The Green Mile (1999) Movie Reviews.

A little bit about the ideological component of the film, as she introduced herself to me. 4 heroes characterize the sphere-images, around which the narration is twisted: - generous, noble and educated hero Tom Hanks, a man whose actions do not depend on the outside world, but only on his personal convictions (working in prison, he does not become angry and cruel to the suicide bombers who are completely in his power); all the orders coming from above he exposes to a thorough moral assessment and opposes the commission of unjust actions (compare with Hannah Hmitz from the film "The Reader", which without a trace of pity destroyed hundreds of Jews only because such an order was from the authorities); - John Coffey, personifying the healing riot of life, the desire for life, for good and compassion, but at the same time, and the punishing hand of the Lord; - Billy, brutally cruel and insane person, the absolute incarnation of evil and darkness, who will stop at nothin...

You know, you want to revise a rare film the next morning. The "Green Mile" is one of them. Do you remember? - Undoubtedly. For life. Than struck? What trace left? "I just left a burn on my heart." How all deceptive! Often we judge a person only by his appearance, physique, hair, without knowing at the same time what kind of a soul he has, that he eats, that does not allow to sleep ... "My name is John Coffey. Like a drink, it's just written differently. " Since the appearance, John Coffey has been watching tears all the time, he is so sensitive to the pain of others that life is ready to be given only by someone else, no matter how rascal he was in the past, was not left sick and lonely. Himself, he is so lonely that he no longer wants to exist like that. "I'm so tired of the pain I hear and feel, Boss. I'm tired of the roads, I'm tired of being alone, like a sparrow in the rain. Tired of the fact that I never share a co...

I got fucking still. The green mile is a film for me. He carries emotions. Such strong emotions that with each viewing I understand it deeper and crying more and more. Awesome. For me, he is the first in the ranking. The main thing in the film reflects the essence of many life situations. Percy is a narcissistic narcissist, who shows his "coolness" with his whole appearance, and pisses himself in his pants. It's disgusting. Vile type. Lovely John Kofi, who owns a powerful gift and is able to perform miracles. All his life he dedicates to others, sacrificing his own happiness and desiring to die. This image is very close to me. Moreover, if you remove superpowers, then people who care about others, more than themselves, as a rule, are punished, why in vain. Tom Hanks played the hero, mired in wine. The sense of guilt is very close to a sense of responsibility. It is very hard for him to bear this burden. He took the life of "one of the wonders of God." ...

The place of your last days. How should it be? What kind of people should work in this place? Or rather, what people can work in such a place? Severe and cold-blooded? Or kind and soft? And maybe people who do not care about these prisoners and they just carry their work? Oh, I do not know ... Okay, if all the prisoners are the same - bastards, rascals, who deserve a harsh fate. And if you get John Coffey, perhaps you will not know what to do ... Colorful Michael Clarke Duncan, striking in its size and face of the "child". Tom Hanks, who, as always playing, giving himself completely and giving the hero some part of himself - you look at his hero and do not doubt his honesty and "correctness". "Raging" and uncontrollable Sam Rockwell - this is not even an antagonist of the film, this hero as a kind of prism, refracting the course of action in the plot. Yes, and the hero Doug Hutchinsson can not be called a pronounced "antagonist, although it is u...

A beautiful picture that can not leave anyone indifferent to it, and indeed, the viewer can not experience neutral emotions when watching this film, because in it all the facets of morality, good and bad, all familiar feelings, such as friendship, empathy, pity, joy and hatred, all this, is shown very simply, without any subtext, directly, which attracted me even more, at least. The plot of the picture gives us endless variations for reflection and over our actions and our lives, because one of the main characters, and this is John Coffey, is the embodiment of the proverb "what you sow, you will reap", in relation to other characters of the picture, I watched this movie can be said in my childhood, maybe I did not realize all the splendor of the plot, but tears and emotions, as for the child was enough, and for already many years, I sit down with a pleasant feeling and look through this picture, once for at once and every time I find for myself everything more boundarie...

It's hard to find the right words ... I've seen a lot of good films, but most of them do not compare with the "Green Mile". Without exaggeration, I can say that this is a truly amazing and exceptional cinema with incredible energy, and exciting imagination with a unique storyline. And even an explanation on why he is so good would be superfluous. However, I still express my personal opinion. The film caused a flurry of enthusiasm, shock and universal approval is very well deserved. He is called a masterpiece. And it would be criminal to disagree with this. He enters into a state of trance and sadness, and in the end leaves an unforgettable aftertaste. In this case, despite the apparent gloom, it penetrates into the soul and makes even the strongest person become for a moment weak. That's what a movie with a special touch means. The "green mile" is difficult to classify in any particular genre. A real fairy tale? Mystical drama? The film capture...

I'll start with a little digression / indignation. I read negative reviews, where respected spectators take the liberty to say that the atmosphere of the "kindergarten" reigns in prison, that all these snotty expressions of tenderness between the hero Hanks and his wife in the picture are completely out of place, that real men working in the suicide bomber, So should not behave ... Read and thought: people, where is your heart in general? Where is the soul? In what hole did you bury them? Where is your empathy and empathy? At least for a moment you tried to put yourself in the place of heroes and imagine in what conditions they are forced to work? What is the strongest emotional strain they are experiencing? Or what, you all under one comb goes, they say, the policeman working in the block for the suicide bombers is a kind of insensitive machine, devoid of all emotions? Well, frankly speaking, it was disgusting to me to read such reviews, full of cynicism and unfoun...
