S.L. S. Nothing to be ashamed of, I cry at this scene too.

that bit always hurts because i always thought maybe he didnt feel it, but john was kind and didn't want them to feel bad!

As soon as he said that I cried straight away the way he looks up at John they love John as they know he is a good man they hate knowing they can't save his life

How good of an actor is David Morse though. He plays this role of a caring gentle giant and then plays a seasoned serial killer in disturbia. Alot of people talk about Bryan Cranstons ability to be goofy dad Hal in MITM and then Walter White in breaking bad but David Morse pulling those 2 roles off is just as impressive imo

@@Gencturk92 why would terminator 2 make people cry?

Schindlers list.

i watched it with my dad, and yes...my dad cried

​@@Gencturk92What dude cries on Titanic?

​@@ajl8975that was funny

To this day I can't watch this without crying. Dean's tears for John always starts me off he looks so devastated locking John into the chair.

@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 the music really adds to the scene too

The Speedster Hero: Green Runner I’d be the same

Also I think that young guard had the perspective of John being a direct presence from god himself, he felt like they was probably killing someone that god put on earth to help other.

awwww i saw it too its so heartbreaking😭🙏

Even Van Hay was barely holding back his emotions having to actually be the man who rolled on two

That's how it is everyday. That's how it is all over the world.

I wish the world was a better place im also tired of people being ugly to each other and the pain in the world everyday there's to much of it. It's like peices of glass in my head.

He wasn't killed for no reason, he was given the option to leave the place but he chose to let the guys help him end his life because of how sick he was of the people around him.

Even though it’s a very emotional movie, it’s just that, a movie, no reason to feel sick

It's a movie dude, get a grip

Yeah, that sucked. Michael Clarke Duncan or Tom Hanks should have taken it home, and it should have won Best Picture, because it teaches all of humanity a powerful lesson.

Wonder what his wife thought too

In the book she was mad he let it happen

What do they know? If your own kids get rped and killed are you still in forgiving mood?

​@@00_rei90He was innocent, though. She'd probably be ashamed and appalled if she knew she said that to an innocent man.

​@@00_rei90 hell no but this dude is innocent. You gotta watch the movie gen z

@@00_rei90Richtig

Got no sympathy for her at all

Me.

Steve Mannering I like it, but I feel it would’ve cheapened the scene. The fact that it is implied (so much so that we pick up on it) but not said, makes the scene all the more powerful

I think when Paul said that, he was actually talking about himself. God doesn't need to put mercy on John's soul.....

problem with that line though is, John had given Paul permission to execute him, in fact he said he wanted it.

i think the handshake was the « and mind »

He was already talking about himself, it’s apparent in his voice after already having mentioned how he feared his judgment day for carrying out this sentence. The implication is what made it beautiful and powerful. I feel anything else is way too on the nose.

“On the day of my judgement, when I stand before God, and he asks me why, did I ... did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I going to say?” “You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you're hurting and worrying. I can feel it on you. But you ought to quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head... all the time. Can you understand?”

@@Fugax_8 what makes that so tragic is that Paul, Brutal, Harry and Dean see John's abilities as a gift something to be allowed to carry on using but to John its a curse as well as a gift he sees the good and bad of humanity day in day out that he's had enough death means peace for him. But it comes at the cost of the guards internal struggle of executing an innocent man who thinks of it as a kindness rather than punishment.

Dean's tears for John is what set me off and always do to this day he was devastated and whenever I watch this film Dean's crying always starts me off 😭😭😭

If u watched the movie u know they do find out

@@rubenreyes8466when?

@@mr.noodlez9183 I think John somehow showed Paul what really happened to the & who actually killed the girls. but even then, Paul really couldn’t help or do anything to get John out of the situation he was already in.

​@@LeesoPskiiiPaul wanted to clear John's name. But John told him that the execution would be an act of mercy, because it was a very cruel world.

John Coffey wanted to die. Earlier in the film he actually chooses to go ahead with the execution, even though the guards were willing to try and let him escape.

I wish he held his hand the entire time

Coffey's Voice: "He Killed them what they love. That's how it is every day all over the world."

Following dels "sorry for what I do/did" final words it's even more poignant.

Thing is though, it sort of isn't. Many, many black people (and white people) were executed innocently, mostly due to their skin but also social stance.

The same thing tragically happened in real life many times.

It’s not. Google emmet till

@@ethanriddell1460 Damn, that's a tough story..

Not necessary. I found it hugely impactful as it is.

Edgecomb: Alright, John.

I’m sobbing….😣😭

he should of said "may god have mercy on your soul and on mine "

Probably not. For everyone in this room John was a monster. And for the parents, he was the person who killed their children brutally. So if someone was to try to shut them it probably would have caused a great scandal and they would lose their jobs.

Simple… he wasn’t. The rest were just good at keeping appearances. But you can see them starting to bawl and cry and break apart. Dean probably can’t hide his emotions like the others. But that in no way means he was alone in the suffering and crying. But because no one else saw John Coffey for who and what he truly was. An innocent gift from god himself with the ability to heal and help and the will to do so they had to stay stoic for the crowd who only saw the monster that they mistakingly thought he was.
