There is one detail that the bean friends told me, that necklace pendant, St. Christopher. Actually I don't know this biblical story, bean friends say St. Christopher is a giant. He once crossed the river carrying God on his back. God incarnated as a child and sat on his back, but it was very heavy. He asked God why are you so heavy. God said, because I carry all the sufferings in the world.
I think this is the best mapping of Coffey.
The first time I burst into tears was when Mr.Jingles was trampled. Green Mile is the last journey of a prisoner's life, how lucky he is to meet Mr. Jingles, bring laughter and hope. But when Jingle was hurt, what was lost was not only Jingle's vitality, but also the vitality of the death row prisoner. The heart-rending loss was simply hopeless. In fact, the story between Jingle and the death row prisoner, even in the most euphoric moments of performance, still carries a known desperation, after all, the ending is doomed.
Later, that dreamy rat city, next to Dog University, was a beautiful lie prepared by the prison guards. That was my second tear. I thought Trevor must be pretending to be deceived for such a clumsy lie. But in Trevor's final moments, it was really cruel to be nakedly exposed to this lie.
I can't remember the last few tears...
but when Coffey left, I actually cried. In the subway, tears were flowing, and it is estimated that people around me thought I was a snake spirit. Especially the sentence, please, I'm afraid of the dark. Poke in tears.
Suddenly remembered the beginning, the prison guard said, big man? It can't be bigger than you...haha. This big black man, timid and kind, fraternal and patient...he is a miracle of God.
