If I were the director of Defiance I would choose to portray the scene where the partisans are beating the scout spying on their location as A the group kills the scout and gets on with their lives afterwards. I would choose to portray it this way because I feel like that is what would most likely happen. The partisans are angry for what has happened to them and in the heat of the moment it is extremely hard to control angry groups of people. Plus in a way the Nazi have probably lost some of their humanity in the eyes of the partisans for what they have done to the Jewish people so afterwards I can’t really see them regretting what they did. This choice connects to my personal sense of ethics not because I believe that that is right is some way, but because if I were the director I would want to use this scene has a way to send a message to the audience. I personally don’t think that option is ethically right, in fact I think it makes the partisans just as bad as the Nazis, but also think that option A raises a lot of good questions on morality, so that’s really way I choose it. Not because I think it is ethically correct, but because I think it causes you to examine the ethics of the whole situation.
