I thought David would be a little smarter

I thought David would be smarter, but he didn't, I've been waiting for the director to turn it around, I thought this story should be a little new, but it didn't. When the heroine received the video at the end and found out that David knew everything, I was shocked that she would cry. I thought everyone knew that David was involved in this plan. The plot seemed shocking, but it didn't touch my heart at all. .

David followed a fanatical cowboy and a leukemia man in a seemingly meaningful performance art. I still don't understand why the leukemia patient was afraid because she had to face death, and she felt that she should not die, so she decided to let others refuse to be punished. The most surprising thing to me is that David, a university professor with a super IQ, would agree to this flawed suicide plan. many people. This is not martyrdom, this is wishful thinking.

To be honest, when I saw their death-row inmates put a red cross on the photo, my heart was calm, even a little relieved. This practice of trying to abolish the death penalty across the board regardless of the seriousness of the crime made me feel very hasty and unmotivated. To put it bluntly, the death penalty is just that some murderers get the punishment they deserve. The murderers have destroyed other people's families. Now David tells them: "Don't do this, it will only be a vicious circle" or something, "He is just a Boy, have a bright future BALABALA" and then engaged in a flouting of the law and a self-orgasm.

To be honest, this thing is shocking and stupid.

The Life of David Gale quotes

  • Constance Harraway: Stop that!

    David Gale: What?

    Constance Harraway: Active listening, I hate active listeners. I always feel like they're to busy *pretending* to be listening to hear what I'm saying.

    David Gale: I can listen and actively listen at the same time. I'm good at that.

  • David Gale: Fantasies have to be unrealistic because the moment, the second that you get what you seek, you don't, you can't want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent. It's not the "it" that you want, it's the fantasy of "it." So, desire supports crazy fantasies. This is what Pascal means when he says that we are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness. Or why we say the hunt is sweeter than the kill. Or be careful what you wish for. Not because you'll get it, but because you're doomed not to want it once you do. So the lesson of Lacan is, living by your wants will never make you happy. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals and not to measure your life by what you've attained in terms of your desires but those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, even self-sacrifice. Because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives is by valuing the lives of others.
