Like Pieces of Glass In My Head

This is a scene from the movie "Green Mile" where the main character John Coffey is talking to prison guard Tom Hanks about the ugliness in the world and says, "You tell God, the father, it was a kindness you done. I know that you're hurtin and worse. I can feel it on ya. But you outa quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired boss. I'm tired of being on the road lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having 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. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?" I had originally thought that he had said, "It's like glass in my face."

"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."

On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job?

that question should be asked by many... the USA should as themselves this especially for allowing abortion

Why...?

ON the DAY of my judgement when I stand before God and he'd asks of me 'Why.. did I.. did I kill one of his... [creations] What am I going to say? That it was "my job"?

That question should be asked by many -and not just Policemen- before harming and destroying God's beloved creations, lives and more on this Earth and beyond.

Fantastic film, I remember how truly powerful this was when I first watched it

@92af Why are you even comparing the Dark Knight to this? They are 2 completely different films.

[92af]

The Green Mile is much better than The Dark Knight is

I Don't believe in anything supernatural in anyway but this scene nearly makes me cry every time I see it

[MsFerris21]

If only more people were like John ... this is one of many scenes from this movie that makes me cry.... Stephen King is a genius & Tom Hanks & Michael Clarke Duncan are perfectly cast!

One of the most precious scenes I have ever seen in a movie. Just beautiful.
