The Green Mile Analysis
A movie nominated for four Oscars and many other numerous awards in 2000, staring a mouse, Tom Hanks, and David Morse; The Green Mile a very interesting slow paced movie deals with the injustices of racial profiling and the criminal injustice of the murder and rape of two young girls. It also deals with a man with supernatural powers to help clean the world of hatred by people during the time of major racism and that man was John Coffey he showed that he was a good man. Frank Darabont the director for The Green Mile) did a great job on showing the good and bad in people and how the simplest things can make you happy even if you are on the mile.
John Coffey was a well respectable man who was wrongly accused, his was accused based on his skin color, being the first one to find the young girls dead after Wild Bill killed them, even though he tried to bring them back to life. John was a kind and caring person he tried to help many people first by trying to save the girls lives, then fixing Pauls’ problem when he uses the restroom, saving the mouse after Percy stomps on it, and then saving the wardens wife from death. John was a good man and it is extremely sad that he had to be put to death for something he did not do.

With this movie it shows a lot of the good and the ugly in people. It shows that most people can change because of the

It always kept me paying attention and made me not want to leave to use the bathroom or get food. It was written Stephen king, a great American writer that a lot of his movies ended up being a movie. The only problem with the movie was I did not like how long it was because it was kind of hard finishing it without stopping it. I also wished that Wild bill had a worse punishment like a slow death or something because that was really wrong to what he did to the young girls and he made John die for no

    Usually, movies like this would end like the boy gets the girl. That even the girl did not want a serious relationship or did not believe in love at first, in the end it will all change and they’ll live happily ever after. Instead they showed how people or rather the guy struggle to go through his life after his dream girl dumped him. I think that’s their unique selling point. Showing the realness, the real struggle and the choices we make in life. Either give in with the pain or let go and move on. Which is too embarrassing for anyone to share, but this film will make people realize that they’re not alone and that it is normal.…

Analyzing the film, you see how America’s complex prison system affects people of color. It is shocking. Because despite living in a country that gives liberty to all…

    Watching this movie, I found myself laughing, then crying and then laughing and feeling happy. I found myself relating to the characters, most of them in one way or another which was a good feeling. I saw the insecurity in Evelyn, the way that she is so passive and shy. She is very naïve. She is trying to get her husband to pay attention to something other than sports on television. He comes home from work, picks up his dinner that has been set on the table, grabs a beer and then he sits in his chair and ignores her. The stubbornness of Idgie, she is one that does what she wants, when she wants and won’t follow the rules, even if they are in her best interest. The quiet strength of Ruth, she can be the…

    The Green Mile is about a man that was sent to prison for the rap and murder of two little girls and a prison guard who over time believes in the man’s innocents. The readers believe in the man’s innocents from the beginning; since, many times when and African American is put in prison in the beginning of a story there is always an assumption that he or she is put in prison over something a Caucasian has done. The suspense in the novel makes it difficult to put the book down, just when the reader thinks that he or she thinks they know what will happen-something changes.…

    He got to prove, not only to his dad and family, but to himself. He finally received what he thought the good end of the deal was. I personally loved this movie. I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…
