  1. The four virtues as stated in the video are depicted superbly by the actions portrayed in the film. Very emotional.

  3. This clip helps illustrate how virtues can be viewed from a variety of perspectives as well as showing how different people have different virtues. Great clip!

  4. This video shows so powerful and spiritual scene. It was hard to listen what it says because of the low audio, but I found the four virtues, each of which has its distinct sphere. Wisdom of good and evil; justice, the giving to every man his due; fortitude, the enduring of labor and pain; and deference, moderation in all things.

  5. this video shows how his son is disappointed of himself because he lacks the four virtues his father wants, even though he has other virtudes that are also essential and his father still accepts him the way he is.

  7. This video shows how the four virtues are important, but his father still loves him. It Is also interesting to hear the way they speak about the virtues.

  9. Watching this scene really made me view things differently. It is quite emotional and it made me consider what my family would think of my own personal virtues.

  10. Great message and video. Although the son does not possess all the virtues that are important in life, he still has some that make him the person he is.

  13. What an emotional scene! I wish we could have written one of our discussion forums based on this film. I found it super interesting how different people have different virtues that do not necessarily align with religious law.
