THE ETHICAL/MORAL AND LEGAL ISSUES IN THE MOVIE

There are many issues in Mirror Mirror movie. The firs issue in this movie is the queen plan to murder all descendants of the kingdom such as the king and Snow White for conquer the kingdom with cruel way. After the queen married to the king, they wear a pair of necklaces that already had a black magic made by the queen without the knowledge of the king. All the actions are controlled by the syaithaniyya queen until one day she ask the king to go into the jungle. The king complies with the order of the queen until him willing to leave his beloved child. Then, the king is not appeared anymore. Actually the king had already become a fierce beast. Beside that, the queen asks the servant to kill Snow White after she knows Snow White having an affair to the prince. At the same time, the servant was obliged by the king and he let her in the middle of the jungle. The queen action is not ethical. Roughly, to get the throne we not suppose to murder people who are not fault. There are other ways to get the throne by good way such as govern the kingdom together with the king which is her husband. The second issue is the seven dwarfs become thieves after the king married to the heartless queen because the queen banishes them from the kingdom. Before they become thieves, all of them have their own work such as teacher, butcher and pub owner. However, after they are already banishment from the kingdom the only work that they can do is robbed. They rob all the money, staff and food of the people who pass by the forest like they rob all the money that the servants collect from villagers. Besides that, they also steal Prince Alcott’s food, money and also his cloth when Prince Alcott on his way to the queen’s kingdom. The seven dwarfs’ action is not ethical because they stole property from innocent people. Supposedly they should fair to others and try to find other job which is more ethical.

THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VILLIAN FROM A CONSEQUENTIALIST POINT OF VIEW

The queen who is the villain tries to take over the kingdom from The King and Snow White. She uses the cruel action to conquer the kingdom such as wants to kill Snow White, impose higher taxes towards villagers and banish the dwarfs from the kingdom. For positive result, The Queen will get all the wealth, power of the kingdom and the kingdom itself. Besides that, Snow White get the knowledge how to use weapon for protect herself and the kingdom from the queen. For positive non ethical result, Snow White becomes more matured after she knows how cruel the Queen governs the kingdom. She tries to get out from the palace to see the real life of the villagers after ten years the Queen take over the kingdom. Furthermore, Snow White feel happy after she get back the kingdom, safe the father, The King from dark magic and married with charming prince, Prince Alcott. For negative result, Snow White almost killed by the servant that instruct by The Queen in the middle forest. Then, her father also becomes a beast in the forest after getting dark magic from The Queen. Same goes to Prince Alcott, he almost married the Queen after drink a poison drink given by The Queen. For negative non ethical result, the action that The Queen do to everyone finally replies where she become old and died in a horrible way. Other than that, Snow White become unhappy and frustrated towards the action taken by The Queen which is related to the movie The Queen imposed higher taxes to the poor villagers and use it for herself interest. Furthermore, the servants and the villagers are feeling unhappy and not satisfied with the queen action. In conclusion the action taken by the Queen is not ethical.

THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE HERO/HEROINE FROM A DEONTOLOGY POINT OF VIEW

Snow White who is the heroine tries to uphold justice in property distributive and protect her father’s kingdom from The Queen with the help from Prince Alcott and seven dwarfs. For universalizability, if other person is at Snow White’s position, they will act or makes same decision towards the queen. She kills The Queen by cut off the necklace wearing by the beast which will make The Queen become old and weak. At the last of the story, she succeeded in killing the queen by giving back the poison apple to The Queen which results of her dead. For respect for rational beings, Snow White gives The Queen warning to give back the right of the villagers and be benevolence queen shows that Snow White treated The Queen with dignity and not for self interest. For autonomy, in this situation, Snow White has capacity to continue to fight or gives warning to The Queen. It’s like John Rawl’s Veil of Ignorance where is Snow White ignoring her status as heir to the throne to protect the villagers. In conclusion, Snow White decision is ethical because she fulfill all criteria of the deontological theories.

IN VILLAIN’S SHOES

I) ETHICAL ACTIONS BASED ON THE GOLDEN RULE THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN IF IN THE VILLAIN’S SHOES

If we in the villain shoes, the ethical actions based on the Golden Rule that we would have taken are govern the kingdom together with the king and comply with the king’s decisions. As a result, the king will trust her and the kingdom become peaceful without cleavage. Besides that, take care Snow White as her own child and become a loving mother as a biological mother. Hence, Snow White will respect her as her own mother and trust her as a queen. Then, give a right instructions to the servant which will make the servants salute her and obey all her instructions. Lastly, take care and protect the right of the villagers such as do not use their money for her interest and always concerned about villagers’ benevolence. As a result, the villagers will love her and royal to the King and the Queen of the kingdom.

II) THE FEELING OF REMORSE THAT FEEL AS THE VILLAIN

The feelings of remorse that we would feel as the villain are regret when using dark magic to be the most beautiful woman in the world and conquer the kingdom from the king. However, the dark magic that she apply to certain people like Prince Alcott, The King, and the servants finally return to her back. In addition, we will shame to the family for misappropriate the trust given by them which are the king and Snow White. As the queen, she should know her status as new family member that she must show the good attitude as the queen. We will feel guilty because have an intention to kill the Snow White in the middle of forest by the servants for reasons that are not reasonable. Supposedly, she as a queen must been ethical in the way of she govern the kingdom.

LESSON

From this Mirror Mirror movie, there are a lot of moral that we can make it as a lesson in our daily life. First is we cannot be a greedy person. Related to the movie, The Queen is so greedy until she did not realize that she becomes too cruel like syaithaniyya. She takes all the property and imposes high rate tax to the villagers until they become poor and starving. This attitude also applies when she wants to take over the kingdom from the king even though she can govern the kingdom together with the king. From here we cannot get any benefit for long term period from this attitude otherwise it will make you suffer in the real life.

Second lesson that we can get from this movie is do not being a thief as a shortcut to get money. Based on the movie, we can look at seven dwarfs like to rob all the people who pass by the forest such as they rob the servant and Prince Alcott. Actually, they desperate to rob for survive their life after being banished by the queen from the kingdom. Thus, we must search other alternative to get money in a good way even though in a hard time.

Thirdly, we must use our aql to make a decision. In this movie, we can relate to Snow White that she takes a right decision when she decides to look by herself the real life of the villagers after ten years The Queen throne the kingdom where at there she realize that she need to take an action to change the villagers back to normal.

Next is do not use dark magic for jealousy to other people. As mentioned before, the Queen uses the dark magic to conquer the kingdom and to married a young prince. However, the dark magic had already affected her self where is she becomes old and weak until she died in Snow White’s wedding. Dark magic also makes innocent people become suffering hence we cannot use dark magic in the real life because it will cause more burdens than benefit.

Lastly, do not easily believe to any people even though to our own family. We can see in the movie that the King easily married the Queen before knowing the true attitude of the Queen. He just chooses her because in physically she was the most beautiful woman in the world. However, it is only the dark magic to cover her real old wrinkle face. From this situation we must properly search the background of the people that we want to trust.
