Directed by Tim Robbins, Dead Man Walking is an immaculate work, savoring human tragedy in its most evil faces and its kindest. Through conversations between glass and prison bars, Walking brings us inside the final days of Poncelet' s life, questioning beliefs, dealing with truths and discovering faith. , The emotion is terrifying, almost to the point of draining, but it grabs you. Robbins keeps a techpical simplicity, concentrating on the people and their language. Together, Sarandon and Penn share a vibrant static. Their relationship is one of mother-son, but a dark admiration exists, rarely shown, but always prevalent. Jazzed up like he should've been an extra in American Me and shouting "Ese," Sean Penn is sensational. Rowdy and charming, his only flaw is he's supposed to be a killer. A prisoner he is, though, and the mix of hatred and anxiety lures you into his soul. The creation of Dead Man Walking doesn't dwell into the controversial death penalty, the flavor of the Bible, or any theories of an eye for eye, it tests your morality.

A family romance, if you will, Sense focuses on the Dash wood's. Just kicked out of their mansion, they move to a cottage in the country. Marriage seems to be the only thing on anybody's mind in this pleasur able treasure, and for the two Dashwood sisters, (Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet) horse-hopping men are abundant. From Jane Austen's novel of the same, Emma Thompson's . Golden-Globed screenplay enchants as much as any pre-Sense classic .
