The epitome of INjustice

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2010)

I am an avid/fanatic movie collector, as I have 400+ Blu-rays & over 400 DVDs. I purchased many of the films upon their initial release on DVD- but have never viewed. During the last couple years, since I began replacing my DVDs with Blu-rays, my only prerequisite to justifying the Blu-ray purchase was to qualify the film on DVD by 1st watching it on DVD... so as not to waste the $$$ on the Blu-ray, too! Most of the films(DVDs) passed the screening & have since graduated onto Blu-raydom.
I was very surprised that The Green Mile didn't make it-given all of the awards & the exceptionally high score here on IMDb! I was so sure it was worthy of Blu-ray status, based on the forgoing, that I wasn't even going to view/qualify it before purchasing the Blu-ray! Now, finally onto the reasoning for my DISlike of The Green Mile. 1st of all, there was NO justice! People/Viewers want (& even demand) justice! John Coffey didn't kill those girls & should NOT have been put to death! Simply put, Paul Edgecomb should have intervened (especially considering the miracles to which he bore witness!) & done ANYTHING within his means to see that the face of justice was smiling. 2nd, the film's look, feel & purpose, which was fine as a drama, did NOT meld well with the supernatural/fantasy genre! Call me crazy, but the ending of a story is 9/10 of the story, itself!
