Character Analysis: Before We Were Free

Throughout history, we have seen many people thinking they can take over on their own, and rule and conquer the world. We have seen it in people, leaders, and much more. You have guys like Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Stalin, Paul Castellano, John Gotti with many more. They tried to manipulate and conquer but failed because they haven't realized that to rule you need someone else, like Jordan and Pippen, Brady has Belichick and Jay Z had Beyonce.

This is why Anita is very motivating and a good character to watch, we watch her grow emotionally, physically, and mentally. This is why we love to see Anita, gain her freedom and the hell of El Jefe ends. If you want change, you must go out and get it, you can't expect change to come if you are not working.
