Ethics in Cinema
Project description
Ethics and Moving Image
The validity of the ethics, and of the moral doctrines that attempt to anchor them in the principles and guidelines and ethical infrastructures, we will enter the basic debate between relativism and universalism (objectivism).
Present the main points of this argument, point out the advantages and weaknesses (pros and cons) of this argument, and your stance, also show this discourse of this argument by comparatively examining it the films “Crimes and Misdemeanors”(Woody Allen 1989), and “A Clockwork Orange” (Stanley Kubrick, 1971).

In your answer relate to the following quotes:

“It’s a fundamental difference in the way we view the world. You see it as harsh and empty of values and pitiless. And I couldn’t go on living if I didn’t feel it with all my heart a moral structure, with real meaning, and forgiveness, and a higher power, otherwise there’s no basis to live”. (“Crimes and Misdemeanors”)

2.
“What good is the law if it prevents me from receiving justice? Is what she’s doing to me just? Is this what I deserve”? (“Crimes and Misdemeanors”)

3.
“Now the unique thing that happened to the early Israelites was that they conceived a God that cares. He cares, but at the same time he also demands that you behave morally. But here comes the paradox. What’s one of the first things that that God asks: that God asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son, his beloved son to him. In other words, in spite of millennia of efforts we have not succeeded to create a really and entirely loving image of God. This was beyond our capacity to imagine.” (“Crimes and Misdemeanors”)

4. The question is whether or not this technique really makes a man good. Goodness comes from within. Goodness is chosen. (“A Clockwork Orange”)

Also remember to base your answers, with each connection to the examination of the films- to the unique characteristics of the film expression (film language) and not just on the films textual claims.
