Frank Darabont’s film features old Paul Edgecomb, a former head guard of a penitentiary in Louisiana in the 1930s. Eager to write his memoirs, he returns to the John Coffey affair. In June 1935, he was entrusted with John Coffey, this tall black man with absent eyes convicted of the rape and murder of two young girls. On the day of his arrival at Cold Mountain Penitentiary, the guards are surprised by the size of the colossus, but they are also impressed by his child’s heart and his rare kindness.
