Superb Acting by So Many in One Film

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2000)

It is not commonplace to see so many actors whose performances were deserving of academy award nominations.
The miracles and themes I'll leave to all the other reviewers to comment on BUT Sam Rockwell who played Wild Bill was outstanding. If he doesn't get an academy award nomination for his part in this film, then the whole system must be "fixed". I ditto the above for:
Michael Duncan- - as John Coffey. Michael Jeter--Eduard Delacroix Doug Hutchison--Percy Wetmore
Tom Hanks and Gary Sinese were both outstanding.
Tom Hanks is so youthful appearing that Bonnie Hunt looked as if she were Tom's mother rather than wife. Overall, I found the film very depressing but fast-paced with very tender moments. One could literally feel the pain of those who suffered.
this film is personally rated 8.3
