@@dustinford18 In that case, I sure hope you saw the one done by "Just Trust Ash"... that one was intense! Also, "CloseUp" doesn't post often, but he gave a beautiful reaction as well in my opinion.
Imo this is one of the greatest films of all time. The execution scene brings me to tears. Every. Single. Time. Also, I completely agree with you about this being better than Shawshank (but we're definitely in the minority with that opinion lol). Michael Clarke Duncan was absolutely phenomenal in this. He was robbed of the Oscar that year (I love Michael Caine, but his performance in Cider House Rules doesn't touch Michael Clarke Duncan's in The Green Mile).
I also am in that minority of feeling that this is better than Shawshank. Regardless, however, both films are definitely in the absolute top tier of all films, and will always be so.
The Green Mile is a serial novel written by Stephen King. It is a set of books which followed this whole story. I came across a set at a garage sale and bought them because of this movie. So I knew once you had said Shawshank was your favorite, you would like this one too. Both movies are based off of Stephen King’s stories. And I agree, Michael Clarke Duncan deserved that Oscar. RIP🙏🏼
Michael Clarke Duncan was nominated for Supporting Actor. It was a stacked year, with Tom Cruise for Magnolia, Jude Law for The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Haley Joel Osment for The Sixth Sense. Michael Caine won for The Cider House Rules, but I really wanted either Michael Clarke Duncan or Haley Joel Osment to win.
Percy hurts my heart more than wild bill does… Because Percy uses his position of power for cruel and hateful actions. And yes he gets his comeuppance but still it’s awful what he does before that. He made Del suffer more than once. Loved the reaction.
True. Wild Bill is an interesting villain because he's mostly powerless. He's a vile degenerate, but he's too stupid to get away with his horrific crimes. All he can do during the course of the film is annoy and inconvenience his jailers.
"I don't want to cry today." ~ MovieFusion There's a common phrase related to this movie - "Never trust anyone that doesn't cry during The Green Mile."
This was one of your very best reactions with a wonderful point of view about one of the best Stephen King movie adaptations. You are one of my favorites on UA-cam. You always have amazing reactions to movies and tv shows because you are not only insightful and knowledgeable about entertainment, you are unafraid to show your emotions, whether it's joy, shock, or sadness. You have a beautiful spirit that always shines bright. Good luck with your future on UA-cam and beyond, and as always I'm looking forward to whatever you post next.
If John's execution was pedestrian, we would all just say, "well that sucked". But the emotional reaction of the guards just rips the tears out. A truly powerful film!
I've seen hundreds of movies. And I cry at the drop of a hat, so I've cried at at least half of them. But there are only a handful that truly broke my heart. First one I can remember is Neverending Story. I am not going to say more to not spoil anything for anyone, but I will just say I was 10 years old when it came out, and it still kills me today. Another one is this movie. When he says he his tired, and when this huge, 7 feet, 350 pounds+ man, begs not to put that thing over his face, not to be put in the dark. Michael Clark Duncan was amazing in his role, may he rest in peace
Not to sound like a jerk , but your tears made me smile. I have cried to this movie, and I have cried to reactions to this movie. Seeing you, and reading the other comments where people have shed their emotions watching this, gives me hope that there is still goodness in the world. Thank you for your open and honest reaction.
Agreed. It's always so annoying when people hold back their emotions to films like this, all in an effort to remain "tough". Fakeness isn't tough; expressing your true self is.
@@derrickowen8162 Some people just can't let themselves be vulnerable. Why those same people would choose to create a reaction channel is anyone's guess though.
Yes! This is one of the only reactions I've seen that keeps it. So powerful! There are a few scenes in this reaction that are usually cut that I appreciated, and it makes me excited to watch more reactions from this channel
You really are one of the best when it comes to reactions! It's an absolute joy to watch you react to movies because you pick up on so much, you remember key points and try to figure things out along the way. Plus you're also not afraid to show your emotions, whether they're positive or negative! I think everyone cries at the end of this movie and it was beautiful to see how you experienced it yourself and how you just kinda broke at one point. You can tell you're always genuine in your reactions and that's one of the many reasons why I enjoy watching your videos! I look forward to the next ones! 💛
It is so hard to watch the parents at the execution. We know John is innocent but they think he is a raping, baby killer. John had a way about him that seemed to soothe people at times( in the movie, idk about the book). I read a comment once that said they thought one of John's reasons for going through with the execution, besides the reasons he gave to Paul, was to give the family closure. The reasons that we heard him give were good enough for me to try to understand him wanting it to be over but I really liked that comment. It gave me a sense of peace that wasn't there before when watching the parents. John obviously tried very hard to save the girls when he found them so it's easy to believe that he could also want the parents to have a sense of closure that they would not get if they knew he was innocent. Wild Bill was already dead. Idk that it would do them any good to learn that they invited the killer to their dinner table. Also, did you recognize William Sadler (Heywood) from Shawshank?
Percy to me goes down as one of the greatest movie villains of all time Also, every time John says he's afraid of the dark during his execution scene....INSTANT tears
I am 4 minutes into your reaction and feel this overwhelming sense of guilt because, right now, you are enjoying the movie and jovial. I know what's coming, and I want to warn you, but it's too late. This movie stays with you. Only TWO other movies affected me like this one: "Dancer in the Dark" and "The Color Purple".
I love Shawshank, but this is one of my top three movies ever, seen it so many times and the impact is the same as the first time. Makes me cry every time.
I never thought I’d see you watch a movie that would make you emotional. Thank God it did. We got to see another side of you that we haven’t seen before. Thank you for the best reaction I’ve ever seen you do!
In Brazilian Portuguese this movie is called “A Espera de um Milagre” (something like “waiting for a miracle”) and I really think it fits. Since you discover the truth you spent the entire film hoping John somehow lives at the end. Great reaction, man!!
This cast is the best cast in a movie. No competition. It's also the best King adaptation, and IMO better than the book (and that is goooooooooooood!!!)
@@pietergreveling 79% on rotten tomatoes and it's not on the 100 greatest movies of all time.. Whereas Ghostbusters, Guardians of the Galaxy and Arrival are supposedly better movies on the list... I think I'd call that underrated. 🤔
These 2 adaptations of Stephen King novels of The Green Mile and Shawshank are both amazing movies and are definitely in my top 10 movies of all time. Its hard not to get emotional about this movie there are so many bad people and so many good I guess thats real life also. The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan is no longer with us is very sad he died in 2012 (Wow almost 10 years now) he died of heart complications due to a heart attack a few months before his passing the irony is his friends and family said he had a kind heart and was loved but it was his heart that gave out. Great reaction young man keep up the great work!
The bold and meek mouse that shows up bravely and John Coffey are related. The shower of light is John leaving from the spitting out the darkness of illness. A lot of symbolism. Great movie.
Dude, I loved Disturbia. You're right, nobody talks about it anymore. EDIT: I think John showed Percy what Billy did. If you watch close, Percy sheds a single tear before pulling his revolver and firing. He saw what real evil was, and it broke him.
That is a very interesting theory that I haven't heard before. I'm not sure if I can get behind it or not, I definitely need time to think on that one. On one hand, it would give a bit of redemption to one of the most hated characters in history. On the other hand, Percy is so hated because he is a selfish, entitled, sadistic and evil himself, jerk. The second hand makes you wonder if he is even capable of that kind of act in the name of redemption. I'm not sure. It is a cool theory though! Thanks for sharing!
@@chiheart1980 There are plenty of people like Percy who draw the line at kids. They'll do all number of horrible things to adults, but justify themselves by saying they wouldn't hurt a child. There's a reason child predators get attacked by other inmates in prison.
The whole cast is phenomenal but wild bill is played by Sam Rockwell. Easily one of the most overlooked actors out there. He had played some great roles over the years. One movie that doesn't get talked about nearly enough that he stars in is "Mr. Right". Check it out if you ever get a chance!
Speaking of Disturbia, it was loosely based on Rear Window. That is an amazing Hitchcock film that you gotta watch on your channel sometime. It’s one of my favorite films period
I've seen this so many times and I still cried. It breaks my heart and it hurts to watch it, but you just have to watch it. I think I like seeing how it makes reactors feel; so I can judge you. Kidding kidding. But I do like seeing how everyone reacts to my favorite movies. And seeing emotion on others faces, it makes it hurt that much more.
I know what you mean... comparing others' reactions to your own- THAT is EXACTLY what caused me to discover the whole "reactor phenomenon" after I saw "INTERSTELLAR" on my own. It's EXTREMELY rare (and prior to age ~30, virtually nonexistent) for any movie to make me cry. But a handful of years ago, "Inside Out" almost did it (I was watching with others, so intentionally but painfully suppressed any tears)... and a few YEARS after that... "Interstellar" ACTUALLY did (I was ALONE, so I did not hold back that time) ;) In fact, "Interstellar" got me TWICE during the movie, and at the second time, I thought "Ohmigosh, WHAT is this movie DOING to me- does it do this to OTHER people???" Then I started looking up "reactions to Interstellar" lol.
THANK YOU! 32:13 you’re the first person I’ve seen on UA-cam who left this quote in their reaction video; most only leave the line about people being ugly to each other. Btw, I recently found your channel when you posted Hunger Games reactions, so I have to point out that the mother of the two little girls is Katniss and Prim’s mom. Haha. (I assume you recognized the actor who plays their father, because he’s in so many great films, including various Darabont ones like Shawshank Redemption and The Mist.) I can’t say whether something is better than something else, only which one I personally love more, and while I love Shawshank- I love The Green Mile even more. It’s tied with several other movies as my very favorite. Speaking of my other favorite movies, multiple actors in this are in Saving Private Ryan. If you haven’t seen that, I’ll just give you a hint and point out that it’s extremely popular for UA-cam reactions. 😉
Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors of all time... And he just was so despicable in this movie! You definitely should react to some of his movies, like Moon, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Seven Psychopaths, even Charlie's Angels was a good role for him.
@@DavidWright1138 I thought Mr. Right was funny and he was charming in the role. Which in itself is funny. But, yeah, I generally don't recommend it to people. I mean, I won't dissuade them, but there are lots of much better options to see first. lol
This movie is amazing but the book is better as it usually always is and it gives more detail into what the inmates have done thats why, while del is kind of lovable here but in the book its like "eh do we feel bad for him?"
Shawshank and The Green Mile are also both Stephen King adaptations, as well as being directed by Frank Darabont. Edit; I’m crying right alongside you, bro 😂 Don’t be ashamed
John was the smartest man in E Block; he dealt justice when it was taking too long for sentences to be applied to the worst of the people around him. Paul does "give the order" to fulfill two promises: one to the state/penal process and one to abide by John's request to be done with it, to stop his pain.
The actor that played Billy the Kid was Sam Rockwell. He also played Guy Fleegman in the movie Galaxy Quest the same year. Rockwell is an amazing actor... Mice live about 2 years so Mr. Jingles lived about 32 lifetimes. Extrapolating for Paul he might live 2,500 years...
Omg I cried when I first saw it. And I cried when you cried again. A beautiful movie. But what makes me wonder if the mouse lived so long and Tom Hanks’ character as well did the women who got cured from her tumor did as well?
Stephen King is known as the King of Horror but some of the best movies based on his work are not horror, but human stories: Shawshank, Green Mile, Stand by Me. There is horror there of course, but it’s based on the horrors committed by humans, not monsters or otherworldly creatures. He remains one of my favorite storytellers to this day.
The ending got me the music an the scene together is when it hits hard. Even the part where Melinda part with him wondering around in the dark. Great movie!
A common field mouse (like Mr Jingles) will live at most 2 years in captivity (12-18 months otherwise). Mr Jingles was 64 years old at the end of the movie.
Sam Rockwell is such a good actor, and he really makes hateful characters come alive. He got an Oscar for playing yet again another hateful character in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. I recommend that, too. He also did an outstanding job in Jojo Rabbit, and in Galaxy Quest. "This is a supernatural movie." Well, it is Stephen King.
You make a very good point, in the South in the 1930's he would have been hung from the nearest tree but due to his size they would have probably had to shoot him. Maybe because there was law enforcement present, that is why the search party did not take justice into their own hands.
It’s good your crying, your suppose to feel the hurt, that’s what John Coffe felt all the time. A great movie about how ugly people can be in this world, and how beautiful some are💜. Your a human with feelings, that’s beautiful 💗. God Bless🙏🏾😊
Doug Hutchison deserved an Oscar for playing Percy, probably the most hated character in movie history. An innocent man with the initials J.C. who could heal people and raise the dead and was executed, sound familiar? Did you see the Halo around his head during the Flicker show?
Also, another amazing film that you would most certainly enjoy I'm sure, is the 1995 Kevin Bacon and Christian Slater powerhouse that is _Murder in the First._ I guarantee you will never forget this film and the acting there in. It's set in 1930s Alcatraz. I would love to see you and or anyone react to this awesome film.
That so great you watched this movie its the best movie ever made I think. It makes you feel every feeling in 3 hours!. It is indeed Oscar worthy, but never got any, just like 'the color purple' and if you watch that you see how it is on the Oscars.. It makes me sad.. But thank you for this one and please think of the color purple to watch to.
Bro. This is truly a very sad and emotional movie. However, there is happy news. Mr. Jingles won an Oscar award for Best Supporting Rodent in a Drama. 🐀🐀🐀
I cry every time I see it. It's such a hard mix of emotions. He is innocent, but wants to die because his daily life is so painful being around humanity.
I tumbled to the fact that Wild Bill had killed the girls real early, but I think I was the last viewer on Earth to figure out that the guards intended to take John to heal Melinda Moores. Check out the book; it's definitely worth reading, and you'll see what a fantastic job they did of bringing it to the screen.
Have you seen Schindler's List? I couldn't find it on your channel (yet); I know that. I can relate to you (being wary of long movies) BUT that's [another] one that actually kept MY attention for EVERY second of it! THIS is my favorite reaction of yours (utterly beautiful reaction!)... here's one reaction to your reaction: 35:00 - "Holy shit" - yes, exactly my thoughts whenever a movie "gets me" that way, too. Especially since it's so rare when it happens to me (apparently for you, too- I've skimmed your channel!). I found your "rank Pixar movies" video and was excited to see you place "Inside Out" so high AND mention you're into psychology; on that note, I have a story about my first watch of "Inside Out" you might find interesting: Long story short, one scene / line from "Inside Out" (at age ~30!) basically got me addicted to tearjerkers. While never having previously thought very much about shedding tears to either movies or life in general, and not doing it myself often at all... after Joy's line (while stuck in the pit) of "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" ... THAT got me so good that I almost instantly shed tears right in front of the roommates I'd been watching with! But I REALLY didn't want them to see me do that, so I held it in (that was PAINFUL though!) Then, a short while AFTER the movie, I realized I was CRAVING MORE TEARJERKERS. Upon doing a bit of research, I concluded I'd probably [still] gotten a flood of those "feel-good brain chemicals" - endorphins and oxytocin (which can get released with crying)... accounting for the craving. Frustratingly though, although I proceeded to allow myself to pursue more tearjerkers, I discovered it was notoriously difficult to find one that actually made me cry. But some successes have included "Interstellar", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "My Girl", "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" and (the following one is animated) "The Land Before Time". Those LAST two resulted in the MOST intense cries of my LIFE. The former was one I quite recently watched, but they WERE a very long 7 months apart from each other, lol.
Nobody escapes the tears 😢 Even the hardest people I've seen go by the point you did. No shame, I cry every time I watch it. This is my favorite Stephen King adaptation. 👍
I can't even continue when they get to the execution of John .... and my heart breaks for poor Del. This is one of the movies I always love to see reactions to.
This is the 1st time I've thought about this watching a reaction or watching this movie. If he was able to give some extra life to Tom Hanks, it makes so much more sense now when he says that hes tired. It never says so and I've never read the book but does that mean that John coffee could easily be a couple 100 years old?
So back when this came out My family was watching altogether as Friday family movie night after getting movies from Blockbuster(yes, I’m an elder millennial) At the end when John is dying everyone including my father is just ugly crying and sobbing. All of the sudden we all hear this strange loud noise and everyone turns to see one of my younger sisters. She was making this crazy high pitched noise. I began to get angry because I thought she was laughing during this gut punching moment. Then we quickly realized she wasn’t laughing she was hysterically crying uncontrollably. Once we all clocked it for what it was we turned back to the film together and began crying even more😭😭😭 One of the saddest movies we have ever watched.
I enjoyed your reaction to the Green Mile. Your most liked films (Shawshank +Green Mile+ The Mist) were Stephen King novels that were adapted to the big screen by Frank Darabond. It is not unusual to see some of the same characters in movies starring Tom Hanks. It's what makes the magic. Be well.
I bought the 6 books as they came out, one every month. I kept them until I had them all, then read them. I just reread them last week. It is odd but it is one of the few cases where I prefer the movie.
It was anticipation overload. Book 5 ruined me. Someone stole my copies, but I wasn't mad, I hope they enjoyed them and were as changed by them as I was.

And it's called "Milagros Inesperados" in the most part of Latinamerica wich means Unexpected Miracles. Very fitting both translations.
This cast is the best cast in a movie. No competition. It's also the best King adaptation, and IMO better than the book (and that is goooooooooooood!!!)
I tear up everytime I watch this movie it's an absolute masterpiece
Frank Darabont directed three Stephen King movies (this being the second). They're all good, albeit rather different, watches.
My tears rolled with yours, bro.
I 've watched this movie 6 times, and everytime I've cried. It's one of the most underrated movies of all time.

@@MovieFusion I liked The Mist, the CGI didn't age that well, I'd say I'm a fan of it overall, but nowhere close to either of his first 2 movies
Sam Rockwell was WILD! Real good actor, I'd recommend "Moon" (2009).
I tear up no matter how many times I've seen this. A favorite but hard to watch
The bold and meek mouse that shows up bravely and John Coffey are related. The shower of light is John leaving from the spitting out the darkness of illness. A lot of symbolism. Great movie.

@@chiheart1980 There are plenty of people like Percy who draw the line at kids. They'll do all number of horrible things to adults, but justify themselves by saying they wouldn't hurt a child.
There's a reason child predators get attacked by other inmates in prison.
This movie makes everyone cry, welcome to the club.
The whole cast is phenomenal but wild bill is played by Sam Rockwell. Easily one of the most overlooked actors out there. He had played some great roles over the years. One movie that doesn't get talked about nearly enough that he stars in is "Mr. Right". Check it out if you ever get a chance!
Yes, I agree 100%. He's great as Captain K in Jojo Rabbit. He's amazing in Seven Psychopaths as well.
I love Mr Right so so much, I first noticed Sam Rockwell in reboot Charlie Angels as Knox and went back to watch his complete Filmograpy from the 80’s
This film always makes me think about how old John might have been. Enjoy
All the cast is amazing in this, but I also love David Morse! So underrated :(
Speaking of Disturbia, it was loosely based on Rear Window. That is an amazing Hitchcock film that you gotta watch on your channel sometime. It’s one of my favorite films period
We love and miss you Michael Clarke Duncan.
I've seen this so many times and I still cried. It breaks my heart and it hurts to watch it, but you just have to watch it. I think I like seeing how it makes reactors feel; so I can judge you. Kidding kidding. But I do like seeing how everyone reacts to my favorite movies. And seeing emotion on others faces, it makes it hurt that much more.
I know what you mean... comparing others' reactions to your own- THAT is EXACTLY what caused me to discover the whole "reactor phenomenon" after I saw "INTERSTELLAR" on my own.
It's EXTREMELY rare (and prior to age ~30, virtually nonexistent) for any movie to make me cry. But a handful of years ago, "Inside Out" almost did it (I was watching with others, so intentionally but painfully suppressed any tears)... and a few YEARS after that... "Interstellar" ACTUALLY did (I was ALONE, so I did not hold back that time) ;)
In fact, "Interstellar" got me TWICE during the movie, and at the second time, I thought "Ohmigosh, WHAT is this movie DOING to me- does it do this to OTHER people???"
Then I started looking up "reactions to Interstellar" lol.
THANK YOU! 32:13 you’re the first person I’ve seen on UA-cam who left this quote in their reaction video; most only leave the line about people being ugly to each other. Btw, I recently found your channel when you posted Hunger Games reactions, so I have to point out that the mother of the two little girls is Katniss and Prim’s mom. Haha. (I assume you recognized the actor who plays their father, because he’s in so many great films, including various Darabont ones like Shawshank Redemption and The Mist.)
I can’t say whether something is better than something else, only which one I personally love more, and while I love Shawshank- I love The Green Mile even more. It’s tied with several other movies as my very favorite. Speaking of my other favorite movies, multiple actors in this are in Saving Private Ryan. If you haven’t seen that, I’ll just give you a hint and point out that it’s extremely popular for UA-cam reactions. 😉
Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors of all time... And he just was so despicable in this movie! You definitely should react to some of his movies, like Moon, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Seven Psychopaths, even Charlie's Angels was a good role for him.
It was a really horrible action rom-com that should probably be avoided at all costs; but I even liked him in Mr. Right (plus Anna Kendrick was cute).
@@DavidWright1138 I thought Mr. Right was funny and he was charming in the role. Which in itself is funny. But, yeah, I generally don't recommend it to people. I mean, I won't dissuade them, but there are lots of much better options to see first. lol
This movie is amazing but the book is better as it usually always is and it gives more detail into what the inmates have done thats why, while del is kind of lovable here but in the book its like "eh do we feel bad for him?"
I felt bad for him. Sure, he's done some terrible TERRIBLE things but I couldn't just not feel sympathetic.
Shawshank and The Green Mile are also both Stephen King adaptations, as well as being directed by Frank Darabont.
Edit; I’m crying right alongside you, bro 😂 Don’t be ashamed
"I wanna punch that man in the throat" - Truer words have never been spoken.
John was the smartest man in E Block; he dealt justice when it was taking too long for sentences to be applied to the worst of the people around him. Paul does "give the order" to fulfill two promises: one to the state/penal process and one to abide by John's request to be done with it, to stop his pain.
The actor that played Billy the Kid was Sam Rockwell. He also played Guy Fleegman in the movie Galaxy Quest the same year. Rockwell is an amazing actor... Mice live about 2 years so Mr. Jingles lived about 32 lifetimes. Extrapolating for Paul he might live 2,500 years...
Great reaction. You're a new man now.
True
One of the best movies of all time, I really enjoyed Paul's bond with John Coffey
Percy is easily one of the most hated villains of all time. And I think Wild Bill comes 2nd he was just a monster.
Omg I cried when I first saw it. And I cried when you cried again. A beautiful movie. But what makes me wonder if the mouse lived so long and Tom Hanks’ character as well did the women who got cured from her tumor did as well?
Stephen King is known as the King of Horror but some of the best movies based on his work are not horror, but human stories: Shawshank, Green Mile, Stand by Me. There is horror there of course, but it’s based on the horrors committed by humans, not monsters or otherworldly creatures.
He remains one of my favorite storytellers to this day.
The ending got me the music an the scene together is when it hits hard. Even the part where Melinda part with him wondering around in the dark. Great movie!
So glad you reacted to my favorite movie of all time! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
A common field mouse (like Mr Jingles) will live at most 2 years in captivity (12-18 months otherwise). Mr Jingles was 64 years old at the end of the movie.
This is my all time favourite film. Never fails to make me cry
Sam Rockwell is such a good actor, and he really makes hateful characters come alive.
He got an Oscar for playing yet again another hateful character in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. I recommend that, too.
He also did an outstanding job in Jojo Rabbit, and in Galaxy Quest.
"This is a supernatural movie." Well, it is Stephen King.
Dude what are the odds ? I just finished rewatching this movie !
Darabont wrote this screen adaptation of Steven King’s 1996 novel of the same name.
Sam Rockwell.he’s great Actor!
This movie is absolutely amazing! Great reaction!!
Thank you!
You are sooo Right!Every reaction on UA-cam on viewers watching this Movie is the same.Teary-eyed.One of the most heartfelt Movies of all-times.
Frank directed, Shawshank, Green Mile & Mist which are all Stephen King books. When he directs a King movie it's been pure gold!
And apparently King prefers Darabont's endings as well.
You make a very good point, in the South in the 1930's he would have been hung from the nearest tree but due to his size they would have probably had to shoot him. Maybe because there was law enforcement present, that is why the search party did not take justice into their own hands.
It’s good your crying, your suppose to feel the hurt, that’s what John Coffe felt all the time. A great movie about how ugly people can be in this world, and how beautiful some are💜. Your a human with feelings, that’s beautiful 💗. God Bless🙏🏾😊
"I don't wanna cry today" Well, I would suggest shutting the movie down then. lol
Michael Clarke Duncan won a People's Choice ans was nominated for an Oscar
You should react to The Mist. Another Stephen King adaptaion directed by Frank Darabont
Doug Hutchison deserved an Oscar for playing Percy, probably the most hated character in movie history. An innocent man with the initials J.C. who could heal people and raise the dead and was executed, sound familiar? Did you see the Halo around his head during the Flicker show?
I love this movie, it’s my favorite and I always need to cry 😭 best story and the acting is so amazing
Also, another amazing film that you would most certainly enjoy I'm sure, is the 1995 Kevin Bacon and Christian Slater powerhouse that is _Murder in the First._ I guarantee you will never forget this film and the acting there in. It's set in 1930s Alcatraz. I would love to see you and or anyone react to this awesome film.
Ggggrrrreeeeaaaaaytttt movie. Highly affecting.
The best film of all time. Nothing is as powerful as this
This movie is based on a Stephen King book, as was Shawshank Redemption and The Mist. 👍
That so great you watched this movie its the best movie ever made I think. It makes you feel every feeling in 3 hours!. It is indeed Oscar worthy, but never got any, just like 'the color purple' and if you watch that you see how it is on the Oscars.. It makes me sad.. But thank you for this one and please think of the color purple to watch to.
Bro. This is truly a very sad and emotional movie. However, there is happy news. Mr. Jingles won an Oscar award for Best Supporting Rodent in a Drama. 🐀🐀🐀
Great reaction for a cinematic masterpiece. The final act always evokes tears 😢 Keep up the great content!
I cry every time I see it. It's such a hard mix of emotions. He is innocent, but wants to die because his daily life is so painful being around humanity.
One of my favorite movies ever, a must-watch personally. Superbly well done, and amazing reaction
Everything you said is soooo Right On!
I tumbled to the fact that Wild Bill had killed the girls real early, but I think I was the last viewer on Earth to figure out that the guards intended to take John to heal Melinda Moores.
Check out the book; it's definitely worth reading, and you'll see what a fantastic job they did of bringing it to the screen.
This is one of my top 3 movies. Stephen King is my favorite author. And this adaptation is without a doubt a masterpiece.
Have you seen Schindler's List? I couldn't find it on your channel (yet); I know that.
I can relate to you (being wary of long movies) BUT that's [another] one that actually kept MY attention for EVERY second of it!
THIS is my favorite reaction of yours (utterly beautiful reaction!)... here's one reaction to your reaction:
35:00 - "Holy shit" - yes, exactly my thoughts whenever a movie "gets me" that way, too. Especially since it's so rare when it happens to me (apparently for you, too- I've skimmed your channel!).
I found your "rank Pixar movies" video and was excited to see you place "Inside Out" so high AND mention you're into psychology; on that note, I have a story about my first watch of "Inside Out" you might find interesting:
Long story short, one scene / line from "Inside Out" (at age ~30!) basically got me addicted to tearjerkers.
While never having previously thought very much about shedding tears to either movies or life in general, and not doing it myself often at all... after Joy's line (while stuck in the pit) of "Do you remember when she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?" ... THAT got me so good that I almost instantly shed tears right in front of the roommates I'd been watching with! But I REALLY didn't want them to see me do that, so I held it in (that was PAINFUL though!)
Then, a short while AFTER the movie, I realized I was CRAVING MORE TEARJERKERS. Upon doing a bit of research, I concluded I'd probably [still] gotten a flood of those "feel-good brain chemicals" - endorphins and oxytocin (which can get released with crying)... accounting for the craving.
Frustratingly though, although I proceeded to allow myself to pursue more tearjerkers, I discovered it was notoriously difficult to find one that actually made me cry. But some successes have included "Interstellar", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "My Girl", "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" and (the following one is animated) "The Land Before Time". Those LAST two resulted in the MOST intense cries of my LIFE. The former was one I quite recently watched, but they WERE a very long 7 months apart from each other, lol.
A common mouse's lifespan is 5 to 7 years, which means Mr. Jingles is around 55 years old.
John Coffey has 'the shining'
Nobody escapes the tears 😢 Even the hardest people I've seen go by the point you did. No shame, I cry every time I watch it. This is my favorite Stephen King adaptation. 👍
I can't even continue when they get to the execution of John .... and my heart breaks for poor Del. This is one of the movies I always love to see reactions to.
This is the 1st time I've thought about this watching a reaction or watching this movie. If he was able to give some extra life to Tom Hanks, it makes so much more sense now when he says that hes tired. It never says so and I've never read the book but does that mean that John coffee could easily be a couple 100 years old?
Most likely yeah
One of the saddest (if not THE saddest) movies ever made 😥
So back when this came out My family was watching altogether as Friday family movie night after getting movies from Blockbuster(yes, I’m an elder millennial) At the end when John is dying everyone including my father is just ugly crying and sobbing. All of the sudden we all hear this strange loud noise and everyone turns to see one of my younger sisters. She was making this crazy high pitched noise. I began to get angry because I thought she was laughing during this gut punching moment. Then we quickly realized she wasn’t laughing she was hysterically crying uncontrollably. Once we all clocked it for what it was we turned back to the film together and began crying even more😭😭😭
One of the saddest movies we have ever watched.
I cried too, even after multiple times watching this
Dudes was in The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, & the Mist
I enjoyed your reaction to the Green Mile. Your most liked films (Shawshank +Green Mile+ The Mist) were Stephen King novels that were adapted to the big screen by Frank Darabond. It is not unusual to see some of the same characters in movies starring Tom Hanks. It's what makes the magic. Be well.
John Coffey-Jesus Christ. Ty for your honest reaction.
Frank Darabont also did Delores Claiborne. Also an excellent movie.
I bought the 6 books as they came out, one every month. I kept them until I had them all, then read them. I just reread them last week. It is odd but it is one of the few cases where I prefer the movie.
It was anticipation overload. Book 5 ruined me. Someone stole my copies, but I wasn't mad, I hope they enjoyed them and were as changed by them as I was.
