Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2005)

I missed this movie when it first got released just like the other movie Of the great filmmaker Frank Darabont, Shawshank Redemption. Shawshank Redemption had the same setting but dealt with a different story, a man with an indefatigable spirit for life. Now the story at the very outset seems to be quite boring but just like Shawshank, The Green Mile benefits from the fantastic treatment it gets from a fantastic filmmaker. Its a shame that Frank Darabont efforts are not recognized and lauded the way it should have been.Have no doubts that he is one of the finest filmmakers of our generation. The plot is quite moving and each character in the movie has a significant role to play.Tom Hanks is wonderful in the role of a god fearing Senior Jail Guard. The performance which leaves you enthralled though comes from Michael Clark Duncan for which he was rightly nominated for the Academy awards. The cinematography is brilliant and all in all a must watch if you haven't seen it.
