+Lilywolf 7102 no what makes this even sadder is why he actually died. he died because he had a heart that was too small for his body and and it couldn't pump enough blood to that massive body that he had now that is sad :,(
-"Is afraid of the Dark" (Don't cry) -"I'm tired, I'm in heaven" (Don't Cry) -can't give the order (Don't cry) -Gives John his hand (Don't Cry) -Roll on Two (About to Cry) -Guards Start crying more along with Paul (Burst in tears)
I think the saddest part is the fact that the actor who played John Coffey actually died in real life due to heart complications. Such a talented man with so much life left to live killed too young.
Unfortunately, heart problems aren't unusual for very large or very tall people. You have to figure, the heart has to work a lot harder to pump the blood around a body that size.
The fact that Dean has tears pouring down his face,Harry cant bear to look,Brutus is trying so hard to keep it together and Paul cant bring himself to say "roll on two" is heart wrenching enough but John not wanting to have his face covered because he's afraid of the dark makes this one of the most excruciatingly saddest movie scenes in cinematic history.Great film and a great actor was taken from us far far too soon.R.I.P Mr Michael Clarke Duncan.
Daenerys Targaryen John Coffey is reminds me of Jesus Christ who is wrongly accused.. sometimes people are very judge mental on others they sees the color of the skin not the inner being of a person.. why do we live in a world that there is people like this why???😔😔😔
+Radionatix your right about that. its the combination of these two great actors that give us one of the saddest scenes in cinematic history. at least that's my opinion. no other movie has made me cry as much as this scene.
태선우TaeSunWoo I know somebody had to been asking “Why are these dudes crying over a supposed “child killer”?? And when Paul shook John’s hand one last time, no executioner has ever shaken the condemned hand before. That should have brought out questions.
But the thing was they were blinded by their hate. They never once stopped and thought he was innocent. They saw a big black guy with the two white girl's bodies and assumed he killed them. Thats how it was back then. Kill now and ask questions later. Sadly this is how it is in America. We don't take the time to love people and we are blinded by hate.
@@jpend4677 Don’t act like you wouldn’t think the exact same thing if you saw a man holding the bodies of two dead girls saying, “I couldn’t help it. I tried to take it back, but it was too late.” I’m black and I’d think he did it. It’d be messed up if they saw a white man running away from where the bodies were but saw a black man walking nearby and immediately assumed the black guy did it. Occam’s razor tells you that the most obvious answer is often the right one even if you’re unknowingly dealing with a magical black man who is a gentle giant.
When he says “I’m sorry for what I am” it’s almost as if he’s apologizing to the officers for them having to witness innocence being executed. Almost like even in his own death, he feels sorry for the officers who have to do it. A testament to how selfless and kind he was.
Seeing all of the guards so heartbroken in this scene just makes it even sadder; Coffey was more than someone who was wrongfully accused to them, he was a symbol of innocence and, in some cases, a friend. Knowing that they had to kill him, despite all that they know and feel, must have been devastating.
Everything in this seen makes it a perfect tear jerker. The "I'm sorry for what I am" quote, the crying guards, the background music, the way Tom Hanks voice breaks, and the "he kill them with their love quote".
ph3rtehHDawg Yeah Barry Peppers lost it the worst, Tom started to cry, after he flicked the switch David Morse started to tear up. The older guy held up pretty good. It seemed the guy that flicked the switch was sad too.
I cried in 2/3, and it's the only two movies I've ever cried to.. And I've never even seen Terminator 2, so now I'll probably cry during that one too..
The two saddest things about this scene for me is that A, John was just an innocent man who only ever tried to help people and was condemned for it, and B, that the girls parents will never know that they are forever going to blame an innocent man for the crime. Even though this movie can't realistically happen, I feel like a good amount of people who have seen this film have likely ended up questioning their stance on the death penalty.
One of the most frightening things to imagine is the emotional state of innocent people on a death row. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to die for a crime they didn't commit. What it would be like to be in your cell every day just waiting for the date to come.
nah the green mile just like the trial of George Stinny Jr who was blamed for the murder of two white girls amd was the youngest kid ever to get executed ((also he was black and all he did was find the bodies and tell the police))
They should but they won’t. People are quick, just like in this movie, to jump to conclusions without reasonable proof. Someone is guilty until proven innocent in most people’s eyes and that’s just the sad truth. Innocent people die all the time.
@@lexiiiplexyyy it feels more like Joe Arridy's case, man with an IQ of 43, saved his last meal for after his execution, didn't even understood he was going to die, he was smiling when he was executed
@@maximodubs4189 nah if you watch the movie yeah he was ignorant but he was mainly accused bc he was a big, black man, him being not as bright just added to the fact that their killing a innocent man
I always start bawling when John starts mumbling "I'm in Heaven" to himself. The poor man. The acting in this movie is amazing. It really tugs at the heart strings.
My parents used to watch this movie over and over when I was a child and they would always tell me to go to my room when this scene comes.. now as I'm old enough I know why they told me so. It's incredibly sad
+B × N J A M I N I think it's more or less a reference to the darkness of things such as sin. The movie has been mostly outright interpreted as a modern retelling of Jesus Christ, or at the very least him sacrificing himself. Keep in mind this is a Stephen King movie, and book, virtually of his work is interpretive. This movie was downright poetic in my honest opinion.
+Joe Parsons My first response was him saying it the first time. The second time he is referring that's how you stop hate. You kill them with love. So much truth in this statement.
+Ian Reid killed Jesus a second time, they is the masses that attend churches, mosques and temple for cohesion so they can't stand divine humans on earth. They break their little world made of law, certainty and structures.
I tried my hardest but when John started singing "I"m in heaven", I had to take a good 10-15 minutes wiping my eyes and blowing my nose with tissues. Good God that gets me every single time.
The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan didn´t won an Oscar for this performance is extremely unfair I always cry with this scene Always since the first time
TheRealBitterbub Hate to admit it but the only time I cried watching a movie was the opening to it's a wonderful life I cried because I knew if I was in that situation I wouldn't have any friends to bale me out
When John Coffey said “don’t put that thing over my face. Don’t put me in the dark... I’s afraid of the dark!” I wanted to give him a hug. Just broke my heart😭💔
I don't remember the details but didn't the parents think he raped their two daughters. I know he didn't, but the parents still thought so. I can see their pain too.
The mouse and Paul both live on and on because of what John Coffey did to them. Make you wonder... How old was John? It doesn't say in the movie. But 3 very interesting things: When in the house with Belinda, she says "You have so many scars. Where did you get them?" He says he can't remember. Also, he seems to be quite uneducated. Lastly, he always refers to all the white men as "Boss". I think the unmentioned implication here, is that he actually used to be a slave many many years ago and has lived all this time.
Actually no. Boss is a later term. All workers used to use the term master or mister or the occupation. Baker Johnson or Master Johnson. A slave would say "Massa Johnson".
John George ofc as an spectator, you put yourself in the guard's shoes, that's what makes this scene so powerfull, having seen the way Jhon helped them and others, even tiny details like ressurrecting the mouse, and most important, knowing he's inocent, yet having to kill him would be devastating...
same!!!! like ive nvr cried this much because of a movie....and i cried throughout the whole movie from the very beginning...wen that old man was crying to jhon holding the dead girla to the very end....i dont even no why i cried throughout the qhole thing cuz not all of it was tearworthy but i xouldnt help it
+Edvard Bolaas Yes Sad But to me, Not as sad as the final scene where Old Paul having lost most if not all his friends and relatives a long time ago and he and Mr. Jingles are all alone in the world.
+Edvard Bolaas This was probably the most saddest scene I have ever seen in a movie and it always gets me. Knowing that an Innocent Life was taken by the cruelty of Man.
I'm sorry but this was not a good movie IMO. I just don't like sad films. I won't watch them. Also the movie is way too long for it's own good. Give me a lighthearted comedy over this ANYTIME
John Coffey and Jesus Christ. Two men, both falsely accused. Loved by those who knew them, hated by those who didn't. Suffered tragic and heartbreaking deaths.
All John wanted is to make the life he had precious and the people around him feel joy and to have some fucking accusation against this man who could make the world a better place was wrongfully killed
Him saying, "I'm sorry for what I am." Broke my fucking heart into many pieces. As well as when he's afraid to enter the room because he can feel everyone's hate for him..
Mike House There ARE people who don't cry at all and they can't help it, and NO, not all of these people should be considered as bad or mean, or something. I cried the early times I saw this, but honestly, lately, I less feel like crying. So... What's the first thing that goes to your mind? Right now! Do you completely hate me now? Look, I'm not mad. I don't want to yell at you. I just hope your not just saying these stuff because you want to act like you were BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. (like the majority of youtube users do)
Mike House You're doing a great job there, sir. My patience has reached its end. You CZcams users are all the same. I tried to be nice to you, like i'm trying my best to be nice to everybody, but, nooo... Nothing positive ever comes out from anybody. There's absolutely nothing I can possibly say to people on the internet, no matter how kind, nice, honest and reasonable i'm being
Did you not watcb the movie lol of course they were the only ones because they know he's genuinely a sweet innocent man. Tom Hanks' character was so saddened knowing he'd have to give the order to execute John that he offered to allow john to escape.
I haven't cried for years because that's not what a 19 year old guy does right... I just finished this movie for the first time but I got to admit I shed a few tears at the end.
"I'm sorry for what I am" ..."don't put me in the dark, boss. please. I's afraid of the dark." ...."Heaven, Heaven, I'm in heaven, Heaven, I'm in heaven" I've seen this movie multiple times and this scene still destroys me.
I agree completely. The buildup to it is almost as painful as the execution itself. The guards really did love him and tried to make it as painless and easy for him (and themselves) as possible. I can't believe the warden allowed Cofi to be executed after seeing what he did for his wife, but that's the world we live in. We fear and hate what we don't understand. Michael Clarke Duncan will live on forever though this role, and he was beautiful in it.
This movie tears me up.... Every time I watch it... We miss you so much Michael Clarke Duncan! Great actors abound in this movie and it runs the gambit of emotions for sure!
This scene was absolutely heart rending. I mean I can't imagine anyone being able to watch this scene without crying. "What am I supposed to tell God when I killed one of his miracles?" "You tells him you were just doing your job"
This movie you only see once because you're too afraid to watch another time. Why?! Because you'll cry your heart out. I watched this part maybe 100 times. Still I roll my eyes as much as I can to stop myself from crying. The acting in this movie is legendary. You can't top it.
I know everyone's feeling cuz I watched this movie back in 2000 I'm from India and I watched this with my cousin who passed away in 2008 it's so sad cuz he resembled so much like sir Michael Clarke Duncan (my cuz was also a bodybuilder) and it's hard to believe that he also died 4 yrs ago in September 2012 may both meet in heaven amen
Dry eyes do not belong to those who feel less. Tears come when the pain cannot be held inside. They are a gift to those who cannot contain it; for when the wellspring reaches the brim. Your spring is deep, And may hold more than others.
i can never go pass this scene without crying. it reminds of my grandpa. he was lying in bed and called me to him. when i got there he told me tp always be nice even if they are a terrible person. he said my time has come and the last thing he told me was "im in heaven" and he passed.
One part that always gets me is how Tom Hanks and the other prison guards looked.You could they that they didn't want to do it because by that point,they knew he was good,but they knew that they had to pull the switch at some point
Here's something that give you guys a laugh. Not sure if it will make you laugh, but here. So last night, I just finished watching this video and then my mom walked in. She asked me what was wrong, so I said it was just a video I watched that made me cry. Then she gave me a strange look, so then I said. "I'm not watching those type of videos that will make you cry!"
When I first watched this scene in the movie, it made do something I had never done before. It made me cry my fucking eyes out in front of my parents. I never watched the film again since. That was 10 years ago when I was 11. I'm 21 now and I just watched The Green Mile again.
SKYDORMER FCK MAN THAT IS JUST MY HISTORY I WAS 11 THE LAST TIME I SAW IT AND I CRIED ASWELL MY 21ST BIRTHDAY WAS 2 days ago and now I'm watching it again. What Is this?????
When I was watching the green mile with my brothers in my room, my dad when in to check on me then saw John Coffey 's execution scene me, my brothers and my dad where all crying I never see my dad cry before during movies like this. I still cry on this scene! Why do all the good people have to go they never do anything wrong, people in this world are selfish, cruel, uncaring, disrespectful, and hateful. The world is a scary place to be in but they're still hope, happiness, wonders, and light we just have to believe in ourselves, help those who are in need, make the world shine, and a little miracle there's nothing better than being alive and knows it.
You're definitely right! Trust me I have a good heart but I always get treated bad and sometimes I wonder why I get treated like shit I get depressed...Sometimes I believe the world isn't for the good because everybody around you has some evil in them that make them do what they do..Just like you said we have to believe in ourselves and I go through low self esteem but I try to stand firm..
The moment he say's, ''Please boss, don't put me in the dark'....gets me every time !!! A real grown man of 47 reduced to sobbing like a little boy who's lost.
dean absolutely kills me in this scene, him trying to hold back his tears is a perfect representation of the audience and we feel his pain in this scene
I’m just sad that they never proved it was Wild Bill who actually did it. I mean Bill got killed by Percy but they still didn’t prove he was the actual killer, but we as the audience knew.
I remember watching this movie for the first time with my mother, step father, and step brother. The entirety of about the last 20 minutes or so leading up to John Coffey's execution everyone except the step brother (who was 11 and didn't really get it) was ugly crying. Great wracking sobs at the inevitability unfolding onscreen, and the complete and utter *unfairness* of it. I've never cried harder at a movie, ever.
I think in the 40s or 50s, a 14 year old poc boy was put to dead for allegedly killing two little girls, it's been recently discovered that he was innocent. Fucking disgusting.
@@charoflakes I believe his name was George Stinney Jr. He was actually apart of the search party for the little girls and he found the bodies but as a black boy in 1940s South Carolina, and being seen with two dead bodies you’re going to be arrested. When the police questioned him they told him that if he confessed then he could go home and they’d give him ice cream. He refused. Its was only until the cops threatened his family that he confessed but the cops never actually got the confession on the transcript. But that didn’t matter. The trial took only two hours to go through all of the evidence and an all white jury took TEN minutes to deliver a guilty verdict. Despite there being no physical evidence that George committed the crime and the fact that George only weighed 95 pounds which would make it impossible for him to overpower both girls skulls in and stab a rail road nail into one of their heads the judge sentenced the 14 year old to death. After 83 days George was taken to the electric chair with his Bible. According to witnesses of the execution, George was so small that he couldn’t reach the headpiece of the electric chair so they made him sit on his Bible. George was then executed. 70 years later he was exonerated after a judge overturned the verdict. This story is considered to be one of, if not the most disgusting miscarriages of justice in our nations history
+xshadow ninja1 The handshake. The whole time I was trying to hold the tears in. The "I'm afraid of the dark" part made my throat sore, but during the handshake, I broke down
John Lamb me too. I have this movie on my DVR and I watched it last night. Being a blind individual, this particular scene made me have tears in my eyes.
The genuine heartbreak on Paul’s face and when his voice breaks while he says “Roll on two” is just gutwrenchingly sad. And the pure agony on the guards faces makes this scene so incredibly devastating. I remember when I first watched this movie, tears streaming down my face, screaming at the TV “Don’t do it! Don’t do it! He’s innocent! Please don’t do it!” I have never genuinely wept(maybe shed a tear once or twice) from any movie. So yeah, I can say this was one hell of an emotional powerful scene.
Back then it was racist so all you have to do is point at a black man and say,”he did it” with no evidence or nothing!!so they said he killed the girl when he actually tried to bring them back to life
I was hit hard when he said he's afraid of the dark.
Same😭
Same
It still hurts me when i hear that sentence.
He is dark...
[diamond] L
the one part that gets me every time is how he begs not to have the mask put on because he's afraid of the dark...innocent as a child
When he apologized and the part when he starts singing gets me
Bryson Jones When Tom Hanks couldent give the order is what always gets me..
***** Yeah that to he really sold it on his face like he didn't want to do it

did the warden get let go

What if after he said may god have mercy on your soul he say "and may he have mercy on mine"

I think the saddest part is the fact that the actor who played John Coffey actually died in real life due to heart complications. Such a talented man with so much life left to live killed too young.
It's because he was a massive person and he lost his life due to trying to lose a lot of weight for a role
Unfortunately, heart problems aren't unusual for very large or very tall people. You have to figure, the heart has to work a lot harder to pump the blood around a body that size.
Its ok he is with Jesus now✝️
The fact that Dean has tears pouring down his face,Harry cant bear to look,Brutus is trying so hard to keep it together and Paul cant bring himself to say "roll on two" is heart wrenching enough but John not wanting to have his face covered because he's afraid of the dark makes this one of the most excruciatingly saddest movie scenes in cinematic history.Great film and a great actor was taken from us far far too soon.R.I.P Mr Michael Clarke Duncan.

I imagine very little actual 'acting' was required in this scene for the prison guards. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.
I bet while they were sad, but as well very impressed. I would be high fiving Mr. Duncan, that performance was amazing.
Me to I was crying so hard at the end of this one of the movies to get me emotional I love it.
you probably a prideful punk who is all no man cries during movies, and his friends only his family and his pets, he is allowed to cry.

+TheRealBitterbub so your saying this is a allegory of the. crucifixion and ressurection of jesus christ.
it may be.
+cobra opertives.com maybe not quite the resurrection, but for the most part it's the same story.
Yeah mabye
You can see the pain in Brutus face.. it stung his heart.. but he swallows as the lump in his throat comes up...
"They kill em with they love, that's how it is everyday all over the world" that part just makes me break down.
Who is the they that are killed with their love?
+Mr Logical Madness The two kills. He told each one that he would kill the "other" if they screamed.
+Joe Parsons My first response was him saying it the first time. The second time he is referring that's how you stop hate. You kill them with love. So much truth in this statement.
Me too ;(
+Ian Reid killed Jesus a second time, they is the masses that attend churches, mosques and temple for cohesion so they can't stand divine humans on earth. They break their little world made of law, certainty and structures.
I've started a challenge, watch this whole video without crying, so far I've failed every time
i tried too .. i did it but i was feeling terrible but this is the first time all the other times i was crying to death
I took a shot every time I started to cry and almost died of alcohol poisoning.
I tried my hardest but when John started singing "I"m in heaven", I had to take a good 10-15 minutes wiping my eyes and blowing my nose with tissues. Good God that gets me every single time.
I passed ._.
Now how the hell did I pass?
The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan didn´t won an Oscar for this performance is extremely unfair
I always cry with this scene
Always since the first time
"He killed them with their love. That's how it is every day, all over the world."
Everytime when he says I'm afraid of the dark, and when I always look at Tom hank's face it always gets me.
The guard crying gets me
Killer Boy That part always gets me to

Wow, I don't care how much you say you won't cry watching a movie, this scene is just heartbreaking.

TheRealBitterbub
Hate to admit it but the only time I cried watching a movie was the opening to it's a wonderful life
I cried because I knew if I was in that situation I wouldn't have any friends to bale me out
When John Coffey said “don’t put that thing over my face. Don’t put me in the dark... I’s afraid of the dark!” I wanted to give him a hug. Just broke my heart😭💔
Infinity war: we have the saddest ending to a movie ever
The green mile: hold my beer
Did you just compare this movie with infinity war
Comparing the emotional depth of this to Infinity War is like comparing the depth of the Mariana Trench to a toilet bowl.

I don't remember the details but didn't the parents think he raped their two daughters. I know he didn't, but the parents still thought so. I can see their pain too.
Bitch please
In her defense, she thought he raped and murdered both of her children.
Even though the actor already died in 2012, this scene reminds me about his death
God be sitting up there thinking to himself "why is it that they always have to execute my gifts"
chase1146 you mean allah
Javontae Anderson I mean Yahweh.
what people fail to realize is that jesus is not yehweh, he is the son of yehweh,
chase1146 I don't know why your taking about yeehwah
because assuming that john was christian. thats the god he would most likely believe in
We miss you Michael Clarke Duncan.
Please tell God the father we need his help badly. So many people are still so bad to each other.
😭😭Never seen the movie and this is still sad
amen.
TheCoolProfessor this scene reminds me that my friends dad just died from a heart attack
He was only 39 years old
Happy Rage stfu you little no heart bitch
This reply section is the most accurate definition of the human race.
The mouse and Paul both live on and on because of what John Coffey did to them. Make you wonder... How old was John? It doesn't say in the movie. But 3 very interesting things: When in the house with Belinda, she says "You have so many scars. Where did you get them?" He says he can't remember. Also, he seems to be quite uneducated. Lastly, he always refers to all the white men as "Boss". I think the unmentioned implication here, is that he actually used to be a slave many many years ago and has lived all this time.
Gumboot Zone wow never thought of that
Actually no. Boss is a later term. All workers used to use the term master or mister or the occupation. Baker Johnson or Master Johnson. A slave would say "Massa Johnson".
Of all the reactions to John Coffey dying it's David Morse's that gets me in the way he tries to stay stoic but you can see him crumbling
John George ofc as an spectator, you put yourself in the guard's shoes, that's what makes this scene so powerfull, having seen the way Jhon helped them and others, even tiny details like ressurrecting the mouse, and most important, knowing he's inocent, yet having to kill him would be devastating...
The hardest of them all. That's the part that probably gets me the most besides poor Dean.
i literally cry my eyes out every time. The saddest scene i have ever seen.
same!!!! like ive nvr cried this much because of a movie....and i cried throughout the whole movie from the very beginning...wen that old man was crying to jhon holding the dead girla to the very end....i dont even no why i cried throughout the qhole thing cuz not all of it was tearworthy but i xouldnt help it
+Edvard Bolaas Yes Sad But to me, Not as sad as the final scene where Old Paul having lost most if not all his friends and relatives a long time ago and he and Mr. Jingles are all alone in the world.
+Edvard Bolaas This was probably the most saddest scene I have ever seen in a movie and it always gets me. Knowing that an Innocent Life was taken by the cruelty of Man.
The Electric Chair Blows up!!
I'm sorry but this was not a good movie IMO.
I just don't like sad films. I won't watch them.
Also the movie is way too long for it's own good.
Give me a lighthearted comedy over this ANYTIME
The sad moment when you realise John Coffey's actor Michael Clarke Duncan actually passed away back in 2012. :'(
Darkphantom243 that's kinda disrespectful
+Darkphantom243 Hm smells like bullshit
its sad :(
This is just one of those scenes that make you want to cry for the rest of eternity while giving this amazing actor the biggest hug ever
This scene had to be redone 7 times because the actors kept crying
John Coffey and Jesus Christ. Two men, both falsely accused. Loved by those who knew them, hated by those who didn't. Suffered tragic and heartbreaking deaths.
wait a minute john's character could be the next jesus in the story
And both fictional *grabs popcorn*
Juan Medina OMG DID YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU DID?, EVERYBODY RUN AWAY!!

ITS GONNA BLOW!
DUCK AND COVER
The child like loving nature of john is what made it tear jerking to watch
All John wanted is to make the life he had precious and the people around him feel joy and to have some fucking accusation against this man who could make the world a better place was wrongfully killed
The scene when tom hanks grabs johns hand is to me the saddest part of his death
DarcMetal02 yes he had a childlike innocence, made me cry like a baby :, (
Him saying, "I'm sorry for what I am." Broke my fucking heart into many pieces. As well as when he's afraid to enter the room because he can feel everyone's hate for him..
When he starts singing the "heaven i'm in heaven..."
It really hits my feelings hard.
Cried so badly after watching this
Me too mate me too.
I just finished it before going to bed and when I was trying to go to sleep I shed a few tears.
Dalzii The book's even sadder. And a little bit more disturbing.
+Music “MissMusicalProductions” Goddess Why?
Mastez It's just in the way that King describes his death and the ending that makes it feel so real and tragic.
Clorox Bleach I wish, sorry :(
If you can watch this without shedding a tear... I don't want to know you.
stpierreufc hahahaha
Mike House There ARE people who don't cry at all and they can't help it, and NO, not all of these people should be considered as bad or mean, or something. I cried the early times I saw this, but honestly, lately, I less feel like crying. So... What's the first thing that goes to your mind? Right now! Do you completely hate me now? Look, I'm not mad. I don't want to yell at you. I just hope your not just saying these stuff because you want to act like you were BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. (like the majority of youtube users do)
Nico Palermo Get a life.
Mike House You're doing a great job there, sir. My patience has reached its end. You CZcams users are all the same. I tried to be nice to you, like i'm trying my best to be nice to everybody, but, nooo... Nothing positive ever comes out from anybody. There's absolutely nothing I can possibly say to people on the internet, no matter how kind, nice, honest and reasonable i'm being
Nico Palermo That's because you took a stupid joke I made and turned it into a reason for you to spew your self righteous garbage.
"Roll on two." Perhaps one of the most emotional line readings I've ever heard from Tom Hanks.
He's completely innocent, so sad.....
I really just want to give him a hug :( such a sad movie moment
That may not be the best idea... you know... electricity and all...
(I'm sorry)
+Hovis true. I'll hug him before he dies. Or I'll wear a rubber suit? A giant condom from the naked gun :p
+Dannie's Daze Now I have images in my head, that I really, really don't want. Thank you :)
+Hovis Pmsl! It makes Johns death a little less depressing I think :p
+Dannie's Daze no one gives a shit
I think they only cried during his execution, y'all notice that?
yea kinda
Did you not watcb the movie lol of course they were the only ones because they know he's genuinely a sweet innocent man. Tom Hanks' character was so saddened knowing he'd have to give the order to execute John that he offered to allow john to escape.
I think it should be best pointed out that even Brutal shed a tear.

The guard that is crying represents all of us..Poor John Coffey
The guard crying I think he was the meanest guard too in the beginning
if someone didnt cry during that scene ........his heart is made of stone
+Carlitos Encarnacion yeah I didn't cry either but it is very depressing
I haven't cried for years because that's not what a 19 year old guy does right...
I just finished this movie for the first time but I got to admit I shed a few tears at the end.
Brought me close, only one film has brought me closer and that's Inside Out, such a sad scene
! Just-A-Tobi ! I didn't cry not even lying it made me bad for him I felt sad but didn't cry
im very sorry then
"I'm sorry for what I am" ..."don't put me in the dark, boss. please. I's afraid of the dark." ...."Heaven, Heaven, I'm in heaven, Heaven, I'm in heaven"
I've seen this movie multiple times and this scene still destroys me.
I agree completely. The buildup to it is almost as painful as the execution itself. The guards really did love him and tried to make it as painless and easy for him (and themselves) as possible. I can't believe the warden allowed Cofi to be executed after seeing what he did for his wife, but that's the world we live in. We fear and hate what we don't understand. Michael Clarke Duncan will live on forever though this role, and he was beautiful in it.
The only piece of fiction that has ever made me feel even close to this was "Six Feet Under" especially the last 4 episodes.
David Morse, Tom Hanks, Michael Duncan, Barry Pepper, Jeffrey DeMunn and other... Every actor in this movie is biiiiiig star!
This movie tears me up.... Every time I watch it... We miss you so much Michael Clarke Duncan! Great actors abound in this movie and it runs the gambit of emotions for sure!
Saddest death in cinema history.
I agree 100%!
Close but I think the champ wins that
Even sadder then spidermans?

@@lilveltheplayer2164 idek
One of the most emotional scenes in cinematic history.
I never cry during movies yet I just found myself bawling in the middle of theater practice (around other people) because we were watching this.
"He killed them with they love.....that's how it is, all over the world....." 😔
This scene was absolutely heart rending. I mean I can't imagine anyone being able to watch this scene without crying.
"What am I supposed to tell God when I killed one of his miracles?"
"You tells him you were just doing your job"
Alright, those lines are depressing as hell.
xD
The part when Paul said he's fearful of damnation was heavy too.
i did
This movie you only see once because you're too afraid to watch another time. Why?! Because you'll cry your heart out. I watched this part maybe 100 times. Still I roll my eyes as much as I can to stop myself from crying.
The acting in this movie is legendary.
You can't top it.
"Pls don't put that thing on me I am afraid of the dark" 😭😭😭
I remember watching this and crying so hard
you look hot thats all moving on
nice pick up
I know everyone's feeling
cuz I watched this movie back in 2000
I'm from India and I watched this with my cousin who passed away in 2008
it's so sad cuz he resembled so much like sir Michael Clarke Duncan (my cuz was also a bodybuilder)
and it's hard to believe that he also died 4 yrs ago in September 2012
may both meet in heaven
amen
this so sad :( 😢
wtf how
I'm ashamed to say I didn't cry. I really wanted to, but I literally couldn't cry. This scene touches my heart every time I watch the movie though.
Jonathan Withee Same here, I really feel bad because I am not crying
Naokade Still a fantastic god damn scene.
Jonathan Withee I know, but I made my heart turn into Stone, I really wanna feel as everyone else, but I can't do that anymore
Naokade same. I block out all emotion, just to avoid any kind of pain.
Dry eyes do not belong to those who feel less.
Tears come when the pain cannot be held inside.
They are a gift to those who cannot contain it;
for when the wellspring reaches the brim.
Your spring is deep,
And may hold more than others.
Dean shaking his head in tears always got me. He knew this was so wrong
"I'm sorry for what I am." One of the most profound lines in the movie.
i can never go pass this scene without crying. it reminds of my grandpa. he was lying in bed and called me to him. when i got there he told me tp always be nice even if they are a terrible person. he said my time has come and the last thing he told me was "im in heaven" and he passed.
*to
SpicyWulfy I'm sorry :(
I hope he rests in peace.

Your grandpa sounds like a real good man. May he rest in peace. ❤️
One part that always gets me is how Tom Hanks and the other prison guards looked.You could they that they didn't want to do it because by that point,they knew he was good,but they knew that they had to pull the switch at some point
AMEN MY BROTHER/SISTER
The, “I’m sorry for what I am” kills me everytime.
he's not afraid of death, he's afraid of the dark.
this damn ninjas cutting onions around me

Here's something that give you guys a laugh. Not sure if it will make you laugh, but here.
So last night, I just finished watching this video and then my mom walked in. She asked me what was wrong, so I said it was just a video I watched that made me cry. Then she gave me a strange look, so then I said. "I'm not watching those type of videos that will make you cry!"
Semidampo hey dude is if have a heart and watch it with more atention you will undertand what does mean to ahve feelings -.-
So sad that Michael CD passed away...RIP big fella

I'm a former guard and I can't even watch this without getting choked up 😭😭😭😭😭
This will always bring me to tears, Every. Single. Time.
When I first watched this scene in the movie, it made do something I had never done before. It made me cry my fucking eyes out in front of my parents. I never watched the film again since. That was 10 years ago when I was 11. I'm 21 now and I just watched The Green Mile again.
Still works huh? :(
have seen this movie countless times and still hits me like a ton of bricks.
the film is so watchable again and again. But it is best not to watch it too much so you don't lose the sense of emotion
SKYDORMER i
SKYDORMER FCK MAN THAT IS JUST MY HISTORY I WAS 11 THE LAST TIME I SAW IT AND I CRIED ASWELL MY 21ST BIRTHDAY WAS 2 days ago and now I'm watching it again. What Is this?????
When I was watching the green mile with my brothers in my room, my dad when in to check on me then saw John Coffey 's execution scene me, my brothers and my dad where all crying I never see my dad cry before during movies like this. I still cry on this scene! Why do all the good people have to go they never do anything wrong, people in this world are selfish, cruel, uncaring, disrespectful, and hateful. The world is a scary place to be in but they're still hope, happiness, wonders, and light we just have to believe in ourselves, help those who are in need, make the world shine, and a little miracle there's nothing better than being alive and knows it.
I am heartless. I didn't even feel sad! I feel sad just thinking about my empty soul :(
You're definitely right! Trust me I have a good heart but I always get treated bad and sometimes I wonder why I get treated like shit I get depressed...Sometimes I believe the world isn't for the good because everybody around you has some evil in them that make them do what they do..Just like you said we have to believe in ourselves and I go through low self esteem but I try to stand firm..
***** Trust me, you're not alone. I go through pretty much the same.

The moment he say's, ''Please boss, don't put me in the dark'....gets me every time !!! A real grown man of 47 reduced to sobbing like a little boy who's lost.
dean absolutely kills me in this scene, him trying to hold back his tears is a perfect representation of the audience and we feel his pain in this scene
I’m just sad that they never proved it was Wild Bill who actually did it. I mean Bill got killed by Percy but they still didn’t prove he was the actual killer, but we as the audience knew.
I remember watching this movie for the first time with my mother, step father, and step brother.
The entirety of about the last 20 minutes or so leading up to John Coffey's execution everyone except the step brother (who was 11 and didn't really get it) was ugly crying. Great wracking sobs at the inevitability unfolding onscreen, and the complete and utter *unfairness* of it.
I've never cried harder at a movie, ever.
The saddest part about this isn't the movie. It's that things like this really happened
Vick Nelonis it happened to a kid
I think in the 40s or 50s, a 14 year old poc boy was put to dead for allegedly killing two little girls, it's been recently discovered that he was innocent. Fucking disgusting.
@@charoflakes 70 fucking years later they found out that he was innocent 70 years after his death what kinda bs is that?
@@charoflakes I believe his name was George Stinney Jr. He was actually apart of the search party for the little girls and he found the bodies but as a black boy in 1940s South Carolina, and being seen with two dead bodies you’re going to be arrested. When the police questioned him they told him that if he confessed then he could go home and they’d give him ice cream. He refused. Its was only until the cops threatened his family that he confessed but the cops never actually got the confession on the transcript. But that didn’t matter. The trial took only two hours to go through all of the evidence and an all white jury took TEN minutes to deliver a guilty verdict. Despite there being no physical evidence that George committed the crime and the fact that George only weighed 95 pounds which would make it impossible for him to overpower both girls skulls in and stab a rail road nail into one of their heads the judge sentenced the 14 year old to death. After 83 days George was taken to the electric chair with his Bible. According to witnesses of the execution, George was so small that he couldn’t reach the headpiece of the electric chair so they made him sit on his Bible. George was then executed. 70 years later he was exonerated after a judge overturned the verdict. This story is considered to be one of, if not the most disgusting miscarriages of justice in our nations history
It's a mix between George Stinney Jr and Joe Arridy's case
The "please no don't put the bag over my head I'm afraid of the dark" part gets me every time. What part got you?
2 parts got me actually. 1. When Tom Hanks couldn't give the order without breaking down. 2. When all the officers were crying.
mine is where John was watching the film as thats the last piece old paul edgecome remembers him by
when he was singing I'm in heaven.
+xshadow ninja1 The handshake. The whole time I was trying to hold the tears in. The "I'm afraid of the dark" part made my throat sore, but during the handshake, I broke down

John Lamb me too. I have this movie on my DVR and I watched it last night. Being a blind individual, this particular scene made me have tears in my eyes.
Me too
Why do I torture myself with this again?😭😭
The genuine heartbreak on Paul’s face and when his voice breaks while he says “Roll on two” is just gutwrenchingly sad. And the pure agony on the guards faces makes this scene so incredibly devastating. I remember when I first watched this movie, tears streaming down my face, screaming at the TV “Don’t do it! Don’t do it! He’s innocent! Please don’t do it!”
I have never genuinely wept(maybe shed a tear once or twice) from any movie. So yeah, I can say this was one hell of an emotional powerful scene.
this movie is even more sad than the titanic
+Kiman elias Titanic is a load of crap. I like how Scary Movie 2 made fun of it
I feel so bad for him he didn't even do nothin wrong
Transitliam Brotv exactly he just wanted to be nice
Back then it was racist so all you have to do is point at a black man and say,”he did it” with no evidence or nothing!!so they said he killed the girl when he actually tried to bring them back to life
That's true like but he like he still gets it because he willing to do that John said
I started this forty five minutes in, right when the first execution was, and it was the first movie I cried in
