The Platform Netflix Original Movie
Eat or be eaten.
The Spanish movie The Platform that is currently on Netflix shows great human nature, while playing with the convention and slightly inspired by an older movie.
The film begins very inconspicuously with a man in a cell who voluntarily went to her because he wants to get a diploma for merit, against him is another man who ended up in the cell because he had only a choice either there or to a psychiatrist (he chose the end of the end worse) and against there is a huge pit that you pull over several hundred floors.
Once a day, a Swedish table with the best food passes through the hole and everyone being higher can eat, but the lower the worse for the people in the cell.
The film perfectly describes human nature if you are high enough, the days fly quietly, but when the month passes and you are thrown into new, sometimes lower targets, hunger begins to dominate.
The film focuses on the psychology of our main character, who turns from an ordinary man reading Don Quixote into a cannibal under the influence of hunger and hesitates at nothing.
Constant hallucinations, constant turmoil and lack of food mean that the main character has the worst 6 months in his life. She tries to change something when she comes across a new occupant of the cell, but people are so constructed that she rides as much as possible without looking at others.
The work is minimalist, there are no special effects here, only one cell and a hole in the middle where the platform provides food.
The film is an interesting appeal that people can eat all of them without looking at the others around them. I watched the film with English dubbing and I must admit that the votes were really interesting for this work.
The film is strong, more than once touching the boundaries of morality and overcoming it to show how human behavior is not eating for a long time.
Our main character will have several roommates and everyone has different ambitions and a different character from the old man who did not like commercials, to the lady who made the list of dishes and the general interview before hitting the "test", to the black guy whom I immediately liked, because somehow the only one did not think about himself and he wanted to show "to those in advance" that there is a problem and a serious one and their test is completely badly balanced.
Despite an hour and a half, the film is not boring, as the viewer wants to see what will happen next, where the platform will go and whether someone will save from this sick game.
The film is partly inspired by such a Next Floor work, there was also an excess of food there, and overeating resulted in the whole table and people falling one floor down, which could be an allegory of hell. The platform is conceived of the same hell, the lower the floor, the human rule begins to enter a new, sick level.
The hero, like Jesus, does not want to change all this and he has to go to the bottom himself for something to change.
A very nice movie with many threads that is worth watching for me on 9/10
