Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this movie isn't a movie. I prefer to understand the film this way.
The movie seems to have various endings, and through our choices, to some extent, lead to different outcomes. But what I want to say is that it doesn't matter. Our choices don't matter at all. It doesn't matter what the ending is.
Because the part of the movie about Stefan, our choices, these plots, is the game of Bandersnatch itself. We are playing the game, we are playing the game, not watching the movie.
One of the endings is like this, everyone knows that time jumps to the contemporary time, and Pearl Ritman starts to restart the development of the game Bandersnatch. And in her Bandersnatch, the protagonist is Stefan. And all of our previous operations and watching movies are playing this Pearl Ritman version of Bandersnatch. The plot of this game is that Stefan developed the game Bandersnatch.
Then this sign appeared again, Pearl Ritman also became the object of our choice, and began to be "controlled", which actually formed a cycle. It's anyone who studies Bandersnatch, and they experience a nervous breakdown, feel like they're being controlled, and then something terrible happens, like a spell.
I said we were playing the game Bandersnatch, but the guy Stefan was in the situation, and like in Pearl Ritman's game, there was this guy who did the game and then had a nervous breakdown and killed people. But here, what the real situation is is beyond the scope of discussion, that is to say, we don't know how the Stefan murder in the real world happened. What we know is the story of Stefan in the game Bandersnatch, and the content of this film It's all Pearl Ritman's game, and we're playing her game.
So, how would you rate this game?
