Sam is not an average normal protagonist. He is a complex young man that has been taken and consumed by the evils of society. Some young people may see themselves in Sam's situation, so this film could have a big effect on them. Sam will not be particularly stereotyped to a group in young people he will be fairly common teenager so in this film can appeal to a broader target audience through personal identity.
Sam's is part of a fairly dysfunctional family. This is the main thing that begins to take its toll and transform Sam from an innocent child to a complex, intellectual man. He soon gets kicked out of college for taking out his anger on another student. This is were the audience begin to sympathise with Sam.
Due to everything that's going on he becomes incredibly stressed at such a young age. He has no one to turn to and finds him enjoying alcohol a bit too much. He soon starts to think of alcohol as his only friend.
The pressures on for Sam from all sides, he doesn't know what to do and is getting worried and uncomfortable in his own skin. His mother and his relationship gets worse and worse, as she is worried about funds and starts to stress out at Sam for wasting all his money all the time. The fights between the two become increasingly worse and soon become physical. The audience may feel sympathy at this point for Sam as we see that he his almost pushed towards alcoholism by the pressures of society. This is where we see that young people need to stay strong and it could even be motivating for young people thinking they do not want to turn out like Sam.
Sam soon goes crazy, becoming intoxicated most hours of everyday. He soon loses sense of what he is doing and goes to far in an argument with his mother. Not knowing what he is doing he kills his mother. Once he sobers up and realises his madness, he kills himself. I think the audience will find this very shocking but I believe that to a young audience this will definately make them think twice about drinking so much.
