The Magic Touch

Has anyone ever seen the movie The Green Mile, staring Tom Hanks and Michael Duncan Clark? Lipsha's magic touch reminded me of John Coffey, Clark's character. They both have curing abilities, maybe The Green Mile used some elements from the book.

Yes Bo. Great movie and possibly the saddest movie I have ever seen

Well, Stephen King wrote The Green Mile awhile ago, so it may have been published before Love Medicine came out. Something tells me Green Mile was written before LM, so Erdrich may have borrowed elements from King's book. I could be wrong, though. And yeah, the Green Mile movie is one of my faves.
