Blog 3:The Train Job, again

Snow is pretty, but the temperature was really low.    

The train job, again.
Many movies talk about people’s future. Most of those moves say that people will move to another star, and have completely new life there. No matter where we move, the world still has two sides, positive side and negative side. Some people are always on the bad side. Such as Niska, he kills people if they cannot finish their jobs and never thinks those things are bad. Some people are positive, just like Inara.
Capital Mal is a person who lives between positive and negative. I like to describe him as a “grey” guy. He does business with Niska. He do not care what Niska ask he to steal. It seems that he only care how much money he can get from those businesses. He also likes to help people. He let the doctor hides in his spaceship and decided to return those boxes when he knows what actually in there. He just likes the color between black and white, not always white and not always black. At the end of the train job, the old policeman says” …when he know all those details and situations like us, he has a choice. ”. Cal’s answer is “I don’t believe he does”. He still cannot have a clearly definition about himself. He is still a grey man, and he may still needs to do business with bad guy. In this episode, Cal is a hero for those sick people, but he is not a heron for himself.
People not always make positive choice. We do different things for living. We know those decisions are wrong but we still do it. Sometimes we make decisions just because we do not have other choice.

  1. I agree with the fact that you desribed Mal as a "grey" guy. He pursues his goals like money, fame and other things, but at the same time, he also makes positive choice.
