Even today, November 4, 2021, the South Korean series sensation ” Squid Game ” is still in second place in the Netflix Top 10. However, those who have already streamed the thriller and survival series to the end can now find new supplies on Netflix: 2 earlier films by “Squid Game” maker Hwang Dong-hyuk are now available on the streaming service.
” Squid Game ” is a South Korean action-drama drama series directed by renowned South Korean filmmaker and screenwriter Hwang Dong-hyuk. It had its premiere on Netflix on September 17. It stars actors Lee Jung Jae, Park Hae Soo, Heo Sung Tae, and Wi Ha Joon, the latter being the one who has aroused the greatest interest in viewers who have seen a K-Drama for the first time.
Synopsis
According to the synopsis of ” Squid Game ” (“The squid game” in Latin America), hundreds of players short of money accept a strange invitation to compete in children’s games. Inside, an irresistible prize awaits them … and deadly risk.
The series tells the story of people who live with debts that they cannot pay; They are summoned by a mysterious group of masked men to participate in a series of children’s games, with only one very particular difference, if they lose they will die. The winner will get a prize of more than 45 billion won (about 800 million Mexican pesos).
Lots of people die
Without a doubt, the latest Netflix hit, the nine-episode series “Squid Game” from South Korea, has a devilish joy in revealing the unexpected twist to the viewer – and in staging it effectively. As it turns out, “disqualification” is to be understood as a malicious euphemism. If a participant loses, he or she does not simply drop out but is executed. The first shot is a breach of the dam, then several volleys pour out from all directions.
People fall to the ground like flies in slow motion – fountains of blood in front of cotton-wool clouds can be seen, a delicate woman’s voice sings Sinatra’s “Fly me to the moon”. Some commentators recognize this key scene as an unnecessary aestheticization of a banal slaughter. In the biting contrast, one can also see a cynical attitude that is appropriate for a parable on the no less cynical reality of life in capitalism.
In this, too, unheard-of opposites collide, there is an immense simultaneity. It may be a simplified worldview, but how many nuances allows the fact that in the same year in which billionaires like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Tesla boss Elon Musk compete with childish zeal for space and regularly for millions Super-rich want to fulfill the decadent dream of space tourism , according to Oxfam, an average of eleven people starve to death every minute?
The cynical display of social injustice in “Squid Game” is not a pose. The South Korean screenwriter and director Hwang Dong-hyuk had the idea for the series during the financial crisis in 2008. The anger can be seen in his work. This is probably why the criticism of capitalism and the logic of competition that is inherent in it is similar to that of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” of communism at the time.
Does Number 29 Die In Squid Game
Wi Ha-Jun is Joon-ho
Joon-ho is a detective policeman and number 29 who goes undercover in “The Squid Game” to find his brother. In the series, his brother disappears and when Joon-ho goes to look for him, he finds the card that Gi-hun had left at the police station to report this game, but no one believed him.
Thus, he enters that place looking for the truth about where his family member is, however, he is surprised that he was always the leader of the murderers.
