To start off i would like to say that the movie kept my attention the whole way. I did not realize until the end that everything i had been seeing and questioning was false information. The director did a great job with that part of the movie. As for what the movie was centered around i did not feel a sense of attraction toward.
The main character of the story for me was not believable. If she had been a murdered and killed this little girl as was told in the movie, then she should at least have some set of skills that could prompt for survival. This was not the case and the whole movie she was just seen as a whiny cry-baby. This made if unbelievable for me. Even with the memory lose that had happened for multiple straight days, there would have still be some form of inherent skill set or thinking that would have lingered with her.
As for the punishment i found it interesting. There was no lesson learned. The point of punishment is to teach a lesson the person who is being punished. For people in the old days who would steal they would get their hand cut off. Back in that day people would eat with one hand and wipe their ass with the other. The punishment would be to cut off the hand that they eat with. This was a severe punishment but it definitely got the point across, don't steal. For the girl she never learned. The would punish her and take her memory of being punished. This is the equivalent of beating a dog because it woke up in the morning. Then you are nice the whole day only to beat it up when it wakes up the next day. There is no reasoning behind it other than you just want to show your dominance. I would like to know what others think of this.
I agree that the director did a great job at feeding us false information, but I disagree that the main character would have kept some sort of survival skill set because her memory was so severely tampered with for at least three weeks that we know of. Not every skill set becomes inherent, especially after such torment that she went through.
ReplyDeleteI think that this form of capital punishment would be wrong because there is no lesson learned as you said. They clear her memory every single day which leaves her without a memory of what she did, much less the fact that this has happened every day. She can't learn a lesson from it, which makes this form of capital punishment a form of public entertainment -- I mean, they are making a profit off of her.
