The three-hour film is relatively long but not tiresome. The environment of the whole film is relatively limited, but it shows several people of different identities. They are all facing death, some people witnessed the death of others, Some people make the death of others, and some people are about to experience death. In the face of this special theme, you can clearly see the good and evil of human nature. The prison policemen who often witness death are kind and cherish their lives. They treat each execution with seriousness and respect, and when the prisoner is executed. At that time, he would defend the dignity of the deceased, "he has paid for his sins, and he owes no one anymore". The prisoners sincerely regret what they have done, and cherish the one who wandered around together. You can see the little mouse. Of course, there are Percy and Billy who represent cowardice, cruelty, deceitfulness and fear of evil humanity.

But all the rewards for good and evil are actually done by a man with magical powers. We cannot control our own birth, old age, sickness, and death, and we are dying. He is the one who will treat you. Because the wicked have a tough backstage, they cannot be punished. This also requires people with magical powers to complete the punishment. No matter how he hates that criminal criminal, he can't get what he deserves. Even if it is known that there is a grievance, it cannot be rehabilitated, it is necessary to say before the execution, "According to the laws of this state,...execute the death penalty."

Can't we do it ourselves? The answer is that we can't do it, so an angel appeared to help our friends rescue from death, help us punish bad guys, and tell us the pain we have suffered. The name of this film is Green Miracle, it's true, it is indeed a miracle.
