This is a very, very good movie. It's definitely an emotional roller-coaster, but will leave you with a very warm feeling at the end. I can't really say anymore without giving away the story... Definitely not for kids 13 or under, as it is very sad and graphic at parts. The cruelty displayed in some scenes is nearly unbearable, especially for children. The plot would be very hard for a child to wrap his head around, and the execution scene, and the flashbacks of the rape/murder of two little girls would perhaps give him/her nightmares. There is one comical sex scene, however only the sounds are heard from outside of the window. This movies shows the best and worst in humanity, and should definitely be seen by everyone at some point in their life.

I can not say I saw Coffey's execution in full detail, as I got the edited version. The language was coarse at times, and the violence (or what I got of it) was strong and brutal. It is deeply moving, and makes you think what has currently become of humanity, and also has some sci-fi in there for the Trekkies. I believe everybody should see this movie before they visit their "mile."

The Green Mile is one of the best Stephen King's book-movie adaptions I have ever seen. It is very moving and intense, and can be very disturbing at times. Especially the execution scene. And I will admit, I did cry. The movie will move you, make you laugh, give you heartbreak, and will make you cry. But it is very mature. Young children will not be able to handle the execution scene. My suggested MPAA rating, R: Disturbing violence, explicit pervasive language, sex-related material, and strong thematic content

Even if sometimes you can barely understand what the people are saying!!

...But an even greater book!!! Some of the social behavior in this movie is utterly horrific! Yet some f it is just heart-warming!

"Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Bonnie Hunt star in this great film epic that you just don't want to end! Death scenes are both intense and disturbing, yes, but it helps you grasp the feel of being one of the prisoners! Listening, watching, WAITING for the execution that you know will end your life. Tom Hanks is great as prison guard Paul Edgecomb. As does Duncan as the accused double-murderer, John Coffey. The only let down is the language which is both continuous and explicit. But positive messages fill this very close adaption to the belovedStephen King novel. Such as how God is the almighty, trust, love, forgiveness, loyalty, and sticking up for what's right, no matter the consequences. At age 12, it was the first movie I'd ever cried in the end of. (I'm sorry, I just don't cry from The Notebook. Seen it 3 or 4 times, never cried. Maybe when I'm older.)And to this day is one of the only two movies I've ever cried in. It's a wonderful, breathtaking, and marvelous journey into another world(not literally)...except you never leave your Living Room. Go see it, I highly recommend it!"

I read the book recently and I've seen the movie five times and it definitly is one of the best stories ever. The film is truthfully not very heavy in most areas. There is a lot of cursing including racial slurs and there are a few sexual references. The violence is not traditional prison violence. Their are few inmates so there is a different type of violence. There is a scene where a man tries choking a guard and it is one of the more violent scenes. Not a very heavy scene though. An inmate's hand is broken by a guard. It isn't a very violent scene. A guard shoots an inmate to death, and an inmate innapropriatly touches a guard, again, very brief. The violence is not heavy or explicit and worse is found in common video games and most modern movies, such as The Dark Knight. There are three execution scenes in the film an one can be very scary for most viewers. A man is burned to a crisp. The other two are mild. There is really no drug use. The most adult aspect of the story is the story itself. The story is a very dramatic story about a man with the power of healing. It is a very emotional film that takes a humane person to watch it. Young people can see the conflicts and discuss the problems and become attached to the characters and feel the emotions of them. I recommend that anybody that has an understanding of life watch this film. If your child can handle a dramatic film then I think they should definitly see it.

I just watched this film last night, and I was absolutely mesmorized. It is no doubt, my favourite film. It has got and extravagent storyline, brilliant acting and the script is awesome. Although, I don't think it is suitable for kids, unless they are very, very mature. There is one scene in which a certain character is executed, but a wet sponge was not placed on the victim's head, and so, he literally frazzled to death. There is just screaming for that whole 2 mins. Very graphic, I think that if you were to let your child watch this, definately leave out that scene. Some other violence, including a man being shot several times, bloody marks on his chest, and there is also an upsetting scene in which the main character ( well, one of them), is executed. There are some sexual references, and a sex scene, although it is heard, for about 10 seconds, and not seen. Some swear words, f*** about 7 times, the word n*gg*r is used against John Coffey, mostly spoken by 'Wild Bill'. There are some references to a man raping and killing two little girls, but the actual rape is not seen. Viewers, even adults, will probably cry at this film, as it is extraordinary at really making you feel a part of it. I reccomend for about teens, maybe younger if your child is really, really mature. Thanks for reading. :)
