Another incredible movie by Frank Darabont based on a Stephen King novel! Did Paul deserve the gift/curse of life!?

Thank you all for the support!

This movie always gets me into tears. Michael Clarke Duncan was an amazing actor. RIP

"I'm sorry for what I am."

Gets me every single time.

I cry everytime I watch this movie. Even sadder knowing Michael Is no longer with us.

I’ve heard that John’s execution scene didn’t include Barry Pepper’s character crying, but he was moved by the story and was so in the moment that he broke down. Such a powerful scene

In Green Mile. John Coffey was just tired of absorbing all the suffering in the world and wanted to end his time on this earth. He passed on a bit of himself to Tom Hanks. It's a gift and a curse. Such an amazing movie. Such deep concepts, ideas, moral conundrums. Some of the best writing expressed in Literature. Stephen King is a master level storyteller.

This movie did receive one BIG award, actual real-life recognition: Stephen King himself said, that among all the many adaptations of his books, THIS is the BEST ONE :face-red-heart-shape:

Shawshank and Green Mile are two movies that gave me true respect for Stephen King as an author, it's one thing to write books in your comfort zone, but this showed how truly great he actually was at creating stories.

Neat fact Del saying the lords prayer in Cajun French was adlibed by his actor. Duncan had to stop lifting weights so he looked like a man from the 1930's and how he cried was by him remebrimg how his father left his family and Sam Rockwell hated the fact that he had to threaten the little girls because he became good freinds with them.

37:48 As horrifying as that scene was, I loved that Paul forced Percy to witness what he did.

To this day I consider the execution of Edouard Delacroix to be the most distubing scene in any film I've ever seen.

@GuilhermeSouza1984 5 years ago

This movie is just pure perfection. It is just impossible not to cry.

@smootsprint4722 5 years ago

The Green Mile is one of the biggest emotional rollercoaster movies I have ever seen. Shawshank is similar but has the happy ending, but Green Mile makes you just ponder about so many things. I was sad that John Coffee died, but I was also relieved for him and the torture he endures

Another great reaction. This is a really good film. Frank Darabont doesn't get enough credit when we talk about great directors.

@michaelplowman8674 5 years ago

The fact that no one in that movie was nominated for any Oscar is a travesty. The acting in this movie so beyond top notch.

@erikjohnson3859 5 years ago (edited)

This is Duncan's best role in my opinion.
Fun Fact: As others have stated in a couple other movies I believe, Bruce Willis got Michael his first acting job after he worked as his bodyguard. They were good friends and worked on several projects together, including Armageddon, The Whole Nine /Ten Yards movies, Sin City and Breakfast of Champions.
Bruce has some questionable beliefs, but generally he seems good-hearted and he definitely took care of Duncan.

There are a small number of movies in this world that have the capacity to make me cry. And this is one of them. Hurts even more knowing that Michael Clarke Duncan is no longer with us.

@jimtatro6550 5 years ago

Ok, now you have seen Shawshank and Green Mile, now watch The Mist, the third King/Darabont collaboration. Terrifying movie with one of the most emotional endings ever.
