Plot

The Green Mile is a story told in flashback by an elderly Paul Edgecomb (played by veteran character actor Dabbs Greer in his final film role) in a nursing home. He tells a friend about the summer of 1935 when he was a corrections officer in charge of Death Row inmates in Louisiana's Cold Mountain Penitentiary. His domain was called "The Green Mile" because the condemned prisoners walking to their execution are said to be walking "the last mile" here, on a stretch of green linoleum. The main feature of the cellblock was "Old Sparky", the electric chair. Robert William Dabbs Greer (April 2, 1917 — April 28, 2007) [1]) was an American character actor who performed many diverse supporting roles in film and television for about 50 years. ... 1935 (MCMXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar). ...

One day, a new inmate arrives, John Coffey, a muscular 8 foot tall African-American man convicted of raping and killing two young white girls. Upon being escorted to his cell, he immediately demonstrates a "gentle giant" character--keeping to himself, afraid of the dark and being moved to tears on occasion. Soon enough, Coffey reveals his extraordinary healing powers by healing Edgecomb's urinary tract infection and resurrecting a mouse. Later, he would heal the terminally ill wife of Warden Hal Moores (James Cromwell) who had a brain tumour the size of a lemon. Although it is clear that Coffey has a degree of control over his power, when asked to explain it, he merely says that he "took it back."

At the same time, Percy Wetmore (Doug Hutchison), a violent, sadistic, and potentially mentally ill guard who takes pleasure in intimidating and injuring inmates, exasperates everyone else in the cellblock. He "knows people, big people" (he was the nephew of the governor's wife), in effect preventing Edgecomb or anybody else from doing anything significant to curb his deviant behavior. Wetmore recognizes that the other officers greatly dislike him, and uses that to demand being promoted or managing the next execution. After that, he promises, he will have himself transferred to an administrative post in the Briar Ridge mental hospital, and Edgecomb will never hear from him again. A reluctant agreement is made, but Edgecomb comes to regret it after Wetmore deliberately sabotages the electrocution, inflicting as much pain as possible on Eduard Delacroix (Michael Jeter), a Cajun inmate who had previously embarrassed him (though even Percy is horrified by the gruesome spectacle of Delacroix's death).

John Coffey (Duncan) being escorted to his execution by Edgecomb (Hanks) and Brutus Howell (David Morse).

Meanwhile, a violent prisoner named William Wharton (Sam Rockwell) arrives, due to be executed for multiple murders he committed during a robbery. At one point he seizes Coffey's arm, and Coffey senses that Wharton is the true killer of the two girls, the crime for which Coffey was falsely convicted and sent to death row. Coffey then uses his powers to compel Wetmore to empty his handgun into Wharton, after which Wetmore falls into a permanent catatonic state. Stunned by these events, Edgecomb queries Coffey, who says he "punished them bad men", then takes Edgecomb's hand and imparts the vision that he saw of what really happened to the girls, a vision that Edgecomb finds nearly unbearable to endure. Wharton is dead at Wetmore's hand, and Wetmore ends up as a patient at the very asylum to which he promised Edgecomb he would transfer. Image File history File links The_green_mile_2q. ...

Notwithstanding Coffey's incredible abilities and the wrongness of his conviction, he ends up being executed, due in large part to the racism prevalant at the time and place of the story (the movie was set in the Depression-era American South). Another key factor was how Coffey was constantly depressed by all the pain in the world and "how people are always ugly to each other", describing it as "like glass shards in my head, driving me crazy." And therefore refused to have the death sentence overturned. The proper story ends there, and Edgecomb says he subsequently transferred from Death Row to a youth detention center, where he spent the remainder of his career. The story then returns to the present, where Edgecomb explains to his friend why he is able to remember the events of 1935: he is in fact 109 years old and still in excellent health. This is apparently a side effect of the life-giving power of Coffey's touch: a significantly lengthened lifespan. Mr. Jangles, the mouse resurrected by Coffey, is also still alive — but Paul believes his outliving all of his relatives and friends to be a punishment from God for not stopping Coffey's execution. Mr. Jangles, being a mouse, should only have had a maximum lifespan of 1 or 2 years, yet he has lived for over half a century, so Paul dreads to think how long he himself has left to live, being a human. As he puts it, he has deep thoughts about how "We each owe a death, there are no exceptions, but, oh God, sometimes, the Green mile seems so long." Historic Southern United States. ...

Characters

Paul Edgecomb

The protagonist of the story, Edgecomb is the head corrections officer of a Louisiana Death Row during the 1930s. He narrates the story of his time on the Green Mile in flashbacks. Paul is cured of his urinary infection by John Coffey. Later Coffey shows Paul who the real killer of the girls is and as a result Paul is given the gift of life. He is at his wits' ends with the conniving and abusive officer Percy Wetmore, along with the vexatious "Wild Bill" Wharton.

John Coffey

Coffey is an enormous black man who arrives on the Mile for raping and killing two young girls. Despite the utter horror of the crime he allegedly committed, Coffey is favored by officers and inmates of the prison because of his incredibly gentle and kind nature, which also begins to make Edgecomb question Coffey's alleged guilt. Towards the end of the story it is revealed that he was innocent and that Wharton was the real perpetrator of the girls' rape and murder. He is afraid of the dark, and his character is akin to one of an innocent child, making the crime he is accused of very unbelievable. He makes little effort to avoid being executed, because he finds difficulty living a world that he considers to be very cruel. Coffey has the super-natural ability to heal others, which he simply refers to "as taking it back". He makes a particularly strong impression on Edgecomb after he cures his Urinary Tract infection. In a biblical sense he is in reflection of "Jesus Christ", given his initials "JC", healing power and feeling the world's pain.

Brutus "Brutal" Howell

Second-in-charge of Cold Mountain's Death Row, Brutus Howell, often referred to as "Brutal" by the others, is Paul Edgecomb's closest friend. Despite his intimidating name and imposingly large frame, Brutal is a calm, affable individual, but he does have a temper, which he mostly displays towards Wetmore. Like Edgecomb, Howell comes to accept that Coffey is not guilty of the crimes he did not commit.

William "Wild Bill" Wharton

William Wharton, who prefers to be known as "Billy the Kid", but is known to the inmates and officers as "Wild Bill", is an extremely hyperactive, mischievous and intimidating inmate — described by the warden as "a problem child". He serves as an antagonist, and was later revealed to be a deranged killer and rapist. According to John Coffey's vision when he made physical contact with Wharton, he worked on the farm where the two girls lived, abducted, raped and murdered them. It is also implied Wharton is racist, as during the film he repeatedly uses the racial slur "nigger". Near the end, he is shot to death by Percy, to whom a disease was passed on by Coffey. For other uses, see Billy the Kid (disambiguation). ...

Eduard Delacroix

Eduard Delacroix, better known as "Del", is a fairly well-adjusted inmate who becomes a friend of John Coffey. Del discovers a mouse whom he names Mr. Jangles, who becomes his closest friend on death row. He and Wetmore despise each other. Del even laughs at Percy after he is attacked by Wharton. Wetmore later stomps on Mr. Jangles, severely injuring it, but the mouse is healed by Coffey. Finally, Del's execution is sabotaged by Wetmore in order to inflict maximum pain on him. The electrocution becomes so extreme and inhumane that even the family of Delacroix's victims are horrified, as is Percy.

Arlen Bitterbuck

Arlen Bitterbuck is a Native American who was in prison before John Coffey arrived at Cold Mountain. Repentant of what he has done, on the night of his execution he confides in Paul Edgecomb about his belief that, if a person were truly sorry for his sins, he would go to heaven upon his death.

Percy Wetmore

Wetmore is an abusive, cynical and sadistic corrections officer inside the prison who assaults the inmates. He flaunts the fact that his aunt is married to the state governor, giving him the authority to justify his unruly behavior. He often uses this to his advantage whenever he is assigned an undesirable task by having the state governor call the warden's office to chastise the rest of the staff. Wetmore is tormented by Wild Bill, a serial killer in the prison whom he later murders. The other officers later throw Wetmore into the restraining room, bound in a straitjacket to confine him from witnessing their covert operation of temporarily bringing Coffey out of prison to have him heal the warden's wife, and at the same time, to punish him for sabotaging Eduard Delacroix's execution. They later release Wetmore, coercing him to accept his punishment and not make further complications by reporting the incident. Minutes later, he is grabbed by Coffey, who passes the sickness he absorbed from Moores' wife into him. Now cursed with the disease, he empties his clip into Wharton, killing him. Wetmore then goes into a permanent, catatonic state. He is placed into a mental health institution which, ironically, is Briar Ridge Mental Hospital, the institution he was applying at for a transfer from Cold Mountain.

Harold "Hal" Moores

The warden of Cold Mountain Prison, Hal Moores is a friend of the Edgecombs, and his personal life provides much of the drama of the movie. Early on, it was revealed that his wife Melinda had an inoperable brain tumor which was cured when Coffey "took it back" when they snuck him out of E-Block.

Mr. Jangles

A mouse that initially caused a deal of drama among the inmates and caretakers of E-Block, but was later adopted by Delacroix as a pet. Mr. Jangles was fatally wounded when Percy stamped on him, but was miraculously healed by Coffey. The mouse's lifespan was extended as a side-effect of being in Coffeys hand while he was taking in the pain of Del's execution. On Del's execution day the caretakers convinced him that Mr. Jangles was promoted at a Mouse Circus in Souriville, Florida. The mouse was still alive at the time of Edgecomb's telling of the story, but visibly aged with extremely limited mobility.

Deviations from source material

The book cover

The Green Mile is, for the most part, faithful to Stephen King's original novel. There are, however, a few slight alterations. Image File history File links 0452278902. ... Image File history File links 0452278902. ...

• In the book, the events surrounding John Coffey, take place in 1932. This changes to 1935 for the film.

• The novel is a written story, delivered by the elderly Edgecomb to his fellow nursing home patient, Elaine. Each of the six volumes includes both an entry in the Green Mile story, as well as brief bookend scenes taking place in a modern day nursing home. These scenes included not only Edgecombe's relationship with Elaine, but also his interaction with a sadistic employee, Brad Dolan, who reminds him of Percy Wetmore, his Green Mile co-worker. It is these interactions that cause him to remember 1935, his last year on the Mile. In the film, Brad Dolan is left out completely, and the bookend sequences only take place at the very beginning and end of the movie. Instead of Dolan, it is watching the 1935 film Top Hat that provokes the flashback, and this film is added to the main storyline as well, in which John Coffey's last request is to be able to see a "flicker show" (motion picture) before he is executed.

• In the book, Hal Moores has an assistant named Curtis Anderson. He does not appear in the film, and his lines and scenes are given to Moores instead. Other inmates on the Green Mile in the book who did not have speaking roles, and are inconsequential to the plot, are also omitted.

• The first and second volumes of the book are told out of chronological order. The first book begins with the arrival of Coffey, and provides details of the murder for which he was convicted. At this point in time, inmate Eduard Delacroix already has his pet mouse, Mr. Jangles, and another inmate, Arlen Bitterbuck, has already been executed. The second book goes back in time, to before Coffey is brought in, to explain where Mr. Jangles came from, and who Bitterbuck was. The film re-arranges these events so that Coffey's arrival is the first event to take place, and all others follow it.

• In the book, strong evidence — ignored by the authorities — is presented to the reader of Coffey's innocence in Edgecomb's eyes: for example, the tracking dogs' confusion at the site of the girls' murder, resulting from the murderer and the girls' bodies leaving in different directions. In the movie, however, Coffey grabs Edgecomb's hand and, along with transferring "life" to him, also shows Edgecombe who really killed the two girls.
