The Green Mile Movie
The touching movie is narrated by Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), an old man who lives in a nursing home and recollects his job as the head guard on Cold Mountain Penitentiary's Death Row, also known as the "Green Mile" for the green linoleum flooring leading from the jail cells to the electric chair. Paul has watched over a variety of killers but he has never before seen someone like John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a gigantic African-American man who is convicted of the rape and murder of two 9-year-old sisters. Despite his formidable size and strength to kill anyone, he seems to be a good-natured, polite, childlike man who is deathly afraid of the dark and is able to perform miracles of healing terminally ill people. When Edgecomb and his fellow guards, Howell (David Morse) and Stanton (Barry Pepper), discover that Coffrey hasn't committed the crimes for which he is sentenced to death, they are forced to make a difficult choice...
