Hævnen is Danish, in English means revenge
There is a saying about revenge: a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye; At the same time, when will the grievances be reported? Wait...
Hey, what is the correct answer?
Anton is Elias' father and works as a volunteer doctor in Africa. Hearing MSF, one immediately thinks that this character is great, righteous, kind. However, the other side of the same person has a bad relationship with his wife and is separated, spends less time with his son (although he has a close relationship with his son), and many other people give the impression of being weak: in the play, he mediates his son to fight with others , his father (Lars) came and slapped him twice without fighting back. In order to show that he was not hurt by being hit twice, he took three children to Lars' garage and asked Lars to hit him a few more times.
Anton's stance is against revenge:
"If you hit him, then he will hit you. It will never end.
Don't you understand? That's how wars start."
But most of the time he can only watch violence and revenge The appearance of , just like he cured the African bully, but reluctantly let the patient abuse the bully.
After Christine lost her mother, she and her father came to a small rural town in Denmark and met Elias at school. Elias, like his father, was bullied and never fought back. After befriending Chris, Chris wants to take his revenge, including Lars who bullied Anton.
“If I hadn't fought back, then everyone would think I was weak.
… Not if you hit hard enough the first time.
… It's like that in every school. Now no one dares touch me." Where does
hatred come from? Chris is young but has a lot of grievances. Maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe it's an unpleasant person, and the grievances get bigger and bigger. It 's not easy.
Utilitarianism may be able to parse a part (revenge is a lose-lose Situation), but it seems to be a bit lacking.
The answer to the movie is: It will hurt innocent people... It does
n't seem to be convincing...
You will choose forgiveness or revenge
(btw, do not do to others what you do not want to do to others, it is selfish, and it is still from a utilitarian point of view. )
