Borstal

Borstal starts off low-key, Kris, a young man heading to prison in rural UK. I generally like prison movies, but this one throws me off immediately. We have more of a camp rather than a typical prison… No bars, no barbwire, just ramshackle buildings in the middle of nowhere. Minimum-security, honor system, with supervisors that feel more like drill instructors than prison guards. Kris is a…

SHATTERPROOF SEASON 1, PART 4 DISTORTED PERSONALITY (18) - SHATTERPROOF SEASON 1, PART 4: DISTORTED PERSONALITY (18) (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1393203562-shatterproof-season-1-part-4-distorted-personality?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=RamboFrog&wp_originator=%2FgUgn8QNk6%2B%2B5q1cot7DMhzyh4RczEdSUKsgnQB8u58EjVIJFpMkzsvmdL8zi6diHJ0bYHky3Ko2iVbt4JqP9NvHWQUMP49H3d3xECAQNMhN0Qqz%2FKT67SQcErBtNvDk In a world quick to judge and slow to understand, the protagonist finds himself painted with the same brush as everyone else. Despite his unique qualities and individuality, society's preconceived notions and stereotypes overshadow his identity. This story, 'Painted Alike,' explores the protagonist's journey as he navigates through these challenges, seeking acceptance for who he truly is. It is a poignant reminder of the dangers of generalization and the importance of recognizing individual differences.

‘You have no life, Sam. And neither does your beloved Annie. Or that horrid man you work for, the one who smells of ciggies and is always shouting. Or any of you.’

‘Bullshit! They’re all alive! Of course they’re alive! And as for me, I’m more alive than I’ve ever been!’

‘If you’re all so alive, Sam, then what are you all doing here? This isn’t a place for the living, Sam.’
