@mauriosilva9867]

the drums while the guards are walking to the padded rooms reminded me of the movie Major Payne You go to see that movie next lol its funny and super good

[@gmunden1]

The film, just like the book, has a lot of religious symbolism throughout. When Paul visits the defense attorney for John Coffey (JC), the attorney says there are no records on the prisoner or criminal history. Before he was arrested "He didn't exist." "It's as if he fell from the sky." The beam of light from the cathedral-like windows over the guards desk, John warning the guards when the new prisoner arrives. John recognizing the constellations in the night sky. Darkness to John symbolizes disease, death and evil.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="876">14:36</a> that was "Mouse Hunt" I love that movie!

[@BM-hb2mr]

Cofey felt it through Dale's mouse because Dale loved that mouse. Remember what cofey said about he kild them with they love. Dale loved that mouse and codey felt his pain through Mr Jingles

[@aleatharhea]

He didn't hammer a screw; some nails - framing nails? roofing nails? - have ridges to make 'em grip better. I'm not sure if that's an anachronism here, though.

[@franktriggs]

The mouse and Paul had long lives because John Coffey gave a part of himself to them, life to the mouse, and a part of him so Paul could see what Wild Bill did, whereas with Melinda, he took sickness from her instead of giving a part of himself. That's the way I see it.

[@Ericthelogos]

Imagine having an infection in the 1930s. There is no antibiotics.

[@filippironet9231]

Antibiotics were discovered by Fleming in 1928, but weren't publicised until 1941. Imagine how many people could have been helped in those 13 years.

[@ladyleatherlace4750]

We don't know when Melinda died, or if she'd died by the time he's telling the story. She's quite likely still alive due to having been healed by John Coffey. Paul, (Tom Hanks) said he had to see his wife (Jan ), his son, and all his friends die. Great reaction guys!

[@kwadwotuffour5529]

Lol, she said she thought the outhouses were 'witch huts'. Made me laugh out loud.

[@stevenward2408]

Paul is living an extended life because John consciously gave him part of himself. John needed to do this so Paul could see what Wild Bill had done. Being healed by John earlier had nothing to do with Paul living an extended life. Melinda lived a normal life. Mr. Jingles is living an extended life by total accident. John was holding Mr. Jingles when Del was being executed and John is empathic so he felt all the pain Del was feeling. Somehow all that pain John felt caused a part of himself to flow into Mr. Jingles.

[@88happiness]

Tom Hanks - I recommend 1) The Terminal and 2) A Man Called Otto

[@CinWin516]

...and Larry Crowne...and A League of Their Own...and Catch Me If You Can...and Big...and...😁

[@jamedraa8472]

Glad you're watching this! I hope you'll consider MISERY & DELORES CLAIBORNE. Both are based on Stephen King novels starring Kathy Bates.

I present Percy, the criminal in front of the bars. A malicious person, sadist, animal torturer, murderer in waiting, coward of the highest order, psychopath and sociopath, etc. He got into this position through the "kind" help of his relatives, even though he doesn't even have the ability to cut weeds. What harm would such a "top product" do in a department for mentally ill people who don't believe that the employee is torturing them in every way possible? A top product of Homo sapiens. "Dear" Percy, I would like to invite someone like you to my dojo. You're a tough guy and you can do something. Just a note, sometimes I don't hear that well, especially with people like you I don't hear the tapping or the final bell. But you're not sensitive. You showed that.
