MR 1-02:THE GREEN MILE (essay 4)

I watched 'THE GREEN MILE' two times on TV. I like action and comedy movie, but this movie is a little dark and make me mediate. I felt many things when I watched the movie. So, I talk about 'THE GREEN MILE' this time.

When an old man watched some movie in old people's home, he remembered that he had been young. He started to cry suddenly, so his friend took out him for a walk. Then he began to talk about his experience of his youth slowly. His memory was strange and sad. He couldn't forget the memory, and the old man who has many complex feelings alive now.

The old man's name is Paul Edgecomb. He worked at the prison of Cold Mountain as a warder. He was sincere man, so he was yearned for his men. His men is excellent and reliable. But only Percy was insolent. He is a nephew of governor of the state, so he come it over with his boss and colleagues. He was hated everyone.

One day, a giant black man came the prison, because he killed two children. So he was pronounced the death penalty. When the warders made him enter the prison, he cried and said 'I wanted to return two girls, but I couldn't do that!'

The giant black man's name is John Coffey. He has a special ability, so he said ' I wanted to return...'. Actually, he can recovery people's illness and hurt, and also he can move away from a person to the other person. Coffey use his ability, and he wanted to help two girls. So, it was not him who killed two girls. He was not killer!
Paul noticed that Coffey is innocence, because he had his illness recovered by Coffey's special ability. He thought he wants to help Coffey, but Coffey said, 'I don't watch sad occurrence and hear sad news. So I want to die here.'

A prisoner walk to electric chair. The distance was called 'THE GREEN MILE', because a color of hallway was green. Many people died here, and Paul has watched it many times here. He seldom cries, but he cries truly when Coffey died. Paul and his men were very sad, but Coffey looked at peace on the deathbed.

Paul finished talking about his experience of his youth. Then, he said, 'When I had treated my disease, I got a drop of Coffey's special ability. So, I live very long time. But I am not happy, because I have to see my wife and my friend on their deathbed. So I sometimes want to die, but I can't. I killed an Innocent person, I must make up for doing.'

First, I thought the movie was scary, because a scene of two girls dying and death penalty seemed to be real. But the movie was not only scary and sad. The relationship between the warders and the prisoners was good, so it was touched my heart. I thought I want to watch the movie many times!
