Source
Code
Source Code is a film about choices.
Captain Colter Stevens was part of an experiment with the government. He had actually
died in the war; but his brain was being used to travel back in time for
answers to questions that no one else could get. Although he was very confused
by the program he ended up being very cooperative and wanting to help save as
many people as possible. Colleen Goodwin, the officer in charge of working with
Stevens on this mission, became close to him. She admired him. The major
decision that Captain Stevens was faced with was going on in this “alternate
universe” to help others or dying completely. He ended up choosing the latter,
but not before he ended up saving everyone in the past accident. Colleen
Goodwin was faced with the decision of keeping Stevens alive to help with
future incidents where he could possible save millions of lives or respecting
his wishes of wanting to die. She struggled with this, but ended up respecting
his decision. He had already come through for them in the recent project. Dr.
Rutledge was the man in charge of the Source Code project. He promised Stevens
that they would let him die after the mission was complete. He then changed his
mind after he saw that the Source Code did in fact work. Dr. Rutledge was not
concerned with the feelings of Captain Stevens. He was most concerned with the
effect that the Source Code project would have on his reputation and the rest
of society as a whole. There were many different ways to choose here. Some of
the choices were only looking out for themselves and others were looking out
for lots of people. Who is right? I believe it depends on each individual situation
and each person’s unique beliefs when the situation unfolds.
