...dichotomy between prisoners' personalities and their backgrounds merely underscores the fact that these men need not have become criminals, tutors say. "It's good for people to see that prisoners are normal people," Freed says.

"He's not a sympathetic character," says Screenwriter Mark Peploe, who is Bertolucci's brother-in- law. "I resisted even trying to understand him when I wrote the script." But any alert viewer can understand...
