b story ends too early

A standard commercial film, a story tells about the process of vindication, and b story tells about the conflict between the choice of the way of resistance between the father and son. The b story was already revealed from the beginning, and I didn't realize it until the father and son were locked in the same cell. Then, the son was attracted by the view of violent protests by the Republican Army, but after witnessing the brutality of the leader of the Republican Army in prison, he had a change of mind. At this point, the b story has essentially ended, and the a story continues.

In the scene of burning the prison guards, the film shown on the screen was "The Godfather", and the director secretly revealed the true theme of the film to the audience.

To be honest, the perfect commercial should have the ending point of the b story at the climax of the a story. There's nothing special about the audiovisual.
