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.

@@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.
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.
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.
He looks like a happy little child watching that flicker show. He's just so precious
Michael was a hell of an actor. We lost a great talent the day he passed.

Hem*🤣🤣🤣
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
This is a real tear jerker. Excellent song and dance routine on this scene. Michael Clark Duncan was great in this flick.
John wanted what we call wanted. Love. Gentle kindness. A break from the darkness.
Well said.
Arguably the saddest scene in the movie
The happiest of the saddest
What I love about this scene is the inmate and the prison guards are sitting here enjoying this movie together.
This part always made me sad its like hes so happy watching this and hes still going to die
You have no idea how much I cried at this scene
same here. there’s that feeling that you cannot explain in words
Michael Clarke Duncan was an extraordinary talent taken far to soon
0:38 he's so happy
Michael Clark Duncan deserved an oscar for this role.
It’s enough to make a grown man cry
Micheal Clarke Duncans acting is amazing in this. The fact he can pull all you heartstrings so quickly.
I cried so much 😢😢
I’m not crying, you are!

I see Tom Hanks having a show of a lifetime.

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
I cried when i seen john coffey die... is said, "RIP JOHN...ITS SO HARD TO BREATHE! T_T
Michael Clarke Duncan got robbed of the oscar, you cant change my mind
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.
I can't watch this scene in Top Hat now, it just makes me sad.
Top Hat is Wonderful movie👍👍👍👍
This is some deep stuff man! I just told my cousin about John Coffey
I can’t tell you how hard I cried watching this part
the best part
I miss Michael Clarke Duncan
The world does.
I miss my Michael
Yeah. Me Too. 😢😭
מקסים ❤❤❤❤❤
It destroyed my soul every time I saw him die in that film.
Part of job but still a brokenheart with such situation...
I can't watch this film with out feeling the world is a little empty with no Michael Clarke Duncan in it
I can not listen to that Parov Stelar mix again :(
😢😥😭
When we had to put our dog down.....
I want to watch this movie, but I’m scared to.

John Coffey: _Aint ever seen me a flicker show._
(Emoji Movie)
John Coffey: (Go to sit on the chair and... ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡)
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 😊
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.
All but unbearable
I Cried my Fucking Eyes out during this movie : ^ //
Aint ever seen me a flicker show.

I love when the guards smile and nod their heads when Paul looks behind. ☺
I was sad when he died. Too young and an amazing actor
Beautiful
