Set in the Scottish highlands it is an interesting
movie about a code of conduct, a code of honour that goes to regimentalize
and civilize
a mindset that seeks a sense of order and predictability amidst much evil and wickedness
that such nice folk
(played by Liam Neeson and Jessica Lange in the plot of the movie) would
have to confront and negotiate through as treacherous
conditions would no doubt
see them devoured by circumstances. All societies have come though something
similar in the way of a
period of having to calm the waters so that a real sense
of goodness replaces the rules of engagement that are otherwise based on
the
morality of self interest and basic survival alone. nevertheless that is
something and it certainly beats being altogether at the
vagaries of a
completely uncivilized setting where no sense of quid pro quo is recognized as
intelligible by those on the stage.
It was heartbreaking to see Liam Neeson's character suffer as much as he does
in this movie with what befalls his family in what
is barbaric cruelty (He has a
heavy burden that is cruelly and with obvious malice, inflicted upon him that is
only cathartically set
right after great turmoil). Oh well, all is well that ends
well as they say. This is a movie for fans of Jessica Lange and for those that
enjoy the banter of discourse of what is civil engagement in what Hobbes would
refer to a "state of nature", nonetheless.
