Green Mile The Green Mile Five years after Frank Darabont directed The Shawshank Redemption, he finally decided to put out another movie. After creating a film that was widely accepted as a masterpiece, he obviously had a lot to live up to with his next project. Like the Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile was based on a novel by Stephen King, and while its both moving and beautiful, it isn’t quite as satisfying. The Green Mile is set in the 1930’s in Louisiana. Tom Hanks plays Paul Edgecomb, a prison guard at a state penitentiary. His job is to guard and supervise death-row inmates at E-block, which they refer to as “the green mile” because the floor is the color of faded limes. One day an enormous black man named John Coffey is transferred into E-block for the vicious murder of two young girls. At first sight we can tell this man is shy and scared. It hardly seems that he is capable of murder, and he even asks if they turn the lights out at night. Shortly after that, Edgecomb and a few of the other guards come to realize that Coffey is no murderer. mile, green, out, prison, movie, after, one, long, guard, good, film, while, very, three, shawshank, set, seems, satisfying, redemption, quite, performance, people, murder, moving, movies, man, little, king, job, it’s, hours, hanks, great, gave, found
