Death Penalty or Life Sentence?

While watching this film I was a bit confused and scared if I'm being completely honest. Throughout most of the film I thought the girl was the innocent one and that everyone else was taken over by the images on the screen but when I knew something was wrong was when she started to know the future about the woods. Although it was the opposite, I still feel like the people had been taken over by some sort of technology to believe that it is funny to watch this happen to someone and to also participate in a show where they treat someone so wrongly, no matter how bad they screwed up before. It was as if she had already been there or gone through that same situation. I knew all along that the flashing pictures were trying to tell her something but that took a left turn when everything was explained in the end. In my opinion, this way of doing things was in their eyes a way to get justice like how we currently do the death penalty. Personally, I believe this is a worse method than the death penalty because this is now something they are dealing with for the rest of their life but it is worse than just sitting in prison.

Torturing someone everyday even if they don't remember it until the end is worse than just killing them because they do not feel as much fear and pain as the person that they hurt originally. I think our society is very separated on our opinions about whether the death penalty should be allowed but I think we will never reach an agreement. One day we will get to the point where we can control technology to the extent in the movie, and maybe we will one day get to the point where people will do what was shown in this film. Whether this is a true definition of justice like they say it is by putting on a show or whether this is unjust and because what they are doing is just as bad as what she did to the little girl is something we may never agree on but I think things will definitely get to this point and one day. May people would participate in this event, but I do think it would more efficient if they just did it once so the person could learn from their mistakes. Instead this person would get a life sentence of torturing or even 30 days of it, but they would not remember it so they wouldn't learn anything from it.  Just punishing this one person made it seem like all other crimes were not being taken care of.
