    The film is concise and powerful. It provides two positions at the same time, so that the author's point of view will not be very prominent and very clear. But it is not without resorting to expression, criminal psychology, Virgin's redemptive love, death penalty, are complex and worth exploring The problems are also very controversial, and some parts of them are not well understood by individuals. These factors are calmly and without traces running through them, making the author himself more...

    Even death row prisoners need dignity. Like Sarandon, like Sean Penn. Murder is definitely not right, but there is a reason to go back and see a lot of people like this. So whose problem is it? No one is willing to commit crimes. I think those inmates on death row are quite pitiful, but going back and thinking about those who were killed is even more sympathetic, so what should we do?...

    It is much better than the strongly subjective "The Life of David Gore". The film does not specify whether the death penalty should be executed or not, but calmly and objectively shows the prisoners and their surroundings from the perspective of a nun before the execution. The complex psychological changes of people. Reveals the complexity of the death penalty issue. Obviously, there is no one right or wrong answer about the death...

    I thought it was a plot-oriented film, but I didn't expect it to be psychological. The female lead and male lead are really good. The plot is a little thin, and the kind of concern and despair are well portrayed. Oh, it's still a little too delicate for me, meow, I still cried at the end, um, watching this film made me start to think about whether the death penalty is right or wrong, and it made me start to think from the perspective of a death row prisoner, this is this film of greatness and...

    The scenes of the conversation between the two are very interesting, and I have to watch it twice every time, once for Pan and once for Shuang Deng. It feels explosive, from both the perpetrator and the victim....

    Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn's masterful performances prop up this almost theological lecture. The whole film is constantly asking questions, but not answering them. Is the death penalty too cruel? Does euthanasia really count as mercy? Listening to the death row inmates stating their grievances, I was almost moved. In fact, this is nothing more than a true story. There are heinous crimes in this world, but everyone can repent and get corresponding redemption. I don't think this story makes...

Dead Man Walking quotes

  • Hilton Barber: [at Matthew Poncelet's appeals hearing] The death penalty. It's nothin' new; it's been with us for centuries. We've buried people alive; lopped off their heads with an axe; burned them alive at a public square... gruesome spectacles. In this century, we kept searchin' for more and more *humane* ways... of killin' people that we didn't like. We've shot 'em with firing squads; suffocated 'em, in the gas chamber. But now... Now we have developed a device that is the most humane of all. Lethal injection. We strap the guy up. We anesthetize him with shot number one; then we give him shot number two, and that implodes his lungs, and shot number three stops... his heart. We put 'em to death just like an old horse. His face just, goes to sleep, while, inside, his organs are going through armageddon. The muscles of his face would twist, and contort, and pull, but you see, shot number one relaxes all those muscles so we don't have to see any horror show... We don't have to taste the blood of revenge on our lips, while this, human being's organs writhe, and twist, and contort... We just sit there, quietly. Nod our heads, and say: 'Justice has been done.'
