Dead Man Walking: The Shooting Script (A Newmarket Shooting Script Series Book)

Summary: A Compelling Look Inside the Creative Process
Review: The script of Tim Robbins' outstanding film includes footnotes that detail some of inner workings of filmmaking: why some scenes don't work, why some scenes are cut, etc. If you love the movie, certainly one of the best of the 1990's, check this one out, and seek out Sister Helen's original "Dead Man Walking" which inspired the movie.

Summary: well presented but too emotional
Review: Tim Robbins presents both points of view. On the one hand he makes us feel sorry for the victims and their families but on the other hand he makes us feel sorry for the murderer himself Matt Poncelet. There is too little action but too much religious stuff in the book. But still it is a very well written book since it makes people think about the death penalty and if there is any sense for
killing a murderer. The course of the story was very realistic so you can identify with the characters.
