SHOULDA BROUGHT TISSUES! The Green Mile Movie Reaction PT 2 - Michael Clarke Duncan, Tom Hanks 

"People who are in positions of control, do it because they want the control" The lady gets it. And this is why we live in a criminal world with a bunch of sociopaths and psychopaths ruling over us whether they pretend to be right wing or left wing. After all who else would seek power but someone who desires power over others? That was a wonderful empathetic reaction, I hope you both have wonderful lives.

Great reaçtion 😊 Thank you

🎉 One of the Greatest of Films...it does not matter how many times I have seen it. I still cry ...like a baby. Sadly 😢 The Academy didn't give Michael Clark Duncan the Academy Award he deserved.

Absolutely! He captured the Childlike Innocence that those Touched By God and given a Great Task must possess.

I agree but it was mostly for Dell’s death because he never touched Percy until he passed him that tumor up till then he didn’t see his heart or Bill’s

Yeah! Definitely strong parallels. The symbolism, the writing, the score and the acting. This film is superb in so many aspects. But man, definitely one of those speechless by the end kind of film for us.

Ghey

The St Christopher medal that Melinda gave to John is symbolic. St Christopher, whose original name is Reprobus, was a man of great size and strength who devoted himself to serve the strongest king in the Land. One way he helped was by helping travelers cross a dangerous river. One day a child asked to ride on Christopher's shoulders across the river, but the infant seemed to grow heavier and heavier with every step. When they arrived on the opposite shore, the child identified himself as Christ, telling Reprobus (St Christopher) that he had just carried the weight of the world. Saint Christopher became one of the most popular patron saints for travelers

No

Another symbolism is Melinda Moores.Her inintals M M like Mary Magdeline,a woman Jesus Christ cured.

I remember when this came out as serialized. I was one of those people in line at my local bookstore. It was fantastic! A true masterpiece.

Man that line... It destroyed us.

Aww holy crap, this comment!! Thank you so so much for that - we feel the same way when we watch reaction videos. Sincerety just becomes transcendent, and it's something we value deeply so it's great to hear that we managed to meet those standards!

@@OfficialMediaKnights I feel the SAME way that BEVERLY KITCHEN said to you above. I LOVED your reaction and that you weren't ashamed to show your emotions. I have seen it many times as well and I STILL cry EVERY TIME! Sometimes I think I must be sort of an empath....because I cry a lot and since I was a child, I was always able to "put myself in someone else's shoes" and know what they are feeling, Not to the extent that John Coffey could, like feeling Del's pain when he was being executed, but with tragedies which happen to other people, even people I don't know, that I see on the news, or read about, especially now. There are SO many awful things going on in our world today....the destruction in Ukraine and the suffering their people are going through, horrible weather and earthquakes destroying peoples homes and lives. ALL the mass shootings (and yet ANOTHER one just yesterday at a school killing 3 nine year olds, 2 teachers and a custodian), etc. I cry at all these things that I see happening, not to just people, but even to animals, so it is really hard on me sometimes. First time I saw the "GREEN MILE" and when John Coffey says before his execution how he is tired, and tired of all the ugliness people have to each other, STRUCK me and I could RELATE to how he felt, because it is how I FEEL much of the time, these days ( I just turned 76, so I have a lot of years to compare with. You were so right when you said Michael Clarke Duncan did such a fantastic job with his character. I can't imagine ANY OTHER ACTOR but him playing John Coffey. It was such a SHAME that he DID NOT get the OSCAR for his role that year at the ACADEMY AWARDS. Just so you know Michael Clark Duncan in reality is only one inch taller than "Brutal" (David Morse) who is 6' 4" tall, Mr. Duncan was 6'5" tall. They built a raised platform for him to walk on, so that he appeared so much taller than the other characters when near him. They also put a shorter bed in Coffey's cell to make Mr. Duncan look even larger than he was. I was devastated when he passed away in real life. He was an incredible actor, especially in this role. I also heard that in real life he was a very nice and sweet man. Such a shame RIP MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN.

I love that you don't hide it, or exaggerate it. plus, we can see you guys knows what you're talking about in terms of cinematography, which makes this channel very very enjoyable.

Felt the same way! You know growing up hearing how good this film is and that I should’ve watched it still didn’t prepare me for such an incredible film. This movie truly moved us and now it’s one of my top films I recommend. All thanks to you guys for recommending this ❤️

Oh my god, we never saw it that way!!! You are so right.. now we're just broke all over again...

The ending will never not be devastating 😭😭😭

You're not alone.

I read the books like 15yrs ago...what did Del do??

@@indiatastic he r@ped and murdered a young girl, started a fire to burn the evidence, the fire then proceded to kill 2 more children and 4 adults

Agreed!!! He was robbed of that Oscar, this performance was truly breathtaking!

@@OfficialMediaKnights no he wasn't. I hate when people saying this. Back then Oscar was really challenging, nothing compared to nowadays when we have 1 maybe 2 really good films per year. It was competition between him, Michael Caine (The Cinder House Rules), Tom Cruise (Magnolia), Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley), Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense). All those actors are incredibly talented and films are remarkable. I know everyone have preferences and personally i would gave Oscar to Haley Osment. But saying Michael Duncan was robbed, it's like saying that Michael Caine don't deserve it and that is very disrespectful.

​@@scover3he was robbed. End of story

@@xiSWIIFTix sorry, but your emotions not gonna change facts.

@@scover3 your grandma's emotions might

Ohhhh we heard of that recently, we read fantastic things about it! We'll definitely be reacting to that very soon!

God, I cried my eyes out. One of the best coming of age stories, brutal and honest. And the kids are amazing. Also a nice moment for us, who grew up with IT the miniseries, when you see some of the same kids in this one ❤❤😭😭

Whaaaat, no way?! I actually love the original IT, though it was not received well critically, it had such a fond place in my heart. So hearing that some of the actors are in that too is a huge joy to hear! Cannot wait to watch it!

@@OfficialMediaKnights I was 9 when I saw IT. I had snuck into my sisters room (She was 15 and had a tv) in the middle of the night to watch he first episode. I knew it something I wasn't suposed to do, and I REALLY wish I hadn't, cuz when the blood came out of the book, my brain absolutely melted!! I had nightmare for weeks, and had to wait a full week for episode 2 😭😭😂😂 I can still get chills and discomfort from certain scenes, and Tim Curry as Pennywise is just the GOAT 😍

YEEESSS! Tim Curry was AMAZING as Pennywise and really nailed the unhinged humorous yet murderous attitude! I (Denise) personally adore the IT book, my mom introduced me to it as a kid because even back then I loved horror, and of course eventuallyI found a way to watch the mini series somehow 😂 Ah good times!

Which goes to show you how talented he is…he can make a terrifying novel like it snd make you cry with green mile

He's a great storyteller but there are many better writers. Many people don't distinguish between the two, though.

I'm sorry to read of your beautiful Poppy passing. May she run free and be at peace. XX

Hahaha that moment definitely was a gem acting-wise! Such a talent!

Whooaaa thank you so much!!! What a kind comment, you truly made our day with this! Thank you!!

I feel the same way, really enjoy the reactions on this channel. That said, I had to comment when I saw "you're both thoughtful human BEANS." I had a good chuckle, and ironically, it took reading it a second time to pick up on it.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. You are so right - that is the beauty of art, the way it shows you the best in mankind. Like Brutal told Coffey, instead of focusing on those that hated him, to focus on the guards who loved him. Such valuable lessons to be learned.

Wow thank you so much, this is a huge compliment to us! Your support means the world! This movie was truly wonderful indeed!

Thank you so much for your support, the movie truly was incredible! The ending truly destroyed us and will stick with us for a very long time...

Have you seen Moon? If you haven't you should he is fantastic in it.

Right?! How many years must he have suffered, constantly barraged by such pain and hatred... Really does make you wonder, you're right!

I've often read that John was written as a "lost Angel." That he'd lost his memory of being one, and that was why he was, one, so "pure".. but also his size, the number of scars on him, etc.

Oh my goodness, completely forgot about the Rain Man!!! We definitely will be adding that to our list, thank you so much for your recommendation!!

Yesss!! We're also going to react to Stand By Me for sure!!

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment, support and subscription, we are truly lucky to have you here among us! You truly made our day! It's funny you said that because I (Denise) remember watching this as a child and though I could not remember most of the film, I distinctly remembered the ending and how much it devastated my little mind at the time... This movie is timeless, and it's truly wonderful to see it still being watched by so many!

Never got to read the book, but as a huge King fan, I'm definitely gonna buy it so I can read it! Thank you for the rec! - Denise

Thank you so so much, your support truly brightens our day! Much love back to Canada!!
