"Characters Who are Wandering"

In this insight review by Kim D. Hester-Williams on the famous film THE GREEN MILE by director Frank Darabont. Kim's review says that concepts or ideas are "Wandering in the Dark". Coincidently, THE GREEN MILE is also depicted from a Stephen King novela with the same title. This review touches on issues such as genre. Some of the suggested genres that Hester-Williams speaks off are refering to the film as a Horror or a Sci/Fi. Why? Well, she says that it is due to some suspense scenes with scientific explications(read review for more information). Other issues addressed were such like the relationship between the inmates and the guards. The movie is trying to explain the similar parallels between these two characters during this era of the Great Depression.

One comment by Kim says, "Both King and the filmmaker, Frank Darabont; consistently romanticize Coffey's suffering by offering up a story where readers and viewers are directed to concentrate on the mysteriousness..... and not the racial oppression that he suffers."

I highly recommend this review that is similar to our movie patterns in The Shawshank Redemption.
