"The book was better" has been the complaint of many a reader since the invention of movies. Frank Darabont's second adaptation of a Stephen King prison drama (The Shawshank Redemption was the first) is a very faithful adaptation of King's serial novel. In the middle of the Depression, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) runs death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. Into this dreary world walks a mammoth prisoner, John Coffey (Michael Duncan) who, very slowly, reveals a special gift that will change the men working and dying (in the electric chair, masterfully and grippingly staged) on the mile . As with King's book, Darabont takes plenty of time to show us Edgecomb's world before delving into John Coffey's mystery. With Darabont's superior storytelling abilities, his touch for perfect casting, and a leisurely 188-minute running time, his movie brings to life nearly every character and scene from the novel. Darabont even improves the novel's two endings, creating a more emotionally satisfying experience. The running time may try patience, but those who want a story, as opposed to quick-fix entertainment, will be rewarded by this finely tailored tale. --Doug Thomas

A beautiful story about hope and love and forgiveness. This is a very heartwarming story that sucks you in the entire time. An innocent man who has the mind of a child is on death row for a murder he did not commit. But throughout the time he awaits execution he has nothing but simple love for all he is in contact with. He has a special gift of healing that hurts himself whenever he uses it. But he selflessly heals others--the same people who are to put him to death (Not their desire..just their "job"). I would encourage anyone to watch this story. This is Stephen King at one of his finest.

This movie, based on Stephen King's book by the same name, is wonderful and moving at the same time. Tom Hanks stars as Paul Edgecomb (the main protagonist in the book) who is a prison guard overseeing the staff that serves the prison's death-row inmates. As in the book, the death-row inmates that Paul Edgecomb and his staff come into contact with are colorful characters - especially John Coffey (played by the late Michael Clarke Duncan) - who was wrongly accused and convicted of murdering two girls. The innocence of John Coffey presents Paul (and his fellow guards) with a conundrum as Coffey's execution date approaches, and the more that Paul gets to know him, the more he sees that John is not like any other human being, but almost angelic with a power to heal ("help") others.

The movie has the mysterious and supernatural elements that you would expect in a Stephen King movie, as well as some of the difficult emotional elements. Overall, the movie is a good one, but don't expect to have dry eyes by the end of it.

This movie along with Sully show the true acting talent of Tom Hanks, there was a lot of things about the plane landing in the Hudson I did not know about particularly about how the government used flight simulators to second guess the pilot who saved all these peoples lives, how would we ever have known about all this if it had not been for this movie, fantastic job well done!!! If you believe in GOD and not the HATE against black people in the south this movie makes a real statement few of us would ever know about. The scene where he talks about how he feels the sting of all the people in the room gathered to see him put to death speaks volumes about the HATEFUL VENGEANCE OF THE DEATH PENALTY and the fact we feel we have the right to take someone else s life when we can not bring them back if we get it wrong and execute the wrong person spells it out why we need to get rid of the death penalty and stop vengeance killing are we trying to play GOD when none of us can bring a life back only GOD can do that who are we to put ourselves ahead of him in deciding who should live and who should die this is pure vengeance plain and simple!

Always a favorite of mine. I love how Tom Hank's character shows the prisoners respect although in his position of authority he doesn't have to do so. Also is a great reminder of how flawed our justice system is and how inhumane the death penalty can be. This film makes you think about your feelings on the subject. While there is no doubt the "Billy the Kid" character deserved to be there there is a question as to two of the others, Dale and John Coffey, should be especially given how low their mental functioning is and their ability to understand things on an adult level. Great film, I enjoy it each time I watch it.

The Green Mile just had to be watched again, and maybe again after that!

I fist saw it as a first run release. I had considered seeing it a second time, but that's not really me- to repeat a movie.
I heard about the passing of Michael Clark Duncan, "Big Mike".to fellow actors.
I then heard about Tom Hanks cracking up the members during the Memorial service for Big Mike.
I was reminded of both of them and the memorable performances in the Green Mile, and HAD to see it again!

Tom Hanks plays Paul Edgecomb the Warden in a penitentiary, who oversees the "Green Mile" on death row.
The character has a fairness worthy of the supreme court justices, as portrayed by Hanks, unusual for a "jail house movie"
however this is Stephen King, so its not going to be any typical Jail House flick!
Its the character played by Michael Clarke Duncan's character, John Coffey that should have spawned the Innocence project
back in the 1920s. Illiterate, quiet and afraid of the dark, you can see how he was presumed guilty by the circumstantial evidence surrounding a crime in that point of American history, southern locale, and cultural environment. Not to mention the unintelligible response given to the circumstance by Coffey. "I couldnt take it back"

Told in a first person narrative through Hanks character in old age, the story (without spoilers) was a pivotal point for
everyone working in the prison at the time. Coffey touched all of them, especially anyone he was close enough to physically "touch".

A side note, Michael Jeter also delivers an outstanding performance as "Delacoix"
If you shy away from the spookiness of Stephen King, dont!
