Personally, I feel that many Japanese dramas in recent years tend to describe daily life and elaborate on some small emotions and small emotions that we may miss and ignore. And Netflix's brain hole drama has a bit of the feeling of "Battle Royale" back then, making people unable to stop watching all eight episodes in one breath.
At first glance, I felt a little disappointed. The first half is particularly attractive, the dead man, and two friends, one violent and the other technical, I'm still wondering if I'll think of an iron triangle like "Attack on Titan", and then the A selfish girl from a decoding company that could master the unraveling of this no-man's land. Watching them play different types of games, the stake is their own lives, and the choice between life and death can especially test human nature.
Let’s talk about this type of game first. Different poker suits represent different game types: clubs rely on teamwork to win, diamonds rely on intelligence, spades rely on physical strength, and hearts are the most difficult, relying on playing with people’s hearts and betraying partners. win. The numbers represent the difficulty, and the bigger the number, the harder it is to pass.
So in the third episode, when the four of them were ready to face various challenges together, facing the collapse of the wolf-catching game of Hearts 7, from chasing each other to avoiding each other to achieve the male protagonist, it was definitely the highlight of the show. It bears witness to the greatness of friendship, but also has a strong sense of powerlessness. And the male protagonist who cheered up from this despair and got out of the predicament, I saw his growth and strength.
It's a pity that when I got to the second half of the seaside headquarters, I was disappointed. Whether it was the escapism of the people there or the pretense of the cadres, and the difficulty of the game sessions plummeted, such as the one who guessed the light bulb, at least 15 years ago. , I remember that the teacher tested me back then. And the witch at the end, can you investigate the case well? It is not like a good organization to have to kill people like this. In the end, the spiritual leader will become a mob as soon as he dies. I thought from the beginning that it was the girl who committed suicide, but the designer also thought that the martial arts faction would kill people indiscriminately. What is the purpose of this? Just to kill everyone? Just use the laser directly. Designing such complex games, through constant tests, whether it is physical intelligence or cooperative betrayal, what do you want to do in the end? The suspense remained.
In the second episode, I noticed a loophole. If there is a killer, it means that there are staff to design, arrange and maintain these game venues. Whether it is a destroyed building or a dead person, who will clean it up? These are the differences between reality and virtuality. Of course, I understand from the title of the play that the Land of Dying is a wandering environment between life and death, and the famous Alice who strayed into Wonderland is here. The people who come here to accept the test may be that in reality, everyone has encountered a major disaster, such as an earthquake or tsunami. efforts to survive.
In the first season, the Hatter uses his own charm and uses a beautiful lie: collecting playing cards can return to the original world. The success gave everyone a hope to move forward, and he was also transformed into a spiritual leader, but this identity drove the hatter himself crazy as the playing cards were gradually collected, and finally everyone on the beach was destroyed in this civil strife.
I hope the new season can continue to subvert my cognition, instead of fighting in the den of human habits like the second half of the game. Also, don't use that distorted tattooed man for inexplicable sublimation, what he said "There is no place in this world, life can be guaranteed... After the arctic circle fades away from the phantom of civilization, the world will look the most primitive. , after running out of energy, it's just dust returning to dust, and this land is the real face of this world." I couldn't help rolling my eyes, I felt that he was very pretentious, in the real world you are a keyboard warrior only Moaning on the Internet, hating the society when no one cares, but ignoring your mother who cares about you the most. If you want to leave the oppressive Japan so much, you can go abroad to Africa and see the real poverty. And in this uninhabited Tokyo, people have designed all kinds of games to test human nature with the threat of life being taken away, but you compare it to the pure white and flawless environment of the Arctic Circle? This pot does not carry the Arctic Circle, okay! !
that is it.
