I miss shit like Dawn of the Dead, used to be the "Message" didn't mean the rest of the movie could be a plothole ridden mess.

That's not the point at all retard.
It's a criticism of all systems, the ones at the top who make the rules are disconnected from the realities of the ones below, they cook the menu and expect everyone to have their share. But EVEN IF the food is rashioned there still Is not enough as we see at the end of the movie showing that the ones who makes the rules don't understand their own system. And even if a perfect system was made where everyone could have their shair it is always ruined by the individual desires and greed of men.
Plus at the end of the movie the message is disgarded by the manager further showing the disconnect between the rule makers and the prisoners.

At some point when the Woke shit really started taking off people thought that if you were "Saying something" then any critique against it meant you were on the "Wrong side" of the argument instead of just agreeing that what they said was good, so agree the movie is good. That's how we end up like shitheaps of a flop like Ghostbusters or Terminator, they thought it was more important for girls to succeed in a world where men are dumb or for an illegal immigrant to save mankind than, you know, writing a story that wasn't absolute shit. Go Woke, Brain Broke.

The film was depicting life under communism tho

>The message was disregarded by manager
Aight ima tell you in my netflix copy the movie ends with the message coming up to the room 0. How the fuck do you know what happened afterwards?
If there was a fucking post-credit scene then I hate this movie.
Luis Reyes
It’s not even communism good tho. They try it and it pretty much instantly fails because there’s not enough to go round
Kevin Sullivan
Which is real neat for a metaphor.
Not so much a smart move when you bring up a pretty simple question for the narrative of the movie itself.
>ut EVEN IF the food is rashioned there still Is not enough
So you're telling me they can design a super intricate and meticulously crafted tunnel reaching hundreds of feet below ground, since its too tall to be a building, and also create a delivery device that goes off magnetism or advanced tech or fucking magic for all it matters, but they can't just, I dunno, look at how much people are in the thing when making the food? Like they can't actually just do a simple calculation for calories here? Wow yeah deep commentary on the system since you know they either volunteered or were chosen to go in there because of crime but amount of food correlation, that's outside their scope. Its not even some kind of corruption thing! They spent fuckloads on the food they send down, its some high quality stuff. They clearly are sending down stuff thats worth a lot so its not like they're taking the money out like a private prison would for its food.
But i mean its only the main plot, why ask questions like that.
Carson Jackson
Yo hol up guys.
Yes everyone will get their food on the menu and you can not store food in you room. Okay that doesn't sound capitalistic. But still the rations are made like one big ration therefore the top dogs eat the others doesnt - muh capitalism.
To make the communist idea work they had to use violence.
You know

Mason Parker
During the middle of the movie the manager is shown with a penna cotta, identical to the one at the end of the movie. He sees a single hair in it and blames one of the cooks for letting a hair in. He probably assumes the dish was returned becuase of the hair showing his misunderstanding of the suffering below. The people at the top don't understand the message. Im sure this scene was the true ending of the film, and that the girl at the end was an illusion of metaphor for selflessness.
Luke Foster
Yeh. Might be.
Still as I said I love to imagine the ending was literall and the girl got.splattered all over the room 0, just so the workers get the message - kids are dying from starvation, delete this shithole.

Here's a pretty big plothole with that.
>Its explicitly said they name their favorite food when they go in, and the chefs make that for them.
>Meaning that at minimum, there should be one dish for one person
Maybe rather than "Saying something" about how the people up top take what you love and all that, they should have left that tidbit out and not made the whole conflict not make sense. It literally only comes up like twice.
Sebastian Clark
>but they can't just, I dunno, look at how much people are in the thing when making the food? Like they can't actually just do a simple calculation for calories here?
They can, and find that it isn't enough to feed the entire prison population.
Connor Jenkins
>Meaning that at minimum, there should be one dish for one person
Only if there was enough of a supply in the first place, which there isn't. You're a retard.
Matthew Butler
It doesn't matter what technology literally exists, that's the fact of the movie. You see it yourself, even with everyone only eating their share AND the top 51 floors not eating at all there is still not enough food for the last 150~ floors of people. That's not counting for all the people who have already killed themselves and obviously didn't need food and I doubt the people of level 5-1 ate enough food for 300 people.
Wyatt Hernandez
>Only if there was enough of a supply in the first place,
And here's where you face plant right into the mud, pick your direction.
Either
>A, not everyone got their dish even though the movie made it clear from every character we meet their dish was on there, when it could have easily just been countered by having ONE character up high mention their favorite dish isn't there
or
>B, everyone's favorite dish is on there, meaning that the issue is the portions, but they are HUGE portions in every scene depicting them,
Or hell
>C, they just added that for no narrative reason at all and it really contradicts pretty much the entire ending because even if it was a tiny portion per-person, they would have enough for everyone since its a 1-1 correlation of dish to people in the hole
Thomas Martin
>it's impossible that multiple people have the same favorite food

>It doesn't matter what technology literally exists, that's the fact of the movie.
Hence "for all it matters", narrative wise its perfectly justifiable to withold technological information if the character would have no means of knowing it themselves. We don't need an exposition fairy here, its the problems with the information the movie does give where the whole narrative falls apart and any "Meaning" on it is lost due to the contradictions in it. What are we supposed to take away from a contrived situation that undoes things it said just to add a surface layer message to the thing.
>You see it yourself, even with everyone only eating their share AND the top 51 floors not eating at all there is still not enough food for the last 150~ floors of people.
So remove the line about people getting their favorite food because otherwise it means there should either be enough for everyone. What good is a narrative choice where they make overly expensive and lavishly created portions that are explicitly said to be their favorite food just to then turn around and imply that they just skipped a few people and we coincidentally never met the guys who missed their favored portions?
Why introduce something that contradicts your ending like that? Its baffling.
Liam Howard
>So remove the line about people getting their favorite food because otherwise it means there should either be enough for everyone.
You are completely splitting hairs over one fucking line, dude. Just because every prisoner gets to volunteer their favorite meal doesn't imply that there's enough food to go around for everyone, or that no two prisoners happen to like the same dish. You're desperate break the dam wide open with one little pedantic nitpick, but it's not even a particularly vulnerable point, let alone a plot hole. Your argument essentially boils down to, "but why would they give the prisoners false hope?" Because it's a prison, you fucking ding dong.
