Just three months ago, the release of the "Seven Deadly Sins" set off a wave of heated discussions in North America, and the uncrowned kings stood on the cusp of the storm and became the target of the gun, and even made the news media's * and interests first the focus of attention in next year's election year, which has not completely dissipated, and the uncrowned kings are still cautious, lest their mistakes will attract public anger.

However, that hot frenzy has historical particularity, and one historical event after another accumulated, and finally was completely detonated in the body of Hugo, the first person in today's influence, which led to such a far-reaching impact, which can also be regarded as the inevitability of the wheel of history.

This time, after the release of "Death Row Walk", it once again caused a wave of heated discussions, but relatively speaking, it naturally cannot be compared with the "Seven Deadly Sins", because the focus of controversy of "Death Row Walk" is completely cliché. Whether it is the issue of the death penalty or the issue of social indifference, it has been discussed for a long time and countless times, but the question of the people raised by Nicholas is quite fresh.

As a broad group synonymous with a diverse and complex lineup, it is difficult to generalize, so it is difficult for them to be targeted. But this time, the particularity of the "Death Row Prisoner Walk" has made the public the focus of attention.

In fact, the Rodney King affair, the Michael Jackson affair, the Hugo affair, ...... Including the supremacy of the interests of the uncrowned kings, fanning the flames and other issues, the people have played a role that cannot be ignored. Because the feelings of the people are often the easiest to take advantage of. Of course, this time Nicholas is not discussing the problem of exploiting the public, but the people's uncontrollable attitude towards news events, which can easily become a stumbling block in the pursuit of the truth.

Behind this, it is not only required that the people can learn to look at things calmly, but also that the uncrowned kings and opinion leaders, who are the guides of public opinion, need to assume more social responsibilities. For example, in the report on Matthew in "Death Row Walk", the difference in the angle of media coverage of the same event can affect the direction of public opinion, if the media is more responsible to urge the police to find out the truth of the matter, if the media gives more support to Sister Helen, maybe Matthew will still be able to escape, but at least Carl will not go unpunished.

This is the difference.

But the problem is that it is very difficult to blame the people, not only because the public base is too broad, but everyone knows that it is because of the limited vision of the people, because of the differences in the education process of the people, that it is necessary to be bound by the law, guided by the media, and led by the government.

It was for this reason that the "New Yorker" wrote a press release entitled "Uncrowned Kings, Please Take Your Responsibility", which was very fierce and sharp, and adhered to the usual style of the "New Yorker", and once again condemned the news media.

In this article, the "New Yorker" said that the news media, knowing that they are shouldering the responsibility of guiding and supervising public opinion, are blinded by short-term interests, and even do not hesitate to fabricate news to create a breaking point, thereby inciting ordinary people and creating greater disasters, which is a shame for the whole society, and the American media must deeply reflect on it, otherwise this will be a precursor to social disintegration.

The New Yorker continues the controversy caused by the "Seven Deadly Sins" period and puts further pressure on the uncrowned kings. As one of the most acute, sensitive, and topical media in the United States, although the "New Yorker" is quite geographically discriminatory, and its attention is often limited to the greater New York area, which is not as good as that of the "New York Times", their views are often unique and thought-provoking.

It can be said that "Death Row Walk" has once again continued the hot topic of discussion during the release of "Seven Deadly Sins", and politicians who aspire to run for next year's election have also included the topic of news media in their preparations. However, relatively speaking, what really ignited the discussion in "Death Row Walk" was the core of the film - the attitude about the death penalty. This is a topic that cannot be bypassed for presidential candidates – even in 2014, the death penalty and the fall. Topics related to religion, such as fetals, are still mandatory for presidential candidates.

Almost every execution of a death row inmate is accompanied by protests by human rights and religious activists who oppose the death penalty, and the fact that the U.S. federal government and 33 states still retain the death penalty has kept the topic alive. This time, the focus of the "Walk on Death Row Prisoners" has become a stage for human rights and religious figures to perform.

In fact, in the original book of "Death Row Walk", the real-life nun Helen Pregin is a staunch opponent of the death penalty, and she is also doing her best to oppose the death penalty with all her life. Naturally, there is a religious element to this.

In the view of Catholics and human rights activists, the execution of the death penalty is an act of extreme violence, which is not only an act of forcibly stripping human beings of their right to freedom of life, but also that the dignity of human life cannot be denied at any time, which is also supporting the sanctity of human life. They criticized the death penalty system from multiple perspectives, including morality, social fairness, basic human rights, the probability of wrongful killing, and legal costs, and pointed out that the death penalty did not actually deter crime.

Interestingly, according to a 2014 poll, more than 60 percent of Americans support the death penalty, but historically, the peak of support for the death penalty was in 1966, when it reached 47 percent, slightly higher than the 42 percent in favor of the death penalty. But since then, the number of people in favor of the death penalty has been dominant.

At the end of last year, the topic of the death penalty once again became the focus of controversy, but the results of public opinion showed that 80% of people supported the death penalty, which is also the highest support rate for the death penalty in the history of the United States, which can clearly show the current attitude towards the death penalty in North America. Human rights and religious activists have been campaigning for the abolition of the death penalty, but with little success, and as of 2014, only 18 states in the United States had abolished the death penalty.

This time, after the advent of "Death Row Walk", although Tim Robbins did his best to maintain his neutral position, due to the influence of the original book, especially from the perspective of Sister Helen, the overall trend was inevitably slightly tilted in the direction of "abolition of the death penalty".

In particular, Matthew's sentence before he died, "No matter who it is, it is wrong to kill someone, whether it is me, you, or the government's ......" has caused countless discussions. This sentence is also generally believed to be Tim's true thoughts, and it is only expressed through the mouth of Matthew.

Therefore, with the release of "Death Row Walk", various religious groups and many human rights activists have stood up and expressed strong support for the film, because next year is the election year, the topic of "abolition of the death penalty" once again occupies the focus of public opinion, and religious groups in major cities in the United States have held rallies or marches, saying that the death penalty should be abolished: not only to avoid a tragedy like Matthew, but even if Matthew is killed, Walt and Hope will not be able to resurrect, not to mention that Lucille has also lost his son.

Soon after, even the United Nations human rights bodies came forward to express their support for the "death row walk", hoping that the US federal government would promote the abolition of the death penalty. It's rare for a topic to be on the world stage – even though Hollywood has a strong global presence.

In less than two weeks, 37 large-scale rallies took place in 15 cities in the United States to call on the US government to abolish the death penalty. The largest was undoubtedly the 3,000-member petition team gathered in front of the White House in Washington on New Year's Eve, so that Bill Clinton had to hurriedly and formally come forward to appease the religious team at the scene, which avoided a chaos on New Year's Eve.

However, supporters of the death penalty have a long history in the United States, especially since 80 percent of the public expressed support for the death penalty last year, and such a strong and stubborn force is almost unshakable. In the face of the actions of human rights and religious figures, they also expressed their views in the major media, and for a time the media once again became the main battlefield.

As many as 27 television programs, more than 100 radio programs, and 41 newspapers have all discussed the topic of the death penalty, and in just two weeks, the topic of "death penalty" has appeared thousands of times and has become the hottest focus of recent times -- this has nothing to do with the "death row walk", which has been the focus of people's debate in the first place.

This time, however, those who oppose the death penalty seem to have finally found sustenance, and they have begun to organize a large number of their supporters to enter movie theaters in major cities to watch the "Death Row Walk", and even go so far as to organize public welfare activities and hold charity activities to call on the audience to watch the "Death Row Walk". This is a situation that the movie definitely did not expect before its release, and it is jaw-dropping.

Similarly, proponents of the death penalty are not far behind, and they are also heading into cinemas, hoping to watch the "Death Row Walk" in search of evidence to refute religious figures and support the death penalty – because don't critics say it's a work from a neutral perspective?

A literary and artistic work, an independent literary and artistic work released in an art theater, has become a craze on the cusp of the storm, which is really something that no one expected-even if everyone has experienced similar events before this, should it be said that Hugo's appeal is strong? Or is the right time, the right place and the right people on Hugo's side?

But it is undeniable that the discussion around the "Death Row Walk" in the past few months has contributed a lot, and Hugo's brilliant performance in the film has been an important driving force, successfully realizing Tim's original intention of filming this film, bringing the death penalty controversy back to everyone, and at the same time bringing the complexity of the issue to a new height.

Compared with the human rights and religious figures in full swing, after the release of "Death Row Walk", thanks to the strong attention, film critics also expressed their attention to the film for the first time.
