Psychological game The Game script analysis

To be honest, this is not a good movie, but it is a standard Hollywood movie. As far as the script is concerned, it is entirely carved out of the structure of Sidfield's script. The script structure cannot be said to be exquisite, but it is such an exquisite structure that wraps the extremely vulgar Hollywood values. As Hitchell said: "This is just a movie." Don't take it too seriously. Such an ingenious game actually has many loopholes. For example, when the protagonist falls into the water, he must be able to pull out the handle and shake down the window? With such a large balcony, when the protagonist jumps down, he must fall on the small air cushion below? There are many situations in the movie that are not completely controlled by CRS, but this is only a movie after all, and the only person who can completely control it is David Fincher himself.
In the first ten minutes of the script, two things were completed. One is the description of the current situation of the protagonist: divorced and living alone, with the only family and younger brother not often, although he is a billionaire, his birthday is extremely deserted; the company is not operating. Well, it can be said to be a mess in career and life. Then the younger brother gave him a CRS card, which is also the starting point of the whole story. The main characters also appeared in these ten minutes. To complete these within ten minutes, it can be said that the craftsmanship of the screenwriter is quite proficient.
At thirty minutes, the protagonist officially joined the game. This is also plot point 1. Everything required in the entire construction phase has been achieved. It can also be said that the plot layout phase has been completed. The next step is to enter the game. .
At 1 hour and 33 minutes, the protagonist discovered that this was a "scam", a turning point in the whole plot, which happened to be plot point 2, but don't think that this is the case, because the standard Hollywood script will still be in the next time. After finishing a turning point again, people who are familiar with the pattern of Hollywood scripts will think of the ending of the movie here. In the end, a "last-minute rescue" that was unexpected but completely in line with Hollywood rules gave the movie a Hollywood ending.

What's more, what this movie wants to express is almost the same as "Fight Club", but it is more strengthened in the latter.
