I actually knew Michael Clark Duncan, and he was every bit of an amazing human you would think he would be. Such a great person and taken from us way too soon. RIP to a glorious man. ❤❤
I cried so hard at the end of this film that I’ve never been able to watch it again. Stephen King is a wonderful writer and the cast of this movie did him full justice. 😢
It broke me when Jay (EOM) called his dog in for comfort. I've seen most of these reactors do this and they have all touched me with their genuine sadness.

No matter how many times I watch this movie, I will literally cry my heart out. This was more than likely based on the 14 year old named George Stinney who was accused of killing two girls and executed for that crime. He was Exonerated nearly 70 years later after it was proven that he was not the killer.
The most genius decision in this scene is to show every one of the guards weeping. You know it's wrong, they know it's wrong, they don't want to do it, and that makes you feel for them almost as much as you do for John. It's hard to be angry and hate them when you seem then feel the same as you do. Even the guard throwing the switch has tears streaming down his face.
Now wait until they find out that the character John Coffey was loosely based on George Stinney the 14 year old that was executed for the false conviction of the murders of two little girls
And you know what hurt me the most when I first watched this movie when I was a child? This is the fact that this was based on realism that explores human nature and society and inspired Stephen King to write this amazing book you all know and love "The Green Mile" Instead of a big black giant man. It was a child named George Stinney who was 14 years old when he was executed while he was in prison he couldn't see his parents and his parents were expelled from the city. So while this child was in prison he never saw his mom and dad before being executed. And as always in American history, 70 years later his innocence was finally proven.
This is what we do to gods greatest gift..And the only people who know what he is are the ones that have to destroy him. When Hanks says "may god have mercy on your soul" he's talking to himself, he's asking for Jon's mercy and forgiveness for what he has to do. Stephen sure knows how to pile on. 😭
If this scene doesn’t break you, you have a serious problem. So many moments that are heart wrenching, but him repeating “heaven, heaven, I’m in heaven”, is the most brutal thing I’ve ever experienced in a film. 34 year old man and I sob like a child.
An absolute tour de force in acting by Micheal and Tom with a great supporting cast. It helped me get through this scene knowing it would have been far more torture for John to stay alive and feel all the things he was feeling. He made his choice and it was a mercy.
The Green Mile and Walk The Line were filmed at the Tennessee State Prison in Nashville. Chosen as one of the last Gothic architecture prison that was prominent for time setting of the film. My father actually worked there in the mid 70's.
Im 1:00 and already snotty. I hate this movie because it makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME 🤦🏾♀️😭😭😭😭 RIP Micheal Clarke Duncan aka john Coffey (like the drink, but not spelled the same)❤
I cannot imagine how the disciples felt looking at Jesus on the cross, condemned to death as an innocent man...for all our sins. Looking at the reactors' reactions to this particular scene, I have a good idea of how that scene 2000+ years must have looked like.
Such is the brilliance of Stephen King. My husband used to be a Deputy Coroner, and one day he got a call from the state prison, asking if he would be interested in carrying out executions.... I knew it would change him irrevocably, and I was so thankful that he told them no.
How many of you remember how the Green Mile was originally published? It was in serial form. In 6 monthly installments. The terrible thing about that was that I could read those books in a day or two (at most) then wait a month for the next part
@@charlottehardy822 of course it's that way with all his books. You can't put them down because you have to know what's going to happen next. Then your done and in withdrawal until the next book
I wonder how many people don't realise that this was a 'second coming' movie. "People like that don't just fall out of the sky..." "My name's John Coffey (J.C.). Like the drink, but it's not spelt the same way." Power to heal, to resurrect, grants long life to his executioner, "The Green Mile" and not 'the miracle mile', singing 'I'm in Heaven' etc.
I get that seething hate for them wanting to increase his suffering , but to be fair , they caught him with their bodies covered in their blood . They were convinced ! I do however think if that was real , the guards would have an obligation to share that information with them . And they should have taken them to see what he saw . To alleviate their pain and to get that little weasel that killed them .
@@zipporahlewis4908 They genuinely believe John Coffey raped and murdered their two small daughters. They’re just as much victims as he is. And remember, John Coffey was accepting of his death because he couldn’t take the suffering anymore.
This is a testament, of what you think you know compared to what you think you know. When you think you know, if you actually think you know, then check yourself, because you don't
Totally agree. I’ve never been able to watch “The Green Mile” again, which is a one-off for me and “Schindler’s List” is the only film that I’ve ever watched in the cinema where the entire audience walked out of the theatre in total silence at the end. Both films put me through an emotional wringer. Very powerful.
@@juliethompson1786I’ve read the books twice at least . They came out in serial form! We had to read a chapter wait a month or so and read the next chapter ! Pure torture . Then of course you needed to read it from start to finish through like a normal book for continuity . The movie was just as brutal they did a stellar job .
Can't fermenter when I first watched this awesome film but I know I have it on Dvd and Blu Ray and I've watched it once or twice every year since it was bought out. The acting by everyone is phenomenal.
Emotionally draining to see all the reactors going through their own personal wrestling with life/death, justice, injustice, love. Stephen King outdid himself in setting a scene, putting humanity through the roller coaster ride of the metaphysical and religious possibilities.
John Coffey was played by Michael Clark Duncan. Michael Jeter portrayed Edward Delacroix, the prisoner who's fingers were broken and trained the mouse. He passed away in 2003.
The first time I saw this movie, I hardly cried. I was furious at them for making me want to cry..all .movie..long . I swore I'd never watch it again, but now I watch it through reactions. Easier this way
You know that throughout history people of all different ethnicities have been executed erroneously, right? Or are you that stupid and selfish? Being a certain skin tone doesn't make anybody any more special than anyone else. Get over yourself.
Maybe only 1 other movie gets such an emotional response as this. Hatchi. Some are clise, but John Coffeys execution wrecks more people than any other that i know of.
Just come across this vid. If you dont cry aftet this scene you have no emotions. This and shawshank redemption two of the best stephen king addaptations 9fall time
John Coffey was an Angel of the Light. The truth is, we corrupt humans in some way or another will snuff out the lightforce of angels who live amongst us.
John Coffey is a Christ figure. He appeared out of nowhere, as if he had just “fallen out of the sky.” He had foreknowledge of future events. He can see the good or evil that is in men’s hearts. He can heal illness and afflictions and resurrect the dead (if it’s not too late). He is innocent, with a pure soul, yet he is made to suffer and die because of the sins and wickedness of others. And even his initials are J.C., just like Jesus. (Recall the scene where John is watching his first-ever flicker show, and the light from the movie projector is illuminating his head from behind, just like a halo: The Christian symbolism is unmistakable.) John has an acute, highly developed sense of empathy, which is why he can feel Del’s pain from afar. Unfortunately, this also means that Coffey can sense all of the cruelty, suffering, and evil going on in the world around him - an ability that he is unable to control or turn off, by the way - which caused him great distress over the course of his lifetime, eventually prompting him to seek relief through death…
This movie I love/hate. As I said before to other viewers sites, there's another movie similar to this one starring Louis Gossett Jr. called Caroline Skeleton. It's based on a true story. It made me the same way as this one.
I can't help but wonder why John is so afraid of the dark. Being so in tune with the world in his special way, he would know if there is actually something to fear or not. What does he know about the dark?
@@kizzashizza Interesting and valid. But then, I haven't read the book. And you know with Mr King there's a lot more layers to the story as in all his novels.
Frank Darabont's adaptations of Stephen King's Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mike are the most accurate to the books and top S tier. Amazing! You HAVE to cry if you have a heart. And the actors of both movies were excellent.
The film doesn't let you out of its clutches. You're there until the end when the most barbaric of all killing machines does its work. I think it forces the viewer to think about what this chair means and how many may have sat on it, completely innocently. For me, just one lapse in judgment is enough to destroy this dirty thing. A brilliant film with exceptionally good actors.
This movie belongs in a vault as one of the greatest pieces of cinema ever filmed.
The entire cast deserved an Oscar for their performances. Especially Michael Clark Duncan.
