Don't make useless games with the god of death!

There are three in total, the first one is excellent, the second and third are garbage, because there is no innovation in the overall structure, the story is basically the same, just change the name and change the way of death.

For this movie, the first thing that jumped out after watching it was "The Seventh Seal". Although one of the two is a purely commercial film and the other is a purely literary film, the stories are indeed strikingly similar - the protagonist hopes to play a game with the god of death to get rid of death. However, the final conclusion of both films is the same: man cannot defeat God.

In addition, another major feature of this film is the setting of suspense. Hitchcock has a famous example of what suspense is: Two people walk into a room, sit down to talk, and suddenly a bomb goes off under the table. - This process provides surprises to the audience. Conversely, if the audience first sees a murderer entering the house and hiding the bomb on the table before they enter the house, then the next two people enter the house without finding the bomb and still sit and talk. --Then the whole process is called suspense. Knowing the answer in advance seems to make the story boring, but on the contrary, reasonable suspense settings often make the story exciting. This movie is just that. The protagonist has the ability to predict, but he is not believed by everyone, and then he dies one by one. The story is simple and exciting, and it is a typical movie that makes people watch very high.

In addition, the ending of the movie gives an ending that is not the ending, which can be said to be more ingenious. The audience knows that everyone must be unable to avoid the coming of death, but in the end, the movie did not end until everyone died, but ended with a few people left. While leaving a certain room for imagination, it also makes people look forward to the sequel (BS again for the sequel to this movie).
