1:49 "why, they's angels, angels just like up in heaven " It's this scene and the scene where John Coffey held boss Edgecomb's hand for the last time that always makes me cry
This movie gets a lot of shit for the whole "Magical Negro" thing, but I stand by Michael Clarke Duncan. He took what could've easily been an offensive stereotype and made the character feel 100% genuine and human.
Well...it does fall into the Magic Negro troupe but it's one that's done right. For example, you have an idea why he has his power unlike most other stories where they're wise just because.
Aint ever seen me a flicker show. I've always liked the terms they had for film in the old days. In boardwalk empire someone called it a "Moving picture show". Great stuff.

I hated this part. He's surrounded by Devils that are going to kill him and he's watching Devils on the screen that wouldn't pass on him if he was on fire. Yet somehow the writers worked this line in the movie. Amazing!
They weren't devils. He as much as told them so in the previous scenes. He commended them for doing their job but told them he was tired and didnt want to live anymore Paul Edgecomb : On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job? John Coffey : You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand? Paul Edgecomb : Yes, John. I think I can.
@@Matthewsmollen4 No, unlikely but it was a "special occasion" I guess you could say and short of taking him out of the prison to do it there was probably no other place to watch it.
@@Matthewsmollen4 Probably because he was a poor person especially a poor black person in the South. But it's quite likely most people in extreme poverty regardless of who they were hadn't the means to see a movie back then.

1:37. That shot is just wonderful! The light of the cinema projector above Coffey's head representing him as an angel.
Il est fantastique un comedien incroyable je l adore toujours meme qu il repose au 💖 paradis
The way John sits and watches the film is just so heartbreaking
it is and it makes me want to cry of all the beautiful things life he's going to miss.
Michael was a hell of an actor. We lost a great talent the day he passed.
I can't watch this without crying
None of us can.
We really can’t
Its ok, thats not make you weak but more human than who you are right now

It's this scene and the scene where John Coffey held boss Edgecomb's hand for the last time that always makes me cry
Hem*🤣🤣🤣
This part always made me sad its like hes so happy watching this and hes still going to die
Arguably the saddest scene in the movie
I love when the guards smile and nod their heads when Paul looks behind. ☺
It’s enough to make a grown man cry
John wanted what we call wanted. Love. Gentle kindness. A break from the darkness.
Well said.

0:38 he's so happy
I can't watch this scene in Top Hat now, it just makes me sad.
Top Hat is Wonderful movie👍👍👍👍
Michael Clarke Duncan was an extraordinary talent taken far to soon
What I love about this scene is the inmate and the prison guards are sitting here enjoying this movie together.
You have no idea how much I cried at this scene
same here. there’s that feeling that you cannot explain in words
I cried so much 😢😢
Micheal Clarke Duncans acting is amazing in this. The fact he can pull all you heartstrings so quickly.
Beautiful
exactly
Michael Clark Duncan deserved an oscar for this role.
I was sad when he died. Too young and an amazing actor
I’m not crying, you are!
Michael Clarke Duncan got robbed of the oscar, you cant change my mind
I see Tom Hanks having a show of a lifetime.
I cried when i seen john coffey die... is said, "RIP JOHN...ITS SO HARD TO BREATHE! T_T
They executed the *real* angel. 💔
Had he been chosen by the family of the two girls instead of Wild Bill, he would've been spared.
Tom Hanks is just one of the best actors, Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Angels and Demons are my fav films, the man is a legend
I want him to play uncle Ben
Forest gump, road to perdition, cast away, phiadelphia, the list goes on. He's top 3 best to ever do it.
And the Toy Story saga

Hello
Hi 👋
What Brutus said? I did not hear
“Well there must be something we can do for you John, something you want?”
@@stingerjohnny9951 thanks
Статус geek no prob pal 😊
When we had to put our dog down.....
How come the prison has a theater?
I think they just used the room they do executions in.
@@crepesoftimeOkay. They show movies in the execution room sometimes?
@@Matthewsmollen4 No, unlikely but it was a "special occasion" I guess you could say and short of taking him out of the prison to do it there was probably no other place to watch it.
@@crepesoftimeOkay. Why hasn’t John Coffey ever seen a movie in his whole life?
@@Matthewsmollen4 Probably because he was a poor person especially a poor black person in the South. But it's quite likely most people in extreme poverty regardless of who they were hadn't the means to see a movie back then.
