For everyone in that room it was a simple and beautiful song for Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) it was a sad and painful reminder of the only innocent man (John Cofey [Michael Clarke Duncan )that he was forced to execute on death row because of false accusations against him
ralf tammiste no you’re wrong, It’s the film they show John before he’s excited, he’s crying because it’s reminded him of John, have you even seen the movie?
It's incredible how they made this film. The first time I watched it I didn't understand why he was crying. The second time I almost cried when the music started playing.
The other seniors are smiling because they remember happy things of the past, Paul’s crying because it reminds him of his guilt in executing John Coffey even though John said it’s him doing a kind thing so he wouldn’t have to suffer.
@@Grimmjow19872 Did you see the movie? He saw that movie before John Coffey's execution and he cries because he wishes he never let an innocent man dying on the electric chair
*I watch the movie and sob* *50 years latter* Grandkids: GRANDPA GRANDPA what is this movie called green mile? Me: shut up and turn on the dvd player. *smiles* your about to watcha perfect movie
50 years from now. My great grandchildren are going to ask me a lot like why were people obsessed with K Pop or why were most of the rappers were coming from SoundCloud.
Remember, Paul offered to throw open the gates and let John go. Job and future be damned. It was John who couldn't take it anymore, despite being afraid of the dark.
Seeing the seniors enjoy and smile; is enough to make me smile with an emotional hint... Like they've must've seen and or heard this song (and film) many years ago when they were young... that's what makes the thought so nostalgic... even for them.
I've been hearing this song in an advert lately and it's had this weird uneasy nostalgia feeling about it. I couldn't figure out where I'd heard it before, I've just googled it and now it all makes sense
I watched all the Fred Astaire movies before watching The Green Mile, couldn't get the song out of my head so decided to re-watch all the Fred/Ginger movies (most notably Top Hat of which I have now done 2 essays on).
I'm at the very end of the book, I like the movies structure and changes better but man King is one of the greatest writers of all time. Everyone says hes the king of horror but I don't view much of his work as horror. Like I just reread IT as a grown man and theres alot of heart and souls in that book as with much of his other work.
About 15 years ago i first watched this movie. And I couldn't really understand this scene and why the Gentleman was crying on such a blissful moment. Im now 35 and theres things from my teen years songs that when i really get to thinking of what year that came out in. Music/songs/Artists I use to create a timeline for my periods in my life. I once had a couple come up to my counter at work (gas station) and make a comment about how long ago that song came out. And as I kindly chimed in and said it was released in 1997.I also said Don't ask how I know with a smile and that look of 🙄🤷 shame. Her Husband replied are you sure? As he thought it might have been 1998 as they were unsure figuring it amongst themselves. If your curious about who and what song it was because I was ashamed to admit I knew that much like a fan would. Natalie Imbruglia's song-Torn. It played every morning that year on VH1's POP UP video top 10 count down before I had to leave to catch the school bus for 6th grade.
I didn't realize it before but it wasn't exactly the movie that brought him back it was the fact John was repeating "I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven" right before he was executed. It was that connection that brought him back and broke him.
I feel like this was like a 4th wall break kind of thing as well since it feels like this scene was telling us that we might end up like Paul where we cry our hearts out everytime we hear this song.
I thought he was crying because hes going to be alive for a very long time, and that his "curse" was growing old enough to watch his loved ones die,and him getting more tired and tired of the same day to day routine in a retirement home, much like im sure john coffey had to do in a jail cell.
The way the old folks looked at that old Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers scene is the way I look at movies from the 70s and 80s compared to today's garbage
Charlie Cheswick Actually I look at the old Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers films like this. There's just nothing like it, incredible beauty! ♡♡♡ I'm 27. :)
Apparently this song was in Boss Baby too and my 5 year old was watching it, I heard this song and ran into the room thinking she was watch The Green Mile
It sad he cannot watch the film he start to cry about his job kill the wrong person thank you for sharing your sad news about John Coffey is sad news about this show thanks
I consider the ending of this movie to be horror. So mr jingles has lived WAAAAAY longer than any mouse should. Now how long is Paul going to have to live? John might have given him eternal life BUT his body still ages like normal. Is his body going to rot slowly around him while his mind remains?
this scene is incredible
For everyone in that room it was a simple and beautiful song for Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) it was a sad and painful reminder of the only innocent man (John Cofey [Michael Clarke Duncan )that he was forced to execute on death row because of false accusations against him
You are wrong, He cried because he remembered this from song from his past as it is from the era he grew up in.
ralf tammiste no you’re wrong, It’s the film they show John before he’s excited, he’s crying because it’s reminded him of John, have you even seen the movie?
Actually old Paul was played by Dabbs Greer.
@@ralftammiste4574 You've clearly not seen the movie. Please go watch the movie before attempting to correct someone.
John of signing this before he's executed isn't it
It's incredible how they made this film. The first time I watched it I didn't understand why he was crying. The second time I almost cried when the music started playing.
Stephen King wrote the book

No he’s crying because this reminds him of his wife. Remember this song was playing when him and his wife was slow dancing
@@Grimmjow19872 Did you see the movie? He saw that movie before John Coffey's execution and he cries because he wishes he never let an innocent man dying on the electric chair
@@robertocazzaniga5548 why can't it be both?
@@chaddaddywarden4349 because I saw the movie
@@chaddaddywarden4349 no
This makes me cry, and it's one of the lesser sad moments in the movie.
Yes it is
same
My great grandparents used to dance 🕺 to this song 🎵 in their living room back in San Antonio Texas, when I was a kid, such a sweet memory for me ❤🎉
such a powerful scene
Dabbs Greer was amazing in this movie. He was not though 108 when he passed on. Rest in peace Mr Dabbs Greer.
Pretty sure most humans dont even reach 100 before they die
its insane how you understand everything in this scene after you watch the final execution
I love this film.
Imagine that you watch the 1990s - 2010s MV when you are old.
hahahaha we will watch Kim Kardashian and be like ":'("
*I watch the movie and sob*
*50 years latter*
Grandkids: GRANDPA GRANDPA what is this movie called green mile?
Me: shut up and turn on the dvd player. *smiles* your about to watcha perfect movie
SUB C nah, even at 90 I'd still say "CHANGE THAT POPPYCOCK" XD
I could see today’s twenty something year olds crying when La La Land appears on tv when they are in a retirement home sixty years from now lol
50 years from now. My great grandchildren are going to ask me a lot like why were people obsessed with K Pop or why were most of the rappers were coming from SoundCloud.

I cried at this scene so much
What a great song
Flashbacks gotta love em

The song is called "Cheek To Cheek" performed by Fred Astaire from the classic film Top Hat (1935).
Such a perfect way to start a movie
Dabbs Greer should've got an Oscar nomination for this performance.
So sad.
I always hear this song. But on december 30th 2015 i started crying. I didin't mean to.
I'm a kid and the green mile was so great best .ovie
One of the greatest movies of all time
,,I am in heaven"
I'm here after listening Kim Taehyung version of I'm in heaven "le jazz de V" 💜
This is the only movie that makes me cry 🥺
I watched all the Fred Astaire movies before watching The Green Mile, couldn't get the song out of my head so decided to re-watch all the Fred/Ginger movies (most notably Top Hat of which I have now done 2 essays on).
Me either Carl its embedded in my brain. I love the song and it was out long before I was around
2021! Still watching the movie 🍿🎥 love this scene
I’ve read the book and seen the movie
I'm at the very end of the book, I like the movies structure and changes better but man King is one of the greatest writers of all time.

Congratulations
Truly touching...
Trust me when I watched this first time without knowing the story I almost cried at this scene. Brilliant actor
Finally saw the movie, now i know how this lovely song become sadness melody.
Dancing and music and light and tears of joy
This scene is out of the world.
This scene broken My heart!

Watch the movie and you will find out why he's crying
The green mile its on Netflix
"I aint never seen me a flicker show" 😭😭😭😭
V i got you 💜😅❤ I'm in heaven any BTS army is here

That one song that brings back al the memories 🥲
That's so beautiful. 😌
You're mine
God what a movie
everyone else probably remembered the song from their childhood, he was 44 when he had last heard this.
I once watched Top Hat with my Grandpa (who kinda looked like Paul), and he was also smiling at the dancing scene, even signing along to it.
I remembered hearing this in The Boss Baby. Very nostalgic.
Master piece movie green mile
So sad, i love this song but it reminds me of this movie and the innocent John💔
I love both the movies shown in this
I feel like this was like a 4th wall break kind of thing as well since it feels like this scene was telling us that we might end up like Paul where we cry our hearts out everytime we hear this song.
I just watched that movie so sad
I can't with this movie ;-;
0:30 and the cares that hung around me through the week seem to vanish like a gamblers lucky streak
Я плачу когда слушаю эту песню,сама не знаю почему...
It reminds him of john coffey because when john was in the electric chair, he was whispering "im in heaven, im in heaven"
I thought he was crying because hes going to be alive for a very long time, and that his "curse" was growing old enough to watch his loved ones die,and him getting more tired and tired of the same day to day routine in a retirement home, much like im sure john coffey had to do in a jail cell.

this scene probely reminded him of when john was saying heaven a few times before he died
The whole movie made me 😭
If you really think about it, the older songs are better then our trash music right now..
agreed
So true
1920s to 1960s are the greatest generations of music my friend.

Poor mr. Paul😢

It cuts you so deep inside this hurts me
Not gonna lie. I started crying too. Cuz is been a while since I listened to that song.
This scene💔
Here after listening to Kim Taehyung, Le jazz de V
Little did we know (unless one had read the book) about the emotional rollercoaster that was to follow.
Apparently this song was in Boss Baby too and my 5 year old was watching it, I heard this song and ran into the room thinking she was watch The Green Mile
This feeling is TOUGH!
Me gustaría seguir escuchando esta hermosa canción hasta que sea anciano
Cheek to Cheek: (Starts playing)
Paul: *(Vietnam War flashbacks)*
It's the scene from Top Hat (1935).
It sad he cannot watch the film he start to cry about his job kill the wrong person thank you for sharing your sad news about John Coffey is sad news about this show thanks
0:40 🥺😢😭
This is me when I watch coco
Why was he staring to cry?
That scene and song
כל כך יפה
Before this part as Paul is walking to chow, he tells another elderly man that that's better. Can anybody please tell me what he was talking about?
Hé never forgave himself

"Why, they's Angels. Angels, just like up in Heaven."

I didn't know Reverend alden was in this movie😟
This feels different after you've watched the movie
Who come here because V from BTS singing?

is the same song of the golden room in The Shining or all old music sounds alike?
Imagine this, but in 2065 with pop music.
What is the name of the song?
Cheek to cheek
Whos the singer?
Me irl
I consider the ending of this movie to be horror.
So mr jingles has lived WAAAAAY longer than any mouse should. Now how long is Paul going to have to live? John might have given him eternal life BUT his body still ages like normal. Is his body going to rot slowly around him while his mind remains?
Name of music plz
Cheek to cheek.
Cuz he and the mice.....lived for years while his buddies grew old and died....
John Coffey wanted to die because he saw Earth as a cruel world.
Name of the song?
Cheek to cheek
mr jingles agrees he is an old mousey now who is not a racist
What happened to the wife of the Chief that Coffee cured? He could have married her. She would have lived just as long.
