"I have mixed feelings about movie", I feel you. So many emotions. "Run, Forrest, run" I laughed so hard. Next accent: deep south.
Do you have a link of anyone using that accent so we can try it.
@@theloudguysmovies ruclips.net/video/0UKg1ec6lkQ/видео.html , here y'all go, bless your heart.
@@theloudguysmovies So this whole movie is set in the southern part of America. Specifically Georgia in the 1930s so their accent, is southern. Accept for Del who is cajun creole, which is a different southern dilectc in the state Louisiana. Creole combines English, French, African, and Native American language into one. If you notice Paul makes the comment "your English gets better when you want something" as a lot of people in small towns across Louisiana speak only creole. Love your channel ❤
When John Coffey punished Percy he also saved the patients at Briar Ridge from the abuse they would otherwise have suffered.
Never thought about that. You're right
Excellent point.
Watched this so many times, this viewing as Percy was being led in as a patient was the very 1st time that occurred to me, seeing how he treated those on the mile, his abuse of patients was assured
@@jeffturnbull9661 HI Jeff, here's a weird question. Are familiar with a teacher named Betty Turnbull?
I’ve seen this incredible movie countless times, and that never once occurred to me. What an amazing observation.
I was 10 years old when I first saw this movie. I didn't know English. I was supposed to go to school the next day. It was midnight. But I understood the movie . When John's death came. I cried like the kid I was. My dad came out his room and saw me there on the carpet looking at the TV crying. He just sat down next to me
Beautiful memory
“We each owe a death. There are no exceptions.” Such a powerful film. Great reaction!
Saying "these are the contaminants" is probably the best explanation of coffeys power. The stuff he releases. Great reaction.
The reason it came out of Percy was because he was already so full he couldn't hold any more.
Yeah, I’ve seen other reactions of this movie and they usually say they are flies or something. Contaminants is a much better explanation 👍🏻
They're not contaminants; they're demons. In Christian mythology, disease, injury, and death are caused by demons that God allows to afflict humanity as punishment for Adam and Eve's sins. John Coffey is Jesus Christ, whose mind has been destroyed by the weight of his sacrifice accepting punishment for all of mankind's sins but who still has the power to lay hands on the injured and remove their suffering by exorcising the demons afflicting them. The demons appear as insects because in Christian mythology, they are under the command of the demon prince Beelzebub, whose title is 'Lord of the Flies.'
The story is basically about Stephen King's experience with Evangelical Christianity as a child. It's much more explicit in the book than the movie.
It’s made a little clearer in the book, but Mr. Jingles the mouse wasn’t quite dead yet when John healed him. The two girls were too far gone, dead too long, when John found them which is why he failed.
Your reactions are great! You are bright and empathetic people!
He is so pure and innocent that he enjoys and appreciates the little things like smelling fresh leaves. something far too few people can do these days ☹️
I mean, Im allergic so I can't be touching them much less sniffing them
@@mestupkid211986 The prison guards gave John Coffee an antihistamine tablet before he went outside. That's why he didn't react badly to smelling the leaves as you and I do when we haven't taken our antihistamine and we start picking up leaves and smelling them deeply.
@@drServitis lol
@@mestupkid211986 In all seriousness though, I decided to pull the vine down that was growing on my fence not thinking it was dangerous and so I used no gloves. It turned out to be poison oak and man did I suffer afterwards. I even managed to transmit the poison from my hands to my privates when I went to the bathroom. Good god the TERRIBLE itching for days! Pure misery!
Interestingly enough what really helped was running the tap water as hot as I could tolerate on all the affected itching areas of my skin. I'm not sure why it helped, but it was as if it burned the poison away or something.
John had super-sized empathy. That's why it was not only a gift but also a curse, feeling the suffering with greater intensity was surely an ordeal that he eventually couldn't bear any longer. I really enjoyed your reaction, you make a great duo ;-)
Physical Empath.
You guys are so sweet. This movie takes place in 1932 or 1933. At that time, very few houses in the country had indoor bathrooms. People went to the toilet in an outhouse, usually at the back of the property. The only running water was in the kitchen. Bedrooms would have had a wash table with a pitcher of water and a basin for washing hands and face, and there would have been a chamber pot for relieving oneself at night. I live in a house that was built in 1920, or possibly earlier, in a small town in the country. This house did not have an indoor bathroom installed until around 1960.
In the early 1930s, there was no treatment for urinary tract infections because there were no antibiotics yet, so going to a different doctor wouldn't have helped. I don't know much about sulfa drugs, but if Tom Hanks' character was allergic to them, he couldn't take them.
Oh thanks for the info
I think Paul’s infection was the beginning of prostate cancer not just an infection, that why John felt it when they shook hands also
I think John just follows the course without knowing why, because he must feel that’s where he’s supposed to be even when it gets him in trouble
Both Green Mile and "The Shawshank Redemption" are Stephen King stories directed by Frank Darabont and about prison, so definitely do Shawshank next. But don't research it!! There may be spoilers that will ruin surprises in the movie. The Shawshank Redemption is considered by most to be even better than Green Mile. You'll both enjoy Shawshank a lot too!
6:59 The name of that move is "Top Hat" (1936) and is one of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers many musical comedies.
37:08 The "Cassie... lady in the rocking chair" John was referring to is the constellation Cassiopeia, located not too far from the North Star.
And when you're in for another scifi do "The Martian" (2015) someday, an excellent movie! 🖖😎
Greetings from France 🇫🇷, my mom always used to be a big fan of Stephen king and she was able to watch more than once this movie. Also rest in peace Duncan 🙏🏻🤍
Love you guys reactions.
It’s the family of victims that are there to see the prisoner die. They say goodbye to their own family the day before.
Your English swearing is hilariously accurate. I love both of your reactions. Very intuitive and honest. I'm going back to watch 300 next. Subbed!
❤️
Great observation about the flicker-show lighting looking like God or a halo. The song in the movie John watches is "I'm in Heaven" and John Coffey's initials are JC. Do you know another famous JC? This is a very biblical story.
You guys are great...love your genuine reactions and love for the films you watch.
I love how Stephen King has written stories in every type of genre there is - horror, supernatural, suspense, crime, science-fiction, drama, romance, true story, fantasy and who knows how many more.
it is implied in the original book that john could be about 200-300 years old and that paul could live to be at least 500-600+.
You two are a refreshing breeze of voices I cannot find anywhere!
I'm especially enthralled of her presence and reactions.
Sam Rockwell (Wild Bill) is a very versatile actor. I recommend seeing him in "Matchstick Men," "Moon," "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," and "GalaxyQuest" (the latter title after watching some original, classic "Star Trek" movies because it pays homage to that franchise and you will then understand the jokes).
Michael Clarke Duncan (John Coffey) is, sadly, no longer alive.
You guys are so cool, I really enjoy watching your movie reactions. I love the excitement you have and they are genuine reactions. If you’ve never seen “American history X” I’d like to see you both react to it. It is a movie about racism in the US and how one man overcomes the hate. It has a lot of views and is a great movie
They love to talk over every little thing. Excellent.
Great movie, but it's a bit brutal (pavement scene). My wife stopped watching at that point
Thank you for your reactions for this movie, it shows a very good heart in both of you, I look forward to more great movies together, this is fun, thank you!!
You guys are great and a great couple. May your family be healthy, wealthy, and happy for many decades to come.
Your reaction to this movie was insightful and entertaining. Thank you.
If you have time, I request you react to two amazing movies: Scent of a Woman and The Emperor's Club. Both are great coming of age empowering movies, especially for male development (but the lessons apply to all) The acting and drama are top notch and severely under-rated too.
Oh boy. Let the tears flow. This is probably one of my favorite movies and favorite book adaptations of all time. In the book, there is an orderly that works at the retirement home who bullies Paul. Paul hates him because he reminds him of Percy. That's why he keeps Mr Jingles as far from the retirement home as possible. Several of my top favorite movies stars Tom Hanks.
Great reaction guys! I love yalls reactions!
My goodness... This is one of my favorite movies of all time! 🥰
... and I'll say this...The actor that played "Percy Whittmore" is the TRUE definition of doing one's job TOO well! Lol! He knocked this performance out of the park. He reeeeally made you despise him... This character had absolutely ZERO redeeming qualities... and saying that Michael Clarke Duncan as "John Coffey" was simply magic (pun intended) is an understatement. The amount of phenomenal performances in this film was unprecedented. It was almost too much; a spoil of riches, as they say.
Wonderful reaction! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I just discovered your channel and I honestly was smiling the entire time watching the two of you view a film that is so very close to my heart. Be blessed. 💕
It is almost as if you two are doing a Tom Hanks marathon...so far tou've watched Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump and now the Green Mile. Which others do you plan to see? How about Cast Away, The Davinci Code, The Money Pit, Splash,...there are so many more to choose from!☺💚
Well, he did do a TON of movies in the 90s and 00s.
@@VeryCherryCherry And the 80's and the 2010's and so on...not sure what is your point?
@@spooniesworld That he's done so many movies, chances are pretty good that when they pick a classic movie, it'll have Tom Hanks in it.
I feel like you are assuming I'm trying to start a fight with you or something. I'm not.
I feel like the dog metaphor goes over a lot of people's heads. It's actually a good metaphor for psychological reasons. Essentially what he is saying is that just like animals, sometimes people can snap and do something bad with no logical reason whatsoever and there really isn't a way to explain or understand it.
while I believe this is true, we can't ignore that our society at that time was deep in the grips of white supremacy as a foundation of our laws and our dominant culture; this was the era of Jim Crow laws, a strong resurgence of the KKK, and movies of men in black face portraying black men as animalistic predators, specifically as rapists of white women. so a lawyer dehumanizing a black man to explain his presumed criminality as if it's practically to be expected is deeply culturally significant to the era
Never thought this metaphor was really going over any one’s head. It’s pretty straightforward, just as you described. I’d agree that scene/metaphor gets overlooked and is not remembered much in the grand scheme of the film more that anything.
Though it applies to your comments about Jenny, sometimes those of us who experience abuse as a child, create a self destructive nature where we will happily self harm with drink, substances and the rest, an attempt to self medicate, and Jenny knew that Forrest was so pure that she did not want to corrupt him with all the faults she felt about herself.
Though he loved her, she viewed herself as broken and unworthy of his pure love.
Agreed. "If you're born in a burning house,you grow up to think it's normal for the world to be on fire."
Glad to be one of the first to comment..... Maybe you guys pick up on it later in the movie... Dead man walking is an old term that refers to a man after his trial that is to sentenced to death being lead to his cell.
Good info. Was Percy over-doing it, though?
@@kwadwotuffour5529 Yes, yes he was.
@@kwadwotuffour5529 yes. Percy did overdo it. It was our first clue about how he loved to bully people that he had power over
"Why would you do that, fucking Percy?" That was great.
This is my first time to your channel, and I loved it. I'll definitely be checking out your previous reactions and sticking around for more. ^_^
The reason Paul didn't see a doctor about his UTI is that doctors couldn't really do anything about it in the mid-1930's. Antibiotics cure urinary infections lickety-split, but they weren't available until the 1940s.
I love how you catch most everything that is intended in the movie! You both have great insight!
Your reactions are incredibly entertaining to watch. Please do more.
One of my most favourite films and what a film it is.
One of those rare films that doesn’t come along very often.
Fantastic acting by the whole cast, even though the film was around 3hrs long it didn’t feel like it as the film was exciting from beginning to end.
An emotional film but so good.
I love when you said Percy was the governor's niece! Lol!
I remember you saying she likes scary films. Well, welcome to the beautiful mind of Stephen King. An incredible writer.
enjoyed your reaction-one of my all time favorite moves. Saw it when it first came out in 1999 and was blown away.
You guys are awesome. I'm sure you'll have a swarm of good movie ideas from the community so enjoy them all!
Thank you for reacting to another of my favorite movies.
Del: "I'm sorry for what I do"(did)
Coffey: "I'm sorry for what I am."
Del: "I'd give anything if I could take it back, but I can't."
Coffey: "I tried to take it back, but it was too late."
Just a couple thoughts for you. The mouse living that long is the equivalent of Paul living for about 2000 years, and on that thought, John had probably been walking the Earth for thousands of years himself. He has traveled all over the world mostly in a time before cars were commonplace, that is how he knows how things are all over the world.
When a person is executed...it used to be that the victims & their families were allowed to view it to see justice served. The jurors of their trial(s), the judge, the court reporter, the families of the person being executed, and if it was very high profile, newspaper reporters would be there. It WAS a kind of twisted, macabre theatre once upon a time.
Yelling "Kill him kill him" when Percy was getting beat up was hilarious to me lol.
your reaction to Percy was well worth watching this reaction. I'm in my early 50's and he is in my top 5 hated characters in any movie.
Yes he should be!
the actor's personal relationship choices add fuel to my overall hatred of Percy.
It's going to make your head explode when you figure out what John coffee knows about Wild Bill
Lmao “he’s the governors niece” he’s actually the governors nephew, niece is a female and nephew is a male. Tons of love from the US my Indian brothers and sisters.
But Percy had no testicles or penis, so maybe Parbrahm was right after all, lol!
Naw, I agree, he's definitely a niece
Had the governor been his uncle, Percy would be a nephew. But it’s actually the governor's _wife_ who’s his aunt, therefore Percy’s a niece. 🤔
@@rickardroach9075 wrong
@@rickardroach9075 no, it's the gender of the person, not of their parent. Because Percy himself is male, it will always be nephew
Dale was slow in the head. Had the mind of a child. He knew he did something very bad, but he couldn't understand the concept of death. He even said once that after his execution, could he go back in his cell with his mouse. He didn't understand that after he was executed he'd be dead.
I'm so glad I found this channel. Great video, I can't wait to watch more! Thanks.🙂
I am a new viewer and happy to subscribe. Thank you for such an enjoyable time watching the film with you both.
Some info about Drs in the 1930s. They wouldnt tell even the wife about her own tumor, only the husband at that time in american society. The husband was responsible for disseminating that info to the family.
and "antibiotics' werent widely available yet, so going to the dr for a simple urinary tract infection was pretty useless, you just were better riding the infection out
Schindler list, Shawshank redemption, the Exorcist. Love this channel. Keep up the great work!
People think Indians cannot lose their accent when speaking English but Indians speak it really well and clear. It just sounds funny to us because we are lazy with our words and Indians are not
IE. YOUR ANNUNCIATION IS PERFECT !
Trying to do an American or British accent requires you to
"SLUM" it a little bit !!!!!!!!!!!
300, Forest Gump, and Green Mile all back to back...WOW! Might as well do Gladiator now to get all the very best films checked off the list. JoJo Rabbit is another very different, but great film.
Everyone should watch Jojo Rabbit. It's such an unexpected but insightful commentary on the nature of certain ideologies.
It wasn't until 1937 that the first antibiotic (sulfanilamide) that could treat urinary tract infections became available. Prior to that, there wasn't a whole lot doctors could do for you. Either your body eventually healed itself or you died. Your chances were about 50/50.
You can’t explain his powers. They are a gift from a higher power.
Great reaction guys! Keep up the amazing work!
You guys are awesome. Thank you for making these videos. 👍
"Dead man walking" is meant to express that the man in question has been sentenced to death -- so he is a "dead man." This could be used to suggest to others to be careful around this person.
Interesting bit of trivia: If we take the life of Mr. Jingles as an example who lived about 32 times longer than a typical mouse (64 years vs 2), then Paul should live past the year 4000. Stephen King (the author of this) has said that John Coffey's initials are a clue about who and what he really is. This movie follows the book very closely. One of the best adaptations ever.
Awesome to see this reaction channel picking up traction. You make a great couple, love from Wales.
I just found your channel, and I am enjoying your reactions. You should watch The Shawshank Redemption. It's another movie based on a novel by Stephen King and directed by Frank Derabont.
dude, love you reading comments directly from the phone. 👍🏼
Thank you for reacting to this film. I absolutely love your reactions and commentaries. 😃❤💯 By the way, your English accent is very good. 👏👍
Awesome reaction much love from 🇬🇧
you guys are really great. You seem very genuine and have a great attitude
The answer the confusion about the bag over the face, it was a chance that when being electrocuted the persons eyes could pop out. The bag kept that covered for some semblance of decency for what may happen to the persons face.
"He's damaging the property!" lol Thanks for the reaction! 👍
At an execution you would also have reporters etc. Also in the Southern US it is traditional manners to say yes ma'am no ma'am yes sir....
This was a great movie. Many Blessings to you two. Love your channel ❤️
27:50 - They were dead too long. The mouse was freshly dead. The SOUL was still there.
32:49 instant classic! 🤣🤣🤣
"Yes! Yes! Kill him! Kill him!"
"Why is he stopping?!"
I’m a new subscriber and I really enjoy you guys reaction videos❕
I wish you had shown when John Coffey told Paul (Tom Hanks) that he felt all the ugliness in the world, all the time and it was like glass in his brain, he was tired. THAT was an IMPORTANT little speech that shows you why he was Ok with being executed, even though he was innocent. Since you have already watched "FORREST GUMP" I was surprised that you didn't recognize Gary Sinise (who was LIEUTENANT DAN in FORREST GUMP) playing the man Tom Hanks went to see, sitting on the porch, and who defended John Coffey. Great reaction guys!!
"He's the governor's niece." LOL
Really glad I found you guys. I really enjoy watching your reactions (and an Indian accent is my favorite!) Keep up the good work,
Quote of the year: "Percy is a little bitch!" I love it!
After watching literally hundreds of movie reactions it has become clear to me, particularly in this video, that reactionary commentary , while mandatory, is by function, a serious immersion breaker (for the reactors). I can't think of how else to explain how people can watch movies like this and not cry like a baby.
It's either that or people have hearts of stone. But refuse to believe that.
Yeah it can be the case sometimes.
@@theloudguysmovies At least you guys don't reduce yourselves to fake-crying just to rack up views. Apparently there is a real market for that. Maybe, coincidentally, all these fake-cry reactors have no tear ducts and so can't produce tears. What are the odds of that?
@@theloudguysmovies . React to " Conan The Barbarian " from 1982..I know it's off the topic only I think both of you buds will like it..great music..great film location..great acting..even with flaws..its the best sword and sorcery film..no CGI for the most part..and real stunts..it's Arnold's breakthrough movie and my personal favorite of his movies..forget the other fantasy sword and dragons movies..even with some being good they just don't compare with it
"Dead Man Walking" referring to that cell block is DEATH ROW. Every prisoner is scheduled for execution.
The one thing about them not noticing the missing ater is: they rehearse without the water. And they have more rehearsing's then actual execution. So yes, they should have, but it seems an easy thing to miss.
I never comment, but I love watching with you, I am Aborish, part aboriginal part Irish, I love your reactions ❤
One of my favorite movies. Thanks for reacting!
Just suggested this on saving private ryan reaction, cant wait to watch later
ya'll are so damn adorable, new favorite reactors! didn't see if ya'll noticed that Wild Bill was being played by the same actor who played Hammer in the Iron Man movies. he's such an incredible actor. keep killin' it! may i suggest my favorite movie of all time, The Princess Bride. most perfect movie ever made.
Oh didn't notice that!
Hi Reactors 👍🏼 THX for a wonderful reaction on (the green mile) You 2 are really good reactors ❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️
I'm so glad you loved this movie! It's one of my favourite movie ever!! Wahtching Delocroix dying always scare the shit out of me!
Fan fact: Frank Darabont born as Darabont Ferenc, bis parents emigrated from Hungary. So he's actually hungarian. (Like me😊)
She should speak in her "American" accent all of the time. It doesn't sound American, but it softens the shrill tones of her natural accent and makes her easier to understand.
Instant fan! Thank you for a different cultural reaction!
1. YOU WILL CRY
2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production, so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie".
3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. (most likely a racial thing. It was 1935.)
4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row.
5. This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Cast but unfortunately neither won.
6. Players in other King adaptations: Jeffery DeMunn: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist,
Storm of the Century and William Sadler: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist. David Morse:
The Langoliers.
7. Goof: Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream.
8. IRL James Cromwell is a vegetarian and didn't want to grill meat for the BBQ scene but
was told that in 1935 people actually ate meat so he agreed to have some on the grill.
9. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. BTW Kudos to Doug Hutchison for the great job of being Percy.👌
10. A little fun fact: Toot Toot the trustee is played by Harry Dean Stanton.(RIP) The other guards' names are Harry Terwilliger/Jeffery DeMunn
and Dean Stanton/Barry Pepper.
11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan (RIP). They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography to make John taller.
12 The scene where John takes Mr. Jingles for safe keeping before Del's execution they used a real mouse and it pooped on Paul's shoulder and he brushed it off.
13. Now we know what the "day old is fine" dry toast is for.
14 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced
the GREATEST MOVIE EVER.
15. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!
Apollo 13 and Castaway are also great Tom Hanks movies.
and FYI ya'lls accents are just fine, as long as we can tell what you say we are good, dont worry about trying to sound "american" it would just sound unnatural. I like that ya'll sound "different" than other reactors
Agreed. This is the first and only review I've seen from this channel, but I like that it's from a distinctly non-American perspective. I already know what Americans think of the movie! Hearing about it from a different culture and in a different accent is a big part of the appeal, to me.
I've been really enjoying ypur reactions, I started with your Star Wars videos. And an A for effort with the american accent attempt...but there are many accents in the U.S.A. that people sometimes forget about. For example my home state, Oregon, is the accent most used/emulated in our T.V. news but other dialects sound very different like Bostonians or Texans. Keep up the great reactions you two. Sending love and success from Oregon.☺💚
Thank you😊
Families are invited to their relation's execution but I think they seldom attend. The witnesses of the execution are usually relatives of the victims AND local and state officials in the prison system. The timeframe of the movie is just a bit before antibiotics were widely available, so Paul had to suffer with his urinary tract infection. John is a child of nature, hence his happiness when smelling the handsfull of leaves and grass and seeing the constellation Cassiopeia (John says, "Cassie"). And John is most certainly NOT an imbecile, is he.
Got to remember that this time era you can't just get up and go to a doctor and we have antibiotics to stop infections now
Love this reaction.
Its a tuff beautiful movie to get through....great reaction!!
Love you both!!!!
If I recall, executions required witnesses to make sure the accused was in fact put to death
Nice reaction video:
You are lovely
great reactin, thanks. Greats from germany
Hey Peter, where's Louis?
