The Green Mile is about redemption, and how those who are on death row who though they have done evil things, we should realize that some of them can be redeemed prior to paying for their crime. Yet, it is also about empathy, and how we cannot be so hard hearted as to be cruel. But, really it is about so much more...it is about the human condition as a whole...Paul (Tom Hanks) says it in the end, " I think about all the people I've loved, now long gone. I think about my beautiful Jan, and how I lost her so many years ago. I think about all of us walking our own Green Mile, each in our own time."...The Green Mile represents our long walk to death, and passing over to where ever or what ever we go to next in our journey, and what we go through along that long walk on our own "Green Mile".

Here's some tidbit of info: 1) Michael Clarke Duncan paid tribute to Tom Hanks at a celebration of Tom and saying that Tom was the one who helped/guided him how to do this character. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-47grTxhtN8o.html 2) Gary Sinise (the man sitting on the porch of the house talking about John Coffey) was the second movie that Gary did with Tom. The first one was Forest Gump, the second one was this one and the third was Appollo 13. In the scene where Lt Dan shows his new legs (titanium same as the shuttle), gives a hint of Appollo 13. Gary was so recognized after the movie Forest Gump, that people started seeing him in public and saying Hi Lt Dan ... so Gary started a band called the Lt Dan Band, and goes around to entertain the Veterans and is heavily involved with the Veterans and military as he has many in his immediate family (and his wife's family) that went to war and knows about PTSD, etc. Listen to his story here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3bbTOjBi7nA.html Also, of course Gary Sinise would be at the same function as Michael and took to the stage to do a tribute to Hanks. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rBhL2OztgFY.html BTW, here is a video of Tom Hanks surprising Gary Sinise, as Forest Gump when the Lt Dan Band is doing a live concert. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ac2SfUUGZU.html 3) Some may not be too religious, but if you notice, John Coffey's initials are JC ... coincidence? 4) When Belinda asks where did John get his scars, he doesn't remember, but some have said that since there was no record of him before the girls' incident, that he may have gotten his scars from the days of slavery. 5) The movie where Paul loses it at the beginning and again, near the end when John is watching it, is the classic movie Top Hat, with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing to the song Cheek-to-Cheek.

I'm watching you watching the Green Mile. The reason Paul was not interested in seeing the doc about the urinary infection, was because they couldn't do much back then. Penicillin wasn't available until after the war. They had sulfa based drugs that made you almost as sick as your original illness. Most people back then had to power through an infection, or, they just died of it.

OOF! Gets me literally every time. Also, apparently, Del raped a girl, and I think accidentally killed her and to hide the body, he set a fire which caught to another apartment building and ended up killing a few people including 2 children. Even knowing this, I still cried for him. He was obviously on the spectrum and had he gotten the help he needed, he wouldn't have gone down this road. And it just breaks my heart. This movie is just top notch! Also hurts more now that Michael Clarke Duncan passed away 💔🙏🏼

I always get a kick out of Wild Bill's (Sam Rockwell) drinking the cup of Royal Crown with the sleeping pills dissolved in it; Bill lifts his pinky finger like he was from high society or something. To me the most poignant line is John's last one: "I'm sorry for what I am"; Del said, "I'm sorry for what I do."

I read the Stephen King novel before the film was made. The backstory on each of the deathrow inmates is riveting. John Coffey's attorney said that prior to John's arrest, there was no record of his existence, "It's as if he dropped out of the sky," (which, in a sense, this is true). UTI infections were not easy to treat in depression-Era 1930's. Penicillin was not available until after WWII.

Paul was 44 the year John Coffey walked the Green Mile (1935) which means he was born in 1891. So, in '99 Paul was 108 and Mr Jingles was 64 or 65 years old. A pet mouse in captivity has an average life expectancy of about 4-5 years... makes you wonder how long Paul will live, eh?! Several hundred years probably. And his penance is to lose everyone he loves, to outlive them all.

I loved your reaction to this movie. This is one of the movies that I seek out the reactions to, because it is such a phenomenal film. Everything was so well thought out and crafted. Every actor gave the performance of a lifetime here. Even Percy's actor. It takes talent and skill to portray someone who is so evil and petty, yet seems like a real person, not a caricature. Michael Clarke Duncan was, beyond, unbelievable in his role as John Coffey. He deserved far more recognition than he did for his role here. The reason I watch reactions to this film is because I don't think I can stomach watching it again, in it's entirety, by myself, and watching with people like you lets me feel like I'm watching it with someone new. Please keep up the good work and keep reacting. There are a lot of good films out there to enjoy.

1. YOU WILL CRY 2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production, so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie". 3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. 4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row. 5. This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (MCD)😇 and Best Cast but unfortunately neither won.😭😭 6. Players in other King adaptations: Jeffery DeMunn: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, Storm of the Century and William Sadler: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist. David Morse: The Langoliers. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part. 7. Goof: Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene. 8. IRL James Cromwell is a vegan and didn't want to grill meat for the BBQ scene but was told that in 1935 people actually ate meat so he agreed to have some on the grill. 9. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. BTW Kudos to Doug Hutchison for the great job of playing Percy.👌EVERYONE hates him. 10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge. 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan (RIP). They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography to make John taller. 12 The scene where John takes Mr. Jingles for safe keeping before Del's execution, they used a real mouse, and it pooped on Paul's shoulder, and he brushed it off. 13. Now we know what the "day old is fine" dry toast is for. 14 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced. the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. (GOAT) 15. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!

It's [also] really rare for a movie to make me cry. I don't remember my exact tendency when I first saw this movie a long time ago, but I was quite emotionally repressed in general when I was younger, especially when watching movies with other people. But on the other hand, when I saw "Inside Out" in my 30's... THAT one noticeably broke me, after decades of not getting very affected by movies. A few years after "Inside Out", my emotions got another sneak attack by "Interstellar". Few more years after that, a re-watch (20 years after I first saw it) of "The Land Before Time" triggered the most intense cry of my LIFE. Seven month after that, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" triggered equally intense sobbing (after the movie, when the wheels in my head started turning).

John is always obeyed. It's easy to miss as he's so soft spoken and polite. If he'd wished for a different outcome he could have made it happen. He's also probably very old. He has scars on his back that suggest he was beaten with a whip as a child. But when was he a child? As for swearing in the Southern US-its best not to until you've picked up when it's appropriate. Don't swear in front of older folks at all. Disregard anyone you may hear doing it. They weren't raised right.

That movie MOST surprised me... after a long 30 years of not getting very surprised by a movie! "Inside Out" is animated (Pixar) but if you'd rather have a live action one... I'd suggest "Interstellar" if you haven't see that one yet.

Stephen King...the best storyteller ever even though he's mostly known for his horror stories.

First time I watched it was a dvd rental (yeah, back in the day), and I was sobbing uncontrollably after the movie. It was the first time any movie had affected me so. I think there was only one other movie that affected me like that and it was My Sister's Keeper. But this was a great movie, and I've watched it again and again. This was a great reaction and I'll hope to watch more of his other ones. Thanks for a good watch.

I don't remember my exact tendency when I first saw this movie a long time ago, but I was quite emotionally repressed in general when I was younger, especially when watching movies with other people. But on the other hand, when I saw "Inside Out" in my 30's... THAT one noticeably broke me, after decades of not getting very affected by movies. A few years after "Inside Out", my emotions got another sneak attack by "Interstellar". Few more years after that, a re-watch (20 years after I first saw it) of "The Land Before Time" triggered the most intense cry of my LIFE. Seven months after that, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" triggered equally intense sobbing (after the movie, when the wheels in my head started turning).

@@sathvamp1 I think we get sappier the older we get...8-) Inside Out did the same to me come to think of it. Just that simple melody of a memory will already start to stir things up in me. I think also, if I watch a movie by myself, especially in these past few years, I 'get' to be freer with my emotion. But if I watch something in a theater...who knows what might happen now. 8-)))

​@@Codametal I've definitely heard that idea a lot, regarding "the older we get..." :) And yes, I hear you regarding feeling freer with emotions when watching something by oneself. I saw "Interstellar" by myself, BUT during that "first-in-a-long-time" incident with "Inside Out", while I CAN say it "broke me", since I was watching with two friends at the time, I actually put in a TON of effort to NOT shed tears in front of them. But it was actually SO difficult to hold back, it actually felt like it hurt my brain, lol! In fact, if I could go back in time and make the decision again, I don't think I would have cared that much about holding back :P Never in my life had it been SO hard to hold back expression of emotion during a movie, so I found that by itself surprising. Even MORE surprising was... a bit after the movie was over, I realized I was craving MORE tearjerker movies (which was also historically NOT like me to want). After a bit of research I concluded that probably a ton of feel-good brain endorphins likely got released in conjunction with the "almost-crying" event... which could account for the "wanting more of that" feeling, lol!

​@@giannag4581 I can't speak for Codametal if you were asking them, but in my case: It was only until about a year ago that I saw Schindler's list myself... so yup people have all different movie experiences (or lack thereof) at certain ages :) Also, in my case, it's actually inconclusive whether or not Schindler's List would have made me cry upon a totally UNSPOILED first-time watch... because I am sorry to say that I had seen far too many reactions prior to giving it a full watch on my own. And in my case regarding expressing tearful emotions, I get desensitized VERY easily if I first see shorter, out-of-context clips in the form of movie reactions. Similarly, if any given movie does trigger tears upon a first-time watch, I have not yet found a movie that has done it a second time (with the exception of a 20-years-later re-watch of The Land Before Time; in that case I guess my emotional brain had re-set itself!) Be assured though, I did soon learn my lesson (in terms of at least trying to watch the FULL movie on my own FIRST, before watching any reactions to it). For example, I am intentionally NOT watching reactions to "Balto", "The Adam Project," "Grave of the Fireflies" etc... before I see those on my own.

Great job! Of all the folks i have watched react to this movie, you are the only one who noticed that the amount of "gnats" John coughs up are in proportion to the level of healing that takes place. The amount that he transfers to Percy is significantly more than he expelled after reviving Mr. Jingles, but the amount Percy expels is less than what was released after Paul's healing. That's what caused Percy's insanity.

stopped at 20 minutes and just have to say the Mr Jingles scene is probably the most normal reaction I've seen, you can see it took 2 seconds to click what happened and that's pretty much what all of us did, the sound didn't hit you like it does some but the sight did and the horror on your face as the realisation of what Percy did sunk in is just perfect.

OSCAR, I hope you see my comment, as I am a month late in watching this. YOU have NOW become my FAVORITE MOVIE REACTOR. I LOVE "The Green Mile" have seen it many times, and cry with each viewing. I have watched SO MANY other reactors to "The Green Mile" and YOURS was the BEST one of them all, on several accounts. You don't talk over the dialogue, your reactions show that you have empathy and a heart, and MOST of all, the EDITING. I don't know if YOU edit the movie yourself for You Tube, or you have someone else that does it for you. WHICHEVER it is, it was the BEST of all the reactions I have seen. You actually showed ALL the most important and best scenes. ESPECIALLY, when Coffey explains WHY he is OK with dying.....particularly the line "I'm tired of people being ugly to each other." SO MANY reactors totally leave THIS line OUT in their reaction. To me it is very important and makes the viewer fully understand WHY he wants to die. He can't handle the pain of all the ugliness in the world, since he is an empath, and feels it. We don't know HOW old Coffey really is, and where he came from. I have a feeling that he has been wandering through life for many hundreds years, possibly hundreds. Who knows? ALSO, at the end when Paul says when he looks out his window from his bed..."IF HE CAN MAKE A MOUSE LIVE SO LONG...HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE." I can't tell you how many reactors have left THAT line out as well. AGAIN, your EDITING, or the person who did it, deserves an award! I am new to you, and just subscribed. I watched your reaction to "THE TITANIC," and "THE SHINING" tonight as well. BOTH wonderful reactions AND EDITING! I look forward to watching MORE of your reactions. GREAT JOB, Oscar, and THANK YOU!!

The slimy little guard, Percy, was Eugene Tooms (Doug Hutchison) in the X-File from the 1990s, a liver eating serial killer. I can't see that actor in anything without thinking of the bile-secreting killer. This role was fitting... I liked this movie but after the dry sponge scene, I haven't watched it since.

Paul was 44 the year John Coffey walked the Green Mile (1935) which means he was born in 1891. So, in '99 Paul was 108 and Mr Jingles was 64 or 65 years old. A pet mouse in captivity has an average life expectancy of about 4-5 years... makes you wonder how long Paul will live, eh?! Several hundred years probably. And his penance is to lose everyone he loves, to outlive them all.

When they were filming the scene where John cures Paul of his urinary tract infection, Michael Clark Duncan didn’t feel right having to grab Tom Hanks’ penis. So, Tom went and got an empty water bottle and filled it about Two-thirds of the way full and put it in his pants so MCD could grab it and not feel bad. These actors are just as nice as the characters they play. The scene when Mr. Jingles was given to John while Mr. Delaquois went to die, he had put Mr. Jingles on Tom Hanks’ shoulder and Tom walks him over to John so John can hold him until it was over. You see Tom wipe his shoulder because his uniform has to always be clean. He actually did that because Mr. Jingles has pooped on his shoulder for real! Tom handled it well!

Very few movies make me cry every time I watch them. This and Armageddon always do without fail. Ironically Michael Clarke Duncan is in both. Such a great actor and such a wholesome guy. RIP. Also, I have yet to see a reactor connect the dots. When Tom Hanks' character was talking to lieutenant Dan, he says how he seemingly dropped out of the sky. His name is also John Coffey, initials JC and has the ability to heal. Also, the movie he sees is called Top Hat and that dance is my favorite movie dance of all time. The dancers are Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

I'm not sure what happens with Percy and Jhon, at first I thought jhon like directly sent Percy to kill that awful guy, then I thought he gave him the disease but why Percy would kill the baby killer? And then the best answer I have is that by giving him the flys Percy explicitely saw what that man did and couldn't help it so that made him kill that other guy and end up traumatized for watching what he had done to those girls. Anyway, great reaction I always cry seeing this movie and the reactions aswell.

This movie is insane from start to finish. I originally never wanted to see it because I'd heard just how upsetting it is, but I'm so glad I watched it, and I loved your reaction to it too. The casting was something beyond perfect, and every single actor was outstanding, including Doug Hutchinson (Percy.) It takes a really good actor to make so many people hate their character so vehemently, and he really played that character well. I always wonder how difficult it is to play such horrific characters/villains, and I gotta give it up to those brave enough to do it so well! Such an incredible movie. Also about John's power, I think it's kind of implied he has a form of the Shine, the power that Danny Torrence had in the film The Shining! A few other Stephen King characters (are implied to) have forms of it, including Carrie and Beverly from IT! (Which if you haven't already watched are two more awesome movies I definitely recommend!!) I think it's a really cool way of connecting his books a bit more indirectly! Your reactions are always awesome! Thanks for sharing them with us!!

Maybe John IS an angel. "like he dropped out of the sky" and the halo like effect around his head during the flicker show and he said "they is angels, just like up in heaven". He said Casiopiea looked like an angel. He doesn't like the dark - a metaphor for being away from the light of God? However, angels cannot heal. But still, he may be quite old due to...what he has. He had scars and no record, so maybe he was around since the days of slavery or even before. He mentioned that things were similar "all over the world", so who knows. He may also have "the shining" like in the story of the same name or Mr. Brautigan (?) from Hearts in Atlantis, basically one with the gift like those who are sought out to be used as breakers for the Dark Tower. IDK, so many things about this movie make it my favorite movie, and it makes me think a lot. I read the book two or three times, and it has the same affect on me. There are many on my list but this is number one.

There is a lot of religious symbolism throughout this story. The large cathedral-like windows over the guards desk and glows over the green mile; the halo of the movie projector around John's head. Mr. Jingles is 60 years old by the end of the film.
