I have always liked films like saw, Ambush, The Mist, and The Final Interview, which let a group of people compete for humanity in a specific narrow area. As soon as I saw the name, I knew that this nine-person confinement room might be the type I wanted. After watching the whole film, it is as heart-wrenching as watching other films, and I will always think about who is the last person alive. But due to some spoilers in advance, and secondly based on the reasoning of most similar plot movies, I expected the heroine to win in the end. Overall, this nine-person confinement room is also a good secret room battle film, there are basically not too many loopholes, and the ending is the highlight. But it may be a bit bland compared to other similar genre films. Why does the secret room have water, electricity and rooms like a hotel? Why can people still play music when they are trapped? These nine people seem to have nothing in common or salient points, the characters are not prominent, the killing process is not very exciting and bloody, and it did not arouse my huge inner shock and profound reflection on human nature like watching saw. It turned out that when I watched the film, I always felt that the priest seemed to be a tricky person. Maybe he became the designer of the game like an old chainsaw and participated in it himself, but in the end, I found that he was just a real and restored priest. Policemen, tennis stars, composers, etc. These people are all their original selves. There is nothing tricky, and there are no perverts and split personalities to provoke the killing. The killing started only because of an accident. But I think the possibility of such an accident happening is very small in life. If there is no death of the man's wife, when will the game start? The characters' dialogue is also a bit bland, without the thought-provoking words I imagined that hint at the film's ending. The ending mentor was unexpected and thought-provoking. He seems to be telling us that people will always be in one dilemma after another in their life, and they can't get rid of it. Even if you seem to be the ultimate winner, and you seem to have gotten rid of the predicament, it is just the game clearance and the beginning of the next game upgrade. . . If there is a second part of this film, it must get out of the pattern of the first one and describe a completely different story from the first one. . . .
Finally, I want to say that Westerners always like to express human nature through similar games. In the film, people will suspect, fight, and even kill because of human nature—the desire to survive. So the manipulators behind this kind of game seem to like this kind of game to test human nature. But many films also put love in, such as the love of Bobby and his girlfriend in Chainsaw 7, and the love of a father for his son in the mist. But in the end it is love that kills the loved one. Survival and love? Which one is people's choice? If we choose to love but die, will we still choose to love? I don't know the answer to this question either, and I hope more videos on this topic emerge.
The above are all my personal opinions, and there is absolutely no offensive meaning. They are for reference and entertainment only. Thank you for reading.
