John Coffey (Movie)

==Summary==
John Coffey is the deuteragonist of the 1996 Stephen King book and 1999 movie The Green Mile.
In 1935, Coffey was imprisoned in the Cold Mountain Penitentiary in Louisiana, framed for the rape and murder of 2 young white girls, which was a crime he did not commit. But he's really polite, cordial, and emotional. He also has powers of light and good, the ability to heal others, using it on Paul Edgecomb to cure his bladder infection, and the cancer-infected wife of Warden Hal Moores, head of the death row prison. Coffey's explanation of his powers is that he "took it back".
Towards the end, William Wharton, another incarcerated criminal, grabs Coffey's arm with futility and John Coffey sees that Wharton is actually responsible for the rape and killing of the two girls. When corrupt prison guard Percy Wetmore gets released from his punishment, Coffey seizes him and regurgitates the warden's wife's disease into him, making him permanently catatonic, and Wetmore shoots and kills Wharton. Coffey shows Edgecomb the truth.
After Wetmore is admitted into Briar Ridge Mental Hospital as a patient, Edgecomb asks Coffey what he wants him to do and Coffey explains to Edgecomb that he wants to be executed and die so he can finally rest in peace from the cruelty and pain of the world. But he does want to watch a movie before he dies, which he does.
