We take copyright law very seriously, so you will have to sync up our reaction to your own version of the show/movie. To help, we have a range of guiding tools throughout the reaction to help you sync up with us, including a small snippet of the scene to ensure you are in sync. Any instances in which you see the screen cut, this means we’ve had technical difficulties or have skipped a potential disruptions/bloopers. This means you will need to sync up your copy of the show again, if we are unable to edit these cuts seamlessly into the next scene. An updated timecode will be provided on the screen. Anytime we pause, there will be timer/countdown on screen to prompt you. So if we’re about to pause, there’ll be a countdown, and you are expected to pause as the number reaches 0. The same will happen when we press play after pausing. You will press play as the number reaches 0. Here are some popular ways people sync up the reaction with their own copy of the show:
Use a dual monitor PC setup to watch both screens simultaneously
Use the split screen functions on your computer/phone to watch them side by side
Chromecast / Screenshare one screen to your TV while watching the other screen on a phone or laptop

I've lost track of how many times I've seen this movie and it absolutely wrecks me every time.

Wild Bill isn't the same as "Buffalo Bill." in the Silence of the Lambs movie, they gave the serial killer the nickname Buffalo Bill because he skinned his victims....they gave him that nickname because Buffalo Bill was a real person in American history during the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Interestingly enough, there was another person in history call "Wild Bill Hickok." the two men actually knew each other and performed old Wild West Shows.
These men were during a time when outlaw gangs such as the famous Jessie James gang Bonnie and Clyde were notorious. I grew up and live near Jessie James' home actually. Missouri was neutral during the American Civil War but most of the citizens are confederate sympathies for the south. they would organize privately into gangs called "Bushwackers" and attack Northern Union troops. Famously, a troop of northerners called the "Jayhawkers" (there is a Kansas college football team called the Jayhawks) would ride out from Kansas and skirmish. After the war, these Bushwacker gangs usually would transform into outlaw gangs and rob banks and trains thus leading to "Bloody Bill", Jessie James, the Younger Brothers (one which my middle name comes from), and Billy the Kid. Bill was a very common name lol.
Wild Bill and Buffalo Bill were actually not a part of these outlaw gangs, but they kind of get lumped in as Wild West characters of historical note.

Let me begin by saying that this was a great movie. I've watched it a few times before, and I didn't want to watch it again for fear of having my heart torn out...again. That said, I'm glad that those of you who voted for this film just to them cry didn't get the water-works you were hoping for. You know who you are. 😂😂

Second time watching this. I don't love it as much as others do, but it sure does have pathos to spare. I had a similar experience to Spartan and Pudgey. My parents rented this when I was little, and I wasn't allowed to watch it, but I popped in and out and saw some shit. 😂
This has almost nothing to do with the movie, but let's sort out our Wild West Bills. There's Billy the Kid, the outlaw of whom Wharton has a tattoo. Then there's Wild Bill Hickok, who was a lot of things, but really made his name as a lawman. So, Wharton is offended basically because the guards nickname him after a cop rather than the robber he identifies with. The killer in Silence of the Lambs is Buffalo Bill. I don't remember why--I'm not a big fan, so didn't rewatch it, but maybe because he skins his victims like bison (buffalo) were skinned? Anyway, Buffalo Bill Cody was a kind of Wild West circus showman, and a former bison hunter.
You'll meet one of these Bills if you ever get around to watching Deadwood--worth it!

the risk of bringing in a crippled woman(who is the Warden's wife, so familiar face) into the prison was greater. you'll have to carry her, she might go into a yelling rage fit...Wild Bill might wake up and see her....Percy might look thru the little window and see her...lots of risk.
with Del, I'd say in the heat of the moment, maybe shooting him didn't occur to them...but, I'd say that public executions are ritualistic and ceremonial. I'd say that everyone was trying to pass it off as normal(as they could) to assure the citizens and victim's families that they had control of the situation and that caused them to be more cautious with their actions. They kept talking under their breath and with their backs turned.

Now we need The Shawshank Redemption. Same original novelist. Same director. Absolutely phenomenal film.

And there's a story about Saint Christopher carrying Jesus as a child, which is depicted on the pendant. Also the patron saint of travellers.

This is my third time seeing this movie. I saw so much more than I did the first time. The second time I was doing something else while it was on and didn't catch the whole thing. A lot of good actors. Tom Hanks rarely plays a bad guy. It is hard to imagine being in the southern US back in the 1930s. John was almost guaranteed to get blamed for the girls murders even if they weren't in his arms. I used to believe in the death penalty until DNA started turning up matches that weren't the ones convicted of the crimes. Corruption, politics, bad leadership in law enforcement in some jurisdictions leads to sloppy investigations and imprisoning the wrong people. My problem with our US Justice System is no real reform in prisons. Our prisons are so overcrowded here in the US they have started letting some non violent offenders out. I really do love this movie now. I do love a redemption arc. However, John didn't really need redeeming. Paul had a lot of deaths on his hands, but that was his job. I am grateful many states in the US no longer have the death penalty.

Thnx for answers.
About the inmates though: what inmates? Besides John there was only Wild Bill left, and they were drugging him anyway.
Also, I think they had an extra (visitors) room or something because with the first prisoner they said there were visitors for him (weren't there women among them?). So if they used that room then she didn't have to pass by the other inmates at all.
About those laws (at that time), I didn't know that. It is a bit weird though, the guards were ready to shoot John for example if he tried anything funny.

A great deal of this was filmed at the old Tennessee State Prison in Nashville about 15 minutes from my house. I know several people who were extras.
This is my favorite Stephen King masterpiece.

because she was screaming in pain, unable to walk very well, not to mention she's a woman. Bringing a woman into a prison with a bunch of male criminals isn't smart, especially one that's screaming in pain, which would cause chaos with the inmates. Taking one calm prisoner to someone's house is way easier than taking one sick individual into death row.
To answer the second question, no because firing squad was not legal. Hanging and electric chair were the capital punishments in Louisiana at that time period

Pudgey, in response to the outro, here's a fitting Doctor Who quote for you -
"Hardly anything is evil. Almost everything is hungry. Or did you think your bacon cheeseburger loved you back?"

When John sees the stars and says "It's Cassie in a rocking chair!" I believe he was referring to the constellation Cassiopeia which looks like a chair.

First time I've seen this movie, even though I've heard about it before. Probably the saddest movie I've seen the last couple of years.

S&P, beautiful reaction. To add to your post-viewing contemplation, think about who else has the same initials as John Coffey.

Great reaction! I love this film, its one of my favourites and one of the best films made. Pudgey didn't cry as much of i thought you would 😄and Spartan great analogy about trauma too! Have you seen 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button' ?? That's another film that's great and is well worth a look!

- It's a great movie. Sad, but the kind of sad that I don't mind, if that makes sense. Seeing the concentration camps in BoB was also sad but also made me sick.
- One thing I'm unsure of is why they thought it was "easier" to get John to Melinda, instead of getting her to John. Getting her to him seems much easier to me. I think they gave the reason that Hal would never approve, but I think he would even be less inclined to approve when you show up on his doorstep in the middle of the night with John 😬
- Another thing I'm thinking about is when they saw things were going very wrong with Del's chair, couldn't they have just shot him?
