I have only one word to say...

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 1999)

...and that word is WOW!
And maybe a few other words as well.
I felt both emotionally drained as well as cleansed by this motion picture.
As for the length of this movie, well, lets just say time stood still for me.
Definitely an Oscar contender if there ever was one.
Outdoes "The Shawshank Redemption" only because of Green Mile's mysticism and spirituality. Shawshank was more of a psychological drama. On the other hand, Green was something out of the Twilight Zone...a bit on the eerie side yet strangely compelling...in a god-fearing sort of way.
Speaking of "The Twilight Zone," this easily could of been one of Rod Sterling's masterpieces, if only he had thought of it first. There are "condemned men scenarios" with equally mystical themes in some episodes of TZ, but nothing could compare with Green.
And now we come to the acting...well, what can I say that will do the actors and actresses justice. I recognized many of the supporting actors and actresses from other movies and tv shows, extremely cool.
In conclusion, I want to say that Green Mile is a memory I will not soon forget (nor would I ever want to forget). It is the best in everything a movie can bestow upon its audience. I am glad for that. There is not many movies out there that can do what Green Mile did in three measly hours.
Thanks, Mr. Hanks, Mr. King and, thank you to everybody who was in and who worked on, this masterpiece.
