Profound and wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2007)

It isn't often that a movie stays with me for years after first seeing it; but The Green Mile certainly did. It's uplifting story and wonderful acting as well as its' religious overtones make it one of the most memorable and profound movies that I have ever seen. Kudos to Frank Darabont for giving us two of the greatest movies I have seen: this and The Shawshank Redemption. And a special mention to the genius of Stephen King on whose stories both movies are based. I will never forget either one of them. They rise so far above the usual pulp that comes out of Hollywood; whether mindless chick flicks or movies that glorify violence. No cheesy special effects here; only great storytelling and wonderful acting. Thank God once in a while those of us with some intellect can feast on films like these.
