The three areas of criteria that I find are the backbone of this film are the story, the actors, and lastly the setting of the film. The most important aspect of this film for examination is the story of “The Green Mile”. Stephen King (author) and Frank Darabont (director) did an exceptional job when it comes to the story of this film. As I stated above, a man is wrongly put in jail and is sentenced to death for murdering two girls. Instead of Stephen King making it just another story about…

It can be drawn that this principle is close to his heart as it is craftily presented in most of his works. Frank…

assigned seats and who fits best where and so forth.

Before analyzing The Walking Dead, it is important to note that the writers and producers of the show, Gale Anne Hurd, Frank Darabont, and Greg Nicotero have worked on popular films previously. A prime example of this Greg Nicotero having worked as a special effects supervisor for the widely acclaimed novel to movie adaptation of Stephen King’s The Green Mile, which Frank Darabont also directed; later the two also worked together for Stephen King’s novel to film adaptation of The Mist; whereas…

wasn’t that therapeutic as I remember afterwards throwing my knife into the wild grass to pull at my hair and yell incoherently at the sky. I returned to my backpack to grab another bottle of Jack Daniels. The Sinatra Select. A whiskey in honour of Frank Sinatra. It was then I was reminded of that two-timer again.
