Good works require huge capital investment and huge market bearing. Chinese film and television creators may not need it now, but Netflix is an indispensable platform for Japanese and Korean creators. Against the background of the global success of "Squid Game", Japan's "Alice in the Dying Kingdom" actually touched the theme of the battle royale last year, and it also received a good reputation. Thanks to Netflix, it's been a long time since I saw such a well-conceived and well-made Japanese drama. Unlike the original script of "Squid", "Alice" is a manga adaptation. The fantastic imagination and careful reasoning that come from the Japanese comics make the escape game design in this book much more sophisticated and complex. Where is the wooden man, comparable to children's things like digging sugar cookies. The production level is also significantly higher than that of existing Japanese dramas. The cinematic long-shot scheduling, fast-paced editing, and oriental fighting scenes that resemble "Kill Bill" are very pleasing to the eye. In the end, the worldview of season 1 remains a mystery. Who and what force created a parallel universe of Tokyo Battlegrounds? It is still unknown. Will it be revealed in the second season? Maybe it's best to keep this ambiguous. The unknown is a powerful driving force, just like life. In short, Japan's escape is based on logic and strategy. While suffering from the unknown, even in a collective, it is inevitable to confront its own destiny alone. On the one hand, it has higher requirements on the viewer in terms of logic; on the other hand, the inking on the relationship between the characters is not as strong as that of "Squid", and the emotional resonance is not as strong as the latter. With this feeling, Koreans care more about people and social classes and groups. The Japanese are more concerned with the relationship between man and self. All are excellent expressions. In terms of sophistication, cruelty, and worldview, Eastern escape works are really no less than a hundred times stronger than those of Western "Hunger Games".
