- Jaby and Steph get emotional in their reaction to Stephen King's "The Green Mile." Both Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan and Philadelphia) and the late Michael Clarke Duncan (Armageddon and Kung Fu Panda) portrayals in this film left us in awe with the mixture of both feel good and sadness.
The film also stars David Morse (Disturbia and The Negotiator), Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Jojo Rabbit), James Cromwell (The Longest Yard, L.A. Confidential and Succession) and Doug Hutchison (Punisher: War Zone & A Time to Kill)

I was privileged to have worked with Frank Darabont on this film…interestingly, he was having real problems casting John Coffey’s role. In fact, less than a month before rolling, ( I was in the car w Frank for almost 2 straight months scouting locations as he was inundated w requests from actors) he still had found no one, until several people from Disney (including Bruce Willis) suggested Michael Clark Duncan for the role based on his ability to cry in “Armageddon”. MCD read twice for the role and Frank cast him with haste. No, MCD didn’t win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Michael Caine for “Cider House Rules”. Such a shame for MCD who would never again have a role like that; he was characteristically good humored and even funny about the loss (I worked w him on several projects after TGM). RIP to a really great soul.
There are always snubs for whatever reason, and there's no doubt they play politics with who wins quite often, but MCD had to know his performance was legendary and very Oscar worthy, whether he won or not.
Thanks for sharing that.
Big Mike was one of a kind like his character, John Coffey.
He was up against Haley Joel Osment from Sixth Sense, and Michael Caine from Cider House. Michael Caine won best supporting Oscar.
Wow what a interesting fun career you have had , I always thought having a career in the movie business would be so difficult , almost have to know somebody, thanks
Micheal Clark Duncan was like 6'5 and like 300 pounds of muscle but could cry on command and was well spoken and funny what a person
he wasn't actually all muscle at max 40% of his mass would be from muscle
Nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture.
RIP, Michael Clarke Duncan and Michael Jeter.
And sadly didn't win one that Year!
Yeah that was a tough year at the Oscars, some great films in the lineup although TGM absolutely deserved something.
Michael Clarke Duncan was robbed he deserved it more than Michael Caine . And it was Ving Rhames
who wanted to give his Golden Globe Award to Jack Lemmon not an Oscar .
it should've won best Picture
the matrix won that year didnt it?
“I've done some things in my life I'm not proud of, but this is the first time I've ever felt in real danger of hell,” is the quote that brings me to tears. Paul Edgecomb had to make a terrible decision either way but it was only John Coffey’s kind words that resolved the inner conflict.
In the book, it’s Brutus’s line and Paul has to reflect on it.
It’s one of those right to the heart choices.
John Coffey "MOST OF ALL I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE BEING UGLY TO EACH OTHER" is a line that gets me each time I see this .
This was not my original thought, but one I saw from a review of this movie. When the woman with the tumor is healed, she said that she and John Coffey "found each other in the dark." This implies that John had to go into the darkness to find and heal. John was so afraid of the dark that he didn't want the hood over his head during his execution, but was still willing to go into "the dark" to find and help someone. True bravery and compassion.
I always wonder what happened to her afterwards. Since John always seems to give a piece of himself to everyone he heals (I know with Paul it was also for him to see what actually happened to the two girls, but that wasn't the case with Mr Jingles and he STILL lives too!) she might have lived a longer life than usual too. Maybe it would have been a healing experience for both of them to reconnect as they were both there to witness the miracles of John firsthand, something difficult to explain to outsiders.
@@adrianaheiler9794 As mister Jingles lived a very high multiply of a mouse live, and Hanks is also alive now, the wife of the director lives on or died at an accident,
Even long life from coffee can not prevent death of an accident.
@@adrianaheiler9794- Mr. Jingles and Paul Edgecomb didn’t get extra life from being healed by John Coffey. Mr. Jingles got it accidentally when John was feeling Del getting executed, and he gave Paul a “bit of himself” in order to show him what Wild Bill did. Miranda was healed, but she didn’t get any extra life.
“You made of steel? What’s wrong with you?”
I feel the same.
yeah she is definelty a psycho. I would not trust her one bit
CinePals: So many people have done reactions for this movie, and I typically don't even bother watching any that are less than 45min. i just don't feel you can adequately encapsulate a 3hr+ movie in that mount of time, unless you chop out some critical plot points or dialog. Your reaction is among the 5 best I've seen, and I've seen plenty. Your genuinely humane response was heartwarming, you gave enough time to include all the important stuff, and reacted how I would expect anyone with a soul to react on the first watch (or even the 100th). Nicely done!
For those who are critical of Paul for putting Percy in charge of Del's execution after Del laughed at Percy peeing his pants: When Paul got Percy to promise to get a different job he already had it in mind to take John to Melinda and wanted Percy transferred to Briar Ridge ASAP. After the execution Hal tells him it will take 30 days to effect the job transfer, but Paul doesn't think Melinda will survive another month. So he comes up with the alternative of locking Percy up. This is really risky because all their jobs will be at risk. That's why he meets with the guys, and why he insisted Dean not be part of it. Dean had little kids and needed his job.
This is per the book, which is probably one of the best book to movie scripts, ever. Darabont strictly adheres to the book, almost word for word.
I'm really glad that he decided to keep dark what landed Del on death row in the film adaptation. As horrid as it is, it's undeniably poetic justice.
Yeah, it is one of the best film adaptions to a book.
Others are not so close to the book (but also good films)
The Green Mile truly a masterpiece
I'm very glad you checked the movie out. The entire cast and the script was phenomenal in this movie.
I just wish that Michael Duncan got that Oscar for best supporting actor.
Make no mistake that The Green Mile is powerful and draws on our emotions.
I felt in love with the novel 'The Green Mile' written by Stephen King the moment I read it....and then they went on to make a movie out of it and did such a superb work... It will remain one of my most favourite movie... Great casting.
I love the scene where Paul asks John Coffey what he's meant to say when God asks why he killed one of His true miracles, "Because it was my job?"
I'm not a religious man, but I do try to be a moral one and whether you're answering to The Almighty or simply to yourself, "Because it was my job," is never a sufficient justification for having done the wrong thing. Paul knows this.
John's response is beautifully layered. He tells Paul it's a kindness they're doing in killing him, as John is so very tired from living with and feeling the suffering and sadness of people all over the world. At the same time, however, John is doing these good men who will have to carry out his execution a kindness by ensuring them that he longs for death and them delivering it will end his own suffering. He knew not only what they needed to hear in order to be able to deliver to him that kindness, but also what they needed to hear in order to live with it afterwards.
It's a wonderfully written story.
Best comment about this movie EVER, everyone is just so commemorating about the actor and forgot the message. Also another thing people tends to overlook: John gave closure to the grieving parents who lost their daughters, John knows he is innocent but never disputes his innocence and takes the blame, the reason behind it I think, is one he is truely tired and want to end his suffering and two, since Wild Bill is dead (killed by Percy) he took away the suffering of those grieving parents and gave them Justice, albeit men's Justice, but justice in some measure... in another words, he took away their pain without performing any miracle.
King later confirmed that John Coffey JC, is an allegory for Jesus Christ. After all, ALL he ever wanted was for us to treat each other with kindness and if you are suffering he will take away your pain (literally and figuratively). And still we killed him for it. My limited understanding is that we cannot stand in front of pure kindness and goodness, because we are ashamed of our own inadequacies (the potencial of what we could become and be) that we are left with only 2 choices, REPENT and GROW or KILL the source that shames us.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The ending devastates me every time I watch it. Never cried so hard after finishing a movie.
this one and Forrest Gump... both are turning me into a crybaby 😅
This is my favorite movie of all time. It is impossible to watch it for me without crying like a baby. Everything about the movie just seeps into my soul and I love it.
The best part of Green Mile reactions is when the movie switches genres on them. 😁 Love it!
I just noticed for the first time after watching this several times john is singing 'heaven' as they're about to flip the switch. never caught that before. oh god, cried again.
6:23 Graham Greene is a great actor. Years after this movie, he played in my one of my old favorite shows called, "Defiance!" Incredible acting! 🙏🏽💪
I went without seeing the film for over 20 years and every time I see it, I can’t help but weep. I’d have to say at 68 years old, it’s in my top ten all time. Very glad you two reacted, thank you for sharing. Peace.
Just like Shawshank, and/or Stand By Me, it's amazing that these flics are from the mind of Stephen King
I really enjoyed your thoughtful discussion of the themes of the movie afterward. I came to your channel for your Pitch Meeting reactions, but now I'm going to seek out more of your full movie reactions.
This and Shawshank are Top-Tier Stephen King adaptations!!! GREAT Reaction!!!
This is a perfect movie for me. The story, the unbelievable great acting, the whole movie is amazing. It's so painful to watch but worth it.
Wait, I think it was Ving Rhames who gave his Golden Globe to Jack Lemmon. An amazing gesture and Jack was totally shocked.
21:30, Remember this is taking place in 1935. If the authorities and judicial system had been alerted about John's healing abilities, they would have most likely accused him of receiving his abilities from the devil😅
It was Ving Rhames, who gave his Golden Globe to Jack Lemon. I got to see him on The Tonight Show (was in the audience) talk about it.
Michael Clarke Duncan was nominated but did not win the Oscar for this performance.
Yeah I don't know why he didn't just google that lol
Michael used to train at my gym in Chicago in the 90s. I met him via a gym owner a few times. He was super nice. Rest in peace.
Great reaction. This movie always makes me tear up no matter how many times I've seen it.
Did you notice that the actor( William Sadler ) who played the girls dad was the same actor who played Hayward in The Shawshank Redemption.
I love how when John is watching the movie, they used the light from the projector behind his head like a halo type thing.
In my opinion Percy is one of the most vile characters ever created.
I didn't notice that! Thanks
Superb film. Note: First, you were surprised that Hanks' character wasn't doing more for Duncan's character.....It was the 30s. It was the South. Those two facts should explain most everything. I grew up in the South and my parents grew up in the South in the 30s. I'm not saying it was right, just saying that most people wouldn't even have done what Hank's character did. Second: The people at the executions were not there for "entertainment". At this point in history, it wasn't a public event. Those people were the inmates' victims' family/survivors that were given the chance to come see them die in order to have some closure. Others in attendance would have been prison officials, maybe govt officials, and perhaps a journalist or two. None of it is pretty, but all of it was quite common at that time.
Basically. Everyone tries to put 2023 sensibilities on things that were based on things that was almost done a 100 years ago
It always surprises me when reactors ask that. Its like she said in the beginning. In reality they would have murdered John Coffey, brutality.
@@ghostlee6434 An excellent point. Nearly every single work of classic literature has been updated and amended to reflect current norms. Every piece of history that doesn't fit in with current ideology has to be removed. The result is that people no longer remember or appreciate that times were different. I learned history, art, religion, politics, geography and about different cultures though classic literature (not Disney cartoons bearing the same titles). In order to appreciate were we are, we need to be familiar with how we got here.
Not just the south. Northerners were any kinder.
Maaan! I've never teared up watching a reaction but this movie will do it to you. It's a Phenomenal movie and everyone did a great job in this movie. Another genius film from Frank Darabont. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. He definitely should've won the supporting actor Oscar. Can't watch this movie again anytime soon though. It's too strong.
I saw THE GREEN MILE in theater and it was packed. an entire room full of people openly expressing every emotion as every scene rolled onscreen. This was special.
Unfortunately the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan though nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award in 2000, the Oscar went to another Michael -- Michael Caine for the film Cider House Rules. I remember watching that evening. I was crushed; no offense to Mr. Caine... but still! IJS.
The memorable moment where an actor wanted to give his award to the legendary actor, Jack Lemmon, happened not at the Oscars. It occurred at the 1998 Golden Globes.
Actor Ving Rhames earned the Best Actor award for his role in "DON KING...". The whole audience, and i too, was moved by Ving's heartfelt gesture to an actor he'd admired, personally & professionally, for years.
Great reaction, guys! Keep up the earnest and excellent work!
I read the serialized novels in college back in 90s and was so impressed by the story so I used it in my thesis in Literature. I watched the movie in theater the next year. Every characters in the movie was very spot on from the book, especially Michael Clarke Duncan.
The raziest thing is EVERY actor in this move deserved an Oscar.
This is some of the bsst acting ever, across the board.
EVERYONE felt absolutely real and genuine.
Id like to give an extra shout out to Doug Hutchison, the guy playing Percy.
The villains are often forgotten cuz you hate them and when you think of something "Good", bad people are, probably subconsciously, forgotten cuz you dont associate them with "good".
But as much as I wanted to fakking END HIS ENTIRE EXISTENCE, how can I deny the brilliant performance?
The fact that I actually felt *_real life_* murderous intent towards this *_fictional_* character is the undeniable proof that he delivered an outstanding performance.
Barry Peppr alre dont get the recognition he deserves.
Hes ALWAYS a supporting character but he very often deliver absolutely phenomenal performances.
This movie was overshadowed by Forrest Gump in 1994. I saw it when it came out and a thousand times since. It always makes me cry.
Sadly Michael Clarke Duncan did NOT win the Oscar for this role. He was nominated tho
He did win a few other ones:
1) Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA, Best Supporting Actor - The Green Mile
2) Critics Choice Awards, Best Supporting Actor - The Green Mile
But as for the actual Academy Awards, he only received a nomination (which is still cool but he deserved the win tbh)
Kevin Spacey won that year for American Beauty in "Best Actor in a Leading Role"
Michael Caine won that year for The Cider House Rules in "Best Actor in a Supporting Role"
I was the camera Operator for the Green Mile 😅
The Green Mile, Cast away & Forrest gump Tom Hanks best of all time
@7:00 It's not "entertainment", it's watching justice be served for your loved one who was killed. To make sure you see it for yourself. You ought to give the state more credit than offering up tickets for the fun of it.
Paul said that if Mr. Jingles - a mouse, lived as long as he did, how much longer will he live. Well, it always gets me thinking about how long John himself wandered the earth, before being able to go Home.
@35:40 he was nominated but didn't win. I think he totally deserved it though....his performance was mind blowing...RIP Michael Clark Duncan...
This movie is a masterpiece, Frank Darabont is a genius. It's like 3 hours but it so f*cking good that you don't notice it at all! Stephen King is a genius also. Shame that Hollywood doesn't do this kind of gems no more...
"Kidney stones are one of my biggest fears."
I've had them twice. That's a crippling kind of pain. Hydrocodone was my best friend.
15:05 Steph’s reaction here honestly started to make me cry.
In the book there’s a Nurse in the old home during present scenes who acts exactly like Percy.
Think of the abuse that John Coffey saved Briar Ridge's patients when he punished Percy and William(Billy).
Percy was supposed to get an administrative job, not working with patients.
3:51 "You're saying they wouldn't murder him right there?"
Aha, very nice. Good spot. In the book the sheriff is thinking the same, and confiscates the father's ammo before they get to the crime scene.
I don't know why are you watching this fantastic movie this late , It touched our heart. It shows how this world works , only a heartless won't cry after watching this. Only seeing Green mile title was enough to have tons of emotions 😢😢😢.
Its the only reason I watch reaction to movies that are heartfelt to see if there will be tears. I've seen reactors tear up to superhero movies or lord of the rings then watch something like this or saving private ryan & get nothing. I cant figure it out.
I read Michael Clarke Duncan, James Cromwell & John Morris were the same height 6ft 4inches! However, no cgi was used to make Duncan look bigger than others!
MCD was actually shorter than James Cromwell.
As good as he was, being a black man in the 30's he had no chance. The people wanted to see someone punished. He was a good scapegoat. I've seen it a dozen times, and I tear up every time. RIP MCD.
10/10
Do not live your entire life without seeing this film!!!
GREATEST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN. i remember seeing it when it first came out when i was 12 years old. now i just finished watching it and have gone through practically a whole box of tissues...
that pure, love and honesty was portrayed so exquisitely well by Michael Clarke Duncan... it made me want to tear my hair out. If there is anything in this world which reminds me of true human love and compassion, it is this film. If you ever give up hope on humanity and the destruction which our disgusting race has brought to this world, watch "The Green Mile" Hopefully it will change your outlook a little bit like it just has mine.
11/10 SHOULD HAVE WON ALL THE AWARDS AVAILABLE THE YEAR OF IT'S RELEASE.
an ex bf of mine once said, after watching this with me, "what if the old guy is just telling lies to the ladies in the rest home to get laid, and he just happens to have an elderly mouse as his wingman" and i never got over it lol
It was Ving Rhames that gave his Oscar to Jack Lemmon.
It's a tragedy that this movie never won a single. Oscar
There should be a retrospective category.
29:07 Now this, puts a smile on my face 😌
Fascinating that people jump to the nefarious idea that the chairs in the execution room were for people's 'entertainment'. It takes a dark heart to think of such a thing.
The chairs were not for 'entertainment', the people are there to witness a state execution and to make sure it was carried out in accordance with the law. Family of the 'victim' and the 'offender' can attend or not; and the only other people in attendance were governmental entities.
UGH!!!! I always cry during this film and even worse when I watch reactions of it because now I have the film and the people making me cry!!!
"we found each other in the dark" Got my eyes sweating.
Which is why John Coffey is afraid of the dark. That’s what he experiences when he feels others pain or heals them.
Great reaction! I remember seeing MCD talking about the final conversation scene in his cell, and he was expected to just say his lines to either empty air or a stand in, as the camera was only set up to capture him. But Tom Hanks sat down across from him and delivered his lines and MCD said it was the best acting Hanks had ever done, just as a courtesy to a fellow cast member. What an amazing ensemble & movie!
The best Stephen King adapted movie ever
An amazing but emotionally devastating movie. Many people can only watch it once, even though they recognize its brilliance. An interesting bit of trivia is that if we take Mr. Jingles' longevity into account - living 32 times longer than a typical mouse (64 years instead of 2) - then Paul should live until at least the year 4343! Unless he's hit by a bus.
Best movie I have ever seen ...
"Are you made of steel" lol.
She really is. 😂
If this didn’t get her, I’m not sure what will.
I went from crying at the end to laughing when you called out your costar for having nerves of steel for not crying 😂 great watch a long ❤💪🏿
It wasn’t him it was Ving Rhames who gave his Golden Globe to Jack Lemon.
Not a big fan of horror, so I wasn't planning on watching this movie when I found out the story was by Stephen King. Then, I happened to catch a small clip online somewhere and felt it may not be so bad after all. I'm glad I did watch it that one time. Have watched it multiple times since (by myself, always) and it never disappoints.
The book was actually inspired by the true story of George Tilley Jnr and the two little girls in the 30s in the deep south. The two little girls were found murdered and s. Assaulted. The police department really didn't investigate but wanted someone to go down for the crime and their victim was a poor,simple minded,skinny little ( black ) boy who at the time of the murders was as always working on the family farm. While he was walking down the road they arrested him, beaten and bullied into signing a confession. In the newspaper they made him out to be this big monstrous black man but he was so skinny and small he was for the age of 14 he looked like a 8 year old ( they put telephone books under him to electricute him ) It took a all white jury just 6 hours to sentence him to death by electric chair a year later would be the D.O.E. the whole time he was imprisoned he was cut off from his family so the fear of this poor child I do not want to imagine, he must have thought that his family didn't love him anymore but that could not be further from the truth cause they did everything they could even after his death through the generations to clear his name. In 2006 the innocent project took the case and his name was cleared due to lack of evidence and corruption within the police dept, I also believe a death bed confession too his name was finally cleared. A true innocent child murdered because of the colour of his skin.
I suggest reading the book as it is a wonderful book and gives u more information about John's life and powers. Such a great book and movie.
i dont like how Del said mr jingles would be scared to live in the woods (and alone especially) but toms character chooses to keep him in this big abandoned house, that just sems super unsafe and very lonely for the poor thing. i know he cant sneak a rat into the old folks home but damn the old man literally has to walk so far just to see his mouse. i also dont recognize the house at all it just seems really random that they wouldnt make it some house/building that wed recognize from the story
Team Braw (and that Jaby fella)!
He is a angel, this movie is so good 😢
It was Ving Rhames who gave his Golden Globes Award to Jack Lemon. I don’t believe it was the same year as this either. But a lot of people get Michael Clarke Duncan and Ving Rhames confused.
The Iron Lady! Not one tear!
Monster 😢
14:28 No mice 🐭 were harmed during the making of this film.
15:43 👈 😉 Told you!
I cry through most of this movie too.
4:31 That year, Michael Caine won the Academy Award for best actor in a supporting role. Michael clarke Duncan got a nod for his performance as John Coffee, but did`nt won.
Classic movie!!!! Hope you two like it! 🙏🏽💪
Tom Hanks gave a really funny and touching eulogy at Michael Clarke Duncan's wake; got everyone to smile in celebration. It's still available to watch on RUclips.
Talking about treating inmates with dignity:
It's interesting that solitary confinement is used for office storage, and is only used for its intended purpose when Percy is tossed in there.
They used it for Wild Bill first.
One of the greatest Tom Hanks films.
Thanks for an awesome reaction.
So many beautiful layers in this story.
This and the Shawshank Redemption are the best movie adaptations of stories written by Stephen King.
The only movie that makes me cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
The Emotional Roller Coaster this movie puts you through as a viewer . OMG . GREAT REACTION Guys
I'm so happy that you guys enjoyed it, it's definitely a classic in my eyes it always has been. You know what I take that back it was a master piece but that's just my opinion. rest in peace Michael Clarke Duncan😢
Yes! I even cry like a baby when I watch the reactions to this film. I’ve probably watched about half a dozen reactions.
40:19 Finally! Someone includes what I consider IMHO _the_ line of the film. 👏
9:28 The shenanigans are about to begin 👀
I am only watching this because I think Steph is amazing - LD+R is your best reactions - Watched this film once... Swore I would never again!
What a lot of folks miss on their first watch of this excellent film. We never know just how old John is. A 70 y.o. mouse, a 100+ y.o. man.
And the whole time John has been taking in all the horrible things that mankind is capable of.
Darabont is an awesome director 👍
I just went through the movies you've watched, its cartoons and Super hero movies like your 15 yrs old ,no Shawshank no Saving Private Ryan, you have a long way to go
Arguably the greatest movie ever made. This movie is the epitome of catharsis. Great reaction.
The clue to who John Coffey is lies in his initials .. JC .. watch the movie again with that piece of tidbit and every action of his and even his passing makes sense
Lonely as a sparrow in the rain.
40:38 Exactly! 😂
In 1988 a movie named "Who Framed Roger Rabbitt" combined Animation and People was produced. The movie was by Stephen Spielberg and had incredible cinematography. Pleaser watch it.
This is one of my favourites. Cant watch this without crying EVER 😭
Frank Darabont was the director, who also directed the Shawshank Redemption. The older guard in this movie was also in season one of the Walking Dead, produced by Frank Darabont.
Screenwriter / Director Frank Darabont made two masterpiece movies from Stephan King stories. "The Green Mile" & "Shawshank Redemption".
Probably doesn't need mentioning but - John Coffey punishing Percy saved the mentally ill from future Percy abuse. Plus, we know Percy also would have talked and ruined the careers of the other prison guards.
Awww Jaby, you were soo cute trying to hold the tears in at first!
It doesn't matter how many times I see this...I always cry.
34:15 i love how you guys are so pure you just want hal to find a way to free john as if this wasnt taking place in the american south in the early 1930s
I cried pretty bad during Del’s execution cuz I was pissed off but also sad because I know that actor as Mr. Noodle from Elmo’s World. I grew up with him being Mr. Noodle.
Great reaction! New subscriber. I was crying along with you. I do every time. This movie is truly a masterpiece!
