Thread 213830649

Why would one join a prison gang while only serving 16 months?
Was the one black dude getting raped really sufficient to convince Shot Caller to spend his life in prison?
The movie acknowledges how ridiculous this is with the DEA agent's little speech, and then never broaches the topic again.

>>213830649 (OP)
he heard the call and took the shot

>>213830649 (OP)
>changes his name to Ronan DeShaw at the end of the movie
Why did he do it? I don't think it would make a difference at that point, everybody already knew who he was.

>>213830649 (OP)
He didn't mean it. He tried to save the guy in the riot, not realizing he was below a camera. that's what got his sentence extended

Iron up.

>>213832307
He was already smuggling drugs in his ass for the AB well before the riot.

>>213830649 (OP)
He was afraid of the bbc, if he would have just been less homophobic he would have got out in like 8 months.

Every time i check this board since 2017 theres a shotcaller thread, does this movie nobody remembers live rent free in everyones head here or does director Ric Roman Waugh have something to do with all this ?

>>213833446
Make no mistake brother, they build boards like these to break men like us.

>>213833446
>this movie nobody remembers
I remember that you're green-lit, toad.

Who has the meme of wes watson with the file cabinet hooped

whats the play in this situation boys

>>213833446
>he doesn't even know the story of shotcaller anon
>the single greatest example of letting your memes become dreams in board history

>>213830649 (OP)
Because it's the set up for the movie. You have to suspend disbelief a bit. A realistic version would be longer, more boring and less engaging.

>>213833446
Go youtube, especially shorts. This is one of "those" movies that gets talked about endlessly because it ticks all the boxes. Like just about any war film.

>>213833446
I just watched the movie the other day after seeing /tv/ meme it for years.
It's not bad, but the motivations of the protagonist are genuinely inexplicable.

>>213830649 (OP)
Movie plot conveniences combined with the character's mentality. He was just some middle class guy that fucked up and wound up in a prison full of murderers. His general character is smarter than most along with not being the sort to take things lying down.

>>213833769
>middle class guy
He was a hotshot stock broker.

>>213830649 (OP)
Because that makes for a more compelling story that audiences would enjoy viewing. Nobody wants to sit around in real time seeing real boring jail or prison. That's not gonna get audiences.

>You wanna fuck or fight?
How do you respond?

>>213833768
>but the motivations of the protagonist are genuinely inexplicable.
Not sure how you figured this. It tracks with plenty of other movies
>otherwise boring everyman but a bit more clever than most
>finds himself trapped in hostile territory
>adapts and overcomes over his savage new surrounds
It's been done a million times over, although for good reason imo, makes for good stories.

>>213833826
same difference. upstanding guy with a wife and kids thrown in with a bunch of savages.

>>213833446
>movie becomes pushed meme on /tv/
>its actually a great movie which only makes the meming better and more organic
this is why Shotposting has survived.

>>213833858

I haven't gotten a haircut in over 5 months. I'm Money-maxxing my hair now. I have started doing this.

because how else would you cause the shots, retard

>>213833446
>since 2017
I know the movie is from 2017 but I swear these threads only started getting posted within the last 3 years. Before then I can't recall ever noticing Shotcaller get brought up on /tv/ at all.

>>213830649 (OP)
Bottles breaks it down when gives the "warrior" speech. Money joins the gang out of fear but he begins to love the experience of being a gang member the same way he loved being a stock broker or whatever he was in the world. He loses sight of what he was supposed to do (serve his sentence and go home) and it cost him dearly. Everything that happens after he shanks the toad is the consequence of Money's hubris.

call in sick, fake an illness until I get out. Failing that, stab myself in the stomach and wait it out in the medical ward.
or ask if I can WFH

>>213833828
anon, I watched a movie last month about prisoner rehabilitation through horse taming, it had exactly two violent scenes and otherwise was mostly about the protag's emotions and the horse he takes care of.

I just checked and it grossed nearly double what Shotcaller did.

>>213835612
And those movies are nice for women and faggots. Some of us are straight men and don't want to sit around watching that gay, boring, saccharine garbage that makes you get all sentimental.

>>213835693
>Nobody wants to sit around in real time seeing real boring jail or prison

That wasn't the point you were making anon. That's alright though, we all make mistakes.

>>213830649 (OP)
>More like Shit Caller

Reminder that Money’s family is going to be threated regardless of if he cut contact with them or not. He cut contact with them purely because he was retarded/wanted to.

>>213833680
PC up like a vast majority of them do. Get moved to a yard full of cheeto (troons) pedophiles and start dating one because you're now gay for the stay.

I haven't seen this since it came out so I don't remember but do they explain why someone serving a short sentence for a white collar crime is in a prison with murderers and a "join a gang or get shanked" level of prison politics?

>>213836561
Nigga had a few drinks and killed people in a car accident.

>>213836561
2 years for manslaughter in Chino. After he kills another inmate in a riot he's transferred to Corcoran to serve an extra 10.

>>213836826
>>213836916
Oh ok that makes more sense. Thought it was money laundering or some shit

>>213833446
There weren't Shotcaller threads back in 2017, they started maybe around 2019ish, but there definitely was an extended pause around a year ago if I remember correctly, so I'm going to assume it's just one guy making all of these threads

>>213830649 (OP)
basically this movie is really smart

I just watched this entire movie in the form of 5-minute youtube clips. I'm putting in the work, woods.

>>213836561
He was a white collar dude but his crime was DUI manslaughter. His lawyer tells him that the courts consider that a violent offense so he is housed with other violent offenders.

The scene that saved /tv/

>>213833680
Ah jeez dood… I would but it’s just my leeeeegg has been KIIIIIILLLLLLING me lately….

>>213838691
Do we have a problem here?
