Fantastic story with more than a hint of magic

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2013)

I love the green mile. The thing that I love most about this film is the wonderful magic that John Coffey possesses - if only it existed! John is such a wonderful character, and I love the feelings that build between him and the guards. The Percy story is great. There is always a really horrible prison guard in any film of this type, and its great when the guard gets his just desserts. He is pure evil! I'm not sure about the ending, where we see the Tom hanks character has grown really old and possesses some of the magic too. I love the twist with wild bill - another fantastically dislikeable character - being the actual murderer. This film has great storyline, great characters, and more than a drop if magic which makes it perfect :)
