watching *THE GREEN MILE* severely triggered my allergies (REACTION)

"On the day of my judgment... what am I going to say? That it was my job?" That line kills me every single time!

I love it when reactors are emotional… if you don’t cry watching this, something is wrong with you.

It was a kindness he did to the parents of the girls. He didn't want them to know they let the killer into their home & gave him access to the girls. He let them hate him as a way of taking on their pain. And he made sure Wild Billy got his just deserts anyway.

Most people think of Stephen King as a horror writer, but I think some of his best work is these stories about humanity and friendship: This one, Shawshank Redemption, amd Stand By Me are the best, and two of those don't even have supernatural elements

Percy is probably one of the most hated characters ever created. This movie is such an emotional rollercoaster.

One thing that was pointed out to me: John Coffey was scared of the dark, but as revealed when he healed Melinda, he had to go into the dark to heal. He had to face that fear every time.

The quaver in Tom Hanks voice when he says “Roll on 2” gets me every time.

The innocence of Del’s friendship with his mouse is so moving. Whatever awful thing he did, this film gives him some humanity. Thats the beauty of the story.

Michael Clarke Duncan was 6"5", David Morse (Brutal) is 6'4", and James Cromwell (Hal) is 6' 7" Tricky camera angles made John seem much larger than the others.

The Green Mile is rightly called a masterpiece. Easily one of the finest works any of those actors has been in.

Brutal is the best friend every man needs.

One of the best roles Michael C Duncan ever portrayed, if this movie doesn't pull you in and make you feel something, you're already dead inside. Great flick, happy I found your channel!

Loved your reaction - it's definitely one of MCD's best performances. Some interesting info: Most of the guards' tears during the execution was very real. In fact, the actor who plays the guard, Dean, was practically sobbing as they filmed it. Here's an interesting fact about the age element. An average house mouse lives about 2 years. Mr. Jingles died at 64 (it says in the book). That's 32 times the lifespan of a normal mouse. In 1930s USA, the average lifespan of a man was 63.5 years. By that math, Paul Edgecombe (Tom's character) could possibly live for over 2,000 years. That's one hell of an accidental curse. Here's some additional disturbing info - almost no one else had a peaceful death. A lot of the people who could have stopped the execution, or delayed it, did die soon after it. The warden (whose wife John healed) died 9 years later of a stroke. His wife died of a heart attack a year later. Dean (the younger guard who doesn't sneak John out with the others) is killed by a prisoner 4 months after the execution. The sheriff, who was a massive racist in the book and that arrested John, died of a heart attack shortly after the execution while having relations with an underage African American girl. Even the little girls' parents didn't get off unscathed. The mom died of a heart attack and the dad died barely a month after the execution of a stroke. Brutus, the tall guard, lived into his fifties and died 25 years after the execution of a heart attack. Percy died 33 years later in a mental hospital (I think his initial punishment may have been considered "enough"). Harry, the last of the guards, lived for another 50 years before dying of cancer. The Green Mile actually takes place in the same universe as several of Stephen King's other books, including Carrie, IT, and The Shining. This was John's power, or his Shine.

What a wonderful reaction to this beautiful movie. Seriously. (Btw, David Morse is the actor you liked so much.) 1:02:53 That song was huge. It's "Cheek to Cheek". The movie couple is Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. From the 30s musical "Top Hat".

It's ok to cry. Especially to this movie. We all have.

"So, Percy… he’s a prick!!" Got it in one. 👏

Michael Clarke Duncan was a great actor that deserved more recognition.

Onion ninjas are a real thing and they show up at the darndest moments. They make your eyes sweat something awful, make your nose run, and sometimes turn you into a blubbering mess.

41:35 judging by the accent, the last name Delacroix plus the French I'd say the prisoner Del with the mouse was a cajun from Louisiana. John Coffey was feeling what Del was going through as he died.

20 years and I'm still not emotionally recovered from this movie. 😢
