#54 What movie (or character) presents the best example of an ethical or moral dilemma?
It was Eric The Phantom Of The Opera taking the prize for most complicated villain. It was another win for Maggie M., who gets to ask:
What movie (or character) presents the best example of an ethical or moral dilemma? Please explain the choices, conflict and/or the consequences that create the dilemma.
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.Â
Fight it out.

National Treasure. The lead character has to steal the Declaration of Independence in order to protect it from a group of guys who want it for monetary gain. He tries to warn the government first but nobody believes him so, game on.
It's a fun action movie that will get your history nerd on.
My first instinct, and I really do want to go with it, but... Is the character Batman. Seems just about every story shows him wrestling with his conscience. The fact that he distrusts so many -including those fighting on his team- only endears him to me.
I am nominating the movie, "The Good Son." It's going to be very hard to describe it without spoilers so I don't think I will attempt it. If you saw it, and you're like me, it left a heaviness in the heart and it sparked really deep and interesting conversations. Moral dilemma no mother wants to face.
