Ive seen some incredible films, very moving films, but one scene caught me by suprise and lol i kinda lost it, had to literally leave the room.
It was in of all movies!!! The Batman movie where the joker is truly evil as Heath Ledger. So Ledger sets it up so two boats will blow each other up... What in philosophy is called a "prisoner's Dilemna." Each side is told the same: "the other boat can blow you up, so you damn well better blow them up first!" (very clever set up kudos to the director).
So on one boat are some hardened looking prisoners, a sort of milktoast type has the detonator that will blow the other boat up and is being pressured to push the damn button! So the toughest of the lot (the prisoners) looks at the guy and says "Give it to me, you don't have the courage, your weak, etc" it does not take much for the guy to give the prisoner the detonator to blow the other boat up... We all think we know what is next right? the prisoner takes the detonator walks to the side of the boat and throws it over...
That hit me so hard... It reaffirmed my faith in humanity and that we need to know there are people who learn to be good in prison as crazy as that sounds. The prisoners were all of one mind...they prayed together after throwing the detonator over.
