This movie doesn’t compare at the end the differences between real society and prison. It should have had a short clip, so others could have understand better. The government influence a lot on constructing violence to humans. I see how the government see us as an objects that have to follow laws. The laws are already put, and who can we request the change of the law? Well, it can be requested, but by a large group of people not only by one person. After watching this movie I understand that when we are not satisfied with some laws, we start constructing violence with act of
