How long is a mile, what happens to a mile, when a mile changes your destiny, do you still care how short it is?
In the execution cell of Cold Mountain Prison, what should have been a dreary and hopeless journey, was dubbed the "Green Mile" because of the green floor. When Paul and the guards named the road, Have you ever thought that this will be a road that creates miracles and will surely change their destiny.
Maybe at the beginning you and I were also wondering how such an abnormal plot would end, but we finally found that miracles can be found at any time, as long as you believe in its existence. In other words, as long as you pray sincerely, as long as you treat all beings with compassion, you will see miracles.
The black Coffey, who looks formidable but has a kind heart, seems like all miracles begin with his appearance. He is the spokesperson of God and an angel descended into the world. He cured Paul's hidden disease, saved the little mouse Mr. Jingles, and helped the sheriff's beautiful wife drive away the disease. He is like an angel waving a crystal rod to bring health, happiness and beauty to people, but he is just a black angel with some "thick lines". Maybe angels should be so different.
Coffey brought them more than that. He let Paul see another world. In that world, you can clearly see everyone's heart, whether it is good or evil, beauty or ugliness, pain or happiness, You can feel everything. This is Coffey's world. He looks at people's ugliness and pain every day. His eyes are so sad and compassionate as God. He deeply understands that people are born to suffer, and he understands that the more you get, the more you give. So he wants to save lives, even if he is misunderstood, betrayed, even if he loses his life.
In the end, after Paul and the jailers finally understood all this, Coffey's life was about to end, and the jailers were saddened by his "green miles" and sent him to sit on the "spark". Until this time, his mission to the world was finally completed. Paul asked him what his last words were, and he said, "I hope I'm not myself!" Seeing so much pain and grief, having suffered so much misfortune, if it were me, I would rather be an ordinary person, mediocre , may be happier. . .
Coffey died, but his power passed to me Paul. Paul has always lived with his life, watching the world for a long time, watching relatives leave, watching time pass, and feeling the suffering of the world.
Someone should be there to witness this, it's a gift!
