[4] Atheism in general doesn't give us the
philosophical tools to sort out when a
greater loss is worth the price of ending the suffering of others — and in fact it can create
dilemmas like the problem of what to do with children who are being indoctrinated by their parents into ideas we do not agree with.
By positing the protagonist's experience as a moral
dilemma that forces him to choose between ruthless self - interest (in terms of both himself and his family) and a
greater humanitarian concern for the lives and safety of strangers / the rest of humanity, the movie tries to fake an intellectual and
philosophical dimension it does not genuinely possess.
