Leaning Mirror Over Fireplace

begin to move towards the end, if we remove the books that I have already spoken.

The Green Mile (The Green Mile, 1996)
still a little experiment although it is not at all a new thing.
King proposes a serial thriller this time, or simply a
serial novel. The same King explains that the narrative "serial"
was typical of a certain popular narrative of the past. The most famous is
Dickens. Not that he wants to confront these
great writers simply want to try to find a formula
editorial "new" than at the time. The publication in volumes
can, in a sense, and there will be
of followers like John Saul's Blackstone Mysteries with. But the thrust
not end soon, perhaps because it is not King Saul . Soon after,
however, reach the serial novels, full-bodied and large format
as Ramses, Cortes, Napoleon, Magus (Nostradamus), etc..
The beauty of the novel is certainly related to its particular
editorial formula. Each volume has its beginning and end, with appropriate
twists, and the small size of each episode
mean that the story is read in one gulp. The effect was greater at the time of publication
, since after reading an episode
to wait two weeks to read the following (instead
today's edition is usually available in a single volume, with
all six episodes). But The Green Mile is not only that, I think that we
is an outstanding complaint against the death penalty
. It 's a drama and poetry where the magic
helps to stand out in some important respects, our reality
all day, I refer this to the situation where the hospice
is the narrator, Paul Edgecombe.
Edgecombe, Eduard Delacroix, William Wharton, but especially
John Coffey, and why not, Mr. Jingles, are characters who remain
printed indelibly in the memory. Thank you, Stephen King .
The Green Mile is a film by Frank Darabont, starring Tom Hanks,
very nice ... but not up to the book, in my opinion.
lasts three hours, so in some promising way, with regard to "fidelity"
the novel, but the story structure is altered,
losing a bit of bite, and then there's some sort of attempt to move
viewers, emphasizing certain aspects of "emotional", while
things in the book are narrated with style
drier but more effective. This is, however, as I said, a good movie.
