Suicide Squad's Twisted Realism
Channel: Foundation for Economic Education
Date: 2021-09-09

Have you ever asked yourself this question: “Why would I go and see a redux of a movie that was so awful in the first place?” Well folks, 2021’s “The Suicide Squad” is your answer. 

More than being a solid superhero movie, it addresses a crucial theme that governments across the world have forgotten: the ends don’t justify the means. 

No matter how noble and worthy the pursuit of the “greater good” is, protecting individual rights and respecting human dignity should always supersede the government’s plans. We’ll break it down and explain why on this episode of Out of Frame.
