Live Poll: Karma - Heaven or Hell?
Intro:
There is an Indian religious concept called "The principle of karma", many of you might have heard of before. It says that the intentions and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. It's not a matter of human revenge, karma takes care of it. It's a kind of higher - some would say - divine justice.
Which of these movies that contain strong moments of karma is your favorite? (To be fair, there are spoiler bars on all options.)
Tell us here.
Suggestions:
Movies best rated 7/10 or higher, no simple crime only stories, horror movies, documentations or sport movies. No TV-series. It best should be a drama. Animated allowed, if they match the former mentioned criteria. Please don't bore me with simple human-to-human revenge movies.

In "The Bad Seed", (spoilers ahead)....
... the girl dies, struck by a bolt of lightning while she was trying to retrieve some incriminating evidence, if that's not karma I don't know what it is. it's also a rather weak conclusion for a film that started well.
I guess the bolt of lightning can also apply to the Queen in "Snow White"
Sometimes I wonder if Karma isn't just wishful thinking, we are so powerless facing the evil that we wish some higher instances would take care of it... but how many people commit atrocious crimes and get away with it? As for the fact that some get their comeuppance at some point of their lives, I only see it as the likeliness to commit a fatal mistake after having pushed your luck for too long.

For inspiration, there's also the name poetic justice.
In Triangle of Sadness, one example could be the old couple who own a weapons factory, and ...
(spoiler)
... they are killed by an attack with a one of their own grenades.
