As an expert in philosophy and philosophy of ethics, I do not want to talk about the structure of the film and its quality in this review, because I believe that this film is an issue that expresses a more important issue about ethics.
We have a kind of excessive self-foundation in individualistic ethics, where we are selfish and face the world through the lens of attributing our own interests only, thus removing them from our lives with the slightest harm to our expectations of others. The root of this problem lies in selfishness. On the other hand, human beings can be seen as beings who are also prone to error, beings who have a higher status in society, while having more moral and social responsibilities, but also face higher moral tests. There is a proverb in Persian that says: "Whoever has more roof, more snow" So if we see successful people as people who may make mistakes like ourselves, with their first mistake, no matter how big and important, We do not leave them alone; This is possible in a kind of moral altruism. In this film, the main victim is the professor and not the student, but for the moral judgment of the film, he moves completely towards error. A professor who is in the middle of a scenario designed by his student and is deceived and caught by his fascination with the fantasy world. Like a victim caught in a spider web.
But what is the judgment of the people and the community around him? How do his friends and wife deal with the professor? They reject him and no one sympathizes with him and does not try to understand his situation. Interestingly, he himself says at the end of the film, while writing, "I have to admit that I betrayed their trust." The problem is that this moral rule in social relations leads to the rejection and loneliness of human beings. Relationships break down, leading to depression and even the suicide of rejected people. Of course, we must live by the principles of moral justice in ourselves, but we must also know that we need "forgiveness." If we do not try to "understand" friends, loved ones, and even all human beings through dialogue, and simply destroy them out of selfishness in the face of others' mistakes as "betrayal," we may one day fall victim to this rule of error ourselves. But the solution to selfishness is compassionate otherness, which leads to "forgiveness" and gives people hope to return to life. If I had a part in the production of this film, I would change its name to "Forgiveness" and try to convey the right message to the viewer of the film, not to confuse the viewer with this error and say that this is society and you too. Accept this sick community and be a part of it!
