consequentialism

The movie “Gone Baby Gone” directed by Ben Affleck is about two young private detectives whose names are Patrick (main character) and his girlfriend Angie they are hired to take a closer look at the mysterious disappearance of a little girl and soon discover that nothing is what seems. This people will have to risk everything like their relationship and even their own lives to find a little girl whose name was Amanda and was 4 years old. The detectives were told that little Amanda was kidnap and they don’t have enough time because by the time they find her she might be kill and after all the trouble they when through they found out that it was all a plan of officer Remy and Lionel (Amanda’s uncle) and other guys that were involved in this plan.

In the movie we have two sides the ethical and the consequentialism side. One of the detectives is on the ethical side. He believes that Amanda has to be taken back to his logical mother and that’s what he did. Once he found little Amanda he gave it back to his mother because that’s what he promise Helene (mother).

On the other side Angie was an ethical because she believe that everything happens for a reason. She new that Amanda was better off with officer Lionel becuase she knew she was going to have a better life.

In conclusion, the movie did not pick a side because Patrick itself made his own choice to give Amanda back to the logical mom and u actually see how the movie does not concentrate in one side it kind of show a lil of both side and its the protagonist who made the choice.
