Read the book too!

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 1999)

I just got home from this movie. What a brillant screenplay! The only movie that has ever enhanced the book and vice versa this well is the Godfather. There are scenes that are exclusive to the book that increase your understanding of the characters and situations. That is typical, but the amazing thing about this movie is that when it veers away from the novel, it actually enhances the book as well! This film deserves the numerous Academy Award nominations that it surely will get. I never thought that after seeing Forest Gump and Philadelphia that The Green Mile would be Tom Hanks best performance, but it really was. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!
