It feels like this movie is ironic, the professor who seems to be idealistic, loses interest in survival, and finally is realistically afraid of going to prison and goes further and further. The chemistry professor with whom he was ambiguous, studied the logic of science, but was an idealist. Abe asked him to go to Europe, and she divorced her husband without hesitation. Female students are contradictory bodies, not only idealistic teacher-student love, but also realistic with boyfriends. In terms of morality, the abe she longs for is contempt for morality, but she has a realistic view of morality. I have little contact with philosophy, mainly legal philosophy, about crime and human nature. Another is the rationalism mentioned in the basic assumptions of Xiu’s economics. The philosophical foundation is Bentham’s utilitarianism and utilitarianism. It is assumed that each individual has his own preference, and each person’s behavior is on the preference curve. Select the maximum utility above. Because everyone's preferences are different, from this perspective, there is no irrational person, but his rationality is irrational to other people. Just as abe is irrational in the eyes of outsiders to kill, for him, the relief and sense of existence he can get is greater than the possible legal punishment, so his choice is rational. This is called rational irrationality. This is different from the irrationality in behavioral economics, which is subconscious, such as the herd effect. This is well thought out. But ironically, everyone's preferences change, and the utility of the same thing varies at different times. Just as you can't predict the economic changes in a society, you can't predict a person's choices either. The female student wanted to report abe because of her sense of justice or guilt, but outsiders could not quantify the moral bottom line in her heart, and naturally they could not predict her behavior.
