Brilliant video. After finishing it a quote from Mass Effect 3 came to mind, "Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.” I think when faced with real moral dilemmas, a realistic set of principles are necessary. The afterlife shouldn't matter when your town is occupied by fascists. If the fascists are not effectively resisted against, more lives would surely be lost. So the premise of a single symbolic event deciding your morality is false from the beginning. A moral life should be lived as a whole life. The watchmaker slaps the suffering man but he would then go on to shelter the innocents and hopefully, contribute even more to the larger disobedience towards the regime. A moral person is someone who makes little choices every day to defend kindness in a cruel world.
Wow! That's a great quote. Yes, this is a deeply thought-provoking movie on how we are preoccupied with moral dilemmas - the self-centered and particularly the self-righteous. But eventually shows how pondering upon a hypothetical question, or a symbolic gesture can't really define one's nature or morals. Thanks for watching!
