Touching Drama

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2007)

The Green Mile is a very touching film that creates memorable characters and takes care of them throughout its life, never neglecting nor smothering them. Darabront does well to bring all these characters into the big screen whilst balancing them perfectly with wonderful side stories along the way. Of course, Stephen King is the creative force behind the plot, and he does well here, delivering a story that is both captivating and mesmerising to watch.
Performances from the cast are all exceptional and I mean all. Tom Hanks has always been a favourite actor of mines as his warmth and real sense of humanity always connect with me and pull me in to his characters. With the Green Mile, Hanks does a wonderful job yet again. Duncan and Jeter also caught my eye quite a lot, portraying their sympathetic characters with complete accuracy.
David Tattersall also does what he does best by delivering wonderful cinematography that is simple yet undeniably interesting to look at from beginning to end. Overall, I loved this film and was in tears by the end. Definitely recommended to anyone and everyone.
