deakins

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2005)

beautiful overhead shot of prison. Roger Deakins is a god. king has never been treated so soft or tenderly. dialogue is sentimental. Too so? yeah. music is smooth and sweet. the over-all posture stood is unexpectedly tough. green mile was a sad shadow of this previous vastly superior effort.the Brooks Hatlen interlude was a welcome beat. meandering is a virtue. i get lost in it's world for a sec. which is rare. the ending makes me cry. freeman is an exceedingly wonderful actor. strange feelings of elation near ending as if something has occurred. Things which haven't. magic of pure Hollywood-style cinema. samo
