That is very true King wrote alot of my favorite novels of all time...then he also wrote some of the stupidest garbage ever published too...like Maximum Overdrive, Christine, DreamCatcher, Desperation, and even though it's not exactly bad but I don't like it The Dark Tower series..I've tried delving into that and like I say it's bot exactly bad but it tries too hard and fails imo to establish a solid world based on its own high and low magic system and own languages. Like he tries to go Tolkien with it in a way...and even though its loved by many to me it just doesn't work...in the way that I need to become engrossed in a world But then you have Green Mile, Shawshank, The Shining, It, the Stand, Stand by Me, Salems Lot, Pet Semetary etc etc...I guess when you do copious amounts of cocaine and crank out books and short stories like singles raining on a strippers arse your bound to have a few jewels among all the turds

In the movie when John asked if they leave the light on and Hanks replied yes John extended his hand he showed that he trusted him to keep his word as a man it was a show of respect. And then at the end, I don’t know if you noticed, but the last thing before, Hanks told them to “roll on 2 “ He went and shook Johns hand as a final show of respect to John. I have never heard a reactor to put the two handshakes together. It was the number one thing that stood out in the movie to me, but I’ve never heard anybody else say anything about it.

I read "The Green Mile" in 96 when King released it in several small paperback novels with only a couple of chapters each. It was a profound read. The movie release in 99 was one of the best pieces of cinema I have ever seen and still is. And almost 30 years later I still tear up and cry **every** time I see it or watch one of these reactions. ---- For a bit of info Paul's last lines of _“If he could make a mouse live so long, how much longer do I have?”_ a mouse on average lives 2-3 years ... Mr. Jingles at the time of Paul in the retirement home and talking to Eliane was 64 years old. Paul himself was 44 in 1935 ... so one would have to wonder how long then does Paul still have.

"..the handshake" is symbolic because there's an introduction between John and Paul, and then there's an empathic goodbye handshake. From the beginning when John first touched him, he instantly knew that Paul was a good man. There's a similar movie but with a different context...you should check it out; it's called Frailty...starring Bill Paxton and Matthew McConaughey.

I always wondered why John didnt help the attorney's son with his missing eye, possibly helping to prove his innocence - but then I realized that John said he didnt want to keep living in the world because of all the pain.

This is the first time I took note of "cold is better" like, "sometimes dead is better." King may well need therapy. Lol

@@bobbierocksbuster5584 I honestly wish what you said was true. But I had to pull the plug on my wife 7/29/23. From a cardiac arrest on 7/23/23. I was 9.5 years younger than her but she was a legit 9. Watching her take her last breaths…..

For some context, the average lifespan of a common fieldmouse(which is most likely Mr. Jingles species) is around 1 year in the wild(due to predation), and 3 years in captivity. Assume we take the 3 year number. The average lifespan of a human Male in 1935 is reported to be 59.9 years, which we will round to 60 years. At the time Older Paul told Elaine about Mr. Jingles, 64 years had passed. (He was 108 now and 44 at the time.) Now, if we divide 64 by the 3 years a mouse in captivity can live, the math tells us that Mr. Jingles lived 21.3 lifetimes longer than the average mouse at least. Now if we take that number and apply it to Paul, it comes to 1,260 human years he could expect to live. And he's only on 108. Of course, it's entirely possible that the number of years was a set number rather than a proportional percentage. Still, it's a terrifying thought.

One of my all-time favorite movies. I've probably seen it 20 times at this point and it still kills me every time.

I never cried so much at the end of the movie. Michael Duncan Clark was a security guard at a movie studio and became friends with Bruce Willis. He was the one who got him the audition for the movie and told Michael not to embarrass him and he didn’t because as we can see, he got the role. Not only did he get the role, he was nominated for an Oscar. Unfortunately, Mr. Clark passed away at the age of 54. I think it was a heart attack. He was such a great talent he also starred in two movies with Bruce Willis before he passed away. Armageddon and I can’t remember the name of the other movie. 🎥 Not only did he do Bruce Willis, proud he did his mother proud because Mr. Clark brought his mother to the Oscars when he was nominated. He was a big man in statue, but in his interviews, he was very sweet and humble. this movie will always be one of the greatest movies ever made❤ Sleep Peacefully Mr. Clark 🙏🏽🎥💪🏽💐

I’m thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to watch this exceptional film. Enjoyed your heartfelt response.

Great reaction, thanks. Mr. Jingles lived (at the point the movie ended on) about 32 times longer than average. If you apply the same amount to Paul, he could live 2200 years or more. Imagine carrying this with you all that time, it's heartbreaking.

My favorite moment in every Green Mile reaction is that first WTF when John reveals his power.

Every single reactor I have seen has cried at this one...some more than others, and this one is up there. But the performance of Doug Hutchison is one of the best screen villains of all time, everyone hates Percy. But the saddest part is the loss of Michael Duncan Clark, what a loss, gone way too soon.

A lovely reaction, Liala. 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! One additional point to keep in mind. I saw another commenter (Poor Finian) mention in a different reaction that a urinary tract infection had no cure in the 1930s, so even going to the doctor probably wouldn't help much. The first antibiotic, penicillin, was only discovered in 1928 and wasn't used on a patient in the U.S. until 1942. Since you have already seen and reacted to The Shawshank Redemption, I have another top quality film for you to add to your reaction list: "Arrival" (Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker). It is amazing and in my Top 5.

There is a lesson in this movie, I only wish that more people would take it to heart. John explained it when he said "it's like this all over the world". We need to be kinder to one another, look for moments when we could have been cruel but instead be understanding and kind.

Imagine if John Cofee went into the sewers of Dairy to face off against Pennywise? The ultimate good vs the ultimate evil.

What most people watching this movie don't realize is that in the 30's the only antibiotics available were sulfa drugs. Most bacteria were resistant to them and many people developed intolerable allergies to these medications. So even if Tom Hanks' character had gone to the doctor, not much could have been done for him. John Coffey was Paul Edgecomb's only hope of healing.

There's a part in the book, I'm not sure if it was ever considered to be figured into the film, but I wish it had despite the fact it would add a rather chilling moment. When they're taking John to see Melinda, they walk by the room with Ol' Sparky in it, as they're still airing it out from Del's execution. John stops in front of the room, slowly turns towards it, and for a moment they can't get him to move. He then says "Del's still in there, I can hear him screaming."

If you think about it, the concept, the idea of it is rather simple yet its written and acted in some a wonderful way. You feel you get to know quite a bit about each character by not really saying all that much about them at all, by no mean an easy task for a writer. Plus of course you create such a connection with each character, something so many movies today fail to achieve. As an artist myself, I have a great respect and appreciation for the artist ' Drew Struzan ' who painted the poster and cover artwork for this and a great many Spielberg movies. A great reaction. Have a fantastic day, take care!

I was one of the lucky ones to be able to read Stephen King's The Green Mile when it was originally published as a serial novel from March to August 1996. Doug Hutchison (Percy) and Sam Rockwell (Wild Bill) turned in 2 of the most underrated performances for this movie.

This of course takes place in the Stephen King Multiverse where some people have the Shining. They are usually psychics and/or mediums who can also manifest other powers the stronger they get. John Coffey is one of the strongest Shiners; psychic, long life, healing, and can resurrect the briefly dead. 🤯 The Shining and it's sequel Doctor Sleep really build up the lore around the shine. The Directors Cut of Doctor Sleep is a Masterpeice and a must. Most of King's protagonists, and some villains, shine to some extent or another whether they know it or not. You can see some other actively powerful Shiners in Carrie, Firestarter, Dreamcatcher, The Dead Zone, The Dark Tower, The Stand, Hearts in Atlantis, Needful Things, and the HBO series The Outsider. Some more passive shiners are in Gerald's Game, IT, Pet Sematary, and The Tommyknockers.

They zoomed into the handshake to represent the size difference between him and Paul. There was really nothing that doctors could do about urinary infections back in the time period this movie is set in. About the only thing they could do was to give them sulpha-tablets which would irritate your stomach and make you sick on top of the UTI. The book does have a lot more information that wasn't really necessary for the movie, and it also delves into what awful crimes the prisoners committed to be on death row, but I believe it was a conscious decision of the screen writer(s) and the director NOT to include that so it would give more empathy towards them when it was their time to sit in 'old sparky'.

I read the books (it was actually released as a series of short books, over a period of time), a while after I saw the movie. The cast was absolute perfection, especially Brutus "Brutal" Howell, and John Coffey. People are often shocked to find out that this was written by Stephen King. He's obviously best known for his horror stories, but he's also written some great supernatural stories as well.

Your reaction was so wonderful. You asked about the need for a mouse, what is John"s backstory, why did he have issues with peeing, ..... and ALL of your questions got answered with some tears all of the way. Three hours is not that long on an amazing movie. I enjoyed your reaction and your tears. (go get some tissue)

Great Reaction, Great Movie. Top 5 for my lifetime. Thx, your beautiful on the inside as well the outside. ❤
