Film or Movie?

There has always been a debate with movies on whether they have deeper meanings, or they are simply entertainment. I believe The Green Mile is a film because there is very important messages/ themes in the movie. Racism and descrimination play a big role in this film, as John Coffey is thrown in prison and eventually executed for a crime he did not commit. Because of his skin color, he was accused of brutal crimes that he did not do. Another theme is don't judge a book by its cover. Tom Hanks finds that the new inmate is nothing like his intimidating stature, rather a very pleasant individual. Taking these messages into account, The Green Mile should definitely be considered a film.

Hello, My name is Zach Macke and I love to watch movies. I mainly watch them for enjoyment, but after being in Film is Lit for 2 days, I've realized that there's much more to movies than simply entertainment. I will most likely still watch my favortie movies for purely entertainment, but I will always be looking for underlying themes and other messages in the movie. My favorite movies would be the Dark Knight Rises, the Avengers, and any Will Ferrell movie! I'm looking forward to seeing more films that i have not seen!
