An AWESOME Movie---The Green Mile

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2007)

An oldster was watching an old film, as the main character,Fred Astaire,sang the song---Cheek to Cheek, he was disaggregated. With his friend, he slowly told of a story happened in 1935, when he was still a jailer...... Stephen King was known for his horror novels, and they have been turned into movies for numerous time. However, those which are the most famous ones, are not horror novels, such as The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile which were directed by Frank Darabont. Not the same as The Shawshank which he made a conte into a two and a half ours movie, this time, he made a thick,thick novel into a three hours movie! As I started watching this film, I was pulled into the story. This was the first time to see Stephen King's movie, and it didn't disappoint me. Although it's a tragedy, as it seems like; I think it presents another kind of happy ending. The background was at the Cold Mountain Gaol in south United State. It's a friendship between Paul Edgecomb, a jailer of condemned cell; and John Coffey, a strapping,condemned dinge. It's really amazing that two people with this kind of wired relationship can be friends. Cause Paul disbelieved a person who was scared of dark and liked playing with mice can kill anyone. In my opinion, put aside the miraculous power of John, the part of talking about the bright and dark side of human nature is much more important. We know too less about ourselves---human beings. As everybody says. there's an angel and a devil in our mind. People's willpower is infirm, we're feeble minded, and we usually don't know. The idea of "being" and "death" carry this movie, and it's also the most touching part. Before John died, he turned his power to Paul. The power made him to lived long, to hear people in the world being grievous, and saw people around died consecutively. At the end of Pual's life was in the bead house, was he pleased to have this power? We don't know, but at lease, he learns a lot.
