Reflection Paper on the Movie the Flowers of War in Relation to Metaphysics and Ethics

Is career after death possible? Are the things beyond our perceptions evasiveness in a factual basis? Moral relativists would say some(prenominal) is good to you is except good for you, whatever is good to me, is good to me whole. So if we swear on things like heaven or glargontwo places weve neer been, never saw, hear, touch, smell or taste. No sensation would say we are wrong, that such place does non exist, because for those of us who believe it does exist, in the mind which can understand and abstract themes.The Chinese hire released last year show evidences of people who believe on things dismantle if it cannot be perceived, some lines in the movie reveal the characters strong conviction, they are not therefore skeptic, also different ethics on how they hairgrip death, react on different situations, and how their attitude is affected by the war. fall a get goingt do anything foolish. So many people have scare offd. tied(p) hell is packed. Why should you add to th e crowd -Yu Mo If the speaker believes in hell, she probably believe in its opposite too. In terms of metaphysics it is life after death. even prohibited if the person is no thirster physically and mentally able to roll signs of creation conscious, as a dissipate of a religion or belief this particular person inactive go throughs on in a place called the after-death world or another part of the universe. Father Ingleman, fly a agency George Chen I cant have a priest staring at me spot Im sleeping. John Miller The convent boy (George) was locution his last dustup for Father Ingleman (the dead priest). He was like talking to psyche who is actually standing in front of him. They were treating the dead as if its quiesce alive, that the priest is looking everyplace them tear mess if it is bonnie a picture.For George on the other hand, he owes the priest his being alive, because he was just an strip and for him flipping the picture would be like disrespecting the memori es of Father Ingleman. A conversation surrounded by Shu and his father Mr. Meng, shows how deep love a parent can give his barbarian yet at war. Mr. Meng sacrificed himself to the Nipponese by joining them crimson if it is unsafe for him to do so. Shus father thinks that through his action he could probably save himself and his daughter. Hed done it for his child, and it pains him that his child cannot limit his efforts to save her.Instead of being treated well, his child looked down on his father and regarded him as a traitor, despite the coldness that Shu shows to his father, Mr. Meng still managed to do what a father is expected to do for his child even if it implicatet putting himself to risk for risking himself is the least thing that he could do just as to protect and ensure that his child is secured. On burying the convent misfires who died when the Japanese attempted to rape them, John Miller hoped that these young womans wont be lonely because he get outing bury them together.It shows that, he believes that those girls will live together somewhere, and by being together, they can live it happily. In this case, inhumation of the death will be the last kind thing that pass alonged to them. being buried formally, is like a solace, a privilege precondition, because not everyone gets a chance to be have a place to rest in times of war. I think I hear what your father is grammatical construction right now I think hes saying that youve done an incredible job taking care of the girls and that youre good, so good. John Miller This is when George Chen volunteered himself to fill up the thirteenth girl that needs to attend the party. He unselfishly did it to fulfill his hope to Father Ingleman that he will protect the girls no matter what it takes, even if it means dying or suffering in the hands of the Japanese.Even though the father does not have a physical entity he thinks that the priest is watching over him thats why he did not broke his pr omise to the priest even if he is no longer present. Even if Father Ingleman is dead, for George, this promise will make the priest happy. On the first part of the reading by C. J Ducasse he give tongue to that when we all accept the fact that we are all going to die in some point of our lives we tend to help our fellows in this move to make it easier, this act draws us closer and makes us more kindly to each other. In the movie, when the convent girls were about to commit suicide, some of the Chinese prostitutes unexpectedly volunteered themselves to go into the party. After the incident they had a debate on whether they would really go or not.They want pleasure. Thats what we do. We have experient all kinds of men As long as we get out alive. We will find a way to survive. Yu Mo Even at first they were unsure of their decision because they thought that risking their lives was not worth it, ultimately these women have accepted their fate. Even if they know something bad might happen to them they did go anyway, they have sacrificed their lives just to save the purity, innocence and most specially the lives of the convent girls. For them it would be like a trade? their lives which they think is already wasted, over the lives of the convent girls which can be made better, and lives in which they could live on to advise and experience all the good the world could offer in the future. Prostitutes never care about a falling nation. They sing and dance while others are dying we should do something heroic and change the old way of thinking. -Yu Mo Please tell him (John) the students cant end up in the hands of the Japanese. Otherwise my soldiers would have died for nothing Major Li With the heroic deed that theyve done, the Chinese women and the soldiers realized that even if they could die at least they have done something good and their death would not mean nothing.It is an action that will live forever in the convent girls hearts and a memory that once in t heir lives someone surrendered in exchange of their freedom and they would forever be grateful for they were given a chance to live longer. Until this day, I still dont know what happened to the women of the Qin Huai River, I never learned all their names and never saw them being taken away by the Japanese. So I always imagine I imagine myself standing by the walloping round window watching them walk in once again. Shu For Shu, the women will never be gone, because she didnt know what exactly happened to them, a part of her is still hoping that they are still and they will never be gone. These women will remain in her heart, because of the one thing theyve done not only for her but also to her friends. The women of the Qin Huai River never walked out of her life they just came in and never left even if they can no longer see them. In the film, we cannot deny the fact that the Japanese soldiers demonstrated brutality. For them, one surmise was not enough to kill people.In those tim es, their work ethics involves them being violent over enemy and even towards women. They dont encourage life anymore, as long as these civilians cross their lines, they are shot. To chalk up it up, the movie teaches the viewers different lessons. Sometimes, we should not be frightened to the idea of death. Because life comes only once, you should live it fully. Life is about living it. Its what you do while you are still able. It is also what you can do to help others. For some, the physical entity may perish, but the memories will retain in the hearts of the people you helped, and this is what matters.
