An epic tale of the struggle between good and evil

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2003)

"The Green Mile" is in essence an epic tale of the struggle between good and evil.It is a profound study of human nature and can easily be compared to movies such as "Stand By Me" and "Carrie" which were also based on books by Stephen King and excelled by their astonishing psychological insight. The casting is perfect and the acting outstanding. Tom Hanks of course, who has the rare gift of keeping an audience in his grip by his mere presence alone and hardly needs dialog,is assisted by actors who perform at an equally high level. This movie is drama in its purest form and is often so intense that the viewer is overcome by a deep feeling of sadness. On a lighter note:"The Green Mile" is a "must" for anyone who has a phobia towards mice!
