In the film---Invincible black comedy

By the end of the film, we all know that Adam (the hero) will face the challenge of continuing his prison life, even with the so-called victory and the respect of the prison officers and, of course, the trust and welcome of his fellow inmates. However, consider the decision he made to give up his future. The trade-off between the two does not seem to be decided by a hot head. What if we were the male protagonists! As far as the movie is concerned, what it wants to represent has been communicated to us well and resonated with me. But as far as I am concerned, I still look forward to a brighter ending, after all, the price of victory is too heavy. Moreover, this comedy has been quite beautified, the prison life is far darker than in the film, and we may only see the sunny side of their prison life. This comedy movie gives us a hint that Adam's future life in prison may not be much worse! Anyway, this is a good movie, you can see how it is good to see it in person! It's just that the unexpected movie didn't show the unexpected turn we expected. Maybe it's too naive. After all, this is a prison, and even comedy has to show reality.
