      This one should have won, but it was up against The Sixth Sense, which won that year. I think the Sixth Sense made a bigger impact because of word of mouthy. I never heard of Green Mile until I rented it in the early 2000s.

      Exactly. You caught on quickly to the small details. Many people miss the instances where John feels an evil presence as Wild Bill arrives on the Mile, and also when John is watching the movie as the projector light surrounds John like a halo. Mister Jingles is over 60 years old by the end of the film.

      Yeah, I'd have to agree about it being the best reaction to this movie. I've seen a few where the reactor(s) don't even shed a tear. I can kind of understand, to a point. I have had issues showing any kind of emotion when it comes to death due to watching my grandfather pass away in front of me when I was 11. That direct emotion is severed for me. However, watching others cry makes me reconnect that emotion. My wife asked me why I watch sad videos. It's hard for her to understand.

      Let's calm down with the parasocial behavior. The only difference between shedding tears while watching this film and choking on your tears till your vision gets obscured is simply being, well, a lightweight.
      It has nothing to do with how beautiful ones heart is. More so it's just being invested in a good story. You don't know this person and don't need to blow smoke up her ass because she cries a lot watching movies.

    "Urinating fully and easily" HAS to be top 5 all-time closed-captions. HAS to be. 🤣
    Jokes aside, what crushes me when watching John Coffey's execution is remembering the inspiration behind King's novel - the real-life killing of George Stinney Jr., a 14-year-old boy accused of murdering two young girls in 1944.
    When John asks not to be put under the hood, because he's afraid of the dark, he's asking like a frightened boy about to die, who can't stand the thought of dying in the dark, alone. It kills me every time. 😭

      Nowadays, only the worst kinds of murder are eligible for the death penalty, but in the 1920/30s when this movie took place, lots of lesser crimes were, including even car theft and burglary in some states. By setting it then, Stephen King brilliantly made it easier to sympathize with the inmates, because you really don't know what their crimes were.

    This movie kills me every time. One scene that I’ve grown to appreciate more every time I watch it is right before Del’s execution. You can tell he’s fully rehabilitated, but people weren’t given those sort of chances back then. “I sure wish I coulda met you guys some place else” absolutely destroys me

This makes YOU a BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING. Yes, this world is, CURRENTLY, an ugly place (at the moment), but I'm SO PROUD to see that there are STILL people, LIKE YOU, are still here NOW.

      @Stone_Horse From the book.....Eduard Delacroix was a death-row inmate incarcerated at Cold Mountain Penitentiary for raping and killing a young girl, then trying to cover up his crime by burning her body. The fire was near an apartment building that caught on fire and killed six more people, including two children. After a lengthy trial, he was sentenced to death by electric chair.

      "Neither do you"
      For context in the novel Del was sentenced to death for raping and murdering a girl, and then setting a building on fire to destroy the evidence which subsequently killed 6-7 other people.
      So ye, Del was far from a redeemed soul, even though he did seem genuinely sorry for his actions at the end.
      The part where you see Del laughing at Percy wetting himself is a glimpse into who he was outside, much as when he grins at Percy after Hal orders him off the block at the beginning.

    My (future) wife and I saw this in the theater back when it was first released in 1999 (i think that was the year). I held up until the part when John Coffey is getting strapped in and he starts to quietly sing to himself, "Heaven, I'm in heaven...". That finally broke me and I let out a, "BWUHUHUH" sob. My wife who by then was a sobbing mess looked at me along with a few people seated ahead of us. Thankfully they were crying to and the looks exchanged between us all was, "Yeah, us too!". :)

Whether we know it or not, we're much better off in the long run. Empathy and compassion are in such short supply these days, we need to find a way to find it, no matter the source.

And it hits close to home considering the fact that I work in a prison fortress here in germany. We have no death penalty, for that I'm grateful but as a warden, who is working with so many different inmates for almost 8 years now, you are also getting in touch with all their stories, their lives, regrets, hopes and dreams. It's not for everyone to work in a place like this but I'm happy. For I'm convinced that what I do here every day has some meaning and purpose.

    Great reaction like always, love this movie. The late Michael Clark Duncan said this was the hardest role he had to prepare for. For emotional scenes, Michael Clarke Duncan would recall his father leaving him as a child. There are some fun-facts about it. Fifteen mice were used in the movie. Each spent months being trained to do different tricks.
    Coffey's bed was built shorter in order to make Michael Clarke Duncan look like a giant He also stated that he was genuinely scared when he had that shotgun pointed at him. I missed reading the books when they first came out and kinda wish I would have read them before watching the movie.
    And congrats not many people realize at firsts that John Coffey is a Christ figure. He appeared out of nowhere, as if he had just “fallen out of the sky.” He had foreknowledge of future events. He can see the good or evil that is in men’s hearts. He can heal illness and afflictions and resurrect the dead (if it’s not too late). He is innocent, with a pure soul, yet he is made to suffer and die because of the sins and wickedness of others. And even his initials are J.C., just like Jesus. (Recall the scene where John is watching his first-ever flicker show, and the light from the movie projector is illuminating his head from behind, just like a halo: The Christian symbolism is unmistakable) Keep up the good work.

    This movie kills me every time I watch it. No use trying not to cry. Somehow, watching someone else get destroyed by this movie too makes me feel a little better, more normal, more validated for the emotions that always erupt out of me. Thank you for putting yourself through this one. Amazing writing, acting, story, and characters. So deep. Congrats on 20k - you'll be at 100k in no time! Love watching your reactions, hun. Peace and tons of tissues to you! xo

    Another Stephen King movie is "Misery" starring James Caan and Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates won the Oscar for her performance in this movie.

    She said she wouldn't watch it again. However when flipping through the channels and come across this movie, I always let it play. I can't help but watch it and cry every time. And I suspect she will too.

    What you feel is the point of the movie. Your reaction was what they wanted. It was what you feel. It shows your empathy. That shows your a good person
