The Green Mile [2 Discs] [Blu-ray] [1999]

This is an amazing movie. Tom Hanks, as the tale's narrator, once again demonstrates his incredible generosity as an actor. Tom Hanks is brilliant as prison guard Paul Edgecomb, a man who thought everything in his life was straight-forward only to have his views challenged, turning him into a conflicted character who isn't sure what the right thing to do is.

Based on a story by horror scribe Stephen King, this 3-hour film has a lot going for it. Motifs of good vs. evil dominate, contrasting warm, selfless characters with others who personify humanity's ugliness. It also credits God with endowing miracle workers.

I believe both the Green Mile and the Shawshank Redeption were shot at the same prison, that being said it is a very erie/sad place. Tom Hanks was spectacular...like he is in every movie...but he played his character well and he developed others just as well. It is a sad movie that is loaded with irony. You will fall in love with John Cofee's character and what he brings to the Green Mile. A little long, but it is a must see.

This film is one of the best movies made in its genre and in film history. It is just so well directed, and beautifully paced to tell the story properly. It's also hands down one of the best adaptions of Stephen King. The acting is outstanding. This film will always be remembered in film history as a great achievement.

My sister recommended The Green Mile to me back in 1999 and what a surprise I had. This blu ray release is a great transfer, the look and sound of the movie is great and there are some good (SD) extras too. As far as the movie goes, the plot, the acting (with an amazing cast), the script, all are wonderful and makes for a memorable, magical movie.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. The story is so sad but it is so well written it draws you in. The characters range from completely endearing to completely hateful and Persee is so annoying you want to choke him. The story is amazing though; so many believable characters.

This is such a good movie. The entire cast is awesome in this movie especially Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan. In my opinion this is Tom Hanks best work. This price is great. I guarantee you will cry at the end of this movie. It is one of my all time favorite movies! You will get wrap up in this movie you will not want it to end it is a great story.

I didn't realize the movie was that long (188 minutes). The director perfectly told us a story of miracle. Tom Hanks was amazing as usual. Michael Clarke Duncan played a big role here. He represented the character well enough to make his appearance memorable. My only regret was that I didn't watch this movie earlier.
