Moral ambiguity in films refers to characters, choices, or situations that lack clear moral absolutes—right and wrong are blurred, subjective, or context-dependent. Instead of traditional heroes and villains, these stories present flawed protagonists who commit questionable acts for understandable reasons, antagonists with relatable motives, or dilemmas where no option is purely “good.” This complexity mirrors real human experience, forcing audiences to question easy judgments, empathize with imperfect people, and wrestle with ethical gray areas rather than receiving simple moral lessons.Classic examples include: The anti-heroes in No Country for Old Men, Drive, or Parasite The morally compromised decisions in The Godfather, Gone Girl, or Nightcrawler Moral ambiguity deepens narrative tension, provokes thought, and resists reducing complex human behavior to black-and-white morality.https://www.filmschoolrejects.com/moral-ambiguity-in-cinema https://www.bfi.org.uk/features/moral-ambiguity-film
