"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?"

Stephen King's greatest novel (and arguably best film) ever made is The Green Mile. In truth, this is one of the most touching and humble films that has ever been created, not because of the cinematography or the fact that Tom Hanks is the lead character, but because of the story. The story that disguises human truths all throughout it. A story about life, death, and the uncertainty of what is right vs. wrong. The story takes place in 1935, in a Georgia prison on what is known as the "Green Mile" or death row. The story incorporates the numerous, and wildly crazy, inmates that live on the mile waiting for their untimely demise. One inmate in particular, John Coffey, parallels a Christ-like figure who can perform miracles and healing powers. However, he has been wrongly accused of raping and murdering two young girls and has been sentenced to death. The course of the story sees the death of multiple men, a mouse, and inevitably, John Coffey. Coffey sacrifices himself because he is so aware of the pain and sensitive to the evils that have come into this world that he decides to take the punishment that is given him and dies in the electric chair. The story chronicles the New Testament and how human truths can disguise what is right and what is wrong. Innocence is the key to a long, yet naive, life.
