the dichotomy of good

Rating: 5/10 (12 April 2016)

This is a film about the mistrust of power that places the power to do good and the power to do evil on the same footing and as such attempt is made to bring down good which opens the doorway for evil to come. This is the belly side of sophists' relativism where the distinction between good and bad is blurred through the rhetoric of persuasions. It is an atheistic contempt to relent the need for powerful good on the ground that you cannot trust power. The telltale scene is at the congressional hearing , in which senator Finch was blown to piece before she was able to convince Superman the virtue of collective wisdom and the need for restrain. In a way, this film mimics the complexity of our world today but only in a superficial, convoluted and pulp fiction manner. The scary side is when I saw the character Lex Luthor, the way he manipulates the fight of the titans to weaken the join forces of good, Edward Snowdon comes to my mind.
