A real Masterpiece...

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2009)

From the director of 'The Shawshank Redemption' {Frank Darabont} comes another masterpiece 'The Green Mile'. I absolutely loved it. Everything about this film stands out, be it acting, directing, cinematography and above all the story {adapted from the novel by Stephen King}. This film made me feel for the characters. I don't shed a tear watching a movie often but this made me cry pretty bad, it was that moving. With over 3 hrs you would think it was boring but believe me you won't move while watching. I can't gather enough superlatives to describe this movie. The dialogue in this film was simple yet deeply penetrating. Also has one of the best finishing lines EVER, "But, oh, God...sometimes...the Green Mile seems so long."{As someone said: A gift is not always a blessing} It was mesmerising, powerful, beautiful, brilliant and miraculous at the same time. It doesn't get better than this. I liked it more than 'Shawshank'...Now that says something since 'Shawshank' is in my Top 5 list. This will remain one of my all-time favourites for a long time. Highly recommended.
9.9/10
