Decalogue
The first commandment states, "Thou shall have no other God before me." This films shows an example of how we can not allows rely on logic, or another God, to help us find answers. The boy's Father tried to use science to answer all of his questions while the boy's aunt saw things different. Since the boy's Father was so determined that he could calculate the thickness of the ice so his son could go skating. When the ice ends up breaking and the son dies, the father changes his ways and goes to church instead of living his life by science. The whole situation was ironic because the father tried using science to determine a natural state, when realistically no one can completely determine nature.
