Yes he should get this fucking oscar, but they wouldnt appreciate him by this way. Because he is a big african men who often acted in mainstream U.S. films as a detractor of American life. Oscar is a bitch of business not the dignity of Actors. Duncan is death.
That was a good year. Cruise was amazing in "Magnolia" as was Haley Joel Osment in "The Sixth Sense," but I wanted Duncan too. Michael Caine, who won, was good in "The Cider Houses Rules," but Duncan was on another level here.
Lone Star Always take blacks triple the time to get what is owed to them - at the time this was filmed there was no way they were giving him any award.Just shows how not so far of the race narrative was in real life.
I'm tired, boss. Tired of being 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 :(
He literally just described how life is for people sometimes it's too hard to handle too much hate to much fighting I get tired of all the ugliness in the world too
Both of you are correct and I'll say this "did god create us to be this way with each other? If so, tch we deserve so much pain. Excepts those who are new to the world".
But in the film, he saw angels dancing on this earth. Joy is defined via pain, and vice versa. Find your joys and look for the pain in them or caused by them, and rail against that pain forever. Humans live to resist
"Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other." If ever a single line from a movie got to me, it's that one. Mainly because it holds SO true to this day. Seeing everything that's happening in the world nowadays, I can't help but to get emotional. People dying for no reason, people being persecuted for their views, orientation, etc. All we want is PEACE and HARMONY.
This is the first time in my life that I cried during a movie The Lion King didn't do it for me as a kid, nor did Titanic. But this one...this movie had the power.
Zachary Thomas the book is amazing, one of King’s best in my opinion. The movie is actually very, very faithful to it so chances are that if you like the film, you’ll like the book.
I think one of the most impressive parts of the man's acting is that he had probably a bunch of sizeable camera equipment in his face and yet he was able to act like that. I think it's possible to get good at it, but imagine yourself conveying such feelings while having like 20-30 people staring at you with a huge pack of cameras, microphones and so on. Really impressive to me.
Ramsay Bolton I’m saying it’s scientifically impossible for nothing to create anything. Much less everything. What gender came first ? And how long did that gender wait until the other gender evolved. And what came first. The reproductive organs or the desire to reproduce? Chicken and the egg question. It’s very simple yet can’t be answered. I don’t say this as a smart ass or cruel.
"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's going to or coming from, 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 every day. There's too much of it - it's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?" Micheal Clarke Duncan, This man was a great actor. May he be always be remembered.
This materpiece was released in 1999, didn't even know it existed, so glad I found it in 2021, what an heart touching performance by Michael Clarke Duncun.
I’m so sorry but at 4:04 look at how innocent he Is,I mean seriously every time I look at that face I think about how this world really did mistreat one of gods true miracles:(
Reminds of why i left the Marine Corps. Lost too many friends and hurt too many ppl. I was tired of putting on a mask and lying to myself the reasons i did what i did. The guilt and loneliness eats at u even though it has bn over 10 yrs. Im an atheist and if God was real. I know i breakdown and cry. I deserve hell. I dont blame anyone but myself. I cant even stand to look in the mirror somedays.
I know this is a very late response, but I’m Sorry for all the pain you’ve gone through my friend. I’m a pagan and thus see this life as just another lesson, with death being a short respite from the next lesson. However, I think I can say this: if you believe you deserve hell, you are clearly repentant and thus deserve peace in the next life, whatever that may be.
See friend, that very remorse is the reason you won’t be condemned... just like, in the film, no one hates Delacroix despite his crimes. He showed true penitence like the good thief who asked for mercy at the end of his life, to use a Christian allegory (fitting for this film)
"When I stand before God and he asks me why I killed one of his true... miracles, what do I say?" this is the one line in the world that immediately makes me anti-death penalty
Its a Good line, and this man is a good man, which Is why he is being described as one of Gods Miracles, he is the exception, and was innocent (I dont agree with death pen unless there is 100 percent proof) but the fact is there are evil people out there, that have done some horrific acts to peoples family members, and they deserve to face the Death Pen as justice for their crimes.
@Kinosis79 that's different though. God, the father, the creator has the right to carry out the death penalty as he is the one above all, what gives us the right?
@@Governor2310 exactly ,we never had the right, we are actually playing god in our own world called "society", we judge against those who are different , the outcasts
@Kinosis79 No God did not thru our disobedience we brought death and everything else thats wrong in this world into existence thru disobedience and fractured the creation that God made for us.
I was never good at writing these, but for there's not much words can say for this man leaving us, but he lives forever in his movies. Rest in Peace Michael Clarke Duncan. You will be missed.
Of course he passed away, Einstein. Did you not see the movie projector? This must have happened in the 30s or 40s and even if he wasn’t executed he would be dead by now anyway.
Remember the people that were killed many years ago just for the color of their skin. Nobody tweeted about them, nobody covered their news story. They died alone, hated by everyone around them for no fault of theirs. Remember friends, let us not hate each other just because we look different.
Paul - John... tell me what you want me to do. You want me to take you out of here? Just let you run away? See how far you could get? JOHN COFFEY-Why would you do such a foolish thing? Paul - - On the day of my judgment... when I stand before God... and he asks me why did I... Did I kill one of his true... miracles... what am I going to say? That it was my job? It's my job. JOHN COFFEY-You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you're hurting and worrying. I can feel it on you. But you ought to quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, 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... every day. There's too much of it. Too much
I love this story so much. I just wish I could stop crying toward the end. I've watched this movie at least 5 times and sob through the last 20 minutes at least each time.
few actors truly leave their mark on the world, they leave movies that make an lasting impression on all of us. From Green Mile, to Armageddon to Daredevil and all in between you truly were a phenomenal actor. I've never gotten more choked up in a movie as I do with the Green Mile, you will be missed and your movies will always be loved. rest in peace
This movie makes me feel like a kid, teaches me to be a man, makes me feel so small and feel so strong, it makes me ugly cry in my soul and teaches me how to keep a stiff upper lip, i feel such profound sorrow and EPIC love, this movie takes me through the ebb and flow of life each and every time. Every time, I am truly moved....a masterpiece
This movie touches my soul and even tho ive watched this movie 20 times, i still cry every time. Completely outstanding performance by so many actors in this movie. R.I.P Michael Clarke...
I've cried during many video games: Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Metal Gear Solid 4, and especially Mother 3, but this is the only movie that I've ever cried during, and I've never cried so much in my life.
I almost never cry during films, but this one... jeez, this movie has the power... Can’t even describe how incredible this film is and so depressing but beautiful
The first time I saw this and I remembered older Paul’s reaction to the song in the movie and I saw this exact moment. Manly tears just flowed. What a movie!
This scene is easily the best in the movie...The amount of emotion and imagery, and the way it was portrayed was incredible. Especially to somebody who understands what John is saying on a personal level...
One of the few actors that could seamlessly transition from comedy to drama and excel so greatly on both mediums. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. You will be missed but your work will be appreciated for years to come.
We were watching Top Hat in my costuming class and I just started bawling when we got to the Cheek to Cheek part. I just said 'Green Mile', and they got it.
I'm not suicidal! In fact I'm against anything in books or movies that mk it seem ok! But I have to say that sometimes I know how John feels. I did a quiz titled "Something no one knows about you" and I got "It's both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply" They got it right
I remember seeing this when I was a little kid. This scene has stayed with me ever since, it resonates with me so much. No matter how ugly people can be, you cannot help but do good, because that's what you are. Even when you are tired.
How did This movie not get any nominations it's acted so brilliantly. Gets me every time. I can only watch this shit like once every 5 years too sad for me lol
i've not cried, not in 2 years, not in pain nor in suffering. but this scene, this is something more than just a movie this is something great. something i will never forget, a forever memory of life
This is called “Empathy” people like us who feel it, feel pain of every animal, human, even plants and trees. Not having it, is scientifically proven to be a brain damage. In addition to psychological death, where person is alive but dead inside. And thus only feels sensation, rather than emotion!
Wow well said. That's true, and the sad part is the majority of people do lack empathy, hence all the violence in this world. Society judges those who have empathy...
I was reading this 6 part Stephen King masterpiece back in September of '96. The books made me cry, and so does the movie. One of my all-time favourites.
The story is obviously an allegory to the Passion... but there are quite a bit of similarities you may not notice at first... The scene with Coffey healing Melinda is very similar to the group of men lowering the leper to Jesus. Delacroix and Wild Bill are like the two thieves Jesus was crucified with.. one is rebellious to the end (Wild Bill/the first thief), the other repentant (Del/the second thief). Paul's suggestion that Coffey run off echoes Peter trying to talk Jesus out of going through with the crucifixion, both are reprimanded for even suggesting it. I'm sure there's plenty more
