the prophet is a story of a french Arab, malik who was imprisoned for six years in jail for a small crime at the age of 19. the story tells how in this six years he became the mafia boss making his way through Corsicans and Muslims crime bosses.
this movie clearly shows how a jail which were established for amelioration of criminals has became the platform for recruiting new criminals.similarly,our anti-hero who involuntarily doomed to the violent world of crime,forced to do murder and certain crimes he would not have done if he was not imprisoned.
at the jail there was no going back and he became pawn of the bosses.slowly,he gambled his fate took every opportunity comes to him.in the course of six years his destiny took him to attain the position of a kingpin.he was used by the disrespectful Corsicans and mistrusted by Muslims.but at last he took revenge from Corsicans and also became respectful among Muslims.in jail he developed his skills, became literate,make friends and with becoming more stronger he became more evil from inside.
this movie shows one of the most realistic depiction of jail life and crime world.their dirty game of politics and power.the scenes of violence seems very real which makes them very violent and unbearable.i have seen many movies made on the same idea and story but none of them was so realistic and veridical.
