Moral Deliberations in Modern Cinema

"Moral Deliberations in Modern Cinema" by Samuel Vaknin is a collection of essays that closely examines the moral questions raised by modern films. Using movies like "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "The Truman Show," "The Matrix," and "Titanic" as examples, the book considers issues about who we are, how much control we have over our choices, and what it means to be morally responsible. The author looks at how characters struggle with their identities and face ethical problems. The book also looks at how movies reflect bigger social problems, like the ethics of capitalism and the moral responsibilities people have to each other. By looking at these films in detail, the author invites readers to think deeply about values and how movies affect our understanding of what is right and wrong.
