The Green Mile

Not much to be said about this impressive film that hasn't been covered by hundreds of other reviewers here. It's a great movie and covers just about all of the aspects that are in the book. Some gripe that it's too long, but if you were to start trimming things the film would really suffer. This movie will touch you and, while quite sad, it makes you sort of take a reflective view of your own life and the inevitable end of that life. I didn't think about that aspect as much when I first watched the movie on VHS years ago, but now that I'm fast approaching 50, it really does give me pause for thought. I don't like this film as much as The Shawshank Redemption, but I suspect that's more because of the sadness of the story and the ending being somewhat more of a downer than Shawshank. It certainly is NOT because of the performances. All of the acting talent here is top shelf. Michael Clarke Duncan, as John Coffey, delivers a truly powerful performance that's equal to Tom Hanks, who turns in yet another of his many memorable turns as prison guard Paul Edgecomb. The supporting players are equally wonderful - especially Mr. Jingles! And I want to give a special shout out here to veteran character actor Dabbs Greer, as the elderly Paul. Except for a couple of small recurring character roles on TV, Greer spent most of his career playing bit parts. Even though his onscreen time in The Green Mile is brief, he demonstrates what a great actor he truly was. Such a shame he never got a chance to be a leading man, but everything happens for a reason, or so they say. And with over 300 film & TV appearances in his 50+ year career, at least we have many wonderful opportunities to catch a glimpse of this fine, underrated actor. The Blu-ray for The Green Mile is well put together: the colors are rich, the focus is sharp and the audio is crisp, clear and nicely balanced. The disc includes a handful of cool bonus goodies to go along with the feature film. You can pick up a nice gently used copy for cheap thru Amazon, so there's no reason not to have this film in your collection! 5 stars for this moving human drama story.

A really good Stephen King classic - and we are really picky about movies made from King's work. This one will rip your heart out.

From the master director Frank Darabont who bought us The Shawshank Redemption; based on the Stephen King novel ‘Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption’. Comes this, Darabonts’ second directorial interpretation of Kings’ work, ‘The Green Mile’. It’s such a human tale, there are things in this world that defy belief and King is a master assisting us in perhaps our wish to imagine and be convinced of the uniqueness in each of us. If you’re looking for a much friendlier heart warming, tear jerking journey than maybe The Shining or Misery. Then let The Green Mile be the one King film interpretation to change your outlook, take the chance to open yourself and others up to Stephen Kings world. Tom Hanks(from Bachelor Party 1984, The Money Pit 1986 and Philadelphia 1993) leads the cast including David Morse(of The Good Son 1993, The Long Kiss Goodnight 1996 and Proof of Life 2000), Bonnie Hunt(from Jumanji 1994, Random Hearts 1999 and Toy Story 3 & 4), Michael Clarke Duncan(star of Armageddon 1998, Planet of the Apes 2001 and Sin City 2005), Michael Jeter(from Waterworld 1995, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 1998 and Open Range 2003), Graham Green(remembered for Dances with Wolves 1990 and Die Hard with a Vengence 1995), Sam Rockwell(Galaxy Quest 1999, Charlies’ Angels 2000 and Moon 2009) and Barry Pepper(Enemy of the State 1998, Flags of our Fathers 2006 and True Grit 2010) star in this heart warming tale of John Coffeys’ last days on The Green Mile. Get comfortable and join in with the cast, for what happens on the mile stays on the mile. In a setting such as death row; this really showcases the benevolence of human kind, which one would think would be difficult to find in such a place. Thank-you Mr. King.
