Director Frank Darabont, who made an acclaimed feature film debut with The Shawshank Redemption (1994), returns for a second feature, The Green Mile, an American drama film based on 1996 Stephen King novel of the same title released on December 10, 1999.The movie is told in flashback by the protagonist in a nursing home. In 1935, inmates at the Cold Mountain Correctional Facility call Death Row "The Green Mile" because of the dark green linoleum that tiles the floor.
It's just another normal day on the Green Mile, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) is the head guard on the Green Mile when a new inmate, John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a giant black man convicted of raping and killing two young white girls, arrives on death row. John shows all the characteristics of being a "gentle giant": eight feet tall with his hands the size of waffle irons, shy, soft-spoken, fearing darkness and crying often. A person who behaves more like an innocent child than a hardened criminal.
Soon Paul and two of his fellow guards, Brutus "Brutal" Howell (David Morse) and Dean Stanton (Barry Pepper), learns that there is more about John. Someone who displays inexplicable healing and empathetic abilities, leading them to wonder just what sort of person John could be that he have committed the crimes with which he was charged.
Justice isn't always just
but the most incredible thing about miracles is that they happen.
