[FUCK THE POLICE]

/SPOILERS

Anyone else seen this movie?

I was definitely not left with any deep feelings at the end of it. I was thinking, who does this man think he is? He fashions himself as god, and goes out to the world and tries to find random "good" people who deserve his organs. Quite frankly, this is creepy, and it is not only disturbing, it's immoral. The organ donor list exists for a reason - if you are in need, you should be given an organ just because you are a human being.

That's why the list is random, and people don't get to choose who they give organs too. That would have disgusting ethical consequences - minorities and other "undesirables" would have a smaller and smaller chance of getting organs. The message rings hollow at the end. If you want to save people immediately, you can sign yourself up as an organ donor and put a bullet in your head right now (although you'd save just as many people by waiting for a natural death, which, of course, isn't explored at all in the movie). Just don't try to play god with other peoples lives and your organs.

And I'm trying to explain why what he did was anything but a moral, selfless act, and why the film rings hollow as a story of redemption because the premise is deeply flawed.

Not a movie review, LOL, because movie reviews aren't supposed to contain spoilers. I'm just saying that it's goody-goody-two-shoes message isn't even that great when you think about the damning consequences if everyone acted like him.

Number 1 moral from the movie: don't drive while texting.

Whoa Water! Stop the presses, you've uncovered a remarkable hidden truth! Who ever could have known that movies are soulless idiocy designed to drain your pockets, rather that egalitarian moral compasses which we should all live by?

How did you figure this out, and at such a young age?

It's because he is so deep and knows how to use an automatic poetry generator and plays instruments and stuff.

ok retard. apparently you don't know your internets enough

doing something like "/spoilers" implies there ARE no spoilers. it derives from ending an html tag or what have you. the slash stands for "end spoilers" or "out spoilers".

so watermark fails at life so miserbly.
