Don't think of it as good or bad

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2000)

As a huge fan of Stephen King. I read the book, The green mile, with wide eagerness towards the upcoming feature. Knowing that Tom Hanks Would play the lead of Paul Edgecombe, I read through the poetry of the book picturing everything through the words of the book. It was like watching the movie in my head. And as I awaited the movie's release in December. I knew that if the movie followed closely to the book, It would be a complete success at the box office.
When December rolled around, I saw the film and was astounded by the way Frank Darabont unlocked the potential of the story. Everything I had pictured in my mind was the exact of what Darabont put on the screen. From the design of Warden Moore's porch to the grim face of Percy Wetmore, the movie made me think that I had already seen it before.
Even though a few parts from the book didn't make the final draft of the movie, I can say without fear that the movie greatly did justice to the book. Now all we can do is wait and hope that the Academy will get their act together and vote for the right movie-the only movie that should win Best Picture. at Cold Mountain Penitentiary in 1932.
