Sardines Wrote:Well for the Joker movie, that wasn't really the Prisoner's Dilemma because if both parties tried to cooperate, they would receive the worst possibility which is that they would both die. In the real prisoner's dilemma, cooperation on both parties not to snitch on the other results in being a safe option and the best option for both parties, although a middle-ground for each party individually. Regardless, there is a stark difference between a movie being philosophical versus a movie featuring adapted popular philosophical dilemmas to make it more interesting. What we're detracting from is the fact that you felt some compulsion to involve philosophical movies for no reason. Lol. "... and in like other philosophical movies is never ending retardation." Yes, like all those philosophical movies like Batman, that give humanity a greater understanding of how hatred manifests itself as revenge in contemporary society, truly representative of "never ending retardation." The most immediate movie that comes to mind isn't really a philosophical movie, but its about a dying guy who tries to find meaning in his life before he dies. And hatred is by far the last thing that occurs in the book/movie. I'm just joshing your chops because there aren't really any "philosophical" movies imo, I find the idea of feeling the compulsion to mention movies to be a bad decision, and the concept of "never ending retardation" is one of the more colorful descriptions I've seen recently.
I was joking with the batman thing
The point I was trying to make is that "revenge" is a never ending circle, which some movies make a point out of.
