I saw The green mile yesterday, and wow I was very astonished. This is really a fantastic movie and sometimes I had the envy to cry when seeing it.
It relates the story of Paul Edgecomb, a former warden who witnessed during the Depression miracles in jail which changed his life forever. He met John Coffey, a physically shaped and tall prisoner who was wrongfully accused of the murders of 2 little girls and unfortunately sentenced to death. This guy, a very kind person despite his threatening shape, was in reality a healer who cures with Faith, and he did miracles, like resurrecting a mouse who was crushed by a rebellious warden, curing the wife of Edgecomb's friend (who was in the death article) and of course curing Paul's painful urinal infection.
But the most important thing that happened, is when Paul took the hand of John Coffey after he resurrected the mouse. It gave him almost immortality, cause in the end, Paul Edgecomb told his girl friend that he was 108 years old, and I was surprised for a man who takes walks outside with such shape and age. Unfortunately, all of his friends he had and loved, including his wife, died while he grew older and older. The green mile is a very long road to take...
The green mile is a very fantastic and fabulous movie that everyone should watch, cause you'll like it and maybe cry.
