It's from The Green Mile. He's being executed for I can't remember what. I actually haven't seen the movie but I keep getting told that it's real good.
Yep, innocent man charged of the murder and rape of 2 white girls and a guard who knows he's innocent but ya know racism means he cant be given a fair trial/gets executed anyway
That's not entirely true- Paul (tom hanks- the main guard) basically said that they would work hard to get him out of jail.
John Coffee (the guy being executed) WANTED to die. He said he couldn't handle the pain of the world and how cruel humans are to each other. Can you imagine it? If you could feel every hateful word spoken, every bullet, every knifewound, every whispered goodbye as another person slips away...would you want to live?
Plus no one was given a properly fair trial due to lack of decent evidence and scientific investigations.
This film has pretty much nothing to do with racism.
Everything you said is right, illusion, but I want to point out that his name is John Coffey. Remember the part where he says "Like the drink, only spelled different." (:
