Customer Reviews

Another Thomas Newman journey to music satisfaction!
Following the beautiful music of Shawshank, this is another example of Thomas Newman`s talent. I find that I am always eagarly awaiting his next soundtrack. I had no sooner left the movie theatre after watching (The Green Mile) that my wife looked at me and said, you`re going to get the cd aren`t you. The way Newman blends each piece of music together just speaks volumes about his musical ability. Buy it people. Don`t miss the opportunity.

Coffey wouldn't "try to take this one back."
This is a superb score. Don't let the cd samples fool you too much. Most of these songs contain various parts to them and a simple thirty second listening experience will not suffice!

I found myself driving through the prarie land of Illinois on a freezing winter's night, listening to this cd and feeling like I was in a dream. I'm being completely honest with you. It was amazing.

Tracks likes Foolishment, Night Journey, and Danger of Hell are hauntingly mesmerizing. Track #32, Coffey on the Mile, is one of Newman's greatest accomplishments ever. Track #37, the song played during the credits, will leave you in a thick state of deep contemplation. You will love this one.

All in all, this is one of Newman's greatest scores, and arguably the best of all time for Mr. Newman. You will love it.

Not Shawshank? Not A Problem!
I read some of the other comments posted here and immediately think that THE GREEN MILE, both the movie and the score, seems to demand an unwarranted comparison to THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. They are not the same movie, so by rights they should not be the same score. Still, with so many of SHAWSHANK'S crew (including Thomas Newman) returning for this one, I suppose comparison is inevitable... so for what it's worth, GREEN MILE's score IS considerably more restrained than SHAWSHANK. But all the same, it is fantastic. Contemplative and somber, emotional and eerie. If SHAWSHANK was all about hope, GREEN MILE is its dark cousin, sadder and much more tragic. I could understand, if one has not seen the movie, this CD coming off as underwhelming. But after seeing it, the CD is a perfect souvenir, encapsulating all of the quirks and bumps and revelations that made this movie so darned good in the first place.
