This is Kacee's first time watching reaction to the movie The Green Mile (1999). Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) walked the mile with a variety of cons. He had never encountered someone like John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a massive black man convicted of brutally killing a pair of young sisters. Coffey had the size and strength to kill anyone, but not the demeanor. Beyond his simple, naive nature and a deathly fear of the dark, Coffey seemed to possess a prodigious, supernatural gift. Paul began to question whether Coffey was truly guilty of murdering the two girls.

30noir Del got drunk and sexually assaulted a girl. To cover up his crime he killed her and then burned the body. The fire spread to a nearby building. I think it was an apartment building with multiple families and children. So he didn't really mean to kill most of his victims, but there was still the first one that he did mean to, although when he was drunk. By the way the first guy who was executed, Bitterbuck, killed a man in a dispute over a pair of boots. I think he was drunk too.

This movie means so much to me, not only for the message but because of how I saw it. I was 10 years old watching this alone at night in the living room. My bedtime was stricly 9pm and I was halfway through the movie at 10. My mom came in obviously angry I was up and when I told her I was watching The Green Mile she stopped for a moment, looked at the screen and said, "Go to bed when this goes off." That blew my mind and made me wonder how this movie was so powerful that my strict mother bent the rules just so I could finish watching and every moment was worth it. I have my criticisms of Stephen King, but the movies and their production bring a whole new experience

This movie is a masterpiece. Tom Hanks was terrific, but Michael Clarke Duncan was phenomenal. The fact that he didn't win an Oscar for this is absolute BS. The entire cast was great -- even the actor playing Percy (he was great at being someone you couldn't stand). I love that you went into this without knowing any of the more supernatural elements to it because it really changes the tone of the movie and is such a surprise when it first happens. Wonderful choice for a movie to react to.

You have to give respect though to Michael Caine. When he won the award for Cider House Rules (which he is also magnificent in), he even shared his admiration and respect to his fellow noms, including MCD and Haley Joel Osment for Sixth Sense: "...thinking of how the Academy changed "The winner is..." to "The Oscar goes to...". And if ever there was a category where the Oscar goes to someone without there being a winner, it's this one. Because I do not feel like being the winner. You have Michael, who I'd never heard of quite frankly, who is astonishing. You have Jude [Law], who is going to be a big star no matter what happens. You have Tom [Cruise], who if you had won this your pot price would have gone down so fast. Have you any idea what supporting actors get paid? And we only get one motorhome, a small one. And Haley Osment, what an astonishing... where is he? There he is. Haley, when I saw you I thought, well that's me out of it. So really, I'm basically up here, guys, to represent you as what I hope you will all be, a survivor."

You're the first one to pick up that John may have been much older than he appeared too. In one scene, you can see he has scars on his body, vaguely hinting that he may have been part of slavery some 90 years prior. Paul showed age because only part of the power spilled into him. This was the kindness John was talking about. He may very well be immortal to natural cause like aging and disease, but he can't kill himself out of his faith to god. Paul freed John.

The doctor still gave me sulphates alongside antibiotics 10+ years ago. Threw 'em up though, even when I staggered when I took 'em. The doctor had to give me something else. After that it was gone pretty fast. Tip for UTIs : instead of searching for pure cranberry juice (pricey and mostly water) make a smoothie out of jellied cranberry sauce, ice and water in the blender! One can will make 2 or 3 depending on how much or how strong you want. You don't need sugar because it's already sweetened. Much more economical, too.🤪😜❤

Thats just an hypothesis though. A lot of different type of powers exists in Stephen King's universe, and not all of them are the shining. So is John a shiner ? That's only for King to say.

Stephen King added his own elements to this, but it was actually inspired by the real life execution of George Stinney Jr. A 14 yr old executed for killing 2 white girls in South Carolina in 1944. 1000 people crowded a courtroom to watch a jury deliberate for 10 mins, after appointing a tax attorney running for office to defend him. His family was run out of town so they were never allowed to see him. On the day of his execution he was too small for the chair so they had him sit on a Bible. The case was reopened in 2004 and John Stinney's murder conviction was vacated in 2014.

Del's final moments are just so horrible. He was a convicted murderer and by every metric he deserved the chair. Del was not a good person, he raped and murdered a young woman and when he tried to burn her body he accidentaly burned down a house and killed 6 more people. The man was gonna pay for his crimes with his life and no matter the horror he commited, just like every single human being he also deserved a moment of kindness in his final moments. His last desperate hope was that his little mouse friend would bring some joy to people and in some small way try and recompense for the evil that he had commited. Paui and Brutal had the kindness and compassion to grant this dying man a last happy thought to go out with. Percy's stepping on that dying mans last moments is just so heartbreaking and sad, on top of that Percys sadistic idea of not wettting the spunge. The worst part is Percy didnt even do it for the woman that had been raped and murdered or the families that had been destroyed. Percy did it because he got made fun of for pissing himself. Doug Hutchison did such an amazing job at making you hate Percy, just fantastic acting from him!

Plus, John Coffey according to Stephen King is reference to another JC. Coffey choose his fate because he was too tired! Paul (Hanks) is like Pontius Pilate let sacrifice of Lord's Angels as Pilate washed his hands of the execution. Paul asked Coffey wanted to do like escape, but Coffey balked the idea.

Apparently John Coffey's character is loosely based off a popular character from another famous book! They're both similar in that they share the same initials, and perform miracles like heal the sick and wake the dead. Both are also empaths and feel other's pain. They were both accused of being something they aren't and eventually executed. What's amazing is that this story is being told...according to Paul (Hank's character).

I hadn't watched this movie in years and just starting watching reactions on it yesterday. I guess I changed because the intensity of the movie was so much more. Watching it with someone who had never seen it before certainly makes a difference and sort of verifies that what I feel was real. Great reaction. Though I wish you had included the scene when he was healed and was looking at his wife. That was priceless!

One of the greatest movies! In the novel, it's explained that Arlen Bitterbuck (the older Native American man who's executed first in the film) killed a man over a pair of shoes and Del was an arsonist, murderer, and rapist. Hence why they were on Death Row.

I saw a Behind the Scenes video on this movie, and Doug Hutchison offered $20 to anybody who could recite his lines during the Del crucifixion scene verbatim. He said he lost $60. Then he found out they were just reading them off cue cards that were behind Hutchison's back. The actresses who played the two girls liked Sam Rockwell (Wild Bill) so much that they kept giggling when they filmed the scene where he threatened to kill them.

I remember being about 17 and the shop opposite work sold books and one caught my eye. The green mile but it came in a series of books, each one a different colour. Many years later, I bought the compilation. King explains at the beginning that he wanted to write it as Charles Dickens used to write his novels. I'll tell you this, it is extremely hard to read it with tears flowing. It is also the first movie from a book that I've seen that actually follows it almost perfectly.

I think the final shot is the death of Mr Jingles. Which leaves Paul now completely alone and sets a timetable for his death. In a movie the spends a lot of time dwelling on death it would seem most fitting to end it with one. I love this movie so damn much and the final scene makes me cry every time.

Extrapolating from Mr Jingles and how much longer his lifespan has been than normal (well over 80 years, vs the 2-3 year lifespan a normal field mouse would have), Paul's looking at a lifespan of well over 2000 years...his Green Mile will be long indeed. Sounds amazing until you really think about it, as his body is still aging and deteriorating, and everyone he comes to know and care about will die off around him while he endures...then it becomes a horror story, a subtle horror of existential dread instead of jumpscares, but horror none-the-less. This, Misery, and The Shining are probably the best of the film adaptations of Stephen Kings writings.

Hi Kacee!🙂I've seen this as a no cry challenge with a few reactors. This film takes place in 1932, where black people were convicted with far less evidence than John was, unfortunately. I never thought about John being older than he seemed. Maybe that's why he is tired and wanted it to end. Believe it or not, there is another prison film written by Stephen King and directed by Frank Darabont, the same director of this film. It is "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994). It is a very highly rated film with a 9.3 on IMDb. Great job reacting to this highly emotional film on your own, Kacee!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yeah. Frank Darabont wrote and directed both this and Shawshank (also adapted from Stephen King, a novella from Different Seasons). He also did The Mist and has or had been trying to get an adaptation of King's The Long Walk (published under the Richard Bachman pseudonym) for a long time... Perhaps controversially, I love Green Mile a bit more than Shawshank, though not denying that Shawshank is still a god-tier film itself...

Great Reaction....... Michael Clarke Duncan (John Coffey) is the same height as Tom Hanks and David Morse, they created the height differences with camera angles and having MCD stand on planks//risers, even had Tom Hanks stand/walk in a trench for some scenes...... The book is set in 1932, but since the Director wanted to include the Footage from the Movie "Tophat," which did not come out until 1935, they changed the year in the movie. This a "Shawshank Redemption" were both Written by Stephen King and made by the same Director.
