The Green Mile's use of 15 mice for Mr. Jingles adds to the film's entertainment and supernatural elements. Setting The Green Mile in Louisiana was a rare non-Maine choice for Stephen King, adding discomfort and racial tension. Despite historical inaccuracies, The Green Mile's visual choices and costume details enhanced character development and storytelling.
