Film #42: THE GREEN MILE (1999)

So another Tom Hanks film.
This was a strangely lovely film but also was deep and really postmodern.
It was a story based around Hanks being a prison officer who has a man in his section with strange powers to be able to heal and bring people back from the dead. He first proves this when he heals Hanks of a bladder infection. The story follows Hanks and his fellow prison officers as they try to help a friend of their get better after suffering with a long term illness and being close to death. However they also have troubles with the new prison officer and new prisoner that come to their prison.
It was a really good watch and I did enjoy it...but has Tom Hanks ever done a bad film?
That was rhetorical, of course he hasn't!
