Outstanding!

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2001)

I never used to be a fan of Stephen King; I saw "It" when I was little and it scared the heck out of me! I hated it! The only reason why I watched "The Green Mile" was because Tom Hanks was in it.
"The Green Mile" changed my mind about Stephen King. It was wonderful, and Percy was just that character people HATED. Wild Bill I didn't hate so much; he was a looney, and loonies in movies are fun to watch. Brutal is one of my favorite characters because his reactions to Percy are the same that mine would have been. I don't like "cute" a lot, so Mr. Jingles wasn't exactly my favorite part, but I did feel for Del.

This movie changed my mind about the death penalty, because it does come to show that people CAN repent on their fatal mistakes and change. However, there are people like Wild Bill out there that we have to watch out for, but in his case I think he belongs in the mental hospital. ~_^ I recommend this movie, though I have a warning: the executions are kind of hard to take. Prepare yourself.
