Red

The movie Red was very philosophical. The Judge questioned basic morality based upon the effects of turning up crime or vice. Red also questioned choices made in life that lead to misfortune. Being a judge made the Judge to make a decision about one case that he felt he wrongly decided. That decision came to haunt him for the rest of his life. I understand that being a judge could lead to deep questioning of morality and laws, but that doesn't mean that it will ruin your life. It seems that those who are judges are highly regarded and generally have families and social lives. The film seems to take awhile to unfold, but is tied up in a twist at the end, like a tootsie roll. I enjoyed the film because of its acoustics and picture. The questions about religion were also interesting, since morality is a seemingly arbitrary agreement. Obviously survival would be at the top of such mutual agreements. However, I wonder about laws today, whether they were conceived through the best means for survival or those that are from religions. Who gets to decide morals for us all? I believe that survival is the best.
