"Be a charming rotten person." - This sentence is given to the male protagonist, and it is not worth the black sister's lawyer to force him to hide drugs.
I don't know much about the US judicial system, nor about the US laws on drugs. I just recorded my own experience watching the movie, and try not to spoil it.
The plot grinds and chirps, and after the first episode, only to find the second episode, and the last episode is very protracted. The OS in my heart when watching the drama is that since I have entered the pit, I have to kneel and finish my knees. But this way, I paid more attention to some details. It later proved that deleting every detail would be reckless and abrupt.
What attracts me most in the play is the "transformation" of the male protagonist, from a novice to a qualified "prisoner". Ironic enough, ridiculous enough, and therefore charming enough. A cowardly and ordinary person goes to prison. After a period of time, he becomes bad, dragged, tattooed, drugged, hidden, rent-seeking, gangster, and arrogant.
Maybe such a man is cute and charming?
Drugs taken out of a middle-aged woman's pussy, stuffed into her mouth, and then pulled out of her asshole. Calling the black girl in the middle of the night is because the sperm has nowhere to vent. Seduce the black girl to deliver drugs to herself, pull it out of the black girl's pussy, and stuff it into her asshole. etc. All of this was accomplished in a short time in prison.
The boss in the prison gave the male protagonist a pair of shoes. When he took a bath, he was completely naked, except for the pair of black sneakers. There is a disgusting scene in the play, an accomplice who transports drugs with the male protagonist and the boss is giving a black person oral sex at night. The male protagonist had no intention to catch a glimpse of this scene, and was probably fortunate in his heart, which seemed to confirm that it was morally incorrect for the male protagonist to take refuge with the boss, but it was absolutely correct procedurally.
Later, the man who gave the man oral sex ended up killing himself. This blowjob black guy got his throat slit by the boss. It seems that the old man is not bad.
But then everyone in the show seems alienated. But my understanding is that this is the real person.
The recurring book "Call of the Wild" in the play, as well as the "sin" and "bad guy" tattoos on the male protagonist's hands, as well as the gradual drug addiction, are all telling that people are still animals in the end.
The male protagonist's mother: "have I raised an animal?", which is quite to my liking.
What's up with animals, animals are also very charming, but few people will admit that this is the real self. Only in the extreme "animal world" of the prison can we return to the nature of animals.
Tattoos, drugs, sex, speculation, gangs, whatever. Even so, it cannot deprive the male protagonist of his rights protected by the Constitution. In the end, when the jury could not reach a consensus, the male protagonist returned home. Life has changed because of this trial, and yet it doesn't seem to have changed. At home, there is only silence, waiting to heal slowly.
Maybe after the male protagonist returns to society, he will continue to take drugs, engage in one-night stands, fight, and lie. But so what, working hard for one's own survival is the highest morality.
Because of this, the male protagonist has become a charming rotten person.
To paraphrase a quote from the book to end it: "The moral nature is a useless thing or a hindrance in the hard struggle for survival."
