We have the impression of an angel with a beautiful face and wings on its back.
But there was a real angel with dark skin and a dark figure like a black tower. He was misunderstood as the most heinous murderer of two girls. But he never defended, just muttered in front of people, blaming himself for not being able to save the girls with his superpowers.
Years later, Paul, a former prison guard, had lived to the age of 108 because of the superpowers John had given him. He watched as the loved ones around him left, not knowing whether it was happiness or unhappiness. The only one who accompanied him was the "circus" mouse. Since sending John away on the Green Passage, he has changed careers.
John was the miracle of his life, the green miracle of Cold Mountain Prison leading to a new life.
Two people have a huge disparity in status, but their hearts are connected.
For prison guards, in the last days of death row inmates, it is not an insult to them, let them maintain their last dignity and leave this world calmly.
The Green Passage is also a path to salvation.
A misunderstood "giant" with the ability to resist remains silent. He has childlike innocent and holy eyes, he relieves suffering for people, he is strong on the outside but afraid of darkness.
Paul, who treated prisoners with principle, did not insult them for no reason, and tried to teach Posey and the most heinous prisoners. Tolerance is principled. That's why John finally transmitted his superpowers to him.
Paul knew john wasn't the murderer. But he was powerless to save John, and that society was black and white. To give people innocence, it is not a simple thing.
As John's last days approached, Paul said to him:
I want you to escape, to see how far you can escape?
John says:
Why would you do such a stupid thing?
Paul says:
On your Day of Judgment, I was before God and He asked me why I had killed His true miracle, what should I say? - That's my job!?
You tell the Father that it is a good deed you have done, and I know that you are miserable and helpless. I felt it. But don't bother anymore. I wanted the end, I was tired.
Tired of being lonely on the road like a sparrow in the rain
Tired of not having a companion around
Tell me where to go or why
I am most tired of people's deception
Tired of the pain of feeling and hearing in the world
Day after day, it's too heavy! Do you understand?
Every day is like that.
This is true all over the world.
Seeing this, I believe you know as well as I do that angels are tired. He can feel the pain and helplessness of the world.
He couldn't handle it all sleekly. A man who sees through everything and is unwilling to compromise in the darkness is doomed to suffering.
He ended up watching a movie he liked and eating a big meal he loved. Left calmly. He despised the people who misunderstood him, though the eyes of hatred were like a sharp knife.
Just live well for me.
So it's not that Paul doesn't want to help, first, he has more than enough and is not enough, and then John is burdened with all the suffering in the world, and he is tired.
He died calmly, and Paul and his colleagues left their posts as prison guards forever... Perhaps they no longer want to suffer from this kind of mental torture, and those who save people from water and fire are punished with cruel criminal law but cannot do anything about it.
"Miracle in the Green", this movie has been seen for a long time. Although the film is very long, I don't feel bored. It's also one of my favorite movies, and it's important to include it in my movie diary. Although I have more than enough heart and insufficient strength, it is good to write what I want to write. The messy movies and characters that were moved, like I saw "The Shawshank Redemption" and "When Happiness Knocks", moved me, gave me strength, and good movies were like a beam of light forever shining in my dim and strange life.
I am Muzi. Thanks for reading!
