      Forgiveness does not mean that the other person is not responsible

      A lot of people's comments are off the mark: At the heart of Christianity is confession of sin and a willingness to commit one's sin to God. Helen does not support the release of death row prisoners. She cares more about whether this soul recognizes its own sin. This is what God values ​​most. She is very serious about this issue. Jesus did not give up prostitutes, tax collectors, or even the death row prisoners who went to the cross with him. What Jesus wanted was their repentance. Everyone...

      Feelings (including spoilers) of "Death Row on the Road": On the scale, should fairness be tilted?

      Text/Zhu Luanjing's first private public account: Yishui Pavilion

      The movie "Death Row" has a score of 8. It was broadcast in December 1995. It has a history of more than 20 years. Why did it suddenly turn out and watch it?

      Because this is a film recommended for law students to watch, I followed the film list given by the institution to watch it one by one.

      The film's point of view is not the victim, but the perpetrator who has committed a serious crime, and tells a true...

      Do humans have the right to deprive others of their lives?

      It may be because I just finished watching "Hacksaw Ridge", so I thought of this film inexplicably, "Dead Man Walk". The attributes of the film have nothing to do with each other, the only thing in common is death, "Hacksaw Ridge" Shura battlefield, corpses everywhere, "Dead Rambler" brutal bloody case, life for life, the former life was harvested, and died in a hurry, numbing, The latter is desperate for vitality, unable to return to the sky, which makes people feel cold.

      The concept...

      Death row inmates go to death step by step, without suspense—suspense is the lifesaver of boilerplate movies. Life and death, religion, ethics, politics, the maxima and minima of human nature, all are spread out by the acting skills of the two, and the perspective is relatively neutral, a very good...

      2 hours of confessions. The content of too many religious elements makes it difficult for Chinese film viewers to understand and feel the same. Compared with the impact of never compromise and the life of David Gore, it can only be said that it is not my favorite...

      It would be strange to say that there is no Pope's power behind this movie, at least I have a little bit of interest in God in my heart after watching the movie. Someone recommended it to me as Sean Penn's best performance, but I think it should be sam. Looking back at Mystic River, this man is too powerful. I think the film's discussion of the law also has a certain significance for the current phenomenon of gangsters interfering with the law in...

      A film that opposes the death penalty, but the director is by no means a simple preaching of the Virgin Mary. The point of entry is to fully understand the existence of the death penalty. The well-dressed and clean white world in the film shows more vividly than the plot and performance that Western society can only be supported by several generations of development. To develop a concept of compassion for all people and to pardon a murderer's capital crime will consume a lot of human and...

    Movie plot

    Death row prisoner Matthew Ponchet ( Sean Justin Penn ) tried to escape the death penalty by exploiting the "Bible" in despair. He wrote to the orphanage asking for kind listening. Sister Helen Prekin ( played by Susan Sarandon ) sympathizes with the despair in his words, visits Matthew and becomes his psychological counselor. Helen made every effort to help him find a lawyer, apply for a hearing, appeal and polygraph, while Matthew...

    The film reflects the racial issues in American society, the social status of the poor and the rich, and even major themes of life and death. Matthew's lifestyle makes him always look at and resist everything around him with a prejudice, and resist the trial of the law. With the deeper contact with Sister Helen, he finally discovered the true meaning of happiness, goodness and love in misfortune, evil and indifference. It takes great...

    Movie quotes

    • State trooper: I never gave a ticket to a nun before. I gave a ticket to a guy from the IRS one time. Got audited the next year. Tell you what, sister, I'm gonna let this one slide. Just keep your speed down, you hear?

    • Sister Helen Prejean: Look at you. Death is looking down your neck, and you're playing your little male come-on games.

    • Matthew Poncelet: It's quiet. Only three days left. Plenty of time to read my Bible and look for a loophole.
