Moral nihilism.
The Joker took advantage of the fragility of morality in the face of reality to defeat the police department and the citizens of Gotham who did not care about justice, and he used this process to defeat Harvey Dent, who insisted on justice.
The police and citizens are ordinary people, and they do not pursue too much justice and morality, but everyone still has some basic bottom lines. restrain yourself. But in fact, when the situation is really critical, morality often becomes very fragile. For example, in the film, the police are bribed and threatened from time to time, and a large number of citizens have begun to disregard the law because their relatives and friends are threatened. This actually proposes a direction for the "trolley problem", but it's a terrible one.
Harvey Dent is the kind of person who has always followed through with his pure view of justice, and he is also very courageous. But Harvey actually cares more about himself. He cares about his view of justice, but he also cares about his girlfriend. When the so-called justice of others destroys his own justice and his girlfriend at the same time, he will no longer suffer No, he appealed the root of the problem to the injustice of this system. He believed that today's society could no longer rely on the so-called moral justice, and he felt that such things were no longer reliable. The clown showed him a new logic of life, don't care about those moral rules, these are all cold jokes, what's fair is luck, a coin toss decision, simple and fair, no complicated plans, no sacrifices, let Everyone deserves punishment.
Is morality worthless? To see how good morality has contributed to our society, if we go back to the source, will it really make people feel cruel? Anyway, I don't believe the situation of the two ships in the movie.
