Did "The Green Mile" make you cry?  

Haha why answer if you have never seen the movie. Oh well. I don't really cry from a movie based on whether it's true. I certainly have no impression that The Green Mile is true. I cried in the movie just because the story and the characters move me.

I love this movie. It has that supernatural element to make it stand out. This is not the everyday run of the mile film. It is well acted, directed and screen-played. I love the way Tom acted as the detail head. The little mouse, Mr Jinggles provide a worthy side-plot.

not gonna lie....gets me every time. especially when hanks character starts to cry when he's standing in front of him before they're gonna do coffey. :(

Oh yes the mouse! There were several parts that I found sad, too.

A movie that started without anything in sight except the goings-on at death row started building up into one of the greatest movie I have seen in a long while. That they can tie up the sub-plots together in the final 10 minutes is wonderful.

It is rather sad when you outlive your family and friends because of the supernatural element that got into you. Mr. Jingles also had longevity. What a twist of the plot in the fading minutes.

I recommend this movie!

i'd recommend it too, it is such a good movie, they're all such good actors too!

Me too! And at some other parts! I wanted to save him!

So did I!

Yes, generally a sad story of innocence on the part of Coffey. Who is this man? Why was his innocence not proven. Was it the cause of bigotry in those pre-war days? Did he came into the Green Mile to right the wrongs done to him? Interesting plot-lines. I love this movie as it can keep the suspense until the very end.

yeah I thought it was very moving

Yes, life is not a bed of roses. Justice may be elusive as we can see in the case of the innocence of Coffey. While we emphatize with Coffey, we knew that he would not escaped from the execution on the electric chair.

That the security detail could handle their jobs well all the while spoke volumes for them. They were stoic when Devereux was literally burnt to death through the electrocution process. However, they were in tears when Coffee was executed.

That speaks so much for the human condition.

That's right- everyone watch!

It would be very difficult to comment on the movie. You have to see it to appreciate it. It is a melancholic movie with unnecessary deaths. However, there is a silver lining. I won't tell you that. Go get the DVD and have fun!

Huh I never really thought about it but I think would be pretty interesting. The movie didn't really go into it, so I think you're right- that would make for an interesting prequel.

I have always wondered about that, too. I think that would make a great movie, and I would definitely go to see it. They would have to keep the same actor as John Coffey, though, except of course in the younger scenes that he obviously couldn't play.

Yeah, it would have to be the same actor for sure. He has such a presence- and where else would you find someone so big anyway?

I may write the prequel and then let the makers of the orignal buy it off me and give 10% of all future royalties. Well we can all dream can't we!
I just glad that it wasn't me left with all these questions.

Kelly, if you write the prequel, then you are going to let us get a sneak-preview, right? It just wouldn't be right to make us wait until the movie comes out to find out the answers to all our questions - lol!

i cried so much at the end when john coffey said dont put me in the dark i's a scared of the dark nd he got executed it was so sad at the end!

Yeah Coffey was so easy to feel bad for! He's such a big, strong man but everything about him was so sad, he was like a giant, innocent child.

I may start writing for TV and movies as I'm coming up with so many ideas. I watch the dectective show Monk and always thought they should do Monk The Childhood Years and guess what? They've just done Young Monk in the US and have finished filming.

My ideas really do seem to be worth something so I think that it's about time that I shared them with the people that matter. You never know I may be a millionaire sooner then I thought!

Makes me cry every time I watch it. That is what is so good about Stephen King. His characters are so strong and believable. I read the book and cried, I watched it at the cinema and cried, I watched it on DVD and cried and when it was on television. I am now crying again watching it on BluRay. John has just gone for a ride to see the governors wife. I will cry again when John meets the end and when he watches a movie. Top Hat. "Heaven, I'm in Heaven" Probably never would have heard this song if not for The Green Mile. Very poignant to the movie. Beautiful.

Well, a prequel will more be focused on John Coffey. So someone who have to write about him and his exploits. He must have succeeded in helping humankind until the time of the murder of the two girls which he finally went to the Green Mile walk to death. We can start to tell the story why he could not save the girl and finally has to lose his own life.

Oh yeah- at the beginning when they show him old you don't really know what's going on, but after the story is told and they show him old again you understand and it is all so sad!

i wanted so mauch to see the movie. i started to cry when i saw john caffey, because i knew thw story. i read the book, and impressed me very much. it is a touching movie and a great story.

The Green Mile is certainly a movie to be treasured. After seeing it on the TV, I went out and buy a DVD. I have watched it a couple of times. Each time, I could see snippets I was not aware at the first few viewings. Great movie!
