1EXTREME MEASURES MOVIE ANALYSIS
Human beings have corporeal as well as non- corporeal aspects present within their
psyche. It is said that human beings are embodied spirits with inspirited bodies; or to put in
simple terms human have minded bodies and embodied minds. There are many arguments
regarding this alleged duality; this duality is relatively easy to assert on the humans but is very
hard to understand. Hence there is no such evidence that would prove or declare that any one of
either the mind or the body is our “real” identity. As per the identity of a person, it is about both
positive and the negative traits within an individual. There is a difference between “me” and “I”
when it is put in context of consciousness (Mandal et al. 2016). The word ‘me’ reflects the self
as an object of experience, whereas, the word ‘I’ corresponds to the self as the subject of the
experience.
The movie Extreme Measures is all about presenting complete conundrum of ethics and
morality between the dilemmas of what is best for an individual and what is best for masses. The
character Dr. Guy Luthan, who is also the protagonist, faces this same dilemma with serious
choices and these choices dictate the moral belief of the protagonist. If any other person in place
of Dr. Luthan, he/she might have done the same thing as the protagonist, since the character of
Dr. Luthan has been set as an example of a person with deontological reasoning because of the
way he opposes the act of Dr. Myrick. However, if I was in place of the character of Dr. Luthan
and asked to do “anything” to regain mobility I would have hesitated to attempt anything that
would seriously question my moral beliefs. I think I would choose to live with the disability
rather than doing something that would taint my psyche and make me question my decision for
the rest of the days of my life. It is partly because of the obsession of Dr. Luthan that he could do
what he did for regaining his mobility.
