dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyzes a movie script, The Green Mile. This movie script is
adapted from an American novel with the same title. The main discussion in this
thesis is about the main character’s supernatural power. The supernatural power
brings strong impacts to the characters in the movie script, The Green Mile.
There are three problems to discuss in this thesis. The first to discuss is the
kinds of supernatural power that John Coffey has. The second is how John Coffey’s
supernatural power influences other characters. The last is how John Coffey’s
supernatural power influences himself. The study is done through library research
that uses sources from books, journals, and websites to collect the data. Furthermore,
this thesis uses psychological approach because the basic analysis of this thesis is
about the mental condition of the main character and the people around him.
Psychological approach is also used to analyze the emotional influences of John
Coffey’s supernatural power to other characters and to himself.
The result of the study shows that John Coffey’s supernatural power is used to
heal, to resurrect, to influence, and to sense what other people feel; especially those in
the prison. Because of his supernatural power, people around him, especially the
people in The Green Mile, get influenced. The good influences make them better in
live. On the other hand, the bad influence is received by one person named Percy who
has bad behaviour. The other negative effect of the supernatural power is experienced
by John Coffey himself who surrenders his life because he is tired of his supernatural
power. | en_US |
