Jingles is theorized to represent the story's prevalent theme of answering for one's behavior - whether that be good deeds or sins. He's thought to illustrate how humans are small, powerless, and insignificant when compared to the idea of a higher power in the grand scheme of things.
And this theory is another solid one. Like Mr. And, as with the Green Mile's miniature mascot, depending on the outcome of that helpless judgment, one can face a fate of destruction like how Percy kills him or one more in line with compassion and healing similar to how Coffey resurrects him.
Both the novel and film versions of The Green Mile are incredibly intricate, and a great deal of underlying meaning permeates the story's many layers. It's a testament to both works that a little mouse like Mr. Jingles has the ability to mean so much. She's had a passion for reading, writing, TV, and movies since her early years. Jingles Really Means - Theory Explained. He also has powers of light and good, the ability to heal others , using it on Paul Edgecomb to cure his bladder infection, and the cancer-infected wife of Warden Hal Moores, head of the death row prison.
Coffey's explanation of his powers is that he "took it back". The two young girls whom John Coffey was convicted of raping and murdering, though they were actually killed by William Wharton.
Since this kind of tragic, unfair derailing and taking of a life has been documented in great quantities over the years, the question naturally arises as to whether the film is based on a true story or not. Technically, the answer is "no. The movie leaves off with the year-old Paul, infected by unnatural life as a result of John Coffey's power deeming it his punishment for destroying a saintly miracle wondering aloud just how long he has left on Earth. A fake mouse was used when Paul picks up the dead Mr.
Jingles and also when John blows into his hand to revive the mouse. A real mouse was placed in the actor's hand for the shot when John places the revived mouse on the floor. When the mouse is shown lying on the floor dying, animatronic and CGI techniques were used.
To make John Coffey look big, his electric chair is smaller than the chair used in other scenes. By the time Paul introduced Elaine to Mr. Jingles, the mouse would have to be at least 64 years old--over nine times the age of the oldest actual mouse.
We meet Edgecomb in , the year, he says in a voice-over narration, of the worst urinary tract infection of his life, and the year that John Coffey Michael Clarke Duncan , moves to the Green Mile.
The movie's title refers to the stretch of green linoleum between the men's cells and the electric chair. It represents Jesus Christ for today's society in a world poisoned and imprisoned by perception, injustices, and a more deep-set malady—the darkness of the heart.
The most depressing Stephen King story ever told The Green Mile definitely falls in the latter category. Directed by Frank Darabont, this prison drama is one big heartache after another. Just a few minutes into the film, we've got an old man weeping, and the sobbing only get worse from there. The message to "The Green Mile" is clear and understandable: justice isn't always just and the miracles can happen in the most unexpected of places.
Not far from this place. While ago, I overheard Paul talkin' 'bout how I got here to begin with. Guess we were in some accident. Paul said I got infected. But I'd like to think there are no accidents. Things happen for a reason. Way God meant them to. Now, I don't remember much of my youth.
Just flashes mostly. Flashes of color and sound and light. Kinda like drivin' down a road and lookin' out the window. Everything whizzn' by in one big blur. Just flashes. Mostly green. Miles and miles a green. Like faded limes, or a meadow that goes on forever. Turned out, it was my backyard the hull time.
Father Time has a way of doin' that, ya' know? Slippin' by like clouds passing over a sunny day. Creeps at first, then he steamrolls. It's kinda like a person's past. Can't outrun it. Always catches up with you whether ya' wanna it to or not.
And all those years kinda' makes me tired just to think of. Tired and lonely. A friend a mine, John, he used to say, "loneliness is like a sparrow sittin' in the rain just waitin' for something important to come along. Ya' just get wet. Now I've seen a lotta hurt in my time. Lotta hurt. But I've seen my share of laughter and love as well. Believe or not, this old body used to work in a circus, a travelin' circus.
Physical tricks mostly. I'd roll or jump around or stare at the crowd and make faces. They'd smile and laugh and it made me feel good. Real good. Almost normal. It was then I realized something. I realized we're all family, people that is. Laughter and love can do that.
