I watched The Brave One with Jodi Foster this week, the jist of the movie is she get hurt badly and then she goes vigilante and kills like 5 random bad people. there is a sense of this movie that is very gratifying, in fact i felt very pleased and satisfied with her sense of justice, that is taking the law into her own hands. however, there is something else in me, something i allow myself to follow, a guide or standard by which i am able to measure actions and feelings, something most important in times when something feels or seems so right that unless you have a prior standard..., no not prior, but greater, something greater than myself with which to measure, or be measured by, instead of having only my own feelings to guide me in what i believe. i guess what i'm saying is that while i felt good about the way her character behaved, i believe it was wrong, which is counter to my feelings.
