Coffee is a black man with a sturdy physique, but he has the ability to bring creatures back to life. He is an "angel" sent by God to the world. Two dying little girls died in his arms due to a failure to rescue him. The police mistakenly thought it was a homicide, so Coffee was sentenced to death. At the green mile leading to the electric chair (the floor of the prison where the death row prisoners are held is green), Coffee uses divine power to cure the hidden disease of prison guard Paul (tom hanks), save the pet mouse of the prisoner before he died, and drive away the disease for the kind-hearted woman... …Paul learns the truth about the death of an innocent girl in Coffee's blurry tears. Paul couldn't escape his inner voice and couldn't send Coffee to the electric chair by himself.
However, Coffee told Paul that he was tired and had seen all the ugly distortions in the world. He was always alone, without friends, alone and hopelessly treating. He said that he saw the kind-hearted little girls who were both killed because of their love for each other, but he couldn't save them, so he could only cry in his arms. He said that he was afraid of the dark and that there was no hope in the dark, so his only request was to sit in the electric chair without being blindfolded.
Coffee died amid the swearing of the crowd, still full of tears, grateful and relieved, this twisted and contradictory world.
Paul lived a long, long time, he saw the people he loved and loved leave him one by one, and he devoutly waited for death to come, but lived alone year after year. He experienced Coffee's loneliness and powerlessness, and watched the world change for better and worse.
The director is the same person who filmed The Shawshank Redemption; the script is the famous Stephen King. The film is very long, more than three hours, and it looks smooth and not tired. The director seems to be fond of "prison" themes. Death row inmates, prison guards, and prisons still have feelings. At the intersection of facing death, the embodiment of human nature is the most real. The only wish of the death row prisoner before his death was to find a good home for the pet mouse. When Paul said that the mouse should be taken care of by him, the death row prisoner silently said: It would be nice if we could meet somewhere else. I still have to admire Tom Hanks' acting skills. The small details of his demeanor are very well captured, and he is not blindly sensational. As a prison guard, he has a good grasp of the scale; the other two supporting roles are also quite good. Crazy.
Green, there is still hope! Kimura has his reasons for not returning the disc, goro, buy another collector's edition gracefully!
