The Green Mile

Dear,

No matter how many times I watch this film, I still can be ‘touched’ by the plot. I already watch this film almost 7-10 times, but I believe I still can watch it from the start until the end again and again. Yes, of course this is a very old movie (is it that old?) Surely does as Tom Hanks was very tough and young at the time. Haha.. I’m not really sure actually. Forgive me.

This film tells about the ‘magic’ in man, or also called the ‘force of nature’ in one man, name John Coffey (very big black man). Because of his physical appearance, he has been accused to murder 2 little girls as the villagers found him crying out loud holding that 2 little girls dead bodies. What people don’t know is he actually too late to save the girls. And, to make the story interesting, John has been pleaded guilty and sent to the death sentence (electric chair).

The story is basically just around E Block, where it placed the ‘death sentences’ convicts including John Coffey, Dell (and his Mr Jingles), Wild Billy (the real murdered of the girls) with the wardens; Paul, Brutal, Harry, annoying Percy and another one..(I just can’t remember his name right now). The green mile is actually the last path that leads to the electric chair room. Why they called that final path a green mile? it just because the floor is lime green in colour. This film able to touch your heart when it actually shows to us when the innocent being accused/guilty for what he had not done, surely you will feel terrible and guilty for what he had to take. I just don’t know how to tell you the story, but I WOULD LOVE TO SUGGEST YOU TO WATCH THIS FILM ONCE! Forget about all the ‘crappy films’ cintan cintun..tangkap muat sume tu.. Layan film lama pun berbaloi la kawan… hehe.. But, it truly depends on individual interests, however..please do give appraisal to a really good movie. That’s how our film industry should response to our need, dear.

See ya’

p/s: any good movies to recommend?
