Simply A Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1999)

As I entered the movie theater this Tuesday for a free screening of the Green Mile at my college I'll admit my anticipation was high. I left the theater with that anticipation fulfilled and then some. The Green Mile is the great follow up to the other novel to movie compilation of Darabont and King. There is once again great character development in that you feel for the characters involved. You are in essence there and that is what makes it so special. On top of that you have various ideas and morals also expressed in the movie. These vary from the questions of guilt to the relevance of what punishment is fair and humane. Although I can not account for the accuracy of King's novel and the Darabont's movie I would imagine it being accurate to the book. What I do know is that the movie itself is worth your price of admission and then some. If you enjoyed the Shawshank Redemption then do not hesitate to see this as well. When the movie hits theaters nationwide on December 10, I will be there to catch this absolutely great movie once again.
