Squid Game Commentary

"Squid Game" tells the story of a group of people who are frustrated in life and suddenly receive a mysterious invitation to participate in a suspicious simulated survival game. The winner will receive a reward of 45.6 billion won. The location of this survival game is unknown and the participants will be locked up in the game location until a winner is chosen.

I believe most people will be tempted by such a game, but elimination in the game is also elimination in life, because this is a life-threatening game. And these 456 contestants all have one thing in common, they are frustrated in life. The contestants must complete 6 games to get the final prize. But at the beginning of the first game, these contestants who fantasized about pie in the sky woke up. come over. ?

The first game is "One Two Three Wooden Man", but the difference is that the person caught will die. When a group of people discovered that someone would die, they began to panic. When the bullets were fired, the people who had not moved began to get scared and ran around. However, the bullets did not sympathize with these people because the game had already begun.

At the end of the first game, 255 people were eliminated, and the total prize money became 25.5 billion won. But the contestants at this time were in a panic, because this was not just giving money to play a game, it was risking their lives!

So some people prayed to withdraw from the game. Unexpectedly, although they could not abandon the game, if more than half of the people objected to continuing the game, the game could be stopped, but the prize money would be lost. The fear of death still scared most people, and the game was eventually stopped. ?

But these people are frustrated in life. Many of them are burdened with huge debts and have to return to reality. Although they can live, for some people, living like this is even more painful. And this is a game that tests human nature. As long as more than half of the people choose to continue playing, the game will continue. ?

Most of the contestants who passed the first level came back to continue the competition, and this human game really began. The second level is sugar cake digging, the third level is tug-of-war, the fourth level is marble rolling, the fifth level is crossing the glass bridge, and the sixth level is the squid game.

The fourth level is the most testing of human nature. The teammates chosen by the ball have become opponents. It can be said that they are killing each other with their most trusted teammates. In this game, there are those who deceive teammates and win by cheating marbles, there are also brothers who turn against each other and kill each other, and there are even husbands who "eliminate" their wives, but there are also those who give up voluntarily and give the chance of survival to others.

In the final squid game, there was only a two-person final, which was a duel between the two smaller players. The male protagonist became the "Madonna" and actually chose to terminate the game when the outcome was determined. But in the end the second male actor chose to give up and commit suicide. The male protagonist who won the competition was depressed and unhappy, but the 45.6 billion won was almost untouched and kept in his card...
