It turns out that the multi-layered dream nesting has been played by Cronenberg in the last century, including the time difference. The couples can clearly distinguish the real and the illusory, but the others seem to be really numb. The so-called game addiction kills people, literally. Umbilical cords, chrysanthemum-like objects, scenes from churches, Chinese restaurants, teeth and other images symbolize and ridicule many things. The director's always heavy taste, sticky, dirty, with a sense of doomsday. Jude Law was young at that time. 8.5/10.

Cronenberg is one of the most controversial directors in the world, at least I personally admire his work. Under normal circumstances, a movie fan with independent thinking ability will always fall into a situation of confusion and conclusion after watching Cronenberg's works. This work is personally considered one of Cronenberg's representative works and is very worth watching. Just a reminder, this movie was shot in 1999, so don't judge it too much with current values

Ted: [points gun at Allegra's head] Death to the demoness, Allegra Geller.
Allegra: That's not funny.
Ted: Sorry.
[lowers the gun]
Ted: But you know, I do feel the urge to kill someone here.
Allegra: Who?
Ted: I need to kill our waiter.
Allegra: Oh. Well that makes sense. Um, waiter! Waiter!
[she calls over waiter]
Allegra: When he comes over, do it. Don't hesitate.
Ted: But... everything in the game is so realistic, I-I don't think I really could.
Allegra: You won't be able to stop yourself. You might as well enjoy it.
Ted: Free will... is obviously not a big factor in this little world of ours.
Allegra: It's like real life. There's just enough to make it interesting.
Ted: [looking at approaching waiter] He's too nice! I won't do it.
Chinese Waiter: What can I do to make your lunch more pleasant?
Ted: I found this in my soup.
[holds up gun]
Ted: And I'm very upset.
[shoots waiter]
