If someone kills your daughter or your son, you must think of revenge, watching the murderer die, or even breaking the law to resolve him in advance. But when a life ends and a soul goes to heaven, can you really let go? Do you really feel happy watching someone's eyes slowly close in front of you?
Before watching this movie, I supported the death penalty. Killing pays for a life seems to be the law. But after watching this film, I have a kind of contradiction, and I begin to believe in God a little bit. Because in God’s eyes, everyone is his child, and death row prisoners are not scumbags. No matter how bad people are, they will have precious things in their hearts. But I began to doubt God again. Could it be that the person who killed my own daughter with my own hands, and the grandmother helped to cook up the granddaughter's corpse, those perverts who killed more than a dozen people in a row, are they really human? Are they really worthy of God's tolerance? I am really confused, maybe this is not something I should think about.
The last and most cruel scene of the film is the use of poisoned needles to execute prisoners. Perhaps the word cruel should not be used here, because it may be a pleasure for some people. When I looked at Sean Penn’s blue, desperate, help-seeking eyes, I couldn’t help crying and gave him a chance to survive. Just letting him survive, it didn’t seem to be difficult. Things. But as soon as I saw the scene of his murder on the other end of the movie, my tears stopped again. When I thought of the victim and the victim's family, I was ashamed of the tears I shed. The feeling at the time was really bad, I really didn't want him to die, but he didn't have any reason to live. When his eyes slowly closed, he died slowly, and the victim's family seemed calm. That is also true. There is just another person dead in this world, but their son will not be resurrected.
In fact, the biggest educational significance of the film, I think, is to cherish life. When you see a condemned prisoner who knows that the chance of survival is only one in a thousand, begging to the nun, "Help me", what reason do you have for not being alive? What a happy thing to be alive.
