I Plot Line

The 1999 film "The Green Mile" was helmed by Frank Darabont and written by Stephen King. The story, which is set in 1935, centers on Paul Edgecombe, played by Tom Hanks, a prison guard at Cold Mountain Penitentiary who is in charge of death row, popularly known as the Green Mile, where prisoners are waiting to be put to death.
The tale centers on Michael Clarke's portrayal of John Coffey, a large African-American man with supernatural abilities who is implicated in the rape and murder of two young girls. He has a gentle heart and compassion for everyone, despite the seriousness of the accusations and his frightening appearance. 
After learning about Coffey's abilities and witnessing his miracles, Paul and the other guards developed a strong affection for him. They made every effort to avert his execution and establish his innocence. 

Do watch this movie if you want to add positivity to your life.

I Good Points

The two principal actors give excellent performances that are filled with real passion, grabbing the audience's attention and telling the story. The movie poses interesting queries concerning morality, justice, and the definition of good and evil. The film features excellent cinematography and direction. It also demonstrates how to maintain optimism in the face of adversity, never judge a book by its cover, and maintain compassion even when things in our lives seem hopeless.

I Bad Points

The three-hour duration of the film may put viewers' patience to the test. With a tale set in the racially segregated American South of the 1930s, the film has drawn criticism for its lack of variety in character portrayal, especially concerning its mostly white cast.
