We have no right to decide the fate of others

I have watched hundreds of movies this year, but there are only a handful of good ones. This movie is one of them.
A good movie is indispensable to the ultimate concern for human nature, so as to be thought-provoking.

After watching this film, I stand on the side of the protagonist Patrick. Although the mother is as depraved as ever, who can say that the little girl must have bad results? Out of good intentions, given her a good environment, this little girl may not be happy, but in the face of adversity, she may still be free from depravity.

Patrick said that if he was given a choice, he wouldn't shoot the kid who killed him. Even if the man committed a heinous crime, Patrick had no right to take his life away.

Even if the father abused the child, he should not endure a grievance in prison.

So, I have no doubts about Patrick's choice in the end. We have no right to decide the fate of others, happiness or not, they deserve it.


By the way, the later incident in the pub and the death of the policeman are a failure, and the fiction is more prominent.
