The best film I've ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (25 February 2004)

I was 12 years when I saw it for the first time. When I went into the cinema I had no clue what's gonna happen and what's this movie about. My Dad suggested watching it and I agreed because I admire Tom Hanks.
But what I saw blew me away. I've never seen a film that was so amazing. In general I'm not a very sensitive person who cries often, but since I watched it for the first time I've been crying anytime when I saw it.
After the I had seen the movie I read the book and it was the first time that a movie was as good as the original story. It's also very hard to to as well as Stephen King and to produce emotions and fear like he does. But this very movie succeeded in doing both.
It's also because of its great story and its amazing characters. The whole movie is not just about one single person as you might think. You get to know about the story and the situation and the destiny of every single character.
It was the first movie that made me cry. When you watch it you just don't simply "watch" it. You become part of it. You can feel the anger and the hatred that is felt by the wardens against this damn Percy and you can fell the pain John Coffey has. It touches you so much when Coffey says that he never had a friend to tell him where they should go. You wish to be his friend. You wish you tell him that he's the most fantastic person you've ever met in your entire life.
The end drives the emotions to the peak. John Coffey: Sorry for what I am. What do you say, John? You are one of the true miracles! Don't apologise for yourself. And when Hanks comes towards Duncan and touches his hand and Duncan thinking "He killed them with their love for each other" you're gone.
You can't understand why such an amazing person wants do die and doesn't like himself.
I can't understand when people complain about this movie. Mostly about its length. But imagine this movie was 2 hours, would it be that good? Would you really realise what it's about?
I don't think so. In my opinion this is the best film I've ever seen, and it will always be my favourite film.
