  'Miracle' recaptures thrill of coach, young hockey players meeting their goal
Though "Miracle'' touches vaguely on the personalities and problems of individual players, particularly goalie Jim Craig (Eddie Cahill) and the loss of his mother, the film focuses mainly on Brooks' effort to turn 20 college hotshots into a team.
The movie shows the grueling, repetitive conditioning sessions -- the skating back and forth between two lines, for hours on end -- and the first early exhibition games, as the team struggles to find its footing.
What slowly pervades the movie is precisely what pervaded the United States at the time, a sense of America in decline and of the Soviet Union in the ascendant.

 FANBOY PLANET.com .: mg-miracle :.
Movies like Remember the Titans, The Rookie, The Natural, Hoosiers and Rudy are classic examples of a formula we are all familiar with but still love.
Even though we know the outcome, particularly in the case of Miracle, the journey is still enjoyable enough to tug on the old patriotic heart strings.
In case you were high on coke during 1980 or just not old enough to remember, Miracle is based on the true story of a group of American college hockey players, hand-picked by coach Herb Brooks to face the most dominant hockey team to ever skate on Olympic ice, the Russians.

I understand Anthony Edwards, who plays Harry Washello in Miracle Mile is quite big for his britches now, in something called ER, but I only know him from this, and another little movie from about the same time, “Mr North”, where he played alongside one of my very favorites, Anjelica Huston.

 Miracle | AccessAtlanta
"Miracle" has it all - announcer Al Michaels shouting, "Do you believe in miracles?"; team captain Mike Eruzione (Patrick O'Brien Demsey) running on his skates after scoring the go-ahead goal against the Soviets; U.S. goalie Jim Craig (Eddie Cahill) searching the crowd to find his father after the victory over Finland.
"Miracle" is a re-creation of an emotional high, girded by the physicality of the game but existing on a plain of social consciousness that far exceeds understanding hockey terminology.
"Miracle" has the intensity and thrill of victory to surpass many other sports films, such as "Remember the Titans." It's "Rocky" with depth, a poor man's "Raging Bull" with a heavy dose of metaphoric pom-poms.

It appears to be almost a foot difference in the movie with the camera angles and other tricks of the trade.
Perhaps this is what the movie is meant to do -- to make us feel better about ourselves that we would not be so cruel and selfish and so compelled and loyal to "the system" as to give away our very souls.
But what I am really getting at is that this movie seems to make a real case against capital punishment (or at the very least, against the electric chair, which, even with a wet sponge, does not look "painless").

FRANK DARABONT'S The Green Mile, like his directorial debut, The Shawshank Redemption, is about prison, death row and miracles.
Edgecombe supervises the prisoners on death row, usually referred to as "the last mile." But it's the color of the floor on E block, "the color of faded limes," that inspires the title.
It treats healing, a "praise Jesus miracle," with the utmost respect; it does not doubt the miraculous; and it weeps over the evil embodied by unrepentant killers.

 CANOE -- JAM! Movies - Moonlight Mile Review - A miracle Mile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
If the emotions writer-director Brad Silberling conjures in his semi-autobiographical project sound contradictory, that is because they are more like what happens in real life and less like what happens in sentimental Hollywood weepies.
As an important mainstream film that is never flashy, but always compelling, Moonlight Mile operates at the highest level.
This brings up another wonderful contradiction: Moonlight Mile is a big Hollywood film that is still personal, accessible and profound.

Miracle Mile plays out in 87 minutes, most of them real time, but De Jarnatt the director should have demanded a rewrite from De Jarnatt the scripter to tighten things up and have his characters act reasonably.

 "The Green Mile" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
Or are we out in the midst of the hurting and dying people of this world, extending the hand of mercy and healing that can only come from God, as he touches their lives and changes them forever.
This movie was melodramatic and did pull the audience's tear ducts quite often, but not to the extent of "Titanic." The movie is an allegory for good vs. evil and should be viewed through that critical lens.
I recommend "The Green Mile" to anyone over the age of 17 (since it is R rated).

But the late 80's were full of apocalyptic nuclear holocaust movies and this was the only one that stayed with me. Now, years later, I've just rewatched it (this time on DVD) and I still think it's a very good -- but not great -- movie.
In all, I think this movie ranks as a great sci-fi film, and in the truest sense of the genre: What If.

 The 11th Hour
Horror movies serve as metaphorical interpretations of our deepest fears and longings; The Green Mile, while in no way a horror film, is true to its Stephen King pedigree in that it conveys powerful emotion in its rawest, purest state, often with supernatural overtones.
Because The Green Mile doesn't hide what is in its heart, because it can't, it stands as one of the most compelling movies of the year.
The Green Mile is a story of sacrifice and redemption, but it is one made effective by the familiar, sympathetic characters who tell the tale.
