Reaction to "the Black Knight" and how it has to do with Antigone


Today in Class we watched part of "The Black Knight" where the Convicts and the normal citizens had to make a choice between blowing up each other's boat, or all dying themselves.  This has to tie in with Antigone because Antigone is faced with a morality challenge, she can choose between burying her brother or letting him rot away. In the movie The joker said "You have a choice, to blow up the other ship, or at midnight, you all die." because he believed that everyone was coldhearted, just like him. The citizens in the boat wanted to vote if they should explode the other ship or let it be. one citizen said (about the convicts)  "They had their shots, and they didn't do anything!" the vote was 390 for exploding the other boat to 160 against exploding the other ship. the two people who were going to blow up the ship ended up not blowing up anything the head convict took the other ship's explosive, and threw it out the window, the citizen just put the convict's explosive, back in the box, at midnight the Joker said "I wouldn't want to miss the fireworks"  while he had Batman pinned down under a steel beam on top of the Empire State Building, and Batman said  "There aren't gonna be any fireworks."  he was right, and at 12:05 the joker was ready to explode both his ship's on his own.  that's where we stopped. Now back to Antigone, She's  ready to suffer the consequences of  burying her brother, and in the movie, the citizens, and convicts were both ready to suffer their consequences.
