Having watched the 'Green Mile', you can say that i was emotionally drained after each screening of the movie at the eagles nest. there are so many different emotions that can swarm through one's heart or brain, but not all at the same time, that is, until i watched the 'Green Mile'. the deaths, the plight of the prisoners, the kind and the bad prison guards.. so many things. also, on the surface, the 'Green Mile' is just a movie about prison life, and how the prisoners suffer when given capital punishment. however, there is more significance to the movie than just watching people in prison. the 'Green Mile' revolves around life itself and whether life is fair or not. it shows us how precious life is, and that we cannot afford to do foolish things or even harbour foolish thoughts, because once we commit that unforgivable offence, there is no turning back and we must pay for it no matter how sorry we are. life is never fair, and there are always innocent people being harmed or framed by the guilty ones. on the other hand, if the law is said to be fair, then how come, up to this day, there are cases whereby innocent people like john coffey still have to pay for mistakes or crimes they never committed?
