Is it "etiquette" that traps them?

What exactly are they stuck in the room for? And why are you stuck in a church? There is no clear answer given in the film.

I'm sure the whole movie will come to light if you get to grips with the metaphor that traps them.

We focus on the behavior of the trapped people:

From being polite at the beginning to being savage and rude; the fear hidden in the heart gradually enlarges, escape, doubt, conflict, deliberate frame-up, hypocrisy, and falsehood. Reality, but is it meaningful for discussion?

I think no. Under extreme conditions, we have to adapt to the reality and change to a more protective mode of behavior. Of course, there will be all kinds of extremely evil behaviors. The so-called etiquette of the upper class is actually the same as the lower class. We have to criticize it. In fact, it is just a prison.

And what is the metaphor for the sheep in the film?

Obviously, they are more like saviors. The sheep flocked in again when people were trapped in churches again.

What about bears?

Chicken feet I find it more ironic that what they hope to save themselves is actually two chicken feet and unreliable rituals.

Speaking of irony, the idea of ​​killing the hero in the end is crazy enough, but isn't the solution to many problems like this, destroy or escape.

It is worth investigating that the reason why they didn't say "I'm tired, everyone will go" seems to be due to "politeness", let's stay for a while and talk again, just like the sophistication of people in China, this time, It feels like a joke from God, "Since you don't want to leave, okay, let's keep you"
