I may not like it but everyone is not like me. I find it disturbing and painful to even think about and I'm such a opponent of the "sport" that it very nearly put me off seeing the film.īut here's where I try to be open minded.I try not to judge everyone by my standards.Especially males (as I am female) and how it has often been presented as a form of macho bonding in film. Well, I totally, totally agree on the hunting aspect.and have never understood the sport of it at all.

"Calibre" reminded me of another movie about a similar topic: "Walking Out". We've all been guilty of just following the wicked urgings and advice of our best friends/ family, etc. But he reminded me of my former self, who would just let random strangers peer pressure me into doing things that God - my conscience- said just weren't right for me to do. They did it to lord over the creatures of the wild.ĭon't get me wrong. because there was nothing to eat and they needed food. It is not like they were doing it for survival. Killing an animal for the pure joy of the hunt is repugnant to me. He had the right ethics, and a good heart, but his failure to act on what he knew was right in his heart led to the deaths of innocent people. And that lack of backbone on his part led to their debacle. He believed killing deer was unfair, but he still let his friend pressure him into doing it. The point I was trying to make was that Vaughn was finicky. reply would never aim a gun at an innocent, majestic, beautiful, and dear (pun intended) creature such as a deer. He is probably going to wish many times in the future that he had died with his friend. Vaughan will suffer with this for the rest of his life so maybe his friend really got the easier choice. In the end it was he and his friend both dying or saving himself. So once his friend killed the father there was little they could do. They could've pleaded self defense but it might've been a hard sell. Vaughan still wanted to do the "right thing" even after his friend had killed the father but no longer felt his say was enough since his friend had dug a deeper hole for them both and they were now beyond an accident and actually guilty of murder. Very few people would go to the drastic extent of his friend and I think it was obvious it was not likely to work out. Would they have been condemned anyway without the cover up? Maybe if his friend hadn't killed the father than Vaughan would've taken his due.But then again, would they have survived the anger of this backwoods village in the first place. But was the father really going to kill Vaughan and was his reaction necessary? Vaughan accidentally kills the boy and his friend reacts swiftly at the threat of the father. caught up in a situation spiraling rapidly out of control. I think he was basically a good man and basically representative of most of us, an every day man. I disagree with your consensus that Vaughan was a "spineless moron".
