The concept of loyalty in movies. An analysis of 'Interstellar' and 'Walk the Line'

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Munich (Carl von Linde-Akademie), language: English, abstract: This paper discusses various concepts of loyalty, mostly as depicted in Michael Sandel's 'Justice' and applies these concepts to the main characters of the movies 'Walk the Line'and 'Interstellar' and their actions.

Starting from three slightly different opinions on what loyalty is, each of three groups discussed their approach with an excerpt of Michael Sandel's "Justice" (pp. 234 - 243) and added significant layers to a process we could name 'the loyalty check up'. After having gained this deep understanding of loyalty and its' patterns, we applied to the excerpt of Michael Sandel's 'Justice' to derive loyalty patterns and to understand what loyalty is based on and if this is just as a matter of fact.
