This document discusses how different social groups are represented in a film. It analyzes the representation of three groups: 1) Bad guys who mock and bully others, waiting to hurt the main character. They are self-confident and strong. 2) Victims who are bullied and feel uncomfortable in public, like the protagonist who is frightened and humiliated. 3) Good guys who try to help others and solve their problems, following the law. They are role models, like the protagonist who protects a boy from violence and allows him to escape.
