Misleading ending of the movie.
We must understand that just as the "Lights" obey the Laws, the "Darks" must obey the Laws too. Laws help us to evolute and to move forward.In the film "R (2010)", being loyal to his "godfathers", Rune invents a profitable business scheme, beneficial to many. At a certain moment, a third party set him up, and he became a debtor.
No one from the mature prisoners-"godfathers" gives him an idea of how to deal with the situation. Instead, losing their money without any chance for return, they spend additional resources such as energy, time and risk to murder this guy.
The death of the protagonist is the most absurd idea of the film, which is rare to find!
We have to understand that although "Darks" are harsh, they are not stupid and they take their benefits much more seriously than "Lights". Eliminating a valuable resource as Rune is the same for them as to chop the branch on which they sit. After all, he is of all trades, and who instead of him would do all dirty job?
Another weird thing is that the greedy third party is correctional officers.
They not only put on risk a human life for the little fat but they also ready to jeopardize their careers and stable earnings.
After all, they are a hired labour force and must inform the higher authorities about every severe case of violence. In their turn, their bosses must report each death to the higher authorities and so on.
Also dooming one of the best prisoners to death would be destructive for the prison's discipline and structure. Again, those matters are tightly controlled from the higher instances.
In conclusion.
Each film supposed to teach us something, but which lesson could be learned from this misleading movie?
I'd like to recommend to this story's creators to take a more demanding approach for their projects for the benefit of viewers and themselves.
The plot would be much stronger if instead of murder the "godfathers" implements a punishment for Rune where they would benefit from.
For example, they would force him to pay the interest rate on the debt and therefore make a slave from him. Slavery is one of the "features" of Dark; therefore, it's natural for "godfathers". Rune, in turn, would have invented a way to outwit them.
