Male buttocks are seen when a prisoner is forcibly undressed by guards.

There is audio of a man and a woman groaning/moaning. Nothing is shown.

A woman references the number of times she had sex in one night.

Quite a few executions by electric chair. One is botched and extremely graphic and is shown in full detail.

An inmate attempts to kill a guard by strangulation, and kicks another guard in the process.

A man is shot in chest 6 times until he is dead. Very bloody and shockingly brutal.

A man cradles the bodies of two dead girls, their hair matted with blood. Their father brutally punches him across the face a few times before he is pulled away.

A flash back shows the murder of two children however it is not fully shown.

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.

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.

F**k, sh*t, and a** are used alongside lesser profanity. Multiple uses of GD.

Wild Bill says the n word.

Profanity starts from the time it goes to the prison scenes. Multiple uses of GD. Couple of uses of homophobic F slur (from antagonist)

Lots of cussing.

Alcohol and tobacco use. One character is drugged.

The second execution is the most disturbing scene in the film as it was purposefully botched causing the victim to catch on fire while convulsing and screaming for several minutes until he is killed.

Many people are highly racist towards John Coffey and towards black people in general. In particular, one man compares black people to dogs. He says that both are incapable of love, and will ultimately turn on you if you trust them too much.

Extremely, extremely sad and heartbreaking. One of the saddest movies ever made. It may cause nightmares even for teens.

The movie is both twisted and sad at the same time.

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.
