Then it's not "snapping." Snapping is like an animal reacting suddenly and violently to a loud noise. It's disrespectful to humans at large to pretend this is a realistic concern.

John on the other hand got bit and he was only trying to help those girls but because of the era he was living in he was immediately convicted because he was black and he probably felt that hatred day in day out no wonder he was tired out and wanted to die from the guards perspectives he had a gift but to John that gift was also a curse he was a true empath and he felt not only the good but also the horror of what humans are capable of he sensed Wild Bill's evil before he set foot on the mile and warned Paul to be careful.

I think this is a very real and gritty scene. It shows the bare-faced dehumanizing attitude towards black people in those times and areas. He wasn't just another jerkoff who knew what he was doing and trying to oppress others consciously; he _literally_ believed black people to lack the faculties to be considered human. It's uncomfortable in a way, but it's a very honest depiction of the mentality back then. I give everybody involved massive props for not trying to gloss over how things were back then.

[@TheOfficialThundazz]

In modern times it sounds to our ears as unimaginably cruel and disgusting, but back in those days, to equate black people and non whites in general to animals was a mainstream opinion. It’s easy to think of it as far behind us now but this wasn’t even a hundred years ago, which isn’t very long in the grand scheme of things.

[@jdkloosterman9379]

It is a good depiction of the mentality, but the beauty is how the mentality interweaves with the story, because Hammersmith's racism is leaving him partially blind to the full implications of the story with the dog.
The grotesque horror of the story with the dog is that savagery and violence can come suddenly, out of nowhere, for no reason whatsoever, even from familiar and loved sources. Hammersmith in that sense is wiser than most people of his time period for realizing that the universe can be cruel and unpredictable. But he hides himself in the delusion that *real* men are not like this, that only animals and black people are capable of such sudden, random violence. His belief that white people are better blinds him to the fact that anyone can be like this--can appear to be a friend, and then suddenly attack.
Hammersmith's story with the dog actually fits perfectly, but it doesn't describe John Coffey. It describes Wild Bill.

This is a story about death row. A compelling scene that dances around the morally grey discussion of guilt, recidivism and the justice system as a whole. Gary's point isn't entirely wrong, but there are exceptions, John being one of them. Those exceptions are the epicenter of any moral discussion about the death penalty. "What if you're wrong" - but, most often a jury isn't, so is the threat/deterrence of a death penalty enough to justify the times that an innocent is sentenced? Is there a deterrence at all? Common questions and the story invokes a mixture of them nicely.

[@osmanyousif7849]

True. Maybe Burt (Gary's character) was able to prove that somehow John could've have been able to pull such a cruel crime. Especially considering in John seeing what Wild Bill did, it'd be impossible for a man his size to break into the Dettericks' home and kidnap the girls, or cause such fatal wounds to them. It doesn't make even any sense since they have probably never seen John before in their lives. Now even if the Burt, the jury, and judge somehow managed to put their bias's and prejudices aside, they would have considered this. However, all it took John being at the scene of their deaths, and his hands covered in the girls' blood, that they all said, "This is out of our hands.".

I like how they changed up Sinese’s character slightly by having him be John Coffey’s defense attorney. In the book he’s a reporter. His depiction in the film has more dimension. He’s got conviction in his belief that everyone is entitled to proper legal representation, which makes it more tragic that he still holds on to personal prejudices. He comes across as more interesting as a result. I suppose it also helps that everyone’s casting in this film, Sinese included, is spot on.

The book confirms the dog snapped. The son put his face too close to the dog and the dog lunged at him. He wasn't hurting the dog or teasing it, he wasn't even touching the dog. The father witnessed the whole thing and saved his sons life because he would have been killed.
It says in the book, the dog was loving and never so much as growled at the kids, even when the son tugged on his ears when he first started to walk as a baby and he gently held the dogs tail. There was NO indication the dog was mean or that the boy ever hurt him or abused him.

Well technically speaking it is pretty reckless to get a mongrel stray into your house and let it be with your new born children. You never know where it came from, what life it lived and what breed was involved. From my experiences, of course some (I mean also dogs of pure breed) are very grateful and feel important. Some keep running away. Some are something else. For instance- my friend, there is a few dogs at their place and all are mongrel strays, however one is a little outstanding, since it's most of the time polite (also kind of a pain in the ass) but it happened a few times that for whatever reason it started being aggressive like hell. When it once got in a fight with another dog, in all the insanity it wouldn't care if the owner who tried to separate them ended up with an openly broken arm (of course it was reckless of the owner to do shit like that but dogs usually prevent such things when it comes to their owner). You know that kind, right?
But when you mindfully choose a dog (a female, since it's, after all, more delicate and patient with freaking CHILDREN) of a protective breed since it's little and you know their parents and that they lived a good life, and if you raise it properly, you can let them be together with no worries...

Here the actor does a great job by depicting a completly simplistic character that compares black people to dogs and that says that both of them if given trust will one day attack because thats their nature, we know that he was wrong when he said that about coffey(because we end up knowing the truth of coffeys case) and i think he is wrong about the dog too, i believe that something happened before the dog attacked the boy that he doesnt know, maybe the boy was doing something cruel to him( and the boy never told anyone) or what mostlikely happened is that it was rabid(wich is not rare when you live in the country side specially in those years) but this man being how he is never really intended to find out, neither with coffey neither with his dog, he just assumed it was because they were "dogs" and "black people", never seeking the truth.

That dog bit his eye out because he was probably bothering it. Kids are assholes😂😂😂

[@ValKob]

Yeah lol

[@brush5004]

Yeah being kind of irritated totally justifies him biting the kid’s eye out. Moron.

Sweet mongrel

That poor kid😢

Aside from finding out that John had no prior record, this scene is pointless. It’s meant to put doubt in the audience’s mind about John’s innocence, but that doubt is based on racism. It’s a manipulative tool.

[@johnkloosterman6277]

It serves several roles. One, it shows that they do investigate legal means of proving John's innocence--which correspondingly shows that John wasn't just railroaded into jail, there was a strong case against him. It also, as you say, adds to John's mystery by saying he seemed to come out of nowhere, but there's also a way it contributes to the horror of the story.
The lawyer sees the point of his story as being that dogs and negros cannot be trusted. But it's worse than that. The point is that *no one* and *nothing* can be trusted. People can turn on a dime and do the most horrible and senseless acts for no reason--as Wild Bill does, as Percy does. The lawyer is, in fact, summarizing the darkness at the heart of the novel, which is that people are just ugly to each other in ways that can't be foreseen or defended against. Violence and tragedy strike out of nowhere.
It's a fact too horrible for even the lawyer to contemplate, so he hides behind the assumption that only dogs and negroes are this way. But again, as Wild Bill and Percy show, the truth is that anyone can be this way.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem had her reasons for shooting her hunting dog.

Anyone else reminded of the scorpion and the fox fabel?

[@Sparrowly1]

Yeah see Travis was right!

[@markpippin5437]

In the book, the dog even licked the boy as a newborn. Now, who would let a dog lick a newborn baby like that? That's nasty.

[@horrorcide13]

Licked his hand, not his face. 🤦

And the dad prob didn’t see his son aggravating the dog smfh

[@kevnwarriner8819]

Exactly, I have a British Staffordshire Bull Terrier, it's protective of me, my wife and children, but there was one Boy who lived down the street from us and my eldest boy used to bring the dog in before this neighbours boy came around, he'd never tell me why till one particular day the dog was in the front yard (well fenced in) and the little swine was throwing rocks at that dog for no reason, so I snuck around the side of the house and caught him at it so I took him down home and his Father went ballistic at him, couldn't stop apologising to me and told him that he was grounded until he learned that Animals weren't to be mistreated and knocked about, they are living things that have feelings and because they Bite and he didn't want somebody's dog being put to sleep for his fault, a couple of months later they sent their boy to Anger management and some place that teaches them how to behave around pets and that was about ten years ago, I still have the dog although he's 12 years old my son is 20 and his "friend" is a much better person and is training to become a Veterinary Nurse who wants to be Vet eventually, he also apologised to me, the family and the dog who seems to have forgiven him but wouldn't turn his back on him for a long time...

[@christopherbostic4429]

Wait wait wait they used 2 different actors for his character? In the flash back it’s William Sadler but now it’s the Gorest Gump actor

[@eblackadder3]

Sadler was the girls' father; Sinise was Coffey's attorney.

[@22CaptainAmerica]

what happened to the boy's eye?

The mongrel dog ripped it off.

If that happens there will be no future, only a big pile of mud

LT Dan is always right. Wise words.

[@nemo9343]

I always imagine Gary playing 'Doc Holiday' in both 'TOMBSTONE & WYATT EARP' - Chilling.
Especially given his accent in this movie.

[@Thepateisgreat]

The kid was def doing something horrible to the dog

[@WestLegend03]

I don't think so. The dog must have been horribly treated before and probably misinterpreted some childish behavior/gesture from the kid... he acted on instinct and so did the father.

[@Eric.1I37]

You obvious never seen all the stories of pit bulls maiming or killing children, kids 3,4, 5, 6.
The child is no real threat to a grown pit bull and almost every other breed of dog understands children like that don't know better and retreat or have incredible restraint, the same way they would be with their own puppies.
But pit bulls and even some other mixed breeds, flip out, they over react and literally kill for minor transgression or nothing at all.
Many breeds of dog should never be kept as pets or around family environments.
Pitbulls were breed to be fighting dog and extremely aggressive, they are not meet to be around families or kids.
Mutts are similar, you don't know their mix and you have no idea how they will react under certain stress.
I rather deal with a pure wolf as a friend/team member(they are never pets) than a pitbull. They are literally more restrained, understanding, and waaaay more intelligent.
This guy may not be right about Coffee, but he is right as a general rule of thumb, about safety.
His mistake, and I am sure he feels guilty about it, was keeping a mutt(unknown) around children.

[@davidmartinez3272]

Lt. Dan, I've come to talk you about something...

[@bastianbasoalto4382]

All of the actions of a dog depend on how it was raised and a well educated dog would never do something like that, for me it doesnt make sense, that a well behave dog ( supposedly it never had bite before so i assume it was well educated) that was so loving and caring(the same way the family loved and cared for him) would attack so viciously the boy, out of the blue. Here the actor does a great job by depicting a completly simplistic character that compares black people to dogs and that says that both of them if given trust will one day attack because thats their nature, we know that he was wrong when he said that about coffey(because we end up knowing the truth of coffeys case) and i think he is wrong about the dog too, i believe that something happened before the dog attacked the boy that he doesnt know, maybe the boy was doing something cruel to him( and the boy never told anyone) or what mostlikely happened is that it was rabid(wich is not rare when you live in the country side specially in those years) but this man being how he is never really intended to find out, neither with coffey neither with his dog, he just assumed it was because they were "dogs" and "black people", never seeking the truth.
