The bloody 18 forbidden cool films are still cool from beginning to end! Many people say that this film alludes to some stories from the election of Hillary and Trump at that time. I don’t know much about politics, so I won’t talk about it. I will mainly talk about some thoughts in the process of watching the film.
1. The evolutionary history of human "hunting"
Baidu Encyclopedia describes hunting like this: In order to obtain food, primitive society humans had to find ways to hunt wild animals. When agriculture and animal husbandry were sufficiently developed to meet human needs, hunting became meaningful in many ways. It can train troops, entertain, and even select talents.
It's so aptly described! What is even more ironic is that the more human civilization develops, the more advanced the prey, from lions and tigers and other beasts, to their own kind, from simple hunting to more and more cruel killing games!
In this era of highly developed civilization, the elites thought of this "advanced" pastime, which is to hunt and kill the people at the bottom in a manor to satisfy their perverted psychology! They can do whatever they want, they can buy a large piece of land as a playground, and they can hire a large number of people to participate in the game.
The ugliness of human nature, the more you understand, the darker it becomes; the equality of human beings, the more balanced the surface is, the more unfair it is in reality!
2. The hunting of elites is for entertainment, while the hunting of civilians is for venting
This game played by elites is for entertainment, for entertainment. The heroine who killed the Quartet is also very enjoyable to "play". She wants to vent, because there is nowhere to release the pressure of daily life!
So, if you want to play with your life, if you push too hard, you have to be careful that you will be counter-killed! Usually forbearance, people who burst out are the most terrifying!
3. Who is this game for?
Judging from the final dialogue, it seems that both parties involved did not voluntarily join the game. Those "pseudo-elites" were forced to join the game because their information was obtained by hackers, which is a "dream come true"! In this way, they are more like a group of actors, the real boss behind the scenes, and someone else.
But it doesn't really matter who it is. Some people think of this game, some people think this game is real, then naturally some people will be interested, some people want to watch it, some people want to pay the bill, then naturally, someone has to do it.
If there is a market, there will be money, and if there is money, someone has to "sacrifice", and someone will make money! This further highlights the inequality of the human class, layer after layer, circle after circle, you have nowhere to run!
