This piece envisages a society in which the moral pyramid has collapsed, the basic moral values are subordinate to the hedonic needs of the ruling class, and the right to live of the people at the bottom is trampled. Like Roman slaves being put into the Colosseum to kill each other, the ruling class in the film also came up with such a game. This is a great story to tell. Choosing to live between the choice between life and love is an ending that everyone can understand but feel ashamed and uncomfortable. I remembered the words of Rivid in "Three-Body Problem 3", "If you lose your humanity, you lose a lot; if you lose your animal nature, you lose everything." The plot of this film is disappointing. There is no tit-for-tat between survival and love. The heroine has never killed a person she deeply loves. In the end, she and the diaosi man are completely happy. Women can really become hungry in such an insecure environment. Now that you don't have to give up the right to love, how cruel is it to die a few people? So the moment I saw the strongest reaction from the audience was when the sponsor announced that the game was going to be changed back to just one person. Many people were ready to be heartbroken for the big trial that was coming. As a result, I really wanted to scold people. If this is a European movie Or in Japanese films, life and death are bound to be at stake. This is the inferiority of Hollywood.
Love and survival could have been the core themes, but this film did not focus on it. The reason why it is a core topic is that it has a philosophical height. See how this film wastes its critique of society and humanity after its core themes are ignored. It is said that the original book describes the social structure of the background. The film does not make it clear why the productivity of these civilians is so low, and who built those big cities without these laborers, and complete isolation is unrealistic. If I were the ruler, I would force these civilians to work hard for 24 hours in the factory, just put miniature bombs in their heads and blow themselves up as soon as they leave the factory, or work in the service industry in the city, high-level people have remote control With the technical support of this era, these management modes are not a problem. I'm actually being serious, and it's not impossible to have to put these things aside. The heroine's mentor reminds me of the rich and idle old man in "Platonic Sex" who loves Iijima very much. He is the kind of silver lining that goes beyond the class barrier, but it's not really hope. If it's not black enough, Not enough Mission Impossible, always feel not enough plump. The mentor bravely rescued them at a critical moment, which did not show the inherent class limitations in him, he should be a little selfish. The high-level people are equivalent to the free people of Rome. The film should show their response to the different stages of the game, that is, the sense of participation, cast a vote or something, show the approval rate, and imitate the talent show. This is how cruel life is like a mustard feel. In fact, the film just kept saying what tricks the sponsor used to toss people, and how the civilians reacted. The high-level crowd, in addition to admiring the courage of the children at the beginning, was moved by the love of the two at the end, but they, as the main audience of the show, were absent throughout the whole process.
The heroine's perspective is also an important vehicle for social criticism, but unfortunately, she passively bears everything. The heroine was thoroughly objectified in front of the media, even if she shot an apple out of anger, it was because she was ignored by the media. She never had the consciousness to rebel against the unjust social order. She survived by her weakness and ease. I quote a lyric from "Top Spinning":
You throw down the props in your hand and
start cursing the game
saying you always want to give up
but can't stop spinning
Of course, this only means that the author can portray her as a revolutionary or a victim. But the director is a little bit on the fence in this regard. The heroine's love has the meaning of redemption of Joan of Arc. When she returns to her hometown, she is a big group garden. The tragic color behind it is deliberately hidden. It can be said that there is not enough room for people to wake up.
And the film's prediction of the fashion of that era is really cult-level, pay tribute to lady gaga first. I'm not talking about the clothes or the decorations being poorly designed, but I think it's too eye-catching and overpowering. The heroine, are you Lin Daiyu? If you die a little friend, your sadness will take up so much of the film, and you have to hold a commemorative event. It is enough to be killed by the enemy 10 times in the middle. That boyfriend who is far away from his hometown has absolutely no need to exist. Is it a foreshadowing of the sequel? I want to see the disintegration of the minor leagues including the Diaosi Men, the kind of group formed by temporary interests, the scene where everyone suddenly stabs the back together is the best, but unfortunately the director completely ignores it. The diaosi man has shown weakness on the outside and ugliness on the inside from the very beginning. He is completely unprincipled and has no position, and dare not be a cannon fodder player who dares not be a cannon fodder. Facing wealth and wealth, he becomes horny, facing mighty power, he gives in, even with small children. The alliance stands together and simply gives up the goddess, which point is worth loving?
Those little friends are destined to be unable to beat the big brothers and sisters. They are weak in terms of strategy and physical fitness. They are destined to be gained by others when they come up, and there is a lot less confrontation. The setting of this game is too unreasonable. Big brothers and big sisters are also completely brainless, strutting around in the glade and talking and laughing ("Three-Body Problem 3" only said that a civilization without hidden genes does not exist. It's all right...). In addition to the heroine shooting an apple to trigger a landmine, and the diaosi man will escape, all of them are very straightforward confrontations, which are far from the battle royale.
If I were the author, a correction would be made to the plot. The heroine doesn't love the diaosi man, but his mentor, as a hidden boss, tries to tell her to deceive the media by pretending to be in love, so as to save one more person. Wang Jiazhi), successfully crossed the sea, and finally reunited with her hometown boyfriend. There is also a non-Hollywood adaptation, that is, the diaosi man finally stabbed the heroine in order to survive, and then broke away from the social class of the 12th District. Because of his excellent and unlimited speech and unique experience, he became the "Hunger game show" Le Jia". There is also a cult adaptation, where the sponsors use realistic virtual technology to not only create living beasts (by the way, this technical detail obviously exceeds the other technologies appearing in the film by n grades), but also can reproduce the dead. Come out, let the hero and heroine fall into infinite killing in confusion, and the time stipulated in the game is also changed to infinite.
