Violence & Gore
-
- In the botched execution scene violence is actually quite tame, however it is still very disturbing. In this scene there is no visible blood.
- Quite a few executions by electric chair. One is botched.
- An inmate attempts to kill a prison guard by strangulation. He kicks other guards in the process. One guard intervenes before the inmate kills anyone.
- Due to a purposefully botched setup, an inmate being executed in the electric chair is zapped for a long time. His body convulses, and flames erupt on his body and under his death hood as he screams. The scene lasts several minutes.
- A man cradles the bodies of two dead girls, their hair matted with blood. Their father bloodlessly punches him across the face a few times before he is pulled away.
- An antagonist is shot in the chest, some blood and bullet wounds appear on his shirt as he slumps down dead.
- A prisoner elbows one guard and chokes another with handcuffs (a bit of blood spurts from his mouth) before bashing his head on the wall, a bit of blood is on their faces. He then kicks an incoming guard in the crotch before another one hits the prisoner twice, knocking him out.
- A mouse is purposely smashed by a shoe, we see some blood around its head/face.
- We see a bit of blood on a door and a small blood trail on a floor.
- An antagonist hits a prisoner once on the fingers with a billy club, it's later brought up that three of them were broken as a result.
- A few punches and a slap or two from angry guards towards an antagonist.
Profanity
-
- Ten uses of "fuck."
- "Fuck", "asshole", and "shit" are used the movie.
- During an execution rehearsal, a man includes "shit" and "motherfucker" in his "last words".
- Five uses of Jesus/Christ/God.
- Percy calls Delacroix a faggot.
- One instance of "nigger."
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The guards are shown drinking at one point in the film.
- One or two brief instances of smoking. Paul and Hal have what may be beer while grilling some food.
- The guards grind up some sort of medication/pills that they put in Wild Bill's beverage to knock him out.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The first execution, while not as violently prolonged as the second, could be hard to watch due to its realism.
- An antagonist attacks some guards early on. In two scenes, a protagonist is shown to be in pain while urinating.
- The kidnap, rape, and murder of two little girls play a role in the plot. The rapes and murders are not shown. The kidnapping, which is accomplished via manipulation rather than brute force, is shown.
Spoilers
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- There are several executions that includes the electric chair (especially a graphic one that goes horribly wrong, takes much longer than usual and results in the prisoner literally being fried) and it is unsettling, disturbing and/or suspenseful.
- The death of John Coffey is very sad and heartbreaking.
- This film is notorious for it's extremely heartwrenching ending. Probably one of the most saddest movies known to man.
- Eduard Delacroix's execution on the electric chair is extremely disturbing and sadistic. Someone sabotages his execution by leaving the sponge dry messing up the conductivity of the electricity. His body goes frying for over two minutes while we hear him scream and fry in agony and we see his burned afterwards.
- John Coffey's death is EXTREMELY sad with the swelling music, sad lines like "I'm sorry for what I am." And "don't put that thing on me boss, I'm afraid of the dark." Which is very saddening, but most of the death isn't shown.
- The execution of John Coffey is EXTREMELY emotional and upsetting, even though most of it isn't shown onscreen.
