Dead Man Walking

Dead Man Walking
A nun, while comforting a convicted killer on death row, empathizes with both the killer and his victim's families.

Starting off with an emotional Eddie Vedder performance in ‘95 💪🏼💪🏼
Tim Robbins directing a movie set in a prison is so odd. He just can’t get enough!
Ngl the “giving a ticket to a nun” scene was hilarious
That countdown was the most strangely sickening thing. Disgusting.
Incredible cast. SURPRISE JACK BLACK APPEARANCE! And Bobby from Scary Movie! lol did feel like Susan was overacting a little bit but please don’t tell her I said that.
Phenomenal direction too! The subtleties during the dialogue were 👌🏼
Good writing! I think this inspired my favorite, most devastating episode of Law & Order “Aftershock”. That episode make me bawl every time but it’s so good!!
The assertion that defending a person’s life is bad and therefore communist is quite telling! Good god how we brainwashed the West
Sad that the idea that maybe we don’t need capital punishment is still unfeasible for a large number of Americans! Should be required viewing for the hell-bent revengers advocating for death on behalf of a massacre-victim who is a teacher whose class I threw up in once in elementary school!
Also can attest from experience that having a family member in prison for an extended sentence is not easy either!
Watched bc Mulaney talked about Sean Penn’s performance on his show last week. Not disappointed!
