I've been discussing involution again recently, it seems that this is a long-term topic
I suddenly remembered this movie
After watching the movie, I also read the manga, and the story reveals a truth at the end
Many excellent works will reveal a certain truth at the end, and the same is true of this work if you have to listen to the words of the gods.
Although this film is bloody and grotesque, it is actually an involution. In the end, only one person can live in the involution. This is how the game of gods begins at the beginning.
The protagonist and passers-by died casually, but they actually worked hard, but under the rules of the gods' game, they died as "reasonable (in line with the rules of the game)" as a matter of course.
Isn't this the involution?
But at the end of the story, what is the most fundamental difference between the one who survives and the others who are those who fail in the game? Why did he finally win?
Both the movie and the comic finally reveal why
It is not wisdom, courage, perseverance, nor any family background, knowledge level, etc.
The final deciding factor is precisely the one factor that allows the protagonist to survive in the story, that is, luck.
What an irony!
