11/09-Review of The Box...
I have not had a chance to view the movie as of yet but the plot seems slightly intriguing. The author is giving negative and positive feedback on the director. He seems to be leaning more towards the negative end with his comments about making an episode series mixing philosophy and science with the show 'Lost'. The issue in the story is that a couple who is raising a son are have financial problems. An older man leaves a package containing a box with a button attached to it. Supposedly if they push the button some one will die. A million dollars is the reward they will receive if they choose to push the button. I guess that's where my intrigue comes in. If I were to push that button, I'd certainly have many doubts. For one the old man who gave them the box is a complete stranger. That way in which they gained the money would probably haunt them forever. They'd probably be paranoid for the rest of their lives. I believe there should be some moral reasoning when it comes to a matter of this extreme. I would insist on the older man taking the box back before greed or temptation took over me. I may regret not pushing the button and getting the money but I'd rather avoid the chaotic aftermath that may come with pushing it. However, there are some people that would push that button without blinking. In a way, that person becomes a murderer. The money is not worth the worry and your conscious eating at you.
