Significance of Stage

The stage area at police headquarters is where the TV interviews take place over the few days that Luke is there. The stage is the focal point of the room at first, but it loses its excitement after a few days of people telling their stories to the crowd. The stage becomes a focal point again when Luke jumps on it with his horse to tell his own story, which eventually leads the downfall of Oscar and his people, and the formation of the people's government.
