The acting skills of the two leading actors are so admirable, and the director's grasp is just right. This kind of film is the kind that makes people think a lot after watching it. The film reflects the racial problems in American society, the social status of the rich and the poor, and even the problems of life and death. The rich may escape the death penalty if they commit a crime. The poor may face the death penalty if they cannot afford a good lawyer. . Of course, it also reflected the question of whether American society supported the death penalty at that time.
Another issue I am concerned about is that the heroine Sister Helen, when she was very young, she voluntarily married God and served God for her life. Of course, she would not marry and have children to enjoy family happiness. I am an atheist, so naturally I can't understand the thoughts of these clergy. After watching the film, I felt for the first time that the power of religion is so powerful.
With the help of Sister Helen, Matthew found the dignity of humanity. Sister Helen said that you are a child of God. Matthew finally opened up his defenses. Before the execution of the death sentence, he confessed his crimes and was willing to serve the deceased and the deceased. Family members pray and hope that death can bring them relief. I think this may be the power of religion.
For me as an atheist, I want to say that I have a new understanding and ideas about religion. .
