The thriller "The Hunger Platform" directed by Garde Gaztru Urrutia tells the story of a 300-story management mechanism in which the strong eat the weak, in a falling landing ladder that supplies food and a prison that cannot leave. A dystopian story about human nature and metaphors of power. The prison in the movie, different from the traditional prison, is a multi-layered giant pit with a square hollow in the middle. In this bottomless prison, there are no management personnel, no leisure and entertainment, and in a closed space of less than 70 square meters on the first floor, the two people are faced with hunger and slaughter every day. The red light is off and the green light is on is the sign of the arrival of food. Everyone follows the food leftovers on the food table, which is not allowed to leave food without authorization. The food on the food table is the sum menu of one food that all people say before they come in. The people on the next floor can only eat the leftover food of the people on the previous floor. This is the law of survival and eating in the prison pit. "Prison" symbolizes class. The operation of the prison pit depends on food. Everyone is doing their best to feed themselves. In this hunger game facing an existential crisis, the good side of human nature does not exist. The only belief of the individual is to live, and the only hope is to change to a higher floor. In this prison, changing floors for a month is an opportunity to change fate. The upper class can become the lower class without the right to choose overnight, and the lower class can also become the upper class with enough food and drink overnight. Just like the beginning of the movie, accompanied by the elegant music of the violinist and the busy chefs who are as refined as they are preparing a socially elegant banquet, accompanied by a shady voice-over, the narration revealing the theme says a sentence about class that must not be questioned There are three kinds of people in this world, the upper class, the lower class, and the fallen. The 48th floor is the beginning of Glenn. The story of the movie unfolds slowly. Unlike other people who have fallen, Glenn, the male protagonist, took the initiative to jump into this prison that he thought was a utopian world. Filled with snails. There is no explanation in the movie that in this bottomless prison pit, other people came here for some reason. The male protagonist Glenn ideally brought a copy of "Don Quixote" in order to quit smoking, exchanged six months for a certificate that did not exist, and came here voluntarily. Glenn looks like Don Quixote in his book, with slightly curly medium-length hair, a long thin face and a mustache on his lips, and a somewhat pale face, with the politeness and modesty of an intellectual. He also had his first cellmate, Trey Magus, who told Glenn that the 48th floor was a lucky start. Trimagus, who has been here for a year, is an unabashed egoist. he owns There was an enhanced katana sword, and it was a snarky old man. He will sarcastically ask Glenn if you are a Communist Party, and call the people below the lower class with a smirk of class superiority. Accept the helplessness that belongs to the destiny of this world, and choose to point the blade at Glenn with hostility. Getting along with Tremags made Glenn understand the real situation of the prison pit, and finally angrily resisted and killed the "cannibal" Tremags. In the situation of being either eaten or cannibalized, Glenn was also killed. Forced to eat the stinking and nauseating human flesh to become a barbarian. A month later, Glenn woke up again. Glenn was assigned to the 33rd floor. The new cellmate Imogus had a dachshund named Ramses II, who came here voluntarily like Glenn. She knew nothing about the administration that had been working for twenty-five years, and said that it was a two-hundred-story prison, everyone was in this vertical self-management center, the share of food was sufficient, and everything was bad The situation is simply an imbalance of non-compliance with ration meal allocations. After eating only one person's food every day and persuading the lower class to take what they need, Imogus gradually lost his will and really understood the truth of the existence of this prison. She couldn't face her self-righteous accomplice for many years, ignorantly killing many more ignorant people, she chose death and sacrificed her life. Two characters in the movie: The racial metaphors on Baharat and Mihalu refer to the black people who have the strength to resist and the Asian yellow people who are forbearing and persistent. Miharu on the food table goes down through the food table once a month, and increases the chance of meeting his children by killing his cellmates. But the truth is that she is a movie star with no family and children, and she also ideally brought a ukulele to the prison pit in order to enrich her acting skills. Haru, like a messenger, brings a light to Glenn, youth, strength, and kindness are no longer Glenn's strengths, but stubbornness and Don Quixote-esque ideals remain. Glenn, like Don Quixote, wants to break the prescribed mechanism of reality, wants to change the situation, and de-idealizes the human nature that has been swallowed by greed. In the third floor change, Glenn met Baharat, a black man who had the same desire to change the status quo as he was on the sixth floor. He continued to climb up with a rope. He was positive. He believed in God and was optimistic. The firm belief that one day will climb to the 1st floor and thus reach the ground, escape this cage. Change is never spontaneous, and the encounter between the two is the beginning of the resistance. In the violent aesthetic resistance, they came to the bottom with advice to the wise, the signal of wanting the manager, a panna cotta. What's at the bottom? There's what Miharu calls her child, a child who doesn't know how to survive. This indistinguishable child made Glenn's resistance shattered and shattered for the sake of humanity. The movie ended with the upward little girl slowly falling, and an ingenious design was noticed by the audience. The Italian jelly appeared in the middle of the movie, with hair strands in the chef's hands, and the jelly was furious and angry. The delicate clothing in the kitchen is in stark contrast to the misuse of clothing in the prison, where the managers focus on the imperfections of the puff pastry, and all the people in the pit just want to live. In this prison, a distorted communist ideal is forced to be imposed on everyone, the so-called spontaneous unity is realized in this small self-contained society, and there is a common ideal among people—— To live for food, there is no labor time to maintain social production, all members jointly possess all the means of production, and commodities and money have truly died out. In a small, narrow space, there is the demise of the nation, the demise of the race, and the demise of God. However, the so-called distribution of food on demand has not eliminated the needs of all people from top to bottom. Under this management mechanism, a class inequality is constantly being amplified. Everything seems to be just a hunger game, the sin of totalitarian rule and the desperation to resist oppression, so that this supposedly beautiful slaughterhouse transformed into flesh and blood, like Glenn came willingly The same people followed suit. The ugliness behind human nature is magnified. It is an infinite forced self-interest and degeneration. Human nature is no longer good or evil. Everyone lives only for themselves. What's wrong?
