Hypocritical hero and free prisoner, which one would you choose?

From now on, I feel the real freedom. When this sentence is uttered from a prisoner, many people may find it contradictory, but after watching this movie, I discovered that freedom or freedom is not determined by the wall in the prison. Human freedom should be divided into two types. One is personal freedom. If you violate some of the moral rules of the society you live in, your personal freedom will be restrained, and you will also be different because of the severity of your mistakes. The degree of punishment. The other is the inner freedom of people. This kind of freedom cannot be restrained by a rule or standard. The only thing that can be restrained may be only one's own heart, the most fundamental conscience in one's heart. The punishment of personal freedom only restricts a person's freedom of movement, and there is a time limit. After you pass the punishment period of that time, you can get personal freedom again. But if a person violates his conscience, the most common example is lying. The spiritual punishment that this violation of conscience brings may be eternal. And this sense of guilt will bring a series of side effects, such as using alcohol or drugs to numb yourself, so that you can get temporary inner relief from these items.

I think the protagonist in the film was just a conscientious alcoholic at first, and because of his credit, he saved the lives of most of the passengers on the plane. It was also reflected in having the stewardess say a few words to the black box to her son in times of crisis. His humanity. When the accident happened and various departments started investigating the accident, the senior executives of these companies considered their own interests and money, and used lies one after another to cover up things that would cost them a lot of money. And the cheap things like truth and telling the truth may only happen to organizations such as mutual aid associations. Back to the person involved in this accident, Mr. Captain. As long as he follows the company's words, he can become a hero. In fact, in any case, he has saved so many people, and the fact that he is a hero cannot be concealed. And if he tells the truth, he will face jail. All things considered, lying is a good choice. The pain is that the hero in the film is a conscientious drunkard. He is afraid of going to jail, so he has to lie constantly, but his conscience can't make it through, so he uses alcohol to numb himself. It seems that he is escaping the pain of reality, but he is actually evading his inner conscience. Is he choosing to wear a hypocritical mask to make the world think that he is a perfect hero, or to admit his true self and tell people that he is actually an alcoholic. In the end, the end of the film gave the audience a positive answer. Although he went to prison, he gained inner freedom. The last two sentences of father and son at the end are so intriguing.

Captain’s son: Who are you?
Captain: That's a good question.
