The movie Gone Baby Gone explains us about the different between consequentialism and ethical absolutism as the movie takes place. Patrick and Angie investigators who had to find a girl who was missing named "Amanda" then they had to dicide what's the right decision to make. If leaving the little girl with strengers or taking her back to her mother.
first of all, i dont agree with the idea of patrick taking back the little girl to his mother. it was a bad decision from him because her mother was a very negligent mother who didn't take care of her daugther. for instance, when the mother wanted to go out with her friends she left Amanda the little girl alone in the house with nobody to look after her. so i think that a mother who loves her daugther wouldn't do that. when i was a little kid my mother used to take me with her anywhere she went to. she always used to say that she would never leave a son alone because you never know what can happen to then even if you leave them with a family member. so i believe that Patrick was very ethical and decided the wrong future for the little girl.
another thing is that i think that the movie take place for one side since the beginning of the movie.
for example, the little girl grandfather gave her in adoption to the police captain jack doyle because he knew what his mother was.
in conclusion, the movie Gone baby Gone discussed about consequentialism and ethical absolutism, also it explains how the future of a little girl is ruined due to the bad decision that the detetive patrick took by getting the girl back to her mother. i think that this movie shows a good example to the public that we need to be more responsible regarding our children.
