Mary: "Percy can't go any lower" Percy: "Hold my sponge !"

I realized that John did a service to the family of the little girls by letting them think that he was the one who killed the little girls so that they don't realize that they welcomed the killer into their home and feel the guilt of that.

I have watched the movie dozens of times. I have cried every single time without fail. I even cry during reactions. It's an amazing movie. RIP Michael Clark Duncan

"Is he Jesus?" The character John Coffey's initials are relevant.

RIP, Michael Clarke Duncan. You were loved. You are loved.🙏❤️

Her "YES!" when Percy got punched after the botched execution was PRICELSS and on POINT!

You know a villain is top teir when you physically feel real hatred toward them, and I have never truly HATED a fictional character as much as I hate Percy Wetmore. Fantastic writing and performance.

Mary at the beginning of the movie: 'Imagine if this movie is crap' Mary at the end of the movie: Literally drained after crying so much. This is one of the most touching movies I have ever watched, it gets me every time. I hope Mary gets some much needed sleep after this one :)

I've watched the movie a lot... I can't even say a number of times... but every time... I cry, every time... I feel the pain. The actors are so good at their roles.. it's unbelievable.

lmaoo 🤣 Mary screaming “YES!” at Percy getting punched was the most aggressive I’ve seen her

The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan didn't win the Oscar for this for best supporting actor is a joke.

Michael Clarke Duncan was robbed of the academy award for this one. Michael Caine was great in Cider House Rules for sure, but Michael’s performance was one of the most iconic and definitive displays of acting that has ever graced the screen. 22 years later, and nobody remembers Cider House Rules, but everybody remembers the gentle giant of The Green Mile. It such a shame he never really got the recognition he deserved even though he was easily the most memorable part of practically every project he touched.

Yes, I cried a lot during your reaction. Old Paul is the character actor Dabbs Greer. He was in lots of TV shows and movies during his career. He was a scene stealer in everything I've seen him in, a very good and memorable actor.

One of the best movies ever made. The filming the camera angles the lighting the color grade and the acting from every character was just so on point. Definitely makes me tear up at the end every time

Your reaction to when John says, "I'm tired of people being ugly to each other." is just the most heart wrenching one I've ever seen among reactions to this film on KZfaq. You clearly have a hug heart.

Coffey may be much older than he appears, given the longevity he gave to Paul & Mr Jingles. He has scars on his body when he rolls over, suggesting he may have been around during slavery in the 1800s.

I watched this movie in a theatre with a bunch of hormone-raging young adults yelling and having a good time. In the end, there was dead silence and you could hear a pin drop. It's one of only 2 times that I personally experienced a movie emotionally affecting an entire theatre. The other movie was "The Color Purple" which you must eventually watch.

Not only did I cry when I watched this movie, Mary, I cried watching you cry watching and reacting to this wondrous piece of cinema! A legendary film and a legendary reaction! You're a classic!

If you didn't cry watching this movie, then you aren't human. I don't know of anyone who has watched this movie and didn't get to the end emotionally destroyed and with red eyes. It is perhaps one of the very few movies I would consider to be perfect and without any criticisms whatsoever. Even the actor who plays Percy, you want to hate him so much, and that's precisely what he was supposed to evoke from the audience. They all did their parts brilliantly, and I hold the movie dear to me. I can't even watch a person react to this movie without tearing up again. :) Thank you for your wonderful reaction, Mary!

The movie was "Top Hat" (1935), co-starring Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. This is an excellent musical. The song in the film is "Cheek to Cheek".

Don't apologize for having trouble finding words after this, you're reaction spoke volumes. A beautiful reaction to a beautiful film, a true masterpiece. Soak it all in then find something to de-stress with. Get over the grief but not the sentiment of John Coffey. It's a necessary reminder that there is a lot of evil in this world, we have to watch for it and help each other through it. I think this is the best reaction I have seen you do. You truly let your guard down and experienced the fullness of the emotional swings in this one. Great job.

I am a senior citizen now. "We all owe a death. There are no exceptions." means a great deal to me these days. It's best to try not to fear death. Just try to live your best life, and hope that those around you, who pass away, have lived theirs. Years ago, when my father was dying, at 86 years old, he told me, "I don't want you to be sad, Eric. I've had a good life." Those words always meant everything to me, and this movie reminds me of that. I've seen The Green Mile a dozen times, and I watch every reaction video to it also. I cry every time. Thanks, Mary, you're the best!

This movie is so simple... yet it's one of the most powerful movies ever. I cried so hard when I watched this, and I cry every time I just watch someone react to it. I feel like there are two parts that would make a good baseline test for potential friends if this movie came up in a discussion. 1: "Did you hate Percy?" and 2: "Did you cry at the end?" If their answer isn't "Yes" to both I honestly don't know if I could even bother trying to be friends with that person. I just feel like we wouldn't be compatible.

I think everyone shed a tear with this film. A real masterpiece. It was a pleasure to see you react to it and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

Your reaction was perfect, Mary. Thank you for allowing us to cry with you.

"YES!!!, but don't get aggressive" when Percy got hit. It put pride and light heartiness to this movie. You could tell you were angry going into that scene.

The actor who played the old Tom Hank's character did an excellent job !!! He brought the emotions out of everybody at the end !!!! SUPER SUPER job !!!!!!!!!!

I’m a 68 yr. old man and I cry every time I see this movie or reaction. We could use a lot more gentle souls like him in the world.

I cry...every time I see it, just like now. And it broke my heart when Micheal Duncan Clark passed away. Tom Hanks was invited and gave the Eulogy at his funeral.

RIP and long live Michael Jeter (August 26, 1952 - March 30, 2003), aged 50 And RIP and long live Michael Clarke Duncan (December 10, 1957 - September 3, 2012), aged 54 You both will always be remembered as legends.

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this film, or how much I know all the scenes inside out... That scene of John talking about how ugly people can be to each other gets me every single time. I know the scene is coming but every time it makes me catch my breath and then I sob huge tears. This film is amazing.

How fitting this premieres as Mary passes the 50k subscriber mark, so all the more people get to discovery her. I know of nobody who doesn't cry during this movie. Duncan should have gotten an award.

Nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture.

Beautiful reaction. Seeing people react to this movie is so touching and restores my faith in humanity. I've watched this at least 20 times and shed tears every single damn time.... It's just so good and so bittersweet. Knowing Michael Duncan died so young just makes it tug your heart strings even more.

I saw this in the theater without knowing what it was about. It took my by surprise and I definitely did cry. Hard to believe this movie is 22 years old. it feels timeless.

"Is he Jesus or something..." Actually yes, he is. They have the same initials, both cure illness, both raise others from the dead, both are unjustly executed by the state. It's not the main point of the movie but it's more than a coincidence.

We all have our green mile to walk.Some are shorter.Some are longer.

I'm surprised to never see in the comments for this movie how John Coffey is very obviously a Christ-like figure, a Jesus analogue, if you will. Not just because he could heal and perform miracles but, even more importantly, because he is sacrificed while being innocent, as expiation for others and while being hated and misunderstood by many.

Micheal Clark Duncan was a magnificent actor, he played the Angel Giant/John Coffey so amazing. This movie was so heart and gut wrenching...I always cry watching this movie, it's just the injustice and the feeling of helplessness when seeing an innocent man being put to death, not just any man...Gods great gifts. In real life Micheal Clark Duncan was a real gental giant with a pure heart...and a good man. He was 6 foot 9 gental kind hearted loving Giant. The Green Mile movie was his first big movie role and it turned him into a world wide mega movie star. We lost him far too soon and we lost a true legendary Goat. I truly believe he should have Won an Oscar for this extraordinary role....the Green Mile is a true movie master Piece. RIP Micheal Clark Duncan (1957-2012)🎬🎬🎬🌟🌟🌟📺📺📺

The way you pushed yourself away from the mic when Percy did what he did was just... [Chef's kiss] That's the kind of reaction they were hoping for with Percy's character. And boy did the actor hit the nail on the head

I’m a 50 year old man next month, and I cry every time I watch this film and with every reactor. I’ve seen the film dozens of times, and I’ve watched like 5 reactions to this in the past two days and cried every time. 😂 Loved your reaction, btw. You’re quickly becoming one of my new favorite reactors. I appreciate how you recognize and point out the complexities of the situations, characters, moral dilemmas, etc. You keep it real when our heroes are flawed, like V. So, I was trying to think of other films that always make me cry that you would like, and “A League Of Their Own” came to mind. It’s a fun, dramatic comedy based on the true story about the women’s baseball league during WW2, while men’s baseball was shut down. And, coincidentally, it stars Tom Hanks, along with a **ton** of other female actors who you will recognize. Gina Davis, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, Lori Petty (maybe you don’t know her😆). I won’t give away the ending, but those types of endings make me cry every time.

The actor is Graham Greene. He plays the first prisoner to be executed. Greene is an established actor who has an impressive list of film and TV roles. Yes, he was in "Dances with Wolves". Greene is an indigenous actor of Oneida First Nation's peoples. The Stephen King novel gives a more detailed backstory of his character Arlen Bitterbuck and also of Cajun prisoner Eduard Delacroix. You are correct about John Coffey. Stephen King intentionally portrays John as a Christ-like figure. There are several religious symbols in the film: The guards' desk and the large, cathedral-like windows with the bright light flowing over the green mile, the pain he takes from Del during the botched execution, John recognizing the constellations in the night sky, the halo from the film projector light over John's head. The lawyer says there was no evidence of John's existence before his arrest. "It was as if he fell from the sky." The guards were not able to stop Del's execution. It's not that they did not want to.

Michael Clarke Duncan was just a gift, both in this film and in his far too short life. And yes, I can’t watch this film without tears. The entire cast did an excellent job with the material, one of Stephen King’s finer creations (and I say this as a genuine admirer, especially of his Dark Tower novels).

"Yes!...I mean, don't get aggressive..." Wonderful, honest human reaction, Mary, to Percy's being gleefully ugly to Del. ("Percy Wetmore" What an incredibly descriptive character name.) This movie, more than all but a few others, tweaks the emotions of a sensitive viewer back and forth the spectrum from rage to tears, and makes you feel wonderful (and drained) afterwards for allowing those emotions free rein. It draws out our ability to empathize due to its subject matter, its pacing, and the great performances by all involved. This is why you'll find it on nearly every reactor's list of movies. It is also a touchstone for revealing the inmost heart of a sensitive viewer. You are a good person, Mary. Keep up the good work.

What an outstanding movie; an outstanding reaction; and outstanding editing! Great job all around!

"Did you cry when you watched this movie?" - Yes. And I cried when I watched it a second, third and fourth time. Then I cried when this react channel watched it. And that react channel watched it. I cry when I think of this. John Coffee is what every human on the face of the earth dreams of happening and Paul is what ever human on the earth should be. This movie is #2 in my list of movies that make me cry but I will watch it every time anyway.

I cry my eyes out everytime i see the green mile. It's one of the best and sadest movies ever made.

This movie is a wound that never heals. I saw this opening night with my father and the entire audience was crying and on the verge of weeping.

What a beautiful, heartfelt reaction. Your genuine emotions get to me, Mary. Thank you... Oh, and yes, I teared up quite a bit...❤❤

I cried when I read the book. I cried when I saw the movie. I STILL cry when I see the movie. I cry when I see people reacting to the movie on YT. This is a movie that just makes you cry.

I am over 60 and I still cry when I watch this movie, and I cry when I watch someone's reaction video.

Stephen King is a national treasure.

A Masterpiece of a movie and a great reaction as always. Someone in chat had mentioned that Michael Jeter's last movie was Open Range. The scene in the hayloft when he reads Charlie's (Kevin Costner) last will and testament is about as powerful a scene as I've ever seen. Both movies have had me sobbing....

Mary makes phantom punches. The guy punches that bastard. Mary: YES. I mean don't get aggressive. Don't worry, Mary, I will testify before a jury that you only said the last part.

That "YES!" after Howell slugged percy was GREAT! haha

I loved watching this great flicker show with you Mary, another great reaction, Congrats on the 50K subscribers!

25:45 They dont mention what his crime was in the movie, but he was found guilty of raping a young girl, then murdering her, and burning the building to cover up the murders, which ended up killing more people in fire. So....yeah

“I have to go crash and burn.” Perfect statement! I cry every freaking time! Thank you for the wonderful reaction and review. You can rest now.😊

You are the only other person I know that immediately put together John’s dialogue when he said that he ‘took it back’ meaning he was trying to help the little girls. Love your reviews 😎

This movie always makes me tear up and this time was no different. Always enjoy following you down that emotional rabbit hole! Enjoy Croatia!

What else can you say, Mari’s reactions are tops.

36:18 You're the first person I've seen describe the end product of John's power as a sound effect. 🤣 I love it! 🤣🤣🤣

David Morse is, like, so mellow that he exudes comfort through his eyes.

A movie that really moved me when I was about 16 years old, is "Dead Poets Society", it's for me one of the best Robbin Williams movies for me, and this movie changed my life, I highly recommend it, and congratulations on 50,000 subscribers you deserve all the best.Thank you.

Not only did I cry when I first saw it years ago, I now cry watching reactors cry to it here on KZfaq. 🙄

I didn't cry when I watched the movie for the first time. However - with each time I watch the movie I get more emotional.

Your "YES!" when Percy got punched was amazing! You were so excited

Thanks, Mary! 🐁 One of the all-time greatest tales by Stephen King... and the movie was impeccably actualized.

This movie is terrific. Can you believe “The Green Mile” was written by horror genius Stephen King!!! Well, it’s not such a far stretch of belief if you’ve read a lot of his short stories. Anyway, Michael Duncan Clark was so good in this, rest in peace you gentle giant of deep talent. Mary, I truly enjoyed watching you watch this, just as I enjoy all your other reviews, because it’s a welcome reminder that someone living on another Continent a wide Ocean away can be so likable, funny, empathetic, and a downright wonderful human being. If John Coffey felt someone like you out there, maybe he wouldn’t be so tired and downhearted about all the mean ugliness in the world! Anyway, have a great week and thanks for sharing!!!

Yes! I cry EVERYTIME I watch this movie or even a reaction to this movie. This is my all time favorite Tom Hanks film. A masterpiece.

Yes, I have cried every time I have watched it!

Hard not to cry in a movie like this.

I love David Morse! He is one of the most decent and hardworking actors out there!

"YESSS!! ... I mean. Don't get aggressive." Ohh you're so funny! 😂😂❤

I was 19 when this movie came out. I can't remember taking my girlfriend to see this.. But now I'm thinking in retrospect how the entire theaters were during John coffee's last moments. Probably not a single dry eye. Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, teens. This movie gets everyone

I cry every time I watch it. It's such a powerful story, full of magical realism and lessons on human behavior. It is also simultaneously a study in the human need to punish evil actions and the satisfaction that it can bring while also being an indictment of capital punishment. Your tears started when mine do, when John asks to leave the hood off to not be in the dark. You should watch a joyful film like Bringing Up Baby or even Top Hat to recover.

Your reaction was just as I guessed it would be.. Green Mile is a masterpiece of a movie.. you cant help but be affected by it.

Ahh green mile... one of the 3-4 movies that has been able to make an adult me cry... and i have no problem admitting it.

What John pulled out of the Wardens wife was in fact a Demon. It fought so hard that when John finally pulled it out the force of it shook the house off its foundation.

Yes Mary. Everyone cries the first time they see this. Actually, I still cry 50 views later.

Loved your reaction to this movie as it's a great film and actors all played there parts very well.

watching you being so emotional allows me to be as emotional as you. I come from a family environment where we are not allowed to show emotions . I am working in meinself and watching you is a bless ... thanks!

This is a true experience. And it leaves you reflecting, thinking, long after you watch. Its very, very high on my list of excellence.

I like that guys taste in women. Mae West, the man appreciates a funny women.

What I really enjoy about this film and it's affect on reactors is the moment they realize that "OH YEAH , This is a Stephen King adaptation" ... The scene where John heals Paul always makes for outstanding reactions. 👍 ❤ 🎥

I worked with Michael Clarke Duncun on Talladega Nights and he was the nicest guy who spent so much time talking with us and calling out Greg German for making us wait while he rode his bike around set lol! I also used to walk the path at the house he's at in the beginning. I worked with Barry Pepper on 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story.

“A big man is ripping your ears off Percy, I’d do what he says”… my favorite line

Mary: "What's going on?" Stephen King is going on.... Very fine movie - one of the best. KING and DARABONT (that made "The Shawshank Redemption" together). Top class acting across the board, RIP MC Duncan, I think St Cristopher led you right. Thanks for finally reacting Mary! And yes, of course I cried, all people with empathy do... So you are not alone.

i'm going to watch this tonight for sure... but ever going to watch serenity? you're going to emotionally forget everything that happened in firefly!

Perfect movie. Perfect reaction. Just perfect. Thank you.

If you DON'T cry, then you have no heart...it's impossible to not cry watching this movie...

Great reaction, Mary. Love all your reactions. :-)

Thank you, Mary, for your emotional reaction to this very emotional movie. A suggestion for a new movie reaction: "A Fish Called Wanda" 1988, crime comedy with John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Palin, Kevin Kline

Hah! Did I cry? Every single time, of course. In the theater, on video, and in reactions. Every time.

One of the best things about this movie is that it only allows you to hate two people on death row - Percy and Billy.

Your reaction to this was everything I expected. 🙂 But I don't think you really expressed how you felt about Percy 😂😂😂 it was a pleasure watching how you reacted to he movie.

That was a beautiful reaction Mary. I think you'd truly enjoy the movie 'Amadeus' from 1984. It's an excellent film and would be such a great one to watch you react to. ✌🏻🙂

Mary: "Did you cry when you watched this movie?" Saboteur: "I'm crying now."

One thing that has always stuck with me is a line by Mercedes Lackey in "Black Gryphon". "Who heals the healer?"

17:42 Hmmm... John Coffey. Jesus Christ. JC?
