"Death row (crossing the death line)" revolves around a death row prisoner who has been sentenced to death but has been suspended and asks a nun for help in order to change the fate of being executed. The death row prisoner Ma Xianhua walked on the death line as the title said. The help of the nun Helen gave him a glimmer of hope, who was nailed to death on the death line. However, the appeals were invalidated again and again, and the hope was shattered again and again. In the end, the death line was not crossed. The film opens without explaining the truth to the audience-is Matthew really innocent? Did he kill anyone? Is the death sentence really a wrong sentence? We don't understand the truth, and the balance in our hearts keeps tilting on both sides with the plot. When seeing Matthew repeatedly reiterating his innocence and the flashback of the murder scene that seemed to confirm this point, I still sympathized with Matthew. Whether it was a misjudgment or not, it was a life; but seeing When Sister Helen visited the families of the victims, she saw and felt the heartbreak and grief of the loss of their loved ones. I hated the murderers. No matter whether Matthew murdered or not, he was there and was also an accomplice. Whatever you say is yours. Can't wait to kill and then quickly. It was not until the end of the film that Matthew confessed his crime. The truth of the matter was that he killed Walter and raped Hall, but it was more cruel that he didn't have an accomplice Victor who stabbed 17 times after he raped him. Seeing this, I was as shocked as Helen—Matthew has been deceiving himself and he is not innocent; at the same time, I also hate—after all, Matthew did do brutal and inhuman things, killing two young people for no reason, and giving them to two families. It brought such deep grief; but I also felt a little bit of sympathy-Matthew showed guilt and regret after confessing the crime. When he saw his family for the last time before his execution, he was a son and a family member. The eldest brother, his love for his mother and younger brother and his jokes also showed a human side; and the last call he made to the family, while comforting the mother on the microphone side not to cry, don’t cry. Still unable to cry. My heart is very sad. Executing Matthew may bring some comfort to the victim's family and allow them to get the justice that has been waiting for six full years, but it is also a kind of harm to the Matthew family. The death penalty still has its meaning in a world that is not so humane and civilized. One life pays one life is indeed the consciousness left to us by culture for a long time, and it cannot be changed in a short time. Therefore, the death penalty still exists-it is only used with caution or completely in some countries as civilization continues to develop and pay more attention to human rights. Repealed. In the film, we can see this progress. As it says, the death penalty burns people alive, beheaded for public display, and various horrific tortures, to the peaceful execution of drug injections, it can be said to be more and more humane. Alleviate the suffering of executed prisoners. However, it is worth noting that regardless of the multi-humane method of execution, it is essentially the deprivation and termination of life. The death penalty is not completely abolished, and humane execution seems to be a formalized approach by humanitarians. The death penalty should exist-at least for now we can't completely and completely abolish it, but it should be used with caution. I think this is actually a necessary process from the appearance to the end of the death penalty. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the river of history is not flowing When human civilization develops to a certain level, the death penalty will be truly abolished because it no longer meets the needs of society. This is worthy of hope, but by then, it will no longer be a lifetime, right? Ha ha.
