Here is the brief plot of the beginning of this complex film that consists of drama, mystery and crime:
Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) walked the mile with a variety of cons. He had never encountered someone like John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a massive black man convicted of brutally killing a pair of young sisters. Coffey had the size and strength to kill anyone, but not the demeanor. Beyond his simple, naive nature and a deathly fear of the dark, Coffey seemed to possess a prodigious, supernatural gift. Paul began to question whether Coffey was truly guilty of murdering the two girls.
Coffey :
In a way, Coffey is a form of god and has been bestowed upon earth as a sacrificial lesson to the humans to witness his existence.
Paul: After having to unwillingly charge Coffey with murder and rape of two girls (although he wasn’t guilty), Paul is cursed.
