Reflection 6

 Recently, I've watched quite an interesting Polish movie "Short film about killing". In my opinion it showed in a simple way how people perceive death or murder due to the person who committed the crime and the way of doing it. The main plot was about a young man who brutally killed a taxi driver. Firstly, I felt anger because all in the entire driver was an innocent man, the murderer didn't know him so he didn't seem to have a reason to commit that crime. I thought so until the next scenes showed that the man actually wanted to steal a car to go on a trip with his girlfriend. Of course this is not an excuse for his behaviour but at least it clears a little his motives. In the end the criminal confessed to his lawyer about his sad past, the fact that his friend accidently killed his sister. It seemed like in his opinion this accident was the reason why he changed and committed the crime.

 Finally, there is a scene of the murderer execution and this was what actually made me think about this film. That's because the main character was put in the bad light because of the murder but in the end hangman also kills him so why the hangman can be innocent. It is still taking away someone's life but just in the other way. And in my opinion the fact that it's his job is not an excuse.
