If you’re someone who enjoys emotional stories that leave a lasting impression, The Green Mile is a film you absolutely need to see. It’s not loud or fast-paced like most blockbusters. Instead, it slowly pulls you in with a story that’s touching, mysterious, and honestly… pretty unforgettable. I didn’t expect it to stay in my head the way it did, but here we are.

## The Storyline
So, the story is told through the eyes of Paul Edgecomb a kind-hearted prison guard who works on death row during the 1930s. His job? Making sure everything runs smoothly until an inmate walks “the green mile” which is basically the path to the electric chair.

One day, a new prisoner comes in: John Coffey. He’s huge, quiet, and looks scary at first glance. But from the moment he speaks, you realize there’s something really different about him and I don’t just mean his size.
## The Plot
At first, it feels like just another prison story. But then things start getting strange in a good way. John Coffey was convicted for a horrible crime, but Paul starts to wonder if he’s even guilty. Why? Because this man seems more gentle than dangerous… and then there’s the small fact that he can do things no human should be able to do.

As the movie unfolds, it becomes clear that The Green Mile isn’t just about prisons or criminals. It’s about people and what happens when we choose to really look at someone instead of judging them. It’s emotional, magical, and heavy all at once.
## A Man Like No Other
John Coffey is the kind of character you don’t forget. He’s big and strong but acts like a little kid kind, soft-spoken, and full of emotion. You can feel that he’s carrying some deep pain, and watching him just makes your heart ache. Michael Clarke Duncan did an amazing job with the role. I’m not even joking you feel every word he says.

## Not Just a Sad Movie
Yes, this movie will mess with your feelings, but it’s not just sadness for the sake of being sad. It shows what happens when good people try to do the right thing in a world that isn’t always fair. There are moments of hope, moments of kindness, and even a bit of supernatural mystery that makes the story feel magical in the middle of all the darkness.
Some scenes hit so hard, you’ll just sit there staring at the screen. And the ending? Prepare yourself. It’s emotional, beautiful, and painful all at once.
## Why You Should Watch It
If you want a movie that actually means something, The Green Mile is it. It’s not full of explosions or crazy stunts. Instead, it’s full of heart, questions about life and justice, and characters that feel so real you’ll forget they’re acting.
I’d give The Green Mile a solid 9 out of 10. It’s not the kind of movie you forget in a week. It sticks with you and sometimes, that’s exactly what a great movie should do.
Take your time with this one. It’s long, but trust me it’s worth every second.
