There is a line that runs through the Spider-Man movies, "With great power comes great responsibility". There are more or less such manifestations in this film. The ability of "reapers" is to guide the souls of the dead to heaven, and their responsibility is to let the dead rest in peace. Rube, George's former boss, said the reapers would be punished if they didn't do their jobs as prescribed. After the new boss Cameron took office, his indifference and indifference to this kind of task made George's comrades feel that whatever regulations they said before were bluffing. So, one by one, they began to violate their responsibilities and began to use their abilities to seek various self-interests: Playboy Mason used the opportunity to appear at the robbery scene to get dirty money; actress Daisy used her ability to get a chance to perform on stage; policewoman Roxie forced her reapers to live to establish herself as a hero. However, sometimes breaking the rules results in not only punishing yourself, but also others. Mason ended up with no money and money, Daisy was humiliated on stage, and Roxie still didn't keep her position. When I saw that one of George's reapers was someone my sister liked when she was alive, I thought the plot would go to the end, and the sister gave up her principles for her sister and let Hudson live. But George didn't, which surprised me and made me admire her.
When the companions began to wake up and went to Cameron's theory, Cameron said something: Throwing a small stone in the sea, stirring up a little wave, can eventually cause a tsunami that swept through Indonesia and killed several people. Thousands. Or a drunken gig, a stupid liquor store robbery, a selfish hero show, a late harvest that can lead to a genocide in Sudan... There may be some exaggeration in it to satirize the gang, but It was not easy for this man to say such things.
Everyone in society is a pebble, and everyone has their own code of conduct and ethics. A deviance in one's own orbit may have been the pebble that stirred up the waves and caused the tsunami. The greater the power, the greater the impact. When you have greater ability and power, you must realize that the responsibilities placed on yourself also increase.
In the film, listening carefully to George's self-report is also very touching. In this increasingly frenzied society, perhaps this sentence really has to be adhered to.
