The unexpected reality of the ending, the heroic halo was not installed on the protagonist, the riot was finally quelled, and no one knew what happened.
The prison boss in the movie seems to be a bit lacking in IQ. In my opinion, the protagonist has been exposed many times. Every time he talks to the police outside on the walkie-talkie, I don’t know if it’s a translation problem. The dialogue is always full of doubts. People have never suspected him. In fact, Scar is not a very smart person. Or, the "prison boss" image it shows is more like an ordinary person. It is far from the image of the prison elder brother in many film and television dramas. I don't think it means that the protagonist is a prison guard-the representative of the government's image. Scar is obviously not as smart as Hu An. It is his education level and his talent. It was decided that he was not a hero of a generation, he was not particularly smart and did not read, he did not know how to negotiate, and he had no plans. He easily trusted a stranger of unknown origin, and finally lost to his younger brother. The gap between Scar and Juan is the gap in "quality", and the gap between them also reflects the gap between many "bottom" criminals and the "elite" of the government. It can be said that to fight the government only by violence is a It's useless.
Although Scar lacks IQ, it is a rare sense of loyalty. In his short time in prison, the warmth that Juan has rarely experienced is given by Scar. He comforts him like a big brother, like a true friend. Tell him that he can put all the blame on him... In contrast, outside the prison, Juan's "peer" seems more indifferent.
What this movie is trying to tell us depends on how you look at it. You think he reveals human nature, I think he hints at some inevitability of class struggle, and many, many more. I always feel that my judgment without understanding the political and historical background of their country is not very accurate, and I should understand it.
