My Green Mile
I was watching this incredible movie the other day and a couple of things came to mind.
#1 A question – If you were in a position to experience and know that someone you were dealing with was one of God’s miracles, like the way John Coffey was, but due to evidence in the court of law they were wrongfully guilty of a crime and sentenced to death to be carried out by you, would you carry it out or not in fear of being sentenced to damnation at the pearly gates?
I would not. No matter what the immediate cost to livelihood. But, I know a lot you still would deep down if it meant loss of status, home or personal peril.
For a lot of people the “here and now” means more than the “then and after”. I’m not trying to get religious or anything but I just think that this is an interesting perspective.
The other underlying message I got was how anti-death penalty the film was. I felt that point was very artistically executed. Anyway, Stephen King is genius like we didn’t already know that.
