To avenge the murder of his wife, Kyle (Jean-claude van damme) killed the murderer who bought the judge and was found not guilty in court. Kyle was sentenced to life imprisonment after the incident and detained in Russia's "Korawawi" prison. This is an extremely corrupt prison. The warden not only tried to find money from the prisoners, but also organized the criminals to participate in fighting games for fun and gambling. Kyle was repeatedly imprisoned for resisting the warden's evil deeds. Facing the cruel reality, in order to survive, Kyle finally participated in this game, becoming the fighting king in the prison and a tool for the prison ruler to seek profit. The death of cellmate Billy (Chris Moir played by Chris Moir) wakes up Kyle, who has lost himself.
With the help of his roommate "Barbarians", they begin a revenge plan... in this film Why are the dominant prisoners being bullied by a small number of prison guards? Because the prison guards are organized and they are unified. This involves an important concept of organization, the purpose of organization? Organization is a tool for the minority to rule the majority. The original purpose of the organization is to gain authority and control over the group. But the prisoners do not lack organization, why are they still being bullied by the prison guards? Because they are not united and they fight with each other, the prisoners’ organization weakens the prisoners’ overall strength. The prisoners were in a miserable state. They were forced to kill each other, including of course the long, good-looking male prisoners who were forced to be prostitutes. Their dignity and lives are not guaranteed. Is it always going to be like this? My view is negative, because they have a common hope, the pursuit of a good life, the care and dignity between people...so why are the prisoners still alive? Because they have a kind of hope, groups among prisoners are also born out of this kind of hope. They want care, they want safety, so they form different organizations. It's just that this kind of organization can't give them what they want, so their desire (the physiological response of hope) is even stronger.
How do prisoners gain the courage and strength to resist the guards? Because of the power (inspiration) of an example, because of the shock of a soul, and another choice brought to them by a strong man who followed them with a common life experience---refusal to cooperate with prison guards, which is in line with human history Are there any similarities in some of the clips? The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising is the best example. It first awakened-"Is there any kind of prince will Xiangning?" Then they gave them another option-"Rise on the pole", and it was so.
And why did the resistance succeed? The resistance of the prisoners was to unite and refuse to cooperate with the prison guards, but this could not fundamentally crush the prison guards’ rule. When Kyle was finally forced to fight the barbarians, he used a common method of communication to let the barbarians Recognizing that he was his friend, he helped him fight against the prison guards by force. With the help of the barbarians, the prisoners' resistance finally had the strength to crush the prison guard's rule. But strength is not enough, what else is needed at this time? Throughout human history, in addition to the enlightened masses (groups) and the able military commanders, what else is needed for a successful uprising? Wise man. Kyle finally escaped from the prison with the help of his roommate, a silent, clever black man, and destroyed the prison in one fell swoop using the prison criminal record that the black man had taken for 20 years.
so, this film is not only an action film, but also a thinking film about organization. You can also think about the following topics: 1. If you are the chief of the prison, how do you strengthen the control of the prison? If you are Kyle, what other way do you have to make a successful resistance? If you were to control a prison without considering external factors, and you were to use prisoners to conduct social experiments, what purpose would you experiment with?
