最后的绞刑师的剧情介绍,阿尔伯特·皮埃尔珀恩特(蒂莫西·斯波 Timothy Spall饰),英国最著名的绞刑师。他冷静、不苟言笑,又极其讲究自身的职业道德,堪称“世界上最有效率和最人性的第一绞刑师”。这个职业需要身份的秘密、绝对的冷静以及精准的计算。职业性的果断和迅速,为他创造了7秒半完成行刑的纪录。然而这个本该是秘密的身份,却因为执行对纳粹的死刑,使得皮埃尔珀恩特成了公众人物。 <br /> 皮埃尔珀恩特从不把他的职业与生活混淆,也很少考虑这个行当的残酷性。直到1950年的一天,他亲手为他的朋友詹姆斯·考比特(埃迪·马森 Eddie Marsan饰)“送行”,导致精神几乎崩溃。这成为了皮埃尔珀恩特职业生涯的转折点,他于1955年写信辞去了绞刑师的工作,结束了这段处死608名死囚长达22年的生死行当。
Albert Pierrepoint delivered groceries - and was a hangman. Following in his father's footsteps he quickly became known for his efficiency and compassion, rising to become 'the best in the land'. From early 1933, until the end of his career in 1955, he executed 608 people, including the 'Beasts of Belsen' (war criminals), for which he earned the gratitude of a nation. But by the time he hanged Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in Britain, public sentiments had changed... and so had Pierrepoint.
