It seems to happen, and it doesn't seem to be - "The Hunger Platform"

It's hard to describe "The Hunger Platform" in one sentence, it's a metaphorical dystopian story. In this film, a fictional management center has 350 floors. Food is delivered from the first floor to the bottom every day. People can only eat their own inmates. Clearly, these metaphors refer to various classes in our society. In the film, everyone will change floors every month. Once those on the lower floor move to the upper floor, they will not only waste food, but also do some insulting things on the food, such as urinating, Spit etc. When the male protagonist said, you will also be replaced next month, the male protagonist's cellmate said, I know. Listen, isn't this the various people in our lives? Those who are in high positions but don't care about how the lower class live and only care about their own enjoyment; those who gain power and intensify their efforts; and those who are smoothed out by society... These can be found in the film. There are all kinds of people in the film, idealists, thugs. The film uses a curious setting to show us a miniature society that puts aside the phenomenon and goes straight to the essence. At the end of the film, the milk jelly was sent back as a signal, but the message it wanted to convey was not conveyed. There is a wall between the upper and lower layers, I can't imagine your happiness, you can't imagine my pain. After watching the movie, I want to say something, but I can't say it, just like the movie, it seems to say something, but it doesn't seem to say anything. There is certainly no prison in the film in reality, but, I dare not say that it did not happen.

    This script is a mess. The scene is a vertical prison pit. Every day, the large stone table with magnetic levitation sends food down layer by layer and then flies back. The vast majority of people on the 333 floors can't get food and can only kill each other and eat meat to wait for a random monthly event. Change floors. The male protagonist voluntarily came to this purgatory on earth to quit smoking? Why can't the oriental woman go down the dinner table every month to find her daughter, but the male lead can? Why don't everyone lie on the dining table and go to the zeroth floor when they fly back? What is the purpose of the main man sending signals to the chefs on the zeroth floor? Is it to let the chefs divide the food according to the lunch box? Regardless of the motives of the managers who all live and die, forcing others to learn to distribute equally? This script is a complete piece of shit, you have to comply with the Basic Law, okay? After talking about socialism, the film began to slide to the gods-in the end, desperately trying to send the little girl to the dinner table to the zero floor, this is the same as the mentally handicapped as the final winner in "Frightened Fang", it is a kind of hysterical Madonna feeling, and the appeal becomes "Only the weak are qualified to survive". Of course, if the story of this survival secret room is bloody enough, you can basically still watch it.

    7.5/10 is indeed Netflix's excellent taste concept. The human experiment under the uneven distribution of resources is similar to Snowpiercer. Various metaphors emerge in an endless stream, and the evil of human nature makes this small society enter an eternal vicious circle. But just having a good idea is not enough.
