At this point (30 seconds into the film) the audience does not know why the blade is being sharpened. As the scene develops further‚ cross-cutting and

Though my perspective vastly varies from that of sociological theorists‚ I think we can both conclude that this movie is an extreme representation as to what can occur when society shuns away disadvantaged youths to a place that lacks justice as well as ethical and moral responsibilities.
