    Paul Edgecomb: What did you just do to me?
    John Coffey: I helped it. Didn't I help it? I just took it back, is all. Awful tired now, boss. Dog tired.

    Still effective, although after Shawshank some of the luster is off of using the same tricks.

    This is a thoughtful, intelligent movie with outstanding direction. The plot veers into melodrama at times, with at least one coincidence that is overly convenient, but the humanity of the guards keeps the movie on track most of the time. Hanks is the American ideal, just, kind, capable, decent. Bonnie Hunt’s performance as Edgecombe's loyal, wise, patient, and very loving wife is a pleasure to watch. Doug Hutchison is terrific as Percy, the nephew of the governor's wife who is assigned to work for Edgecombe, and whose combined arrogance and insecurity lead to disaster. And Michael Clarke Duncan is deeply moving, showing us both Coffey's innocence and his dignity.

    I love this movie! I thought it would be another one of those "boring movies" just because of the name of the movie but it wasn't. In fact, I loved it and it was so cute, with the mouse:), but so awful with the eletric chairs:(. I would recommend this movie to anyone:)

    This film is beautiful. I watched it on christmas eve and i cried nearly all the way through.

    however...It must be said how much i hated Del's executioon scene. I am one who goes shakey watching any scene involving the electric chair, i am sure you can imagine how i was during this particular scene. To cut a long story short I couldnt sleep for 3 nights.
    Anyone who dosent enjoy execution scenes in particular i urge you to NOT watch this scene....and possibly the short scene afterwards.
