NOBODY could have been a better John Coffey. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. You will be making us cry forever

First things first! I really respect and admire the way you love and respect your Wife. In these days and times, it would be fantastic if all Men would follow your lead. Great reaction as always. ❤

Ohhh no. I’m 4 minutes in and Mrs crying at an old person talking a walk. We going on a ride

It’s a real heartbreaker this one. I always love when Brutal tells John “feel what we feel, we don’t hate you.”

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.

I know I'm repeating myself, but it has to be said again. The way you guys edit these reactions is some of the best I've ever seen. The clips you include makes it feel like I'm watching the movie all over again. Really outstanding work, I wish other reactors would follow your lead.

Melinda wasn't given John's powers. He used his powers to remove the tumor from her, but didn't transfer his own. When Del was going through the chair John felt was he was feeling. He unintentionally transferred his power to Mr. Jingles. Only Mr. Jingles and Hanks' character were "infected" with life.

Once I realized John Coffey’s initials are JC and the parallels with the Christ story. A truly good person, miracle worker, healer, willingly walking to his death for the sins of others. Made this movie hit so much harder. Such a masterpiece and one of my favorite movies of all time. 👍🏻 Loved your reaction

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.

I've seen this movie probably 50 times and I still cry every time. Read the book, knew what to expect, and still blubbered like a baby upon seeing the film for the first time. It's so impactful.

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan our gentle giant! 😢

I LOVE the movie Mouse Hunt. No CGI, just dozens of trained mice for each of the different things the little guy had to do. Wonderful film.

I've seen a lot of KZfaq reactions and I appreciate you showing so much of the movie others cut 😊

"That man could be Tom Hanks' dad!" - Mrs. October unknowingly giving props to the casting people.

Out of all the reviewers on KZfaq You guys show the most of this movie😮 👍

Great editing, one of the best, you kept the best parts. Great reaction too 😢

There was a reason John wanted to shake hands. A handshake tells a lot about a man, especially when you’re John Coffey. I’ve seen this movie a dozen times and I still cry and you guys crying didn’t help! lol

This movie.. storyline..does encourage discussion about theology..society..and interpersonal relationships...however you said you didn't want this to become those types of discussions.. I'll just say you both have beautiful hearts and pray you keep the gift of wonder at the world God has given us all...may you have many many blessings... 🌿🌿🌿

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

i scribed right up, seen a couple of your reactions, i like the format, i like how you dont distort or mirror the video, i like how you have good balance of volume between the film and your mic/mics, i like how you give ample time and dont chop so much out, i refuse to watch any reactions that are only a half hour, for a two hour movie, and so forth, i love the way you do it, i know you have to avoid copyright stuff, but you guys really pull it off well, you put a lot of time and effort into your reactions, so, thank you for that.

Im a simple guy. I see an incredible young couple react to a classic movie i click on it. Itll hurt but its a beautiful movie.

Mrs October, to help with your question about Mr Jingles vs the Warden’s wife. Mr. Jingles was not “infected” with the power when he was healed just as the warden’s wife wasn’t nor Paul for that matter when his infection was healed. It happened when Del was being electrocuted as Coffey explains that’s when he accidentally infected Mr Jingles and for Paul he had to infect him so he could see the visions himself. No such “infection” took place with the warden’s wife. Hope that helps. Loved your reactions by the way.

This and Shawshank are just amazing top-notch films, incredible.

The director of this (Frank Darabont) also directed The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist. He went on to develop The Walking Dead for TV. Not too shabby imo.

I have seen many reactions but you two take the cake. Reaction and editing were fantastic

For the record, Bitterbuck killed a man in a bar fight over a pair of boots. Delacroix, raped and killed a young girl, then tried to burn up her body which caught an apartment building on fire which killed 6 others including 2 children.

Ty for a true emotional reaction, y'all didn't hold anything back, it's rare to see that with people who do reaction videos.

I expect to cry during this movie, even when watching reactions on KZfaq. What I didn't expect is to be crying , even as I write this, seeing how much you both love one another. Thanks for sharing .....

This movie is iconic. I'm glad you guys reacted to this. I wish you the best on your channel and i'm glad I subscribed to you guys

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.

Its sad....but one of the best movies ever made. thank you for watching it. I love you guys.

I read the book many, many moons ago. Bitterbuck (The Native American) unalived someone in a bar fight and Del (The French Cajan) SA'd a woman, unalived her and tried to burn her body to cover up his crime. The fire he set wound up spreading out of control and unalived several other people.

You two are so sweet. One time I got emotional over a book me and my man were reading. I was all choked up like "no! I'm not crying. I'm not" He was like "get yourself together." 😄🤣😂🤣😂

Harry Dean Stanton's character isn't a death row inmate. He is a trusty, an inmate who is trusted with some responsibility, like serving as the subject in an execution rehearsal. Stanton has been in a lot of movies, including "Alien" and "The Avengers."

In the 1990s the electric chair was still used in Florida and a man caught on fire, like Del. There were people including the then-governor who wanted to keep the chair as a method of execution. We as a society are supposed to be better than that. We don’t torture. My objection to the death penalty is not just that it turns us into killers, but that juries make mistakes. Imagine how many people who were wrongly convicted, especially in the Jim Crow south, went to their deaths because a jury got it wrong.

John Coffey initials are J.C. -- he's a healer, an empath/omniscient, he has scars all over, and he willingly went to his execution for a crime he didn't commit. Stephen King the atheist sure has a wild imagination for writing books!

I'm from Canada and we've never had the death penalty during the time I've been alive. When I was about 8 I watched Dead Man Walking with my mother - a nun (Susan Sarrandon) forms a friendship with a convict (Sean Penn) on death row. I had nightmares afterwards, I couldn't believe the government could just kill people. I'm still very much against death penalty now at 36 years old. We're doing just fine without it here - in fact crime rates are lower than in the US. Wrongly convicted people can and do get killed by the state. It's just not a risk I'm willing to take. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. I believe in rehabilitation for a large majority of criminals.

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

I've watched this movie in its entirety so many times, I don't cry anymore. But lawd...y'all almost did me in. I don't think I've seen this much emotion from the Mr. This movie sure as hell warrants it, though.

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.

This strolls casually into my top 5 films. For me it's about as perfect as a movie can get. The casting is top tier, even Percy - he makes you hate him so well. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Many thanks to Mrs. and Mr. October! 🐁 It's one of the all-time greats... probably due in no small part to director Frank Darabont who you'll remember from his direction of another all-time great, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994). I'm glad you know the source material is by Stephen King. I'm so grateful to have seen it on the big screen.

Del's death hits a bit different when you know what his crime was. Some would say it was karmic that he died by fire.

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.

This movie breaks me emotionally every time I watch it. Like, ugly crying. No shame, because it's a damn masterpiece.

My favorite show with Michael Clark Duncan is The Finder. It shows a broad range of his talent, from suppressed rage to tenderness and fatherly love. His smile is perfection 😊

Excellent movie reaction. What makes great art great is, as The Octobers' reactions indicate, great art awakens the humanity in its viewers.

I’ve never seen anyone cry so early on in this movie. You have a beautiful soul. ❤

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.

Mrs. October makes me want to cry every time I see her cry. 😢

I love that you just outed your grandmother for stealing from the salvation army LOL

I love how you two are together 💕 it makes me so happy to see.

I’m so happy for the length of this video and loved the genuine reactions 💚 Thank you so much!

Mr October's stock just went up in my book. A guy his age singing along with Billie Holliday?!?!?! Nice.

I was a correctional officer for six years. I never delt with death row, but I still tried to model the way I delt with inmates was like Paul. I treated them like humans instead of inmates. A lot of guards didn't.

I never realized how much pissing is a recurring theme. But it’s all right, this movie will always be “number one” in my heart. 😂

The other convicts when given the chance to say their last words said, "I'm sorry for what I do"!. John's last words were, "I'm sorry for what I am"! This said a lot about Mr. John Coffy and how he was different from all the others!

Great reaction guys as I already said 😅This one is for the algorithm ❤

Have to leave a comment here. I really like your energy. You are both looking out for each other! That's really nice to see! 👍🏻 Just wanna mention, don't let this internet thing and the comments that some people leave, change you. They are not worth it! Have a great one! ✌🏻

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”.

All that stuff from John Coffey's lungs, wound up exiting Melisandre's womb, many years later, in another time....another place.

John was terrified with every fiber of his being of the darkness. But he willingly went into the dark to find Melinda and help her.

Wow I forgot all about Mouse Hunt! I only saw it once but it was fun haha. Also, the guy they were rehearsing the chair with wasn’t rehearsing his death, they were just using him to rehearse.

John Coffey practically appeared out of nowhere with no history of his childhood and upbringing. His initials are also JC. The same as another biblical figure who also worked miracles.

This movie hits on many subjects: healthy marriage, friendship, companionship, prejudices, miscarriage of justice, executions, trust, justice/injustice and so on. That's why we are emotionally exhausted at the end of the movie.

Man i really like your guys editing analysis , thoughtfulness - this was really good. I usually skip around in reactions but i watched this whole thing front to end. You really nailed it all the way throughout too , bang up job ! New sub

my favorite movie ......even now 25years later

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.

Tom Hanks and Gary Gary Alan Sinise are really good friends, Tom often has a role for Gary in his films, hence Lieutenant Dan.

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.

48:08 You're a good man, Mr. October. Letting the Mrs. lean on your shoulder. That's rare these days. Hold on to that.

Mr. October!!!! It is so commendable how you are connected to the Mrs! I wish you guys a couple of forevers!

This movie always gives me One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest vibes . You really should check that one out

Hey city folk, he did not hammer a screw. It's a ring shank nail that cant back out.

That's a trustee they used when rehearsing the execution...not someone from death row... 🌿🌿🌿

48:02 - 48:09 , 58:32 - 58:37 , 1:18:56 - 1:19:00, and 1:21:30 This is why I love watching you two. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Just warms my heart. 🥰

Mrs October already crying 6 minutes in😂😂😂

This is a great movie, the way he was comforting them as they led him to his execution kills me every time. RIP MCD, you are missed. Armageddon is my favorite movie with him, it's an all star cast and a must see movie.

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 KZfaq, 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.

LOL....I'm loving Mrs. O doing her "Vanna White" impression on the intro.

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 ❤

Remember, John Coffey was scared of the dark, but had to go into the dark to heal. He willingly went into the dark to help others, and what he saw there is probably why he was so scared.

Love this one; I knew it was going to hit with you guys especially. One of the best movies ever, IMHO. Thanks so much for sharing your reaction :)

Hes screaming cause he didnt find them in time to take what happened to them back.with hie healing power.

Man, the moment percy stepped on the rat, i don't know if i've ever hated someone more in my life

I totally understand I was bawling myself . Del and Johns execution tore me up.

-"why do you have so many scars?" - "don't hardly remember, ma'am" "maybe it's all the times he healed people" "what if it's because he's an angel" well the movie never outright says it, but he seems to have "fallen out of the sky" one day, with little to no memories, covered in scars, with the ability to heal disease and resurrect the dead, and his initials are J.C.

Watching this movie with you guys, was like watching this movie for the first time. You made me go thru every feeling with you guys. Amazing!

"She's on death row too..." Never even thought of that connection before.

What Del did was this: He was a pyromaniac. He torched a school at night, thinking there would be no one there. Unfortunately there was a teachers meeting that night and he burned them alive. He didn't mean to kill anybody, but that is what happened.

I've watched this so many times that at this point it makes me laugh to notice the scene cuts with the mouse & later with percy and the differences in the way Percy's mouth was taped when he was put in solitary for the night XD

34:37 LMAO.... Mr. O....The subtlety of that comment was sooooo funny!

One of the greatest movies of all time

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

Stephen King also wrote "misery" & "delores claiborne" both starring Cathy Bates. A little known movie he also wrote was "a good marriage" about a woman that realizes her perfect husband is a serial killer. Great movie.

I am in tears every time I watch this😢 loved both your reactions and will say what a lovely couple you are!

"He's so annoying!" Oh, you're going to hate him even more by the end of the movie. LOL

A pleasant surprise to see you two reacting to this. Eating my dinner as I watch now. Your 'Alcatraz' book looks great too. I like the colors.

The only other Michael Duncan Clark movie I can think of is Armageddon. He died young, well early in his career anyway.
