million dollar game

One million dollars for the life of someone you've never met, and the film gives such a deal as a choice, as if to show how selfish humans are. But look at this family selected in the film, an unemployed disabled person waiting for money for surgery, a smug young scientist who suffered a blow in his career, forced everyone to be like this, and even asked if they wanted a million dollars. Just push a button, and someone will die thousands of miles away, but you don't know it. To know what the concept of a million dollars in 1976 was, let alone such a family. If it was me, I would definitely press it in front of the person, and then take the box with the money straight away. To achieve equality for all living beings, it is God's business. People have feelings, and feelings are separated from relatives and distances. Even if civilization develops to the generation of Martians in the film, it is impossible for human beings to get rid of their selfishness, not entirely for themselves, but also for their close relatives. Besides, if he sacrificed for his own child, can you still call him selfish? A human being who has no selfishness at all is different from a robot. In my opinion, the criticism of the film is very weak and cannot stand at all, so I chose an alien to play God and took the suspense line.
Some of the religious meanings of the film are difficult to understand, such as the section on the library. Perhaps this film is more in line with Westerners' philosophical views.

The Box quotes

  • Martin Teague: Sir? If you don't mind my asking... why a box?

    Arlington Steward: Your home is a box. Your car is a box on wheels. You drive to work in it. You drive home in it. You sit in your home, staring into a box. It erodes your soul, while the box that is your body inevitably withers... then dies. Whereupon it is placed in the ultimate box, to slowly decompose.

    Martin Teague: It's quite depressing, if you think of it that way.

    Arlington Steward: Don't think of it that way... think of it as a temporary state of being.

  • Arlington Steward: I'm sorry, but I have a very busy day.
