Hey everyone!
This film was done so wonderfully. The performances, the plot, the pacing, setting and overally well-rounded characters really made this movie so memorable. No wonder The Green Mile won by a landslide - it hit hard near the ending, it was an ending I was not expecting and not one I really wanted to see because of how much it upset me, but still a fantastic ending to a movie filled with charm. Tom Hanks outdid himself in this movie and all I can say is.... pls keep requesting more Tom Hanks films. He's so great and I'm respecting him more and more as an actor after each performance. :) thank you guys for the tear jerker movies - you really know how to pick em lmao
even though Michael Clarke Duncan passed away in 2012 , this movie and this role made him in my opinion immortal , he will forever live on as one of god's true miracles
Guy was a real life angel. Looks like a scary giant, but is as friendly as a person can be. I seen him while in NY, he was getting off a flight that I was on. Didn't realize he was on it. When we got off I waved at him and said "Your my fav actor man! Hope you have a good day!". He just waved and said "Thank you!"
@@shinrapresident7010 Well having a man who can heal people would be considered a miracle. He couldn't heal the girls because they were dead to long to "take it back".
This at the top, and him in "Talladega Nights" second. And watch the outtakes to know how hard it was for the other actors not to laugh when he was singing.
@@shinrapresident7010 Stephen King often portrays the big bad in his novels as the Devil. Wild Bill was literally the Devil. Look it up, but be prepared to go down a rabbit hole, that many people would not expect from Stephen King. His stories have an interconnection to them.
Agreed.. this was his.
The murderer wasn’t the son of the victims’ father. He was hired help. Great movie. Thanks
She knows lol I beat you to it 😋💕
Wihid bihill wahorton
@@miketrujillo3677 Dude, I got one word for you, 'spell check'.
@@stinkbug4321 no
@@stinkbug4321 btw it was clearly intentional and i was making fun of the accent
Don't worry, whoever watches this movie and doesn't cry can't be human
Absolutely agree
Facts!
Another movie is "I am Sam"
Agreed. And I like Death Metal
😳😳 I am not human! 🧐 Aliens
Paul’s dilemma about just what to do near the execution date is really gut wrenching. When he tells his wife “I’ve done a lot of things in my life I’m not proud of, but this is the first time I’ve felt real danger of hell” was such a great line. Followed up by asking John what he’s supposed to tell God if he goes through with the execution. Just superb writing.
Absolutely.. I'm a tough as guts male and I caved in big time on this movie
At John's execution, when Paul says "May God have mercy on your soul" I think he was talking more to himself than to John.
"You get some antibiotics" Movie takes place in 1935. Antibiotics became available in 1941. ;) So a bladder infection is still potentially deadly.
Well, as he said, the medicine would only make him puke all over his office...
You're absolutely right LOL I just get so into the movies I just want peeps to be ok
they also use sellotape to cover Percy's mouth which wasn't invented until 1937 lol
Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic (penicillin) in 1928 and the first commercial antibacterial (prontosil) was available in the 30s but, sure, it wasn't until 1945 that penicillin was introduced on a large scale.
@@NosirrathOfficial Yes but scotch tape was invented in 1932, so unless you can read the brand name off of it...
"We're gonna have problems with Percy"
Honestly this might as well be the title of half this movie
Problems with percy
The only problem with Percy was he just had a small wee wee. He was around normal sized ones and he wanted them all to notice him and think he was big😂😂😀😀😀😀
Me: shows up to work sluggish
Manager: "are you okay?"
Me: "I'm tired boss"
😭😭😭😭😭
Dog tired?
I haven't read the book, but from what I've heard it sounds like John Coffey was born in Africa. He was probably brought over in the slave trade in the 1600-1800's. And given those scars on him, he's probably 200-300 years old. Maybe older, that's A LOT of time to feel the world's pain...Dog tired is a bit of an understatement...
@@jakejones8032 theres nothing in the book that indicates where john was born. The scars could easily come from colonial America or slavery in the 1800s
Or he was a regular guy with a cursed gift and it was long enough for him to want to die. If he's really a Christ figure, this is the Way
Lmao fuck you, you got me
21:42 Wild Bill wasn't that mans son. If he was those girls would've been his sisters. Back in those days people hired anyone to help out and there were lots of migrants taking up those offers. Billy was just a homeless dude working on the farm for the family
Yes! And that family was so kind to him. Giving him work, a place to live... they even fed him, letting him sit at their table with them for dinner.
@@kwadwotuffour5529 Yup... so fucked up. 😔
Ummm....people STILL hire day labor immigrants to this very day. Ever been to the HOME DEPO parking lot before?? Immigrants are right there waiting for employment from white people.
@@sammylane21 lol not like this they dont. They invite those immigrants into their homes for meals and family time? Doubt. Lmfao what was your point here cause I'm not seeing it.
@@Shadyoaksretirement I dunno how much more simple I could make but I guess if you can't see it.
One of the most beautiful and horrifying movies at the same time...
the nightingale
After about 10 reaction videos the eyes stay dry fortunately.
brutals comment to percy "he paid what he owe. he square with the house again!" is something most people forget. people who went to jil already paid for their crimes. no need to punish them after the sentence.
And they treated John Cofey the same as the others when they're in the deep south during the depression... not exactly a good time and place to be black. The guards were good men, aside from Percy.
Well the others had seen enough of the mile by the time Percy joined them
Please watch the other heartbreaking/uplifting Stephen King classic (dw it’s not horror) the Shawshank Redemption. It is one of the best movies of all time
According to IMDB it is literally the best movie ever made
Coincidentally, another Frank Darabont picture. There's something incredible about both films that he certainly had a lot to do with.
Yes!! It's also by the same director of this one too, Frank Darabont. Both "The Shankshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" are a part of cinema history!!
I second this, she absolutely has to watch Shawshank
_The Shawshank Redemption_ is my preference between these two films. It's got similar feel-good moments and slightly less nightmare fuel.
I don't think Paul was literally being punished. John passed his "gift" to Paul and both men felt they were cursed by it.
@Raylan Givens But why did the mouse have long life too?
@@enidrobertson4858 the mouse only had more life because it was gifted to the little guy while Paul is getting his punishment
@@JesusRodriguez-rs8jq I guess I'm just missing why long life is a "gift" for the mouse but a "curse" for Paul. What is the point of the contradiction then? John gave the gift to Paul, so did he curse Paul AND at the same time forgive him for carrying out the execution? For me, these questions make me think John is not a direct analogy for Christ, even though there are parallels.
@@enidrobertson4858 the curse for Paul was not necessarily long life, but being forced to live on past everyone he loved and watch them die. Mr. Jingles, being a mouse, doesn’t carry that part of the punishment. Also, Paul himself says he believes the punishment came, not from John, but God. So John may have been purely trying to communicate and didn’t know what the consequences would be.
Agreed. I think you've got it right.
I´m glad The Green Mile is getting quite some attention in the YT reaction community recently as it is an absolute masterpiece.
Billy wasn't the guys son, during the depression there were a lot of wandering workers who would do a job for a few pennies, a meal and a place to sleep. Billy was one of those who was also an evil SOB.
Pure Evil in fact.
Interesting fact: King published the book a chapter at a time like Charles Dickens did with some of his books. He deliberately denied himself the chance to go back and edit the chapters and therefore had to make sure each was as close to perfect as possible.
I bought all six volumes as they came out. Hated having to wait a month for the next installment.
@@Blazingstoke I worked in a bookstore when it was coming out and made sure I got the first copy that came in every month in case they sold out. Screw the customers. LOL
Not really a chapter at a time, but 6 small volumes. Multiple chapters per volume.
@@BubbaCoop Excellent pedantry.
@@jthomann71 truth matters. There's a huge difference between King releasing 6 volumes and Dickens releasing a chapter a week for 12 months
We all got sad that John Coffey died, but he did said he was tired and couldn't deal with all the pain, suffering and evil in this world anymore. He finally got peace, he suffers no longer. *Hug
Yeah and it's so sad he died from a scratch that got infected. Some ways you never could think you could die from.
They were totally going to let John go. Everyone knew he was innocent and a good man. If anyone deserved to live, it was him. But John didn't want to.
@@deandredunbar9618 A scratch…who Duncan? Duncan had a heart attack
Do you remember who won that Oscar?
@@Buttascotch Had to look up. Michael Caine for Cider House Rules. Haley Joel Osment was also nominated for Sixth Sense.
When Percy peed himself, the irony is that his last name is Wetmore.
I never recognized that trivia. Thanks!
Percy wetmore do a dance,
Listen to him sqiushin in his pants.
His name is W-H-I-T-M-O-R-E. It's their southern accent that makes it sound like W-E-T.
@@patrickcromwell7554 no it's not, it's actually wetmore. Go to google and type in the green mile cast and see for yourself
Everyone is allowed to bawl at the end of the movie.
A few small facts: Michael Clarke Duncan was that big; I am 6'3" and he towered over me. He had the biggest smile and gave great hugs.
No, he was only 2 inches taller than you. (He was 5" taller than Hanks, and was 1" _shorter_ than Cromwell, the actor playing the character whose wife had cancer.) The filmmakers exaggerated his size for the movie by playing the usual movie tricks.
Hank is playing so good you’d think he actually had kidney stones .. if Daniel Day-Lewis had played that part he probably would’ve tried to get them irl for realism hehe
I'm a grown young man... But this movie still makes me cry buckets!
You need to change your name to Beta Charlie.
@@kenbean75 that was my old radio callsign. LoL but thanks for the suggestion though.
@@kenbean75 You are a stone, not a grown-assed man.
@@neilgriffiths6427 Cry more beta XD
This movie made everybody cry! You are not alone. One of the best movies ever!
"I hate Percy. If i saw him in person, i would fistfight him" LMFAO 😂😂😂
🤠 If you enjoyed this you would love "Shawshank Redemption," also based on a Stephen King work, a long short story, and "Stand By Me," another great movie based on King's short story "The Body." 👍
"Ooh, VKunia reaction! Oh, it's the 'Green Mile.' Guess I'm crying today."
Brutal trying to hold back hes emotions at the end breaks me everytime
Phenomenon with John Travolta gives me a similar kind of sadness, just thinking about that music and him watching the trees in the wind makes my heart ache.
Phenomenon is lovely. Another film I really enjoy is Michael also with Travolta. I'd like the see The Spitfire Grill get a reaction as well.
Frank Darabont, the director of this and Shawshank, is one of the only directors that truly elevates King's stories. He's astounding at tapping into the core of what he was trying to get at, and execute it flawlessly.
Didn't he also direct The Mist, which was also elevated by his original ending to the movie?
Probably the same reason why there were so many familiar faces in the movie. Also some cast from Saving private Ryan
The frame of John Coffee watching with utter joy a film is to me one of the most iconic frames in cinematic history. For that Michael Clarke Duncan will live on forever. It's beautiful that one role can always come back over 20 years later and still have the same impact.
I'm a grown man and this movie makes me cry too
I've seen this movie several times since it came out. I can't get through it without being gutted to tears. Even just thinking about it provokes a tug deep in my chest. Simply a great film!
My first two viewings were on cable. The second viewing started when I was out of the apartment, grabbing a load of laundry. I was sorting when the scene came on at the beginning with Top Hat.
I reacted like Paul :-p
In the last 19 years I've managed to get past that scene... others, not so much yet ;-)
This movie actually was the first one ever that I got I a tear coming down my face. It’s so strong and powerful.
Both actors got Oscars nominations for this movie. It’s just superb all the way.
Only Michael Clarke Duncan was nominated for an Oscar.
I have watched this movie 30-40 times because it is one of my favorites. I am wrecked at the end EVERY TIME. The first time I watched it I started weeping profusely half an hour before JCs death decause I had read the book and I knew what was coming and I was crying just as hard at the end. 100 ⭐s.
"I don’t know if I love or hate this movie." Sounds about right. 💔
Every time I think Percy's punishment was harsh, I think about somebody that sadistic having free reign in a mental hospital and it changes my mind completely.
He’s not being punished hon. John had to give him a little piece of himself though so that he could die. But he wanted to give it to a good man.
But that's how Paul sees it... he even said it to Elaine. If you lived to see your wife and children all die before you then you'd feel like you were being punished also. I'm not sure I understand the point you're making about John giving a piece of himself so he could die, unless you're saying he wanted everyone to know the truth before he died. The ironic thing about this plot is John temporarily passed Melinda's disease to Percy in order to kill Billy. Billy was on death row and the movie never really doesn't spend much time telling us why. If John wanted he could have "shown" Paul or even the warden before Billy was shot. Maybe John wanted to make sure he was killed, but it's a very odd thing for John to do. I need to read the book because there are some very odd plot decisions in this movie I think.
@@JeepersCreepers2013 thanks for the response. Such a beautiful movie. My grandma’s 93 so she’s seeing everybody but me die all of her kids that’s what happens when you live to be old and most of us don’t. I don’t know anything obviously I’m just pulling stuff out of thin air but he seem to be almost an angel or a deity I don’t think he could die we have no idea how old he was John. He had to give a little piece of himself to literally be able to die. Tired boss dog tired. Not saying you’re wrong. Have a great day
@@JeepersCreepers2013 He was on death row for killing three people, including a pregnant woman, during a robbery. As far as why John decided to take action against Wharton through Percy instead of just letting Wild Bill face Old Sparky in due time, I think it's due to John's somewhat vacuous essence---as old Paul Edgecombe puts it, "He's just a force of nature." John was a sponge, and he absorbed the terrible pain and horror of Del's bad death through Percy's machinations, and he also absorbed the horrible tragic death of the Detterick twins when Wharton grabbed him as the guards were sneaking him out of The Mile to go heal Melinda Moores. Punishing the both of them was essentially a simple action-reaction. I don't believe the book provides any more clarity than the movie as to exactly why Coffey chose to be the instrument of their fates.
I don't know a single person who has seen this movie that a) didn't love it and b) didn't cry at least once. Watched this with my war-hardened dad once on blu-ray and he "pretended" to cry with a "boo hoo hoo" because we were all crying, but when I looked at his face I could see that he really WAS crying and used that as an excuse to explain it. It's one of the cleanest book-to-movie conversions I have ever seen, following the book(s) by about 95%. Frank DeBont did an amazing job writing the screenplay and directing it. He also was a major reason that Michael Clarke Duncan was nominated for an Academy Award for his part, even though at first Michael wasn't doing too good and didn't have confidence in himself. But luckily, Frank did and set him up with a professional acting coach that worked with him for days on end and the results speak for themselves.
Great movie. Definitely in my top 20 of all time.
A shoutout to Dabs Greer, who played old Paul. He did a great job. Especially with the ending voiceover.
Miles,you're right,I think we all tend to overlook his contribution to the film and his voice was the perfect one to use at the end,and he spoke it so well,overall this movie breaks me up every time I watch a reactor do this movie.VK has such a soft heart and is a real sweetheart.
That moment where Hanks asks "On the day of my judgement when God asks me why I killed one of his true miracles" just destroys me every time. Knowing that he has witnessed a miracle, yet his hands are tied and has to do what is required of him, while knowing the damnation that awaits him? How many of us would NOT be afraid of what to say when asked "Why?".
Thank you for such an honest, emotional review. Dont ever hide your big heart!!
As another highly emotional person I would like to thank you for your honest reaction, it made me feel more comfortable with my own emotional expression.
It is hard for guys to be emotional (it is socially unacceptable) but your reaction was almost exactly the same as mine. It was very cathartic, thank you, it was awsome, I've just subscribed.
I'm surprised you never heard of "The Green Mile"! I hope you"ve heard of "The Shawshank Redemptiom"! You must watch that one also, if you haven't seen it!
I dunno. I get the very distinct feeling that though she may not have seen it (all the way through), she's at least heard quite a bit about it
if I had to bet, I'd say she already saw it.
@@abrahamcm3463 That seems to be the trend now. Fake like you've never seen a movie to get views and subs. It kinda stinks to get into it and realize they're not telling the truth. I respect the ones who admit to seeing a movie, but are reacting because it was requested
@@LA_HA the way I gather it, you could get subs and views just by giving your interpretation to the movie even if you saw it before, just keep it real.
@@abrahamcm3463 That's the thing. Plenty of RUclipsrs just tell the truth and it's still fun to watch. But, if I think they're lying, it's a turn off and I stop watching if it happens too often
Unfunfact: Dale (the prisoner with the mouse), the left out why he was in prison (its in the book). He raped a little girl then killed her and set her on fire to try and burn away her body. If we knew that in the movie, pretty sure no one would have felt sad for him. Glad they left it out.
_Del,_ as in short for Delacroix.
Finished the book last week. Del set the girl he raped on fire which set the house on fire and killed 6 other people.
I would have felt sad for him. Mainly for his line about wishing he had met the guards somewhere else. Sometimes meeting the right (or the wrong) people can alter the trajectory of one's life. In the end he realized how kind people could be and that if he had been around people like that then he may have turned out better. There's the factor of "nature vs nurture" in all of us, and meeting the right people can be a positive bit of nurture that can inform us emotionally and mentally in ways that change how we see the world.
@@Galiant2010 Well said. It's an important moment in the movie.
And when he set the fire, it caught the building on fire and killed 6 more people.
Michael Clarke Duncan wasn’t that tall, he was decently tall, but they made him look massive for the roll. He played a great Jesus.
You're right, he was 'only' 6ft 5ins, just a smidge over average really.
He was about the same height as David Morse
@@eddhardy1054 Seeing as the average height of a male in America is 5'10, that's more than a smidge. That's a whole half a foot taller. ;) (I'm aware you were being sarcastic).
He was shorter than the actor that played the Prison Warden, but good camera work and clever use of scaffolding boards made him look over 7' tall
@UCvoJWCd20jwBgyuU601zNyg decently tall, meaning he’s tall, but not the tower giant like he was in this film.
This is a truly beautiful movie and I loved your reaction to it. Incredible that an author like Stephen King who is famous for his horror novels actually wrote two outstanding dramas in The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption!
I love how genuine you are. It's so sweet
Wild Bill isn't his son. He was just some guy who was hired to help paint their house.
John’s death is one of the most heartbreaking moments in film history and I’m not exaggerating it really is.. the part that really jabs you is that his actor Michael Clarke Duncan died almost 10 years ago now…💔
Just so you know, MOST of Stephen Kings works involve something called the Shining. Common with people who went through abuse or struggles as children, it gives them certain powers against dark forces. So when magic is involved it generally means that person has the Shine. John Coffee has a very strong version of the Shine, making one wonder what he must have went through as a child.
They don't learn to shine, it's an innate ability. Its not created by abuse. They're often sought after to be destroyed because they are "breakers". If all the breakers are destroyed the dark tower will fall into all lands.
Sometimes great gifts become curses. Paul ended up living with a gift that was a burden, like John. Great movie! Your reaction reminded me of the first time I saw this movie. I actually got invested in your reaction so I went through it all again! ❤
the acting was so great in this i did not even recognise wild bill as crewman guy in galaxy quest.what an actor
when you can hate a character so much/ what an actor that is
Yep, this is one of those movies that makes me ugly cry at the end too. You're not alone Vee 😢
In the book, which was originally published as a six-part serial, the narration says at the end of part 1 that John Coffey's execution was the last Paul ever took part in. Only later do we learn about John's abilities, and how the evidence at his trial doesn't add up, and so on. Intentional or not, it was a brilliant touch by King, as learning the truth of what happened and the miracles John could perform for people while knowing that he's going to be executed at the end anyway just magnified the sense of injustice and tragedy.
This movie is a masterpiece. Im a 32 yo man and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME makes me cry. Seeing your reactions VKunia only made it more intense (beautiful and sad at the same time). You gained a new subscriber for this, its rare to see good reactions, and your emotions are quite beautiful.
I read this book during a cruise on deck one day. I got so into reading it, I forgot that the sun was still really intense near the Caribbean in the winter. So for the next few days I was still reading it and sunburnt (inside). I was very happy they made the movie so well. It transferred very well. Some really good stories get lost when made into a movie from a book.
The ongoing theme with Tom Hanks movies is...they are all great
The man simply knows how to pick the right projects.
Bachelor Party.
The Bosom Brothers series where he got his start as a cross dressing man...well drat, that was funny too
Even Joe vs The Volcano.... There is greatness in that, too (though it's harder to see...)
awe man, you are too sweet! this is an awesome movie, definitely one of my favorites and your reactions are always so genuine and nice.
Young lady, that was an incredible reaction.
I can see how this movie broke you, and it also broke me watching it along with you. I was with you every step of the way.
No movie had ever hit me this way. I still remember the first time I watched it after renting it on DVD from Blockbuster. I knew nothing about it, but knew I liked Tom Hanks.
When I watched it, I was on my own, and I ended up in floods of tears. I ended up calling my mother afterwards to tell her what'd happened and how it'd impacted me.
Stephen King writes such great characters, and Frank Darabont does such a great job of bringing them to the screen.
About half way through it dawned on me that John might die. It was like a sledgehammer, and by the end of the movie I was a complete wreck.
This is an incredibly beautiful and touching movie. This kind of movie doesn't come along very often, and as hard as it is to watch, it's so important. This kind of movie is very rare, but so important.
Billy wasn't the son, he was a guy they hired to paint their fence(@21:43). And Coffey touched Paul(Tom Hanks)'s bladder. He had a bladder infection.
Yep, I was checking the existing comments before making this same observation. He wasn’t family, that’s why he had to cut his way into the porch.
John was an Angel in human form. That's my headcanon & I'm stickin'to it! 🥰❤️
His initials are J.C. like someone else, only not spelt the same.
Sam Rockwells character was not the girls brother/ son of their father, he was a hired hand! I love your pure, heartfelt reaction, says a lot about you ❤️ ♥️
I think this is one of the most amazing adaption of a book to be made into a movie and the actors all played there characters really well
"Oh no, this movie's going to be a tearjerker."
THAT'S putting it mildly. Easily one of the top 3 tearjerkiest movies of all time.
I LOVE your reactions. This one in particular. I saw this in the theatre and had read the book before hand. This movie had tears rolling down my face. 💖💖💖
Awww, you even reset to close the video and were almost to tears again. Great reaction. I've never seen this movie, but you did a good job reacting.
It's impossible to not feel all emotional while watching this movie. It hits even if you know what's about to happen because it's such a well made movie. This is one of those movies with an absolutely perfect cast. Michael Clarke Duncan deserved all the awards for this role. That was some terrific acting. This movie is insanely sad, but also incredibly deep. Terrific story. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.
"I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven!" This movie always puts such a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes, and snot in my nose.
For cathartic measure go to The Blueberry Void reaction to the Green Mile. It may help with your anxiety. Stephen King intentionally named Michael Clarke Duncan's character John Coffey, initials J.C in the biblical sense. It is written that the person that crucified J.C was cursed to live forever as punishment.
I think u are confusing st longinus with the legend of wandering jew. Maybe they one and the same but other accounts tell it different
@@gdiaz8827 yeah been a long time since Sunday school. I think I've mixed the story.
It is normal to cry with this movie. I do it everytime I watch it. Your reaction is so sweet, exactly as you are.
If this movie made you cry, then it was well made. the actors, director and script are top notch. Be proud of the tears you shed
The ending of this video is GOLD!! Thank you for the heartfelt reaction
On a lighter note; Yeah, everyone knows that feeling after you've been "holding it" for what feels like forever, and finally "go".... that relief is not quite orgasmic, but, not too many notches below it! The look on Tom Hanks face captured it PERFECTLY!
Yeah it does feel pretty good. Perhaps Tom drank a lot of water and held it in as method, as he nailed the look!
Some of us even know what a uti feels like definitely not fun
I think one of the parts that hits me hardest, was when Paul's voice cracks as he gives the order for John's execution, with all the other guards crying along with him
For someone who hadn't even heard of this movie before, she had an uncanny ability to predict every single plot development before it happened! 😂
Thank you for calling that out.
I had a feeling this movie would tear you up inside, it always does that to me. Great honest reaction
I'm so glad you finally got to experience this amazing film. It's nearly impossible not to walk into it and be knocked back some. Every actor in this movie did an amazing job (yes, even the actor who played Percy). Phenomenal. Someone my age can relate a bit easier to the thirties time period and I've always watched movies in the mindset of that time, whatever time that is, instead of relating it to now. For someone your age it must be far more difficult to do that, I'm sure, so you have to expect things to get by you. You missed a few little things but I want to tell you that the things that really matter in these films, YOU NEVER MISS. That's why I love taking the trip with you while you make your way through all these experiences. People will probably fill you in on some of the little details of that time, but I just want to say that seeing movies with you is like seeing them all over again for the first time. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences.
Assuming Mr. Jingles was a baby mouse when first introduced, by 1999 he had lived 20 times the average lifespan of a garden mouse. Using those statistics and the average life expectancy of a Caucasian male in 1935, you can determine that Tom Hanks' character will live for at least 650 years. However some theories seem to think that he could live to be well over 1000. Great reaction! Love the videos, keep up the great work!
Even though Steven King is most known for horror novels, I feel his more grounded and human stories are far better.
“Stand by Me”, another film based one of his stories, was probably one of my favorites growing up.
Frank Darabont, the director of this and “Shawshank Redemption” also did a third King movie called “The Mist” which, in my mind, is probably my favorite adaptation of one of his short horror stories.
The man is a genius.
I watched this movie like 50 times, and when I read the book I couldn't believe it was even better, 100% recomended. Great reaction!
VKunia, you are seriously a treasure. Loving your reactions. Keep up the good work.
Brutus Howell is second in command on the Green Mile and Paul's best friend. He is a tall, imposing man but not violent at all unless necessary. King has stated that his nickname of "Brutal" is intended as irony as he is usually calm and soft-spoken. Just saying that he's not supposed to "live up to his name".
Sam Rockwell is great, he stole almost every scene he was in in Galaxy Quest
He’s even better in JoJo Rabbit.
Great reaction!
Percy is what we call sadistic.
He derives pleasure from the suffering of others.
Powerful film, perfect cast. Every performance is a masterwork
Falling tears like Niagara when watching the green mile is what makes us human. Dont apologize at all. There is no human who wouldnt cry. For me i ve seen this movie so many times and it gets me every time.
Am I the only one whose favorite character is Brutus?
David Morse is wonderful in every role he plays. Have you seen him as George Washington in the HBO Miniseries "John Adams"? Incredible
You're not alone. He's a great character. I like how him and Paul always had each others backs. Paul had to stop him from beating the shit out of Percy more than once, but in turn he was always there when Paul needed him the most. "you have to say it, you have to give the order"
The one thing about this movie, for me, it’s one of my most favorite movies ever that I will never watch again
Lol Vicky, remember this is a Stephen King story. And yes it is weird that your so excited to see him take a wiz lmao
As much as many people love this movie...it is VERY underrated.
It looks like the reaction popularity of this movie is rising. Keep it going, because this film is a masterpiece!
Her: I've never even heard of this movie.
Me: I watched this movie when I was nine years old. It's one of my favourite movies ever made. You're going to be in pain. XD
Edit: Billy wasn't the farmer's son, he was just a random guy he hired to help him pain his barn. After he finished the job, he came back and kidnapped the little girls, and got away with it. He was picked up by police a few weeks later for a different crime, a triple murder.
The green mile is amazing, surprised you never heard of it
“I don’t know whether I love or hate this movie, it’s so good” - couldn’t have put it better
One of the best prison movies ever made along with Shawshank redemption.
I would add 'Murder in the First' as my third in this list!
May I add "Cool Hand Luke" also?
Yea shawshank is actually the best movie ever made.
In an interview MCD said this was one of the hardest roles he played. He said he forced himself to channel all of the abuse and pain he went through as a child. He was his 6yo self.
When Boss said may god have mercy on your soul. But what he really saying is May God have mercy on my soul he referring to him self
One of the greatest tear jerkers of all time.
Everyone with a pulse cries at this film. While hating Percy.
_The Green Mile._ It's one of those movies that brings _everyone_ to tears when they watch it; _especially_ the first time. If you have any actual _feeling_ in you, you cry. I don't care how _tough_ you are. I don't care how _stoic_ you are. You cry or you give me reservations about _trusting_ you. Afterward, you're glad you've watched it, but you _need_ your next movie to be something happier.
I've wondered about Wild Bill's sudden awareness after being fed the drugged drink, too. It just now hit me that he's already kind of proven he has some freaky tolerance or high metabolism for drugs in his first scene. He may have very well been a walking zombie when they picked him up but then recovered enough by the time they got him to the Mile. Seeing as where he was being held, and his violent tendencies, I'd bet he was drugged into a zombie state every other day or something. I dunno.
Also, what DID push Percy to shooting Wild Bill? I believe it was his brand new brain tumor, in conjunction with his shitty and violent tendencies. Remember the warden saying that his wife was having a "good day" because she wasn't spouting out profanities? To me that means anger, and makes me wonder what she would have done if she had a gun in her hand at the time. Perhaps Percy was suffering the same uncontrollable anger symptom, paired up with his own sociopathic disorder, but his weapon was a literal gun instead of simply his voice. Again, I dunno. I never did any research on these things. Fun to think about tho.
I think Bill faked the whole drugged thing at first. It's implied later that they just assumed he was drugged but they didn't actually check. But that actually takes a bit of effort to fake, I think lol. I tried to act that and was immediately put off by the need to swallow the saliva building up and lick my lips and stretch my face with squints, eye widening, and moving my jaw around.
Also, I don't think it was as simple as Percy getting some anger from a tumor. It was too specific and targeted. There were any number of people he could've shot, including Paul and the other guards who had literally tied him up and left him in a dark closet for hours. I think John deliberately held in the sickness so that he could pass it on to Percy to have him kill Bill. Two birds, one stone, as they say. It seems as though it was John's intention for Bill to die, as that scene is followed up by the backstory on Bill.
"give him a hug but its against protocol"... Get wrecked... Love it immensely...
