Joshua was a little nervous when sitting in the cinema. He was too excited and became anxious. On the one hand, he was looking forward to Hugo's performance and killing everyone, but on the other hand, he was worried that the theme of "Death Prison Walking" would be too depressing and it would be difficult to 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 screening hall dimmed. Joshua knew that the movie was about to officially start the screening.

The opening of "Death Prisoner Walk" slowly kicks off with the sound of the music full of gloomy darkness. The film reveals a kind of gray confusion in a trivial, chaotic, and confused scene. The interweaving of flashbacks and realistic clips makes people full of doubts. This is the opening of a typical art film, revealing a sense of depth and literature, which is directly opposite to the simplicity of commercial films.

This made Joshua adjust his sitting position, frowned slightly and stare at the big screen seriously, thinking about the content of the movie. Tim Robbins's slightly uneasy and slightly shaking shots slowly pulled the story scroll away, and then Joshua realized that these fragmented shots were outlined in the blurred image of the nun Helen Prekin, played by Susan Sarandon. He could vaguely guess that this was a young nun who converted to religious beliefs, and at the same time she was kind-hearted and firm in her faith.

At the request of the death row inmate Matthew Pontsley, Helen began to communicate with him, and later decided to visit him in person. This was Helen's first time in prison to visit the prisoner. Before meeting Matthew, the priest in the prison warned Helen because Matthew was a vicious murderer. He and his companions brutally killed a couple and raped the girl.

Like the priest, Joshua could not understand why the nun Helen came to visit Matthew. The priest was worried that Helen's sensibility and soft heart as a woman would become a breakthrough for Matthew and let Helen cleanse him of his crimes, but in fact, the priest did not think that Matthew was wronged.

Joshua has to admit that he was a little disappointed. Could it be that this movie is the old-fashioned plot: everyone believed that Matthew was the murderer, but with Helen's help, he washed away Matthew's grievances and finally achieved justice? There was also a meticulous noise in his ears. Although the sound was not loud, it was obvious that many viewers believed so. The high expectations for "death prisoner walk" became a stumbling block at this time, and many people complained about the movie.

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

Looking at Hugo on the big screen, Yoshuya couldn't help laughing. At this time, Hugo was combed with an exaggerated punk head, and the golden hair shone in the light of the prison. The beard made Hugo a little tougher and vicissitudes. Hugo raised his chin slightly and looked at Helen with his condescending gaze. Just a moment of meeting, Hugo revealed the attack on his body.

Sure enough, his words were full of pickiness and sarcasm. He saw Helen's awkwardness and nervousness. He revealed his disgust for black people. He was full of resentment towards his ex-wife. He believed that the death row prisoners were poor, but at the same time he protected himself carefully. His slightly trembling hands when lighting a cigarette leaked the tension and fragility in his heart. It can be seen that he was always in full defense.

This is Matthew Pontsley.

Although it looks a bit funny, Joshua involuntarily wanted to applaud Hugo, without much special highlights, but Matthew's image suddenly became clear in his mind during Hugo's delicate performance. Even Susan, who has always been very good at acting, seemed "green" in front of Hugo.

Compared to the plot, the acting skills of the two starring actors amazed Joshua. However, Hugo had made such a performance many times before, and Joshua still did not feel the key to Hugo's collapse and crazy in the previous news events, which also made Joshua even more curious about the subsequent performance.

However, the plot of the movie still seems to have not broken out of the cliché circle. As Joshua expected, Matthew believed that the real criminal was Carl Vettelo, not him. The couple was killed by Carl, and he was just a bystander. But now Carl is only imprisoned for life, but Matthew was sentenced to death. So, if Matthew wants to appeal, he has prepared the materials and only needs Helen to help him submit it. It seems that compared to the plot, acting skills are the essence of this movie. Joshua is inevitably somewhat regretful. After all, every work of Hugo before is a masterpiece, both in the script and the role. Is it wrong to choose Hugo's intuition to choose the movie in the script "Death-in-law Walk"?

Helen accepted Matthew's request and launched an investigation after going back, but she found that all the information showed that Matthew was guilty. Not only was the evidence conclusive, but Matthew's attitude was very bad when facing the police investigation and court trial. Matthew and Carl accused each other of lying and shifted the blame to each other. As a result, Matthew was even more suspicious. Carl had a better lawyer, and the jury sentenced him based on the principle of reasonable doubts.

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

However, the day for Matthew to execute the death penalty was determined. Since the governor's campaign was in progress, politicians determined that in order to reiterate their political stance, Matthew will be executed seven days later, which gave Helen no more time to think about it. Although Helen was not sure whether this was correct, and she was not even sure whether she liked Matthew, she decided to lend a helping hand, so she found her lawyer Hilton.

Due to the tight time, Hilton suggested that Matthew should use family affection to impress the amnesty office, prove that he is a person rather than a wild beast, first postpone the execution time, and then appeal to the Supreme Court to prove Matthew's innocence. This also required Matthew's mother to testify in court, hoping to impress the amnesty office, but Matthew was very repulsive and firmly opposed it.

During Easter, Helen personally found the Pontsley family and met Matthew's mother Lucill. Because Matthew was sentenced to death as a murderer, the life of the Pontsley family is very difficult now. Not only are the neighbors rejecting Lucill, but Matthew's three younger brothers also suffered a lot in school. Seeing this scene, Helen felt sad.

Joshua couldn't help but sigh, putting aside whether Matthew was innocent or not, even if Matthew was really the murderer, his family was innocent. It is natural for people to stand on a moral standpoint to sympathize with the families of the deceased; but it is also unbearable to condemn the innocent families of the murderer, including children, from a moral standpoint.

So, when Helen went home for Easter, her family accused Helen of her behavior incorrectly, "Did you consider the feelings of the family of the deceased? Aren't there many other people in your community who need your help? Even if you want to help, it's not the turn of death row prisoners. The time and spirit you spent on such people is enough to help many problematic young people..."

Although this once again deepened Joshua's speculation, everyone did not believe Matthew. Except for Helen, they could only rely on Helen to clean up Matthew's innocence. This routine has been seen once in the "High Spirit of the Sea", which disappointed Joshua; but it has to be admitted that Joshua found that the plot in the story has a part worth pondering.

The United States always shouts about human rights and everyone is equal. Does death row prisoners mean that they no longer have equal rights? Everyone seems to think that instead of helping death row prisoners, it is better to help others. From when did the helping people begin to distinguish between objects? Even so, it is not necessary to help those extremely vicious people, and they should not help the evil, but what about the innocent families of death row prisoners? But as nuns, support for the spiritual belief of death row prisoners? Are death row prisoners even deprived of their freedom of faith?

Joshua couldn't figure out his mind for a moment, because Helen's family's words seemed to be correct. Helping a prisoner in death may save many teenagers on the verge of crime and eliminate more crimes.

The story of "Death Prisoner Walking" seems to be more profound than imagined.

Helen convinced Matthew to agree to let his mother testify in court, but as Matthew expected, Lucille completely collapsed in court, sobbing in a daze, and could not even speak basic words, so she could only leave early. Lucille held her baby photos of Matthew that could not be shown to everyone, and cried loudly on Helen's shoulder. As a mother, she still couldn't give up Matthew.

The amnesty office could only leave Hilton alone to try to turn the tide. "Matthew was sentenced to death because he didn't have enough money to hire more lawyers, which was unfair to him... Now, we have invented the most humane method, injecting poisonous needles. We tied the death row prisoner, first anesthesia needle, and then anesthesia needles to rupture the lungs. The third needle paused his heart, like killing an old horse. His face looked like he was asleep, but his internal organs were torn. His face muscles would have twisted into a ball, but the anesthesia needles made him look peaceful, so we don't have to see the terrible scene. We don't have to dye our hands full of blood, nor can we see how the internal organs of the death row prisoner atrophy, twisted, and festered. We just sat peacefully and nodded and said: Justice was able to be done."

Joshua was silent like this. The death penalty, a topic that has always been full of controversy, appeared in front of everyone again today, and it was placed on a special case like Matthew. Is he innocent? But not to mention Matthew, Joshua finally understood that the story of "The Death Prisoner Walking" is not that simple.
