I just finished watching the movie "Dead Man Walking" and was so disappointed!!

I'm a 100% against the death penalty, but still, it was hard for me to feel for Sean Penn's character. Everyone told me I'd cry so much and I didn't shed a tear.

What are your opinions on the movie?

I liked the movie, but I also didn't have much sympathy for penn's character. He's exactly the type of person pro-death penalty advocates point to--he kills just for the fun of it or to impress a friend, not because he needs money to feed his family, etc. I don't know many people who would become anti-death penalty after seeing the movie.

Matthew Poncelet is a fictional character. The movie is based on the two death row inmates that Sister Helen Prejean was spiritual advisor to on death row. The two death row inmates that Sister Helen Prejean saw on death row in Louisiana at Angola were Robert Willie and Patrick Sonnier. I would say that Matthew Poncelet is made up of 90% Willie and 10% Sonnier.
