What is GREEN MILE ?

Question

What is green mile ?

Answer 1

上面位似乎沒有答到個問題。GREEN MILE 是 STEPHEN KING’S 小說，後來改編成電影，講一個黑人死囚。GREEN MILE 便是監獄中其中一條通去行刑室的走廊，只有這條是綠色，所以叫綠里，其他監獄通去行刑室的走廊都是叫最後一里。

"The Green Mile" is the corridor from the cells where the prisoners live to the execution room beyond Edgecombe's office. Similar corridors leading to execution rooms at other prisons are called the "last mile". The linoleum flooring of this corridor is green, hence "Green Mile".

This article is about the serial novel by Stephen King. For the film adaptation, see The Green Mile (film).
The Green Mile (1996) is a serial novel by Stephen King, later republished with all six volumes in a trade paperback.

More or less as a challenge, Stephen King published this story as a serial in six parts. Just as in Charles Dickens' time, the story was crafted while the book was already in production. In keeping with the serial concept, the first edition consists of six thin, low-priced paperbacks.

Since it first appeared, The Green Mile has been republished as a single volume. The first edition contains a section where the narrator speaks directly to the reader; the later edition contains an additional foreword. The novel was left otherwise untouched, though King did change one passage where a character in a straitjacket wipes his brow (a mistake that initially slipped past both him and his editor). The novel won the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel in 1996.

The novel was adapted by Frank Darabont for the screenplay of a feature film of the same name in 1999, directed by Darabont, starring Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecombe and Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey.
