The ending with the man dying on the street is not about faith in humanity or whether people will stop and help. It's all about making Gi-hun bet on his first human life, showing he is not better than any of them. Il nam won the 7th game the moment Gi-hun took the bet. Gi-hun could’ve left the room and helped the drunk man himself but he chose to stay and watch from above, just like the VIPs watched the games
-
After he "dies" the front man gets a call and says "glad you enjoyed the game, sir"
-
Another issue I have with the fairness of the games is the fact that they never said it was last man standing. They only said whoever finishes all six games wins the money. That would mean that multiple people could win
-
I CRIED when Il-Nam "died" and it was the first time I had properly cried in years. Only to find out that those tears went to waste.
-
really glad to finally see someone point out the ideological flaw of a "fair game" with the glass bridge game all because the VIPs were bored
-
I’ll never understand how 455 people didn’t think to ask “what happens when we’re eliminated”
-
I think the way the players don't know the first game is deadly until it is also another commentary on how many get into debt without fully understanding the consequences of whatever caused them to get into debt in the first place.
-
Also the heirarchy is determinded by they amount of angles (defined as finite vertices) on the mask, the circle has 0 ,triangle is 3, square is 4, the frontman has a load, and the vips have way to many angles to count
-
I think it's ironic to see how we see some people "sympathizing" with number one when he died, even though they would hate on sang woo no problem. Shows how the series accurately portraits reality, the people down the line gets the blame, the upper ones get sympathy, even when what they're doing is far more destructive and harmful.
-
I just wish we learned or saw more of the policeman and his brother (the front man). It's a plot point I was very interested in and it went by so quick!
-
Still hoping for the Floor is Lava game in the America contest
-
No matter how complex his character is, nothing can justify murdering innocent people for entertainment
-
This really does does speak to how some ultra wealthy people will justify the most unethical things to feed their egos, pockets, and dark desires. Often preying on the vulnerable in the process. If you’ve got enough money to buy a whole darn island, you’ve got enough money to invest in people to help them help themselves and tackle inequality. Anyway, excellent acting by Yeong-su Oh. Finally getting global recognition after a long career.
-
The game in the beginning was without informed consent and even after people were informed and given a chance to leave it's still extremely unethical because they exploited the people's desperation for money which they themselves created. And the way they treated the game as entertainment is highly dehumanizing.
-
One thing I love about Squid game is Front man's Mask.
-
He's the same Numba One from Kids Next Door right?
-
It’s true that he probably wasn’t safe from the big targeting doll in red light green light, but considering he’s probably watched this game plenty of times, he knows exactly when the doll is going to say red light and turn around, especially considering he stopped walking almost every time a split second before the doll turned around.
-
I never cried during a movie or show, until I watched the marble game.
-
Another thing I feel like no one is talking about is how every player has a chip implanted behind their ear when they arrive, maybe that’s how they’re able to know where the players are at all times? Even when they’re back in the real world?
-
I felt bad for gi hun at the time of 001s death but when I found out he was the host I was just mad
