the key to the puzzle

The question is not what is "good", nor what the "future" is. It has nothing to do with "hope". The key to solving the puzzle lies in a line of dialogue in the middle of the film. Forgot who asked who, what should I do if I want to go to heaven when I die? The pastor quoted God as saying: Be as wise as wolves and as innocent as lambs.

This means: You are not God, you have no right to make choices about other people's lives, and even if her mother is an addict, that doesn't mean you have the right to kidnap her child. If her child is unfortunate in the future, it is also God's will, and you should be in awe. You must be innocent and do not interfere in the will of God, because that is arrogance.

For the male protagonist, he has discovered this secret, so the only option to keep him innocent can and must be to send the girl back to her mother, and he is just the hand of God, unless he never knows about it.

    Is this another moral dilemma? I felt very heavy when I looked at it all the way. I suddenly thought of the phrase "Don’t abuse your sympathy". Why don’t you ask the little girl who would choose? People always like to make it for others. Decide. Brother Xiaoben not only has a baby face, but also a little baby voice

Gone Baby Gone quotes

  • Helene McCready: [while talking to the press] The thing is, she always had a smile on her face. That was her. She was always smiling. I mean, who would take my little girl? She never hurt anybody, never caused...

    Beatrice McCready: [interrupting her] Whoever you are, if you have her, you just let her go. Now we won't charge you, but if you're out there, just let her come home.

  • Patrick Kenzie: [while watching TV] Fucking cops. This is just unbelievable. The whole force standing outside the house, guarding the sidewalk with their arms crossed. I mean, are the kidnappers coming back?
