A miniature of modern human society

A typical mental game movie.

Under a setting where there is no extra time to ask why, someone must die every short period of time until the last person survives.

So it doesn't make sense to set the background or ask the principle for the movie. The film mainly expresses that in front of the god of death, everyone has their own reasons and motivations to live. And this is in a non-specific group, this fair and unfair game entertains the goodness and ugliness in people's hearts.

Every face and soul is continuously magnified in an instant. The various forms of society insinuate almost all of them in the movie. Probably the only person who does not face it directly is the ruler. And this invisible character is the aliens. Those aliens are the rulers who are invisibly mapped. Because they set the rules, no matter how the ruled interprets them, they are bound to be affected by this rule. The beauty of the movie lies in the fact that they are aware of the absurdity of this rule, but there is no way to escape it, and they can only try to protect themselves. Although some people tried to interpret the reasons and solutions of these rules in the early stage, under the gaze of death, all efforts were made to live a little longer.

This clever setting makes all kinds of contradictions in society, including age discrimination, racial discrimination, religious discrimination, gender discrimination, and cultural discrimination under different social strata and different educations all prominent. Among them, there is no shortage of highlights. In a short period of time, these discriminations have become life-saving or fatal means, and in the later stages of the game, the real psychological warfare begins.

Honest, intimidating, weak, deceiving, and various character forms make them witty or stupid. Or an old man can take the spear of his own seniors away, but his bloated thoughts make him a hateful person in the end; or a couple who show their affection won everyone’s pitifulness, but they are also cunning by another. 'S eyes see through the truth...

The one who lives to the end is not necessarily the most sympathetic, but the one who knows the most tricks. This potential meaning is actually a human selection game. We accept any form of people, we do not discriminate, but we need a group of elites, this elite can be cunning, can be articulate, can be male or female, but must not be calculated or hurt. He/she must have enough patience and courage, quick thinking and excellent eloquence to become a survivor in a society where everyone is one's own.

So the process of watching this film is not necessarily cool, because some people who you think should have disappeared earlier can get into the finals, and some poor people have been wronged and eliminated.

A closed group, join a rule that cannot be changed or understood, and you will get a microcosm of society.
