The danger of single doubt

Kiley 2022-01-10 08:01:26

The ending of this film shows the truth of the plain crash which is totally different from the perspective of Claire, the psychotherapist. There was neither hidden facts protected by the airline company nor the survivors. All the scene in the past one and half hour is just illusion- an experience imagined by Claire herself.

Finally, I knew what really had happened to the flight via that 10 minutes' ending by myself. But a further question comes out:

Why I was misled by Claire? How people analyze the information presented to them and how they judge these information?

Yes, Clare looks young, charming and, most important, professional. As an PHD student in this field,she was assumed to be fine and right. And the airline staff's claim seemed everything but to be trust. Actually, all the above presentations are just the trick settled by the writer and director and I am totally deceived. Only the last 10 minutes which can let me out of that belief in Claire.

An enlightened person should think critically especially for this kind of enter a situation with single doubt-simply doubt on "the most likely bad one". The intuition is useful sometimes. But this is not enough. How to get rid of that intuition or illusion. One of American criminal law principle may be appliable here:

Proof beyond reasonable doubt

(which means "the proposition being presented by the government must be proven to the extent that there is no reasonable doubt in the mind of a reasonable person that the defendant is guilty.")

    The suspense movie turned into a love ghost story is really fucking, when the audience has never watched the "sixth sense"! ! !

    A suspenseful romantic movie with a horrible and warm ending. There are some minor problems in the rhythm, plot, performance, etc. It is a guide-who is who's guide?
