These pressures come from the democratic social system, from social moral constraints and personal bottom lines. When the audience is immersed in such a choice, it is inevitable that they will hesitate. For moral considerations, the lives of a few people and millions of people are the same. Even if terrorists have the opportunity to save millions of lives by fearing the sacrifices they will face, no one wants to get their hands dirty. That's why a trial expert, played by Samuel L. Jackson, would come in handy. But the film does not stop at the moral torture of the audience, but finally puts the torture of the democratic system at the center.
With the development of the film, we found that Arthur Young came well prepared and was not afraid of all kinds of torture. He chose to come under the mall camera and be caught, and he chose to face the interrogators directly to make his own demands. Of course, he can choose to disappear here, at least the CIA will not find him in a short time. He chose to be caught because he believed that his life would not be threatened until he got the bomb address. He may not have expected that the trial experts in the film would be so cruel, and of course the audience should not have expected it. However, he had come prepared, and he did not reveal the location of the hidden fourth bomb until his death. Only Henry Humphreys had a hunch that he had never told the truth. He was the only one who chose to fight alone and torture Yang Ge in the cruelest way, hoping to get the real information. The people around were opposed, but they still acquiesced to Henry's approach under urgent pressure. This mentality was exactly what Young expected.
So in this case, your enemy (terrorist) will not use extremely cruel methods to obtain information in the face of knowing that you are in a moral consideration and that everyone is equal in a democratic society, so what should you do? Continue to abide by the code of ethics or change your bottom line to overcome violence? This is a serious question, and not something an individual can make a choice about. Obviously Henry made a choice in the movie, but the crisis was not resolved in the end under the obstruction of everyone. In the end, Young persisted until the bomb exploded and chose suicide, and he said a sentence before his death: "please help me take care of my children", which made me realize the powerlessness of a democratic society: your enemies have killed millions of your compatriots , but you have to take care of his family for him. This is an illogical thing in people's hearts and emotions, but it is the only thing you can do in a democratic society, otherwise you will be violating the law and humanity.
In the film, FBI counterterrorism agent Helen Brody exclaims, "we can't do this, we are human beings," when she learns that Young's two children will be used to interrogate the fourth bomb. let the bombs go off we can not do this!" At this moment Henry reluctantly sighed and conceded defeat. On the other hand, Young breathed a sigh of relief. In this war, he was the victor.
Yes, this is a war, "it's not about you. this war, this is sacrifice. "If we don't understand that, we're going to fail.
“please take care of my childrem”, but will they do the same?
