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!!
The moral of Collateral is the good guy always win the game, tell us that we should be a good guy to save people and be justice. And dont just work for money, you should know the reason why you are gonna do that. The core value of the movie are brave, kindhearted, etc.. I know this is because the killer finally dead, and the kindhearted guy finally save the girl, and I can imagine he will has a relationship with a girl.
ReplyDeleteThe moral of COllateral is that everyone might have their own story and we might not know all of their story, so we need to think about others when we do something to them.
ReplyDeleteThe core value in this movie is to be brave, if you can't be brave in the right you might lose everything, like the people you like, maybe it also tell us that when you have something or somebody you need to protect you will be brave, and you can't image how brave you are, like Max is brave enough to against Vincent when he want to protect Annie.
i think the moral of collateral is everyone can meet unexpected thing. do not fear it. courage to face it, you will succeed. so you should bu courage. and alao talk about you don't work for money. you should take care of your family or friend. You have to be kind to everyone. so i think courage, don't work for money, goodwill.

ReplyDeleteCore value is the faith that guides us. The moral of Collateral is telling us the truth always exists. It tells us to do right things. Evil is never victory. Also, I believe that people have unlimited potential when they are in danger. At that time, they can be a superman or superwoman. Such as the mother protect her baby in the earthquake. At the end of the movie, we can see Max save Annie without considering himself. He put Annie above him. He becomes brave at last.
ReplyDeleteThe moral of Collateral is family and love. According to the movie, we can know Max goes to see his mother every night. He cares about his mother, even he lie to his because he does not want his feel disapporting to him. He hopes his mother is happy. Then, Max saves Annie. He wants to protect her, even he can lose his life. Also, I think there is friendship. Vincent saves Max in the club. He cares about Max, he treats him as a friend.
ReplyDeleteThe moral of collateral is friendship. Friendship is important to everyone even if you are a killer. Vincent is a killer but he never kill Max, even though Vincent has chace to kill he. For example, when Vincent find Annie and try to kill her in her office, Max suddenly appear with gun. Vincent has enough time to kills Max, but he doesn't, then Max get a change to stop vincent. Vincent is a professional killer, he care about friends as well. There is another example, whe drug sellers and cop are chase after Max in club, Vincent have no reason to take a adventure to save Max as a professional killer. That is what filmmaker teachs me.
ReplyDeleteThe moral of collateral is facing different kind of people everyday. As a taxi driver he faced some kind of people but never one like Vincent's, as Vincent's personality is crucial, harsh, hard to be handled. In the same time Max is finding himself caring and taking care of Vincent while he was shot. Acting like Max with friendly,caring person is what almost everyone would do in the same situation. But the way I see it is what always happens and the good guy win and gets the girl and lives happily ever after.
