this scene always stood out to me the most. when he said "im tired of people being ugly to each other" it made so much sense to me even as a young teenager at the time.
After so many years, I still love this movie. It never fails to make me cry. What John Coffey said was kinda true, that the world is filled with pain and that people are always being ugly to each other, due to greed, lust, anger...
I am tired of the very same reasons. I feel the exact same way....... I wake up everyday hoping that maybe I will find that friend, and that maybe, there is good in all that is yet to be uncovered. But man, this scene was powerful. Poor John.
this is exactly how i feel everyday I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's going to or coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?
This was the first time I cried because of a movie. The moment he said "tired of having me no buddy" "tired of people being ugly to each other" and then the tear afterwards.... Right in the feels :'(
on the day of my judgement when i stand before God and He asks me; why did i kill one of His true miracles? what am i going to say? that it was my job? very powerfull stuff! anyone who can watch this and not feel anything isn't human!
Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like... pieces of glass in my head- all the time. - That's the one that got me.
cryofpaine i hear you, brother! and it's eerily true! you just have to look at the news to see wat people do to each other all over the world! cruelty beyond belief! altough it never gets explained in the movie i'd like to think that john coffey is really old, hanks' caracter asks him at one point; how old are you? and doesn't get an answer. i imagine he was around when the piramids got build, and jesus nailed to the cross! when you're thousands of years old and feeling the pain of the world i can believe you want it to end! such a beautiful story with so many layers!
Paul - John... tell me what you want me to do. You want me to take you out of here? Just let you run away? See how far you could get? JOHN COFFEY-Why would you do such a foolish thing? Paul - - On the day of my judgment... when I stand before God... and he asks me why did I... Did I kill one of his true... miracles... what am I going to say? That it was my job? It's my job. JOHN COFFEY-You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you're hurting and worrying. I can feel it on you. But you ought to quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. Too much
This was my favourite film as a child and still a favourite now that I've grown up. Had a lot of bad things happen through my life. When things got tough, I popped this DVD in and watched because it's such a moving, incredible and inspiring story that really makes you stop and think about your life. It humbles you and pouts your life into perspective. Thank you sir for helping me. You really did have an impact on my life, though I never met you. RIP.
I’ve never understood why my mom hated this movie so much until I watched it myself. This movie will break your heart in all sorts of ways. Michael Clark Duncan deserved his Oscar nomination for this one, Rest In Peace
*sniff* I.... This movie is so touching and emotional and it never fails to make me cry. This is my favorite movie ever. Rest in piece Michael. Rest in piece.😢😭
I recently found out Michael Clarke Duncan passed. A very happy, nice man and his performance in TGM was so moving to me and this makes me sad. R.I.P MIKE!!
Loved this scene so touching and so much meaning, the whole movie is spectacular and special, Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks did an amazing job, could never of cast anyone better.
I feel the exact same way this world is so lost so blind if only people will just love each other only how bright the road will feel even if its physically dark just how warmer you're bed feels knowing that there's love outside also and I've been really achingly lonley to the point where my mood comes and goes everyday since I turned 13 I've had faith that I'd have a friend someone to kiss me on my forehead to tell me its OK some one to tuck me in at night when the world is at war some one to crack me up not temporary but always I've found myself crying so many nights cause lonley longers within me every since age 13 I'm almost 17 now but still I refuse to give up someday I will find happiness someday we ALL will
i cant even bear the news, i never put the radio on when i drive never watch the news on tv and never touch the newspaper, theres just to much pain, too many people willing to hurt each other theres always someone getting mugged, robbed, raped, kidnapped, bullied into suicide, its a shit world
He won one in my heart, such an amazing performance by him. I am only saddened by how we will never see him in another movie, a truly skilled and inspiring actor.
An amazing piece of casting, I have friends who knew Michael and he was the sweet man portrayed here. What a loss. I'll always watch this when I feel like a cry, and it's extra poignant now. RIP big guy.
I was 10 when I saw this movie. When he said he was tired of all the ugly, I understood. Social media wasn't much of a thing then, but as technology advanced, it really has exposed a lot of darkness in our world. It's safe to say I'm tired of the ugly as well.
This is the only movie that can make me cry :'( it's my favorite movie for its meaning, I love it...but it's so sad-John Coffey is the most virtuous, inspirational character ever.
"The Green Mile" (the novel) changed my opinion about the death penalty. The movie was true to the book, a rarity for Hollywood, and the characters were perfectly cast. Especially John Coffey. This scene spoke to me on so many levels, and I wept when he died. Now, having just heard of Michael Clarke Duncan's passing, I am crying again. Farewell, gentle man. Be free.
This scene is the most beautiful scene in the history of movie making. Nothing but perfection. This movie is along with one other the only movie that has made me cry. So extremely beautiful.
"Mostly... I'm tired of people being ugly to each other." Those words are so true, that I cry non-stop. I don't know if I'm too sensitive, but... it's just so true. People can be so horrible to other people. And I just don't understand why. Why are people so... filled with hatred? Why do people need to case so much pain and suffering to each other? This could be such a beautiful world, if we just could treat each other with love and care...
Imagine living in a world so screwed up that a man would willingly allow himself to be executed for a crime he didn't commit just to get away from it all.
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan, you were AMAZING as John Coffey...no one could have been better than you! GODBLESS YOU AND MAY YOU REST IN HEAVEN FOR ALL ETERNITY!
"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time."
Jenn..don't cry...You've cried when your heart got broke... I can't cry...I don't want to...I just can't...but I have got to...This scene really got to me... 💔....💔...
Rip Michael I loved you in the green mile and I'll miss you a lot I hope heaven is all its cracked up to be and the green mile will always be one of my favorites
Like The Shawshank Redemption, also a short novel by Stephen King and also directed by Frank Darabont, this movie (particularly because of this part), will forever resonate with me!
Michael Clarke Duncan, Sir, you encapsulated perfectly the love of Jesus Christ and turned Green Mile into a work of Spiritual Art. I Will always remember you fondly, and my children will watch you in Green Mile.
"Tired of not having me a buddy to be with lonely as a sparrow in the rain" ugh makes me so sad
Me too
this scene always stood out to me the most. when he said "im tired of people being ugly to each other" it made so much sense to me even as a young teenager at the time.
Makes me cry now. I’m an INFJ like Coffey character.
After so many years, I still love this movie. It never fails to make me cry. What John Coffey said was kinda true, that the world is filled with pain and that people are always being ugly to each other, due to greed, lust, anger...
kinda? thats an understatement T.
And often people do the wrong thing when they think they are doing the right thing.
This is the scene that ruins me. Every single time. Cannot get through this speech without crying.
Me too man
RIP MCD... This movie has literally changed my life
I am tired of the very same reasons. I feel the exact same way.......
I wake up everyday hoping that maybe I will find that friend, and that maybe, there is good in all that is yet to be uncovered.
But man, this scene was powerful. Poor John.
How's it going David?
This is acting at it's very best!
What a beautifully crafted film. Every second. Absolute perfection.
The fact that the most simple of men can understand how cruel and irrational the world is says something big about others
A great man, RIP "I’m tired, boss. Tired of bein’ on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain."
Remarkable actor. So talented, so graceful, so kind.. You will be remembered, Michael..
Every line is sadder than the next. The feels, oh, man! The feels! :'-( RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.
Very powerful acting
They cannot, and better not remake this movie. This is the best it can possibly be. Beautiful actors, and amazing scenes that can pull emotions out
this is exactly how i feel everyday
I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's going to or coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?
Is being an HGV driver that bad?
This was the first time I cried because of a movie. The moment he said "tired of having me no buddy" "tired of people being ugly to each other" and then the tear afterwards.... Right in the feels :'(
Always when I see this scene, brings tears to my eyes. R.I.P John coffee

Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan were brilliant in this movie
This scene is better than entire plots of many films.
Paul - John... tell me what you want me to do.
You want me to take you out of here?
Just let you run away?
See how far you could get?
JOHN COFFEY-Why would you do
such a foolish thing?
Paul - - On the day of my judgment...
when I stand before God...
and he asks me why did I...
Did I kill one of his true...
miracles...
what am I going to say?
That it was my job?
It's my job.
JOHN COFFEY-You tell God the Father
it was a kindness you done.
I know you're hurting and worrying.
I can feel it on you.
But you ought to quit on it now.
I want it to be over and done with.
I do.
I'm tired, boss.
Tired of being on the road,
lonely as a sparrow in the rain.
I'm tired of never having me
a buddy to be with...
to tell me where we's going to,
coming from, or why.
Mostly, I'm tired of people
being ugly to each other.
I'm tired of all the pain
I feel and hear in the world...
every day.
There's too much of it. Too much
One Hell of an actor....One Hell of a MAN.... R.I.P. Mr. Duncan
So sad he died, R.I.P
God called him home.
Who cried at this movie ?
everyone!
Not a dry eye in the whole theatre.
Three times. Grown ass man here. Not even ashamed.
Me
Not ashamed to admit I did...
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan . you dun changed my life in these two minutes
One of my favorite movie scenes in history. It's a masterclass in acting from Hanks and Duncan, and I can relate to the message so much.
One of the most precious scenes I have ever seen in a movie. Just beautiful.
Michael Clark Duncan sold this performance so well. RIP big man, you truly are a legend.
One of my favorite scenes in any movie ever. Both guys are just masterful, and it never fails to hit me like a gut punch.
This was my favourite film as a child and still a favourite now that I've grown up.
Had a lot of bad things happen through my life. When things got tough, I popped this DVD in and watched because it's such a moving, incredible and inspiring story that really makes you stop and think about your life. It humbles you and pouts your life into perspective.
Thank you sir for helping me. You really did have an impact on my life, though I never met you. RIP.
You were a great actor I miss you may you rest in peace
Wonderful actor, he will be missed. Rest in peace big fella. :(
I will never forget how you managed to make me cry every time i watched this movie, you will never be forgotten.
tried to hold back the tears but couldn't help it. such a good story
~R.I.P MICHAEL DUNCAN~
~R.I.P JOHN COFFEY~
1:45 I feel you , John .One day , we will all reunite and laugh and cry over all the foolishness and meaness of the yonder .
I’ve never understood why my mom hated this movie so much until I watched it myself. This movie will break your heart in all sorts of ways.
Michael Clark Duncan deserved his Oscar nomination for this one, Rest In Peace
*sniff* I.... This movie is so touching and emotional and it never fails to make me cry. This is my favorite movie ever. Rest in piece Michael. Rest in piece.😢😭

RIP Mike, a true gentle giant...good person and great actor...
That is the conversation I want to have when I get retrenched...'It's a kindness you done me. I'm tired boss'
Lonely as a sparrow in the rain... :(
Rest in peace, Sir. This was an excellent performance.
I recently found out Michael Clarke Duncan passed. A very happy, nice man and his performance in TGM was so moving to me and this makes me sad. R.I.P MIKE!!
Loved this scene so touching and so much meaning, the whole movie is spectacular and special, Michael Clarke Duncan and Tom Hanks did an amazing job, could never of cast anyone better.
I feel the exact same way this world is so lost so blind if only people will just love each other only how bright the road will feel even if its physically dark just how warmer you're bed feels knowing that there's love outside also
and I've been really achingly lonley to the point where my mood comes and goes everyday since I turned 13 I've had faith that I'd have a friend someone to kiss me on my forehead to tell me its OK
some one to tuck me in at night when the world is at war
some one to crack me up not temporary but always I've found myself crying so many nights cause lonley longers within me every since age 13 I'm almost 17 now but still I refuse to give up
someday I will find happiness
someday we ALL will
CZcams the deceased philosopher, alan watts
Incredible acting, just incredible
i cant even bear the news, i never put the radio on when i drive never watch the news on tv and never touch the newspaper, theres just to much pain, too many people willing to hurt each other theres always someone getting mugged, robbed, raped, kidnapped, bullied into suicide, its a shit world
He won one in my heart, such an amazing performance by him.
I am only saddened by how we will never see him in another movie, a truly skilled and inspiring actor.
I never cry at movies but this scene just hit me like a bullet I cried like a baby
An amazing piece of casting, I have friends who knew Michael and he was the sweet man portrayed here. What a loss. I'll always watch this when I feel like a cry, and it's extra poignant now. RIP big guy.
Powerful words by two great actors.
Rest In Peace Michael Clarke Duncan, A very inspirational person to me. ♥
I was 10 when I saw this movie. When he said he was tired of all the ugly, I understood. Social media wasn't much of a thing then, but as technology advanced, it really has exposed a lot of darkness in our world. It's safe to say I'm tired of the ugly as well.
Tears in my eyes every time.
This is the only movie that can make me cry :'( it's my favorite movie for its meaning, I love it...but it's so sad-John Coffey is the most virtuous, inspirational character ever.
In peace may you rest, Mr. Michael Clarke Duncan.
R.I.P Michael Clarke Duncan. This movie is just great *sob*
R.I.P big man tired no more....
Love you xxx
wow, that just changed my life.
One of two movies I cried during.
RIP man.
ohhhhhhhh it is like pieces of glass in my head
"The Green Mile" (the novel) changed my opinion about the death penalty. The movie was true to the book, a rarity for Hollywood, and the characters were perfectly cast. Especially John Coffey. This scene spoke to me on so many levels, and I wept when he died. Now, having just heard of Michael Clarke Duncan's passing, I am crying again. Farewell, gentle man. Be free.
three that cried all day after that :(
This scene is the most beautiful scene in the history of movie making. Nothing but perfection. This movie is along with one other the only movie that has made me cry. So extremely beautiful.
thank you for posting this..
I'm not even crying out of sadness here. I'm crying because i feel so incredibly disguested with our entire species.
There is beauty in this world. Don't forget that.
...Does anyone have a tissue? I've run out! :'(
***** Thank you :'-(
Rest in Peace, big guy.
You can feel all the emotions in this video, this world where people dont care that much and people are ugly to each other.
Manly tears have been shed.
"Mostly... I'm tired of people being ugly to each other."
Those words are so true, that I cry non-stop. I don't know if I'm too sensitive, but... it's just so true. People can be so horrible to other people. And I just don't understand why.
Why are people so... filled with hatred? Why do people need to case so much pain and suffering to each other? This could be such a beautiful world, if we just could treat each other with love and care...
This clip was uploaded to CZcams 8 years after the movie's release and it's been 24 years... 🤯
It sad to see this video he is very good friendly guy thank you for sharing your story very good show thanks
Imagine living in a world so screwed up that a man would willingly allow himself to be executed for a crime he didn't commit just to get away from it all.
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan, you were AMAZING as John Coffey...no one could have been better than you! GODBLESS YOU AND MAY YOU REST IN HEAVEN FOR ALL ETERNITY!
this movie mad me cry its soo good it sad they can't moves this good anymore
This scene made me and my girlfriend cry like babies last night we watched it
"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time."
This is the most difficult movie I've seen, but I love it so much. It really put Christ's actions into perspective for me.
Jenn..don't cry...You've cried when your heart got broke...
I can't cry...I don't want to...I just can't...but I have got to...This scene really got to me... 💔....💔...
I cried so much during this movie.
one person accidently clicked dislike because the tears we're fudgin up their vision
One of my favorite movies
RIP Michael! You'll live forever in this movie!
sad but true.. cause i have seen a sparrow in the rain before.....and it was always by itself.
Rest In Peace Michael Clarke Duncan.
Paul tried to let him go
Love the movie, love this sad scene.. But i never seem to cry during movies.. Wish i did, i want to feel those tears like i did when i was 13
He will be missed...
Rip Michael I loved you in the green mile and I'll miss you a lot I hope heaven is all its cracked up to be and the green mile will always be one of my favorites
R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan.
rest in peace...
He was in front of Tom Hanks, still people say "he is a good actor", that is a miracle.
RIP big guy :(
One of the best 'Hollywood' films ever behind Once Upon a Time in America, Apocalypse Now and Taxi Driver
Like The Shawshank Redemption, also a short novel by Stephen King and also directed by Frank Darabont, this movie (particularly because of this part), will forever resonate with me!
Michael Clarke Duncan, Sir, you encapsulated perfectly the love of Jesus Christ and turned Green Mile into a work of Spiritual Art. I Will always remember you fondly, and my children will watch you in Green Mile.
I am crying again...
RIP, Michael Clarcke Duncan
