When I first saw the trailer of "Hunger Platform", I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent setting. Layers of platforms are filled with food. Every layer of people who are getting hungry is getting hungry. The upper layer and the lower layer are due to the most basic human needs. And the contradiction that arose suddenly. The simile in this world is too obvious, and there are too many places to discuss. The movie didn't waste such a subject matter. It did some exploration. There are only three types of people in the world, one type of high-level people, one type of low-level people, and another type that is falling. But only by choosing to fall can it rise again.
1. Eternal hunger. The contradiction between the rich and the poor is very explicitly expressed in the film as the relationship between the upper and lower levels of food. Because the daily food is one-time and passed down, so the upper level People don't need to be responsible for the people below, they also know that the people above will not be exhausted for their own level. So in this case, if the food that comes to this level can be eaten up, then naturally you don’t have to consider the feelings of the people behind. It’s a kind of good deeds to pee or shit without doing evil, and those feasts The first few layers of people who eat gluttonous meals naturally have even more scruples. However, in a human society where classes are relatively solidified, the rich hold wealth for a long time, while the poor also live relatively stably in the lower strata. The difficulty of this kind of class crosses makes every class of people relatively less urgency. The rich will be willing to help the poor in the name of charity, and the same social moral system ensures that even if the feast is left to the end, there will still be leftovers left over to the bottom. But it’s not in the prison. There is no moral or legal restriction. Even most people were evil people. And the class changes once a month. All these settings will quickly break the relatively stable state of society. The upper-class people are unable to Maintaining this status for a long time makes it less restrained, and the lower class people can naturally get less, plus the limited time supply of meals. As a result, they all showed a state of hunger. Regardless of the first or last floor, as long as there is leftovers on the table, they will hungry and deliver food into their mouths. This is exactly the cruelty of this prison. Place.
2. Peer jealousy is as simple as if the prison is only a relationship between the upper and lower levels. However, there are two people on each level of the prison. The setting is what the purpose of two people is. Naturally, there are different opinions. An old man can explain to a rookie who has just arrived. The plot sparks touched by two people are far more than a single player game. Two people are mirrors of each other to see the ugliness. For myself, of course, I think the most important thing is to make two people jealous of each other, or to leave a ray of life to the lowest-level person. For the people at the bottom, it is basically hopeless to survive a month with almost no food, and such a setting is almost to make the two people turn against each other. Of course, we will not rule out that individual people will uphold noble sentiments, but in that situation, more people will choose the cruel path in order to survive. However, except for the low-level people who quickly starve to death or kill each other quickly, those in the "sufficient" or "food worry-free" class have a different relationship. When there is no danger of survival, contact between two people will sometimes produce resonance sparks, and sometimes it will set off a frenzy of suspicion. When he was on the first floor with the old man named Trimagus, the old man was very interested in the "certificate" that Glenn said. He repeatedly talked about the certificate that he could not get. The thing that did not belong to him but would belong to others undoubtedly made He is not at peace in his heart. Everyone who enters the prison can choose to bring something, which is like a resource when material is scarce, and it is more coveted. After the old man tied up Glenn, he also took possession of his books and wanted to come to another floor. Such encroachment is by no means a minority. Full of warmth and lust, hunger and cold thieves the heart. In prison, everyone is in a state of hunger and about to face hunger. If you are alone, you may only feel sorry for yourself, but with such a partner, a fellow of the same class With the existence of human beings, everything is very different.
3. The self-killing of the ideals and the destruction of the survivors. Glenn's first two inmates, the old man Trimagus and the cancer woman Imoguri, represent two typical existences, the survivor and the idealist. Survivalist sounds very good, but in fact it is for the unscrupulous people to survive. The old man doesn’t mind how sloppy the food left by the upper class is. As long as it can fill his stomach, it’s enough. Unlike Glenn who meets his spiritual needs, the old man comes in too. With a knife that cuts iron like mud, and when faced with a low-level plight, the old man quickly tied Glenn up and planned his own food. It was really old and refined. However, survivors are exactly what prisons want to see people become. When a person loses the bottom line of a civilized society and only strives for survival, then all humanity and morality will gradually become annihilated. Maybe a few years, more than a decade later, these The survivors will degenerate into ordinary beasts, eating when there is food, and killing and eating when there is no food. On the other hand, the ideal home for cancer women is also a very extreme situation. When we talk about the idealist, we usually have contempt, just like when we see this woman, we don’t think her division, vertical self-management, and group unity will have any effect, because everyone is selfish. , And then we discovered that she set a very high moral standard and requirements for herself, she left her own amount, one day for herself, one day for the dog to eat, until she was about to die, she still adhered to it. But there is no doubt that such an idealist cannot survive in this cruel prison. Only when she is at the top can she have a little influence. When the idealist lives at the bottom, any ideal is just an unachievable fantasy.
4. Burgundy snails, panna cotta
When everyone comes in, they can choose a meal. The meal will be placed on the platform and transported down layer by layer. Whether it’s exquisite burgundy snails or panna cotta as dessert, choose these two. The people of the dishes definitely didn't know that they were going to face such a situation at the time, otherwise I believe that everyone would ask for a big piece of cake instead of an exquisite side dish.
However, these dishes are also meaningful. Glenn found that the way the cancer woman persuades the lower class is useless, so he chooses to use the advantage of being an upper class to control the lower class. At the same time, as Glenn and the blacks descended, they also chose to abandon the people in the 50th floor and give food to those who need it more. This is a way of combining ideals with survival. The wise old man took their approach one step further, choosing to distribute food in a more gentle way, choosing to use a sign to show resistance. This sign is a complete dish. It means that despite this environment, we still have our own order. And the dishes that are still exquisite in the prison, it is this prison that left them the last bit of "noble" things. Losing this "nobleness", they will never be able to look back.
5. Angels go to hell
When I saw the child on the 333th floor, I thought of 666 representing the devil. I thought that the last symbol they chose was between the devil's hell and heaven. Then I realized that 666 is not the number of floors, but just a number, 333 floors, two people on each floor, exactly 666 people.
So this child is in hell. They took the pan of milk jelly as a sign to protect them for so long, but the children in this hell were so hungry, so they did not destroy their conscience, gave the milk jelly to the children, and finally made the children the most civilized one that has not yet been wiped out. The sign was sent back. However, let me say that it is not the child who sends this signal, but the downward woman. I have always been puzzled, why almost every time (except when the male lead is on the 6th floor), the male lead can see the woman going down, even the old man who has been through it for a long time said that he knows that this woman is in every cycle. Can go down once. In terms of probability, the probability that this woman will be on top of them every time is actually very small. At the same time, cancer women also said that they did not let anyone under 16 years old in. Then, the answer seems obvious. This down-going woman may be a role deliberately set by the prison. She went down again and again, looking for the daughter in her mouth, perhaps just to tell everyone that there was hope below, but her existence did not have a real meaning. The survivors turned a blind eye to her, and the violent even planned to take it. Woman, but she is like an angel flying from heaven to hell. She points to hell and says there is hope. People shook their heads, no one wanted to walk into the abyss.
6. Reasonable discussion
Finally, I will discuss the rationality and possibility of the operation of this prison. First of all, the platform that rises and falls, the black technology will undoubtedly rise and fall automatically, detecting whether there are people on each floor, detecting whether the upper layer has left uneaten food, etc. We can all regard it as a big setting. In this regard Just accept it. The second is the staying time on each floor. If we assume that there are 333 floors, and even if a certain floor below is dead, the time staying on the top will not become longer. Ignoring the time of platform rise and 0 floor cleaning and serving, each The landing + stay is about 24*60/333=4.32 minutes, which is four and a half minutes. If the landing time is half a minute, each platform can only stay for four minutes, which is very important even for a direct meal. Short of time, not to mention the people below tend to find edible parts in the leftovers. Therefore, the short stay time also contributes to everyone's "hunger" situation. The third is whether the girl can go up. The possibility is still there. We can see that the platform is very fast when it rises, but the platform fell into a space after falling to the lowest level. There should be an acceleration process before returning to the lowest level. It is maintained after a certain high speed, and gradually slows down when it reaches the 0th floor. Therefore, if the initial acceleration is not very high, and the girl can survive the deceleration period, there is still hope to reach the 0th floor. Finally, there is a conjecture about the prison mechanism. Every month, there are 666 people. From the movie, there are basically no living people in the bottom 100 floors. I am afraid that only half of them will survive. Therefore, hundreds of people will die every month. In the next month, there will be new people filling the previously vacant positions. At the same time, can there really be 666 dishes on that platform? I’m a little bit skeptical. After a rough count of one hundred dishes, there are still some, but 666 dishes will inevitably have to be stacked in many layers. The 600 dishes feast that has been said has shrunk several times, and they will be very depressed if they want to come. Bar. But they can’t help them. After all, high-level and low-level are just prison experiments and observations of human nature. You are not really rich, so you can only enjoy a short experience of wealth. After a month, you are still a common citizen, and you still want to stay hungry, stay foolish.
Finally, some people in the comment area mentioned that the girl was illusory, and the last thing that was delivered was still panna cotta, which is also a very reasonable interpretation. You can actively discuss and express your opinions in the comment area.
