I went into the movie opposed to the death penalty and came out of it the same way.

I would definitely recommend this film to other people.

What really struck me about the movie is that Herzog did not choose a case where there was a lot of debate about whether the person was guilty, and he didn't shy away from the fact that he committed a horrible crime. It wasn't about feeling bad for this person or feeling that he was treated unfairly so much as about feeling whether anyone at all deserves the death penalty.

I think the moment that got to me the most was the father talking about how he ended up handcuffed together with his son. Despite what I said above about it not being about sympathy it did give me sympathy for the father, who was someone I did not expect to feel sympathy for.

That was a really night touch! Most of these stories you hear about the death penalty are with people who are saying they are innocent. So it is more about "Should this potentially innocent person be put to death?" But this was definitely framed more towards, "Should anyone be put to death?" Great observation! I didn't think of that at all.
