If this movie is this great, I have to see Shawshank NOW!

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2002)

Well, its been 20 minutes since I finished watching "The Green Mile", and I am still trying to take it all in. Now, I don't really need to get into the story as the last 700+ reviews have probably stated the plot for the whole film, so I'm just going to get into the pros and cons. What is great about on the whole for this film is the character development. I could comment on the actors whose names I can't remember, but Michael Clarke Duncan gives one of the most sympathetic performances in film I have seen. It is his performance which, ashamedly, brought this 18 year old male to tears, which is a hard task indeed. The only thing wrong with this film, is the 3 hour time limit. Simply put, the first hour is quite slow and drags on, but the last 2 hours gave everlasting questions about the world and life, forever on my mind.
From what I've heard, this movie is from the writer/director of "The Shawshank Redemption", which I've heard is a far superior film, which if true, I must see. 9/10
