This movie is long and more complicated than it seems capable of resolving, but I generally enjoyed it, including the contrast between Lawson and the more hostile world outside. The cameo voicework by various directors adds some humor. Also, I always prefer the more serious, less manic Jim Carrey, as in The Truman Show (which had a different relationship to the safe little world and the big scary world of course). Frank Darabont directed a couple years after The Green Mile, which was much less my kind of movie.
