I was privileged to have worked with Frank Darabont on this film…interestingly, he was having real problems casting John Coffey’s role. In fact, less than a month before rolling, ( I was in the car w Frank for almost 2 straight months scouting locations as he was inundated w requests from actors) he still had found no one, until several people from Disney (including Bruce Willis) suggested Michael Clark Duncan for the role based on his ability to cry in “Armageddon”. MCD read twice for the role and Frank cast him with haste. No, MCD didn’t win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Michael Caine for “Cider House Rules”. Such a shame for MCD who would never again have a role like that; he was characteristically good humored and even funny about the loss (I worked w him on several projects after TGM). RIP to a really great soul.

I love the scene where Paul asks John Coffey what he's meant to say when God asks why he killed one of His true miracles, "Because it was my job?" I'm not a religious man, but I do try to be a moral one and whether you're answering to The Almighty or simply to yourself, "Because it was my job," is never a sufficient justification for having done the wrong thing. Paul knows this. John's response is beautifully layered. He tells Paul it's a kindness they're doing in killing him, as John is so very tired from living with and feeling the suffering and sadness of people all over the world. At the same time, however, John is doing these good men who will have to carry out his execution a kindness by ensuring them that he longs for death and them delivering it will end his own suffering. He knew not only what they needed to hear in order to be able to deliver to him that kindness, but also what they needed to hear in order to live with it afterwards. It's a wonderfully written story.

As a guy with spina bifida, I felt every bit of that urine infection part. Watching Tom Hanks lie on the floor with his mouth open, terrified to move. That is exactly how it is. And the issue isn't just confined to the area you think it is. You feel foggy in the head, dizzy, with bad headaches, you feel like you have to go constantly and the pain and burning are excruciating, and you have a fever on top of all of it. If you have spina bifida, it's even worse and you can get it more frequently, and I won't go into details here on why that is. Let's just say people like me don't just go to the bathroom "normally," so that adds to the pain. I take Macrodantin (Nitrofurantoin) as a preventative antibiotic, which helps, but every once in a while it happens anyway, and it's exactly like Tom Hanks is depicting it, only worse - and when you're finally cured, it's the best feeling in the world.

For those who are critical of Paul for putting Percy in charge of Del's execution after Del laughed at Percy peeing his pants: When Paul got Percy to promise to get a different job he already had it in mind to take John to Melinda and wanted Percy transferred to Briar Ridge ASAP. After the execution Hal tells him it will take 30 days to effect the job transfer, but Paul doesn't think Melinda will survive another month. So he comes up with the alternative of locking Percy up. This is really risky because all their jobs will be at risk. That's why he meets with the guys, and why he insisted Dean not be part of it. Dean had little kids and needed his job. This is per the book, which is probably one of the best book to movie scripts, ever. Darabont strictly adheres to the book, almost word for word.

This was not my original thought, but one I saw from a review of this movie. When the woman with the tumor is healed, she said that she and John Coffey "found each other in the dark." This implies that John had to go into the darkness to find and heal. John was so afraid of the dark that he didn't want the hood over his head during his execution, but was still willing to go into "the dark" to find and help someone. True bravery and compassion.

I always wonder what happened to her afterwards. Since John always seems to give a piece of himself to everyone he heals (I know with Paul it was also for him to see what actually happened to the two girls, but that wasn't the case with Mr Jingles and he STILL lives too!) she might have lived a longer life than usual too. Maybe it would have been a healing experience for both of them to reconnect as they were both there to witness the miracles of John firsthand, something difficult to explain to outsiders.

The Green Mile truly a masterpiece I'm very glad you checked the movie out. The entire cast and the script was phenomenal in this movie. I just wish that Michael Duncan got that Oscar for best supporting actor.

It’s worth noting in the original story that Gary Sinise’s character was a journalist rather than a lawyer. James Cromwell is great in this movie as well.

This movie is life changing. The stunned silence from the two of you during Edward's execution, it brought me back to the first time I watched it. And John reminding them during his execution that he's afraid of the dark makes me bawl every time.

The best part of Green Mile reactions is when the movie switches genres on them. 😁 Love it!

Jaby and Steph We have to give thanks to Bruce Willis on suggesting Michael Clarke Duncan for the role of John Coffey. As both of you know that Big Mike was one of Bruce's costars on Armageddon as Bruce's Harry's worker, Bear year before this one. As we know that Big Mike died in 2012, according to his friends and other actors, Big Mike was like his character, John Coffey as a gentle giant. During his funeral, Tom Hanks eulogized Big Mike. I read that an interviewer asked Stephen King, "is John Coffey reference to another JC, Jesus Christ?" King replied, "yes".

With John Coffey being Jesus Christ, I think that would make Paul the Roman soldier Longinus, the one who pierced Jesus's side with the spear and was, supposedly, cursed by God to walk the earth until Jesus returned as his punishment for what he did. You can go further, too, with Delacroix and Bitterbuck. They could be seen as the two sinners that were crucified along side Jesus, with one of them truly repenting his crimes. I absolutely love this movie and how it was built. I love it with or without the biblical inferences. MCD gave the performance of a lifetime and I cannot imagine ANYONE doing, even, a tenth as well. Rest in Peace big man.

This and Shawshank are Top-Tier Stephen King adaptations!!! GREAT Reaction!!!

This film changed me as a kid, it was the first film I ever watched where I understood how tragedy could be so beautiful. It was the first time I was happy I cried. It has always stuck in the back of my mind throughout my years.. The way it was written, directed.. It less feels like a movie and more like you were taken there and you were allowed to see this moment.. This real human moment.. Moments of uncomfortable truth.. Pauses, gaps in the story, the fact that it doesn't end with everyone getting away and living happily. It ended how it would have ended. And in the end were all walking the green mile.. Its okay to sit down and cry for him sometimes.. To cry for the miracle who was taken too soon.

6:23 Graham Greene is a great actor. Years after this movie, he played in my one of my old favorite shows called, "Defiance!" Incredible acting! 🙏🏽💪

This is a magnificent movie, I have seen it over 25 times, and cry at it everytime, anyone who says they didn't or don't cry at it, is lying or they have no heart

Just like Shawshank, and/or Stand By Me, it's amazing that these flics are from the mind of Stephen King

Michael used to train at my gym in Chicago in the 90s. I met him via a gym owner a few times. He was super nice. Rest in peace.

Your reaction is among the 5 best I've seen, and I've seen plenty. Your genuinely humane response was heartwarming, you gave enough time to include all the important stuff, and reacted how I would expect anyone with a soul to react on the first watch (or even the 100th). Nicely done!

idk why I continue watching people react to this movie, I'm always crying even at the reactions smh

this was one of the only films i sat and watched in the theater and never got up to pee. i was that wrapt up in the story

This is a perfect movie for me. The story, the unbelievable great acting, the whole movie is amazing. It's so painful to watch but worth it.

In the book there’s a Nurse in the old home during present scenes who acts exactly like Percy.

I saw this in the theaters. Trust me, you're not the only one crying! You could see and hear the tears flowing around you! And Del's execution made a few people visually sick. The big screen made an impact on that scene. It was definitely a movie that tug at the emotions.

Paul said that if Mr. Jingles - a mouse, lived as long as he did, how much longer will he live. Well, it always gets me thinking about how long John himself wandered the earth, before being able to go Home.

Now I strongly recommend you read the book or listen to the wonderful audiobook if you prefer (Frank Muller does an exceptionally good job reading it). It will fill in the gaps of things that didn’t make it to the film (like why John wasn’t killed on the spot) and give more depth to characters like Jan and Ellie.

Superb film. Note: First, you were surprised that Hanks' character wasn't doing more for Duncan's character.....It was the 30s. It was the South. Those two facts should explain most everything. I grew up in the South and my parents grew up in the South in the 30s. I'm not saying it was right, just saying that most people wouldn't even have done what Hank's character did. Second: The people at the executions were not there for "entertainment". At this point in history, it wasn't a public event. Those people were the inmates' victims' family/survivors that were given the chance to come see them die in order to have some closure. Others in attendance would have been prison officials, maybe govt officials, and perhaps a journalist or two. None of it is pretty, but all of it was quite common at that time.

Sadly Michael Clarke Duncan did NOT win the Oscar for this role. He was nominated tho He did win a few other ones: 1) Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA, Best Supporting Actor - The Green Mile 2) Critics Choice Awards, Best Supporting Actor - The Green Mile But as for the actual Academy Awards, he only received a nomination (which is still cool but he deserved the win tbh) Kevin Spacey won that year for American Beauty in "Best Actor in a Leading Role" Michael Caine won that year for The Cider House Rules in "Best Actor in a Supporting Role"

John Coffey sensed trouble when Wild Bill arrived on the cell block. He didn't see Will Bill from his end of the green mile, but he knew something was about to happen. John Coffey whispered, "Careful...careful."

@7:00 It's not "entertainment", it's watching justice be served for your loved one who was killed. To make sure you see it for yourself. You ought to give the state more credit than offering up tickets for the fun of it.

I saw THE GREEN MILE in theater and it was packed. an entire room full of people openly expressing every emotion as every scene rolled onscreen. This was special. Unfortunately the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan though nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award in 2000, the Oscar went to another Michael -- Michael Caine for the film Cider House Rules. I remember watching that evening. I was crushed; no offense to Mr. Caine... but still! IJS. The memorable moment where an actor wanted to give his award to the legendary actor, Jack Lemmon, happened not at the Oscars. It occurred at the 1998 Golden Globes. Actor Ving Rhames earned the Best Actor award for his role in "DON KING...". The whole audience, and i too, was moved by Ving's heartfelt gesture to an actor he'd admired, personally & professionally, for years. Great reaction, guys! Keep up the earnest and excellent work!

21:30, Remember this is taking place in 1935. If the authorities and judicial system had been alerted about John's healing abilities, they would have most likely accused him of receiving his abilities from the devil😅

Think of the abuse that John Coffey saved Briar Ridge's patients when he punished Percy and William(Billy).

3:51 "You're saying they wouldn't murder him right there?" Aha, very nice. Good spot. In the book the sheriff is thinking the same, and confiscates the father's ammo before they get to the crime scene.

Celluloid is the best vessel to convey light back to our human eyes even if you later end up seeing it on digital TVor digital cinema hall ilbut that principale capture is important.

The best Stephen King adapted movie ever

"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent person suffer.” Known as Blackstone’s Ratio, expressed by the English jurist William Blackstone in the 1760’s, this idea of protecting and safeguarding an innocent person, even at the expense of many guilty people going free, is a concept rooted deep within many legal systems. Other legal commentators have used numbers other than “ten”, in terms of how many guilty people should go free to safeguard one innocent person. Benjamin Franklin referred to “one hundred persons”, and the Jewish legal theorist Moses Maimonides wrote in the 1100’s, “it is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons that to put a single innocent one to death.

Frank Darabont was the director, who also directed the Shawshank Redemption. The older guard in this movie was also in season one of the Walking Dead, produced by Frank Darabont.
