和“肖申克的救赎”一样，“绿里奇迹”（The Green Mile）也是一部震撼人心的好电影。当汤姆.汉克斯主演的Paul(死刑执行官)迫于无奈对其实是无辜的死刑犯 Coffey 行刑前的对话.

Paul Edgecomb: 在我的审判日，当我站在上帝面前，他问我为什么要杀死他真正的奇迹，我该如何回答？那是我的工作？我的工作？

John Coffey: 你告诉天父，那是你的善举。我知道你在难过、担心。我能感觉到，但你不要再这样了。因为我想了结。我确实这样想。我厌倦了，老板。我厌倦了在路上，像雨中 的燕子一样孤单。我厌倦了没人做伴，厌倦了没有人告诉我，我们从哪里来？我们要去哪里？为什么？我最厌倦的是，人们对待彼此的丑恶。我厌倦了自己的痛苦和 我听到的世界上每天发生的痛苦。太多了。就像我脑子里总是充满碎玻璃片。你明白吗？

Paul Edgecomb: 是，约翰，我想我能明白。

Paul Edgecomb: On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That is was my job? My job?

John Coffey: You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?

Paul Edgecomb: Yes, John. I think I can.
