Almost a copy o Powder!

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2009)

In my "Powder" review I mentioned the similarities between this movie and Powder where the latter was even written years before this one was released. If you see both movies you will know what I am talking about. The most charming scenes in the Green Mile are taken from Powder. I am sure that all who watched both remembers quite well the scene where Powder makes the guy who hunts the deer feels the pain of the animal. Exactly same scene when Michael Duncan makes the guy who kills the mouse feel its pain. Another similar scene or idea is when Michael Duncan in the "Green Mile" heals James Cromwel's ill wife which is taken from Powder who helps the Sheriff's wife to deal with her dying process.
I am not saying that the "Green Mile" is not a good movie. On the contrary, I enjoyed it a lot but Powder is a decent one and was made way before the Green Mile so it deserves to be praised being the original at least.
