PAGE 1 《死囚168小时》之法律与信仰的对抗 摘 要 法律是法的形式的统称，其地位仅次于宪法。它是由国家立法机关制定，由国家政权保证执行，公民必须遵守的行为规则。法律规定人民群众在社会生活中可进行的事务和不可进行的事务。信仰，亦指对某种思想或宗教及对某人某物的信奉敬仰。信仰是个人的意识行为，是心灵的主观产物。在现实生活中，每个人都有属于自己的信仰，同样，每个人的主观意念与想法都有所不同,这时便会产生心灵上的矛盾冲突,从而做出一些违背法律道德的事。 影片《死囚漫步》是对修女海伦的故事进行了真实的改编，讲述了她对即将面临死刑的马修进行了彻底的心灵忏悔，使他能够从心灵深处意识到自己的错误，最终平静的走向死亡。在他人看来，修女海伦不仅没有对受害者表示同情，而是去耐心倾听一个罪人的说辞，这并不符合常人的思维。或许正是海伦的理解与倾听,使得马修体会到了生前从未有过的幸福与善良，在他有限的时间里，体会到了内心深处的忏悔与自责。 Ⅰ.Introduction Dead Man Walking is a feature film directed by Tim Robbins.
