【Ent】Vertical Limits - afterthoughts／有感而發

Have never watched vertical limits before… A friend lent it to me once but I wasn't interested… A few days ago, while I was bored and switching channels hoping to find something interesting, I was caught by the scene where "3 of them were hanging off the cliff and dad was shouting at son to cut the rope and sister shouting at son not to, son cut and dad died." I was enchanted and ended up finishing the whole movie…

For days, I kept asking myself the same questions: "what would I do if I were the son? Would I cut the rope to save my sis and let my dad die or would I rather take the risk like sis and possibly dying together?" In the end, my conclusion is that it really depends on who's below and on top of me… Who's more important to me, the one on top or the one at the bottom… For example, if dad's not at the bottom but in other positions, I believe he would not cut the rope no matter who's at the bottom, son or daughter… If you were the one in the center, what would you do? Cut or not?


從未看過【Vertical Limits】這齣戲．．．之前，曾經有人借過給我，但我沒甚麼興趣，所以沒看．．．幾天前，因為太無聊，一直轉台，突然在銀幕上看到三人掉掛在懸崖上．．．女兒、兒子、爸爸．．．爸爸要兒子切斷繩子．女兒不許．兒子終於切了．爸爸掉崖，死了．．．我著迷了．．．

連續幾天，我一直捫心自問：＂如果我是那兒子，我又會怎麼做呢？切還是不切呢？切，爸就會掉崖死．．．不切，大家都可能會死．．．最後我的結論是：這整件事的關鍵在於我在哪個位子，以及其他兩個人是誰？哪個在我心中的份量較重？那個是我寧死也要救的？我相信，如果爸爸不在下面，而在中間或上面，他會寧死也要救他們倆．．．你呢？如果是你，你有會怎說呢？切還是不切？跟我分享你的意見吧！
