"I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's going to, coming from 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 every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time... Can you understand?"---John Coffey

Movie Moments that Moved Me(23)

There are films that bring tears to your eyes. There are films that break your hearts. And then there is 'The Green Mile'. More than 30 works of
#StephenKing have been adapted into movies and of all those, Stephen King called TGM the single most faithful adaption of his works. One of the most emotionally stirring dramas of all time without any doubt, TGM will make you break down at some points over its three hours runtime and if that doesn't happen you can argue that you are stone-hearted. Where TGM scored the best was in giving life to a plethora of characters that stay with you for a long time.
#JohnCoffey, eternalized by
#MichaelClarkeDuncan is one of the most definitive movie characters of all time for me and he'll surely make you go numb towards the final act.
#TomHanks has given life to so many brilliant characters over the years and
#PaulEdgecomb of TGM will definitely have a top spot among his best. Tom Hanks said that TGM is about 'great myths that communicate the complexities of being a human.' You'll feel for Del and his mouse Jingles. Percy Wetmore is one of the most sadistic movie characters of all time and you'll definitely hate him upon finishing TGM. Wild Bill played by
#SamRockwell also leaves a mighty impression. Frank Darabont who also directed
#TheShawshankRedemption and
#TheMist, both Stephen King adaptions makes me wonder how nice it would have been had he directed all of the master writer's film adaptions (except
#TheShining and
#StandByMe of course). David Tattersall's cinematography and Thomas Newman's score also contributed lots in making TGM eternal. Frank Darabont called Newman's score 'a rainbow of music and emotion'.
