There's a trending Korean series now which is the Squid Game. From what I saw , it is a survival game and you will win a lot of money when you won. Because it's trending nowadays I asked my husband if he can download it so that we can watch it. I know he will like it because he likes to watch those kind of genre. He download it but when he transferred it to the flashdrive and we watched it on the television , there's no subtitle and I don't want to watch a movie without a subtitle that why we stop watching it.
On the other day , he said to me he has an another movie entitled Alice in Borderland and I said to him that movie is like Squid Game , it's a survival game also but it's a Japanese one. Good thing he downloaded the one that is already dubbed in English so we can watch it in the television without a subtitle.
The series has 8 episodes and we watched it for two nights. 5 episodes last night and 3 episode on the other night. I am not good at movie reviews and I have no time to research the characters and directors. All I remember from the character was Arisu and Aguni haha.
So this series gaves us a roller coaster of emotion. This is not a bloody series compared to others because if it's bloody then I wouldn't watch it for sure. When we watch the first episode that usually a quite boring for some , this one is different because on the first episode you will looking forward to watch more. This is a survival game that is more on intelligence competition that's why it's more interesting to watch.
The game begins when they entered a place and came across the red borderline and you can back out because you will die. Each players has a mobile phone that they will used as a timer and the mobile phone has the instructions. I will not mentioned the game every episode so that the one's who didn't watch the series yet became curious but the game play depends on the cards.
This series makes me cry also. I cried a lot of the fourth episode and last episode.
What I learned in this series.
Having a true friend is a treasure.
This series is a survival game and even if the players are friends they need to survive for thier life and forget the thing called friendship but in this movie I saw how selfless the friend of Arisu is. I am crying on the episode four when they let Arisu won and live and before they die they said to Arisu. Live for us. They choose to die even if they want to live also.
True friend is someone who will not tolerate you always if you are wrong.
Aguni , the bad guy on the series is not actually bad. They just followed the plan of his friend to build the Tokyo Paradise but when his friend because more harmful he voice out his feeling and told his friend to stop that nonsense thing. He knows that if he's going to voice out might killed but still said it. When his friend aim his gun to him , he already shoot his friend for defense until he find out that the gun of his friend has no bullet.
Sometimes you need to sacrifice something to have something.
I dont know if it's a lesson but I heard this phrase on one of the characters in the series. He made a plan and lie to Arisu and then Arisu caught by Aguni but because of that the one who said those phrase knew what he needs to know to get the cards. He sacrifice Arisu so that he can find a way to solve the problem
Sometimes trust is the only way for you to survive.
This scene happened when all of the players didn't know how to solve the game and they need to trust Arisu even if it's just 66 percent of chance that he is right. They trusted Arisu and they won the game.
Being helpful on your co players even if you see them for the first time.
It was happened on the game called distance when Arisu help the fractured man and didn't think about his safety anymore. At the end of the game they won.
There's a lot of twist in the two last episode of the series wherein the past of the character showed on the movie. There's also a revelation on the last episode and they are trying to find the game master but they didn't succeed instead they found out that the game is not yet finished and they need to play for the face cards.
Authors note: I dont know if you understand my article because I find it unorganized haha. My apologies.Pero promise maganda sya, Ang pogi pa si Arisu hahahaha
