I have given it the rating of 9.5 out of 10 because if its emotional storytelling. It is because of its strong performance and unforgettable characters. Another reason is that it delivers powerful life lessons.

The movie is set in a prison during the 1930s. It follows the lives of the prison guards who are working on the death row. It is also known as The Green Mile. The story mainly focuses on the story of the prisoner John Coffey. He is a huge and physically intimidating man who is accused of murdering two young girls. He appears awful because of his size. But slowly Paul Edgecomb who is the head of the prison guards realizes that Jhn Coffey is actually a kind hearted person. He is gentle and emotionally innocent.

As the story develops the strange miracles start happening around John Coffey. Paul realizes that Coffey have amazing healing powers and a pure soul. This creates a painful conflict. Because the guards start questioning whether a person has committed a crime or not.

The movie is very emotional from the beginning to the end. It deeply explores the humanity, injustice, compassion, and guilt.

Which scene still stays in your mind? Why?

The scene that still stays in my mind is the execution scene of John Coffey. Before his execution John Coffey says that he is tired of the cruelty in the world. He was tired o fthe pain which people cause each other. The sadness in his voice made the scene incredibly emotional for me.

This scene becomes unforgettable when John Coffey accepted his fate peacefully. He has shown kindness and humanity throughout the movie. Th guards were emotionally broken. They knew that he was not an evil person.

The scene stayed in my mind. It showed how injustice can destroy innocent lives while the world remains silent. When the movie ended I kept thinking about the character of Coffey and the unfairness he faced in the world.

What message did you carry forward?

The biggest message which I carried from this movie is that we should not judge others from their appearance. We should not judge on the basis of the rumors and assumptions.

John Coffey looked frightening because of his large size. But in reality he had one of the purest hearts in the entire movie. The film taught me that goodness and kindness can exist in the most unexpected people.

Another important message was about the humanity and injustice. Sometimes innocent people suffer. Because the society is too quick to judge and too slow to understand the truth. The movie also reminded me the importance of the compassion and empathy in the
human life.

I also learned that every action leaves an emotional impact on the lives of the others. Some of the guards carried guilt and emotional pain. Because they feel ashamed what happen to John Coffey.
