Understanding Prisoners (2013) | Movie Analysis
Prisoners
Director: Denis Villeneuve
The story of Prisoners is about morality and religion which are both explored through Hugh Jackman’s Keller Dover. An honest man turned to do horrible acts he would never have done through his daughter's disappearance. Prisoners explores this man's descent into desperation and violence.
The clearest theme in Prisoners is that of morality. What is deemed right or wrong. And this is shown through the torture Keller Dover puts Paul Dano’s Alex as he questions him about his daughter’s disappearance. His use of torture is his last way to help his little girl because for him each day that passes by is a day that his daughter doesn't have time to lose.
So what is my reactions to his way of finding his daughter. The only way to answer that is to put myself in his shoes, because clearly what he is doing is wrong. He has taken an innocent man that had no evidence he was involved in the kidnapping and begins to torture him. In any other circumstance hearing that statement will leave you disgusted by Keller’s acts but when you put your shoes in his then his desperate nature is rationalised. If I was in his position I would do anything in my power to find someone I love.
