It's not scary to be alive, the scary thing is why you are alive

A loophole in the aliens was ignored by the authorities. After being shocked, his body was dragged away. There are two possibilities that the first alien did not want to keep the remains in place to increase people's guilt. This is not necessary. Because what the authorities thought the killing had already begun. Second, these people were just stunned and breathing, but they just didn't want to be discovered by the authorities. But no matter what kind of possibility the authorities think the fallen person is dead. It is enough that the authorities continue to kill each other. The highlight of the show is that there is a person who hasn't voted. I analyze the four hypotheses of his existence. The first one is indeed after several rounds of voting as the pregnant woman and the little girl said, but he is tired. I just wanted to die. I think it’s wrong here. If you’re tired, why don’t you sacrifice it early? Have to wait till the end? If it is to protect pregnant women and little girls. Only left until the end. Then why does he believe the guy in black? He has gone through so many tests, can't he see the guy's tricks? Can you keep the guy till the end? So the first assumption is wrong. The second person who did not vote was deaf and could not speak, so he could not judge the situation and express his will. But the little girl interacted with him in the end, so the second hypothesis excluding the third person really sees through human nature. See through the essence of the game. And I don’t want to vote and express my disgust. Others ignored him. Finally sacrificed for the little girl and pregnant woman. The third hypothesis is possible. The fourth person did participate in many rounds of voting but he would not die no matter what the result was. Still going back to the new round, he was tired of it. I just watched the play on the sidelines and has no feeling for the game anymore. No one will die. So he makes no choice. Because grief is greater than death. His heart is dead. The fourth hypothesis has the greatest probability. This game allows all participants to see the brilliance and darkness of human beings. It is also the aliens who want humans to see themselves clearly. Finally, aliens will take over for humans to create a better world. The same as described in the three-body novel There are some people who are saved by the Trisolarium with the hope of giving up hope for mankind. So I feel this film. It is the aliens who use this game to plant dark and hateful seeds for mankind. Death is not terrible. The terrible thing is why you die. Being alive is not terrible. What's more terrifying is why you are alive.

  • The Atheist: [after an old lady volunteered to sacrifice herself; mockingly to the minister] "You'll see him again. Absolutely."

    [serious tone]

    The Atheist: bullshit.

    The Asian Kid: Yeah, seriously.

    The Translator: He was just trying to give her some peace in her last moments of life. There's nothing wrong with that.

    The Deacon: She sacrificed herself so that others could live. That doesn't go unnoticed.

    The Asian Kid: Says who?

    The Deacon: Says God.

    The Asian Kid: How do you know?

    The Deacon: I'm a minister. God is watching over all of us. He has a plan. We just have to have faith.

    The Lawyer: Amen.

    The Asian Kid: Enough, man.

    The Deacon: I'm sorry?

    The Asian Kid: With all due respect... that's just bullshit.

    The Atheist: Standing around there talking about faith when people are being blasted to shit left and right. Thats fucking ridiculous.

    The Husband: Hey, man...

    The Atheist: If there is God, he doesn't give a shit about any of us!

    Wife: That's not true.

    The Atheist: Oh, my god, we're all dying in here. This shit's not gonna end until this motherfucker gets all of us, okay? So you wanna have faith in something? Have faith in this!

    [pointing to the orb]

    The Atheist: okay? Because that's God in here now, right? Thats God, right now, in here. So pray to him or ask him, even better. I mean, what does thou sayeth, God? Who among us will get to go to your divine kingdom?

    The Husband: Hey, take it easy.

    The Atheist: Or what? Your gonna fucking kill me 'cause I have an opinion? Just as valid as yours, man. Looking around this room, actually, I think I might have some friends. I think people agree with me.

    The Husband: 95% of people believe in God. You're in the minority.

    The Atheist: Yeah, well, 95% of people are idiots.

    The Husband: [offended] are you calling us idiots?

    The Atheist: [getting extremely nervous when he sees everybody's voting] I'm not calling anybody idiots, all right? All I'm saying is this. If there is a God, is this something... Does this seem like he would allow this? Is this something he would do?

    [He ties with the young girl]

    The Atheist: You fuckers are going to kill me because you're afraid I'm right? What are you doing? You're fucking cowards huh?

    The Young Girl: [terrified] Wait, please. I didn't even say anything wrong. He did.

    The Atheist: [angry] who the fuck is this?

    [the young girl gets voted offscreen]

  • The One-Armed Man: [after the atheist is spared] Looks like God just cut you a break.

    The One-Armed Man: Yeah, for another two fucking minutes.

    The Atheist: Guys, i know this girl. Don't I know you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know you from somewhere.

    Pretty Girl: Me?

    The Atheist: Yeah. Are you an actress? You're so familiar.

    Pretty Girl: No, I'm not an actress.

    The Atheist: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stacy something.

    Pretty Girl: No, Christina.

    The Atheist: Christina... Christina?

    Pretty Girl: Yeah.

    The Atheist: Wait a minute. Is Stacy your stage name, then?

    Pretty Girl: No, I told you, I'm not an actress.

    The Atheist: That's right. Guys, actress, porn star. I get it now. It's a huge difference.

    Pretty Girl: What? I'm not a porn star.

    The Atheist: Hey, I don't think anybody cares around... around here, you know? I mean, I just couldn't figure it out before. Now I know.

    Pretty Girl: What?

    The Atheist: [exhales] I'm a huge fan.

    Pretty Girl: What the fuck are you doing? I don't do porn.

    The Atheist: I don't think it's a problem. Everybody's gotta make a living. I don't have a problem with it.

    Pretty Girl: I don't do porn.

    The Atheist: All right, whatever. I'm just trying to pay her a compliment.

    Pretty Girl: He's lying.

    The Atheist: I gotta be honest with you, you know, I mean, I did like you better, though, before your enhancements, because now it's just like, "Wha-bam! Look at these bad boys."

    Pretty Girl: He's lying.

    The Atheist: Are they real?

    Pretty Girl: That is none of your fucking business.

    The Atheist: Are you saying they're real?

    Pretty Girl: So what? Half the girls in LA have big boobs.

    The Atheist: Yeah, and I'm sure it's great for business.

    Pretty Girl: I don't do porn!

    The Atheist: Who paid for them? Tell them, go ahead. It's okay, sweetheart. Who paid for them? Was it your employer?

    Pretty Girl: No.

    The Atheist: No?

    Pretty Girl: I mean he did. But it's not like that.

    The Atheist: He did. Now it's getting really difficult to decide.

    Pretty Girl: No, David is my boss, but we're also... I am not...

    The Atheist: Uh-huh. You see, Stacy over here thought if he gets those double D's, oh David's gonna love her. I mean, he's going to love her way more than his own wife and kids. I mean, who cares if they're already a family. It's never stopped you before, has it? What, are you going to run off with him? You gonna have a bunch of kids on your own? Settle down by the beach? Is that what you're gonna do, Stacy?
