What is the moral of Collateral?
As we 
discussed in class today, the characters Max and Vincent each have their own core values. (We may not have all agreed on what their core values actually are, but that's what made the class so fascinating, I think :).) The questions I am now interested in hearing more of your thoughts about are the following:
What is the core value (or what are the core values) of the movie Collateral? What message(s) or moral(s) were the filmmakers trying to teach us? How do you know?
Using the 'Comment' function on this post, please write a paragraph in answer to those questions. Be sure to support your ideas with evidence/specific examples from the movie. Please make your comment BEFORE class this Friday (Feb. 11). Thank you!!
