it is a tale story with amazing screenplay, after 10 to 20 min of film ,the one scene will come after coffey got arrested( edgecomb reading that transcript statement about that murder ,the way director kept that incident scenes through that statement was brilliant ) then i thought this movie was something else After that the story getting intriguing but i won't say it was fantasy it was miracle .The each characters has the value of presence , you can feel that how that John coffey character felt that pain that Mr .jinggles also look real . its worth it for 3 hrs time taken . Must watch it
