Aliens play God and conduct a doomsday trial on mankind, and the judge is man himself.
When you feel that he/she shouldn’t be voted according to universal moral standards, why he/she is so hateful and has not been cast to death, the ruthless game rules let everyone in and outside the movie know, those "who deserves to live?" "The reason is all nonsense. It is true that everyone is equal before death.
In the end, the man who lurked the deepest and most ruthless will surely make all the audience surprised and angry to survive, but this is the real world-the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. "What the world is like" and "what the world should be like" are originally a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile.
But children and pregnant women, especially children, are still the majority—just the majority. This is the kindly comfort and hope of the director/screenwriter. Perhaps after exposing human nature so intensively, the director himself needs to seek some comfort. But you can only see the situation in one secret room, what about the situation in the other secret rooms?
Are these children and pregnant women really survived by the "goodwill" of other people as you think? God knows.
There is a character who said anxiously in the middle of the movie: "Look what we're doing! We are not playing a game! We are judging people!!" Isn't it the same for the people who watch the movie, subconsciously bring them into themselves, and start involuntarily Judging each character in the film, he silently voted for this one, and then voted for that—the crowd onlookers who don’t have to bear the consequences of voting are still the case, not to mention the 50 people in the film who are afraid of being scared and only wanting to save their lives have to do it once under high pressure. Make a choice at the time.
The director's psychological experiment is extremely scary.
[Why is the Netflix rating so low? I always thought it was a bad movie and almost missed it. 】
