The Green Mile / Ya-Hui

This film is based on the same name novel which was written by Stephen King. The story is set in Georgia, U.S. in the 1930s and Cold Mountain Penitentiary death row. John Coffey, a giant black man, was accused of murdering two small white girls, because he was found beside the dead bodies, and then he was sent to the death row. John has a mysterious power to cure disease and know what you did or what you felt as you touched his body. He used this power to cure Paul Edgecomb (a prison guard) and other people’s diseases, find the real murderer out, and punish the murderer by his way. Paul also knew that John didn’t murder the girls. He tries to help John, but there is nothing he can do for him. But once after the real murderer touched John’s arm and he saw the things happened on the girls, he doesn’t want to be pardoned and wants to escape the world. He feels that life is vey cruel and he can’t bear ** any more. At least, he died on the electric chair.
In this film, there is an extreme contrast between John and ** other prisoners or the bad guard. He is a very kind-hearted person, sometimes just like a child, but other prisoners or the bad guard did the very evil acts. There also have complex emotions between John and other people. The story can catch your attention easily. I highly recommend it.
