The Shocking Documentary: White Bear

This past week we watched a documentary called "White Bear". While watching the short film, I had no idea what to think or how to feel. I couldn't understand why these people were acting this way. In the film, a girl wakes up in a house. She has no idea if she actually lives in the house or not. She sees this symbol on the television that causes some flashes of her memory. She also finds a picture of a little girl which also causes memory flashes. She runs outside to catch her bearings and finds people videoing her. My first thought was, "Why in the world are these people taking pictures? Is somebody on that playground that she's standing in? This girl is about to get attacked by some scary beast!" I was wrong, they were watching her through the screen on their phones. They continued to video as these masked people chased her and tried to kill her. One girl decided to help her. They tried to get away as fast as they could from these masked killers and the people that were just videoing and watching. As the film went on, I could just not figure out why these people wouldn't help. It made no sense to me! However, once it explained everything, I understood. This woman, who had no recollection of who she was or what she had done, was a murderer. She may have not done the actual killing, but she stood by and watched through the camera on her phone as her fiancé killed the little girl that she found the picture of. They were showing this woman what she'd done the way she'd done it to the little girl. She in no way helped the child, just like the people videoing her while she was being chased. The really disturbing thing though, is that these people were using it as a form of entertainment. They hadn't just done it to this girl once, but many, many times. They would electrocute her and make her forget everything and start all over again. They had turned it into a play of sorts. They even had people come and learn what to do. This just goes to show that, our society today, does everything through our phones. People don't help each other anymore. We watch and hide behind a small screen. Now, the question that is burning in all of our minds, is this really just? In the minds of the people torturing this woman, yes. They believe what they're doing is perfectly justifiable because that little girl lost her life when she never deserved to. In some cases, I can agree, but doing it over and over? This woman doesn't learn anything, because she just keeps forgetting it all over again. Now, another question, is it moral? In my opinion, I say HELL no. This woman isn't able to live her life the way it was intended. These people have now taken control of it. They are trying to play God and that's never moral. To me, those people should have done it once, maybe twice, and then put her in jail for the rest of her life. She would have been stuck thinking about what she'd done forever after that.
