As juice runs from his mouth, working its way down his body, and dropping lusciously to the floor through his penis, Miller's queer body and the orange tree become linked in a delicious visual metaphor.

But the real shocker is that The Green Mile, with its doomed pet mouse and weepy, tender-hearted cons, is less a bold exercise in terror than a queer exercise in pathos...
