Moral multiple choice

Grayson 2022-12-10 12:58:19

In general escape room movies, multiple acquaintances or strangers are connected by something and are imprisoned by someone hiding in the dark. During the period, they are coerced by the person and need to complete some tasks, otherwise they will die or die. Can't escape or something. It is usually because these people made some mistakes that some people died. To imprison them is to use lynching to try them. I really like watching this kind of escape room movie, because in addition to the manifestation of intelligence, many people imprisoned in the room for a long time will inevitably reflect the conflict of human nature. How to describe the conflict of human nature is very interesting. This film is not the same as other imprisoned films. The 50 imprisoned persons must choose who is dead and who is to live. Every time an "opinion leader" jumps out to explain a point of view is a moral choice question. At the moment of life and death, is it to let the elderly die and the patients to die? Let the unmarried and childless die? Let the atheists die? Let the heretics die? Let illegal immigrants die? Let the criminals die? Let homosexuals die? Let the disabled die? Let the morally flawed people die? With these questions as the story develops, the viewers should also ask themselves how I would choose.

From the moral point of view, children and pregnant women should be allowed to survive, but this is life and death. People can’t help but start to measure their lives and start to compare, just because they are children and pregnant women are more than the first half of "I" hard work. Does it make sense and is more worth surviving? No, "I" disagree, "I" lives more valuable, "I" helps people in need, "I" will be more valuable if I live out! So they would ask, "My child, do you get A in all exams? Girl, what does the child's father do?"

Ah, I hope that all beings are equal.
