Sean Penn touched by God

Him, along with certain actors are touched by God. Meryl Streep, Kathy Bates, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Katherine Hepburn, Bogart, Anthony Hopkins, Day-Lewis, Denzel, Nicholson, Caine, the list goes on.

My husband and I tend to watch actors that we love and then watch all of their movies. Sean Penn has an amazing body of work. We don't care if an actor truly transforms themselves to play a role (but that's impressive) as much as we care about how authentic a performance is. For example, Michael Caine is pretty much always similar and yet he's compelling in every performance he's ever given. But Sean Penn gives a performance here that is next level. Touched by God is the only way to describe it.

walking into cinematic history

What's really good about "Dead Man Walking" is that it shows Matthew Poncelet's (Sean Penn) side of the story, but it never portrays him as a hero. We understand that, and Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon) understands that. Sarandon definitely deserved her Best Actress Oscar for this movie (I can't believe that it took her so long to win one). Never preachy, the movie shows all sides of the story in looking at Poncelet's approaching execution. Among other things, this movie should dispel the notion that they don't make movies like they used to - although this one is over ten years old. A true classic in every sense of the word.

"Tell me something sister, what is a nun doing in a place like this?"

I can't help but admit that my personal feelings about the principals for this film, including director Tim Robbins, in a way influence my thoughts about the picture. However I will concede that throughout the movie, there was an even handed approach to balancing both sides of the capital punishment issue. For added poignancy, the parents of the victims of Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn) are given their due, and Sister Prejean's (Susan Sarandon) efforts to understand both their feelings and those of Poncelet himself are to be commended. Both Penn and Sarandon offer competent portrayals of their characters, with Penn particularly effective. Though I'm no fan of either, I can still recognize that their efforts were noteworthy here. There wasn't much doubt in my mind that Poncelet was not wrongly convicted, and the closing moments of the story brought that home in frightening detail. What's interesting to me is that almost two decades after this film came out, Sean Penn appeared in 2003's "Mystic River", in which he portrays a father seeking vengeance for a daughter who is murdered , and in so doing, winds up killing his childhood best friend. That best friend in the story was portrayed by Tim Robbins.
