The Green Mile (1999) Movie Reviews.

"The Green Mile" is one of those films, after seeing which, you can not immediately begin your usual business, because it takes time to comprehend, because the film affects your feelings, leaves inside your track. Putlockers is a great opportunity to watch free movies online and in 720HD. Try in once and you will doing it again and again! For all this, thanks to Stephen King, the director Frank Darabont and, of course, to the great actors. Yes, the cast has been chosen the best. This applies to performers and major, and secondary roles. They, really, believe. How much sympathy and respect are the heroes of Hanks, Morse, Pepper, DeMann, how much sympathy - the characters of Clark Duncan and Jeter, the same disgust - the characters Rockwell and, especially, Hutchison (such as Percy, unfortunately, are often found in our lives, and sorry that they do not always get what they deserve). In general, in my opinion, the main theme of the film is the injustice of life. And

Who has the gift of healing? Who can heal people, who can heal them? Who can prevent someone's illness, save the sick from crap and take all the litigation for themselves? Who commands in the world of madness and divination? Who are called "charlatans," "magicians," "Herods," although they are not? Who is suffering more than ours, who are glad to see what we are not happy to see - the sprouting grass on the green meadow, the bright shadow of the passing express train, the innocent convict, carried away by his circus mouse, the prickly bunk that cuts your back right through and you lie, as if on nails, and do not you feel anything? Who was sentenced to death, and they are afraid of accepting it, because they repent and the punisher also repents, is he hurt for himself and for the guilty? And so, in reasoning, every prisoner blames himself even more, and after he has nothing to help himself, and after no one accepts him for who should be helped. Ever

Among the wide mass of movie lovers, the name of Stephen King is strongly associated with horrors. At the time of the release of the picture "Green Mile" this popular stereotype in our country was more widespread than now, as the Internet remained a pleasure for the elite, the cinemas could not boast of high attendance, and the previous film of Darabont "The Escape from Shawshank" has not yet become cult and his very few people have seen. I still regret that I did not see this masterpiece in the cinema. Before Novosibirsk, he reached only by the end of the summer of 2000. Therefore bought for 35r. pirated video cassette became a kind of compensation. The plot of the film invites viewers to plunge into the era of the 30s, which is not typical for King's screen versions, but among his short stories, there are quite a few whose actions take place in the first half of the 20th century, which the author himself can not remember due to age. A stunning fusion o

The "Green Mile" is rightfully considered one of the best films of the world cinema. This is a real masterpiece, incorporating all the best from the eponymous work of Stephen King and complemented by a magnificent production and a wonderful game of actors. By the way, i reccomend to you watch movies online on Putlockers new site - find there huge collection of movies and series. Also you can find The Gree Mile movie on that site. With the novel of King I got acquainted after watching the film - so strong was the desire after viewing to penetrate this story to the full. But I would like to evaluate this film from the position of the person who read the book. I think it will be more correct to take it exactly as a film adaptation, because it is very close to the original, and most of the deviations were dictated by the need to shorten the already considerable timekeeping. In general, these deviations are insignificant and do not distort the perception of the plot creat

"Green Mile" and "Escape from Shawshank" are knocked out of the style, the soul of the works of Stephen King, but the screen version of Frank Darabont made at the highest level. I will not compare the book and the film, since these are completely different types of art (but I admit that the book reveals the inner world and the heroes' experiences more fully), I will only say that both are worth reading / reading, and possibly repeated. One of the main tasks of any work of art is to awaken feelings, evoke emotions in a person, make him think about complex things, look at the world differently. The history of John Coffey is the best performer of these tasks. This is a person who does not have special intellectual abilities (in other words, stupid), the longest monologue of which consisted of 5 sentences, a man who does not know how to tie his shoelaces himself causes an abyss of feelings and emotions. I will not say that I am especially sentimental, but afte

To begin with, recently I am reviewing the splendid screen versions of Stephen King, the great master of the horror genre. And on my list I found the film "The Green Mile" by the novell . This is another King ... I reccomend to watch movies online free only on Putlockers new site where you can find huge collection of movies of different genres. The film begins in the nursing home. Before us is quite healthy and energetic old man Paul. But it soon becomes clear that he is hiding something from the past, something is eating him from the inside. He finds a very nice lady, who dedicates to his story ... In the distant 1935, Paul worked as a warden in the prison (block Green Mile), where his last days were prisoners waiting to be executed in the electric chair. And here in the block lead the prisoner John Coffey, accused of killing two girls. It's a huge giant that seems awesome. But in fact it is a very kind, sensitive person, and besides, endowed with supernatural

"The Green Mile" is a mystical thriller based on the eponymous novel by Stephen King. Having in his arsenal a powerful original and experience working with him, excellent actors and a large budget, the talented director Frank Darabont simply could not film a bad movie. And surprisingly, it has not received a single Oscar from four nominations. Darabont had already worked on King's material, screening the legendary "Shawshank Escape". And this time the adaptation of the script turned out to be very deep, expressive and close to the original. Preserved the main character characters, successful dialogues and scenes, delivered with no less skill than the description of King. Successfully selected cast has reliably got used to images, having transferred by the game that psychological condition which the author conceived. A charismatic and little-known Michael Clarke Duncan, through an incredibly deep and emotional game, became a promising actor of the time

I, unlike many others, first read the novel by Stephen King (who, incidentally, fascinated me), and only then learned about the film adaptation. Seeing this movie in second place in the top 250, I decided to definitely watch it. Sure, the movie is great. Acting at the highest level! Of course, Michael Clarke Duncan looks the brightest (which is exactly how I pictured John Coffey), Doug Hutchison (his hero is as repulsive as in the novel) and Sam Rockwell (his Wild Bill is even more wild than described by King). However, the rest of the actors are not completely lost on their background. The technical side of the film is also on top. And music, and scenery, and special effects (although they are few). All together they create an excellent entourage, the atmosphere of the suicide bomber is transferred to 5 plus! The film is about 3 hours, but it's almost invisible. Of course, this is a huge plus for the film: it's hard to keep the viewer's attention for so long. In

There are many different professions and responsibilities all over the world. But the most difficult of them are those that are directly related to the life and death of a person. What is it to realize that in your hands the fate of people? It's very hard. The same we see in the picture "Green Mile", where the main character Paul (Tom Hanks) works as a warden in prison and one of the executors of the death sentences. It is he and his colleagues who are carrying out the suicide bombings on their last journey from the camera to the electric chair. This corridor, covered with a green path, and called the local slang "green mile". People behave very differently in anticipation of death. Someone is locked in himself, someone releases his anger to the outside world, realizing that it can not be worse already. But such prisoners as John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), Paul has never met. This huge black is accused of raping and killing two girls of twelve. But, d

"I dreamed of you. I dreamed that you are wandering in the dark, and so do I. And we found each other, we found each other in the dark. " Impressive, mesmerizing, shocking, hypnotizing. Yes, just not enough words to describe all your emotions after the movie. The most famous adaptation of the popular novel by Stephen King. Probably already many people know this story about the workers on the mile and their prisoners sentenced to death. Paul already at a very old age recalls his experiences while working on a mile in the 30's. They, those who worked there, called this place - the green mile, the last path that passed the condemned to the death penalty, and the road led to an electric chair. One year at this place, Paul was so saturated that he could no longer work there, and the annoying employee was Parsi, and the rambunctious kid Billy, DeLacroix with the circus Mr. Jingle and, of course, John Kofi. The last character turns out to be some inexplicable miracle sen

Everything that happens on Mile remains on Mile. This is the law. I've never compared the "Green Mile" with any other films. This picture stands for me separately from everyone. In these three hours of timing, so much sense and so much emotion is invested that you involuntarily marvel at the talent of Frank Darabont and Stephen King. This is one of the strongest dramas I've ever seen. It's hard to watch, because the film makes it possible to miss all the emotions of the characters through yourself. You seem to be standing next to the warders and be touched by this glorious little mouse, Mr. Jingle. You hate Percy with all your heart for his antics and wish him the worst punishment (by the way, a very colorful character, well played by Doug Hutchison). And, of course, John Coffey's story - a little strange, but kind and unselfish person, can not be forgotten. I was shivering when I was shown execution in the electric chair. No murders and bloodshed in h

The film, in my opinion, turned out to be very interesting and unusual. Of course, with these words, one must first turn to the original source of the plot, namely, to Stephen King's novel The Green Mile, which was written shortly before the filming of the film in 1996. In the title, I did not in vain indicate this phrase, since it, for reasons I do not understand, interested me and remembered me the most. In the film, I did not hear it, but I remember perfectly well from the book. It was expressed by Bart Hemmersmith, when he raped Paul Edgkum as a dog attacked his son. This of course was an unpredictable action, after which Bart was forced to shoot his tame mongrel ... This action was also the assumption of why John Coffey committed such a terrible crime, allegedly due to overflow of incomprehensible feelings in him. Someone believed in it, some did not, some did not want to believe anything, and quickly put John on an electric chair. But the fact remains that there were no

"Green Mile" - the same film adaptation of the novel "King of Horrors" by Stephen King, directed by the cult film "Escape from Shoushenk" by Frank Darabont, starring Tom Hanks. Plot: The film begins with the fact that the former warden of the federal prison Paul Edgcombe (Tom Hanks), who is in a nursing home, tells his friend memories of working at the Green Mile. During the period of work in prison, the block "E" receives a huge black man John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), sentenced to an electric chair for the murder of two girls, while possessing amazing magical abilities. Tom Hanks. The owner of two Oscar awards this time got the image of the chief warden of the "death row" Paul Edgkoba, who remains at the same time a loyal friend, a responsible worker and a loving husband. The courage and tranquility that is inherent in this character, Hanks transmitted at the highest level. Michael Clarke Duncan: An African American

This film, like "Shawshank's Escape" about the prison. Honestly, all my conscious life these two films seemed to me a reflection of cruelty and evil and until now I had no desire to watch them, but now I realize that I read the wrong stories. The film called "The Green Mile" sunk into my soul, although I expected the film to have a completely different effect. This film once again proves that anywhere in the world you can find a good man, even in prison. So it turned out here, on the Green Mile. The story in the film is narrated from the mouth of the old resident of the old people's home Paul Edgcombe, who is already far beyond 100. He tells his friend a story about his youth and maturity, about the time when he served as a supervisor in the "E" block in the oldest and coldest prison The Cold Mountain. The floor in this block is all green and its area takes about a mile, hence the name. In this block, criminals await their death penalty, an

I've heard a lot about this film, it's a masterpiece, and it's necessary to look it up. Well, a masterpiece, you will not understand a masterpiece, until you look at yourself. Seeing this same three-hour movie, I admit that this is a true masterpiece of cinema and a decent adaptation of Stephen King's novel. We see in this story how one giant was brought to death, who is accused of the terrible murder of two little girls. Prison officers who executed the death penalty did not even guess how this story will turn around with this mysterious stranger who is endowed with the magical power of healing ... Despite the fact that the film is three hours old, it is not at all long and not boring. He is interesting, rich, psychological and strong. The whole story you look with your eyes wide open, and at the end you see tears. Stephen King is a genius and a wonderful writer. His books are interesting and loved, but to film them and convey the whole atmosphere of his storie

I will not quarrel, Stephen King's book is more interesting. But that's the book. In most cases, books are always more fun than movies, and even more so screen versions. Still, Frank Darabont's picture of King's novel is wonderful. Excellent casting, the successful display of America during the Great Depression and the basic idea that someone can take upon themselves the sins of humanity deserves the kindest words. Equivalent combination of detective, drama and mysticism is done competently and very accurately. There is no kink and roll in any direction. This can not but attract. Jail. Block of suicide bombers. Prisoners and overseers. But there will not be a regular squabble here. What draws King and Darabont? In the foreground are two characters. This is the boss, the hero of Tom Hanks and the convicted John Coffey. There will be no confrontation between them. What is the interest of Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks)? You are unlikely to meet in any other film such a he

I very long approached this film, and then very long wrote a review. For the first time I looked at him about 7 years ago, did not appreciate and safely forgot. And now, being on vacation, I looked at him again on the advice of a friend whose opinion I very much trust. The strongest film. I would even say: the strongest. And now I will try to explain my position. Firstly, I really want to note a large number of plot lines, each of which gets its development and denouement. Usually we see one / two main characters and their story line, which unfolds before us and eventually comes to some final. Also there is a variant of a heap of plot lines, it is not clear how connected with each other and not getting their development, as, for example, in "Remember Me". Here, each character is important, necessary and gets his interesting story. By the way, for example, I can not say that for me the main line was John Coffee. No less significant character for me was Dal. When he was e

What is life in fact, if not one single test given to us by the Almighty? By testing whether we deserve such a great gift as life, are we worthy of them and what values ​​are driving us to live on? This film directed by Frank Darabont very closely examines the topic of the value and meaning of our entire existence by the example of an undeservedly accused person whose appearance forever changed the lives of a huge number of people and especially the warders of the local prison who first began to doubt the validity of their work. Everyone knows the master of literary horror Stephen King as much as possible departed from the horrors usual for his creativity and created perhaps one of the best works in his already incredibly rich work, which is no less ideally embodied on the screen perhaps one of the best directors of the old guard in the person of Frank Darabont . If the "Escape from Shawshank" was a unique exception, this film becomes a unique statement of the ideal coh

I will begin with the fact that I have never seen a film better than this, in my subjective view. To my great regret, I have nothing to compare, since I did not read the book. But if you evaluate it as a film, then he did not leave me indifferent, as well as most people in the world, both critics and just lovers of cinema, good cinema. "Paul Edgcombe did not believe in miracles. Until I encounter one of them, I cite this slogan as an example, because this film is a piece of a small miracle, and this film wants to share this miracle so that we understand the values ​​of our life so that we learn not to turn a blind eye to injustice and try to make peace better by their actions. Did it happen to the main characters? To make the world better? No, but they all opened their eyes and they began to take it in a different way. As for the emotions that the film conveys. I can say that I'm a heavy man who never liked snot and veal tenderness, but at the end of this movie I cried.

The green mile is a film that forces us to recognize the bias of the world, the injustice of one's life and the injustice of the death of another, to be imbued with the fact that every day in the world something terrible, something cruel and merciless is happening, and we can not change this violent world. "How does God allow this?" John Coffey - God's miracle, who had a great gift, no one else felt it. Sometimes a murderer can turn out to be the kindest of people. He wanted to transform everything that exists in the world, he was happy with the night sky and the leaves on the grass, like a child, seemingly so huge, looking cold and bloodthirsty, he wanted to achieve peace throughout the world. But how can one person cope with such fierce anger? "Help. Only help. "Perfect self-sacrifice. He was ready to absorb these diseases, hatred, bitterness one after another to the detriment of himself, but for the sake of salvation. If all people were capable of

"Are they born of geniuses, or do they become?", "Is it difficult to repeat your success?", "Can we enter the same river twice?" - the questions that have repeatedly been raised in the life of any of us. Why do some reach everything, while others remain unsuccessful all their lives? What is the engine for achieving an ideal result? Luck? Talent? Accident? I think that all a little. James Cameron shot two of the highest grossing films in the history of cinema. Tom Hanks repeated the incident Spencer Tracy, becoming the winner of the Oscar in the category "Best Actor" two years in a row. Stephen King wrote a bunch of stories and novels, two of which were made by the best films from the existing ones (according to the users of "Kinopoisk", since the American database IMDB thinks differently). And both of these films were shot by the same director - Frank Darabont. While there is an escape in some prisons, and in others a riot is risi

1935th year. The Great Depression. Conservative South, Louisiana. Possessing the supernatural abilities of the black, John Coffey, who is accused of killing two girls, is taken to the blockade of the death row of the prison "Cold Mountain". The post of the senior overseer, who escorts the last path of the convicts, performs in this non-charitable institution Paul Edgcombe, who suffers from a chronic inflammation of the urethra. But after Coffey easily saves Paul from anguish, the healed guard begins to feel genuine interest for his savior and soon comes to the conclusion that such a person by definition can not be a killer ... "The Green Mile" is both a metaphor, and just a corridor covered with green cloth, according to which the condemned lead to the execution. A few clearly drawn characters and plot lines, including the second plan, coupled with a well-balanced and balanced scenario, when the hope of salvation invariably turns into a tragedy, and every forg

"The Green Mile" vs. "Escape from Shawshank": find four similarities and three differences The similarity of N1: both films are prison dramas, shot without extra "Ponte", pleasing not by entertainment, but by profound meaning. Among the cheap scenery of the prison, any viewer will see a strong movie, capable of touching and touching the living. The resemblance of N2: both films are based on the novels of Stephen King, known mainly for mystical novels, but gained fame in the first place with these two works, the screen versions of which received a wild rating, which meant the general love of the audience. The similarity of N3: both pictures do not show excessive naturalism, even where it seems to be needed - the creators managed without excessive cruelty and blood rivers, despite the prison themes and death scenes. The similarity of N4: in both films the protagonist is condemned unfairly, and punished on false accusation. The difference is N1:

The film by Frank Darabonta makes us believe that our finding on earth is only a temporary stay. On the example of Paul you can understand that on this planet to infinity is not at all great, even if you do not have special diseases. People are too cruel and heartless, and not everyone can easily observe it, especially if you are a person with such a kind heart as John, so kind that every day you live becomes a real test. The unusual story that happened in Paul's life makes it clear that we do not always have to act according to the letter of the law, but as our heart tells us without going against our conscience. And the hero of Tom Hank, weighing all the pros and cons, realizing that he will go to the judgment of God, gives the giant the opportunity to decide what to do next. John's decision does not alleviate the fate of Paul at all, and he has to make an irreversible act, for which he will be punished by an incredibly long life, he will see how his family and friends,

This movie can be safely attributed to one of the best film projects in the cinema. The plot is both chic and easy to understand. Stunning film based on the novel by Stephen King. "You do not notice how the past falls on you, whether you want it or not." Paul Edgcombe works as a warden in a prison called the Green Mile. He works in the "E" block, where the prisoners are waiting for the death penalty in the electric chair. The film shows only a fragment of his life while working in this prison, so one can only assume how many people passed this "green mile" with him. But despite the fact that he sentenced them to death, literally speaking about this in their last moments of life, I will not say about him that he is a bad person. In the last days of the prisoners, he and his comrades tried only to support them, without saying stupid words like "there it will be good for you" or "you will see - this life is only a flash compared to what

No event passes without a trace: it leaves its imprint in time, invading its measured flow. "Cold Mountain" was no exception, once changed forever. Time. Here, on the Green Mile, it is fleeting and slow, generous and sparse, here everything is feasible to him. The hands of the clock are surely operating - the messengers of death, tick-tock, tick-to, the hour of reckoning, tick-to-tick, so-so, nothing can escape from them. Here, the apostates die a terrible death: Old Sparky spares no one. Here, the smell of burning causes gastric spasms, and everyone knows that interruptions in electricity supply are not caused by a thunderstorm. However, even here there were better times, the times of John Coffey and Mr. Jingle, incredible healings and delightful circus tricks. They did not change the rules of the Green Mile, but they changed the Mile herself, did not leave her walls, but remained free. It seems that life stopped in the distant 1935, and all that was left to Paul Edg

Green Mile. I wonder if there are people here who have not seen this movie? Really? The second place in the Top 250 of the best films according to the Film Search, the highest ratings on steep movie sites, excellent reviews of film critics around the world, and so on. Five years earlier, Frank Darabont gave the world a wonderful film "Escape from Shoushenk" and five years later, he gives another masterpiece of the "Green Mile". This is now the modern young people know Frank Darabont as the creator of the series "Walking Dead," but the whole world remembers him as the creator of two masterpieces (Escape from Shawshank and the Green Mile), which already has been ranked 1st and 2nd in the Top 250 best movies according to the Film Search . What about the "Green Mile"? Yes, anything but insults. I do not understand how you can not love this movie. I also remember a long time ago, being still so say a child, this film is so touched that I do no
