So kind

This movie made me cry, especially at the end, even Paul did not hold back his tears at the end.
John, a super tall black man, is destined to be extraordinary. When I saw his tearful and timid eyes, I began to wonder, did he really kill? Does he really kill? Later, it was discovered that John has an innate superpower. He can absorb people's illnesses and then expel the bad things out of his body. He was kind and helped many people. He is as simple as an angel, he is a child of God. But I know this is impossible in real life, so such kindness does not exist, but through John it reflects the darkness and evil in human nature.
Although the French prisoners in the prison had committed heinous crimes, they gradually became kind. He can get along with a little mouse. He was worried about the rat's safety and hunger, and he performed acrobatics with him to bring happiness to others. He is so kind. This is the kindness of human nature in reality.
Paul and his friend and wife are kind and good people, and prison guard Percy is a bad person. Good and evil contrasted with each other, and finally confronted each other on the day of execution. When Pesci deliberately did not add water to the sponge when executing the death sentence for the French, this kind man died in pain; the perverted criminal led his crime to John, but in the end he still did not escape John’s punishment. Percy is mentally perverted and uses power to fly domineering, but in the end there is a reason for the crime. The evil has been punished and the good has been punished.
Such kindness!

The Green Mile quotes

  • [last lines]

    Old Paul Edgecomb: We each owe a death - there are no exceptions - but, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long.

  • Paul Edgecomb: On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job?

    John Coffey: You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?

    Paul Edgecomb: Yes, John. I think I can.
