The condemned prisoner was taken to the execution ground.

This movie is adapted from the true story of Sister Helen Prejean. She began corresponding with death row inmate Matthew Poncelet at his request, later visited him in prison, and gradually became his spiritual support, uncovering an unusual truth about Matthew's murder of a young couple. Facing the anger of the villagers and the grief of the victims' parents, Helen bravely asked for their forgiveness and mercy for Matthew's sins. Matthew, who had refused to repent until then, finally broke through his defenses and sincerely confessed before his execution, going towards his death with peace. Director Tim Robbins used profound yet fluid techniques to portray the mental state of a criminal's soul, as well as showcasing the noble character of clergy members. With Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn delivering brilliant and nuanced performances, this serious-themed movie radiates a touching power.
