    Hi Bard,

    The strobe lights are used in the 2nd last scene when poor John Coffey(Like the drink but only spelt different)is put to the chair....so everythin is in slow motion and sad music plays over head and it also shows that the guards did NOT WANT TO PUT THIS MAN ON THAT DAMN CHAIR!!!!!
