Celda 211

Good Night!

Yesterday, my friend Gaspar and I went to the cinema. We went to see a Spanish film, Celda 211. I provide you a summary: Juan, a prisons staff member, turns up in his new work place one day before to start working there. Inside he have an accident minutes before that start a mutiny in the FIES sector, the most afraid and dangerous prisoners. His companions, being afraid, leaf injured Juan in the cell 211. When he wakes up, he understands the situation and he performs like a prisoner. Then, he has to pass many complicated situations...

In this film I saw a big criticism of prison system. We can see the corruption between the staff members and the prisoners. In the prisons there are, in an easy way, drugs, weapons, etc. These things are provided by the corrupt members.
Furthermore we can see the bad conditions in that the prisoners live; the violence of staff members towards the prisoners, and a lot of things that make the prisons a place where the bad actions d'ont stop.
This situation needs a change because the prisons are a reintegration place.

Apart from this, the film won eight Goya awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Luis Tosar) and Best Adapted Screenplay.
