Hi,

ok this thread is really old but I didn´t know where to write this...and it´s so cool to have the opportunity to do this, especially when you´ve watched a movie alone.

I´ve just watched The Green Mile and I have to thank all users here who told me months ago to read the book and to watch the movie.

I was surprised how good the movie was. The only thing I didn´t like was that Paul got some quotations of Brutal, who was my hero in the book

The whole time I was thinking "you won´t cry, ok?" but

Show Spoiler

when Del got his mouse back I couldn´t help myself (it´s ridiculous, isn´t it?)
I´m glad that this story is fictional because of Del. I already liked him in the book (hm...or I felt so sorry for him), but Michael Jeter was sooo cute in the movie and was such a great actor. Bit it´s strange to like him just because a mouse.

I don´t know why, but I thought of Braveheart while watching John Coffey in the movie.

My father watched it a long time ago and I wondered why he was close to tears (I didn´t know the movie then; even didn´t know the book).
I´ve should known it better, I´m just like my father...

The most surprising thing was that I wouldn´t have been so emotional if I hadn´t read the book before...so I think, it´s a great movie with great actors.

By the way, it was also really funny at some moments and Mr. Jingles is sooooooooo cute! Love mice.
I wonder why the mouse was something like a central character although Mr. King seems to hate rats.

*sigh*

Many greetings

I really liked The Green Mile (book and movie). It was one of the few movies that followed the book really well. Too many of the movies make you wonder if the director even read the book.

Another King masterpiece, watching it over and over and it never seems to get old or boring.
