"We can't treat life with the principle of investment and return in secular economics." If the economics here is just a simple mathematical calculation of a few lives for a few lives, I completely agree, however, that is not the real economy Learning, this issue will be discussed later, let’s talk about “secular” economics first.
There is no doubt that this film shows the beauty and ugliness of human nature. When we think about six living lives to save three lives that are likely not to be saved, rational people may think it is not cost-effective. If I were Peter in the film, I would be there, no doubt. There is no need to think about it at all. The person who is about to die is my close relative, and I will definitely go. Even if I know that it may not be possible to save my life, I would rather die with her. As long as there is hope, one should not give up. It is impossible to know that she is in crisis and not save people. It's not a simple matter of 6 lives for 3 lives, it's my relatives. peter is touching, but what is even more shocking is that the other 5 people, and skip, are willing to save the three people who are not so close to them, knowing how dangerous it is. If I were them, I don't know if I would do it or not, maybe at that moment. Feeling sad for tommy, like tommy, but still dead. For this rescue, brothers, that Indian, that old man all died, 4 lives for 2 lives, nothing is worth it, those are their choices, they are great. No more comments from the bad guy.
Next, let's talk about the so-called economics. I thought that simply discussing the issue of money is accounting, not economics. That is to say, simply discussing whether it is worthwhile to exchange several lives for several lives is an accounting issue, not an economic issue. Economics includes the utility of people. For Peter and the other five people, saving those three people must be more beneficial than cost for them. These benefits and costs are not simply a matter of several lives. It contains their values, outlook on life, and it is worthwhile for them. Of course, for vaughn, obviously, it wasn't worth it.
There are many moving places in the film, but the ones that are more impressive. When Peter learned the news that Annie was still alive from the walkie-talkie, it was really moving. When one of the brothers knew that the other person died, "bro, i'm sorry, i gotta go." What kind of mood was that. There are a lot more.
This movie is good and worth watching.
