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.
