Ethics and Ethical Dilemma
The movie that I chose for ethical quandary is the Disney movie called UP. It is a story based on an ancient patch and how a boys reconnoiter boy helps the doddering universe keep his house by floating the old mans house with balloons. This is an adventurous movie. It has a lot of ups and downs. The ethical dilemma in this movie the man is old, his wife is dead and the urban center is building new buildings all most his house they want him to vacant his him go to an old folks home to live for the appease of his remaining life, which is the ethical thing to do.But instead the story is a bit far stretched out, but he escapes it in an unethical unrealistic way and floats his house away with balloons. The old man risks his life the boys scout boy, and the dog. The situation could have been worse, where the old mans house could fall anywhere in the story making this a terrible and unrealistic idea of saving his house. Another ethical dilemma in this movie is the bird it is obviou sly an endangered species. So does the original explorer guy have the mightily to capture the bird and show to the world?Or does the old man have the right to gag rule the explorer and rescue the bird? In my opinion the explorer has some rights, but the way he wants to make money out of the bird is unethical. The old man has the right to stop the explorer because the old man sees his self through the eyes of the bird and how he cannot live the life he wants to in his house. At the end not only does the old man not have to go to an old folks home, instead he keeps his house. Unrealistically the house sits right where the story started from. The movie showed how break down packed the city is, but the old man was able to restore his house.Once the house was where it started from, none of the city officials took any actions, but instead let the old man keep his house and the city officials reinforced their buildings and roads around the house which could be a hazardous situation in t he future. The old man once again finds happiness from boy and dog and he never has to worry about facial expression again. He escapes reality so to speak. No matter how I look at this movie at an ethical point, all I can say is that sometimes unrealistic stories like UP get word us a good moral lesson about life.
