Amazingly breathtaking, emotional & human.

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2000)

I've just seen the film a couple of hours ago and I still have that "post emotional" feeling I sometimes get after watching an emotionally intense film. It's one of those movies that really leaves a mark on you. A must if you ask me. Last time I felt something like this was right after I watched Gregg Araki's "The Doom Generation" (and "Nowhere").
The quality of "The Green Mile" is not surprising at all since it's been proven that Frank Darabont, given a good story to work with and professional, experienced actors, can make a truly magical piece of art. He did it last with "The Shawshank Redemption", and "The Green Mile" seems very similar to it, only I thought it a little better. "The Shawshank Redemption" didn't make my eyes moist like this one did.
Some might find the film a bit long. Like my dad said - they could have spared us some details and make it just two hours instead of two and a half, but I believe it only made the climax more intense.
I hate any kind of spoilers, and so I won't discuss the plot.. but I would strongly recommend this to any person that is emotional. Anyone that is aware of his heart would be touched by "The Green Mile".
