Abstract

Evil, one of the ancient problems humanity has faced, continues its existence within the intellectual occupations of modern people by discussing benefit-harm and means-ends as matters of debate and is addressed as an important theme with different perspectives in cultural areas. The film Elena (2011), directed by Russian director Andrey Zvyagintsev, anesthetizes the evil in the context of material-moral interindividual relations within the structure of modern society, and opens it for discussion on the philosophical plane, allowing the evil to be the subject of abstract discussions in the context of concrete events. In this framework, the philosophical messages presented in Elena on good and evil are analyzed in the article, and the instrumentalization of evil to achieve the goal and the dynamics of doing evil for good are discussed in the context of subjective goodness thought.
