The whole world cried. Michael Clarke Duncan, you are truly missed
He was an amazing actor. Such a shame he died so young
Incredible film. You laugh, you cry, you get mad at Percy. Gives all ranges of emotions
A loss to humanity that I think none of us can truly fully understand.
Shed your tears with pride. Your empathy is a gift many people lack. ❤
I couldn’t agree more! I’ve seen this movie many times and this is my first video from this channel and I sobbed along with him. Lovely to see men with emotions ❤
Absolutely!❤
So true.
Michael Clarke Duncan waa robbed of an Oscar. His portrait of a gentle , angelic giant was phenomenal. ❤❤❤😭😭😭. R.I.P. .
No matter how many times I see this movie I still cry. Percy is so easy to hate and Sam Rockwell is so underrated as an actor. He was Wild Billy, he is so unrecognizable as himself in any character he plays. Awesome actor!!!
That's why they never tell what most of the inmates are in for. If you knew, you might be on Percy's side.
Percy is easy to hate cause he’s terrible irl too 😂 he’s a child predator
@@DupreeBlosch Other than messing with youngins, what else did he do? Just curious.
@@sagittarius420cheefie I’m not sure. But he married a 15 year old and r@ped her throughout the course of their entire marriage
@@sagittarius420cheefie domestic abuse, grooming, etc.
You are an incredibly insightful young man. So many watch and they miss so much of what you caught on to immediately. You “felt” the way the movie intended…and I cried along with you. ❤️
thank you 😊
Same here, I have only watched this movie twice and I cry like a baby every time. If you can watch this with out crying you have no soul, just in my humble opinion. You did a great reaction to it. Bless you
@@susannechickenmom5621I've seen it a couple times but it's so hard to watch because of the ending. I just cry every time I hear him cry. When he saved that woman's life that got me as well. I have to give myself breaks like a few years break before I watch it again but I love watching people's reactions to certain parts❤
@@susannechickenmom5621I agree❤
His initials aren't J.C for nothing ♥
I never noticed that 😮
It's a nod to John Connor, savior of the human race in the Terminator movies.
@@taradv8122 Not sure where you heard that, but Stephen King has said himself he intentionally gave him the initials of Jesus Christ. He said so in his memoir/writing guide "On Writing."
@@taradv8122 hahaha
Wow u learn something new everyday never picked up on that
Omg I will always stop scrolling when I see a new Green Mile reaction….
I’m so glad I’m not alone in this pastime!
Me too
I get it Mike, I’ve seen this movie so many times and still bawl my eyes out. The scene where John talks about how ugly people are to each other is still so prevalent. I’m not a religious person but I think John had a gift and it broke my heart when he was gone 😢
I think the symbolism of Mr. Jingles is again, innocence. And how he was able to bring a hopeless man so much joy. That needs to be preserved...and he was.
I remember watching this movie in a theater the first time and I had to sit until the entire theater emptied before I could get myself together and make it to my car. Then broke down again sitting in the parking lot.
It will stay with you your entire life. That’s why I know it is one of the best movies of all time!
Another great reaction.
Lol, I did the exact same thing. And sobbed the whole way home. Lucky the person I was with drove, because I wasn't capable!
My mother died with dementia and parkinsons. This movie was a form of healing for me when he healed that woman from her illness. Miss you mom, always....
You're not the only one my mum passed away too She had Cancer 41 years old She Was sorry for your last 😥 🙏
sending you continued love and healing ❤️
Thank you 💕
Wow. That’s similar to my father. He had Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and passed in 2015.
My father died from a brain tumor 3 years ago i feel your pain.
"The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" have a few things in common. Yes, they're both set mostly in prisons. They're also both adaptations of works by Stephen King. And they're both directed by Frank Darabont, who was also the showrunner for the first season of "The Walking Dead."
That man..I mean both of them...wait all four of them. Rip Mike❤❤❤
Both Stephen King Masterpieces. ❤❤❤
Agreed - and all I have to say is... "The Mist"!
Media literacy is THROUGH THE ROOF. One of my new favorite reactors.
❤️
I'm German from Berlin, 62 years old and a retired police officer. With Mr. Coffey you can tell almost from the first minute that something is not quite right. I've dealt with a lot of hardened criminals, and he doesn't have a single attribute of those people. He is very likeable, emphatic, his physique hides his high intelligence,
He loves animals (many violent criminals start their "careers" by torturing and killing animals) he is simply a person you like to have around.
There are two monsters in this film, the one behind the bars called "Billy the Kid" who soaks up the bad emotions of the one execution (with glee) like a sponge.
The second is in front of the bars, "Mr" Percy, we had people like that in Germany 1933-45, a racist, sadist, coward, loudmouth and much more. A person like him could hardly exist worse (here in Germany it was even worse, a great one Vicarious agent and he would have been even more extreme). But a great sparring partner in my dōjō.
I am an atheist and can understand Mr. Coffey's reasons for wanting to leave this world. How can a person with the qualities of Mr Coffey endure this? And above all, how long has it been doing it, decades, centuries or millennia?
Luckily, the film always catches me!
His high intelligence? John Coffey? Huh.
@@30noir His external impression, the slow way he speaks, the inexperienced person thinks it's a sign of stupidity or narrow-mindedness, he's simply not experienced enough in conversation, that's all!
The moment in which he explains to Tom Hanks why he wants to leave his life suddenly shows a different John Coffey. Strong argument,
no signs of conversation training but pure intelligence. You simply have to break away from the usual distinguishing features and look behind the “facade”. Yes, I stand by my assessment.
@@2tone753 “To tell you the truth, boss, I don't know much of anything.” Mmhm, ok you're entitled to your opinion.
@@30noirhmmmm sounds like typical response from someone who thinks school grades equal intelligence. Remember Einstein was considered dumb for years of his life 😳
@2tone753 I feel you may be agnostic, like me rather than atheist. Since no one actually knows if there's a higher power. Even if it's just elements keeping everything together, it's a power that is higher than us. It's something that can't be controlled so I don't really care. Also like to state that I've never met/talked to an atheist or agnostic that was a bad person. All were helpful and caring. Met/talked to a ton of toxic religious people. My wife used to be catholic, she's agnostic like me now. She also used to be a complete bitch and treat people like crap. Not throwing her under the bus, she agrees that she was not nice to people.
I'm rambling, my apologies. My belief would be in people. There's always going to be bad apples. It always saddens me that bad apples taint the rest of the tree from onlookers and lies hide them from truth. Awful traditions add to it. Being white and living in America has had a person call me racist and others saying I have privilege all based on skin color. A lot of ignorant people think Germans hate the U.S. and are still being nazi (I'm not capitalizing it for good reason). From what I've read is that Germans despise their history of nazi. Drawing a swastika in public is jail time?
You seem very wise so I'd like to chat back and forth, if you don't mind.
Mike, you got my sub immediately. You are intelligent, emotional, personable and hilarious. Thanks for the great content can’t wait to see more
thank you! 😊
I have so much respect for a man who doesn’t think it weak to shed tears. In my mind, it’s a telling difference between a real man and a mere boy who happens to be over the age of 18.
Such a great reaction, this is one of the toughest movies a person can tackle and there are few that fail to give in to their tears. The acting is stellar, and the story speaks for itself. The message and moral of the story is timeless and never more important than today and the world we live in with all the social division and brutality.
Great reaction all around.
Michael Clarke Duncan was 6’5”, same height as The actor playing Brutal, but with camera angles and risers he appeared much taller.
I don’t think I know of one person who has seen this movie who has not bawled their eyes out ❤️🙏🏽
If I remember correctly, Michael Clarke Duncan was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Academy award for this. Michael Caine won for "The Cider House Rules," but this was more memorable for me.
What was he supporting? He was the main character, he was the movie.
I mostly just know Michael Caine from "Blame It On Rio", one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
@@ckobo84Oh man....I love that movie😅❤
He got robbed at the oscars. He should have won
@@ckobo84 I see your point but the main character was Paul Edgecomb, Tom Hanks character. Personally, I think the entire movie is an allegory for the crucifixion as told from the perspective of Longinus. (Longinus was the Roman centurion who stabbed Christ with the Spear of Destiny).
4:11 In the novel, John Coffey was 6'8". Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP 🙏) was 6'4", so he had to wear special platform shoes, except when his feet were in shot.
So, some theories go that John is actually hundreds of years old, though he was not aged like Paul and Mr. Jingles became.
If you don't cry during this movie, you have no soul. You obviously do, great reaction. Much love.
I’ve seen this movie at least five times and I cry every time. Rip Michael C Duncan.
We watch to vicariously see this movie for the first time, but also to empathize with you so nobody wants you to hold back.
@Turn up the mike, any creator that can weep when a movie is this heartfelt is a reactor I want to see more of. You got all the JC references, and the other heartbeat parts of the film. Subbed
Saw this with my friends back in high school in the 90s. We all bawled like babies.
When I really need a good cry, I put on this movie. Even if I’m having a breakdown at 11:00 at night, I’m putting it on. This is one of my favorite movies of all time and the book has even MORE moments where I’m crying my eyes out.
Oh my heart every time I watch this! I saw it at the theater when it came out and we were all frozen in our seats crying our eyes out! What a classic message!❤❤
I love that after he heals Melinda’s brain tumor she tells John that they were wondering in the dark and they found each other, and given it’s well established John is afraid of the dark it’s kinda like he goes into a dark place that he’s afraid of when he heals somebody. A+ great film
One of the best films ever. I cry every time I see it.
"That's cuz y'all are sick!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We really do love you
David Morse(Brutal) had a significant role in "The Long Kiss Goodnight," with Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson.
I loved him in World War Z!
Loved the long kiss goodnight
Aww, I just wanna give you a hug. Amazing movie, but definitely a hard watch, especially now that Michael Clarke Duncan is no longer with us. Gone way too soon.
I had same reaction...but watch AFI lifetime achievement award for Tom Hanks and hear Michael praise him for helping him give the best out of every scene...then listen to Tom speak at Michael's funeral and see how the respect went both ways.
37:43 “We each owe a death: there are no exceptions.” 😭 Such a powerful film. Great reaction.
Whether we like a paticular character or not, i dont believe this movie would have really been the same without a single one of them. Each one played their character in a way you could feel it. Which is amazing! This is one of the best movies ever! And i yruly enjoyed your reactions and prespectives! True emotions. Very raw! You gained a follower ❤❤❤
Mr. Jingles is a symbol for innocence. John couldn't save those innocent little girls but he could save Mr. Jimgles. Animals are inherently innocent (and often at humans' mercy) and the way humans treat them reveals much more about the human than many realize.
What a wonderful, genuine reaction, Sir!❤❤❤ Trust me, we ALL cried during The Green Mile😢😢😢🌹🌹
14:07 In the movie, he was John's defence attorney, but in the book, he was the court reporter.
So, a guy named Paul tells a story about J.C. healing others and dying for someone else's sin and blessing him with life.
Whoa. I knew about the "JC" initials, but I never caught "Paul." Good call.
So then, the Road to Damascus is actually the Green Mile...
When Mr jingles got stepped on.....he had a few moments to save the mouse , in the beginning of the movie when he is crying with those two little dead children....that was because he knew he was to late to save them....that's why when the search party found hem with those kids they thought he killed them.
I'm atheist and this movie is amazing! Beautiful storytelling that hurts your heart 😢
Same.
Emotions are meant to be expressed and shared.
And I'm glad for what happened to Percy.
Shawshank and The green mile weren't just prison movies but Steven King books based movies
Your genuine reaction especially at the end really touched my heart. Thank you for this reaction, truly, I think I needed a good cry today.
Thanks for your heartfelt reaction. We al cried at that beautiful heart-wrenching movie.
I cried too! It proves to me, that the heart and soul is what makes us all special. Not the color of our skin.
This movie is one that brings me to tears every-single-time when John walks the Green Mile.
Thanks for sharing your raw emotions! I love your reactions.
❤️
This is one of my favourites I literally don't know how many times I've watched it but it's over 50 since it came out and I cry like that every time 😢😂😊
This one still gets me to this day. I saw this with my now wife in the theater in 1999, (we were 23) but anyhow, the film broke with only 20 minutes left of the film. I refused to leave until they fixed it, fortuantley they fixed it after 20 minutes.
I always thought of John as an angel. This movie brings me to tears everytime.
"I need a minute..."
Same, dude. Same.
It’s impossible not to cry. I watched this movie so many times and read the books so many times and I still cry.
Love your reaction. Love your kind genial heart. I had to keepp telling myself, “ This is a movie “ and they chose the right actors for sure.
What an absolutely beautiful reaction. Thank you
I love you! Every time I view this movie, I cry like a baby every single time! Thank you for crying with me. ❤❤❤
Oh my, I was in tears watching this movies and so much more watching your reaction. Don’t apologise for crying, it is a natural thing to do when confronted with something like this. Such amazing acting from all in this movie. First time I have watched your channel and I will be subscribing to see more. Love you and thanks for this.
❤️
Just came across your channel yesterday and watched all of your Hunger Games reactions and now this one. I absolutely love your empathy, your perceptiveness, your humor, and your commentary. You catch on to themes so quickly and I love how much you make me laugh even in an emotionally intense reaction. Please keep doing reactions you’re so great at this!!
I’ve been watching this movie since I was a kid and only recently have I been able to make it through without crying
I have seen this movie in its entirety numerous times and have seen a multitude of reactors watch it for the first time. Yes, I still cry every single time. It's so powerful. You did a marvelous job with the reaction. Thank you. New subscriber here.
My reaction was similar to yours when I first saw John heal somebody. It thought it was weird. Later on, when I found out the story had been written by Stephen King, it all fell into place. I never liked horror but this is proof that King can write non-horror fiction and do a great job.
When the sponge is wet, it helps conduct electricity. I wouldn't be surprised if it was salt water to really aide the flow of current. By leaving the sponge dry, it is not longer a conductor but an insulator. It would be better not to be there at all. The only way the current can flow is by arcing in order to jump the gap. Percy pretty much turned John into the electrode of an arc welder.
Your reaction was teh same as mine, this movie broke me in a way that so few experiences could. Michael Clark Duncan was genius in this role, his acting was so good in this movie. Also, the way Steven King wrote this piece of art was just magnificent.
Great Reaction! when you cried, it broke my heart. This movie does it to me every time
When was like nine I watched this and cried on and off for literally THREE DAYS. My best friends step dad looked just like John Coffey so I was extra emotional imagining what will happen when we lose our parents and how hard it will be to live on when those you love pass away.
I havn't seen this in a while and now im crying again 😢 Great reaction 🙂
my favorite scene is when Forrest goes to visit Lieutenant Dan to talk about John
When I saw this movie for the first time, I cried like a baby. I've never cried so much at a movie yet.
Watch "Terms Of Endearment" (hospital scene), or "My Girl" (funeral scene), and see how you hold up; I melted like an ice cube on the stove!
This movie gets me every single time, this, Titanic and My girl when Vader runs an says about his glasses x
This is one of those films I describe as “An incredible movie that I will never watch again.”
Such a hard story to get through. But so well acted and so compelling that you can’t pause or look away. Bravo to the writers, actors, directors, everyone. A beautiful piece of art that I will never forget.
one of my favorite movie to this day. I love the character development of the cellmates and guards and how the sotry is told overall.
Lt. Dan (Gary SInise) was in this movie, he was the guy with the kid with one bad eye that he went to visit, also.. the older gentleman that plays Tom Hanks older was on Little House on the Prairie, I think his name on that show was reverend Alden
Strong use of the word religiosity! 😂
I'm not sure if Mr. Jingles was a metaphor for anything or not. But it did show that the power of John Coffey allowed the mouse to live so long and that Paul was probably going to live a really long time. If just a part of John could do that, then John likely had been roaming this earth for several, several years. Maybe even multiple centuries.
It's okay to cry, bud. Shows a heart to cry. My best friend looks like a hardened lumberjack, doesn't like to be touched, and says it like it is. We hug every time we see each other. We had some hard times and cried on each other's shoulders.
First video of yours I watched. I cried w you. I think you’re so perceptive about what’s happening in the movie and I love how you appreciate certain camera shots and lighting. Really enjoyed watching this w you. 👏
Regarding the UTI situation: It hurts 100% of the time until it clears up. There's no like...hours-long rest from a bladder infection. And it makes you feel like you have to pee ALL THE TIME, even if you have nothing to pee anymore. And upon conclusion of the peeing is when the severe pain kicks in. Tom was not exaggerating how it feels, the faces, the slow walking...when he got kicked in the nuts I felt that one and I don't have balls.
YT just recommended you channel to me and I'm SOOOO glad it did - loved your reaction!
New sub, Such a heartbreaking, yet beautiful film. Johns smile melts my heart. R.I.P. Awwww, I know its a hard one to get thru, so sending a hug and good vibes. Thanx so much, Peace
You should watch “The Making of the Green Mile”. So interesting. To see Michael Clarke Duncan laughing and carrying on with Tom and the whole cast. 😊
Love your authentic reaction! This is the only film that literally made me ugly cry as a young teen. I bawled my eyes out.
One of the best reactions I've ever seen of this movie. You truly GOT it. You're a natural empath and thats nothing to be ashamed of. GOD Blessed you with the gift. Use it often.
I have seen this movie about 20 times and I cry every time, I just cried along with you ! ❤
Just found you through this movie and working my way through your movie reactions. I’m in the middle of watching you watch Shawshank. In that reaction you mention wanting to know what the other inmates did. Not sure you do, but it’s in the books, which I’ve read. The first man to be executed, Bitterbuck, was drunk and killed a man over a pair of boots. Del raped and killed a young girl, tried to cover up her murder by burning her body, and ended up burning down an apartment building that killed 6 other people. They purposely left it out of the movies and I can see why. It would have shifted the feel of the movie drastically. Also in the book, Dean (the young blond guard) was transferred to C block after John died and was attacked and killed by an inmate 6 months later.
your tears are gifts for the angels - they can't cry
I was crying right along with you. What an honest and touching reaction ❤ Subscribed.
Love this movie! I cry everytime I see it. Thankyou for your reaction and your tender heart and not hiding it.
I know.I know it's really hard to see this.I've read the book and have seen the movie,and I cry every time.John is both beautiful and tragic,Michael Clarke Duncan played him perfectly.That line:"He killed them with they love" is one of the heart-wrenching things I've heard or read.
Michael Clark Duncan was so beautiful. I sobbed the hardest I ever have in this movie…and I saw it in the theater. Thank you for the great reaction. It was so genuine. One of the best. ❤
It was great getting to see you so entranced by this movie! Your appreciation for the acting and the direction of the film was endearing!
I finally saw this movie recently and cried like a baby. Has got to be one of the best films I have EVER seen.
Just came upon your channel randomly and I love seeing that you have a big heart. Love that. I subbed up right after the reaction. All the success in the world to you. Peace and love from Boston.
I was so angry when Michael Clarke Duncan did not win the Academy Award!
What a beautiful reaction!❤❤❤❤
I was crying with you - this movie gets me every time.
Earlier you mentioned the prison movies in the 90’s - there were a few for sure but that Shawshank Redemption and this one were both written by Stephen King and also were part of the same book - there were 4 I think in the book. There was another that also was a pretty well known movie - Stand By Me.
There was another they did make a movie of but I don’t remember what it was called but it was ‘summer of corruption’ in the book.
Thank you for such a great review. I have watched this movie many times, but your interpretation and emotion made it even more heart breaking. Thanks again.
I have seen this movie more than once the acting in this is so good, I loved Michael Duncan Clarke he did an amazing job.
Omg you remind of my bestie 😊 oddly enough he's big and tall like John Coffey, 6'8" and just as gentle and sweet. The green mile is one of my favorite movies 💚
Its possible that Tom Hank's character will live for thousands of years. Just a little magic went into the mouse and it lived over 20 times the normal lifespan. He got a massive direct dose of it.
Camera tricks and angles were used to make MCD look bigger. For the film, he was 6'5" and weighed in excess of 300 lbs. (320, I believe). Big, but the book called for someone about 7'. Acting ability superceded height here, and a good thing, too.
Mr. Jingles's sudden death always a WTF moment the first time u see it. Then the resurrection ❤❤❤
