I was arguing whether or not REPETENCE of the main character makes it a “moral film”

You don't know the context, nor the story, so you cannot argue a case about this particular film. Go and check up on it before making judgments.

I guess that depends on what defines a "moral film."

I suppose you could have a film that depicts a wholly moral person from birth to death. Would that be Forrest Gump? Chance the Gardner?

I suppose you could have a film that depicts morality by contrasting it with immorality by showing the conversion from one to the other. That is Les Mis.

Or you could have a "moral of the story" film that shows a totally immoral person who gets what he deserves in the end. Jimmy Cagney in The Public Enemy?
