You can watch almost any movie with Tom hanks and have good reactions. Saving private ryan, cast away, catch me if you can ( with leo di caprio), even his early work is great, Splash, BIG....
This movie is Titanic for men. If it helps, John is always obeyed. He's just so soft spoken and patient it's easy to miss. And when John decides to take action anyone who tries to stop him just sort of stands back after a moment. There's no knowing how old John is. He has scars that strongly suggest he was beaten with a whip when he was a child; but how long ago was he a child? He may be only able to die by a profound injury. If John had wanted a different outcome at his trial, he could have made it happen.
@@dionysiacosmos It didn't really dawn on me how much pain he must have been in the entire time until he flat out told us near the end. And that just makes it even sadder when rewatching the movie. The dude is just so kind and patient while essentially being in total agony.
@@averymurray4722 I knew I was in trouble when I started tearing up when Delacroix was saying goodbye to Mr. Jingles. I feel like Michael Jeter doesn't get enough credit for his performance in this movie.
It’s refreshing to see you two not talking through certain scenes like so many others do. Your reactions were in your facial expressions and that says it all. Heartbreaking story.
I cry every single freaking time with this movie. The talk Dale gives before his death about he wishes he could have met them somewhere else, the talk John has in his cell about never having a buddy to be with, and tbh it hits me the hardest when I see Brutal tearing up and trying so hard to hold it in… ugh 😩 destroys me every time. Great reaction guys
Michael Clarke Duncan spoke when Tom was being given an award for his work in the film industry. Tom Hanks spoke at Michael Clarke Duncan’s funeral. Both were so beautiful, humorous, and light. But both still break my heart. MCD was a treasure, and he was absolutely made for this role.
This is in my top 5 all time favorite movies. It's a masterpiece. Percy is probably one of the most evil and vile characters ever created. This movie gets you in the feels.
I went over twenty years before watching this film. Now it’s in my top ten of all time. I believe it’s no accident that Steven King named him with the initials of Jesus Christ. I too cry even watching your reaction. God bless both of you.
✈People with true love in their heart will cry during this unforgettable movie. This film should be shown to everyones children and their children throughout time. This is a Masterpiece of a film and should be shared with anyone who has love and compassion in their heart. It's how I know people from all nations are mostly good and it's all of our governments that are evil. There is still love in the world and I pray we all keep our hearts soft and realize we all share one home THIS PLANET. The two of you show that we are all one people and the beauty in your heart radiates. Your channel will grow beyond what you realize because of this.✈
Yes. Every child should see this film. The problem is: children grow up. And, eventually, they become the new police officers, lawyers, teachers, criminals, butchers, priests, etc. Then what? Chances are, people who see this film spend a few moments pondering the emotional content that it wrings out of the viewer. Tomorrow?…they’ll be the exact same person they were BEFORE watching it. Sometimes, entertainment can be a very powerful thing. But…a powerful moment is rarely everlasting.
Officers, butchers, teachers, lawyers... Those are the ones that will keep a just system in place. How about we blame it on the system of government that WE let happen?
Well hon I have a heart and a lot of compassion but I didn't cry sometimes people who have turned hearts can't cry due to being forced to never show emotions
As hard as it is to watch this type of movie. They remind us, we are not machines, and their are always things in this world that we do not understand. *_Love never fails._*
some of the best Acting you will ever see in any film along with some of the best Writing makes this film a very very rare masterpiece. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.
Great reaction my young Brother and Sista 😊. I read the books when they came out, came out in chapters. I couldn't wait, then the movie. Cried my ass off, and still crying along with you. 71 now, but you made me feel like yesteryear 😘. Rock on beautiful couple, I watch all your reactions, rayray ✊✌️🤙🤘😎
I watched this with my mother when it first came and we didnt know anything about it, its the first time she ever ever seen me cry needless to say we both sat there crying most of the way through, great film. Its a shame hes not wirh us anymore michael clarke was a fantastic actor.
The most poignant, gut-punch line in the whole movie (to my way of thinking) is John's "I'm sorry for what I am" as he sits in "Ol' Sparky" awaiting Eternity. And the small aspect that "speaks" so loudly at the end, when Paul shakes John's hand, a bookend for John shaking Paul''s hand upon arrival at Cell Block E at the beginning of the movie -- the completed circle of respect, honor, and gratitude for all the mysticism and humanism that was learned and experienced.
It's very good to see another guy react to this movie the very same way I do. During the most emotional scenes towards the end, I cried (and still do) my damn eyes out. Totally ugly crying to be honest. Certain movies just simply break me. In a good way through, I'd say. It only means that the story really works. I really get drawn into the story/action when things just...well, WORK. Story, acting, soundtrack, etc. I get really immersed and invested emotionally. Mix that with being generally easy moved...and yeah, go figure: 😭😭😭 🤣 Anyway, The Green Mile is a masterpiece. Period.
1. YOU WILL CRY😭😭😭😭 2. Dabbs Greer/old Paul was ill during production, so his part was done later. He also played Reverend Alden on "Little House on the Prairie". 3. Hammersmith was not a good lawyer. (most likely a racial thing. It was 1935 South.) 4. In the book King briefly covers why the Chief and Del are on death row. 5. This movie was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (MCD)😇 and Best Cast but unfortunately neither won.😭😭 6. Players in other King adaptations: Jeffery DeMunn: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, Storm of the Century and William Sadler: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist. David Morse: The Langoliers. Patricia Clarkson played Margarat White in King's remake of Carrie". Needless to say, it was a much different part. 7. Goof: Electricity makes the body contract. Del wouldn't be able to scream. I know it' just for the movie because of the length of the execution scene. 8. IRL James Cromwell is a vegan and didn't want to grill meat for the BBQ scene but was told that in 1935 people actually ate meat so he agreed to have some on the grill. 9. RE Percy: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. KARMA's a Bitch. BTW Kudos to Doug Hutchison for the great job of playing Percy.👌EVERYONE hates him. 10. John also rescues the other patients at Briar Ridge. 11. IRL both David Morse and James Cromwell are about the same height as Michael Clark Duncan (RIP). They used planks, a small bed and smaller chair along with trick photography/angles to make John look taller. 12 The scene where John takes Mr. Jingles for safe keeping before Del's execution, they used a real mouse, and it pooped on Paul's shoulder, and he brushed it off. 13. Now we know what the "day old is fine" dry toast is for. 14 EVERYBODY cries and has to take time to reflect. Congratulations you just experienced. the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. (GOAT) 15. 4 words for you: Stephen King. You're WELCOME!
John Coffey was such a pure, good man and innocent and thats why we all cried so hard when he died. Your reaction was phenomenal. Thank you for being so honest.
When he pulled the evil from Melinda, I could not understand why he did not cough it out. Then he gave that evil and brain killing ashes from Hell to Percy and I almost cheered out loud!
Can't say this is a happy or feel good movie but it certainly is an emotional movie. Watching people all over the world react to this movie it reinforces the idea that we have more important things in common than the the things we let tear us a part.
Watching reactions to this movie are 50/50. Some people hold in their emotions and others, like yourselves, let it out. Lots of tissues and deep breaths for this one. Seeing others cry makes me cry. Crying is a good thing. Shows we have humanity and care. Only way we are going to survive, as a race, is to show emotion.
This is such a beautiful and well written one of a kind movie because it allows us as the audience to connect to each character and i will say for a fact no matter how many times i watch this movie the guy on the right will always be my reaction. Beautifully written, acted and just one of a kind. No movie can ever compete with this.
This originally came out as a mini book series. I read them all and had a hard time getting through them in the end because I was crying so much. Great reaction you two!
You kids! I love this reaction so much. It was just you two reacting to a masterpiece. I've watched so many Green Mile reactions and yours is the best by far. No talking, just watching and feeling. You kids had me crying like a baby... mascara was running... boogies and everything coming down😭. Thank you 😉
You should watch "The Green Mile II." In it John does not die but stores up the electricity then shoots bolts of lightning out of his eyes at the little girl's parents. After John heals Mr. jingles he does not going back to Dell. Instead, he turns into mighty mouse and go tearing after Percy. He runs up his pant leg and starts chowing down on his nuts.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is part of the Frank Darabont (Director) and Stevin King (Writer) trilogy. This, The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist. All are incredible films and well worth your time. However each have their own moments that you will not be soon to forget. I highly recommend all three.
the fist time i watched this movie i cried more than both of you and still can not watch it without breaking down. Your beautiful compassion and empathy was on full display. Only love to you both.
You made me sob (the way I did the first time) watching this movie with you. Thank you for being willing to share your emotions. We all need to clear out those tear ducts now and again.
The cast of characters and acting were spot on in this film . A master piece that illustrates the beautiful deeds and evil deeds of humanity and how the world sees them both. I cried in this film and rightfully so. As horrible and mean the world saw JC he was sinless and loved everyone. Reminds me of the other JC.
I really love when people let their emotions just spill out when watching a movie for the first time and i really loved your guys' reaction. I didnt plan on crying at work today but here i am. This movie always brings out the waterworks in me and seeing both of you cry brought it out even more. This is and will always be in my top 10 movies of all time. Loved your video and you got a new sub. 😊❤
I found your channel because this reaction came up in my feed and I subscribed to your channel because of this reaction and the raw honest emotion. This happens to be one of my favorite movies and my favorite Stephen King book. Wonderful job guys! Looking forward to more of your reactions! ❤
I really like the parts you showed in your edit. They pick up on a lot of subtly in this movie. Even watching reactions, I still tear up throughout this movie, even though I saw this movie at the theatre when it was released. Beautiful reaction.
This is the kind of reaction i like. no need for commentary, i mean sometimes i like it but i just want to see people watching. good reaction guys. amazing movie choice
On the list of perfect movies, this one is right at the very top. I don't know how you can make a better movie than this. I've seen this at least 20 times already and I still cried along with you my friend.
Such an emotional tide this movie puts the viewer through. I love the willingness to share yourselves with your audience. Thank you both for being so brave.
This is my first time seeing a reaction video from y’all. I really enjoyed it and thought everything was spot on. I loved how the gentleman caught on so quickly to everything and was so observant, but also how raw and real both of your reactions were. I enjoyed this a lot and look forward to more reactions. You have a new follow and I just subscribed.
I cried watching you cry, my man! I remember my first time watching this movie…I carry/carried with me some of the lessons portrayed. Truly a movie to relish in.
The silence during this masterpiece of film making assures me there is no other modern day film like this I was a train wreck when I experienced it for the first time an have watched it a cpl of times since and it still hurts deeply,if u beautiful couple havnt watched and reacted to the Frank Capra film It's A Wonderful Life starring James Stewart &Donna Reed please do it's in my opinion the greatest film ever made
Loved the genuine and heartfelt reaction and what was better too it's that you guys didn't interrupt the movie much or at all, like many reactors do, I appreciate that, even if we're watching a reacrion vid some movies hit harder than others and it's nice to watch the reaction without much interruption. I have watched this movie many times and every single time it breaks my heart, such an amazing film. Other movies that do the same are Saving Private Ryan, The last Samurai, Memoirs of a Geisha and a few others
It's like Gandalf says at the end of Return of the King - "Not all tears are an evil." That's one of three Frank Darabont - Stephen King adaptations. The others are The Shawshank Redemption - another classic - and The Mist which is a straight out horror movie. Other excellent King adaptations are the two done by Rob Reiner - Misery and Stand by Me. Also watch worthy are The Dead Zone, The Shining & Doctor Sleep, and the overlooked Dolores Claiborne.
I first saw this movie when I was only 7 or 8 and I actually understood almost every part of this. It's stayed with me ever since. It wasn't until a few years later, coming back to it, that I understood all the rest. Most importantly, why they still decided to proceed with John's execution. I didn't understand that when I was little.
I cry like a baby every time I watch this movie the only difference is each time I watch it the tears fall early….!!! An all time great, classic movie…❤❤
“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?” A lovely reaction. We cried along with you. 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. John was clearly too good for this world! {RIP Michael Clarke Duncan} After such an emotionally draining film, it's time for a romance movie or two. You should react to "Meet Joe Black" (with Brad Pitt, Claire Forlani, and Anthony Hopkins), "About Time" (Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams), and "The Lake House" (with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock). All well-acted and interesting love stories with a twist. Keep going! Subscribed.
This is one of my all time favorite movies - & I still cry every time I watch it - even after all these years, even knowing what's coming! You'd have to be made of the hardest stone not to get emotional watching this!!
Well... You two aren't the only ones who cry like children while watching this film. I watched this movie about twice a year ever since it came out. It gets me every single time. And i'm not ashamed to admit it, even though I spent 22 years as an Airborne Infantryman.
I have cried hard at this movie every single time I watched it since it first came out. How in the HELL did you make me cry even HARDER??? 💔💔😭😭😭😭 BEST REACTION TO THIS MOVIE I EVER SEEN!!!
Without a doubt, this is the most visceral reaction I've ever seen from a reaction channel. But what really disturbs me is: after watching this nearly 3-hour-long emotional rollercoaster of a film, how many people will go back to being the EXACT same person they were...before viewing this "potentially" life-altering experience. Humans have to be God's most puzzling (and disappointing!!) creation.
I was 11 years old when i first saw this movie in 2000. ... I had school the next day but this movies was playing on my tv with the black box it caught my attention and just watch the whole thing. When John coffey scene came on i cried my heart out... My dad ran into my room qnd saw me staring at the tv . When he saw what i was watching he just sat down next to me. ..... You guys just made me cry the same as i was back then im 35 years old now and like i said. I just cried like the little 11 year old i was
This film is such a masterpiece. Just a beautiful story. Hugs all around cause I know everyone is crying. Thank u so much, really enjoyed the reaction, take care, peace
I just found your channel and watched several reactions. I really appreciate your showing real emotions at times when the movie (with all the writing and directing and the acting) has created a moment when the emotion is appropriate. It really draws me in and helps me connect with you at those times when those movie times connect with me. Thank you for this channel and sharing with us. I am a supporter of your channel and you and your country. Thank you for this reaction.
YES, YOU HAVE EN EXCELLENT MEMORY THAT GUY IS THE SNIPER FROM THE MOVIE SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, HE IS CANADIAN. SAME AS MYSELF. ITS HARD BOT TO CRY WATCHING THIS MOVIE.
Anybody else point out Jon Coffey's initials? JC? Just like Jesus Christ. An innocent man with super powers who restrains himself to be executed for a crime that he didn't commit to complete the experience of human cruelty.
Was looking for this comment. If I didn’t find it I was gonna write it. Thanks for pointing out the parallels. I feel like it might help people understand the power of the Christian story and Christs sacrifice, at least those who might not have been exposed to it otherwise. 👍🏻 such an incredible movie and great reaction!
I’m a little smaller than Mike Clarke Duncan and I cried like I’d lost my mother. Something about this movie and the time it was made in touches your soul. You knew because of Mikes skin color they were gonna kill him from the beginning but finding out the kindness in his heart and the fact that’s he’s a walking miracle makes this movie probably top 10-15 for me all time.
A mouse generally lives 5-7 years. It was around 50 or so when Mr Jingles finally died. The implication is Paul might live another 300-400 years… We tend to think of long life as a gift, but when you outlive everyone else around you… well it becomes a curse.
"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.
I always loved this movie but it's only since I've reached my 30's it makes me really cry. I'm getting more emotional or life experience and the injustices in the world pain me more and more. This movie taps into something and it makes me tear up which isn't easy.
A story about prison guards with integrity and compassion, death row inmates sentenced to die. We know nothing else. And cry in total devastation, I cry until I get a bounding headache. The final line of the movie makes me sob too
Just shows you both have Beautiful souls, very hard one for the both of you to watch, well done for making through to the end, take care, kind regards Chris.
I was 7 years old when I watched this in the theater with my daddy and brother. My daddy was a mans man, that night was the first time me and my brother saw our daddy cry. I didn’t realize why until I watched this when I was much older. It’s tough 💯💯💯🤙🏻
Ive seen a lot of reactions to this movie and i have to say you two have the best one ❤ i just wanna give you two the biggest hug. Much love from Australia. Such big hearts you have
The Green Mile is a masterpiece. Once you’ve seen it, the world seems different somehow…some how better and worse at the same time…which makes watching people react to it so powerful. The raw emotion that you both shared was amazing and beautiful, and is the next best thing to watching it for the first time ourselves. Thank you both for this amazing reaction ❤
One of the things this movie teaches you, in regards to crimes, is that things are not always as they seen when you're looking at them. It appeared that he killed those girls, but we didn't know the full story. That's something we should learn before we accuse people of things.
We just want to say thank you for your amazing support! We are reading all your comments and it's warming our hearts how kind your words are! 😢❤
Please watch SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION ... if you like the green mile you'll love shawshank redemption 😊
"Hacksaw ridge" is a great movie
Legit reaction! You must ser the joy luck club ❤
Trust us when we tell you we all reacted the same way he did.
I hope on the day of my judgement someone like John is there to vouch for me
You can watch almost any movie with Tom hanks and have good reactions. Saving private ryan, cast away, catch me if you can ( with leo di caprio), even his early work is great, Splash, BIG....

One of the most genuine reactions I've seen so far. You guys were infectious. I hope to see you react THE SIXTH SENSE.
I've watched a lot of Green Mile reactions, it's top 3 for me. This is my favorite reaction video I've seen. Thanks and cheers.
This is one of the best movies ever made. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Watching reactions to this movie are 50/50. Some people hold in their emotions and others, like yourselves, let it out. Lots of tissues and deep breaths for this one. Seeing others cry makes me cry. Crying is a good thing. Shows we have humanity and care. Only way we are going to survive, as a race, is to show emotion.
This is such a beautiful and well written one of a kind movie because it allows us as the audience to connect to each character and i will say for a fact no matter how many times i watch this movie the guy on the right will always be my reaction. Beautifully written, acted and just one of a kind. No movie can ever compete with this.
I remember seeing this movie in a theater. I swear there was not a dry in the whole theater.
This originally came out as a mini book series. I read them all and had a hard time getting through them in the end because I was crying so much. Great reaction you two!
You kids! I love this reaction so much. It was just you two reacting to a masterpiece. I've watched so many Green Mile reactions and yours is the best by far. No talking, just watching and feeling. You kids had me crying like a baby... mascara was running... boogies and everything coming down😭. Thank you 😉
I've seen it hundreds of times and I still cry! Every time! Great movie and reaction!
You should watch "The Green Mile II." In it John does not die but stores up the electricity then shoots bolts of lightning out of his eyes at the little girl's parents. After John heals Mr. jingles he does not going back to Dell. Instead, he turns into mighty mouse and go tearing after Percy. He runs up his pant leg and starts chowing down on his nuts.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is part of the Frank Darabont (Director) and Stevin King (Writer) trilogy. This, The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist. All are incredible films and well worth your time.
However each have their own moments that you will not be soon to forget. I highly recommend all three.
the fist time i watched this movie i cried more than both of you and still can not watch it without breaking down. Your beautiful compassion and empathy was on full display. Only love to you both.
You made me sob (the way I did the first time) watching this movie with you. Thank you for being willing to share your emotions. We all need to clear out those tear ducts now and again.
The cast of characters and acting were spot on in this film . A master piece that illustrates the beautiful deeds and evil deeds of humanity and how the world sees them both. I cried in this film and rightfully so. As horrible and mean the world saw JC he was sinless and loved everyone. Reminds me of the other JC.
I think that was kinda the idea!!
Saw this at the movie theater and watched at least 30 grown men cry including myself lol 😅
I really love when people let their emotions just spill out when watching a movie for the first time and i really loved your guys' reaction. I didnt plan on crying at work today but here i am. This movie always brings out the waterworks in me and seeing both of you cry brought it out even more. This is and will always be in my top 10 movies of all time. Loved your video and you got a new sub. 😊❤
I found your channel because this reaction came up in my feed and I subscribed to your channel because of this reaction and the raw honest emotion. This happens to be one of my favorite movies and my favorite Stephen King book. Wonderful job guys! Looking forward to more of your reactions! ❤
Wow, thank you
This was a very sad and emotional movie for sure. However, there is good news. Mr. Jingles won an Academy award for Best Supporting Rodent in a Drama.
WOW WHAT A HEARTFELD REACTION TO A FANTASTIC MOVIE LOVE FROM DENMARK
I absolutely cherished your tears, they show your deep sensitivity, and it's beautiful to see. If only more humans were like you.
I really like the parts you showed in your edit. They pick up on a lot of subtly in this movie. Even watching reactions, I still tear up throughout this movie, even though I saw this movie at the theatre when it was released. Beautiful reaction.
There's no way anybody could be prepared to watch this movie. Such an amazing heartbreaking story.
This is the kind of reaction i like. no need for commentary, i mean sometimes i like it but i just want to see people watching. good reaction guys. amazing movie choice
On the list of perfect movies, this one is right at the very top.
I don't know how you can make a better movie than this.
I've seen this at least 20 times already and I still cried along with you my friend.
Such an emotional tide this movie puts the viewer through. I love the willingness to share yourselves with your audience. Thank you both for being so brave.
This is my first time seeing a reaction video from y’all. I really enjoyed it and thought everything was spot on. I loved how the gentleman caught on so quickly to everything and was so observant, but also how raw and real both of your reactions were. I enjoyed this a lot and look forward to more reactions. You have a new follow and I just subscribed.
I cried watching you cry, my man! I remember my first time watching this movie…I carry/carried with me some of the lessons portrayed. Truly a movie to relish in.
I love the oscillating fan in the background, real relaxing and comforting. So glad you guys had it on for the video.
The silence during this masterpiece of film making assures me there is no other modern day film like this I was a train wreck when I experienced it for the first time an have watched it a cpl of times since and it still hurts deeply,if u beautiful couple havnt watched and reacted to the Frank Capra film It's A Wonderful Life starring James Stewart &Donna Reed please do it's in my opinion the greatest film ever made
Loved the genuine and heartfelt reaction and what was better too it's that you guys didn't interrupt the movie much or at all, like many reactors do, I appreciate that, even if we're watching a reacrion vid some movies hit harder than others and it's nice to watch the reaction without much interruption.
I have watched this movie many times and every single time it breaks my heart, such an amazing film. Other movies that do the same are Saving Private Ryan, The last Samurai, Memoirs of a Geisha and a few others
Thank you!
Saving Private Ryan and Last Samurai you can find on our channel, by the way
It's like Gandalf says at the end of Return of the King - "Not all tears are an evil."
That's one of three Frank Darabont - Stephen King adaptations. The others are The Shawshank Redemption - another classic - and The Mist which is a straight out horror movie. Other excellent King adaptations are the two done by Rob Reiner - Misery and Stand by Me. Also watch worthy are The Dead Zone, The Shining & Doctor Sleep, and the overlooked Dolores Claiborne.
I first saw this movie when I was only 7 or 8 and I actually understood almost every part of this. It's stayed with me ever since. It wasn't until a few years later, coming back to it, that I understood all the rest. Most importantly, why they still decided to proceed with John's execution. I didn't understand that when I was little.
I think they had orders and John Cafey claimed to.leave because life was a burden of loneliness for him.
Y'all are a cute couple. Seeing y'all emotional together is very touching. Great reaction to another of my favorites. Keep it up.
I cry like a baby every time I watch this movie the only difference is each time I watch it the tears fall early….!!! An all time great, classic movie…❤❤
My first time seeing you guys. Your heartfelt reactions broke my heart and made me love you both!
❤️
“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?”
A lovely reaction. We cried along with you. 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. John was clearly too good for this world! {RIP Michael Clarke Duncan}
After such an emotionally draining film, it's time for a romance movie or two. You should react to "Meet Joe Black" (with Brad Pitt, Claire Forlani, and Anthony Hopkins), "About Time" (Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams), and "The Lake House" (with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock). All well-acted and interesting love stories with a twist. Keep going! Subscribed.
This is one of my all time favorite movies - & I still cry every time I watch it - even after all these years, even knowing what's coming!
You'd have to be made of the hardest stone not to get emotional watching this!!
It's been 25 yearsnsince this masterpiece came out and I STILL CRY LIKE A BABY EVERY SINGLE TIME!!❤❤❤
The movie that first made me cry as a child was 'The land before time'. The movie that first made me cry as an adult was this....
Authentic reaction right here
Well... You two aren't the only ones who cry like children while watching this film. I watched this movie about twice a year ever since it came out. It gets me every single time. And i'm not ashamed to admit it, even though I spent 22 years as an Airborne Infantryman.
This is one of my favorite reactions. Not too much talking and we could get a glimpse into your heart. Beautiful reaction. Thanks.
I have cried hard at this movie every single time I watched it since it first came out. How in the HELL did you make me cry even HARDER??? 💔💔😭😭😭😭 BEST REACTION TO THIS MOVIE I EVER SEEN!!!
Without a doubt, this is the most visceral reaction I've ever seen from a reaction channel.
But what really disturbs me is: after watching this nearly 3-hour-long emotional rollercoaster of a film, how many people will go back to being the EXACT same person they were...before viewing this "potentially" life-altering experience.
Humans have to be God's most puzzling (and disappointing!!) creation.
I was 11 years old when i first saw this movie in 2000. ... I had school the next day but this movies was playing on my tv with the black box it caught my attention and just watch the whole thing. When John coffey scene came on i cried my heart out... My dad ran into my room qnd saw me staring at the tv . When he saw what i was watching he just sat down next to me. ..... You guys just made me cry the same as i was back then im 35 years old now and like i said. I just cried like the little 11 year old i was
I cried like a baby when I first saw this film. It was simply heartbreaking but Brutal's punch was so satisfying
Probably the most genuine, reaction videos Ive ever seen. Powerful stuff, thanks for sharing.
G'day Mr & Ms Pillow , A very heart ♥ warming reactions that movie is very deep thank for showing ,
All I'm going to say is that you two have a good soul, I could just see it in your emotions.
This film is such a masterpiece. Just a beautiful story. Hugs all around cause I know everyone is crying. Thank u so much, really enjoyed the reaction, take care, peace
I just found your channel and watched several reactions. I really appreciate your showing real emotions at times when the movie (with all the writing and directing and the acting) has created a moment when the emotion is appropriate. It really draws me in and helps me connect with you at those times when those movie times connect with me. Thank you for this channel and sharing with us. I am a supporter of your channel and you and your country. Thank you for this reaction.
That movie broke me. I have never before nor since, cried like this for people who never existed, for a story that never was.
YES, YOU HAVE EN EXCELLENT MEMORY THAT GUY IS THE SNIPER FROM THE MOVIE SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, HE IS CANADIAN. SAME AS MYSELF. ITS HARD BOT TO CRY WATCHING THIS MOVIE.
Anybody else point out Jon Coffey's initials? JC? Just like Jesus Christ. An innocent man with super powers who restrains himself to be executed for a crime that he didn't commit to complete the experience of human cruelty.
Was looking for this comment. If I didn’t find it I was gonna write it. Thanks for pointing out the parallels. I feel like it might help people understand the power of the Christian story and Christs sacrifice, at least those who might not have been exposed to it otherwise. 👍🏻 such an incredible movie and great reaction!
I’m a little smaller than Mike Clarke Duncan and I cried like I’d lost my mother. Something about this movie and the time it was made in touches your soul. You knew because of Mikes skin color they were gonna kill him from the beginning but finding out the kindness in his heart and the fact that’s he’s a walking miracle makes this movie probably top 10-15 for me all time.
Mike's skin?

A mouse generally lives 5-7 years. It was around 50 or so when Mr Jingles finally died. The implication is Paul might live another 300-400 years…
We tend to think of long life as a gift, but when you outlive everyone else around you… well it becomes a curse.
"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.
Yep. Did a great job making him seem as large as the character was in the book. 😊
I always loved this movie but it's only since I've reached my 30's it makes me really cry. I'm getting more emotional or life experience and the injustices in the world pain me more and more. This movie taps into something and it makes me tear up which isn't easy.
Thank you. This film makes me cry every time I see it.
A story about prison guards with integrity and compassion, death row inmates sentenced to die. We know nothing else. And cry in total devastation, I cry until I get a bounding headache. The final line of the movie makes me sob too
This movie really put y'all through it. This is one of the most honest reactions I've seen to this movie tho. Thank you for that.❤
Just shows you both have Beautiful souls, very hard one for the both of you to watch, well done for making through to the end, take care, kind regards Chris.
When he puts the necklace around his neck at the end Tom hanks should have said “ He will guide you through the dark John”
Just discovered your channel. That was a great reaction! Subscribing.
Thank you, Brandon from Florida!
I was 7 years old when I watched this in the theater with my daddy and brother. My daddy was a mans man, that night was the first time me and my brother saw our daddy cry. I didn’t realize why until I watched this when I was much older. It’s tough 💯💯💯🤙🏻
Ive seen a lot of reactions to this movie and i have to say you two have the best one ❤ i just wanna give you two the biggest hug. Much love from Australia. Such big hearts you have
This movie destroys me every single time I watch it. I remember seeing it when it first came out, and bawling like a baby. That hasn’t changed.
what a reaction. great job guys
One of those movies that ends up being in your top 10 best films list, but that you'll probably only watch once.
10:48 Now I realize how many movies those two made together. Green Mile, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13 etc.
It's weird as a guy, some of the biggest gut punches come from Stephen King. Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Stand by Me, and the Dark Tower books.
Tom Hanks and John Wayne both like to work with actors they have worked with before. You'll see it in both of their movies
The Green Mile is a masterpiece. Once you’ve seen it, the world seems different somehow…some how better and worse at the same time…which makes watching people react to it so powerful. The raw emotion that you both shared was amazing and beautiful, and is the next best thing to watching it for the first time ourselves. Thank you both for this amazing reaction ❤
One of the things this movie teaches you, in regards to crimes, is that things are not always as they seen when you're looking at them. It appeared that he killed those girls, but we didn't know the full story. That's something we should learn before we accuse people of things.
I cried my eyes out when i saw it at the cinema in 2000. And i cry every time.
This movie breaks me every time. It's a long movie, but it doesn't feel long until you realize how emotionally draining the end is.
