Freedom, choice, responsibility


I recommend this movie for its interesting plot. It connects some of the themes we've covered recently: Responsibility, freedom, and the Kantian issue that of treating people as means to an end. It's obvious that Norma's choice involves other people's ends. (Don't miss Norma talking about Sartre's famous quote: l'enfer c'est les autres ("Hell is other people").
