In everyday society, we face various problems that force us to make a decision. Whether our decisions are good or bad. In the film "Dead Man Walking", directed by Tim Robbins, he illustrates the following actions throughout the film. Faith and doubt are a recurring theme throughout the film. Where we see Christians, in essence, questioning their faith. We also notice a contradiction between the Christian Bible and the Hebrew Bible or as most people know it as the Old and New Testaments. Conflicting themes have been debated about the Old and New Testaments over the centuries. Additionally, humility is a key aspect of the film. The director discreetly implies this at the end of the film so that we can make the connection with the main characters. In Tim Robbins' “Dead Man Walking,” he uses religious ideals to allow the viewer to recognize both sides of evil. The lesser of good and evil arises in the film. Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn) has been on death row for six years and his time has now come. It cost the lives of two young teenagers and the families want revenge. The families are for the death penalty and this is what they expected, for Matthieu Poncelet. In Dead Man Walking, there is a scene where nun Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon) is outside the prison with protesters and the camera angle focuses on the protesters' sign. It is said “an eye for an eye (Matthew 5:38-39), life for life.” The quote comes from the Old Testament, also known as the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament says, “If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other also” (Luke 6:29). The director tries to show us to what extent the Old Testament and the New Testament still contradict each other; they have a relationship that becomes... middle of paper ...... everything he leaves behind. He no longer thinks about himself, but worries about the families he has hurt and his own family he leaves behind. However, now that his time has come, he has found love and the true meaning of it. To conclude, the film is filled with hatred, evil, faith, doubt, love, etc. Watching the film, we see how the director involved transcendence, metaphors and striking images that attract the viewer. Helen had something to accomplish with Matthew, namely the need for redemption and the sacraments of the Christian Church. We notice the religious people and their actions throughout the film. This shows us how faith is different for each individual and how they view the Old and New Testaments. Surprisingly, many follow the Old Testament but have no thought with the New Testament..
