Ever since I watched the man-wolf game, whether it’s a Werewolf or Battle Royale, people who want to challenge the rules or make discordant sounds die the fastest. This one is no exception, but it’s a bit special. Under the premise that the rules of the game are clear, there will be no non-voting, and there are no rules in the survival cycle. You can only stop here, after all, the scheming man can't keep him till the end because he wants to work alone.

In the movie, 50 strangers are trapped in a secret location. Everyone steps on a circle under their feet. They cannot go out of the circle or touch others, let alone vote for themselves. The offenders die. No one wants to die. In order to understand the rules, everyone tries and makes mistakes one after another. This is not only a challenge to the mind, eloquence, and reaction, but also a trial of morality and humanity. Every vote is like a confrontation on social issues, and the screenwriter writes quite in-depth.

The young people proposed to vote for the elderly first, so as to buy more time for everyone to sort out their clues. In this way, the old people became vulnerable groups and died one by one. Then there were people with tattoos, who were regarded as unscrupulous youths and became victims. Then came the issue of black race. Fortunately, most people stayed sane and did not follow the trend and cast blindly. In the end they tried a tie again. On the one hand, some people had a ghost, which made the game unfair. On the other hand, if there was a tie, both of them died, bringing everyone back to the original point.

After a third of the movie, people's hearts began to be sinister. Some people wanted to pit pregnant women and children in order to save their lives. Indirectly, volunteers appeared to die. After one or two, they were voluntarily become the trend of the game. Until the issue of belief and same-sex issues surfaced one by one, the rhythmic person was finally out, and the number of places for pregnant women and children to be sent to the final was more determined, and two camps with different thoughts appeared.

I originally thought that the scheming man who protects pregnant women must have a high sentiment, but I didn't expect to turn around and take advantage of the little girl's kindness, which actually killed both the pregnant woman and the child. It seemed that he had calculated it right from the beginning, determined that pregnant women and children were the least threatening, first tried every means to gain trust in dealing with them, and then gave a fatal blow at the right time, such a cruel person. In the same way, in other killing games, the survivors are nothing more than scheming men, pregnant women and children. If there are only these three kinds of people left in the society, it will be a very terrible thing, and it will not be the end. pass. So through this movie, it is more worthy of our reflection, don't be the type of person you want to kill.
