The Green Mile (1999)

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Based on the short stories, by Stephen King, The Green Mile became a critically well received movie. With some going as far as saying it’s one of the best Stephen King film adaptations. And thanks to performances by Tom Hanks, and Michael Clarke Duncan, and everything else, yes it’s that great of a movie."

"29.10. Max Uusintakatselu. Lasten elokuvaa aikuisten sisällöllä. Satu, joka ei osaa olla rehellisesti satu. Fantasiapuoli sinänsä iha ok, mutta korostaa vain muun kerronnan lapsellisuutta. Naurettavan itsetarkoituksellinen sentimentalismi ei jaksa naurattaa kolmea tuntia."

“Warning: Spoilers "The Green Mile" is an American movie from 1999, so this one will have its 20th anniversary 2 years from now when I write this revie”

“I am starting to like Stephen King's work more now, and I read the book. A wonderful book, that is faithfully(mostly) adapted into an equally wonderful film. My only complaint of The Green Mile is the length, I do think it is too long. However, The Green Mile is a film that is haunting, thought-provoking, moving and engrossing.

The film is beautifully directed by Frank Darabont(director of the slightly superior The Shawshank Redemption), is beautifully shot with a foreboding setting and atmospheric cinematography and lighting and has an engrossing and haunting story that is well-paced too. Thomas Newman's score is positively hypnotic and very beautiful, with some great authentic song choices, my favourite being Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams(And Dream Your Troubles Away).
