Goodness is messy

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2011)

Here's my thought on this movie: we need to trust forgiveness. We need to come clean (think Banker) as best and as often as we can and trust forgiveness. Doing good - is messy. Helping Jews in Nazi Germany was risky, necessary and not with guaranteed results. Doing "the right thing" would have involved partial failure, as well as the risk of total failure at tremendous cost. Selling them out - there are a million excuses for it. Restitution? No such thing. There is only forgiveness - and that requires coming clean. Denzel Washington gave the banker an opportunity to come clean and he declined and so was doomed.
