Rest in peace. Michael Clarke Duncan. ... John Coffey. I was 11! Years old when I first watched this movie. For some reason caught my attention. But I ended up crying for so long. . I cry still now.
Brutus is what gets me during JC’s execution. He’s trying his hardest to be the stoic, consummate professional but after the switch is flipped, he has to fight to keep it together. You can see it in his eyes. His heart and soul are breaking because he knows, like the others, that JC is innocent but they can’t stop it.
At that moment 33:19 when John Coffey says "they look like angels" he has a halo over his head. Yeah, it's just light from the movie projector, but it's not filmed this way by accident. That's meant symbolically that HE looks like an angel.
What a beautiful reaction i loved it thank you for your wonderful reaction 💯🙏👍👍would love to see more lots of blessing and many success your now fan Lorgio from. Ecuador
The audiobook is up on RUclips, for now. The channel is Dennis Patrick McDonald. He's put up some older books on tape, both abridged and unabridged but check it out soon. RUclips won't have them up long. Definitely listen to the forward that Stephen writes because the format, serial chapters published in a magazine, common 100 years ago, is unique for modern books. Great reaction! So many films to explore.
Ava Great reaction . Just such a beautiful movie. When she gives him the St. Christopher devotional metal the patron saint of Travelers. It hits Home for me. I’m not Catholic or necessarily religious. I wish all the best for your channel and you you’re a lovely woman.❤️✌️🌼
If you listen carefully during the flashback John shares with Paul, when Klaus Detterich (the father) is driving nails, the hammer blows make a whispered 'Wharton, Wharton, Wharton' sound effect.
John Coffey = J.C = Jesus Christ. Same initials. Also he was sacrificied just like the Messiah. I felt bad for Paul, Mr. Jingles lived for around 60 years, that's like 20 times a mouse life expectancy. Imagine that in human years, jesus! Nice reaction =)
At the end of the film, Mister Jingles was 67. Wild mice typically live 12-18 months. I did a calculation -giving mice a generous 3-year lifespan - and determine that Paul could live over 2000 years. But even at the slowed rate his body is aging, he almost-certainly won't. More like 200 or so, I figure.
2:30 "Why is he saying dead man walking?" Percy is an idiot. You'll see that all throughout the entire movie. But this phrase was a real one said in US prisons for over a century now. It's used on the last day when a convict is being taken to his execution. "Dead Man" because he is about to be executed in a few minutes. "Walking" because he is walking to his death. Of course, John Coffey is not on his way, yet, to his execution. Also, it's not usually shouted over and over by the guards but rather it's something the other convicts might whisper to each other: "Hey, there goes a dead man walking." So chalk this one up to Percy being stupid.
'Green Mile' was a full-length novel originally released serially in smaller installments, later collected into one full narrative. It makes for excellent reading, and the filmmakers adapted it wonderfully.
Every time the E-Block phone rings, I start to check my own phone. In the book, Paul explains to the readers that Percy had gotten most of his impressions of police work from detective magazines, such as announcing 'Dead man walking!' when bringing a new prisoner onto the block. Arlen Bitterbuck was killed by the first jolt; Paul explains to us in the book that the heart can continue spasming after electrocution. You also notice he didn't grunt during the second shock. Based on how much John extended Mr Jingles' life, Paul could potentially live for over 2000 years. But considering the rate - even slowed - his body has aged since his connection with John's power, I reckon he'll more likely pass away by the time he reaches 200.
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 South.) 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 (MCD)😇 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. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part. 7. Movie magic Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene. 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 playing Percy. EVERYONE hates him.🤬 10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge.👿 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan. They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look 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. (GOAT)🤩 15. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!
Thank you for all the beautiful insight and points made It was everything and anything I would've guessed this film was about and just magnificent all around! Thank you much and for being here!
John is every good and moral black man in America. P.S. An if John lawyer wasn't so immoral maybe John might have healed his son. Oh an your pretty too. 😊 PRAISE YAHWEH!!!!!!!
Mr Ava please seek the Lord Jesus Christ and ask him to save you, he loves you and died to save you. Sorry I don't know what your name your parents gave you. I don't want to offend you but I want you to know the Lord Jesus Christ who loves you with an everlasting love. Ask Jesus to save you.
I love the lord and he loves me for the Bible tells me so! don’t come here on my channel with your judgmental nonsense. I appreciate you being here as I do everyone else but that is not what my channel is about! God bless :-)
I'm surprised how many reaction channels I find myself checking out only to end up saying "this is the worst one yet." Yet youtube always says in turn "hold my beer."
Rest in peace. Michael Clarke Duncan. ... John Coffey. I was 11! Years old when I first watched this movie. For some reason caught my attention. But I ended up crying for so long. . I cry still now.

I thought you were going to make it through without tearing up, but it got you at the end. Great reaction.
omg this movie had me in every aspect! Thank you my love:)
He was a peaceful man.
He had the ability to heal people.
He could bring the dead back to life.
He was unjustly executed.
His initials were ....JC
Wow i never even thought of it til now! Jesus Christ makes sense :-$
@@123giveit just an observation.
AND . . .His story and message is brought to us by a man named PAUL!!!
Thanks Ava. Great reaction. It’s a magical classic. RIP to Michael Duncan.
Yes Michael Duncan was so great here and RIP!

Yes it was tragic and emotional to see and what a fantastic film. I had no idea how intense and beautiful this film would be. :-)

Wow I love that! The symbolism is beautiful!
@@123giveit I thought you might, since you mentioned being Catholic. It's very strong symbolism for Catholics.
@@blakewalker84120 yes 🙌
Unfortunately, two great actors in this movie Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) and Delacroix (Michael Jeter) have passed away. Truly a great movie!
Rip for a moment in time they were here in a great film called the green mile :-)
And Harry Dean Stanton, who played Toot

Then the father would have to realize that he brought Billy to his home and he was responsible for their deaths.
Thank you for that :-) I appreciate it
