In the Gone Baby Gone movie, many of the leading characters like the police captain Jack Doyle and his wife, Remy and his partner officer Nick and his even Angie, galfriend and partner of Patrick, were believed in consequences. They all loved children and they believed that a baby Amanda will be safe and happy if she was took out from her drug addicted mother. The movie showed the consequences, when Angie told Patrick that she saw happiness in Amanda eyes and not to inform the police department about this secret for the betterment of Amanda future life.
Only Patrick among many characters of the movie believed in ethical absolutism. He thinks that murder is murder even he did it for good purpose. He felt guilty when he killed the child molester. He didn’t want to see on consequence side even when his gal friend convinced him about his right action. An addition, he did not want to see Amanda happy and safe future in the captain Jack Doyle house because of his absolutism. He believed keeping other child was a kidnap even though the child was happy there, and the child should be place back in their family, where there was no room for care and love. At the end of the movie, Patrick called the police department and the child was given back to her careless mother.
I think the movie is on consequences side. First of all, all the main characters they scarified their careers and their lives for Amanda future's life. for example, the Jack Doyle left his job and risk his life and his wife life to save Amanda from her reckless mother. And ditectives Remy and Nick died for Amanda futures life too. The movie was clearly showed on consequences side, when baby Amanda happily running toward Jack and hugged him. At the end of the movie, we clearly saw that Patirck did wrong thing to handing over Amanda to her careless and alcoholic mother as she was geeting ready for her date but she was not sure who was going to baby sit her child and she didn’t even know her child’s doll name “Annabelle.”
