The Green Mile (1999) Film Review

The Green Mile (1999) Film Riview


Starring
Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb
David Morse as Brutus Howell
Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey

Director: Frank Darabont

After Shawshank Redemption everyone was expecting another good movie from Frank Darabont. And he did not disappoint. With Tom Hanks in the lead role. the green mile is a brilliant movie.

Like Shawshank Redemption the film is primarily set in an infirmary where the fellas who have been sentenced for execution are sent. They are in "E block" I guess it is Execution Block.

Different staff working there have different characteristics. While Edgecomb and guards have matured with experience, greenhorn like Percy Wetmore treats the inmates in a real bad way. And he continues to do so with his connection. Things changes when an giant inmate named Coffey come into E Block. He has been charged with rape and murder of two girls. The guards at Eblock soon started feeling the miraculous power of Giant Coffey.

What will happen will they execute Coffey Or not ?
Will Coffey will be able to do miracle one after another ?

watch the movie to find out.

Some of the brilliant dialogues from the film are

Edgecomb- We each owe a death, there are no exceptions. But, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long.

John Coffey, only not spelled the same.

John Coffey- Awful tired now, boss. Dog-tired.



My score 9.2 out of 10
