	The BigScreen Cinema Guide: Reader Reviews - The Green Mile
		The Green Mile is a flashback story of a prison guard who supervised a "death row." His flashback story touches on the uniquely personal yet strange relationships that develop between the guards and death row inmates.
		Green Mile combines the blood-chilling and the heart-warming in such a way that I was almost speechless after the 3 hours flew by.
		The movie's denouement may be a little too long, and perhaps, too literary for its medium, but that's a minor nitpick, in an otherwise triumphant film that leaves anyone it touches profoundly affected by the evil and good that men do.

	The Green Mile: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Green Mile, written and directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) and based on the six-part serialized novel by Stephen King, narrates the story of Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), the head guard on Death Row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary in Louisiana.
		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.
		The Green Mile, a title which relates to the common way of calling the green floor or walkway from the prisoners' cells to the execution chamber, centers on Edgecomb's kind efforts to maintain order and a certain level of peace among the prisoners until each is escorted to the electric chair.

	The Green Mile Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		Based on the serialized Stephen King novel of the same name, "The Green Mile" marks the return of Frank Darabont to the director's chair, who directed the cinematic adaptation of "The Shawshank Redemption" five years ago, another Stephen King prison drama.
		Together, they are in charge of E-block (which is also referred to as 'the Green Mile' for its lime-colored linoleum floors), which houses the prison's death row inmates, including Eduard Delacroix (Michael Jeter of "Jakob the Liar") and Native American Arlen Bitterbuck (Graham Greene, seen recently in "The Grey Owl").
		Remaining consistent to its source material, "The Green Mile" unfolds like a vast novel, weaving intricate subplots as it hurtles towards the crescendo of emotional intensity in its denouement.

	The Green Mile movie review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Green Mile is a term referring to the death row in the Louisiana State Penintary.
		A lot of the movie is spent exploring the positive bond between Edgecomb and Coffey, contrasted to the negativity that Percy brings to the proceedings (with horrific consequences).
		The movie also touches upon the issue of Judeo-Christian faith and god, and as an atheist, I found it the least interesting topic (it's also not sufficiently explored except to illustrate that god wouldn't have given powers like the kind Coffey has if Coffey truly was destined to be a child killer).

	The Green Mile, Page 2. A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Now, about the Green Mile: An absolute 5 star movie (although I agree that Shawshank was better) I agree with everything HJ said, with STRONG emphasis on his warnings about blaming the Jews for Christ's death.
		Movies are supposed to be a reflection of reality are they not, and I think that the language in this movie, was perhaps even tamed down from what it probably would have been in that setting.
		I just got back from seeing "The Green Mile" and I must first say that it is an incredible blessing to have this website to turn to to hear others thoughts and to mull movies over with some brothers and sisters in Christ.

	THE GREEN MILE movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		The Green Mile is the long but engrossing story of the mystery and miracles that make the Coffey execution such a challenge.
		The Green Mile is recounted by Edgecomb as a flashback -- the memories of an elderly man in a modern-day retirement home who contemplates the minuses (and pluses) of death.
		The Green Mile reunites the creative forces behind 1994's memorable prison drama, The Shawshank Redemption, and the results are nearly as good as the Oscar-nominated Shawshank.

		Maybe "The Green Mile" is cosmic payback for all the lousy movie adaptations Stephen King's fans have had to put up with over the years.
		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.
		Brutality and abuse are not countenanced on the Green Mile.

		Because of this, die-hard Stephen King fans and movie buffs have been waiting for The Green Mile, in some respects a sequel to Shawshank to be released.
		The audience is presented with three electrocutions during the course of the movie (set, by the way, in the 1930s), and these electrocutions are presented in a methodically slow and deliberate manner.
		The acting in The Green Mile is superb, and I wouldn't be surprised if an Academy Award nomination or two are in the works for the cast.

		In this case, the movie is based on a 1996 serialized novel set on death row, cell block E, of the Cold Mountain Penitentiary in Louisiana.
		The movie has another plot involving a deliberately botched execution by a sadistic guard (Doug Hutchison), who eventually pays the piper for his cruelty.
		"The Green Mile" reminds one of John Steinbeck's classic story "Of Mice and Men" because of its theme and the illiterate giant at its center.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "The Green Mile"
		The Green Mile was by far one of the best movies I have ever seen, with a great script, great actors, and a overall message of peace and acceptance.
		It is a great movie and it deserves all the awards it gets, although I am sick of Tom Hanks getting all the good guy roles, he's a great actor but a great actor has to face the challenge of playing a bad character.
		It is a long movie and it is not packed with action, though I was never bored by it and as a matter of fact when it was over it didn't feel like three hours had passed.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "The Green Mile"-- Comments4
		This movie labored so hard to be great, to be important, to be special, to be significant it felt like your Great Uncle who owned a button shop for years trying to claim his buttons were a key factor in winning World Wars I and II.
		This movie was a far reach from the greatness that both King and Darabont achieved with their previous collaboration, "Shawshank Redemption".
		Though "the Green Mile' was great movie!...sure, it was long but I didn't care...it was a simply a great movie!...I'd rather sit for 3 hours on a hard movie theater seat...then watching an hour-and-a-half of 'American Pie' sitting in a hot tub with a couple of Penthouse Pets at my side....well, maybe not...

	The Green Mile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Green Mile is a lot like Tom Hanks' portrait on its advertising poster – earnest, but glazed and bloated.
		Edgecombe is head guard of E Block - death row, where the Green Mile is the corridor "floored with linoleum the color of tired old limes" that leads to the electric chair, Old Sparky.
		The Green Mile is taken from a much longer (536 page) King work, and Darabont has unwisely elected to spend excessive screen time on a roll call of events rather than richness of character.

	The Green Mile (1999) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		Writer-director Frank Darabont returns to familiar territory with The Green Mile, a very moving adaptation of Stephen King's story about death row inmates and their guards during the depression era.
		The Green Mile has caught flack for being too long, but it's such an absorbing and emotional experience, that I wasn't at all bothered by the three hour running time.
		Perhaps the most interesting aspect of The Green Mile is the bond that develops between the prison guards and the inmates.

	The Green Mile (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Green Mile is a 1999 movie, directed by Frank Darabont and adapted by him from the Stephen King novel The Green Mile.
		The movie is told in flashback by the protagonist in a nursing home and follows a string of supernatural and metaphysical events upon the arrival of convicted murderer John Coffey.
		His domain was called "The Green Mile" because the condemned prisoners walking to their execution are said to be walking "the last mile", here on a stretch of green linoleum.

	"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).

		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.
		I also do not watch many rated R movies anymore, since having children and seeing the movies through their eyes (if they were to see the movie) as well as my own eyes.

		The Green Mile is based on the six-part bestselling serial novel of the same name by Stephen King.
		The Green Mile is a handsome film that's variously funny, hopeful, despairing, brutal, sentimental and cynical--an accomplishment for Darabont and his outstanding troupe of actors.
		The Green Mile is a throwback to movies in which emotions are painted in broad strokes and the characters are unsubtle types of good and evil, decency and depravity.

		The Green Mile is one of the best movies I've seen this year.
		My most frequent criticism of films is that they tend to be overlong, but The Green Mile, at a three full hours, needed every precious second in order to pace the story, develop its characters, and lead the viewer into the satisfying conclusion.

	The Green Mile Movie Reviews at CantBarsed.com
		Back in 1935, in a prison in Louisiana death row is known as "The Green Mile" because of the faded lime colour linoleum floor, Michael Clarke Duncan portrays John Coffey, a simpleton and gentle giant falsely accused of murdering two girls.
		The Green Mile manages to combine the enchanting qualities of the Wizard of Oz with the brutal directness of Saving Private Ryan and carefully pushes all the right buttons to enable us to believe prison warders are wonderful people and mice really enjoy performing circus tricks in the company of humans.
		This movie doesn't lean on a hip sound track or a big special effects budget and apart from a plethora of exploding light bulbs the drama unfolds in your head, which is probably what makes the movie such a successful adaptation of the novel.

		The Green Mile shares a number of qualities--in addition to being an adaptation of a Stephen King prison story--with writer-director Frank Darabont's previous film The Shawshank Redemption, but one of them is not its astounding excellence; not many will label the new film as the instant classic its predecessor was.
		Long before its release, The Green Mile has been touted as the movie to beat at the Oscars, and while I cannot honestly say that it's the best film I've seen this year, it would certainly be a worthy winner.
		Edgecomb’s tour of duty at Cold Mountain in the Depression-era South included watch over a quartet of killers awaiting their final walk down "the Green Mile," the stretch of green linoleum flooring that took convicts from their jail cells to the electric chair.

		He doesn't get the credit he deserves because he has been branded a mere horror writer (even though many of his best stories, like The Green Mile, really aren't horror at all), and because he is too successful commercially for jealous and/or snobbish critics to accept him as a legitimate author.

		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.
		In a scene where Coffey is watching a movie, the light from the projector emanates around his head like a halo.
