The platform

It's a behavioral science horror story. The social commentary is hardly "hidden"

It's so fucking obvious in it's messanging, and symbols it becomes annoying. And it's not even the lack of subtlety itself, but the fact that the director actually fucking dares to go this unsubtle while having literally nothing interesting in terms of direction. It's just minimalist garbage with obvious angsty themes of social hierarchy and what is especially fucking shameless are the biblical references. Like holy fuck this spaintard must have thought that he's so fucking smart while making this crap. No you're not smart, Parasite did the same fucking thing but without muh biblical references and with actually talanted direction.

it’s all good and well until he saves the child but gets off the platform for no reason

why does that guy have such pretty hair?

we're really bad at making kino
we're like a discount france, kinomatically speaking, and for the most part they're not very good either

Italy is where the european kino is at

would they have even let him out if he just perservered for another month? Surely he wouldnt be allowed to talk about any of this in the outside world

So he could look like Jesus later after he was beaten up and make the religious metaphor more obvious

The child was a hallucination btw

No one ever gotten out it's just an allegory for the sake of making an allegory...

LOL this is just Cube with extra levels

Imagine all the cells filled with 4chantards, now that would be a movie!

This looks so cheap. Why does everything look so cheap now? Every movie looks like this. Looks like its lit and set designed for a cheap television production

Because it's a cheap Spanish movie

It looks no different than most American art house movies. All these cinematographers learn lighting from youtube.

>it's another "socioeconomical allegory" movie made by someone with the critical capabilities of a teenager
Hard pass. I already reached my quota of pseud films with Joker and Parasite.

Its entertaining but it lacks substance

Too on-your-nose message and bad characters.
Im spanish and I had to watch it with subtitles, most low tier spanish actors cant talk properly.

Carlos Vermut is the only good modern spanish director.

WHAT WAS THE FUCKING MESSAGE

It's a doggy dog world out there
There will never be enough food for the poor
And the rich will just shit all over everyone beneath them

But if you sacrifice a little girl it'll all work out or something

i enjoyed it for a the on the nose political commentary, similar to animal farm
but the message fails even in the confines of its own small fictional world

that panna cotta is fucking great, didnt you watch the movie?

le cube

Yea this is definitively an unofficial sequel to the Cube franchise. And not far off the original in quality.

Main problems I have with the movie:

Why didnt anyone else ride the platform down and then back up? Why didnt the killer chick find her kid at the bottom if she rides it all the way down?

i have no idea what it's message was, but i enjoyed it. Reminded me somewhat of Cube

Everything is digital now. Even movies shot on film. The grain is super fine now, and even still it's digitized and cleaned up. For as much as they talked about shooting the new Star Wars on film, it looked super digital. Even the physical sets.

Should have given it a better end. Otherwise, a good movie.

The only real value is presenting a nice thought experiment. So, how would you solve the hunger problem in The Pit?
The old man with his samurai plus had a pretty good idea.

Have never heard of this shit, is it a bad percolation of The Exterminating Angel?

great movie and the only way to really understand the ending is if youve read Don Quixote or seen the movie. main character in the platform looks like Don Quixote and experiences similar things. this movie is very kino and theres a whole lot to think about when it comes to reviewing this one. a very top shelf pick for sure, everything in the movie was great including the ending which ive seen many ppl online say that its the biggest problem they have with the movie. again, Don Quixote dies in the end just like Goering does, sine hes a symbolic representation of Don Quixote. the movie is rich with symbolism and i fear The Platform will be underappreciated for a few years before it finally is an accepted cult classic. real top notch stuff here and im shocked netflix picked it up - keep in mind netflix didnt produce the platform the only thing they did was the multi-lingual dubs for it. and the english dub to this isnt bad at all, very watchable and im glad they did that so i didnt have to read the whole movie, obviously.

The ending was absolute meaningless trash

circle was a better cube sequel, imo

Why did the chick keep riding down every month?

So that was a tranny right?

>WHAT WAS THE FUCKING MESSAGE

The little girl pancake on the ceiling of level 0

My favourite food is a dozen thanksgiving turkeys.
get fucked administration

>capitalism BAD, socialism GOOD
>people on the upper floors are selfish (EAT THE RICH)
>People on the lower floors are selfish too! But you can threaten to kill them and they'll obey!
>ENFORCE socialism, it's the only way
Might be the dumbest fucking movie I have ever seen

I love how this movie triggers right-wing brainlets, despite not really making any left-wing point.

the ending made it seem dishonest but overall an excellent movie

It tries to say that capitalism is bad but ends up saying that most people don't give a shit

What was the point behind the "You can't keep food on the floor." rule not being enforced on the last level?

If i knew what i was getting into, id bring a pet calf or chicken. If that was forbidden, id bring a thick book that i had drenched and dried out in fat, protein and essential vitamins.
On the lower levels id get just enough energy to keep me alive. On the higher levels id try and fatten up as much as possible and sneak every stain of food i could on ripped piece of clothing.
This might buy me 2-4 months on the no-food levels providing i wasnt killed by a neighbor.

the ending was kino.
>goering and the nigger make it to the bottom with the panicotta
>notice a girl under the bed, get off platform
>platform goes to the very bottom, goering and nigger still on lvl 333 with the child
>still holding the pannicotta and lvl 333 doesnt heat up or get cold bc the food was kept on a floor
>mechanics of the pit have been broken since an untouched dish reached the bottom floor
>a day passes and the nigger bleeds out
>not wanting to put the child thru the pains of cannibalism, goering does the right thing and gets the child to level zero to escape the pit and draw attention to the fact things are not right in the pit
>the administration knows food doesnt reach the lower levels but they dont care, the only thing they do care about is their regulators, laws, rules - seeing a child reach lvl 0 breaks those laws
>since goering is literally a symbolic Don Quixote - he goes off at the end with Tremigassi to die as its symbolic of the old ways dying in response to a new world being born
>the girl being set free from level zero via the administration goes onto expose the pit for what it really is since people are ignorant of its horrors
>the pit is shut down due to a mass public outcry

its the logical ending but requires you to know don quixote and to notice the symbolism scattered throughout the kino itself.

>the guy that brought a surf board
kek

What's keeping any of the prisoners of any floor from kidnapping and raping the kid?

I like this genre where human guinea pigs have to play convoluted, cruel games. It's just suspense for suspense sake but the message always falls flat and nobody cares about it.

Commie propaganda

excelent post my friend, but
>The administration are the ones who move the humans every month
>They know full well there is a child in there, and all the other fucked up things that happen

i thought it was interesting how they chose what floors to show in the movie as well.
333 floors with 2 inmates on each floor equates to a starting value of 666 prisoners.
really makes you think.
the movie had a few other occult symbolism elements i noticed as well.

i think the whole public ignorance to what the pit is on the outside really tells a lot about it too.
since Goreng went into the pit not knowing anything about it.
its the paradigm of the opened eyes and closed eyes, the divide in society of the people who really see vs those who are blind to reality.

>if people only ate what they needed, there'd be plenty for everyone below them
2deep4me

That's actually great, i might read don Quixote later

though the plot holes in this movie still bothers me, i guess it's all about symbolism

unironically 100% true.
everything is so hamfisted and down your throat, that the director completely forgot to tell a story.

i think the general idea is that if the cooks on lvl zero saw the child bc its implied they are the ones that clean the platform each day, that they would raise a big enough fuss about it to where the girl would be released.
your points are valid tho.
the authoritarian ending to it and most depressing is that
>the platform doesnt slow down at all when it reaches level zero
>anything on the platform is thrust at high speed into the ceiling of lvl zero and anything living, would die
>the girl dies in the end and nothing changes and goerings journey was for nothing bc things never really change

>Carlos Vermut is the only good modern spanish director.
based, but don't forget Jose Luís Cuerda

>believing the girl was real and not merely a symbol
p l e b

obviously

It perfectly encapsulates the commie failure to understand the relationship between the production of goods (the food) and the distribution of goods to others (the prison). The commie believes that goods should be distributed fairly without the basic understanding that any excess goods provided by those who produced it to others is not mandatory and is entirely morally excessive. This belief is endemic in commie thought because commie thought is possessed only by bourgeoisie who have never produced a goddamned thing in their entire lives.

>I can't comprehend the fictional world that the movie presents, so I'll just remove parts of it until it fits my smooth-brained ideas.
