Good,long, movie

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2000)

The Green Mile is a wonderful film full of great performances and emotions but, I have a couple of quibbles with it.
1. In 1930's America, John Coffey (as a black man) would have been strung from the nearest tree WITHOUT benefit of trial and jury for the heinous crime that he was accused of. (I definitely had to suspend dis-belief concerning this part of the story).
2. As many others have stated the movie is far too long. It could have been shortened to two hours.
3. The movie could have been just as enjoyable without the mouse. I thought that the mouse was a distraction to the main story.
That's all. 7/10
