Mystifying

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2006)

I know a lot of people that complain about the running time for this film, bu i didn't even notice, i didn't want it to end, 3 hours wasn't enough. I looked at the time of how long it had been going a bit of the way in, and its said 2 Hours 15 Minutes, and i was astounded! It felt like half an hour!
I came to the conclusion, that Frank Darabont must be a genius, he isn't up there for consistency with people like Spielberg and Kubrick, because he only has done 2 good films. But those films aren't just good. They are masterpiece's. When Darabont is at his peak, he's one of the best directors alive.
Green Mile is sublime, Tom Hanks is amazing, as usual, Barry Pepper and the rest of the supporting cast are great, but the main character is "Old Sparky". The electric Chair. The film is all about what this thing can do to people's lives, and how it affects everyone.
Fantastic.
