		The Green Mile is narrated by the retired guard (Dabbs Greer as the elderly Edgecomb), in an extended flashback which takes the viewer to 1935.

		It helps that "The Green Mile" is among the most overtly cinematic of King's larger works, and that the author used its unorthodox form to free himself from some of his more tiresome mid-career obsessions.

		We flash back to a Louisiana prison during the Depression, where young Paul (a perfunctory Tom Hanks) is the head screw on death row, the so-called Green Mile.
		And to its credit, The Green Mile gives a fair account of itself, validating not only John's lament that love is the ultimate tool of hate but the idea that hate, when properly manipulated, can serve the cause of love.

		The "green mile" is the lime-green linoleum floored hall leading from the cells to the electric chair.
		What we find in "The Green Mile" is a merry-go-round of greed, evil, ruthlessness, intolerance, but also of sympathy, courage, friendship and love for life.
		All these aspects are wrapped in a fluent, captivating narration whose pace is always surprisingly brisk, even when there's no action at all, and which is buttressed by a vividness in the descriptive parts that appeals to our very senses.

		In "The Mouse On The Mile", the entire piece is performed in pizzicato, and accentuated with some vibes that echo a bit of his work on American Beauty.
		The last cue on the album, "The Green Mile", is a rather emotional recap of the main themes in the film, and is a very apropos way to end the album (I also believe that these might have been placed over the end credits).
		Thomas Newman might not get any awards for his work on The Green Mile, it stands out as one of the better scores of 1999, and one of the better ones Newman has done lately.

	Review: The Green Mile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Green Mile's most shocking and potentially upsetting scene occurs about midway through, and is disturbing enough to change almost anyone's opinion about the humanity of using the electric chair.
		And, while The Green Mile falls into the former category, Darabont apparently believes that the material is more profound than it actually is. The film includes a high level of Judeo-Christian spiritual content, and some of the symbolism is spread on a little thickly.
		The Green Mile is one of those "not a dry eye" in the theater motion pictures.

	Feo Amante's Horror Movies: E.C.McMullen Jr. reviews THE GREEN MILE
		This mile is green because that is the color of the floor tiles.
		Watching the trailers for this movie, you might think that this story revolves solely around the life of one condemned man, but that is not the case.
		We are never told what he did, but Greene handles his brief role with such incredible, silent depth that we feel the humanity in him that neither his accusers or victim would probably ever know.

	The Green Mile
		While "Mile" is a well-acted, beautifully crafted, and moving film, it suffers under the weight of its own ambitions to stay true to King's six volume set of books.
		The Green Mile, which gets its name from the lime-colored floor that lines the cell block, gets its newest resident in the form of John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan)--a hulking 6-foot-5 fl man. Coffey is accused of murdering two little girls, but his menacing figure is offset by his childlike and innocent demeanor.
		The biblical references in "The Green Mile" are pretty obvious.

	The Green Mile - Movie Preview
		Just as Shawshank was adapted from one of his short stories, so too The Green Mile is an adaptation of the writer´s hugely successful 1996 serialised novel of the same name.
		Set in Louisiana in 1935 on death row - a place known to guards and inmates alike as ‘the green mile´ because of the shiny green linoleum that leads from the cells to the electric chair - Darabont´s new film is a complex mix of fantasy and thriller.
		The killers are a mix: a Native American played by Graham Greene; a Cajun (Michael Jeter); and a wild young psychopath, superbly played by Sam Rockwell.

	The Green Mile. A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review.
		Set on Death Row in a Southern prison in 1935, The Green Mile is the remarkable story of the cell block's head guard (Tom Hanks), who develops a poignant, unusual relationship with an inmate named John Coffey (Michael Duncan), who possesses the spiritual gift of healing and supernatual insight.
		In Green Mile, flies are used to symbolize both evil and the judgment of God.
		Possibly the most fulfilling element of 'The Green Mile' for me was the way that the writer and director were not pressured into specifically saying that the John Coffey character is the Christ figure.
