You’re not wrong. I even had to look up who did win best supporting role. Michael Caine got it for The Cider House Rules. A good movie, but still feel the wrong actor won although Caine was good. Kevin Spacey won best actor for American Beauty which I can agree with. He is an amazing actor tbf.
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.
I'm sure that connection has valid points - but to me it belittles the underlying tale. You don't have to believe in that nonsense to find something here. Although not at all saying that wasn't King's intention.

Despite being an Agnostic those are way too many hints to be coincidental. Loving these kind of easter eggs (mostly not finding them myself), great job, Stephen!
In the books, John was hundreds of years old and had been all over the world. He had been a slave. He had seen everything. Also, when he shook Paul's hand, he knew him and wanted to heal him. He was probably trying to heal him with the handshake, but it wasn't enough. If you want to see two underrated sad love stories that will make you feel good at the end, try The Adjustment Bureau and Passengers.
Its crazy that man can be so cruel and that black people were treated so badly for centuries starting with the Arab slave trade, but they enslaved people of all colours from all parts of the world. Its partly why there are fairer skinned people in North Africa now. Sorry, went off on a tangent.
One detail that is often overlooked is that Paul shaking John Coffey's hand before the execution is the only act of protest available to Paul, given that there is no way he could prove that John was innocent and John himself did not want to run away -- and refusing to carry out the execution would just have meant that someone else would have done it instead, and Paul would have been out of a job.
Plus, Paul is like Pontius Pilate washing his hands and walk away from JC's execution by shaking John's hand let audience there know that John is innocent of killing of those girls. If Paul refused to give orders on the execution, then like you stated here, prison would find another give the orders knowing other guards probably the orders too. John didn't want Paul to lose his job.
They should have started with _The Shawshank Redemption;_ same book author and movie director, but with a more light-hearted tone, while still bringing the emotion.
I don't know why one would need to start with Shawshank vs Green mile. They don't have anything to do with each other other than having the same director, writer and taking place in a prison; so they can be enjoyed independently of each other. 😊
Just imagine how long John Coffey had been "alive" and how tired his spirit was and how hard it must have been to keep going and be positive and live in this world.
"We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long." Fun Fact: Originally set in 1932, the timeframe was bumped to 1935 so that the movie Top Hat (1935) could be featured. Jock Strap Incident Fact: Michael Clarke Duncan was uncomfortable with having to grab Tom Hanks' crotch for the scene where John cures Paul's urinary infection. Hanks left the set and came back to do the scene; Duncan grabbed Hanks' crotch and was shocked to discover that he had put an empty water bottle in his trousers. After that, Duncan felt more comfortable with the scene. Measuring Up Fact: In reality, Michael Clarke Duncan was of a similar height to his co-star David Morse, and was a couple of inches shorter than James Cromwell. Amongst other things, creative camera angles were used to create the illusion that Duncan, as John Coffey, towered over the prison staff, even "Brutal" Howell and Warden Moores. For one scene where Paul, Coffey and Brutal were in the same shot, Michael Clark Duncan was standing on a plank, David Morse stood on the ground, and Tom Hanks was standing in a trench dug into the ground just for that purpose.
The type of mouse Mr Jingles was lives 2.5-3 years in the wild and up to 4 in captivity if well taken care of. He lived to roughly 64(we don't know his age when found). If John's gift simply adds years, Paul will have to wait until he's roughly 140. Now... if it multiples the lifespan... Mr Jingles lived 16 times as long as a mouse of his species should. A human male lives roughly 80 years(rounding for ease of multiplication), making Paul 1280 before he finishes his mile.
Mr Duncan was a very large man, but they shot him as much taller than his actual 6'5" height. King never gives an actual height for the character in the book, but it's pretty clear John Coffee is a giant, probably over 7 feet tall.
The Green Mile, The Elephant Man and Shawshank Redemption are 3 x films that wiill really make you think how we humans have remained the leading species on this earth.
The Elephant Man being the only one based on a true story makes it hit that much harder.... I know a lot of other films are designed for satisfying tear jerking experiences, but that film is utterly depressing and perhaps the saddest film ever (a huge compliment from me).
It is such a brilliant film, it unfolds beautifully it really does not seem like it is a 3 hour film. Another great reaction ladies. I cannot wait for the next one.
You’re right. I watched it again after some years only yesterday after watching another reaction video and it seemed to go by so quickly. I could happily have carried watching if it was even longer. Its just completely absorbing.
One of the best movies ever made, that I only watch once or twice a year. Plus, it is proof that Stephen King is NOT just a Horror writer. Great Popst, and thank you for sharing it with us.
What a awesome reactions from you, Ladies. Heart felt and raw emotions, only down side of this movie is that Michael Clarke Duncan didn't win a Oscar for his incredible acting. R.I.P. MICHAEL 😪🙏🏼✝️☮️💖💯%...
Great reaction to a stephen King classic. Very sad and inspiring movies with great performances all round. The shawshank redemption is another great movie Big thumbs up
I was 21 years old when this came out. I remember my Marine Corps buddies and I went to the theatre to go watch it. I can honestly say we had tears rolling down our eyes. Bunch of wannabe tough guys here and we were crying but then again so was everyone in the theatre that night. One of my favorite movies of all time and the only movie I have never watched again from start to finish.
Don't feel too bad. I've seen this movie half a dozen times, and seen a few dozen reactions to it, and I still cry every time. This movie is a perfect masterpiece of amazing writing, acting, and directing, with a great musical score to accompany it. I don't use the term "perfect" to describe very many movies, but this one earned it.
Actually I am glad you just said you recognized all the actors and not spending 90 mins trying to think of where from. I am amazed how many reactors spend time trying to figure out what other movies/series they've seen actors in. They are ACTORS! They do a lot of films/series! Great reaction! 👍
It's a pretty normal human experience for many people to wonder where they saw somebody from and it remains in the back of their mind as they watch the movie.
It along with Shawshank Redemption are 2 of the Greatest films I've seen. And I cried like a baby. It still does that no matter how many times I have watched it. Beautifully Sad ... and Questioning.
It gets me every time. I've seen several reactions to this and several have said that it is the best movie that they will never watch again. good reaction ladies.
That last line from Paul on the outro of the film is always so saddening for me because he admits to us the viewers that the very act of living has truly become a curse for him; which the irony of that revelation being he spent a great deal of his professional life assisting in the taking of quite a few lives on The Green Mile as he coined it. 😔
Those whom Coffey heals also benefit from (or, perhaps, are cursed with) an unnaturally extended lifespan. •His healing results in purifying a person completely, leaving only a physical manifestation of the disease - swarms of insect-like creatures or entities - which he exhales out of his body. •Mind Reading: John Coffey possesses mind reading through touching, where he can see a person's past if he lays his hands on him/her. •He was almost literally an angel sent down to help Earth, he may have been a giant, but, he was an incredibly kind and caring man, someone who wanted to heal rather than harm.
Ladies, I'm late getting to this reaction, but let me say that the feels you had while watching, come back every single time you watch. At least for me. Every. Time! And I've seen this, either through my full viewing or watching reaction videos, at least 20 times. Wet eyes each and every one.
There are only 2 movies I've ever seen where the performance of the actors was top tier--The Green Mile and To Kill A Mockingbird. The latter having the best courtroom scenes ever, and equal in emotion to the former.
First tears for you girls in the reactions. With the green mile it's hard to resist. also nice editing. you have improved the graphic aspect of the video a lot
I don't usually like to leave a comment on this movie reaction unless I can't help myself I'm new to this channel so I'm not sure on your names ladies but the lady in black you called it... the bad or the badness, (the flies thing) iv watched now over 30 reactions to this movie your the only person to do so besides myself even when I was a kid watching this for the first time iv always called it the bad or the badness so this was nice to see from you... made me smile during a very difficult movie to watch I cry every single time watching this and always at different points I love seeing reactors cry to this because it makes me feel... not so alone in it thank you.
When I was an intern in a wealth management firm I went to the most exclusive nursing home that I have ever seen. It was a nursing home/hospital. Our client lived in a Penthouse with her own small city-style park. As soon as you exit the elevator. She lived on the 19th floor.
I'm sure you've done the research on the actors in this one already, but: Tom Hanks, Barry Pepper, David Morse, Michael Clarke Duncan, Sam Rockwell, Bonnie Hunt, James Cromwell...the list goes on. It was great experiencing this movie with you both. 🙂
James Cromwell is a great character actor, he played the Prison Superintendant whose wife was cured by John. David Morse is also fantastic. He played Brutus.
THANK YOU for being understanding of the parents in the film. Other reactors on UA-cam would get angry and curse the parents, one reactor even said she wanted the parents to be executed, which shows that their emotions are all shallow and surface level. They seem to forget that the parents lost two children and they squarely believe John Coffey did the crime. Thank you for letting viewers know that the parents are also deserved of sympathy and compassion.
I was 11 years old when i first saw this movie back in 2000 . I was supposed to go to school the next day but this movie came on tv snd caught my attention. Till this day i regret it. I keep crying everytime johns execution comes on.
Thank you. For something lighter, but still with the feels, I already suggested "Fried Green Tomatoes" (1991) and "Pleasantville" (1998), but I would like to suggest: Dave (1993) for decency and love ruling the day, "Strictly Ballroom" (1992) because love and dancing make the world better; and finally "Society" (1992) because you seem drawn to the (much) darker stuff.
I agree, I strongly second Dave and Pleasantville. Both great movies! I have heard of Fried Green Tomatoes, but the Society and Ballroom also sound interesting. Great picks!
love your reaction from both of you girl!!! keep the good work!!👊 since it's October put the Exorcist (1973) and Evil Dead (Original 1981) to your list if they're not on it!!😏 you will hate me but..... i'm use to it!!🤣
This was one of my favorite books ever and I was a bucket of tears in during the book and the movie theater - I still cry watching it. The beautiful soul of John coffee
9:50 "Did he say he was a trustee?" Yes. An inmate who has demonstrated good behavior might be designated as "trustee". In return for possibly reducing their sentence, or at least a kind word from the warden during parole hearings, the trustee helps the guards by performing tasks at the prison but outside the areas of confinement. This guy can afford to goof around since he's never going to be executed; he might even be up for parole soon. Side note: this actor is Harry Dean Stanton, star of many, many movies but he'll always be beloved for his role in Alien.
Another great reaction! I see the editing is improving as well, so kudos for that too. I assume you've seen Forrest Gump, but if you haven't you should see that one since Gary Sinise and Tom Hanks are together in that one. They pair up again in Apollo 13, which is also an extremely good film with Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton co-starring. It's also based on a true story, if that appeals to you.
Thanks so much, i’m glad you noticed. We have been working on it! We will add Forrest Gump and Apollo 13 to our list. We have seen Forrest Gump, but not for a veeery long time and I’ve never seen Apollo 13.
@@totallywhatever The number of people who expect a rescue mission, and fault Paul & Co for _allowing_ the execution to go forward- when all of them (except Percy) would have given the world to be able to set him free.
Brutal, David Morse, is 6’5” same as Michael Clarke Duncan, but with risers and other tricks he appears much bigger. The bunk and electric chair were made smaller to give MCD a larger effect.
Same writers directors producers and many actors also in the Shawshank redemption! Bonnie Hunt has been the best actress in Hollywood for 40 years but never gets leading roles. But what she did in Dave, and Jerry McGuire, is incredible! The old guy is Harry Dean Stanton. Bern in movies since black n white! From Dillinger to godfather 2, Red Dawn, the Hulk, this, u name it!
4:57 no shoes, they had a plank sort of thing he'd walk on, the camera cuts once he gets the end so they can adjust it again. The bed, cell bars and chair were all made smaller to make him look enormous even though I believe "Brutal" is actually taller than all of them if I remember correctly 6:01 MCD said he was actually scared in this scene which absolutely just breaks my heart knowing he never got the award & recognition he deserved for this role before he passed 28:12 St. Christopher was the perfect gift because he's apparently the patron saint of travelers which hints at how JC (Jesus Christ/ John Coffey) just "dropped out of the sky" 31:06 not only did he get into Brier ridge, he's actually in the same room as Wild Bill was in lol 34:28 not only did he request to have the hood off, JC also was shown to have died w/ his eyes still open which to me also points back to him being scared of the dark.
I've enjoyed your reactions. Very genuine and endearing. One film you might enjoy is a Civil War-era love story called Cold Mountain, directed by Anthony Minghella. It's sad and contains some violence, of course, but it's also touching and very well acted. Great performances by Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Renee Zellweger, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, I believe. It's a great film, and I haven't seen many reactions to it. Good luck with the channel!
Harry Dean Stanton plays Toot Toot the trustee practicing the execution. He is so beloved by Steven King, author, that two of the characters are named after him. One is HARRY Terwiliger and the other is DEAN STANTON.
Now you have to watch The Shawshank Redemption. From the same stable, a masterpiece, still very emotional but with a much more satisfying, uplifting ending.
'Green Mile' is part of a traditional reaction trio with 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'The Shawshank Redemption.' Percy Wetmore is one of the greatest antagonist performances of all time. It's always fun to watch new reactors getting to know Percy.
Percy (Doug Hutchison) after this movie went to Salt Lake City and married a 16 year old girl. He is blacklisted in Hollywoood now, you won't see him in any more movies.
Sad story really. Good actor. People still listen to Elvis as if he did nothing wrong. Not saying it's right - but funny how we pick and choose which people are stigmatised
Sorry but Paul touched on it. When he was holding the mouse during the execution is when the mouse got it. And when he shows Paul what Billy had done he had to give him a part so he could see it. Just being healed didn’t extend the life. Just so happens that the ones who were healed had other contacts with John that extended their lives.
When John says im sorry for what i am instead of for what ive done ..gets me everytime ..classic movie...great reaction..checkout CASTAWAY...Also Forrest Gump..
Tom Hanks is 6'-0". Michael Clark Duncan was 6'-5" (300+ lbs), but David Morse is also tall at 6'-4", so yeah, they used some props and camera angle tricks to make Duncan look even taller.
Not a bad pick ladies 💚 Stephen King also writes drama, but my favorite King Drama for recommendations is Stand By Me, not sure if that story was based on his childhood. But it’s a great movie. And for Spooky King stories: - The Shining -Doctor Sleep - Christine ( directed by John. Carpenter) - Carrie - Children Of The Corn ( 80s version) -Cujo Just to name a few.
I will never NOT cry during this film. Each and every actor played their role to perfection and MCD should of nabbed an Oscar for this.
Agreed, he should’ve won an Oscar!
The actor who played Percy had me hating him within the first scene.
Only other film I've seen that actor in is The Salton Sea. Made you hate him well in that too. 😂@@diannaellis4708
You’re not wrong. I even had to look up who did win best supporting role. Michael Caine got it for The Cider House Rules. A good movie, but still feel the wrong actor won although Caine was good. Kevin Spacey won best actor for American Beauty which I can agree with. He is an amazing actor tbf.
Don't worry, ladies, I was in tears to by the end of the reaction. You can watch it 100 times, and it will always make you cry.
Definitely a tearjerker! 😭
I cry every single time I watch it. I even cry during reactions. Schindler's List affects me the same way. And Titanic.

He wad the same height as David Morse (Brutal) and an inch shorter than David Cromwell (the warden).

It gets me every time. I've seen several reactions to this and several have said that it is the best movie that they will never watch again. good reaction ladies.
Thanks so much for watching, it was a powerful movie for sure!
I have seen this movie so many times. I cry every time I watch it. It pulls at your heartstrings.
"That was a heavy one." Yeah it is. I've seen this a lot but still cry every time. Loved your reaction. Thank you. Ciao. ❤
Thanks so much for watching, what a powerful movie!
Thanks for letting us come on this journey with you. Yep, I was crying too.
Thanks so much for watching!
That last line from Paul on the outro of the film is always so saddening for me because he admits to us the viewers that the very act of living has truly become a curse for him; which the irony of that revelation being he spent a great deal of his professional life assisting in the taking of quite a few lives on The Green Mile as he coined it. 😔
Good point, its a sad realization.
Just subscribed while looking for the green mile reaction lol looking forward to seeing your other film reaction as well,you seem like lovely people
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! We hope you enjoy our videos!
Those whom Coffey heals also benefit from (or, perhaps, are cursed with) an unnaturally extended lifespan.
•His healing results in purifying a person completely, leaving only a physical manifestation of the disease - swarms of insect-like creatures or entities - which he exhales out of his body.
•Mind Reading: John Coffey possesses mind reading through touching, where he can see a person's past if he lays his hands on him/her. •He was almost literally an angel sent down to help Earth, he may have been a giant, but, he was an incredibly kind and caring man, someone who wanted to heal rather than harm.
He was very kind, and his story was very tragic.
@@totallywhatever his initials are also JC kind of an on the nose allusion for Jesus Christ
lol NS
some of the best story telling and acting in any movie Ever this for me is just one of those movies you just Must watch at least once...
The acting was top notch!!
Ladies, I'm late getting to this reaction, but let me say that the feels you had while watching, come back every single time you watch. At least for me. Every. Time! And I've seen this, either through my full viewing or watching reaction videos, at least 20 times. Wet eyes each and every one.
It is a truly emotional movie! ❤️
I don't watch that movie anymore because I never feel like crying, but I wanted to see you experience it. And now I need to watch something happy.
We needed something happy afterwards too!!
The bit that ACTUALLY makes me ball is when you see big Brutal crying. The big tough man showing his genuine side
I know, seeing him cry is so hard!
There are only 2 movies I've ever seen where the performance of the actors was top tier--The Green Mile and To Kill A Mockingbird. The latter having the best courtroom scenes ever, and equal in emotion to the former.
We definitely felt like all of the acting in this movie was superb!
Thus is my favorite movie - it’s beautiful - watching your reaction is like seeing it the very 1st time - watch it again you won’t be sorry.
Thanks so much for watching!
First tears for you girls in the reactions. With the green mile it's hard to resist.
also nice editing.
you have improved the graphic aspect of the video a lot
Thank you so much! We’re working on improving as much as we can as we go!
as a 45 year old man , i think a person has no heart and no soul, if this movie doesn't make them cry.
I don't usually like to leave a comment on this movie reaction unless I can't help myself I'm new to this channel so I'm not sure on your names ladies but the lady in black you called it... the bad or the badness, (the flies thing) iv watched now over 30 reactions to this movie your the only person to do so besides myself even when I was a kid watching this for the first time iv always called it the bad or the badness so this was nice to see from you... made me smile during a very difficult movie to watch I cry every single time watching this and always at different points I love seeing reactors cry to this because it makes me feel... not so alone in it thank you.
We are so glad you related to our video! Thanks so much for watching.
This film gets me EVERY time I see it. 😢❤
Us too! It's a powerful movie!
The Green Mile is a very very good movie. In my opinion the best movie ever created.
It is an amazing movie!
Its obviously very subjective, but definitely in the conversation. I would easily put it among my personal top 20.
Great reaction ladies, I’m in tears watching this movie every time.
When I was an intern in a wealth management firm I went to the most exclusive nursing home that I have ever seen. It was a nursing home/hospital. Our client lived in a Penthouse with her own small city-style park. As soon as you exit the elevator. She lived on the 19th floor.
Wow thats pretty nice! I’m sure super expensive, too!
I'm sure you've done the research on the actors in this one already, but: Tom Hanks, Barry Pepper, David Morse, Michael Clarke Duncan, Sam Rockwell, Bonnie Hunt, James Cromwell...the list goes on. It was great experiencing this movie with you both. 🙂
James Cromwell is a great character actor, he played the Prison Superintendant whose wife was cured by John. David Morse is also fantastic. He played Brutus.
All the acting in this movie was great!
THANK YOU for being understanding of the parents in the film. Other reactors on UA-cam would get angry and curse the parents, one reactor even said she wanted the parents to be executed, which shows that their emotions are all shallow and surface level. They seem to forget that the parents lost two children and they squarely believe John Coffey did the crime. Thank you for letting viewers know that the parents are also deserved of sympathy and compassion.
I was 11 years old when i first saw this movie back in 2000 . I was supposed to go to school the next day but this movie came on tv snd caught my attention. Till this day i regret it. I keep crying everytime johns execution comes on.
It’s such a tough moment to watch! 😞
Thank you , thank you!!
You got the major plot points and were totally engaged. Love it!
Thanks so much for watching!
The practice guy is the janitor! 😂😂😂😂 geez....
Thank you.
For something lighter, but still with the feels, I already suggested "Fried Green Tomatoes" (1991) and "Pleasantville" (1998), but I would like to suggest: Dave (1993) for decency and love ruling the day, "Strictly Ballroom" (1992) because love and dancing make the world better; and finally "Society" (1992) because you seem drawn to the (much) darker stuff.
Wow, thanks so much for the list. We haven’t seen any of these!
@@totallywhatever I strongly second both Dave and Pleasantville. Both are great films.
I agree, I strongly second Dave and Pleasantville. Both great movies! I have heard of Fried Green Tomatoes, but the Society and Ballroom also sound interesting. Great picks!
love your reaction from both of you girl!!!
keep the good work!!👊
since it's October put the Exorcist (1973) and Evil Dead (Original 1981) to your list if they're not on it!!😏
you will hate me but..... i'm use to it!!🤣
Thanks so much for watching and I’ll add those movies to our list!!
This was one of my favorite books ever and I was a bucket of tears in during the book and the movie theater - I still cry watching it. The beautiful soul of John coffee
This is my first time seeing you two ladies. Beautiful reaction!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great reaction video! Keep 'em rolling!
Thanks so much for watching!
9:50 "Did he say he was a trustee?"
Yes.
An inmate who has demonstrated good behavior might be designated as "trustee".
In return for possibly reducing their sentence, or at least a kind word from the warden during parole hearings, the trustee helps the guards by performing tasks at the prison but outside the areas of confinement.
This guy can afford to goof around since he's never going to be executed; he might even be up for parole soon.
Side note: this actor is Harry Dean Stanton, star of many, many movies but he'll always be beloved for his role in Alien.
Ah ha! We were wondering what that meant. Thanks!
Another great reaction! I see the editing is improving as well, so kudos for that too.
I assume you've seen Forrest Gump, but if you haven't you should see that one since Gary Sinise and Tom Hanks are together in that one. They pair up again in Apollo 13, which is also an extremely good film with Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton co-starring. It's also based on a true story, if that appeals to you.
Thanks so much, i’m glad you noticed. We have been working on it! We will add Forrest Gump and Apollo 13 to our list. We have seen Forrest Gump, but not for a veeery long time and I’ve never seen Apollo 13.
Just found your channel. Great reaction. Subscribed ❤
Thank you so much!!
this is the first time i've seen you channel. i'll be looking forward to more
Thanks so much for watching!
It's only a movie ladies, no actors or mice were hurt in the making of it. Amazing movie
It wad great!
Wonderful reaction of you both ^^
Thank you so much for watching!
what a great reaction..hard movie to watch, but you two were amazing
Thanks so much for watching!
Love your reactions!
Thank you so much for watching our small channel!
One of the very few reactions that actually GETS why the guards can’t do anything to help save John Coffey.
Yeah, that was a tough moment realizing the fact they couldn’t help him.
@@totallywhatever
The number of people who expect a rescue mission, and fault Paul & Co for _allowing_ the execution to go forward- when all of them (except Percy) would have given the world to be able to set him free.
Brutal, David Morse, is 6’5” same as Michael Clarke Duncan, but with risers and other tricks he appears much bigger. The bunk and electric chair were made smaller to give MCD a larger effect.
Wow, I was wondering how they made him look so much bigger. I know he's a tall guy but he was towering over everyone! Thanks!
Same writers directors producers and many actors also in the Shawshank redemption! Bonnie Hunt has been the best actress in Hollywood for 40 years but never gets leading roles. But what she did in Dave, and Jerry McGuire, is incredible! The old guy is Harry Dean Stanton. Bern in movies since black n white! From Dillinger to godfather 2, Red Dawn, the Hulk, this, u name it!
Oh Bonnie Hunt, that’s who she is! We knew we knew her!!
S Tier movie. I still cry at this one no matter how many times I watch.
It is pretty amazing, we agree!
Great job ladies! Y’all held it together pretty well!
Thanks so much!
Great reaction to a classic. Well done ladies.
Thanks so much for watching with us!
also - how the late Michael Clark Duncan didn't get an oscar for this performance is criminal
We totally agree!!
HEY GUYS, NEW SUB HERE. LOVED THE REACTION. AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, NANNETTE YOU ARE THE CUTEST FREAKING THING I EVER SEEN!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍💚💚💚💚💚💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for subbing!
le casting entier mérite un oscar, Hutchison en tête...
Yes, the acting was superb!
Next on the list is The Shawshank redemption. It's simply a must. Greetings from South Africa.
Thanks so much for watching, we have Shawshank Redemption on our list!
Great reaction! I just subscribed.
Thanks for subbing!
4:57 no shoes, they had a plank sort of thing he'd walk on, the camera cuts once he gets the end so they can adjust it again. The bed, cell bars and chair were all made smaller to make him look enormous even though I believe "Brutal" is actually taller than all of them if I remember correctly
6:01 MCD said he was actually scared in this scene which absolutely just breaks my heart knowing he never got the award & recognition he deserved for this role before he passed
28:12 St. Christopher was the perfect gift because he's apparently the patron saint of travelers which hints at how JC (Jesus Christ/ John Coffey) just "dropped out of the sky"
31:06 not only did he get into Brier ridge, he's actually in the same room as Wild Bill was in lol
34:28 not only did he request to have the hood off, JC also was shown to have died w/ his eyes still open which to me also points back to him being scared of the dark.
I've enjoyed your reactions. Very genuine and endearing.
One film you might enjoy is a Civil War-era love story called Cold Mountain, directed by Anthony Minghella.
It's sad and contains some violence, of course, but it's also touching and very well acted.
Great performances by Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Renee Zellweger, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, I believe.
It's a great film, and I haven't seen many reactions to it.
Good luck with the channel!
Thanks so much for watching and for the recommendation!
@@totallywhatever You're welcome!
Harry Dean Stanton plays Toot Toot the trustee practicing the execution. He is so beloved by Steven King, author, that two of the characters are named after him. One is HARRY Terwiliger and the other is DEAN STANTON.
So sad yet so beautiful, just amazing.
This movie is a masterpiece. I can watch it over and over and always get choked up.
It is! We weren't prepared. We need to watch it again,
Thanks for sharing ✌️
Y’all are delightful
Thanks so much for watching!
Now you have to watch The Shawshank Redemption. From the same stable, a masterpiece, still very emotional but with a much more satisfying, uplifting ending.
Thanks for the rec, we could use an uplifting ending!
What a great review I'm going to subscribe
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
'Green Mile' is part of a traditional reaction trio with 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'The Shawshank Redemption.' Percy Wetmore is one of the greatest antagonist performances of all time. It's always fun to watch new reactors getting to know Percy.
He is sooo good at playing an evil character!
Great reaction! I'm a new subscriber.
Thanks so much for subscribing and watching!
Percy (Doug Hutchison) after this movie went to Salt Lake City and married a 16 year old girl. He is blacklisted in Hollywoood now, you won't see him in any more movies.
Yeah, one of those cases where the actor and the character they play are both very sleazy.
Sad story really. Good actor. People still listen to Elvis as if he did nothing wrong. Not saying it's right - but funny how we pick and choose which people are stigmatised
@@deadlyredly1 Well said
Kinda shocked considering we all know what goes on in Hollywood. Shocked they didn't give him free reign.
Hollyweird just dont like it when you do it in the open..
When you cry, you know it was good. ❤
Great reaction. You girls are adorable and very genuine.
Good job
Fantastic reaction ladies. New sub here! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!!
The second I saw your poster I knew I was going to subscribe X-Files love it
If Tom Hanks and the mouse was given extra years, surely the governors wife would live even longer?
Ohhh good point! That could even be a movie on its own what happens to these people after John Coffey intervenes in their lives!
Sorry but Paul touched on it. When he was holding the mouse during the execution is when the mouse got it. And when he shows Paul what Billy had done he had to give him a part so he could see it. Just being healed didn’t extend the life. Just so happens that the ones who were healed had other contacts with John that extended their lives.
@@brianhouse8264 you've just made that up!lol
When John says im sorry for what i am instead of for what ive done ..gets me everytime ..classic movie...great reaction..checkout CASTAWAY...Also Forrest Gump..
I’m gonna start crying again just thinking about it!
Sam Rockwell gave an epic performance as Wild Bill, I mean the whole cast was awesome.
Totally agree!!
hey ladies, i enjoyed your reaction so much i subscribed, btw, there's a reason his initial's are J. C.!
That makes sense! Thanks for watching!
Tom Hanks had three great movies The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Forest Gump
Yes, he has quite a few classics!
more than three dude
you forget:
philadelphia
Apollo 13
Cast Away
prior to that he was an 80's star in comedy movies.
Tom Hanks is 6'-0". Michael Clark Duncan was 6'-5" (300+ lbs), but David Morse is also tall at 6'-4", so yeah, they used some props and camera angle tricks to make Duncan look even taller.
Not a bad pick ladies 💚 Stephen King also writes drama, but my favorite King Drama for recommendations is Stand By Me, not sure if that story was based on his childhood. But it’s a great movie.
And for Spooky King stories:
- The Shining
-Doctor Sleep
- Christine ( directed by John. Carpenter)
- Carrie
- Children Of The Corn ( 80s version)
-Cujo
Just to name a few.
Oh, thank you so much! I’ve actually never heard of Doctor Sleep, just added these to our list!
@@totallywhatever make sure you watch The Shining first , Doctor Sleep is the sequel to the The Shining ( 80s version) , so yall watch it in order. ❤️
'The Mist' deserves a mention too, another King movie directed by Frank Tarabont.
