Gone, Baby, Gone

After watching this movie, I feel that morality is just how we look at the whole thing from different standpoints. Who is moral and who is immoral? It's just that you are analysing the problem from that angle. As for the law, it has no emotion in itself, there is no cause but only an effect. In the end who is right and who is wrong, I am afraid I can only weigh it in my heart.



Everyone in the whole film seems to be full of tragedy, and everyone is struggling with contradictions, hoping to choose a worthy decision. But all things are relative individuals. Today's right may lead to tomorrow's tragedy, and today's wrong may lead to future happiness. No one can predict, no one can control, the only thing that can be done is to go on, go on strong...



Parick's pain lies in his desperate adherence to his principles at the last moment, because after he shot the lover At the moment of pedophilia, when everyone was applauding it, his heart was not forgiven, he said: "I don't know, my priest says shame is God telling you what you did was wrong." . Perhaps before God, no one has the right to judge a person's right and wrong, and when he gave him life, he also tolerated all his faults. Therefore, in the end, Parick didn't want to suffer from this inner torment, and fulfilled his promise to Helen. But is he really forgiven? His beloved girlfriend left him for this, and Amanda was brought back to the filthy family, especially at the end of the film when he pointed to the girl's beloved ragdoll and asked: "Is that Mirabelle?" "Annabelle" The girl's innocent answer made Parikh fall into tangled morality again...



In fact, everyone will encounter tangled moral problems. In order to make up for the loss of his daughter, the decent sheriff in his life did not hesitate to conspire with his subordinates to deduce such a scene. The ups and downs of kidnapping, is he wrong? From a father's point of view he is great, and from Helene's point of view he is shameful. An anti-narcotics policeman broke into a poor house by mistake and witnessed a tragic scene of child abuse. In order to "save" the boy, he deliberately hid the seized drugs in the man's house and framed the man. Was he wrong? From the point of view of a police officer he broke the law, and from the point of view of the innocent boy maybe he did it right.



People mistakes, so when we make mistakes, we have to correct them. We constantly try to make up for the wounds in our hearts. I hope that in the future, looking back on the past will not be full of infinite pain, but at the same time, have you thought about the whole thing from someone else's standpoint? ? In fact, people are so selfish, so who exactly pays for our selfish morality? It's the kids who only forgive and don't judge...
