Review of Dead Man Walking (1995) by Magnus S — 14 May 2018
One of the greatest filmed examples of unconditional love ever. Robbins explores the effect our social standing & class position can have on our future, our behavior, & our decisions. It empathizes with Penn but never lets him off the hook, even at the very end.
He is forgiven, but responsible. He is punished, yet freed. Sarandon is as masterful as ever, & Penn's ultimate confession to her is full of striking truth & palpable liberty. So with all that in mind.
..did an atheist make the greatest Christian movie ever?
