"The Beast in Prison": Sometimes life chooses you

Life is a lot of good fortune, and all kinds of accidents that happen constantly are enough to make you have to live.

He just wanted a steady job to support his family and plan for his future baby, even though it wasn't what he wanted. It was so accidental that he was involved in a prison riot; it was such an accident that he embarked on a road of no return. The inside and outside of the prison in the film are actually two worlds. The inside is dirty, messy, and full of sin, while the outside has sunshine, family, and order. What did he experience in such a black and white heaven and hell?

He has always wanted to be a good person, even in the danger of being a prisoner, still sending information to the outside world. But with the departure of his favorite, the inner world has collapsed, the original order no longer exists, and it is better to do something to seek death. He murdered, yes, but it was also for self-protection, and even more to avenge his beloved wife. "aqui murio calzones" (underpants die here), he has decided to give his life to challenge the system and do something for the prisoners.

In fact, it's hard to imagine such a tortuous experience in his day, the will of steel and iron is not enough, not to mention that he is just a man who supports his family. People outside the prison had many chances to save him, and he also had many chances for himself, but it was good luck, and it was tragic. Being a person is difficult, and being in danger is even more difficult. Every move can affect the future development of events. This tragedy is doomed, it can also be said that he chose it, and he has no regrets in the final death.

Quite a good film, the creative and unique plot is exquisite, and the rhythm is tense and suffocating, as if you are immersed in the situation and have to make your own decisions. Sometimes, it's really not what you want to do well, it's life that chooses you, not you choose life.

PS: I saw a point of view that the whole riot is a conspiracy, and his entry is a key point, which means that he is not a good thing, similar to the terrorists of the 911 hijacking. Although this analysis is a bit incredible, it feels very interesting, and the viewpoints provided are also reasonable, which should be the reason for the high IQ.
