There is a sentence at the beginning of the movie that there are three kinds of people in this world, upper class people, lower class people and people who are constantly falling. The first two kinds of people are easy to understand, but the third kind of people may have another meaning in addition to the superficial meaning of falling from the prison pit, that is, in this mechanism, there is only a continuous process of degeneration, the conscience is slowly eroded, and the upper-class people are selfish and selfish. The lower-level people are fighting each other, and there are also a group of corrupt people, all the villains.

The male protagonist is the incarnation of Don Quixote on the surface, but in the end, he is also living for himself. He kills people who don't listen to his opinions, and calls it the mechanism of changing the prison pit. kind of dictatorship?

In addition, when it comes to the existence of little girls, I am biased towards non-existence. Except for the more intense discussions, I think that when the male protagonist passes out on the 333rd floor and sees the old man and the female roommate, the female The roommate said that his dog is also a belief, but we know that the dog is dead, which also implies that the girl does not exist either. In fact, we assume that both puddings and girls exist. If puddings exist, there are already strong hints in the movie. People who make food on the 0th floor will not guess the meaning contained in the remaining complete puddings, then Pudding's hope was lost.

Assuming that the girl exists, then she will not change when she goes to the top floor. The person who makes the food has no decision-making power. The old man's roommate also said that the management people have no conscience, and they will not care about these people. life and death.

In addition, the metaphor of the male protagonist Don Quixote is also very interesting. In the original book, Don Quixote finally realized that the things he did were useless and ideal before he died. Is it understandable that what the male protagonist does is also useless, those things in his hands, whether it's a pudding or a girl, can't change the ending in the end, it's nothing.

    I didn't know why at the beginning, but in the middle of it, I thought wow, it's very creative, and the ending is inexplicable. Why did it suddenly end? Doubt: Why did the male protagonist enter voluntarily? Why did that little girl live so long without eating and drinking?

    The vertical version of "Snow Country Train", which rises and falls, directly points out the main body of class contradictions as soon as it comes up. Each lower level is the lower class, and the benefits obtained are left over by the upper level. Everything is so direct. This prison experiment that sets up spontaneous unity is a large-scale social experiment. It is conceivable that what can be inspired is not unity, but the ever-limiting evil of human nature. The upper-class members of the administration can be used for generations. sit back and relax. It's a very good concept, but unfortunately, I can't make the depth and level of "Snow Country Train". The more you go back, the less enjoyable it is. I feel that the director hasn't figured out how to dig out the story, and the movie ended hastily. Even if it is simple and rude, it is not bad, but it is not as fun as "The Cabin in the Woods", providing physical comfort, and it is really suitable for Netflix to be a big network when it is filmed, and it does not waste its strong sense of big data. Nowadays, this is a new type of movie. It is set up with a high concept of science through the character's mouth, but there is no narrative in the whole process, and the story will not be unfolded.
