This is actually inspired by the real case of George Stinney Jr. was the youngest person sentenced to death in the 20th century in the United States. He was only 14 when he was executed by electric chair. He was accused of killing 2 girls even though he was innocent. Stephen King was inspired by the case and he wrote green mile which was then adapted to film. The story breaks my heart because he was innocent and had nothing to do with their murders.

Paul was 44 the year John Coffey (age unknown) walked the Green Mile (1935) which means he was born in 1891. So, in '99 Paul was 108 and Mr Jingles was 64 or 65 years old. A pet mouse in captivity has an average life expectancy of about 3 years... makes you wonder how long Paul will live, eh?! Several hundred years probably. John must've been a thousand years old, at least... and he said he was so tired. Think about this: An ordinary man named Paul is telling the story of a miracle man with the initials JC. JC is a powerful empath, a seer, a healer and a teacher, who gave so many on Earth the gift of love and LIFE and then suffers his own death for the sins of others, that he may live in Heaven for eternity. Sound familiar?

Percy was a truly wretched creature. He was a perfect coward, in every sense. He came from money and privilege. In that era, his family was too powerful for him to ever suffer recriminations for his actions. He was small in stature, and back then that would make others, and himself, see him as less of a man. He wanted that job so he could be in a position of power and control over others. He wanted to hurt people to feel strong. But he had no courage of his own. He, repeatedly, would crumble and freeze at the slightest threat to him. And when the others showed him that his connections couldn't save him from them, he caved. The reason he did what he hid to Del, was because of how he mocked Percy after he pissed himself. Del was no longer afraid of him, and sang that little song about him squishing in his pants. Someone like Percy couldn't let that go, and wanted revenge. It wasn't just his cruelty, it was his need to get back at Del. And I think even he realized he went too far, after he had to look away. He wasn't sorry, but he knew how far he had gone. And the problem with someone like him, being a true sadist, is that, given the chance, he would do it again, or something worse. But one of the fascinating things I saw in the character was that, unlike many depictions of bullies, he didn't draw any courage from his baton or gun. When confronted with Billy, he couldn't use them. What Percy drew his courage from was the bars between him and the prisoners. They were his shield, like his Mother was for his actions. He was brave, only when there was a wall between him and his victims. I think that was why, when Billy grabbed him through the bars, scared him so badly. The bars no longer were a protection for him. Percy was so weak a person that he hated anyone he saw as stronger than himself. Which was everyone.

I always made sure to watch this movie alone because I'd always bawl at the end. It wouldn't be a complete experience without crying. Michael Clarke Duncan was so good in this. He was totally robbed of an Oscar. The motions he went through in preparation for his role as John Coffey was actually intense, he had to go back and revisit his greatest fears in his childhood and use those as the catalyst to his performance. That's why his character and his perpetually frightened state was so believable.

"The ultimate conduit of empathy" is probably the most accurate and succinct way I have ever heard John's character described. Nicely done! This is one of the best book to film adaptations I have ever seen. The director, Frank Darabont, co-wrote the screenplay with Stephen King (the novel was actually released as a six-part series). The casting was brilliant; Michael Clarke Duncan was so perfect. If you're in the mood for something fun, the Whole Nine Yards is a fun comedy with Duncan, starring Bruce Willis. Can we also talk about how ridiculously unfair it is that the warden got his wife's diagnosis before she did? Women's husbands were usually given full reign over their wives' healthcare decisions.

John Coffey, if you think about it, is the personification of Good. He's a Christ figure, complete with the desire to die at an early age because the World, and the people in it, because he was worn down and out. He'd done what he was here to do, as long as he could, and then, he needed to go. Had to go.

I remember when this book came out. King wanted to challenge himself to do what Dickens did and publish a book chapter by chapter in its own book so that he couldn't go back and rewrite early chapters and would have to put out as close to a perfect chapter as he could. So every month a new chapter of The Green Mile was published as its own tiny book. Brilliant. Oh, and Wild Bill was the great Sam Rockwell in one of his earliest roles.
