Crimes and Misdemeanors is a movie about the conflict of morality and reason. "A man can reason himself into anything" and thus, what is the use of morality? On the other hand, so much of our joy in life comes from morality...I.E. fidelity is better than adultery and so forth.
The movie complicated this question by bringing to light people's own instinctual drives in solving problems and seeking security as being less satisfying than moral high ground, but doesn't directly give us an idea of which one is correct.
In the end the movie provides good media and thoughts to be discussed at a later time.
