Eric Morgan-- Decalogue 8

In this movie we could easily see that there was a struggle of great emotional significance over the theme of the movie, do not bare false witness. What we could see is that there were two sides; first was the old woman who in order to not be false basically confronted her past head on, and didn't leave anything out, and second was the old man at the very end, who did the complete opposite by not talking, thinking, or acknowledging the past. The second approach would seem to be the best way in order for yourself to feel better about what happened but what is portrayed by ignoring past actions is incompleteness, represented by the job that the man had just making dresses. But the first what was seemingly monotonous, represented by the straightening of the picture frame, seemed to be the best way for one to heal. Ignoring the past is not how you grow or heal but facing it head on and battling it is the way in which one become a strong better person.
