Cruelty of the justice

Last Dance is very much a tragic film. Why are some people so spiteful and hateful? The murder committed in this film occurred 12 years ago. That time in prison is punishment enough, but the judge sentenced her to execution. Most people with the governor's office are complete bloodsuckers who only think of themselves. The priest in the movie even looked happy for this execution. You can tell that he isn't god's servant. He should protect the girl from execution, but he only smiles and leads her to death. The jailers that are serving time with her look very realistic. They understand that the woman doesn't deserve to die. God said he who forgives will be forgiven. He who does not forgive will not be forgiven. This film tells us that everyone should not do such things and that anyone can kill a man, but nobody can resurrect a man.
