Green Mile is the BEST movie of 1999. It is absolute perfection on the screen.
Frank Darabont does an incredible job. Normally, such a 3 film tends to drag along, but not so with Green Mile. There is plenty going on at all times. In fact, the story would be hurt if the film was cut even 5 minutes. I salute the director, producer, and film company for being daring enough to release the film in its entirety, a move that likely cost it some box office dollars (many people are not willing to sit through such a long movie, plus the length limits the number of showings a day).
Tom Hanks and Michael Duncan are brilliant. There performances are second to done. All other parts are well-played, as well.
The plot, screen play, and dialogue are perfection. I can not imagine a better story, told more perfectly.
Green Mile envokes deep & true emotion in the viewer. Never before have I felt so involved a the movie. I truly felt the pain and joy of the characters.
When I saw American Beauty, I though there was no way it would be topped this year, but I was wrong. Green Mile is far better than American Beauty and deserves to win best picture. American Beauty is a truly great picture, but Green Mile is simply better. Green Mile is the best of the best and should help nail 1999's mark in movie history as one of the best years for movie making ever.
In conclusion, Green Mile is perfection on the screen, the best movie of the year, and perhaps the best ever. I give it a perfect 10, an honor which I have only ever given 1 movie before.
