The Green Mile - John Coffey's Execution

[rickkmurray]

this here...was the first movie I broke down into tears. And still stays as the saddest scene in any film I have ever seen

[badturkali]

bet you they were crying just like that after john wayne gacy and ted bundy

[adamskiboy528491]

THE SADDEST SCENES EVER KNOWN TO MAN!!!!!

[simon22908]

Seven times I have seen this movie, and seven times I cried myself dry. John Coffey is the best.

[bhenno2009]

he's six feet under!!!!! :P :P :P

[nightlyfrost]

D: gah!!!! im 22 and i still cry over this movie specially this scene!

[124Allard]

What a beast is this guy!

[MrHEC381991]

7:05

the brightest light went out that night...

[prioryy]

like the girls he got killed with love...

fuck love!!!

[Tornaadje]

:'(



[staggaz32]

It's so beautifull these old school men try so hard not to cry. Also Duncan should of won the Oscar for his peformance.

[twinkstance]

if i were there id do my very best to stop the execution or put a plan to fake it all. and release him afterward in secret or w/e i just could NOT let it happen so sad this is.... i hate humanity to its very core and hate it to be part of it myself... how can we have a feeling called vengeance? how did this word even come to exist.. why would we want to bring pain to something that has happened already? something irreverseable... it was all made up for others to '' learn '' from others mistakes.

[flairross]

one day when we all stop just following orders we will be free we have this stupid hive mind freedom of thought will set us free.its happening slowly nobody believes the propaganda that the main stream media feeds us any more we can see through the lies.fuck the paracites who condition us .freedom to all

[flairross]

man this world is sick.I hope there is a heaven and people who have been done wrong find peace.man why do we hate each other so much one day we will find peace and harmony?

[2010Barbon]

@flairross shut up you twat! no only kiddin. Yeh its a sick world.

[783Jason]

Im still crying :(

Very sad ..........

Im 15 and cant describe what im feeling when i see this......

[DraculaCronqvist]

Very good scene BUT it would have been even better with John being guilty of the crime. Because the point is, the death penalty is inhuman, no matter if the delinquent did or didn't do it.

[Vyomesh1984]

I watched this scene so many times..

I still break down...

Every...damn...time



[pRoUd2BeAgIrL]

oh come on. who dislikes this!?

[DwightKoh93]

@pRoUd2BeAgIrL KKK?

[Honeybowtie]

Excuse me,no offence,(I love this film) but you`ve spelled "Coffee incorrectly..he said himself,it`s spelled like the drink"

[iBlackphone]

@Honeybowtie haha, no it's not. What he said is: ''John Coffey, like the drink but then spelled differently''. so it's NOT 'coffee'. 'Coffey' is the right way to spell it.

[Honeybowtie]

@iBlackphone Put your phone down.

[Honeybowtie]

@iBlackphone Oh,you`re right,.^_^.

[Qleap]

The saddest movie moment, what I ever saw. :((((((((

[freddiezante08]

Like if you have just cried

[TheRockstarnumber1]

3:53 the moment they realize they're are killing a man that is like an innocent child :(

[adamskiboy528491]

No matter what age you are, this scene will make you cry like a girl!

[drkahara]

The most amazing thing in this movie, at least in my opinion, is how John Coffy touched everyone's hearts.

[rblanco666]

Stephen King objects to the death penalty so strongly he wrote a story where Jesus was executed.

[DeathStar9903]

great movie and this is iats greatest scene<3

[Tarateesh]

I laughed when they killed this big black monkey O:

[Kirbsterkun]

normally I don't cry at movies. The only one I've cried at is when Tom Hanks loses Wilfred in castaway (Yeah about a Freaking ball but ah well) but this ending scenes made me do the stereo typical sexy cry, the blank emotionless face and the single tear goes down ones face truly a 'manly' moment ha ha ha

[unseenforce10]

i cryed when i first saw this an still get emotional about this scene :(

[milousoda]

Never before have I been moved so much by a film. One of the most touching scenes ever. Bawled my eyes out.

[manfob22]

When I see this scene it's like if I should be killed my best friend....I am crying, everytimes I see this movie :'(

[MrKaimon1111]

true im not a cryer but i totally cried half this movie :)

after watching this its like...f*ck titanic

[TheNoteRemote]

I am crying my eyes out. When he took his hand... I can't take it... T____T

[EarthboundErik007]

"He killed them with their love. That's how it is all over the world."

Never will a line hit me harder than that. Goes through my heart like a bullet. :(

[cfcgav100]

Have you watched the film Carolina Skeletons? Based on the true story of George Stinney, a 14 yr old black kid wrongly accused of the murder of 2 white girls in 1944 South Carolina. He was the youngest person ever to get the electric chair. Named Linus Bragg in the film. This is so much sadder than The green mile because its true and makes you see how disgustingly evil people can be

[scraps992]

@cfcgav100 I have and that movie sucked. That wasn't even the main plot. It was a revenge story.

[adamskiboy528491]

"Roll on 2"

:(

[Reeceyboyashestoashe]

OMG I HAVE STARTED CRYING SO SAD TO SEE HIM LIKE THIS A SAD FILM

[MrMuuahh]

tycker inte han borde ha dött ;/ visst han var dum men han räddade frun och musen ..

[Smushless]

God...

Oh man I ain't going to lie, I just nearly broke down watching this. I can't even see the keyboard from too much tears in my eyes. I hate watching this yet somehow I'm drawn to how powerful it is. One of my favorite movies!

[StupidToyDowelz]

God i still cry every freakin' time i see this. this...inocent creature, this gentle giant, this this.....miracle of god, is killed for something billy did, and the worst part is, he wants to die, he wants to end the pain, the suffering, and now, he got his gift, but only after he finds friends and a man who calls him his own, thumbs up for john coffey

[MDGamer500]

this is one the saddest films in the history of the planet :(

[21Rushisaband12]

1st time i watch this, they take him out his cell; i'm tense. they walk him down to the room and he talks about his dream, i really start to tear up, as they're strapping him in the seat i'm reaching for tissues, the instant he says, "please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark, I'm afraid of the dark" boy i lost it, i cried so hard i ran my tear ducts dry, or so thought, and as he says "he kill 'em with their love" you couldn't imagine how much a grown man could cry

[21Rushisaband12]

im am FUCKING TIRED OF CHEVY COMMERCIALS FUCK YOU CHEVY AND FUCK YOUR COUCH!!!!! i'm gonna buy a ford or dodge because you ruined every video i tried to watch

[Legomax18]

@21Rushisaband12 so true. Chevy sucks, and their incessant advertising sucks even more. i wish there were more people like you. lol

[skunkFU25]

@Tarateesh and so do u

[SuperTomcat105]

I admit I cry all the time on this scene! I try to see if I can get use to seeing this but it weighs heavily in my heart! So yeah I cry every time I see this movie! Anybody who cries on this scene means they have a heart.

[DJBANNANA98]

@badturkali no the only other film i cried at was cast away great movie, gets me every time

[DJBANNANA98]

This is one of the only movies ive ever cried at. I love this movie. When he gave the order i cried a lot.

[badturkali]

@DJBANNANA98 what about titanic, gladiator and shawshank redemption ? i love the green mile, its a brilliant film

[lenchiklet]

3 epic parts in an epic scene

1. when dean started crying

2. when he says "i's afraid of the dark"

and finally when he took his hand

a true movie.

[HirstyXD]

he really did not deserve it. Revenge dosent bring them back so why do it :(

[Kane16802]

@HirstyXD i know, john was innocent

[IIBULLE7BENDRII]

i feel bad sor this boy dying he did'nt deserf to die

I LOVE YOU JOHN COFFEYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­<3

[majafaja999]

they both would've been great in the shrimpin business

[XzorlachX]

("Scientifically" speaking, the film 'The Champ' boasts the saddest movie scene of all time, according to researchers who concluded that The Champ's heart-walloping punch has never been equalled.)

I agree that the Champ was really sad. Still, I think The Green Mile is the #1 saddest movie of all time.

[11mrjarjar]

this the first movie i cried too! it is just plain sad! :'/

[92af]

The Green Mile is much better than The Godfather is

[ReconRaptor]

This move makes me cry like a little girl.

[sparten771]

@ReconRaptor lol he died by electric

[l1ghts8bR]

that electric chair is to suffering

[scrybka]

@l1ghts8bR the electic chairs great some people definitly deserve it

[dtvhr]

Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, a truly amazing, worthy of award winning, actors :)

[gooch0113]

this movie is the greatest movie i have ever seen next to titanic! Even though it is only a movie, it still gets me every time. "it happens all over the world"

[cod2367]

this movie made me cry the most of all the movies ive seen so far,too bad they dont make movies like these anymore

[da40flyer1]

The line "I's afraid of the dark" as he's about to be executed is one of the most gut wrenching, painful things I've ever heard in a movie.

[17imola]

Only 2 movies made me crie. Titanic and The Green Mile.

[racingfan1083]

@17imola what about cast away? never seen the scene were he lost Wilson?

[CharBieber]

I havent seen this movie since I was a little girl and I remember crying my eyes out to it then, about 10 years later, I'm in the same position.

[binhboong2008]

Only 2 movie made me cried. The Green Mile is one of these. The second is Russian movie: "Fate of a Man".

[PhaatPaat]

i walk around the streets of my town like im some tough untouchable guy, but im sat here alone crying my eyes out to this. Its funny how a short clip of a film can play with your emotions.

[2k9lukec]

Ive watched this film that many times bcz its that good nd I still feel a lump in my chest at this scene

[thestig1802]

always makes me cry....always

[chriswharfe42]

i dont care how old i am,, 45 and love this bit and cry like a 3 year old :( fuk man xxx ur a dood

[Tarateesh]

@chriswharfe42 fagg.

[Valuablebraathen568]

i know they are supposeto say "..may god God have mercy on your soul" but i think that this is one of the few times they REALLY ment it.. poor man

[Yasirlicious]

will there a single time i wont cry watching this ?

[FlashTwister]

7 People had no sponge.

[DeMassaro]

this is the only film where I had to cry ever

[CubsinNY]

I always completely lose it when Paul steps forward and shakes Coffey's hand.

[Kizzamore95]

i hate it when he says that hes afraid of the dark cause i always cry :(

[pumpkill]

@Kizzamore95 same! Its so sad

[Nuclear793]

i think that was gods angel. must be in big shit for killing gods angel

[MutishWings21]

no mater how many times i see this scene i always cry

[QAndJMovies2]

7 people are fucking idots who have no souls

[Evildead2fan]

"He killed them with they love. That's how it is every day, all over the world" Gets me all the time. I can't help but start crying

[skezza]

This along with the scene when Paul Edgecomb asks Coffey what he should when he stands before god on his day of judgement is the best sequence in the entire movie. It makes a good movie brilliant. I still think the real great scene is the one where Edgecomb asks Coffey what to do though? "On the day of judgement, when I stand before God and he asks me why I killed one of his miracles, what do I say? It was my job? My job?" great quote.

[sugarrtunes]

I would never want to watch anyone be killed, horrible:( even if they murdered someone I loved maybe I would want them dead but I still wouldn't want to watch.

[lilyleef]

horrible.so,so,sad.i cried.



[FreeNYoungSoul]

this movie deserves a 100 of oscars!..its better than titanic!

[PrettySkitty16]

This is the ONLY movie that ever made me cry, oh no, here it goes again ;O;

[heartsno1fan]

in a way tom hanks is pontius pilate

[TheThiboow]

i saw that movie at school its not funny and surely not what that percy or something did

[mapmonster]

@assyrianzowapride wow man ur hardcore!!!!!!!!!!

[assyrianzowapride]

@mapmonster better then crying

``cries``

[cookiegate]

Actually this was pretty much the Jesus Christ story altered. He mad a big retarded black man Jesus. This was the scene of the Crucifixion. I guess thats why they ran him (King) over with that truck.

LoL

[blues9934]

honestly i never really found it that sad

[sergeantfan]

When Coffey says "Please Boss" at 3:42....I can't help myself. I weep like hell. I'm against the death penalty and always will be. Two wrongs never make a right

[sanemcelikcim]

holy shit... :(((

[qwerty2000000]

this will make any MAN cry. i know it made me and i hardly ever cry

[blueleaf1717]

poor poor john, i don't know if any of the other guards apart from paul knew he was innocent but even if they did they wernt as sad as he was because they were too racist back then to be sad for a black man - unbelievably sad scene :(

[noobguyg]

anyone who down rates this vid is a very soulless person

[th3king619]

hey i lasted til the end :(

[8CaptainHowdy]

My eyes got watery, very watery, beginning at 3:54.

Then I began to quiver and sniffle a little at 4:33.

Next, seeing Harry's face at 5:17 got me looking like him, or pretty close.

The line at 6:09 finally broke me. I had to look away.

[kigger622]

"i'm sorry for what I am."

[PookeoResurrected1]

I watched this whole thing, and bawled my eyes out, just watching this part alone doesn't really make you cry.. But I tried it for myself, hell I cried.

[yeehaw789]

for the people who didnt cry, u have to watch the whole movie then youll cry rivers.

[305sono]

its so sad.he is'nt so danger like the people say. :(

[warbirds2895]

had to pause this movie every 10 seconds to try to keep myself from crying. still didnt stop me

[jaimeexd]

legends..never die..='(

[SuperSchweinsteiger2]

@dynamo69 youre absolutly right, the abillity to cry has nothing to do with male or female or to be weak. It shows if you still have a soul.

[kevinDMC12]

if a man does not cry here before this film is that he is a liar

[rekbru]

a would like even more this scene if tom hanks cried

[greenstreetelite456]

@rekbru he was if you look closely

[TheDoingYourMom1]

@greenstreetelite456 yeah i realized about that a few minutes after making that comment haha but he still didn't cried like the other guards. whatever, it's a great movie no matter what.

[conan656]

I will admit it. I cried like a baby. And I get into fights and shit all the time. Mo shame crying to this movie

[wiseidiot5763]

I don't very much like their state law

[sxebren]

and thus,

he has ressurected on the 3rd day,

by chuck norris

[dynomo69]

They say that true men don't cry, but I say your not a true man if you don't cry at the end of Green Mile!

[8CaptainHowdy]

@dynomo69

Amen!

[RedDeadProductions1]

its sad but i dont cry 

[xxmrcoolmanxx]

@RedDeadProductions1 lol, impossible.

[RedDeadProductions1]

@xxmrcoolmanxx how

[1MissKarlieStarr]

"I's afraid of the dark!" I lost it right there :(

[Hairysteed]

@1MissKarlieStarr That line just broke me!

[LUTHR0N]

@1MissKarlieStarr

Yeah me too, jesus christ this is sad...

[ajaxgotpwnd]

what did he do?

[JayJayGrady4U]

@ajaxgotpwnd ..nothing, that's why it is so sad....he was convicted of a crime he did not commit.......they think that he was the one who raped and murdered two little girls, when he was really trying to save their lives.....

[smursncody]

@ajaxgotpwnd *SPOILER* He was accused of murder, although he never actually killed anyone as you learn later in the movie *SPOILER*

[MissyAMAT]

i must have a heart of steel if everyone cries when Dean does. I start to weep when he asks not to be left in the dark, and outright cry when Paul shakes his hand

[vPhazee]

Cried My Fucking Eyes Out.

[DaGirlWithDaHat]

omg I love this movie so much,i always cry after this scene :'(

[corith21]

Man, when that man and his wife are saying shit like that, I just wanted to tie cinderblocks to their feet and throw them in a river.

[Lopplt]

@corith21 You do not quite grasp the concept of this movie.

[dapunk78]

i never cry but this made me ball

[dzidka111]

still21timberwolves just because i cryied it dosent mean that iam gay ;/ evryone can cry can they ?? well then fuck off !!!!

[DickTundra]

this makes me laugh.

[rtuyin]

omg this whole scene makes me cry but the one that makes me cry the most is when they are about to put the black hood on his head and he pleads to not put him in the dark cause he's afraid of the dark :'( i just lose it at that moment.

[mistrace]

he was an angel that God wanted back....... 

[Evoltunion]

@mistrace omg then god is an selfish fucking bitch! He only think of what he loves the most! FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING RELIGION!!

[mistrace]

@Evoltunion lol calm down dude, it's not like the real actor is dead or anything...

[Arrested101]

One of the saddest scenes in film history. And such an epic film!

[BIGand2PacRIP]

Watching this movie u can not help but cry at the end... I cry everytime I watch it

[Gooofyness]

i remembered when i first saw this scene....i cried so much

[Tikirocker]

The first part when he's telling the guards about his dream makes me so happy :)

But then when the actual execution happens, I just lose it.

In my opinion, it's easier to hold your tears if you just watch this scene, but if you watch the WHOLE movie, and then watch this scene, you just lose it.

[MrAmazingScott]

Makes me cry all the time 

[boddewyn]

i cant control my tears when he sais "I'm sorry for who i am" ;(

[Terminator860]

@boddewyn Yeah the dirty paedo i hope they fried his ass twice!! haha

[bassy21]

when dean started to cry dats wen wryone started to cry :(

[kysersoze12]

@bassy21 he was crying at 1:37 but I didn't cry upto then atleast :).

[ghostbusterfan63]

the most sad death ever...

[ghostbusterfan63]

i lost it when that guy and his wife started talking and he sat down in the chair i couldnt watch this.... :'( :'(

[CubsinNY]

I can somewhat control my emotions up until when Paul steps forward and shakes Coffey's hand..then I completely lose it and the tears start flowing like no other.

[EdMahoney19]

In observing his innocence, the police violated their duty by electricuting an innocent man.  Also, at the end of the movie, why wasn't the Warden's wife also living a long life since she was also healed by John? If the mouse was alive, certainly she would be alive too.

[CrAZeDsoLdDieR]

@EdMahoney19

But what were they suppose to say, they believe he is innocent because the saw it by a magical connection? Don't forget that this is also 1930's America. Since he was black I think they would still order him to be executed, for public interest. I believe this makes the ending that much sadder.

 IDK about the wife though. I think she was alive during the ending of the novel.

[EdMahoney19]

@CrAZeDsoLdDieR I didn't read the novel. I'll check it out though. With regard to him obtaining a pardon, they could easily fabricate evidence. Cops do that all the time.

[turricaned]

@EdMahoney19 If you got around to reading the book, you'd know that it had more to do with the Sheriff of Trapingus County and the State courts - even if they claimed a cellblock confession from Wharton the State would not pay for a retrial and the Sheriff would not reopen the case. It's likely that the E Block guards would then be fired and Coffey executed by people who didn't know the truth and would make it much more unpleasant for him.

[jk94111]

@CrAZeDsoLdDieR the wife was dead wen he was the old man. he said hed had to watch all his friends die even his wife
