Absolute Brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2003)

I really feel that The Green Mile, which in my book gets a perfect 10, has some unbelievably strong points to the movie. Especially in the end when Michael Clarke Duncan(Coffey) talks of all the terrible things in the world; how he feels it inside him, like glass stuck in an open wound. I do not remember the full quote, but if one views that part of the movie, its as close as it gets to world we live in. When they executed him, I cried my eyes dry, for I finally understood the movie. Its about the beautiful, mysterious things in life, the ones that no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you know, you really can't explain. Where one has to look ever so close to see true beauty. Like seeing your first flower on a warm spring morning. For all of those people that didn't get it, and for the ones that did, for it fits the movie well, I have a quote for you..."We don't know much, and thats a fact" Albert Einstein. We Are so quick to condemn what we do not fully understand, or cast it away. Sadly, in the movie, that was the fate of John Coffey.
