Dead Man Walking

This film made me feel different emotions throughout the entire length. It first began with the sister Helen and Matthew first meeting and already he had a bad impression on me. After learning about what he was guilty for I then agreed that prison is the right place for him to be for the rest of his life at most. But he is in fact on death row (p.s. I am completely against the death penalty). As time passes between the two interacting, I started to feel that maybe Matthew is completely guily. I mean that in a sense that he isn't guilty for the murders or rape, just for being an accomplice. I started hoping that somehow, he would be found innocent of the accused crime and be removed from death row. I felt really emotional when Helen began singing to Matthew because it was already too late for him. But then the most shocking scene for me was him admitting to killing the boy and raping the girl...I was just shattered knowing that he infact did commit a murder and rape the poor girl..he sure had me fooled....... Just thought that this aspect of the movie was very powerful for me.
(Still doesn't change the fact that I was against the death penalty on him)
(It's as if the government stoops down to his level and commits a murder themselves)
