I never thought of that...but yea you are right!
People have commented on how John says "I'm sorry for what I am" so that the families can be content. However I believe that he was being sincere and honest. Like he has come to regret his gift because he was simply too pure for this world. Here is a being so kind, so loving, so incapable of evil, who has been broken so much by humanity's evil to the point where he is truly sorry for being what he is. In the end, he still felt like it was his fault. A true angel.
The “I’s scared of the dark” broke me into a million pieces

@@theclownservatarian6410 yes
He was too pure for this cruel world. Thank you, mr. Stephen King. For this - and for many more
"Does it hurt yet? I hope it does." Considering what we know about John, we probably should be angry at her for saying this. But the true tragedy lies within the simple fact that her pain of losing her children is real, but she doesn't know the truth. She doesn't know better than to hate John. I cannot really blame her for the pain a mother like her must have been going through, even if this pain breeds even more pain.
I'm a father and i get it when i first watched the movie as a kid i was angry at her but i watched it again after my son was born and understood her anger. people never really know until they have children themselves...

This is the first movie that has ever made me cry, i thought it was stupid that people cried during movies, but after i saw Johns face and him saying he is afraid of the dark shatered my soul, i was also crying because i knew the actor passed away making this look even sader. RIP legend 🕊️

I like how the cameras didn’t show john being electricuted, almost as if to show respect to him and not glorify his death
Yeah...
Yea, i liked how this time, it shows the guards' reactions. They all knew he was innocent
I guess that means, Reaction is more important than the fact of execution for Audience

@@andrefelipe2643 because Percy is a evil man
It sounds like something he said before he went to bed to his mom now he said that before he’s dead
He carried the burden of all the evil, sickness and sin of everyone else in the world. So much that he feared himself being in that darkness.. Reminds me of a Bible verse, "The Light has come into the world. But men preferred darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil" John was the light in that world, and he feared losing that
This might just be the greatest death scene in cinema history. From john apologizing to the family even though he did no wrong, to the guards just barely holding back their tears knowing that an innocent man is about to die, to john singing the song about heaven, to paul holding his hand moments before they turn on the chair, to the fact that john never screamed. Everything about this scene is just perfect and so heart shattering.
can't scream while electrocuted.
The way he says “heaven, I’m in heaven” is so heartbreaking 💔
What makes this even more sad is that the actor who played John died of a heart attack in 2012. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.

It’s sad to think that this once happened in real life to many people.
Shit it still happens today just not as often
Most people deserve it though they didnt get in that chair beeing good..well in real life i mean.
Whiterun Soldier but there has also been a lot of hate crimes, injustice and racial profiling that put some people into those chairs
@@BlakeFerret We dont use the electric chair anymore. The last time the electric chair was used was almost 7 years ago. We have pretty much completely converted to lethal injection now.
I was really referring to people being charged with a crime they didnt commit....but yeah some states still use the electric chair although you can choose lethal injection
The older I get, the harder it is to watch this scene. Everything about this is just perfect it absolutely destroys my heart.
this scene always got to me, it’s such a shame how he was killed, even the police knew his innocence :(
It's truly a sad scene but maybe a happy ending for Coffey. He say everyday he is in great pain, he can feel everyone's pain and he wants the Execution.
What we all have done during this scene: 1- breathed hard. 2- tried not to cry. 3- cried hard.
everytime i watch this flim i always tear up at the end
Yes

4-Sob like a baby and wiping tears all over face
It's true 😭
When Tom Hanks said "May God have mercy on your soul" his face says "may God have mercy on my soul too"
It feels like hes telling himself that more than paul
His name is Paul
May god have mercy on OUR souls...
I think the tonal change in his voice is an indicator he's telling this to himself more than John
Louisiana Boy i always thought that Paul was saying it to himself as well as John. He had already voiced concern about how God would judge him for killing a miracle, and so he’s praying to God not to judge him for doing it.
'I'm sorry for what I am' A message sent by the movie which was much ahead of its time.
Michael Clarke Duncan delivered one of the greatest acting performances ever. He did an outstanding job portraying John Coffey in a way that it brought us all to tears. I look at John Coffey as a Christ-like figure who had to die in order to save those around him. The guards knew he was innocent yet had no choice but to put him to death. Rest in peace Michael, you will never be forgotten. ❤
😥
“Please don’t put the hood on boss, I’m scared of the dark” Makes me cry everytime I hear those lines
Chumpy the Anteater that line always makes my heart break 💔😭
This is the only movie I've cried in
Hi
I understand
Chumpy the Anteater I cried during the entire movie. I made the foolish mistake of taking a peek before I saw everything. That line killed me a bit...
When the woman said "I hope it hurts like hell", and I saw his face, I realized that, at this very moment, nothing would hurt more than what he was feeling right there before he died.
this scene begins with a dialogue and shot where he said he could feel all the hate and anger since he entered the room...
That was some brilliant acting wasn't it
Yes, but woman wasn't at fault. She actually believed he had killed both her daughters. She couldn't know the truth.
@Callum Willis-Hignight Yeah, but remember that he was the only one found in a field with the two dead girls in his arms. Also, he was acting in a very strange manner. Of course, you and I know better because we've watched the movie. But with the information the mother had, her anger was justifiable.
@Callum Willis-Hignight Haha turns out I had an youtube tab open and the notification popped up.
What makes this scene even sadder and heartbreaking is that the actor who played John Coffey passed away😢😢😢😢 RIP Michael Clarke Duncan you are still missed to this day and may we hope that we’ll meet you in heaven someday
Despite the crowds hatred towards John it makes me cry heartwarming tears how none of the guards wanted to do this and how much they knew he was innocent and they cared so much for him❤❤❤
“They killin’ what they love, That’s how it is. All over the world.” - John Coffey
Profoundly true
... 🍿...
He actually said "He killed them with their love"
He said “he killed them with they love” as in the reason they died was because the sisters loved each other so much they wouldn’t scream out for help bc Wild bill told them if they said something or made any noise he would kill them
@@jar3987 That's exactly it, as others are able to kill them too through love: their jealousy, too much passion, like what in one way or the other, it is important to make the difference. In friendship or in couple, the individual interest must not strangle the common interest and vice versa ... Common sense and balance
The guards in that room knew that John was a pure an innocent giant.. I can't help but get teary eyed on this scene
This scene where the Mother cries out "does it hurt yet" and then the scene switches to Paul whom appeared to pause, I actually thought his next words would be, "he's an innocent man wrongfully accused for the crimes of Wild Bill". I saw this film after spending six months in East Timor as a Peace Keeper with the Australian Army. And it brought home to me the injustices portrayed in the film and the very similar treatment the peoples of East Timor suffered under the Indonesians.
They did know but they had no choice so he had to give order
@Papaya Tasty It's not that they couldn't save him, John actually wanted to die because he was tired of all the pain and suffering in the world. The guards gave him the choice to escape and he refused
maning04 if I was him giving the order I wouldn’t let him be killed despite John wanting to die
@@timorvet1 they made their own choices
I already cried my eyeballs out and I’m still crying😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This never fails to make me tear up. Just him say he afraid of the dark just hurts my heart
When John said that he’s afraid of the dark, that broke me.
Unfortunately, this is what happens to human beings. There are reasons that push a person to commit approved mistakes such as murder, theft and unintentional killing
😪
@@squad-kl3ek it is unfortunate, especially because the evidence shouldn’t have been able to condemn him, so there real killer got to get another kill by killing this guy
I was real close at that moment, but when he said “He killed them with their love” I couldn’t stop crying.
When he said he was afraid of the dark, it was the physical world that he endured. His soul went to a better place than the cruel world he had to witness.
This movie will literally make the manliest of a man cry And when i say cry I mean UGLY CRY

I love this movie. John Coffey, Del Delcroix, and Arlen Bitterbuck have taught me a lot about the human spirit and that people can find redemption and forgiveness even in their final hours if they chose to repent.
What really hits me is that even the actor is gone too.
:(
Yeah it makes me so upset. My dad actually met him and said he was such a kind and wonderful man. R.I.P
Ye and wats the film about idk it’s just emotional and what’s happening rn with blm
Jenson X9 a gentleman named John Coffey was accused of killing this white man’s daughters. Coffey was trying to save them but no one was around to witness him attempting to save the girls. They thought Coffey killed them and their father beat Coffey. He then was sentenced to death. The officers that get emotional know he is innocent but can’t or won’t do anything.
WAIT WHAT!?
Imagine going to heaven and having to explain to god why you killed one of his angels on an electric chair
Person who killed the angel:*Arrives in heaven* "Oh my g-" God:*Slamdunks the person into hell through all the layers of it*
Hence why hank says 'may god have mercy on your soul' he isn't actually referring to john but to himself as he is ashamed that he must execute an innocent man
he asked to John before in this movie: "please John tell me what do you want me to do? ..at the day of my Judgement stand before the God. what will i supposed so say to kill one of his ..miracles? 'cause that was my job?"
Ask that to Pilatus
Thats why he was sentence to live. Outlive everyone. He was being punished for killing one of gods angels.
The definition of a gentle giant 🙁😭
0:53 It always stuck with me with how Paul paused there for a moment. Knowing that he and his friends were about to kill not only an innocent man, but a miracle of God and someone who became a good friend of his, no doubt would've been extremely hard to do, but now John asks them to not put the hood on him since he's afraid of the dark. Paul said ok because he didn't want John to die full of fear, but now he had to look directly into the eyes of John as they killed him and watch his painful expressions as he died. That must've been an even harder decision to make and my heart goes out to him for granting John's last request.

This movie had me sad for TWO days. This part felt like the hardest gut punch. My auntie had to send me to bed I was crying so hard
For those of you who don't know this movie dedicated for a guy named Joe arridy , Joe had less than 50 IQ and convicted for a crime he didn't commit. He spent his day in cell playing with his train wooden toy that wardens gave him , smiling and literally happy. He was well liked by all the guards who guarding that cell blocks even others prisoners liked him too . He couldn't understand the concept of executions ,all he knows he's going to heaven and saying "no... no... Joe ... Won't die" . After his execution , written in his grave "here's lies innocent man" . And he also being known as the happiest person on death row. "Joe Arridy" and "John Coffey" spelled with first "J" all along with "Y" . And different colours shows for all of the world that innocent man can be executed no matter what colors they are. Even if it's not executed.. innocent people can die horrible for something they didn't do.
Its also slightly based on George Stinney. He was the youngest person to ever be on death row, at just the age of 14. Executed in 1944.
Well thats fucking sad
Arridy’s seems even sadder reading about it.
I can't remember if this was the same guy but there was at least another guy like him who asked for ice cream as his last meal and told the guards as they were taking him to be executed that he was saving the rest for later.

When David Morse stood there, fighting the tears, I felt that. A perfect performance by everyone.
ironfae to me, his moment is what captured the meaning of this scene. You could see the pain in his facial expression
Clay Castleberry Exactly. He’s a very underrated actor.
ironfae I always loved Jenny
Is that Barry Peppers character?
TheRedvapor No it’s the name of the actor who was the big grey haired guard, Brutal.
This is the saddest scene ever put on film and I will forever stand by that
resr in peace Michael Clarke Duncan the real John Coffey 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏
When he just shakes his hand, you can definitely feel that. This movie always makes me cry.
shoulda held on tll his heart stopped, now that is showing love
Me to
n pppp
Same
@@blahblahjumpswing1504 bro are you dumb??
its ok guys, we're all crying
Agree
Yep.
😢😢😢
Me too 😥😥😥
If I said I didn't, would you be angry at me?
This is one of the most saddest scenes that I have ever seen before.
Do you have anything to say? *"I'm Sorry for what I am"* tears started falling down my face 😢

@@tommygarrosh2941 who da fuck is that guy?who the fuck are you?
the tol, not some no-mark which is what you are.
@@thetol9254 who are you?
Just a good person trying to do the right thing in a world too wicked and bent to accept him. And a man of color trapped in a system of oppression. Tragedy on so many levels
This has got to be one of the most magnificently acted scenes ever filmed. Very haunting indeed.
Totally agree.The part where Tom Hanks says roll on 2,it can be heard in his voice that he was trying really hard to hold back his tears,i think Hanks should have won the oscar in 2000 for best actor just for that scene alone.I can't think of another actor that can pull off an acting performance as phenomenal as that.The Green Mile is an absolute masterpiece and imo the greatest Stephen King movie ever.It's a shame they don't make films like this anymore.
@@hoichiman2385 Couldn't have said it better, my friend.
@@hoichiman2385 ikr, they have better Filming equipment, cgi, and everything yet I have yet to see emotionally painful as this one
I finally watched it and felt like I literally missed a big part of my childhood I love tom hanks and Duncan such a master piece and yes I cried at this scene as did everyone else 😢
Oh My God ,I am crying ,
John had to feel the pain of the world. He was exhausted. This was mercy to free him from his curse.
Whoever says he didn't shed tears while watching this scene, know that he's lying.
How Michael Clarke Duncan never won an Oscar for this, I'll never know. Utterly heartbreaking. Beautifully acted.
Very true
Racial prejudice

trxpstxr I agree with napps
Audiences: Stephen King is only good in horror King: Get me some new paper for the typewriter
Some of his best stuff has nothing to do with anything supernatural. The Body was phenomenal
It was still a horror just not jump scares or ghosts or resurrecting the dead it shows the horror of the real world and what black people faced and still face to this day
This is made by stephan King?
Well only dells execution was a horror apart from that just sadnesd and funniness
The serial novels it's based on were writing by King. They're great to.
It’s crazy how Stephen King can make you so disturbed and disgusted in one story, then crying your eyes out mext😅, bro knows his stuff on storytelling!
Heartbreaking, deeply sad movie. Knowing what I know now if the movie was heartbreaking before, now it crushes your spirit besides breaking your heart.
When you leave a full cinema, you can hear a pin drop and everyone is in tears you know you’ve just witnessed something very special that has connected with everyone there.
And it didn’t even matter the movie was 3+ hours long...
So true 💯💯💯
I'm going to I'll police officers in this world.

“There’s lots of folk here that hate me, lots...” “We don’t hate you” “Please don’t put that thing on me boss, I’m afraid of the dark”
Well feel what we feel.. we dont hate you
That scene hit home more than i thought it would😭
@@yung_freaks I agree! 😭
@@vincent7096 ❤😭
When he told he's scared of the dark I cried like a little baby! How so sweet he was, people never deserved John Coffey
My body felt like it was about to expel so much bad… That’s how this scene made me feel. I could not kill this man. The acting is impeccable.
One of the most beautiful scenes of empathy on film... Its definately up there. The cops who were in charge of the execution all knew he was innocent, but the judge and court id public opinion found him guilty.. even with the girls avenged. So tragic.... The acting, cinematography and music here were all on point. Fair play
Rest in peace Michael Clarke Duncan, the real John Coffey.😥
It’s been over a decade already :( I will never forget my reaction when it happened.
:((( rest in place
The real John coffey was George Stinney, his case inspired this movie
@@Ghostrider-ul7xn thought it was Joe Winney

Such an emotional scene. You can see the reluctance of the officers as well as sadness. They know it's wrong
I was crying like a little bitch the hole time. Such a goddam emotional scene.
i’m creeped out, i just liked you comment to 666 likes while John is saying “i’m in heaven”
