💚BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY💚 Exodus 14:13 13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.

The heaviest part for me is when Tom Hanks says "may God have mercy on your soul" at John's execution, and you know he's saying it for himself.

26:11 "I'm TIRED of people being UGLY to each other..." Wow...that one hit hard. After the last few years of anger, political outrage & injustice, I don't think there's a more truthful sentiment.

We lost Michael Clarke Duncan so early. That guy was amazing, even his comedic roles, like Talladega nights and Slammin' Salmon were amazing. Whether it was comedy or drama, the guy showed up, or at least held his own against, some of the biggest names in acting. I guess we're lucky to have the films of his, we have.

Stephen King is such an amazing writer. People just know him from his horror stories, but this and shawshank are some of the best work he ever wrote.

"On the day of my judgement" and "don't put me in the dark" are the hardest parts for me. Thanks for the thoughtful reaction video

You have to remember that a urinary tract infection had no cure in the 1930s (So even going to the doctor probably wouldn't help much). The first antibiotic, penicillin, was only discovered in 1928 and wasn't used on a patient in the U.S. until 1942.

I saw this movie when I was 10 years old one night. I had school the next day I wasn't supposed to be up. When John's death scene came I cried my heart out my dad came in my room and found me sitting in the carpet Infront of my TV and saw what I was watching he just sat down next to me. I still cry on that scene. And I cried with you just now ☺️😭

When the Green Mile was first published, it came out as a series of 6 books in 1996. I happened to be in the US when I discovered them, collected them all and read them during my trip. I've still got them. What is great about this film is that it is so true to the written story (hence the length) and also all of the characterisations were brilliant. The actors seemed to fit their descriptions almost to a tee.

Youre smile is so adorable 😁 Also, you gotta be the first person to sympathize in Percy, even though it was for a moment. Vile man in such an amazing movie 👏

You might hear of Michael Clarke Duncan; he portrays John Coffey. We have to thank Bruce Willis for suggesting Big Mike for the role of John Coffey. Because Big Mike had worked with Bruce on another movie year before The Green Mile called Armageddon. Big Mike was a gentle giant like his character, John Coffey according to his closest friends. Sadly, Big Mike died in 2012. Speaking of Tom Hanks, he spoken eulogy for his friend, Big Mike.

This movie is a rollercoaster of emotions. The characters are fantastic, many build ups and payoffs. Stephen King is my favorite author and this is my favorite film adaptation from one of his stories.

Antibiotics weren't a thing until 1942, and that was the first time it was used in a hospital. You waited out infections. You hoped and prayed you got better. It took time to become popular. Going to the doctor wouldn't have helped. Back then, getting an infection was very dangerous. It killed more people on the battlefield than bullets. Getting wounded got you killed later quite a bit. He was big, but he wasn't that tall. He was walking on milk crates. I thought he was wearing platform shoes, but the actor who played Brutal said in an interview that he was only one inch shorter.

I've seen dozens of people reacting to this movie and I always look forward to the part where John Coffey reveals his powers for the first time by expelling the bugs from his mouth. Everyone pretty much does what you did, by either showing or saying "WTF??!!" Really great movie and one of the best adaptations of a book to a movie I have ever seen. The same director also did two other Stephen King adaptations that are worth watching for sure: The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist.... Stephen King has confirmed that John Coffee's initials, JC, are indeed a reference to Jesus Christ since John is a healer who is persecuted in this world. Trivia: If we take the average lifespan of a mouse (two years) and figure that Mr. Jingles has lived about 32 times that (64 years), then using that math Paul will live beyond the year 4000.

Without a doubt one of my favorite movies of all times, no matter the time that passes I’ll always cry through the movie

You held it together pretty well till the end. A lot of reactors have said this was the best movie they have ever watched, and they would never watch it again. Most people who watch it also say that Percy has to be the most despise and hater character ever created. Love your reaction.

I ugly cry every time I watch this movie. And I just adore the scene where they sneak John out at night and he is reacting like a little child to all the beauty of the world. Ugh! My heart!

This movie is so wholesome and painful and happy and sad and tragic. Especially the ending. One of my favorites. A great showing of so many sides of peoples emoitions, judgements and justifications for horrible actions.

The purity of John's character makes him wanting to die to rid of the pain that evil brings to him makes a person really evaluate the state of things.

Miss, this is the best movie ever made it gives you every feeling in 3 hours!.. And got the best message ever. I'm so sad this never got any Oscars for any lead player or so they deserved that. I'm glad you did this one.

About the books. The movie follows the story pretty well. We learn what Dell did, and it was as bad as what Bill did. The back story about the murder of the girls is deeper. Bill was an itinerant worker. He left the job about a month before the murders. Paul spends a lot of time learning the details of the story. There is some evidence that John didn’t commit the murders but the county sheriff isn’t going to allow it to come to light.

The essence of the sickness, death, darkness is released. Essence

Ah, this story never fails to move or to hurt...it got to you too, staining your shirt with tears and all🥰 I read the book before I saw the film back then. I think it's a pretty faithful adapation, with some excellent performances all around. 😀 'We're all walking the Green Mile'...aye, that we do...❤

He was literally an angel sent down from heaven.

"i feel so sorry for percy" right i thought empathy was supposed to be a strength but clearly there is such a thing as to much empathy

The book is one of my favorites and the movie is extremely faithful to the book. The primary thing left out of the movie are story lines in the old folks home where it goes back and forth between past and present day. One of the workers at the home is very much like Percy and has it in for Paul so there is drama there. I think the line about nurse Godzilla is just a tip of the hat to what is left out.

Oh wow, I would have never thought, this was a very great and emotional movie. I was a freshman in high school when I first saw this. Frank Darabont directed this and if you loved this. You have to watch Shawshank Redemption if you haven’t watched it or reacted to it…

Fantastic reaction. You're very insightful and your knowledge of film craft added depth. It was fun watching with you!

Californiablend: This was one of the better reaction videos I've watched. Excellent job.

John: “There a a lot folks here that hate me” Tom hanks: “feel how we feel then” ❤️

I honestly believe that when Paul says may god have mercy on your soul he wasn’t talkin to John. He honestly believes John was innocent so I believe he was talkin to himself because he felt damned for killing a miracle

Beautiful film which shows that the wrath of man Praises The LORD; HIS LOVE is the Only Thing which DESTROYS EVIL FOREVER. So true in our time; HE is bringing HIS CHILDREN Home to HIM for Eternity. Beautiful reaction, Miss Cal; see you in the KINGDOM. John 3.3, 33-34.

Michael Duncan Clark did deserve the Best Actor Oscar for his performance.

I love how he say tell God the Father it was a good thing by taking him out of his pain and being alone so so long. . It's mercy. And how he says you can't hide what's in your heart. .

They are all so well casts to their parts, all good actors that's why Purcy can make you feel so many ways about him. This is the best movie @ Humanity

A masterpiece but a movie I can only watch once. Another one is the Most also a Steven King book

One of the best movies ever made. 😢 if you don’t feel it, and she’d a tear, check your pulse. 😢Great reaction 😊❤

" I tame me dat mouse"...I have friend's family in Lafayette,LA that still speak that way. Those old Cajuns will go from English to French in a second!

"Was the missus pleased?" "Several times..."

Omh this’s one of my favorite movies!!! Such a nice surprise ✨

Dale was from Lousiana. The Cajun dialect is a mix of English and French. The movie never mentions his crime, don't know about the book. One of the miracles is the fact that considering the time and place John Coffey even lived long enough to stand trial in the first place.

One of the few movies that makes grown men cry, and they aren’t ashamed to admit it.

I wish I could like this so many times. Thanks. Love your reactions.

I remember when I worked at Petsmart as a petcare associate. We had a lil light brown mouse with an eye that leaked all the time. He was considered sick and unsellable. We kept him in the isolation room in a lil habitat. He stayed so long I named em Mr. JINGLES. I grew to care for my lil buddy like Del did with his buddy. And then one day he was gone, my manager had him taken to the Banfield vet inside the store and had him euthanized. I cried like and was very upset, so it was very ironic how things played out. Except my mouse didn't come back.

I was thinking if this movie won't make you shed a tear then no movie will, probably.

This movie is perfect, it show the good, the bad, the dirt and the pure side of the humans Michael Clarke Duncan was perfect here, he may rest in peace as he'll never be forgotten because of his perfect performance on this movie

One of my favorite lines in a movie. "What in the Blue F*CK!!!!???"

Oh no, I saw the title and started crying preemptively!

New subscriber here. You're very perceptive. Your smile is welcome. Good reaction.

Also I love the line "feel how we feel" he also took John's hand right before he said roll on 2 and hearc John say I'm so tired and it like that all over the world

26:00 -- Michael Clarke Duncan got an Oscar nom, in part because of this scene, which was so good, in part because, when Tom Hanks is giving is #1 best performance for the camera for HIS side of that scene, he also gave MCD the same caliber performance. MCD was able to have someone truly great sitting across from him, helping him to make HIS role as great as he could.

Warning to readers: Spoilers in this comment! I know this may be an unpopular opinion but I think the actor who played Percy (I can't recall his name at the moment) should have won an Oscar for his performance. I don't know that I've ever hated another character in any story or film so much. Your reaction was intelligent and charming and I loved it. Not too many folks guess that it was Wild Bill that really killed the little girls as quickly as you did. Also at one point you mentioned something about how "Percy's character actually has some real depth to him." You're right. It took me years to realize that fact (even after reading the books) just how simple as well as a complex character he is all at the same time. I hated him too much to see it, which tells me that I still have some growing up to do myself. Percy at his core is simply a spoiled little boy in an adult's body. He is like a boy who enjoyed burning ants with a magnifying glass that grew up to still enjoy doing the same thing. He could easily have been a serial killer but he was a death row gaurd instead. He was still such a child as an adult that he never learned to walk in the center of the mile instead of close to the cells, even after Wild Bill grabbed him the first time and made him wet himself. He had no business doing this job. And this actor portrayed all those things perfectly...so perfectly, in fact, that I feel as though it harmed his career. To this day, no one can see that man's face without seeing Percy Wetmore. A shame but a truth. The scene where Paul walks up and shakes John's hand at the end hits me in the heart every time. Great reaction. You are so adorable with your laughter and tears too. Well done!

Amazing edit and reaction, well done 🙂

Whenever I see this movie i always sing "Burn baby burn" as Del is being cooked alive.

KJV And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.”

Stephen King is a master man, a legend! Green Mile is definitely top10 in my favorite movies all time.

I clicked for the thumbnail at first but I'm a new subscriber and a big fan ......plus them lips good god

Hey Californiablend, I love many of your reactions, Saving Private Ryan, The Thing, Jaws and now The Green Mile. I really like your attitude. I would love to see you react to Jojo Rabbit. I just saw it a couple of weeks ago and it's now one of my favorite movies of all time. You will laugh and laugh.

It's Impossible not to cry with this movie

Not to take anything away from Michal Clark Duncan, he was a big guy, the production of the movie made him look bigger. He was always filmed up at. He wore wrist bands to make the veins in his arms stick out, something to make his arms look bigger. Items on the set were made small like beds he would have to curl up in. Doorways were shortened so he had to duck his head to go through them.

I might have been a little young when I saw this in theaters. But it's an important film. I think I was 12 maybe? Maybe not super young. But it was pretty heavy compared to what I was normally allowed to see.

The part that always breaks my heart is when John is showing Paul (Tom Hanks) what really happened to the little girls and who did the murder. John says through tears, that Wild Bill "used the girls love of each other" to kill them. It's such a powerful moment and shows how purely evil Wild Bill is.

He takes pain and illness and relieves it through his mouth. That's where all his scars come from the ones that Melinda asks him about and he says he doesn't know where they came from

It's a very minor point, but remember that handshake of Paul and John upon John's arrival in his cell at the start of the movie.

I read the book and the film is like the book to a dot. It was one of the most profound reading experiences of my life. The book was edited and getting out in episodes and me and my friends we were dying waiting for the next chapters !! as soon as they were out we rushed to buy it. I was an interactive experience right at the beginning of the internet! imagine this movie spread out over a couple of months ! and as you can imagine we were stuck for a while with Paul, the prisoners, Percy, John Coffey, and the mouse ... it all seemed so random and it all came together so brilliantly at so many levels !! the one time I got to experience this was again two years ago watching the series Watchmen... my mind felt alive again !! I recommend you give it a try (after watching the Watchmen movies of source!

Speculation is that John was an angel. Del spoke native Cajun French. Please watch The Shawshank Redemption--same director, also from a story by Stephen King.

It roughly parallels the story of Jesus Christ. How John healed people, was persecuted and eventually put to death. There are a lot of parallels one can interpret, from the apostles to the thieves executed along with Jesus, to Pontius Pilate. Even the initials "J.C."

One part that always gets me is when Del says, when they are about to bring him to the electric chair, "I sure wish I coulda met you guys somewheres else." You mentioned that they don't tell us the audience what Del did to be on death row. That's one of the things they left out from the book: He raped and killed an underage girl and then burned her body. Then, that fire got out of control and caught a nearby building on fire killing 6 more. They most likely left that out so it would be easier to be sympathetic to him.

Awesome reaction!!! Great movie!!!💯💯💯

You are amazing! so smart and on point!!Thank you!

Great reaction this is one of my favorite movies keep growing your channel

I read The Green Mile and I've read all of Stephen Kings books and his short stories...I feel that I am his biggest fan...I started reading his stuff when he first started writing...I go way back to the beginning with this great man.

yay a new video from you! and i was hopin you would do this movie. tear jerker for sure. youre so adorable 😊

So happy you got to this movie. Great reaction. Love your channel so much. I look forward to your next video.

Love this movie!!😭

You are amazing. There's something so very special about you.

Oh, yeah, I've read the book. There was a lot more story of Paul's life in the nursing home, and more explaination as to how he lost his wife, Jan. Actually, it was originally published in six parts, an episodic much in the style of 19th century serials, such as those by Charles Dickens.

Hey Californiablend I have two things to say.First you have a Beautiful face,and Second,your comment at 25:08 is just what I thought the first time that I watched "The Green Mile".Keep looking Beautiful.

Cant help it.....every time i watch this flick...i end up tearing up.

Beautiful reaction from a beautiful lady. Thank you for making a piece of my day enjoyable.

I used to have pet rats. They were the sweetest things on earth. I had long hair, and they just sit behind it on my shoulders. Giving me kisses I miss them to this day. They were so sweet.

Michael Clarke Duncan was 6’5”, the same height as David Morse, Brutal, but they used risers and camera angles to get the illusion.

Big John was an angel.

I'm in heaven...I'm in heaven... 😭😭😭😭

This movie breaks me. They killed an angel.

The greatest crime surrounding this movie involved the academy awards. While Michael Clarke Duncan (John Coffey), was nominated as best supporting actor, he didn't win. The oscar went to Michael Caine that year. No one remembers Michael Caine's character or the movie he won it for that year. But anyone who's ever seen The Green Mile can NEVER forget John Coffey!

Enjoyed watching this with you. You know Stephen King is my favorite. Book or movie.

"It's my atonement, you see"....

Bless your heart

I read this entire book in one graveyard shift on a very easy work night. I just couldn't put it down.

This is on my must-watch list. If it's on, I must watch it. Just like Shawshank Redemption, Hunt for Red October and Saving Private Ryan which are also on the list along with many others.

: I spent 30 years of my life without watching this movie and I watched it like only a month ago. I love how we can draw a parallel between John's power and what it's like being an introverted empath and basically feeling everything other people are feeling, sharing their burden and their emotions and then feeling absolutely exhausted

Here's a movie I recommend you to react to Called "The Shawshank Redemption" ...I believe same director from this move ....a 1994 Classic

Beautiful, thank you...

Great job as usual beautiful😎

Del (Delacroix) was of Cajun ancestry. That's why he uses a lot of French words. The "flies" you see coming out of John's mouth, every time he heals someone, is a manifestation of the evil that plagues the world. John sucks the evil out, and releases it as flies that disappear into the ether. Thus, that particular evil is not able to re-infestate any other individual.

Look at this space bun queen

poor John Coffey, I knew right from the start that he was innocent of the accusation against him. No way would such a sweet and caring person commit such a horrible atrocious crime like that. Paul's literally the luckiest character since he has a real long life to live, most audiences wish to have the same

You're right that the longer movie allowed them to stay close to the original book. In fact, there is only 1 important detail not in the movies that is in the books, & it has to do with the identity & backstory of John. The movie gives you the 2 more subtle out of 3 clues in the book, & if the reader puts them together before the very end then it's a huge foreshadowing of the book's end. Clue 1: How John keeps calling all the guards "boss". Though not a 100% guarantee, during Depression era U.S. it's very unlikely for a black man in his 30s or 40s to call anyone but a superior at work that. Instead everywhere he went other than his job he would habitually use "sir" adressing all white men, in order to be sure to not rile any racists around him into thinking he doesn't "know his place". Clue 2: The discussion with John's lawyer, when he says that before & during John's trial that they could find no records of him anywhere despite a thorough search. While not surprising that John couldn't read or write anything other than his name, the fact that he can't remember his birthdate, what town he was born in, any relative that could be contacted, a place or person that might have info on where he/his family were from, etc. is weird. Typically 4-5 year olds are more than capable of memorizing a few key details like their own birthday & such. This indicates that by the time John was old enough to be taught more than his name, he had been separated from anyone that cared to teach him. Again, not 100% proof, but odd because even if he had been orphaned there would have been someone overseeing his housing. Someone that would've had some kind of custody paperwork, even if he went to work as early as the age of 6-7. Clue 3: In the movie you see when John is brought to this prison he is not in prison garb & had no shoes. In fact later in the flashback you see the clothes are the same ones he was arrested in, just with the blood washed out. Him not fitting in any prison provided garb leads to clue 3. On the Green Mile's wash day, instead of just switching him clean underwear & clothes for his dirty ones, John has to strip to his underwear & wait for his clothes to be washed & dried & returned right away. This is when everyone sees his back, which is covered in multiple layers of whipping scars. Of course logic says there is no way a black kid/teen would just hang around a place to get more than 1 whipping like that. Money or not, he'd run away & live on the streets if need be while trying to find a job to feed himself. Unless he COULDN'T run away, because he was restrained or threatened with more severe violence like a gun. Put all the clues together, & it sounds like John is clearly a former slave, except he couldn't be right? The lawyer & everyone else never put these facts together beause he's way too young to have been a slave. Just look at him! Nah, it's the 1930s & he can't be over 45 years old. Not gray, no wrinkles to speak of, so muscular! Is this a plot hole? Did the author mix up when slavery was abolished? EXCEPT at the end of the book, you are presented with a mouse & a man that are still alive so, so many years after exposure to just a bit of John's powers. No, you weren't crazy for thinking he was a slave for at least a good portion of his early life. No wonder he was so tired of seeing & feeling human cruelty, to the point that he willingly let himself be executed for heinous crimes he didn't commit. 😭😭 [Minor details left out of the movie for time are the specifics of the crimes that the 1st two executed prisoners were convicted of. Both had murdered for different reasons, 1 intentionally & 1 accidentally, but both truly were sorry instead of just being sorry they were caught because deep down they were good people.]

As a veterinarian I can tell you the differences between mice and rats are as numerous as the difference between dogs and cats. Mice are not fun pets, but rats make great pets. Mice are aggressive, rats are not. Mice can't really be taught many tasks, rats can be taught to do stuff that dogs can do. If you can't tell, I love rats, they make great pets and have great personalities
