They used pallets for John to walk on, making him seem taller. They used 15 different mice, each trained to do a specific thing.

King and Frank Darabont (director), did The Shawshank Redemption. Great team! Jeffrey DeMunn (guard Harry (piss on me?) , played the DA at Andy's trial in Shawshank. William Sadler (father of the dead girls), portrayed "Heywood". Tremendous casts in both films. Thanks again Jhyad!

My day was just fine, hope yours was as well. This movie is an adaptation of a Steven King novel. The novel was actually released in sections instead of all at once. The idea was to release it like old Charles Dickens novels were released and other things of the time. Paper was expensive and publishing was more difficult in those times. Entertainment such as books were considered very special so when a new edition was released it was a big deal. King did something similar with this. I can't remember the name of his the friend that suggested it to him but it wasn't exactly his idea. In any case the book is brilliant and the movie is fairly faithful to the source material with a few exceptions which isn't uncommon in making the jump from page to screen. That said the differences don't take away from the story and both things are well worth the time you put into consuming the story. Michael Clark Duncan was huge but he wasn't near as tall as John Coffey the character. Duncan was in many movies and never failed to make an impact while on screen even while doing silly movies like Talladega Nights and one my family absolutely loves called See Spot Run where he plays an FBI dog handler.

Wild Bill was a predator, and on short acquaintance could hide it. He was only on the farm for two or three days. He didn't go back to kill the girls for nearly a month. So nobody had any reason to think of him being the killer. It's not even we something he planned in advance, necessarily, he just found himself back in the area again, remembered his resentment for the farmer, and went from there. I know it's scary to think someone like Billy could be around you and your loved ones, so you tell yourself you'd be able to spot them. But I tend to think of them as much as a natural disaster as a tornado. Think of all of the things that have to go wrong in precislely the way it does at the exact stage of their development to make them, and all the circumstances that put you in their path. And then how randomly they decide whether or not they will act against you and what form it will take. Bill wasn't local and background checks weren't a thing, unless the cops tried calling where they believed someone was from. And that was expensive. They only made calls like that after they arrested someone, if at all. You may as well say you'd do something different so a tornado can't hit your house.

How did you figure this movie out in the first 10 minutes?!?!

[@Jhyad]

It was really just a guess based off what little was shown.

[@margiewilliams537]

Yes Stephen King wrote both and they were both directed by Frank Darabont

[@damonmilline9227]

John is every good and moral black man in America. P.S. An if John lawyer wasn't so immoral maybe John might have healed his son. Michael should have won an Oscar for playing John Coffey! Oh and there is a story about a Roman soldier who helped kill Jesus was cursed to live until Judgement Day too.

Top 10 favorite movies😢

[@thejthanner]

the Mist, Pet Semetary, and Storm of the Century by Stephen King should also be on your radar.

[@RonPaul-v8j]

He actually already did pet semetary

[@RonPaul-v8j]

[@rosepianom1]

Its death row in the united states in Louisiana, they all have guns lol

[@MKF30]

Great reaction dude, enjoying it right now! This is a very, very sad movie. Awesome though!

[@williamjones6031]

1. Most people 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 South.) 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 (MCD) 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. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part. 7. Movie magic Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene. 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 playing Percy. EVERYONE hates him.🤬🤬 10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge. 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan. They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look taller. 12 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. 13. Now we know what the "cold is best" dry toast is for. 14 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced. the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. (GOAT)🤩 15. Four words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!

[@d.-_-.b]

1 & 14 never happened, not even once. Do you even watch the reaction before pasting this list?

[@williamjones6031]

@@d.-_-.b Every single one. 99% cry, good enough for you?
