The Green Mile | First Time Watching | REACTION - LiteWeight Reacting
Ойын-сауық
The Green Mile, a fantasy drama directed by Frank Darabont based on a Stephen King novel, is a heart wrenching film about a death row inmate with supernatural abilities and his impact on the guards and prisoners around him. In this video I watch The Green Mile for the first time and give my reactions and... emotional opinions of it!

Michael Clarke Duncan was ROBBED of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Michael Caine was good in Cider House Rules, but Michael Clarke Duncan SHATTERED hearts and souls with his performance.

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.

My theory is that he was afraid of the dark because that’s where he goes in his mind when he’s feeling other people’s pain or healing them. The clue is that when he heals Miranda, she says that she dreamt they were both wandering in the dark, and found each other.

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.
Stephen King discovered pretty early in his writing career, that the most scary things he might bring to paper, are not the monsters, he can come up with - but just ordinary humans. And the things they do to each other. They don't call him "The King of Horror" for nothing.

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.

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.
And what a talent in Mr. Duncan. It was buetifull how he made this giant imposing mountain of a man so wonderfully innocent and endearing. This role deserved every award out there. Really miss this great talented man.
Never be ashamed to show your feelings. This reaction was one of the most honest I have seen in a long time.

A mouse's lifespan is approx. 2 years, so 32 lifespans for him and he is still going. Paul is just 108, so he has a long ways to go since the average lifespan for a human is 65 or so. 2080 (65 x 32 lifespans) years at least left + more. It's terrifying and a really heartbreaking ending.

There are times in life when annoying sniffling is right and proper. The Green Mile is several of those times.
You know that the actor is doing an amazing job when they actually make you hate them. Also, a lady who likes little cuddly mice? Schweet. But she looks married given the ring. haha For anyone wondering, at 31:47 he is saying to the mouse, "Goodbye, my friend. I love you, my little one."
Michael Jeter was fantastic in this movie. You felt his despair and anguish. When he yells "no" it cuts right through to your soul. And Doug Huchison really did an unbelievable job at making you hate him. Top to bottom, this cast was fantastic.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was around 11 maybe 12 years old at the time, sat down and watched this movie for the first time back in 2007, parents asleep upstairs around 10pm. Im not the type to cry even as a child, when i sat and watched this alone, it changed me inside, i cried harder then i had in years and to this day, its still the hardest hitting movie ive ever watched all these years later. You're reaction mirrored mine in many ways, you'll remember this movie for years even decades to come, its just that much of a classic.
Michael Duncan had one of the strongest performances that I've seen in any movie with The Green Mile. RIP... He was taken away far too early.

This is one of the best movies of all time. I've seen it so much, scores of times including "reactions" like this. I'm always mildly surprised that so many watching it, even for the first time, do not make the connection of Stephen King's book from which this came. King's works always have a element of fantasy-horror. Carrie. Salem's Lot. The Stand. It. Your reaction was spot on.
Well done for actually getting through one of the most incredible tear jerking stories ever put to film.
Great reaction! You're one of the few reactors, perhaps the only one, who has ever gotten the "J. C." clue.
I always felt sad for Paul because he had to watch everyone he’d known and love die, even Elaine for that matter. I wouldn’t want that kind of torment my own self and for no one else either. Great reaction as always!
Have no regrets. Any movie that can be so moving that it makes you touch on feelings you'd rather not feel is a good thing. We all need to experience such strong emotions and feelings. 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. I may have watched maybe 30 reactions to this movie and yours is one of the best. Great reaction my friend, you did well. Don't be fearful to feel.

Hey girl, sending you a hug all the way from germany. You've chosen one hell of a movie. One of my favorites. Still, the one favorite I rarely watch. Because this is some heavy. heavy stuff. 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.

@LiteWeightReacting you'll find yourself wanting to watch it again, it might just be a little while. I think that the movie makes a good test for finding out what kind of person someone is. If someone can watch it and not become engrossed, and very moved emotionally, it speaks volumes about that person's ability to be empathetic, in my opinion.
The ending "if mr jiggles lives until how I long will I have left" meant that the mouse probably lived about 20x longer as he should. So if you multiply a humans lifespan like that it is gonna be way longer. Also beautiful reaction. Havent seen that film in a long time and cried for pretty much an hour straight. : (
Damn what an amazing heartfelt reaction. I've seen this film around a dozen times and about the same amount of various reactors reacting to it but never have I had a reactor break me as much as you did, I felt your sadness so much it just made me want to hug you. This is the 2nd reaction I've watched by you and all I can say is you've got one grateful subscriber and can't wait to look through your other reactions and see what else you bring out.
Frank Darabont, man! I am SO disappointed that this guy isn't directing movies anymore. I mean, his first 2 flicks are undebateable all-time classics, and then he made another great film in my opinion with The Mist, and The Majestic is oretty good too. WHY walk away after that streak?
You showed an amazing level of empathy for the characters while reacting to this film. Your reaction to the movie was a pleasure to watch.
I respond more readily to soundtrack and the dialog. When Coffey said he was tired of being alone, without a buddy to tell him where they'd be going and being "as lonely as a Sparrow in the rain", my heart sank inside me for John. Stephan King is amazing.
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. And btw you should react to Schindler's List it will break your soul and its another you must watch movie.

As a 'tough' grown man, I can say this film has me in absolute tears every single time I see it! Soon as we saw you tearing up just 5 minutes in, I knew this would hit you like a ton of proverbial bricks! - it just tugs SO hard on the heart strings, & that's before the supernatural element even kicks in. I think this movie, the cast - & Michael Clarke Duncan especially - deserve all the praise in the world: in my humble opinion this is nigh on the perfect movie. Shout out too to Doug Hutchison playing Percy: you can't hate & revile a character so much if the actor isn't making your skin crawl with a great performance! Great reaction to a great film! 😊❤
Interestingly enough, in the book, "Mr Jingles" was first seen on the mile before Del got there IIRC. The guards called him "Steamboat Willie". Steamboat Willie was the first version of Mickey Mouse in the 1928 animated film "Steamboat Willie". Later, Del changed his name to "Mr. Jingles".
I've seen this dozens of times but it never fails to bring me to tears. Love your reaction, as painful as it clearly was for you. You have a good heart and a pure soul.

You seem to zero in on the sometimes subtle emotional and moral points of each film you view. That's my bread & butter for watching reactions. You nail it.
My dad read the books many years before the movie was made. My dad doesn't really cry, but I saw him coming out of my parents bed room really ugly crying blowing his nose and telling me and mom, This book is so sad, and we where like, why are you reading it then? "- it is so good" was his simple reply as he went back, this repeated itselfs a few times that day. at the end of 2022 I started talking about this movie, and he told me. No, lets not, it is still to soon for me. As others have stated, if you don't feel like an emotional wreck from this movie I am not sure you are a person at all! Ty for letting us all experience this movie like it was for the first time again and cry along with you.
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

Thank you!! I appreciate your support!! Let me know if you have any other recommendations!
An average mouse lives up to 2 years, and Mr.Jiggles has survived over 5 decades that was the reference Paul meant a mouse exceeding over 25 times it's expected lifespan when you convert that theory to say 60 years average for a man, then Paul could possibly live up to 1,500 years before he nears his own for longing Greenmile.

I never even thought of the math of it all - oof... thanks for this comment!
Definitely the best reaction I've seen yet. You picked up on things no one else did. Thank you darlin
You can tell a lot about a person from watching a movie with them. You're f***ing amazing!
So glad you watched this so soon after Shawshank. Good job you had the tissues at the ready too! This is the film that introduced me to Thomas Newman's music and I've been a fan ever since. Keep up the great content. Looking forward to your next reaction. All the best from Liverpool, UK.

Hey Omari! Hope you enjoy the video!!
So loved you're reaction, emotion was raw, priceless
The entire point of a whole lot of King's horror is that a literal HORROR MONSTER ITSELF is no more evil than anything humanity has to offer, and in some cases even LESS so.
"You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done." Best line in the movie.

I've watched this movie many times, watching everyones reaction! I cryed every time! Your reaction hit me the hardest! Love you!
43:22 “I’m not ok.” Don’t worry sweetie, you’re in good company. None of us were ok either. 48:13 JC saying “I’m sorry for what I am” is a very poignant line because if you go back everyone else said “I’m sorry for what I did.” A beautiful and deliberate choice by the writers of this astonishingly moving film.
Oh no....saw the title and knew this poor young lady was going to be crushed, She was despondent over Brooks in Shawshank...she's going to be a mess after this. Shawshank is the far superior film, but Green Mile is *FAR* sadder and more cynical. Shawshank lifts you up, Green Mile crushes you.

One of the purest and best reactions ive seen for this movie. It is impossible to not cry watching this movie, but when you already cried in the beginning when he mentioned that he dont likes the dark, i knew you gonna be devistated at the end when he mention it again. That was really clever of them, cuz in the beginning it is even funny a little bit that such a big guy is afraid of the dark and at the end you gonna cry your eyes out for that.
In the book, Del knew a girl that had spurned his romantic advances so he tried to scare her by setting fire to her apartment house. 13 people died in the blaze. He was guilty of doing something stupid rather than evil. He was an OK guy for the most part. Wet sponge or no, this is not a humane way to execute a person by any stretch of the imagination. Del did not deserve that.

Not quite right. He raped and killed a young girl then to cover it up he tried to burn the body which caught an apartment building on fire killing 6 others including 2 children. Bitterbuck killed a man in a bar fight over a pair of boots

I remember it differently....Didn't he rape and murder a young girl before starting a fire, (to cover up the crime) which accidentally caused the deaths of six more people (including 2 kids). I read it 25+ years ago, so I may be wrong....

As great as this movie was, and still is, I most admire your reaction, and by the way, your beauty distracted me at times during your reaction, you are truly one awesome movie reactor. Hello from Brisbane, Australia
Magnificent reaction. Another of the reactions where you simply let your most human part flow. Even though it was a difficult reaction, it was very pleasant to be able to watch you. It was a reaction that shows how much it is worth subscribing to your channel.
Oh my gosh!! I just stumbled across this reaction and I must say it is one of the most honest, heartfelt reactions I have seen. Bless you.
“Piss on me?” Probably my favorite line/part. As heartbreaking as this movie is, they did sprinkle in the comedy perfectly and I think Stephen King knew people needed that break in this story. Out of the reactors who have watched this movie, I probably experienced ALL the emotions I normally would watching this movie by just watching you. I cried when I watched you realize he didn’t do what he was accused of. It was just very genuine. While I understand you not wanting to watch this again, I will say I think after some time you might change your mind. This is such a great movie and I shared the same opinion when I saw it as a child. However, after some time I would think about a funny part or something that made me laugh and I would have to watch the movie again. Amazing reaction though, thank you for sharing.
Only one tv creates family time together. No one alone with their cell phones. I am so glad I was born in the 50's. Great time to be alive.
In the book(s) he keeps Mister Jingles off in the empty shed because there's an orderly working his facility that's basically EXACTLY another Percy, and he knows the guy is slowly working himself up to finally try to kill him-- he doesn't want the guy to hurt the mouse, so he keeps it far away.
This woman is very smart and real. This is one of the hardest movies to react to
I watched a couple of reaction of this girl, like "the shawshank redemption" and this one. She seems so sweet and empathic, God bless her soul. I hope she get the best in this life, she lives 120 years, and then she get the best on the afterlife too. She's so precious.
"On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job?" This line will stick with me for as long as I live. I'm not even religious.
