first time i saw it there ware just as many guys crying on their girls shoulders as there were girls, never seen anything like that before, nor since.. most intense movie ever
Extraordinary acting .. Sean Penn is extraordinary actor .. this scene gets me every every time 🤦🏻♀️ and we never are allowed to forget what he did as his henious crime … he repents genuinely this man is Hollywoods gift of an actor
In reality, Elmo Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie, both inmates on whom Sean Penn's character Matthew Poncelet is based on, were executed by the electric chair in Louisiana in 1984; by 1993, Louisiana switched that penalty to lethal injection as the most humane way to execute. Both Tim Robbins and Helen Prejean opted to use lethal injection in the film instead of the electric chair because, according to Prejean's interview, "We don't want to give people the moral (of the most humane death) out whereby people could say 'Oh well, we used to do electrocution but that's too barbaric so now we are humane and inject them'."
Great acting, great directing, great writing. It's a pity that Robbins lost his nerve at the end and introduced slow motion, sappy music and even a crucifix symbol. Breaks the serious tone.
I agree with eye for an eye but not our current methods. It takes at least a decade for this to be carried out even when they drop all appeals. It often leaves the victims' families with even more guilt and turmoil. Usually the worst men don't even get the death penalty.
Ironically, the character of Matthew Poncelet is blessed by the prison minister played by Scott Wilson. The first major film role for Scott Wilson was in 1967’s In Cold Blood, where he portrayed real Kansas killer Richard Hickock who was hanged at the end of that film for the murders of the Clutter family.
A prison officer saying "Dead man walking" I know it means that an execution is about to take place but my dad says that an officer saying "Dead man walking" is considered disrespectful because he believes that saying "Dead man walking" is insulting to the prisoner who is going to die. If I was a prison officer I would just keep quiet or just say "Time to go"
The phrase "dead man walking" is regularly used at the Florida State Prison in Starke whenever a condemned man is moved along the central corridor. All inmates understand this statement to mean they have to stand aside with their backs to the wall until the guards and condemned inmate pass them.
We should let the family of the victims decide whether it's life or the death sentence. Violence begets violence but some perpetrators of crimes deserve it.
I cant help to say over and over again this. We all are as innocent and as sinners as all of us. We are lost children in the lords herbgarden. We all make miatakes and try over. We all got the little devil inside us.
The cold fact here is, that Matthew wanted a human beeing near himself, that feel honesty feelings and got emotions towards him. Good emotions. Like emphaty, symphaty, understanding, friendly touch, all those emotions we give to oneanother when we feel honest and genioune love. Not love for his money or bankaccount, or his beautiful house, but emotions for him, the human beeing. Nobody get an evil person without a reason. The devil set his houxes and temptings everywhere. He is Lucifer. In Jesus Christ.
my words come easy, but it come in wrong order and i got easy misunderstod, i dont be a psychiatrist, so i can say whats wrong. those psychiatrists i have talk with try to find a way to blame me, cause im too dumb. i think its like i have been fabricated to this what i am, of less understanding people, to be a harm for the society and the whole system. i am easy to blame.
when sean like so only i hear teold me, what name would be more fit for me, he say gwyneth, i got a little better self confidence, i feel more secure. like my real name are marja, but gwyneth sounds better as my name. i am afraid that sean think im play devil, thats not the right reason. i have only one reason to chat with him, and it is that i like to becme his friend, his best friend. he maybe dont need another older lady near him, that this world have pushed and kicked around, but i have imagination. i weep sometimes when i know its only imagination that we are friends. and by the other wise, my husband are good and smart and we are happy. i have needed a smart man as a friend, and one thing, im not born yesterday.
These obvious things i text on this chat, are things that we all forgot in some situations, when it would be good to remember. Like, nobody are a sinner or do wrong, and nobody are innocent either. We all live in this gods forgotten planet thats cursed. If you think life treat you wrong, its good to remind, that everybody got that wrong side affects in life. If somebody are very happy all his life, he sure like sometimes to look how it is on the dark side of life. You say in a arrogant way, it is enough to see a few pictures and you know enough. Then you can ask why you got to be the one that are choised to see this dirty, poverty land in live. This country are many peoples home. We are as human beeing as you on the sunny part of this earth. Is it own choises to got born here. We are many kind and many reasons to got born here. Some are want to see how his grand parents lived. Or just sudden happens make it. Faith, is a few that belive is the reason. More its bad luck and bad faith. This land was only swamp, before a lot of men and women came here, and started farming, hunting, fishing, collecting, and the first farms and grain fields came. Cattle, and houses, that was the whole familys home from baby to grandparents, and cattle. big houses with only one big room, and a cooking place in the middle, where the fire was always on. Winters were cold, but the hunters hunted wolfs, fox, bear, and they got warm clothes. You talk about wrong. You dont know anything but that small knowledge that i write.
A few words that he hadnt think do any harm. He say those words. What efect did the sad event that he got killed. It was spintanity, and a little moment of unconcentration. He had his thinking in other subjects. Thats called unrational. Like a one that dont know what happen in the near. What are we pay this payment for. To got the helping hand that was amputed from us in the earlier defency attac.
I saw the film and I think it was intended to show the people how disgusting death penalty is as also the american system.....Sister Helen is an activist....and has done a very good job...going to shools and so on.... telling this experiences.. I feel sad because this film was not enough in order to put an end to DEATH PENALTY...
The American system? If you would educate yourself about how the rest of the world works & used a little logic & reasoning, you wouldn't be so ungrateful.
Jesus said of man, even Sinners, when he raises Lazarus, that you can do even more than this. So she is not walking with just a man, not just a murderer, she is walking with our Lord. And remember that the next time you're judgmental of somebody who's done something horrible. Because if you don't treat even the thief or whoever as our Lord, God told you in that parable, I was hungry and you fed me, I was in prison and you visited me, and you enter into the kingdom of heaven. But I was hungry and you fed me not and I was in prison and you visited me not, depart from me into Eternal fire. Which is the only place in the Bible where Eternal fire is mentioned for the people who don't understand Humanity. Don't understand the actual sacrifice of Jesus on the cross
Can anybody name just one thing that is impossible for human to do or make possible. I know one. To reborn. But i was wrong. Another is to reborn in some other spieces. Wrong again. To resist passion and temptings. Thats it.
If Matthews dad seen himself like some betrer than anybody, he should do better thañ anybody, he sound luke he joyn the evil that happend to Matthew, likw the song say it the true, we all need some symphaty,
How are materialism got as stabil and accepted fact. Its most emphaty. And the common greedy and envy. When we recordnize its only human to got greedy. Envy is like we know the feeling that if it isnt controlled are do the worst harm for the envy like for the object. Everybody cant be millionare. If you look good, are smart and attractive you have more chance to got a billionare man. That is human light and easy thinking. We live in a stressing and comperering world. We want easy solutions for the most difficult subjects. He was pushed in a corner and had only his own life to survive for. He did what any else would do.
Why dont acueriments and knowledge reach all people. There is different surrender in The northern than in south. Its easy to say. Over popularion and less population. Dry so nothing grows, or too cold. The best places for Human to live Are over populated. The worst places is for those WHO Are disableted. No able to learn. To use others. Or very selfish. What IS The best answer.
I took a gorgeous girl to watch this movie, strangely I can’t remember following the story as I was planning my next move or carrying it out lol, incidentally I saw her with her kids and she did not age well lol
Me mighty, amazing me.... And you miserable, poor, dirty you. Im not narssisstic or arrogant, you are. What do she eat. Find out. There is a Wise word, we all Are just Human beeings. What Make The difference. The Choises. Natural, forced and own Choises. Its funny to laugh at others faults and mistakes, and by that got The talent to laugh at yourself. But not in a evil way. Why not. My dream was to Be a doctor. IT was a impossible thoughts. Because im sadistic. I can keep those games on My imagines. But can all others. With some pushing, and way leading, and forcing we can proof that she cant keep IT only in imaginasions. Im weak
If Sr. Prejean really said these things to Matthew, then she was lying to him. Admitting to a habit-less nun that you committed these crimes does not give you redemption, reconciliation, or forgiveness from God. Saying you're sorry to God and crying about it does not remit your sins.
But if she wore a habit it would be o.k.? What is it with you people, is all that lead in your drinking water really that bad? Well, go on playing with them snakes to prove you'll be redeemed ...

I literally cried on this scene. It seems like it's not acting anymore. Great performances both.
Agreed. The entire movie is pretty good.
I agree. They both are good actors♥️
The thing is it’s based off a real story
I’m already crying…😢
I just did hours ago, and Im a grown man.Watched this several times already over the years.Amazing acting!
What a GREAT performance... both of them... Incredible...
Susan Sarandon really gives The most human performance of the century, so much emotion in her eyes
This scene is one of the biggest tearjerkers in movie history. Period.
first time i saw it there ware just as many guys crying on their girls shoulders as there were girls, never seen anything like that before, nor since.. most intense movie ever
This is such a hidden gem of a movie that’s not talked about enough. An extraordinary, emotionally complex film
The best acting ive ever seen in my life.
They both won a prize for it.
Extraordinary acting .. Sean Penn is extraordinary actor .. this scene gets me every every time 🤦🏻♀️ and we never are allowed to forget what he did as his henious crime … he repents genuinely this man is Hollywoods gift of an actor
I still cry when I watch this part, a very good movie from beginning to the end

0:07 "when I'll be done with all of this, no more bars no more cells, no more life in a cage!"
*But then i also think sometimes ?What´s the point keeping a man alive ...if he´s not worthy of being loved anymore..~*
In that year there were 2 qualified candidates for the Oscar as best actor, Penn and Cage
It’s 2024 and I still cry watching this scene. I’ll be the face of love for you ❤
I love in films where a character's demise is apparent and they ask another character, "Are you okay?" Humanity.
True story.
chills
Great acting, great directing, great writing.
It's a pity that Robbins lost his nerve at the end and introduced slow motion, sappy music and even a crucifix symbol. Breaks the serious tone.
In the director commentary, he states that the crucifix symbol is done in real life, that there was no kind allusion there.
Woooooo this movie was powerful
When he ask her if she was alright
@2:27....couldn't help crying
I agree with eye for an eye but not our current methods. It takes at least a decade for this to be carried out even when they drop all appeals. It often leaves the victims' families with even more guilt and turmoil. Usually the worst men don't even get the death penalty.
Truly a face of love😣

Susan's eyes is the main reason for her oscar 💯💥
A prison officer saying "Dead man walking" I know it means that an execution is about to take place but my dad says that an officer saying "Dead man walking" is considered disrespectful because he believes that saying "Dead man walking" is insulting to the prisoner who is going to die. If I was a prison officer I would just keep quiet or just say "Time to go"
Thats just Hollywood. Execution teams are expected to make the condemned mans/woman's "last walk" as dignified and respectful as possible
They’re going to the death chamber for a reason and that reason makes them undeserving of respect even in they’re final moments.
The phrase "dead man walking" is regularly used at the Florida State Prison in Starke whenever a condemned man is moved along the central corridor. All inmates understand this statement to mean they have to stand aside with their backs to the wall until the guards and condemned inmate pass them.

We should let the family of the victims decide whether it's life or the death sentence. Violence begets violence but some perpetrators of crimes deserve it.
If you say so.
Susan Sarandon 's eyes deserved a separate Oscar.
It's too good.
I read the book. I didn't know there was a movie.
I love the background song. Does anybody know what is its name?
Sounds a bit like Symphony of Sorrow by Goreki.
Sacred Love - Georgij Sviridov
3 Choruses: No. 2, Sacred love - Georgy Sviridov
Man never seen this movie but looks pretty good
Face of love:(((((
Music?
I cant help to say over and over again this. We all are as innocent and as sinners as all of us. We are lost children in the lords herbgarden. We all make miatakes and try over. We all got the little devil inside us.
1:17
If the Deep South were a person it’d be that prison guard
We used the term "condemned man" walking if we cross an area with general population inmates as a warning i.e. this guy has nothing to lose move
évery time I watch this... I die, a Little_
Il est mort et s'il est mort ?où il est comme ça pourquoi comment elle a été comme ça ?

I agreed right up until the end of the statement.
Then we're all destined for hell
