\u201cI think what\u2019s so interesting and so poignant for Jessica, myself, for all of us, is this idea that this woman (Maya) has spent the last ten years exclusively in the pursuit of one man and yes, at the end of the day, she triumphed, but it\u2019s not a victory because finally, at the end of the day, you\u2019re left with much larger questions like, where does she go from here? Where do we go from here? Now what?\u201d Chastain adds, \u201cI find that to end the film on that question is far more interesting than providing an answer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Power of Conscience characters\u00a0wrestle with how far they should go in seeking justice or in standing up against evil or wrongdoing. \u00a0The question is: what is the higher duty and what exactly is required of them in response.\u00a0In their Dark Side, these characters believe the ends justify the means (evil behavior for a good or moral purpose). \u00a0Maya is involved in terrible activities, but she does get her man. Can she live with herself? \u00a0Or is she willing to do even worse things for the next right cause?<\/p>\n
