Michael Clarke Duncan had to dig up awful childhood memories and fears in order to play the part. He said it was needed for him to do so otherwise he wouldnt have been completely able to encompass John Coffey's childlike character. It was his best role and was robbed of an Oscar. By reputation he was a gentle man too so you believe his performance. Rip

The thing is the innocence of John Coffee is what got to me. He was this big imposing character but he was the most gentle naive person you could imagine. He just wanted the best for humanity and was just misunderstood to the people that didn’t know him. This movie was so damn good

@theprousteffect9717 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, his sweetness is actually what did me in too. The fact that such innocence, kindness, and vulnerability exists among such callousness, ugliness, and evil, is sometimes too much to emotionally process. His character was too good for this world, to the point that it was painful to watch. It wasn't the cruelty, but the sweetness, humanity, and childlike innocence portrayed in this film that stirred something very deep inside of me that I usually try not to feel in my daily life.

John is many things. He is a healer and can heal anything, he is an empath and can sense emotion, he can feel pain and injury and the closer he is the more he can feel it, his gift probably makes him immortal to natural death so that only someone else can kill him. The mouse living so long would be the equivalent of Paul living about 2000 years and they only got a tiny fragment of John's gift. He has seen the whole world in a world before planes, trains and automobiles are commonplace. His initials being JC are not a coincidence. I am a 46 year old man and I cry every time I see this movie or a reaction to it. This movie is perhaps the best movie ever made. The actors all gave award winning performances, the adaptation from the book was perfect, the director did a perfect job.

@houseofaction 2 жыл бұрын

nope the average mouse lives 4 to 7 years. it lived 64 years past the events of the past. so around 4 times its age. the average man lives 76.3 years. so you x that by 4 and you come up with 305.2. he won't live thousands of years and if he would live that long he wouldn't be looking old at 108. the women thought he was in his 80s. but at the same time he most likely won't live to 305 either. since he is already relatively old looking. if he had a drastically enhanced life span he wouldn't have reached "middle aged" appearence until he was in his mid 100s

Johnny Cash? John Cusack? Joan Cusack? James Cameron? John Candy? John Cena? Jennifer Connelly? Jackie Chan? John Coffee is NOT a metaphor for Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ would not have "punished them bad men". Jesus would never take it upon himself to punish people. Jesus even asked God to forgive the people persecuting him. Stop blowing smoke outta your ass.

Being life long Stephen King fan, I read the novellas years before the movie, and cried then. The movie brought the characters to life. Trivia: Bruce Willis convinced Michael Clarke Duncan to try out for the part of John Coffey, because he read the book too, and thought he'd be perfect for the role. He was right. Edit after your reaction: I love how you watch, and listen to the story, and can pick out what might happen. And I respect your emotions. Stephen King is against the death penalty. He's written and spoken about it. Thats how Shawshank and Green Mile came about. King isn't a horror, death writer. He writes about the living...The day Mr. King's time on this earth is over, I'll be taking a day off work to mourn, and there is no "famous" person in the world, I'd ever feel the need to do that for.

I hated Percy and I hated Wild Bill, but that's because the actors did such a great job with those characters. And of course Tom Hanks and especially Michael Clarke Duncan...what a standout performance. He was always a good actor, but this was his finest performance and it's 1 of those roles where I don't feel like any other actor on this planet could have been as good. He was born for that role and was amazing. As for choosing between this, Forrest Gump, or Shawshank...I'll take this one over the other 2 any day. Both of those movies are amazing and I absolutely love them, but this movie just has something deeper than those others. Bravo to those that voted for this one because it was a great choice. I really would like to see a reaction to 'Dances With Wolves', but this movie was the best choice.

Most of us don’t, and won’t, ever know you personally past this awesome channel and community, but this just really seemed like the kind of masterpiece you would really enjoy and take to heart, Greg! Like many of us 🙂 (sorry for being presumptuous, btw, just love this film, and anytime someone whose educated opinion on most film I respect, it’s always a blast to watch along with the gems you have somehow missed. We all have those lol…for instance, I am a MASSIVE “mafia movie” genre fan, and come from both some real life intrigue, and a track record of seeing every mafia film out there. Except any of The Godfather films somehow…)😅 Anyways, have a great day, brother, and thanks for sharing your reaction! Please continue this unintentional “Tom Hanks/Gary Sinese/Frank Darabont/what have you” roller coaster as long as you want 🙂

I absolutely adore this movie. And it is a heartbreaker for sure. I really recommend dead poets society it sort of gives similar energy to the green mile: inspirational but heavy. Love your amazing content as always 💙

But seriously man, great reaction and discussion after as usual. I love how you just discuss YOUR THOUGHTS in a breakdown. I know that sounds silly, but so many people on this platform try to impress or perform for the camera, but this just feels like a genuine film course discussion from my college years and I love that.

The Green Mile is one of my favorite films of all time. Mr. Duncan, Mr. Hanks, heck, everyone in the cast was amazing. I respect you being able to show your emotions freely while watching this because I couldn't hold back the tears myself. Thank you for reviewing this movie and for sharing your honest reactions to it. You're awesome, sir!

This movie is almost cruel with its immense kindness, tenderness, and hope. It's such a fine message, it makes us hurt with sympathy; tears are inevitable. It's a wonderful movie. You fought the good fight, TRR, until the very end of the film. Obviously you're a true human being. Thank you for your open honesty and true reactions. Elaine has one of the most poignant lines in the whole movie: "He infected you with life?!" Two other clues: the lawyer (Gary Sinese) says there is no back story for JC, it's like he just dropped to earth; and John himself, while watching the flicker show, says "Theys angels, just like in heaven."

This is hands down my favourite reaction of all time. You GOT this film, and it was so great to experience it again with someone who completely appreciated it.

Just watched it for the first time, been a huge cinema nerd for the longest time and have been putting this movie off. When Tom’s older self cried to the flicker show in the beginning I just knew it was some crazy subtle foreshadowing so I buckled down and gave it my full attention by myself ready to be enthralled by some good ole movie magic. When the flicker show came back around in the theater scene I absolutely lost it. So good. What a movie man, I am at a lost of words, I am so moved rn. Cinema.

I knew what Greg's reaction would be to The Green Mile would be as soon as I saw he chose it, to see someone with his empathy in todays broken world, is very heartwarming. I'm not crying, I'm just exercising my face muscles

In my opinion, The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are 2 of the Greatest films ever made. And I say the combo of Frank Darabont and Stephen King (who wrote BOTH of these books) was phenomenal. Of course, I'm a HUGE King fan to begin with. His earlier movies were good, but they didn't get the attention they deserved. But obviously these two did. And we see why King fans say that he is awesome. (Again, IMO)

This is one of the best made movies I’ve ever seen. Great character development. No matter how times I’ve watched it I tear up. Beautifully made. 💕 A long movie but it needed the length to really tell the story. I challenge anyone with a heart to not have an emotional reaction after watching this.

@todderickson2435 Жыл бұрын

Greg, your genuine emotions and tears showed that you are human. This film is a masterpiece, and Michael Clarke Duncan's acting (and that of Tom Hanks, of course) is top tier, "infecting" John with incredible gentleness and humanity. Simply phenomenal.

Aw, Greg. We love you. The Green Mile is one of my top ten favorite films of all time (and one of my favorite books, as well) -- it was a pleasure to watch you experience it. Stephen+ Frank + Prison Films = magic.

Dude, you made me cry so hard. It really was a great movie. Your emotions, reactions and honesty to what you watch, is so authentic, real and honest, which is so remarkable, refreshing and encouraging. I have soooooooo much respect, appreciation and admiration for you. Thanks for keeping everything so real. The movies, previews, interviews and ideologies you review, are the best, even if some of your reviews I may not agree with, but you always come from a place of truth, which I so admire and respect. Keep up the great work.

I’ve watched this so many times, and I, at the very least, tear up every time. It’s so beautiful, and acted so incredibly; especially when you consider how little acting experience MCD had at this time. Tom Hanks at MCD’s funeral was so funny and so sweet.

Thank you for reacting to this. It's one of my favorites, but I can't watch it again because it always kills me. I remember when these books came out. They released them in mini-books that got released every month, I think, or weekly. It was a great way to get you hooked.
