Death row Head Guard, Paul Edgecomb has walked many inmates to the electric chair at Louisiana State Prison but never has he met anyone like John Coffey, a massive Black man accused of child murder and rape.
That encounter changed Paul’s life forever. He met a giant with the most beautiful soul he had ever seen. John had the ability to heal and empathize. A tale about life, death and the wonders of the human spirit.
Written for the screen and directed by Frank Darabont
Based on the Novel by Stephen King
Starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan.
The called this the saddest ending in movie history and I believe.
3 hours of sheer sadness. If this movie doesn’t evoke some powerful emotions in you, just admit yourself into an asylum for the criminally minded.
Definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen. It is a “See for yourself” movie.
