Because there are 2 people on the first floor, there are a total of 666 people. The number of demons in Western culture is too old.
The story of "Hunger Platform" will inevitably be compared with the stunning short film "The Next Level" by the Bullfrog. Although "Hunger Platform" has greatly enriched the story line and expanded the setting, it seems to be better if everything has logic, but in my opinion, the charm is much worse than "Next Level".
First, the relationship between "significant" and "signified" has not been properly handled. The more the "referred", the less the "signifier". What happened in the prison pit, the mapping of the real world, is a bit too simple and straightforward, and it can even be drawn out one by one. The purpose of each story element is arranged. They are all too clear, and they have lost the poetic quality that is worth repeating. And "Next Level" is much more interesting.
Second, in terms of production, compared with "Next Level" and "Hunger Platform", the performance of food texture, the portrayal of different people, the design of performances, and the combination of sound, picture, light and shadow are not the same level. Similar settings can produce such different textures, which shows how critical the level of the screenwriter and director is to the presentation of the film.
Third, whether the little girl is real or illusory is not important. It can’t add many highlights of the movie itself. The purpose of this design seems to be a ambivalent contrast with the scene where the chef took out pudding desserts and questioned the hair in the middle of the movie. , But whether it’s a little girl or a pudding, they are actually props to successfully complete the protagonist’s ultimate goal, just adding some fun, just like the last top of "Inception".
If you want to be a bit spicy, you can design it like this: when you reach the 333th floor, you see the little girl, and the protagonist and the black man are entangled in two choices: choose one, starve the little girl, and send the pudding message; choose two, give up the pudding Plan, choose to save the little girl. No matter what the final decision of the two is, the ending will be interesting, and the expression will be more.
The current version is boring because it is too straightforward.
