@@mikekay3313 Lots of crying for an empath. I know. I used to cry watching the old hallmark commercials. Sometimes it hurts too much. Most times it's a beautiful thing to have.

@@MoMoMyPup10 it's actually one of my favorite scenes and gets me crying every time when the warden's wife says to John Coffey "I dreamed of you, you were wandering in the dark, we were both wandering in the dark and we found each other!" Goosebumps AND tears😮😢❤
@@MoMoMyPup10 It also reminds us just how immoral the concept of dying for the crimes of the guilty is, something that all Christians seem to think is a noble gesture, but is the opposite.
@@HughJaxident67 lol its not immoral. If you kill someone or abuse a child you deserve to have your clock stopped. If you think otherwise then you're pathetic.
I grew up Roman Catholic, read the bible growing up many times in school etc. I lost my faith in highschool, in my 30's and whenever I watch this movie it always brings that faith i guess back and makes me question myself and everything. I really don't know what's on the other side but i do know we as humans really do need to be nicer to each other. Beautiful movie and wonderful reaction as always.
I learned Wushu. There is nothing, man. "Spirit" doesn't exist without body, it needs it. After you lose the body "you" degrade down to the basic instincts until you vanish all (start of that process was felt by some unfortunate students who break off form obdy for short period until master helped to get back). Like is most valuable thing we have.
I don't know why you drifted from your faith and it's none of my business. What I can tell you is that my children and I have been in the presence of God and our Savior. Miracles do happen and I know God is real. I have, through my own experiences, found much darkness within the foundations of Catholicism that are still found today. I do not believe its faithful followers are corrupted, but I question its leaders on several levels. None the less, I hope and pray you find your way back to God in your own time and way. I'll just leave that thought with you and leave the rest to the Father. God bless.
I don’t really comment a lot on UA-camrs videos, but your reactions always are the ones that I find entertaining even if you do get emotional. As a blind person, I feel like movies such as the green Mile can remind us that we need to be thankful for the life that we have and the things we get presented with. I honestly find certain movies to be entertaining and educational, even if they contain mild violence or adult language. i’m grateful that 20 years ago I was able to come into this country from south of the border and even though I didn’t have anything to my name, here I am 20 years later a high school graduate and a fan of reaction videos like yours. So keep up the good work and don’t ever be afraid to express yourself.
45:06 "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. Can you understand?" I understand, John :(
@@kaliwaliI also believe that John Coffey is supposed to be either a christ-like figure or the actual second coming! Several clues beside the fact that his initials are JC. He has premonitions and can see things that will happen! He's a gentle soul. He is able to heal the sick, raise the Dead! The only other person, if you go by biblical teachings and Catholic teachings, who calls God "God the Father" is Jesus Christ, being the son of God!! John Coffey says this when he's speaking to Paul when Paul asked him what does he say to God on Judgment Day when God asks him why he killed one of his true miracles! When John Coffey was watching the "flicker show", there is one shot showing the light of the projector coming from behind John's head making it look like a Halo!! Any depictions of Jesus Christ or Mary in paintings, pictures or drawings always show them with a Halo 😇 around their heads!! A regular Angel would NOT have the authority to take life! AS John Coffey said he punished BOTH those bad men, one of whom was killed!! This kind of action can only be done by God or Jesus!! The gift or infection of life is something else that is God-given and why Paul is able to live to The ripe old age that he becomes!! I may have missed other clues but those are the ones that I've caught that convinced me that John Coffey is definitely a parallel character to Jesus Christ himself!! Great reaction!!!
That mouse has lived more than 8x its natural lifespan which I believe is supposed to leave us wondering how long Paul may have to wait for death, perhaps a few centuries since the end also makes it appear possible Mr Jingles took his last breath as he falls asleep at the end of the movie. King is noted for horror, and in this case it's the horror of knowing you will outlive everyone you know and love is the fear. Paul is now an empty shell who wishes for death to come find him and end his suffrage and penance he feels for killing John.
What touches me the most about your reactions is the sincerity of emotions that you show. I've watched some reactors whom I believe I can tell they are faking it. But your reactions are sincere and honest. I knew this one was going to be tough on you. Great reaction Kali.
I was definitely moved by your reaction to this movie. The Green Mile is one of my favorite movies. You’ve earned my subscription to your channel! Looking forward to more of your reactions😀
You can tell what kind of heart someone has by what makes them emotional. You are ALL heart. Seen this movie many times and have seen many reactions to it and this is one of the few times someone's reaction has me literally tearing up. Loved this.
Sam Rockwell, who played prisoner Wharton hated the fact that he had to threaten the little girls as part of his character dialogue because he became good friends with them.
Toot Toot (janitor) was a prisoner but he’s what they regarded as a trustee. he’s a low security risk non-violent prisoner who can be trusted with janitorial tasks
And was played by one of Stephen King's favorite actors, Harry Dean Stanton. He had named the 2 guards Harry and Dean after the actor although in the book the names were the other way around, between the 2 characters
I found your channel by surfing through reaction videos for some of my favorite movies and this one is my number one go to for if I need a really good cry. I really appreciate the amount of empathy that you showed toward the characters and your ability to show it by letting your emotions even if they are raw show through. I’m going to go through your videos now and watch some more of your reactions as I think I found a new favorite channel to watch. Keep them coming and I’ll be watching for more videos like this one. Take care.
David Morse (Brutal) is such an underrated actor to me. He's one of those actors that you recognise but not "blockbuster" level of famous. Also, if you haven't seen it I'll make the obligatory recommendation to watch The Shawshank Redemption.
You're rhe first reactor I've watched to comment on John saying "I'm sorry for what I am" compared to the others who said "I'm sorry for what I've done"
@49:44...I hadn't made that correlation until you mentioned. Lots to think about now and probably a re-watch. You also pointed out a great point when John went into the dark to help the Warden's wife...even though it scared him. Hero's true sacrifice.
First time on the channel. What a lovely heartfelt reaction and excellent commentary! I never heard anyone suggest that John had to go into the dark to find and heal Melinda. Brilliant!! Subscribed. Watching The Green Mile definitely takes a toll emotionally. It is an amazing story by an amazing storyteller and beautifully acted throughout, but a heartbreaking film. This film really sheds a light on true goodness, true evil, and the heart-wrenching dilemma faced by men who know in their hearts that someone is innocent, but have no way to prove it. Add to that the suffering that John Coffey had to endure every day because of all the ugliness in the world. “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?” John was clearly too good for this world! Another top quality film you should react to is "Arrival" (2016 - Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker). Amy Adams gives an Oscar-worthy performance. It is an AMAZING film (wonderful acting and story-telling 📽) and is in my Top Five of All Time list.
Hey Kali, the journey of John Coffey is a gift and a curse to him. --------- He was just tired of absorbing all the suffering and hate in the world and wanted to end his time on this earth. He passed on a bit of himself to Tom Hanks, so we can see what JC faces. ----------- Such an amazing movie. Such deep concepts, ideas, moral conundrums. Some of the best writing expressed in Literature. Stephen King is a master level storyteller.
35:57 You got it. John is very, very old. He used to be a slave 70 years+ before this time. That's where he got a lot of his scars that he doesn't remember getting.
If Percy was to work at Briar Ridge, he would have tormented the patients like he did to the inmates. That would have been condemning the Briar Ridge patients to hell.
I've commented along these lines before, but a through-line from the book to the movie is that both Percy and Wild Bill are fundamentally broken; dyed-in-the-wool sociopaths. The difference is that Wild Bill grew up in poverty whereas Percy was the scion of a relatively wealthy, well-connected family. Wild Bill ends up facing execution for his depraved acts, but Percy is effectively untouchable despite committing acts that are equally depraved. John's last significant act is finding a way to have these poisonous men cancel one another out in the only way he can, given his circumstances. Had John not intervened, as you say, Percy would have continued to find ways to torture those over whom he had power - and it's unlikely anyone could have stopped him.
Weird, I've seen this movie several times and never thought of making the connection between John Coffey having the same initials as Jesus Christ. Even after watching several reactions, it's the first time I've seen someone mention this.
I'm assuming you haven't watched very many Green Mile reaction videos or, at least, haven't read many comments under said videos. The Green Mile is pretty on the nose with its parallels to the story of Jesus Christ and even if reactors don't mention it, half a dozen comments under every single video do.
Hi Kali, A word how that electric chair works regarding the sponge: Water is highly conductive, so if you soake it in water and place it (like in the movie) on a shaved space and press down on it, the electricity will go through the sponge and everything wett under it. So yes then your brain gets fried really fast. However if you do not soake the sponge, the electricity does not have anywhere to go but your full body, and i can tell you that hurts really bad. Ive got electrocuted once due to faulty wires in the house. I was literally thrown a few meters back. When i woke up i heard my phone go off. It was my mam and i told her to call an ambulance. But later that day i could go home. In our homes in The Netherlands it is 220 to 230 volts. Imagine 2500 volts hitting you, it was like that in those times. So in those times NO soaked sponge, would mean unimaginable pain. I guess in the movie you played that catching on fire is true. And more cruell things happen to the body wich i will not tell here.😔
I think that’s what happens in rdr2 when you do the electric chair mission. When it was first invented they didn’t know to use a sponge, at least, that’s what happens in rdr2
One of the things I've really loved about your reactions lately is that you're going into these movies totally blind. As in like not even reading the little summaries that streaming services put up, and not watching trailers or looking up actor lists. Since even the most basic synopsis of this movie spoils that there's something magical about John. And getting to see you experience all of that in the moment with no expectations about what's going to happen is very cool Percy joins Umbridge from HP, and Heimdall from GoW as some of my most deeply hated characters in media 🤣 And that's not a bad thing either. It just speaks to how well written and acted a character is to instill such strong emotions. It's all part of the experience It's really cool to see so many of the same actors in this era flock around with Tom Hanks in these movies! Lt. Dan, and the sniper from Saving Private Ryan, among others
I have to say with this one- going in completely blind was a magical experience, literally lol. I was NOT expecting any sort of miracles/magic/heavenly themes in this at all. all I knew was that there was an electric chair bc RDR2 fans told me lol. but it was so much more than that... I think from now on i'll keep doing it this way! and I 10000% agree that Percy is up there with Heimdall level hatred lol. what an incredible actor to get such strong and hateful feelings out of me! 😮💨😭 honestly, every actor in this film had me feeling things just with their silent reactions and thoughtful scripts. an intense movie for sure... but one that is worth seeing at least once in your lifetime ✨
"No matter how it happened, Del was the lucky one." Coffey felt what had happened and still called him lucky. That's how much he needs Paul to carry out his sentence.
bravo young lady , this is the second comment I have left for you. last time I mentioned I began watching movie reactions while I was in a medical rehab for 10 months , 2 years ago and although I follow several other reactors you have shot straight to my number one spot. watching you get so emotional actually made me cry. you are going to very well with this and thank you for your strong beliefs and have a very happy holidays and also thank you for replying to my last comment.
I saw the film around 16 years ago. It was about a little girl who found the guy John C where he lived in the woods. They became friends. But one day she was on her way to see him and he thought he would see her as she would often visit him and he thought she would that day. He had healing powers and I think that's what the girl liked about him, he healed sick animals. But then when she didn't visit him he was worried and he went to see if he could find her and to his horror he found her dead. He tried to heal her but for some reason he couldn't. He was so upset and he picked her up to take her to her parents he was in tears that he was unable to save her. But they thought he'd killed her. He couldnt reason with them or prove his innocence he had some kind of learning difficulty or communication barrier and that part of the world was very racist towards black folks at that time in the US in the 1930s. So he was wrongly executed. This is why I'm against the death penalty.
Hey Kali the emotion you expressed for the Green Mile was so deep. The soul-touching revelation of John Coffey was so intense. ------- It made me remember the soul-touching memory I have watching this movie for the first time. Now I didn't cry as much as you, my emotions were just as intense as yours.
Kali, I’ve watched hundreds of reactions. This was the first of yours and it was the most honest, heartfelt reaction I have seen. 😢 gonna have to subscribe and go back and watch some more. Hope you have a happy and blessed Christmas. From Texas.
Hey Kali - The Green Mile (imo of course) is one of the best films ever made. I stopped counting years ago how many times I've seen this, or watched others watch it. I want to tell you that your reaction and comments after your watch are some of the most genuine and meaningful/inciteful feelings and words I've ever heard related to this movie. Thank you for your depth, your grace, your faith, and your willingness to be so vulnerable on screen. You make a difference by sharing those parts of you that make you so relatable. Appreciate you. And Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! Peace, my friend! xo 🤗🎅🎄💖❄
Hi, first time visitor, really enjoyed your _Forrest Gump_ reaction, although I confess, I kind of jumped to the end, hehehe I still very much enjoyed and you had me tearing up with you. Can't wait to watch you go through this one as it's is one of the most emotional films that has ever been created, imho. You have a new sub. And yes Tom Hanks doesn't miss, you need to see him in his _Mr Rogers_ role for Christmas, and - if you ever want to see a very dark version of him - Road To Perdition would be a great reaction watch. Just a couple of suggestions, and I wish you and yours the happiest of holidays.
48:05 I realized a special reason why “he couldn’t take anymore after that”, when John asked to have his cover off his face, you could see Tom Hanks truly crushed and forever changed, that he had to watch John’s face, uncovered.. in that final moment
So happy to see how clearly you picked up on the parallels to The Passion. Realizing this made this movie that much more powerful for me. Definitely one of my Top 3 favorite movies. Great Reaction! 👍🏻
I just want to say thank you 😊 I actually learned a few things from your reaction. I've seen this movie countless times and feel something different each time. I'm glad you watched it. You were a trooper! 👏♥️
One of the most beautiful reactions I've ever seen. I've seen this movie a few times and several more reactions to it and I've honestly never made some of the connections you did. Really enjoyed it, Ma'am.
He was a peaceful man. He had the ability to heal people. He could bring the dead back to life. He was unjustly executed. His initials were ....JC Story told by a man named Paul.
LOVED your reaction to this wonderful movie! I always am drawn to what each of these men say just before their execution is carried out. Excluding John, each man said, "I'm sorry for what I do" while John said "I'm sorry for what I am"!!!! An AMAZING movie!
Fun fact somewhat relevant: louisiana has different laws than every other state. We have the Napoleanic law instead of the usual English common law. This means judges have more control over the application of sentencing than others, since they don't necessarily have to follow legal precedent. Our laws give a range of penalty that give the judge a means of selection based on fault, intention, intoxication, premeditation, etc.
Stephen King at his incredible best with an awesome screenplay by Frank Darabont (they both did the Shawshank redemption too). What a great reaction Kaliwali.
My wife and I watched this when it came out in theaters. It deeply affected us. We started making yearly donations to the Innocence Project charity ever since.
I enjoy watching your videos particularly because of how deeply you feel and aren’t afraid to show it. I hope that the ugly of this world doesn’t ever darken the light for you.
Finally managed to watch this. Thank you Kali, great reaction! I cry at the end of this everytime, and i've seen in at least more than 10 times. There are other parts i cry at, but i guess seeing the old woman in the coffin reminds me of my nan (she passed in 2016). Glad you enjoyed this movie, one of my all time favourites.
If you don't feel anything while watching this movie, you don't have a heart or soul. The best line of the movie: tell God, the Father you've done a kindness. Such heartfelt, horrific, yet uplifting movie that shows the best intentions in people despite what we may think we know or understand. I first read the novel by Stephen King before seeing the movie, and I can tell you that this movie was adapted almost flawlessly
Great reaction. I've watched loads of reactions to this great movie and you are only the second to pick up on the JC initials and the angelic light behind him watching the flicker show.
Happy Holidays, Kali, hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones! 🎄🎁 I can never get tired of watching this movie, even though it's so emotionally draining. Really enjoyed your thoughtful and heartfelt reaction as always!
When I find myself in a "hellish season" i try ask myself "What can I do to be of service to someone else today?" Focusing on someone else's problems seems to diminish mine. Thank you, Kali.
Hello Kali!😊 Yes, the rehearsals were part of the normal operation for death row to make sure things went smoothly for the actual execution. They used to allow anyone to witness the execution, but then most places changed it to the victims of the family and family of the accused. There was a big scandal back in the day of the electric chair. The guy that repaired the chairs in most prisons in the United States did not believe the Holocaust had happened. After it became known, he was let go. You are correct, the J.C. is not a coincidence. Stephen King also penned "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994) which was also directed by the same director here Frank Darabont (The Walking Dead). It is another very strong film, but this is my favorite of the two films. Great emotional reactions to this difficult watch, Kali!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
During my six years as a detention officer the worst behaved inmates weren't those waiting trial for murder. We didn't have a Percy working there but some officers were unnecessarily unkind.
What a great reaction to one of the best films ever made. I have watch close to 100 reaction to this film and yours is in my top five. Keep up the great work.
One of the best reaction videos to The Green Mile I have seen. Your thoughts on the film were very interesting. It's probably my favourite film, and it's always nice to watch someone experience it for the first time. Thank you for reacting to it.
i learnt a long long time ago that All bullies are cowards they have to pick on people to make themselves feel better.. the acting in this film and the story itself are really top notch.
Great reaction. An amazingly written story. There is something for everyone to learn from this movie around every corner. As hard as it is to watch, it deserves another look, maybe even two looks. Depending on were you are in life, the messages within this movie will impact you in a different way. Beautifully written.
I love this thought- That depending on where you are in life, you'll see this movie differently. It echoes my end thoughts so well! Thank you for sharing :)
@@kaliwali These things happen to us every day of our lives. We just need to pay attention and respond to the ques that appear throughout our life. We must not get blinded by ourselves and what we want out of life and just pay close attention to what is going on around us. I am not saying ignore what we want out of life, just don't let it consume us.
A story of good intentions not always yielding the most favorable outcome but still choosing to have faith and do good. A story of faith & the fragility of humanity. A story of good vs evil. A story of a man performing miracles of healing with the initials of JC, told by a man named Paul. The way Stephen King writes has been my obsession for many years. And the way Frank Darabont (Director) adapts it for cinema is nothing short of genius complementing genius. The trifecta of their cinematic ventures together; The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption & The Mist are all equally worthy of your reactions and point of view as your ability to connect with the story is so palpable. Both of the others mentioned are also equallly as renowned & loved. Keep it up boo cakes🫶
I remember reading the book (it was actually originally released in sections, not an entire book. The full book was released later.) and when I was done, I said I felt like I had just watched the most amazing movie. Years later, it was made into a movie.
Hey Kali, you were so spot on with your assessment of Percy. He's a coward praying on the weak and less fortunate. He starts with John Coffey when he comes in. Then Mr. Jingles, and Mr. Delacroix and not wet the sponge. ---------- Just like a bully, he thought it would be fun to see others suffer. Many serial killers start off abusing animals. However Percy is no serial killer, those folks force the disadvantage to invoke their predilections, Percy needs folks to be weak to take advantage of them.
One of the most beautiful performances of all time by Michael Clarke Duncan R.I.P Rumor has it that he gave money to anyone that recognized him on the street and knew his full name
The janitor played by Harry Dean Stanton is a prisoner. He is a trusty, given more liberty and responsibility than most inmates. Mr. Stanton is also in "Alien" and "The Avengers."
These were the times when every movie that Tom Hanks did was a hit. Other amazing Tom Hanks movies are Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Catch Me if You Can and Castaway.
D.O.E means Date Of Execution. And this is one of the greatest movies ever made. And the combination of the director and the Book Auther is great. Frank Darabont and Stephen King. They team up together for The Shawshank Redemption also. Great Post.
I like to think that in another universe, John Coffey and Forrest Gump became best friends, and they spent the rest of their days shrimp fishing together with Lt. Dan. 🥰
I'm not normally a fan of TV and movie reacts (I'm much more interested in the game playthroughs), but this is one I wanted to watch when I heard you were doing it. I'm glad you managed to get it past the copyright gods, and hope they decided to give you a share of the money.
i'm glad that you were looking forward to this one! i'm also excited to get started in more games next year ✨ and I hope the copyright gods keep this one up. right now they aren't willing to share revenue, but I put in a dispute so we will see how that goes! I don't think i've had this difficult of a time with copyright ever yet. this was a rough one..
I always loved the scene so dearly, where Tom Hanks asks John if he wants to be released, offering him his freedom. As many suggest that there is a parallel between John and Jesus, this is another, since Jesus was also offered his freedom by Pontius Pilate, and also declined.
They went the sponge so the electricity goes instantly to the brain. They might wiggle and make noises, but they're dead as soon as it strikes their brain. If you don't use the sponge, the electricity just spreads anywhere throughout the body and yes that would be very painful
Wow that was so cool, when Paul was floating the idea of bringing John to help Melinda, you mentioned that there were lots of talk about Jesus and God etcetera and you are the first reactor I've seen to suddenly consider whether it was coincidence that John Coffey had the same initials as Jesus Christ. Stephen King being Stephen King, I wouldn't put it past him 😆 Great reaction I'm going to be watching this channel often and have notifications on.
I love every single one of Frank Darabont’s Stephen King adaptations. They are extremely impactful in their own way. The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist are definitely worth your time.
Because you recently did Band of Brothers...i feel like when Doc Roe, who was from Louisana, where this is set, refers to his grandmother as a traiteurs or healer...it was a nod to this movie and John Coffey. Remember he says she laid her hands on people and took the pain away...he even mentions her healing cancer just like Coffey did with the Warden's wife.
Bonjour Kali ! Great movie, emotional too ! Made me questioning on my own belief. ( Sorry go for my not so good English ). But seeing your cry made me cry. I love watching your réactions. Please take care Kali. ❤
Just found your channel and I'm so glad I have...you are such a delight your emotions are true and real I can tell you have a beautiful soul and even more beautiful spirit I should be so lucky if I could find a woman with just half of your beauty and compassion
I'm glad you got a chance to see this film. It's my favorite movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel. There are two tv series that he wrote as well that are remarkable. "The Stand" and "Storm of The Century". If you want to see Hanks in a comedy, you'll have to see his older material. There are films like "Money Pit", "The Man With One Red Shoe", and "Splash!"
That's like easily a top 5 reaction of all time. Editing, flow, hitting all the 'hot scenes' just enough, just being genuinely spot on with deducing that this was a theatrical interpretation of the person of Jesus Christ. No one has ever caught ALL the hints, and definitely not in real time. That was special Kali!
They purposely omitted the crimes of Chief and Del so you have some empathy for them. In the book, it tells you what they did. I read it about 20 years ago, but i think chief got into a bar fight over boots he lost in a card game or something, and stabbed and killed a man, and del set a building on fire to cover a crime and ended up killing a few people. I think that’s what happened anyway
Incredible film - the performances throughout are just amazing. Of course Michael Clarke Duncan, but I also love Michael Jeter. Really wished Dabbs Greer got an Oscar nom - would have been a wonderful moment for a Hollywood lifer - he was the minister in Little House and he married Mr. and Mrs. Brady!
46:06 JC consoles his guards. 48:54 You mention the initials JC. Mark 15:27 "At that time two rebels were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left." The criminal, Dismas, accepted Jesus as his savior and askes: Luke 23:42: "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jusus replied: (Luke 23:43). "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." In my opinion Del = Dismas. Movie Selection ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Your reaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I am ready to sit down to another heartwarming, inspirational"... Oh no....
Like the line goes "Oh, my sweet summer child..."
“I feel like he went in the dark to find her, even though he was scared of the dark.” WOW, that’s deep. I’ve never thought of it that way.
I didn't either. Thanks for the heads up
Me neither. And newer read or hear something like that. She is so smart.
Your empathy SHINE'S through the screen. It's beautiful ❤️ You and your heart are beautiful ❤️ !!
New subscriber now, and I 100% agree. I came here to say this. I absolutely love a good empath. Such a good soul.
Make sure to check out her gaming stuff also :)
@@mikekay3313 Lots of crying for an empath. I know. I used to cry watching the old hallmark commercials. Sometimes it hurts too much. Most times it's a beautiful thing to have.
Yes, John Coffey (JC) is a Christ-like figure. Those initials aren’t by accident.
And the story is narrated by a character named Paul.
@@charlize1253 And the fact that Kali figured out that John had to go into the dark to find Hal's wife is simply astonishing. Hadn't heard anyone ever say that nor have I even conceived it, but I think she's spot on. It fits with Christ being forsaken by God on the cross.
@@MoMoMyPup10 it's actually one of my favorite scenes and gets me crying every time when the warden's wife says to John Coffey "I dreamed of you, you were wandering in the dark, we were both wandering in the dark and we found each other!"
Goosebumps AND tears😮😢❤

I grew up Roman Catholic, read the bible growing up many times in school etc. I lost my faith in highschool, in my 30's and whenever I watch this movie it always brings that faith i guess back and makes me question myself and everything. I really don't know what's on the other side but i do know we as humans really do need to be nicer to each other. Beautiful movie and wonderful reaction as always.
I learned Wushu.
There is nothing, man.
"Spirit" doesn't exist without body, it needs it. After you lose the body "you" degrade down to the basic instincts until you vanish all (start of that process was felt by some unfortunate students who break off form obdy for short period until master helped to get back).
Like is most valuable thing we have.
I don't know why you drifted from your faith and it's none of my business. What I can tell you is that my children and I have been in the presence of God and our Savior. Miracles do happen and I know God is real. I have, through my own experiences, found much darkness within the foundations of Catholicism that are still found today. I do not believe its faithful followers are corrupted, but I question its leaders on several levels. None the less, I hope and pray you find your way back to God in your own time and way. I'll just leave that thought with you and leave the rest to the Father. God bless.
@@skywillfindyou that’s your opinion, some of us have in fact encountered Jesus, please, repent bro
We all fall away at times, The"Hound of Heaven" never, ever stops loving & waiting for our return. His Mercy is always. God bless.
It seems like some believers need to convince others of their own beliefs as a way to justify their own. I think it's gross. Leave others alone.
I don’t really comment a lot on UA-camrs videos, but your reactions always are the ones that I find entertaining even if you do get emotional. As a blind person, I feel like movies such as the green Mile can remind us that we need to be thankful for the life that we have and the things we get presented with. I honestly find certain movies to be entertaining and educational, even if they contain mild violence or adult language. i’m grateful that 20 years ago I was able to come into this country from south of the border and even though I didn’t have anything to my name, here I am 20 years later a high school graduate and a fan of reaction videos like yours. So keep up the good work and don’t ever be afraid to express yourself.
This is a movie that I would probably put in my personal Top 5 movies of all time, but can only watch it once a year. Phenomenal acting
45:06 "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. Can you understand?"
I understand, John :(
😮💨🤍🤍🤍
In my mind, another, shorter, just-as-poignant John Coffey quote: "I'm sorry for what I am."
"Yes John I think I can." :(
I think the point of the little mouse is, something so small, so insignificant, can mean so much to these men, who are waiting to die.
yes!
@@kaliwali Try the Killing Fields from 1984 with Sam Waterston and Dr. Haing S. Ngor. You will love it!
@@kaliwaliI also believe that John Coffey is supposed to be either a christ-like figure or the actual second coming!
Several clues beside the fact that his initials are JC.
He has premonitions and can see things that will happen!
He's a gentle soul.
He is able to heal the sick, raise the Dead!
The only other person, if you go by biblical teachings and Catholic teachings, who calls God "God the Father" is Jesus Christ, being the son of God!! John Coffey says this when he's speaking to Paul when Paul asked him what does he say to God on Judgment Day when God asks him why he killed one of his true miracles!
When John Coffey was watching the "flicker show", there is one shot showing the light of the projector coming from behind John's head making it look like a Halo!!
Any depictions of Jesus Christ or Mary in paintings, pictures or drawings always show them with a Halo 😇 around their heads!!
A regular Angel would NOT have the authority to take life!
AS John Coffey said he punished BOTH those bad men, one of whom was killed!!
This kind of action can only be done by God or Jesus!!
The gift or infection of life is something else that is God-given and why Paul is able to live to The ripe old age that he becomes!!
I may have missed other clues but those are the ones that I've caught that convinced me that John Coffey is definitely a parallel character to Jesus Christ himself!!
Great reaction!!!
That mouse has lived more than 8x its natural lifespan which I believe is supposed to leave us wondering how long Paul may have to wait for death, perhaps a few centuries since the end also makes it appear possible Mr Jingles took his last breath as he falls asleep at the end of the movie. King is noted for horror, and in this case it's the horror of knowing you will outlive everyone you know and love is the fear. Paul is now an empty shell who wishes for death to come find him and end his suffrage and penance he feels for killing John.
What touches me the most about your reactions is the sincerity of emotions that you show. I've watched some reactors whom I believe I can tell they are faking it. But your reactions are sincere and honest. I knew this one was going to be tough on you. Great reaction Kali.
thank you! 🩷
I was definitely moved by your reaction to this movie. The Green Mile is one of my favorite movies. You’ve earned my subscription to your channel! Looking forward to more of your reactions😀
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction to this & hope you find more here to dive into ✨
Arlen Bitterbuck (the first man executed) is played by Graham Greene, who also plays Rains Fall in RD2
I love Graham Greene! He was in Dances with Wolves, he was in Wind River, Thunderheart, Maverick. (The poker movie, not the jet movie.)
He was great in Goliath too, season 3 I think it was.
oh wow, I didn't realize this!
I'm glad you mentioned him. Not to many Native American actors & actresses get enough recognition.
Or God in The Shack
You can tell what kind of heart someone has by what makes them emotional. You are ALL heart. Seen this movie many times and have seen many reactions to it and this is one of the few times someone's reaction has me literally tearing up. Loved this.
Sam Rockwell, who played prisoner Wharton hated the fact that he had to threaten the little girls as part of his character dialogue because he became good friends with them.
Toot Toot (janitor) was a prisoner but he’s what they regarded as a trustee. he’s a low security risk non-violent prisoner who can be trusted with janitorial tasks
And was played by one of Stephen King's favorite actors, Harry Dean Stanton. He had named the 2 guards Harry and Dean after the actor although in the book the names were the other way around, between the 2 characters
I found your channel by surfing through reaction videos for some of my favorite movies and this one is my number one go to for if I need a really good cry. I really appreciate the amount of empathy that you showed toward the characters and your ability to show it by letting your emotions even if they are raw show through. I’m going to go through your videos now and watch some more of your reactions as I think I found a new favorite channel to watch. Keep them coming and I’ll be watching for more videos like this one. Take care.
thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel 🩷
Watching someone as empathic and observant as you are reacting to this film is a joy. Excellent reaction.
David Morse (Brutal) is such an underrated actor to me. He's one of those actors that you recognise but not "blockbuster" level of famous.
Also, if you haven't seen it I'll make the obligatory recommendation to watch The Shawshank Redemption.
Agree. Also a Barry Pepper fan
He was incredible in The Crossing Guard.
He was great as Detective Tritter in House M.D.
agree! his expressions were great in this one
@@RandomVids-86I was just going to comment this.
Kali's pretty and sharp, getting most of the plot lines in advance & spotting JC, Jesus and John 😊
You're rhe first reactor I've watched to comment on John saying "I'm sorry for what I am" compared to the others who said "I'm sorry for what I've done"
such a deep line.. and Paul's face after got me 💔
@49:44...I hadn't made that correlation until you mentioned. Lots to think about now and probably a re-watch. You also pointed out a great point when John went into the dark to help the Warden's wife...even though it scared him. Hero's true sacrifice.
First time on the channel. What a lovely heartfelt reaction and excellent commentary! I never heard anyone suggest that John had to go into the dark to find and heal Melinda. Brilliant!! Subscribed.
Watching The Green Mile definitely takes a toll emotionally. It is an amazing story by an amazing storyteller and beautifully acted throughout, but a heartbreaking film. This film really sheds a light on true goodness, true evil, and the heart-wrenching dilemma faced by men who know in their hearts that someone is innocent, but have no way to prove it. Add to that the suffering that John Coffey had to endure every day because of all the ugliness in the world.
“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?” John was clearly too good for this world!
Another top quality film you should react to is "Arrival" (2016 - Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker). Amy Adams gives an Oscar-worthy performance. It is an AMAZING film (wonderful acting and story-telling 📽) and is in my Top Five of All Time list.
Hey Kali, the journey of John Coffey is a gift and a curse to him. --------- He was just tired of absorbing all the suffering and hate in the world and wanted to end his time on this earth. He passed on a bit of himself to Tom Hanks, so we can see what JC faces. ----------- Such an amazing movie. Such deep concepts, ideas, moral conundrums. Some of the best writing expressed in Literature. Stephen King is a master level storyteller.
35:57 You got it. John is very, very old. He used to be a slave 70 years+ before this time. That's where he got a lot of his scars that he doesn't remember getting.
If Percy was to work at Briar Ridge, he would have tormented the patients like he did to the inmates. That would have been condemning the Briar Ridge patients to hell.
I've commented along these lines before, but a through-line from the book to the movie is that both Percy and Wild Bill are fundamentally broken; dyed-in-the-wool sociopaths. The difference is that Wild Bill grew up in poverty whereas Percy was the scion of a relatively wealthy, well-connected family. Wild Bill ends up facing execution for his depraved acts, but Percy is effectively untouchable despite committing acts that are equally depraved. John's last significant act is finding a way to have these poisonous men cancel one another out in the only way he can, given his circumstances. Had John not intervened, as you say, Percy would have continued to find ways to torture those over whom he had power - and it's unlikely anyone could have stopped him.
“Heartwarming and inspirational” turns to Heart wrenching and soul destroying 😢
Weird, I've seen this movie several times and never thought of making the connection between John Coffey having the same initials as Jesus Christ. Even after watching several reactions, it's the first time I've seen someone mention this.
Likewise. I think I've seen one other point out the lighting, but never the initials.
And the story is told by a man named Paul. 😎
I'm assuming you haven't watched very many Green Mile reaction videos or, at least, haven't read many comments under said videos. The Green Mile is pretty on the nose with its parallels to the story of Jesus Christ and even if reactors don't mention it, half a dozen comments under every single video do.
Oh come on! It's not in the least bit subtle, in fact it's so heavy handed it's a little clumsy.
Seen so many reactions to this film before, but never thought of the JC connection or his lighting. Great reaction. Love the channel.
Fun fact, the warden is actually 2inches taller than John Coffey. This movie is too good. So glad you're reacting to it.
Another fact about Mr. Jingles, there are actually 15 mouses hired to do specific tricks for his scene
Hi Kali,
A word how that electric chair works regarding the sponge:
Water is highly conductive, so if you soake it in water and place it (like in the movie) on a shaved space and press down on it, the electricity will go through the sponge and everything wett under it. So yes then your brain gets fried really fast. However if you do not soake the sponge, the electricity does not have anywhere to go but your full body, and i can tell you that hurts really bad. Ive got electrocuted once due to faulty wires in the house. I was literally thrown a few meters back. When i woke up i heard my phone go off. It was my mam and i told her to call an ambulance. But later that day i could go home. In our homes in The Netherlands it is 220 to 230 volts.
Imagine 2500 volts hitting you, it was like that in those times. So in those times NO soaked sponge, would mean unimaginable pain. I guess in the movie you played that catching on fire is true. And more cruell things happen to the body wich i will not tell here.😔
I came in contact with a 10k volt power line. I’m a walking, talking, seeing miracle mate. 😉🤘🏻
@@SteelCurtain024 But how many amps?
I think that’s what happens in rdr2 when you do the electric chair mission. When it was first invented they didn’t know to use a sponge, at least, that’s what happens in rdr2
One of the things I've really loved about your reactions lately is that you're going into these movies totally blind. As in like not even reading the little summaries that streaming services put up, and not watching trailers or looking up actor lists. Since even the most basic synopsis of this movie spoils that there's something magical about John. And getting to see you experience all of that in the moment with no expectations about what's going to happen is very cool
Percy joins Umbridge from HP, and Heimdall from GoW as some of my most deeply hated characters in media 🤣 And that's not a bad thing either. It just speaks to how well written and acted a character is to instill such strong emotions. It's all part of the experience
It's really cool to see so many of the same actors in this era flock around with Tom Hanks in these movies! Lt. Dan, and the sniper from Saving Private Ryan, among others
I have to say with this one- going in completely blind was a magical experience, literally lol. I was NOT expecting any sort of miracles/magic/heavenly themes in this at all. all I knew was that there was an electric chair bc RDR2 fans told me lol. but it was so much more than that... I think from now on i'll keep doing it this way!
and I 10000% agree that Percy is up there with Heimdall level hatred lol. what an incredible actor to get such strong and hateful feelings out of me! 😮💨😭 honestly, every actor in this film had me feeling things just with their silent reactions and thoughtful scripts. an intense movie for sure... but one that is worth seeing at least once in your lifetime ✨
"No matter how it happened, Del was the lucky one."
Coffey felt what had happened and still called him lucky. That's how much he needs Paul to carry out his sentence.
bravo young lady , this is the second comment I have left for you. last time I mentioned I began watching movie reactions while I was in a medical rehab for 10 months , 2 years ago and although I follow several other reactors you have shot straight to my number one spot. watching you get so emotional actually made me cry. you are going to very well with this and thank you for your strong beliefs and have a very happy holidays and also thank you for replying to my last comment.
I remember you! glad to see you're still loving the channel and loved this film/reaction to it 🩷 happy holidays to you!
I saw the film around 16 years ago. It was about a little girl who found the guy John C where he lived in the woods. They became friends. But one day she was on her way to see him and he thought he would see her as she would often visit him and he thought she would that day. He had healing powers and I think that's what the girl liked about him, he healed sick animals. But then when she didn't visit him he was worried and he went to see if he could find her and to his horror he found her dead. He tried to heal her but for some reason he couldn't. He was so upset and he picked her up to take her to her parents he was in tears that he was unable to save her. But they thought he'd killed her. He couldnt reason with them or prove his innocence he had some kind of learning difficulty or communication barrier and that part of the world was very racist towards black folks at that time in the US in the 1930s. So he was wrongly executed. This is why I'm against the death penalty.
Hey Kali the emotion you expressed for the Green Mile was so deep. The soul-touching revelation of John Coffey was so intense. ------- It made me remember the soul-touching memory I have watching this movie for the first time. Now I didn't cry as much as you, my emotions were just as intense as yours.
Kali, I’ve watched hundreds of reactions. This was the first of yours and it was the most honest, heartfelt reaction I have seen. 😢 gonna have to subscribe and go back and watch some more. Hope you have a happy and blessed Christmas. From Texas.
I stand corrected. I saw your Pvt Ryan reaction. Equally outstanding.
I've watched alot of reactors but I just love the way you react to movies I love, this is definetely my top five movies, so well written and acted
49:16 “We each owe a death: there are no exceptions.” Beautiful film and beautiful reaction. ❤
Hey Kali - The Green Mile (imo of course) is one of the best films ever made. I stopped counting years ago how many times I've seen this, or watched others watch it. I want to tell you that your reaction and comments after your watch are some of the most genuine and meaningful/inciteful feelings and words I've ever heard related to this movie. Thank you for your depth, your grace, your faith, and your willingness to be so vulnerable on screen. You make a difference by sharing those parts of you that make you so relatable. Appreciate you. And Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! Peace, my friend! xo 🤗🎅🎄💖❄
Hi, first time visitor, really enjoyed your _Forrest Gump_ reaction, although I confess, I kind of jumped to the end, hehehe I still very much enjoyed and you had me tearing up with you. Can't wait to watch you go through this one as it's is one of the most emotional films that has ever been created, imho. You have a new sub.
And yes Tom Hanks doesn't miss, you need to see him in his _Mr Rogers_ role for Christmas, and - if you ever want to see a very dark version of him - Road To Perdition would be a great reaction watch.
Just a couple of suggestions, and I wish you and yours the happiest of holidays.
48:05 I realized a special reason why “he couldn’t take anymore after that”, when John asked to have his cover off his face, you could see Tom Hanks truly crushed and forever changed, that he had to watch John’s face, uncovered.. in that final moment
When john says im sorry for what i am instead of for what ive done gets me everytime ive seen this movie many times i still cry...
So happy to see how clearly you picked up on the parallels to The Passion. Realizing this made this movie that much more powerful for me. Definitely one of my Top 3 favorite movies. Great Reaction! 👍🏻
I just want to say thank you 😊 I actually learned a few things from your reaction. I've seen this movie countless times and feel something different each time. I'm glad you watched it. You were a trooper! 👏♥️
One of the most beautiful reactions I've ever seen. I've seen this movie a few times and several more reactions to it and I've honestly never made some of the connections you did. Really enjoyed it, Ma'am.
He was a peaceful man.
He had the ability to heal people.
He could bring the dead back to life.
He was unjustly executed.
His initials were ....JC
Story told by a man named Paul.
An there is a story about a Roman soldier who helped kill Jesus was cursed to live until Judgement Day too.
LOVED your reaction to this wonderful movie! I always am drawn to what each of these men say just before their execution is carried out. Excluding John, each man said, "I'm sorry for what I do" while John said "I'm sorry for what I am"!!!! An AMAZING movie!
Fun fact somewhat relevant: louisiana has different laws than every other state. We have the Napoleanic law instead of the usual English common law.
This means judges have more control over the application of sentencing than others, since they don't necessarily have to follow legal precedent. Our laws give a range of penalty that give the judge a means of selection based on fault, intention, intoxication, premeditation, etc.
Stephen King at his incredible best with an awesome screenplay by Frank Darabont (they both did the Shawshank redemption too). What a great reaction Kaliwali.
My wife and I watched this when it came out in theaters. It deeply affected us. We started making yearly donations to the Innocence Project charity ever since.
I love that so much.. 🤍
I enjoy watching your videos particularly because of how deeply you feel and aren’t afraid to show it. I hope that the ugly of this world doesn’t ever darken the light for you.
Finally managed to watch this. Thank you Kali, great reaction! I cry at the end of this everytime, and i've seen in at least more than 10 times. There are other parts i cry at, but i guess seeing the old woman in the coffin reminds me of my nan (she passed in 2016). Glad you enjoyed this movie, one of my all time favourites.
If you don't feel anything while watching this movie, you don't have a heart or soul. The best line of the movie: tell God, the Father you've done a kindness. Such heartfelt, horrific, yet uplifting movie that shows the best intentions in people despite what we may think we know or understand. I first read the novel by Stephen King before seeing the movie, and I can tell you that this movie was adapted almost flawlessly
Great reaction. I've watched loads of reactions to this great movie and you are only the second to pick up on the JC initials and the angelic light behind him watching the flicker show.
Happy Holidays, Kali, hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones! 🎄🎁 I can never get tired of watching this movie, even though it's so emotionally draining. Really enjoyed your thoughtful and heartfelt reaction as always!
Happy Holidays!! 🎄 I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
When I find myself in a "hellish season" i try ask myself "What can I do to be of service to someone else today?" Focusing on someone else's problems seems to diminish mine. Thank you, Kali.
Hello Kali!😊 Yes, the rehearsals were part of the normal operation for death row to make sure things went smoothly for the actual execution. They used to allow anyone to witness the execution, but then most places changed it to the victims of the family and family of the accused. There was a big scandal back in the day of the electric chair. The guy that repaired the chairs in most prisons in the United States did not believe the Holocaust had happened. After it became known, he was let go. You are correct, the J.C. is not a coincidence. Stephen King also penned "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994) which was also directed by the same director here Frank Darabont (The Walking Dead). It is another very strong film, but this is my favorite of the two films. Great emotional reactions to this difficult watch, Kali!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
During my six years as a detention officer the worst behaved inmates weren't those waiting trial for murder. We didn't have a Percy working there but some officers were unnecessarily unkind.
What a great reaction to one of the best films ever made. I have watch close to 100 reaction to this film and yours is in my top five. Keep up the great work.
I have always wondered what John saw when Percy touched him. Like he said, you can’t hide what’s in your heart.
One of the best reaction videos to The Green Mile I have seen. Your thoughts on the film were very interesting. It's probably my favourite film, and it's always nice to watch someone experience it for the first time. Thank you for reacting to it.
i learnt a long long time ago that All bullies are cowards they have to pick on people to make themselves feel better.. the acting in this film and the story itself are really top notch.
"Feel how we feel then we don't hate you" (this line always gets me emotional)
Totally forgot Gary Sinise was in this movie...one of my favorite actors along with Michael Clarke Duncan.
Your editing on this film might be one of the best I have seen. Again, you have earned a spot on my watch list. Good Job.
thank you so much!
Great reaction. An amazingly written story. There is something for everyone to learn from this movie around every corner. As hard as it is to watch, it deserves another look, maybe even two looks. Depending on were you are in life, the messages within this movie will impact you in a different way. Beautifully written.
I love this thought- That depending on where you are in life, you'll see this movie differently. It echoes my end thoughts so well! Thank you for sharing :)
@@kaliwali These things happen to us every day of our lives. We just need to pay attention and respond to the ques that appear throughout our life. We must not get blinded by ourselves and what we want out of life and just pay close attention to what is going on around us. I am not saying ignore what we want out of life, just don't let it consume us.
Fun fact: the first prisoner to be executed is played by Graham Greene, who played Rains Fall in RDR 2
John Coffey being afraid in the dark but still go and search that ill lady in the dark to save her from her illness is beyond bravery.
A story of good intentions not always yielding the most favorable outcome but still choosing to have faith and do good. A story of faith & the fragility of humanity. A story of good vs evil. A story of a man performing miracles of healing with the initials of JC, told by a man named Paul. The way Stephen King writes has been my obsession for many years. And the way Frank Darabont (Director) adapts it for cinema is nothing short of genius complementing genius. The trifecta of their cinematic ventures together; The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption & The Mist are all equally worthy of your reactions and point of view as your ability to connect with the story is so palpable. Both of the others mentioned are also equallly as renowned & loved. Keep it up boo cakes🫶
One of my all time top ten movies. it is so well written that's its like reading a good book. you just don't want it to end. Beautiful reaction.
I remember reading the book (it was actually originally released in sections, not an entire book. The full book was released later.) and when I was done, I said I felt like I had just watched the most amazing movie. Years later, it was made into a movie.
In my top 5 movies of all time. Also Shawshank Redemption in there too, same writer and director as the Green Mile.
Wow! Never made the JC observation! Your reactions are priceless and loved hearing your take on the themes from the movie. Keep up the great work!
Watching an empath watch an empath... you are truly amazing Kaliwali!
One of my all time favorite movies. Thank you for your insightful reaction. I loved the comments you made after the movie was over.
Hey Kali, you were so spot on with your assessment of Percy. He's a coward praying on the weak and less fortunate. He starts with John Coffey when he comes in. Then Mr. Jingles, and Mr. Delacroix and not wet the sponge. ---------- Just like a bully, he thought it would be fun to see others suffer. Many serial killers start off abusing animals. However Percy is no serial killer, those folks force the disadvantage to invoke their predilections, Percy needs folks to be weak to take advantage of them.
One of the most beautiful performances of all time by Michael Clarke Duncan R.I.P
Rumor has it that he gave money to anyone that recognized him on the street and knew his full name
The janitor played by Harry Dean Stanton is a prisoner. He is a trusty, given more liberty and responsibility than most inmates. Mr. Stanton is also in "Alien" and "The Avengers."
Thank you for sharing your insight and reaction with us - you are a beautiful soul with the gift of empathy and emotion.
The Janitor is a prisoner, they are called a Trustee, it is a prisoner who has earned the trust of the prison staff.
These were the times when every movie that Tom Hanks did was a hit. Other amazing Tom Hanks movies are Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Catch Me if You Can and Castaway.
D.O.E means Date Of Execution. And this is one of the greatest movies ever made. And the combination of the director and the Book Auther is great. Frank Darabont and Stephen King. They team up together for The Shawshank Redemption also. Great Post.
I like to think that in another universe, John Coffey and Forrest Gump became best friends, and they spent the rest of their days shrimp fishing together with Lt. Dan. 🥰
I love the scene transition morph effect being used. Never seen anyone else do that.
I'm not normally a fan of TV and movie reacts (I'm much more interested in the game playthroughs), but this is one I wanted to watch when I heard you were doing it. I'm glad you managed to get it past the copyright gods, and hope they decided to give you a share of the money.
i'm glad that you were looking forward to this one! i'm also excited to get started in more games next year ✨
and I hope the copyright gods keep this one up. right now they aren't willing to share revenue, but I put in a dispute so we will see how that goes! I don't think i've had this difficult of a time with copyright ever yet. this was a rough one..
I always loved the scene so dearly, where Tom Hanks asks John if he wants to be released, offering him his freedom.
As many suggest that there is a parallel between John and Jesus, this is another, since Jesus was also offered his freedom by Pontius Pilate, and also declined.
They went the sponge so the electricity goes instantly to the brain. They might wiggle and make noises, but they're dead as soon as it strikes their brain. If you don't use the sponge, the electricity just spreads anywhere throughout the body and yes that would be very painful
Your reaction felt very authentic and that means something to me. Subscribed 😉
Wow that was so cool, when Paul was floating the idea of bringing John to help Melinda, you mentioned that there were lots of talk about Jesus and God etcetera and you are the first reactor I've seen to suddenly consider whether it was coincidence that John Coffey had the same initials as Jesus Christ. Stephen King being Stephen King, I wouldn't put it past him 😆
Great reaction I'm going to be watching this channel often and have notifications on.
I love every single one of Frank Darabont’s Stephen King adaptations. They are extremely impactful in their own way. The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist are definitely worth your time.
Because you recently did Band of Brothers...i feel like when Doc Roe, who was from Louisana, where this is set, refers to his grandmother as a traiteurs or healer...it was a nod to this movie and John Coffey. Remember he says she laid her hands on people and took the pain away...he even mentions her healing cancer just like Coffey did with the Warden's wife.
Bonjour Kali ! Great movie, emotional too ! Made me questioning on my own belief. ( Sorry go for my not so good English ). But seeing your cry made me cry. I love watching your réactions. Please take care Kali. ❤
thank you! 🩷
Just found your channel and I'm so glad I have...you are such a delight your emotions are true and real I can tell you have a beautiful soul and even more beautiful spirit I should be so lucky if I could find a woman with just half of your beauty and compassion
I'm glad you got a chance to see this film. It's my favorite movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel. There are two tv series that he wrote as well that are remarkable. "The Stand" and "Storm of The Century". If you want to see Hanks in a comedy, you'll have to see his older material. There are films like "Money Pit", "The Man With One Red Shoe", and "Splash!"
That's like easily a top 5 reaction of all time. Editing, flow, hitting all the 'hot scenes' just enough, just being genuinely spot on with deducing that this was a theatrical interpretation of the person of Jesus Christ. No one has ever caught ALL the hints, and definitely not in real time. That was special Kali!
She's the 👸 bro.
Since the story takes place in Louisiana, it makes sense that Del would be speaking Cajun French.
I really like that you have game music playing during your intro and outro... nice reaction channel!
They purposely omitted the crimes of Chief and Del so you have some empathy for them. In the book, it tells you what they did. I read it about 20 years ago, but i think chief got into a bar fight over boots he lost in a card game or something, and stabbed and killed a man, and del set a building on fire to cover a crime and ended up killing a few people. I think that’s what happened anyway
Eduard Delacroix sexually assaulted a girl and killed her, then started a fire that killed 6 more folks...
Incredible film - the performances throughout are just amazing. Of course Michael Clarke Duncan, but I also love Michael Jeter.
Really wished Dabbs Greer got an Oscar nom - would have been a wonderful moment for a Hollywood lifer - he was the minister in Little House and he married Mr. and Mrs. Brady!
I agree! an oscar was definitely deserved here
46:06
JC consoles his guards.
48:54
You mention the initials JC.
Mark 15:27
"At that time two rebels were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left."
The criminal, Dismas, accepted Jesus as his savior and askes:
Luke 23:42: "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
Jusus replied:
(Luke 23:43).
"Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
In my opinion Del = Dismas.
