    My favorite story from this film is during Michael Clark Duncan's last conversation with Tom Hanks character he said normally actors when they not on-screen they have the day off. He said that Tom on his days off came to set and sat with him during his speech and gave an Oscar-worthy performance without the cameras being on him. He said that was the sign of not a true actor but a true human to just sit and be present and helped him deliver such an emotional performance.

    Both films (Shawshank Redemption & The Green Mile) clearly show what it's like when a great story is in the hands of a director who takes his time. Which gives the viewer time to identify with the characters, to like them or to hate them. Above all, it gives the viewer time to feel emotionally connected to the whole thing. Because only then follows one of the viewers to the end. I come from Germany. So the text comes from the Google translation.

    Fun facts: Michael Clarke Duncan (John Coffey) and David Morse (Brutal Howell) are only an inch different in height (6'5 and 6'4 respectively), so they had to film David Morse always slightly behind MCD to hide the difference.
    The tallest Oscar nominee is James Cromwell (Warden) at 6'7, but the tallest Oscar winner is Tim Robbins (Andy from Shawshank) at 6'4.

    As mentioned, a mouse lives about two years. A human lives about 80 years. If Mr. Jingles was 60 years old at the contemporary time when this movie takes place, that's 30 times longer than a typical mouse's lifespan. 30 times 80 is 2400 years...!
    ...Although Tom Hanks' character looks kinda grey and wrinkly already, I don't suppose he actually will be forced to live THAT long. Ugh!
    Amazing movie, even though it is long, it totally doesn't feel like 3+ hours. Fabulous actors too. Sam Rockwell for example, you see him here, then in Iron Man 2 or Galaxy Quest, and consider that it's the same guy. Supremely versatile and skilled actor. (Also likes to dance on screen...)

    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 vegan 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. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan (RIP). They used planks, a smaller bed and smaller chair along with trick photography to make John taller.
    11 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.
    12. Now we know what the "day old is fine" dry toast is for.

    Yup. Green Mile is over 3h long and scares a lot of reactors, but I think most people can agree: It doesn’t feel like a 3h movie! The script, storytelling and the supernatural twist keeps us glued to the screen.

    The Green Mile is an awesome movie! There was a time that telling a story and telling it good was important in movies. Another gut wrenching movie that tells a story. A horrific story, is Schindler’s List. Just tears at your soul to witness and know the truth behind it.

    Michael Clarke Duncan (John Coffey) is 6'5", James Cromwell (the warden) is 6'7" tall. So yes, they photographed John Coffey to make him look like more of a giant than he was.

    This was filmed at the old Riverbend Maximum Security Prison just outside of Nashville. In the late '80''s, as teens, me & my cousin got arrested smoking weed at the wave pool & we both got community service & had 2 tour this prison when it was still open. The inmates didn't really leave a big impression, but Old Sparky did! The real execution chamber was different. U had 2 walk outside of death-row & n2 a small 2-room brick building. In the 1st room was a concrete slab 4 the body & on the other side of the partition was the electric chair. It had been a while since they used it, but it smelled really weird. It had no air conditioning & was the middle of summer, & made me nauseous! I felt like I was in hell!😅 A friend of mine's dad was an extra in this. He played a guard. I watched it when it 1st came out, & NEVER need 2 c it again!

I really miss movies like this. 90ies movies have something special about them. «Dances With Wolves» is another one of these special movies you ask at the end of the video.

    Just a few things to think about. The mouse still being alive is the equivalent of Paul living to be about 2000 years old. How long had John been walking the face of the Earth? He has seen the whole world and would have had to travel by horse and foot the whole time. John's initials being JC are not a coincidence.

You’re doing a great job, keep being yourself and I’m blessed to be watching along with your journey! I don’t know if you take suggestions from the comments or not but, there’s three films I think you would enjoy… “Patch Adams” , “A Beautiful Mind” & “Steel Magnolias” Hope you have a blessed day, and continue touching hearts with each of your reviews! 💕

    around 4,375 yrs. Wow....

    I saw a documentary about how they made the film. Many times, when you read the script for the first time, you read it as yourself and develop the character afterwards. But the cast was so strong that many did it in character from the beginning.

  • @soulfullginger88

    This is one of the greatest movies ever made! The 90's and early 00's cranked out some of the best movies out there. At that time Spielberg and Hanks were the power duo of the industry with movies like this one, Saving Private Ryan, and the Band of Brothers miniseries. If you haven't already seen them, I highly recommend Schindler's List, Gladiator, and the Band of Brothers miniseries. They are all award winning films from the same era!

  • @ashleyshayday1526
    @ashleyshayday1526 2 года назад

    To answer your question on what movie John is watching before his is executed. He is watching the movie called "TOP HAT".
    Here is the synopsis of that movie...
    The story centers on wealthy Dale Tremont (Ginger Rogers), on holiday in London and Venice. She assumes that American entertainer Jerry Travers (Fred Astaire) is the husband of her friend Madge (Helen Broderick) -- who's actually the wife of Jerry's business manager Horace Hardwick (Edward Everett Horton).
    The song CHEEK TO CHEEK is a super memorable song even if you've never seen the film.
    I think in a episode of I Love Lucy Ricky dances and sings it to Lucy.
    I think it was a wedding anniversary episode.
    Anyway I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy all of your reactions I have seen so far.
    You are one of my favorite reactors..
    I find you putting a smile to my face with your big beautiful tender compassionate heart and kind personality.
    I love to see a man not be afraid to show emotion and this movie surely does pull it out of you and many of us who watched it..
    I cried so hard when I first watched this film.
    And I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
    Your family is so blessed to have you.
    I don't personally know any man such as yourself who is tender hearted and just so sweet and down to earth yet so funny as well.
    You have an infectious laugh. One that each time you laugh I too get so tickled so as much as I love the drama filled movies, I also would love to see you react to also more comedies because your laugh is something I hope to hear in each reaction.
    You make a bad day suddenly better.
    I can escape in your reactions and see movies I watched as a kid when it was brand new that you are just now discovering.
    And to see you watch it for the first time takes me back to the tike I first watched it and how I felt.
    And some movies I watched as a kid or teen I can go back and catch something new I didn't notice before
    I'm a huge fan of movies, music and books
    And there are so many wonderful movies I hope that makes it in your reaction channels.
    Especially some of the movies based on true stories.
    Have you seen JUST MERCY?
    I'd gave to go over and check what else you've already seen.
    Do you take requests HERE in your comment section?
    I'm not sure what I'd your top favorite kind of movie. But I do infact have a large range of movies I like both new and old and wvwn old classic back in my Grandmother or mother's day that I love.
    And I hope you will discover those too.
    Now 80s and 90s movies and then 2000s movies hood a ton of my favorite films.
    But I have an old soul and appreciate older movies.
    Even some older films like Imatation of Life.
    There is another movie not many people I know who have seen it that is called BACKSTREET. There is a 1950s version in black and white and a re-make colored version that cane out in the 1970s both versions was good and had some slight changes.
    It Happen One night starring Clark Gable is a black and white film but it is very good. It's an opposites attract romance.
    Clark Gable was amazing in this film. Though I will forever adore him in Gone With the Wind.
    I'm obsessed with Gone with the Wind.
    I collect figures and dolls and music box's for it. I even went to the Gone with the wind museum in Jonesboro Georgia and loved it.
    And I also love older musicals like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Oklahoma and then Sound of Music and South Pacific which are my top 4 favorite older musicals that even my husband enjoyed watching with me. And he's 42 years old and is very picky about musicals and some older films in that genre.
    I'm very picky about musicals as well and I prefer the older classics.
    I love the acting more so both back then and into the 90s.
    It has to be REALLY GOOD.
    But I was highly impressed with the remake Steven Spielberg did for WEST SIDE STORY.
    Though I love the original I did like alot of parts of the new remake even better.
    And guess what.
    I've heard rumors that they are making a remake of one of ny top favorite 80s movies which is Back to the Future starring Tom Hallon who played the newer Spider man.
    I can't wait!
    Speaking of Spider man.
    I hope you will watch all the Spider man based on the release date.
    There are 3 spider man movies Toby Maguire was in.
    He was the first Spider Man which was my top favorite.
    Then there was Andrew Garfield as Spider man.
    And then Tom Holland.
    Then there's one way yiu night consider watching those...
    While Spidey isn’t mentioned in the first “Venom” film, he does appear in a post-credits scene in “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” which could be a possible teaser to the two comic book rivals/reluctant teammates’ futures and brings Venom into the MCU. And even though it doesn’t feature a live-action Wall Crawler, “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” is also included in this list because it’s not only an amazing film but brilliantly explores the multiverse that will come to have a major impact on the Spidey franchise.
    So if you’re looking to watch the “Spider-Man” movies in order of release, here’s your lineup:
    Spider-Man (2002) Toby Maguire
    Spider-Man 2 (2004) Toby Maguire
    Spider-Man 3 (2007) Toby Maguire
    The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) Andrew Garlfield
    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) Andrew Garfield
    Captain America: Civil War (2016)
    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Tom Holland
    Venom (2018)
    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
    Avengers: End Game (2019)
    Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Tom Holland
    Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Tom Holland.
    I love all kinds of movies not just musicals, drama, romance marvel but also westerns and sci fi and horror and comedy.
    I wish we had a way to email you all of our top favorite movies that we think you would enjoy.
    My husband and I also enjoy watching Outlander together.
    I love the books and tv show.
    It's kind of like each season of Outlander is based on each book in nynber sequence cause there are allt of books.
    So each season is based on the next book that cane out.
    However they may decide to mash some things up.
    I can't wait till season 7 comes out.
    It's got romance, action and adventure and breath taking views.
    I think you would enjoy it.
    The first 4 seasons was my favorite.
    Another show hubby and I watch together is Yellowstone.
    Now I saw the yellowstone prequel called 1883 and it was AMAZING!
    And it stars Country music stars who are also husband and wife rim McGraw and Faith Hill and the amazing actor who I loved even as a kid Sam Elliot. I loved Sam in the 1987 western called The Quick and the Dead. And the 1985 film called mask based on a true story starring also the singwr Cher. I watched a real life interview of Rockys mother and she confirmed how alot of everything in that movie really did happen. It's an amazing story that also breaks your heart. It's a must see film
    Sam Elliot was also great in the movie tombstone starring also big time actors Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp, Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday, Bill Paxfon as Morgan Earp and Sam Elliot ads Virgil Earp.
    While in Jonsboro Georgia I also visited a house that Doc Holliday visited before he went out west.
    Have you heard the true story of Wyatt Earp?
    Other films come to mind Enemey mine, Fly
    CLOUDS on Disney plus, Still Believe, I Can Only Imagine.
    Facing the Giants. Blind Side, Overcome.
    GLADIATOR, Braveheart, Patriot.
    A Star is Born lady gaga and Bradley Cooper.
    Shape of Water, Good Will Hunting
    INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, The old and new IT MOVIES
    Flashdance was one of my mothers and mine favorite movies to watch together including Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride and Conspiracy Theory.
    National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is a great comedy for the holidays. And Christmas Story, White Christmas, it's A wonderful Life.
    Almost Heros starring the late funny Chris Farley from Saturday Night Live is one of mine and my hubby's fav movies of his.
    Money Pit also starring Tom Hanks has some comedy in it.
    I also liked Tom Hanks in Apollo 13, Big, Splash, and his Mr Rogers movie.
    I know what you did last summer 1 and 2.
    Scream, Halloween, Pet Semetary the older version.
    Children of the Corn, Poltergeist.
    THE SHINING AND THE SEQUEL TO IT called DR SLEEP.
    Village of the Damned. The one starring Kirsty Alley.
    The Parent Trap both the old Haley Mills version and the newer Lindsey Lohan version.
    Haley Mills movie Pollyanna is SO GOOD.
    FOREVER YOUNG, STEEL MAGNOLIA, FRIED GREEEN TOMATOES
    TITANIC, TROY, LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY, ALL THE STARS WARD TRILOGY INCLUDING MANDOLORIAN, AND OBI WAN KENOBI AND BOBO FETT ON DISNEY +.
    50 FIRST Date's & Blended, Just Go With It, Happy Gilmore Adam Sandler movies
    A little bit naughty teen movies my mama let me watch as a kid that still shocks me is Varsity Blues, and American Pie lol
    I could keep on telling you some awesome film's but perhaps you might consider some of these in the future. Lol
    I'm a huge movie buff.
    My husband and I have collected 1000s of movies new and old for our home theater.
