Superstar

Sitting in the cinema, Joshua was a little embarrassed, because he was too excited and emotionally anxious. On the one hand, he was looking forward to Hugo's performance, but on the other hand, he was worried that the theme of "Death Row" would be too depressing and difficult. Win everyone's love. However, there was not much time left for him to worry. In a blink of an eye, the lights around the auditorium dimmed, and Joshua knew that the movie was about to officially start.

The beginning of "Death Convict's Walk" slowly kicked off with the sound of gloomy and dark music. The movie reveals a gloomy confusion in a trivial, chaotic, and confused picture, and the interlacing of flashbacks and reality clips makes people Full of doubts. This is the beginning of a typical art film, revealing a sense of depth and literary art, which is directly opposite to the simplicity of commercial films.

This made Joshua unable to help but adjust his sitting posture, frowning and carefully looking at the big screen, thinking about the content of the movie. Tim Robbins's slightly disturbed and slightly shaking lens slowly opened the story scroll, and then Joshua realized that these fragmented scenes are all depicting the nun Helen Poe played by Susan Sarandon. Lei Jin's vague image, he can vaguely guess that this is a young nun who has converted to religious beliefs, and at the same time she has a kind heart and a firm belief.

At the request of the death row prisoner Matthew Poncelet, Helen began to correspond with him, and later decided to visit him in person. This is Helen’s first visit to prison in prison. Before meeting Matthew, the priest of the prison warned Helen because Matthew was a vicious murderer. He and his companions brutally killed a couple. Still strong. Raped that girl.

Joshua, like the priest, could not understand why the nun Helen came to visit Matthew. The priest worried that Helen's sensibility and softheartedness as a woman would become a breakthrough for Matthew, and he was asked to clean him up, but in fact, the priest did not think that Matthew was wronged.

Joshua had to admit that he was a little disappointed. Could this movie be the same old-fashioned plot: everyone believed that Matthew was the murderer, but with Helen’s help, Matthew’s grievances were washed away, and finally Can justice be done? There was also a trivial noise in the ear. Although the sound was not loud, it was obvious that many audiences thought so. The high expectations of "Death Row" became a stumbling block at this time. Many people Quite critical of movies.

But the movie continued. Joshua could clearly feel Helen's tension. The fierce and fierce male hormones in the prison were like a beast's mouth, ready to swallow Helen at any time. But when Helen saw Matthew, Helen was quite surprised, and Joshua was the same, because Matthew was not as fierce and cold-blooded as he imagined.

Looking at Hugo on the big screen, Joshua couldn't help but laugh. At this moment Hugo was combing an exaggerated punk head. The blond hair gleamed in the dark light of the prison, and the beard made Hugo more tough and vicissitudes. Hugo lifted slightly. Chin, he looked at Helen with a condescending gaze, just a meeting, Hugo revealed the aggressiveness of his body.

Sure enough, his words were full of picky and irony. He saw Helen's jerky and nervousness. He revealed his aversion to blacks. He was full of resentment towards his ex-wife. He believed that death row prisoners were poor, but at the same time Protecting himself carefully, his slightly trembling hands revealed the tension and fragility in his heart when he lit the cigarette, and it can be seen that he is in a state of full defense at any time.

This is Matthew Poncelet.

Although it looks funny, Joshua involuntarily wants to applaud Hugo. There are not many special highlights, but the image of Matthew is instantly clear in Hugo’s delicate performance. stand up. Even Susan, who has always been excellent in acting, looks "green" in front of Hugo.

Compared to the storyline, the acting skills of the two leading actors made Joshua amazed, but Hugo had also contributed to such a performance many times before, and Joshua still did not feel that the previous news incidents made Hugo mad. The key to this also made Joshua even more curious about the follow-up performance.

However, the plot of the movie still doesn't seem to jump out of the cliché circle. As Joshua expected, Matthew believed that the real criminal was Karl Vitello, not him, that the couple were killed by Karl, and he was just a bystander. But now Karl is only in prison for life, and Matthew has been sentenced to death. Therefore, Matthew wants to appeal, he has prepared the materials, and he only needs Helen to help him submit it. It seems that acting skills are the essence of this movie compared to the storyline. Joshua inevitably has some regrets. After all, every work before Hugo is a masterpiece, whether it is the script or the characters. So, is Hugo's instinct to pick the film in "Death Row" is still wrong?

Helen accepted Matthew's request and launched an investigation after returning, but she found that all the information showed that Matthew was guilty. Not only was the evidence conclusive, but Matthew was facing the police. During investigations and court trials, their attitudes were very bad, and Matthew and Carl accused each other of lying and shirk the responsibility on each other. As a result, Matthew was more suspicious, Carl had better lawyers, and the jury conducted a sentence based on the principle of reasonable doubt.

Helen couldn't help being suspicious, she was afraid that the priest's worries would come true: Matthew was the real prisoner, and she was just being used by Matthew.

However, the date of Matthew’s execution has been fixed. As the governor’s campaign is underway, politicians have determined the execution time of a death sentence in order to reiterate their political positions. Matthew will be executed in seven days. This gave Helen no more time to think. Although Helen was not sure whether this was correct, she was not even sure whether she liked Matthew, but she decided to lend a hand, so she found the lawyer Hilton.

Due to time constraints, Hilton suggested that Matthew should use family affection to impress the amnesty to prove that he is a man and not a beast, first postpone the execution time, and then appeal to the Supreme Court to try to prove Matthew's innocence. This also requires Matthew's mother to testify in court, hoping to impress the amnesty, but Matthew is very repulsive and resolutely opposed.

On Easter, Helen personally found Poncelet's house and met Matthew's mother Lucille. Since Matthew was sentenced to death as a murderer, life for the Poncelet family is also very difficult now. Not only are neighbors repelling Lucille, but Matthew’s three younger brothers are also suffering from school days. See In this scene, Helen also felt sad.

Joshua could not help but sighed. Regardless of whether Matthew was innocent or not, even though Matthew was really a murderer, his family was innocent. It is natural for people to sympathize with the family of the deceased from a moral standpoint; It is also unbearable to condemn the innocent family members of the murderer from a moral standpoint, including children.

Therefore, when Helen returned home for Easter, her family all accused Helen of incorrect behavior, "Have you taken into account the feelings of the family of the deceased? Are there many other people in your community who need your help? If you want to help, you won’t be on death row. The time and energy you spend on this kind of person is enough to help many problematic youths..."

Although this has once again deepened Joshua’s guess-no one believes in Matthew, except for Helen, in the end only relying on Helen to wash Matthew's innocence, this kind of routine has been seen once in "Yihai Xiongfeng" , This makes Joshua quite disappointed; but I have to admit that Joshua found that the plot in the story is worth thinking about.

The United States always screams for human rights and equality for all. Does that mean that death row inmates no longer have equal rights? Everyone seems to think that it is better to help others than to help death row prisoners. Since when did the helpers begin to distinguish objects? Even if it is true, we should not help those who are extremely vicious, should not help the gangsters, but what about the innocent family members of death row prisoners? But as a nun, how about giving spiritual support to death row prisoners? Could it be that death row prisoners have even been deprived of their freedom of belief?

Joshua was unable to sort out his thoughts for a while, because the words of Helen's family seemed to be correct. The time to help a death row prisoner might be able to save many teenagers on the verge of crime and prevent more crimes.

The story of "Death Convict's Walk" seems to be more profound than imagined.

Helen persuaded Matthew to agree to allow her mother to testify in court, but as Matthew expected, Lucille completely broke down in the court, sobbing in tears, she could not even speak the basic words, and had to leave early. Lucille held tightly the photos of Matthew in his infancy that could not be shown to everyone in her hands, and cried out on Helen's shoulders. As a mother, she still couldn't give up Matthew.

The amnesty can only leave Hilton alone trying to turn the tide~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Matthew was sentenced to death because he did not have enough money to hire more lawyers, which is unfair to him... Now, we have invented one of the most humane methods, injecting poisonous needles. We **** the death row, first gave him an anesthesia needle, and then a needle that ruptured his lungs. The third needle stopped his heart, like killing an old horse. His face looked like he was asleep, but his internal organs were torn apart. His facial muscles would have been twisted, but the anesthesia needle made him look peaceful, so we don’t need to see the horrible thing. The sight, we don't have to stain our hands with blood, nor can we see how the internal organs of the condemned prisoners shrink, twist, and fester. We just sat aside and nodded and said: Justice can be done. "

Joshua fell silent in this way. The death penalty, a topic that has always been full of controversy, appeared in front of everyone again today, and it was pinned on a special case like Matthew. Is he innocent at all? But leaving Matthew aside, Joshua finally understood that the story of "Death Row" is not that simple.

It’s not just Joshua. At this time, the entire movie theater became silent. Everyone originally came for Hugo’s wonderful performance. During the first half an hour of the movie, Hugo did show off his superb performance. People admire it, but it didn't reach the expected height. Relatively speaking, it was a slightly boring and clichéd plot, but it brought an unparalleled impact.
