This ending is actually
a hint given by the film that can be guessed. There are still many
great people in the whole film. I think it is Constance Haraway.
She is the one who really cares about this cause, including her own in the end. People who can give everything in life
for their ideals are always respectable

and David Gore has shown from the beginning that this career is just a hobby
and then he made more sacrifices. I think it was for his son
in order not to let
I don't think there's anything wrong with the son carrying his already disreputable reputation , it's just that it

's realistic to think he can't afford a great movie about rape.
Even if he ends up innocent, his reputation is ruined when he's charged.

PS: I'm in favor of the death penalty, maybe because I'm in this country

The Life of David Gale quotes

  • Constance Harraway: Stop that!

    David Gale: What?

    Constance Harraway: Active listening, I hate active listeners. I always feel like they're to busy *pretending* to be listening to hear what I'm saying.

    David Gale: I can listen and actively listen at the same time. I'm good at that.

  • David Gale: Fantasies have to be unrealistic because the moment, the second that you get what you seek, you don't, you can't want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent. It's not the "it" that you want, it's the fantasy of "it." So, desire supports crazy fantasies. This is what Pascal means when he says that we are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness. Or why we say the hunt is sweeter than the kill. Or be careful what you wish for. Not because you'll get it, but because you're doomed not to want it once you do. So the lesson of Lacan is, living by your wants will never make you happy. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals and not to measure your life by what you've attained in terms of your desires but those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, even self-sacrifice. Because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives is by valuing the lives of others.
