God's perspective

First of all, this work is really cool.

About ten minutes into the opening, the heroine in the subjective sense was shot in the head; in the hunt mixed with black humor, one by one contestants were hunted and killed one after another without any suspense, and the part about the grenade was really cruel. But this work still does not avoid one problem: the perspective of God.

From the plot introduction to the chat record on the plane, it clearly and clearly told the audience that this is a hunt of the upper class against the lower class. This directly leads the audience to start watching from the perspective of the "upper class" in the film at the very beginning. Since then, the various reversals experienced by the heroine in the middle of the film are very boring.

Because it was the manor they arrived by plane, the location must be some distance from the place where they were kidnapped. The convenience store duo was lying; one of the refugees on the train was very prominent, even abnormal, would he? It's undercover; in the endless wilderness, a group of troops suddenly appears, which is quite abrupt, and does not create the atmosphere of the army at all, so this must be a trap.

The above scenes are all places that can be reversed in the film, but they are basically guessed. I think the biggest reason is not just from God's perspective, but also because the whole scene looks and feels like it was shot in a big park. All the actions of the protagonist are carried out in this park, and everyone in it is like role-playing, and it is seen through at once. And because we have the perspective of God, we are basically not surprised by these reversals, which directly lead to a decline in the viewing experience.

In the process of watching the movie, I had a question: this is their own manor, why not install surveillance cameras in the manor so that they can observe the every move of the inferiors at any time? If they do, the heroine won't have any chance of fighting back.

Looking back, I can only understand that they are very confident in their own strength and want to experience the fun of hunting. But this is contrary to what they said, "it's better to make progress while maintaining stability for the first time." Maybe it's a point that I haven't figured out yet.
